cognizes protection and security as The fun,

purpose ofgovernment. We therefore De-

is essential TO the political as we'll as moral
excellence of social life. While We declare

be alternately governed by their hopes and
fears; and will 50 Vary under similar CIR
cumstances both efLazo and fact, that the
people of this and Of the other states, Will

which ought to be squire as c!amoHd Of
the first vater' will be polluted with the
spirit of party.
Lastly. We shall endeavour to deserve
the patronage of the public by consulting
The public good, rather than the srashcation
of any "sec," or demo mination OF meu.
