be ;mputed TO the national executive, who,
pretending to adop, the views they had ex-
cited in1he populaee and holding the wishes
of the merchants in contempt, asked every
thing, for the purpose OF gett'ng nothing.
Such is the true history OF our affairs
with Grta, Britain. Has commercial Gu
pidity involved us in difficulty with France!
What merchant ever. complained OF the
treaty made with that power, just before
Mr.. Jefferson came into5 flee They
were eoptent with thattrea1y. They relied
upon it. They had the etn Instant assurances,
directly or indirectly Of our government,
that France might be trusted. They ex-
spected and had right to expect that it 1t
was violated by France, our government
would fulflthe main purpose Tor which 1t
was established protect our rights against
faithless nations France has most out
rageously violated her treaty. Our mer-
chants are robbed and some ruined. They
ask ofgovernment TO give them redress
Is this unreasonable Are they for this to
be insul,ed with the yillainous charge OF in
,olvirg the na,ion'by their unbounded Gu
pidisy Every citizen has right to the
advantages secured by a treaty, but certain
" that class of society had an augmented
claim to the protection, when millions of
their property were taken, in the first place,
and sacrificed TO the syarce OF France with
out a cent of indemnihcation, in orcer to
obtain that treaty.
Now whence proceed the immense evils
L * II
ters From The 7ront of that treaty with
England, which our government refused to
renew and from the violation Of the exist
ing treaty with France. After rejecting on
these simple facts, let the American people
determine whether the fault lies at the door
Of government or of the merchants. Let
them determine whether the charge against
the latter, in the government paper, is no:
cruel calumny.

And teeth so VIII te. and dimpled chin
And bosom fair. and pure within;

And steps as light as any fairy

And let my simple words prevail
My mothers old, she's old and poor.
And scarce can totter to the door
And me she loves, her only joy

Very well; it shews that YOU have
credit now; and the way to KEEP i, is
% use It not too freely. Before on
cl'nch the bargain, lock about you, and
oasider a few points:
1. Is the price considerably higher
than TOR really cash and, toe ether wi h
tbs enhanced price, have YOU also 10
pay interest? Ifso, you are sure to
make losing trade.
2. Il the thing be an article Of
cloathing, or furniture, or food, or
drink, which you can well enough do
without; then take it rot on credit.
Ra,her wait till you have ready money
TO spare for il. 1t is better to turn the
old coat than run in debt for new
one. Old fashioned furniture is more
conn., r;able in the end, than articles of
taste, unpaid for.
s. 1t The article or ar,icles, be
hoase, or land, or goods for sale, it al
tiers the case some, but should not a..
bate your caution. /. Ike, a sharp
look out, lest the creditprice TOO much
IN'eeu 'oe 'eaoy money price. Z-
Consider whether there be moral
certainty that you can meet yopr pay
ments punctually, without distressing
Yourself 8. Whether the thing or
things you buy, would at any time bring
you about as much money as you pro-.
mise for them, should other resources
tail. Ifso, III re is little or no dan
ger. Otherwise beware.
Mul,itudes are undone by taxing, %
well as by givieg too much credit.
{" In the aH irs ofthis world,'' as some
body has observed before me, "men
