From the frequency OF our elections
there would scarcely be any Interrupt
ton in these struggles, and the longer
they should continue, the greater would
be their violence.

mote union and harmony in the public
Councils, and among our FeIlow-CIll-

bers Of The Government, as well III their

convince the Peop:s, that our attention
is employed for The benefit OF all our

of one part To another: That we are
s0licitous 10 establish just proportion

That of whatever denomination they
are we will listen to their complaints
