PUBLIC RELIEF


A very able report has recently been made
to the legislature Of New Jersey, on the sub
Jeet of granting relief to the citizens of that
state. from their present embarrassments, by
apublic loan, or by the suspension of sales
on judgments for limited time. The first
point is very fully discussed by the commit
tee, and they come to this conclusion, that
they cannot recommend q loan of money by
The ssate 10 oppressed debtors. On the second
point the committee bestow much labor and
research, and conclude against the PROPOSE.
ton. 1T is altogether mistake - they say,
I" to suppose that there is deficiency of mo-
ney in our country; and there is, therefore,
no reason that we should turn our farms and
our cattle into circulating medium, and
compel creditors to take them in payment for
debts. The real defect is in mutual conf
denee, and the alarming reduction of the va
lue of property OF every kind. It's most OBJ
yious that this distrust will greatly increase,
ifthe man who has money TO lend is deprived
Of the powers Of the law TO recover it from
delinquent debtor; who is thus protected in
the breach of his contract Even the daily
credit given for the necesssries of life, so
convenient to the poor, must cease and no
prudent man will part with his property un.
til he receives the stipulated consideration
what will become of the immense porfion of
the business Of the community, which is done
by credit and confidence?
6 is not easy to foresee all the injurious
consequences that will follow so important
change in the business Of society; it is, in
fact, to new mould it; to regulate the com
mercial intercourse of our citizens on new
principles, and extending TO past transactions,
TO strike vitality at the confidence in contrcts.
We will not say that state of things night
not exist where il might be indispensable, land
therefore justiahle, 10 resort to such despe.
rate means of salvation; but we do not be-
lieye any such extremity Of distress has yet
come upon us; and We prefer TO trust to slow
er and safer means of redress; which, we
believe. will be found in the industry, econ
omy and prudence ofour people; and in that
power of self regulation and restoration, so
often discerned in human affairs, which.
when left TO itself, has removed difficulties
greater than ours"

Declaration Of independence

n E. -f u =
WE have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the PROUD. column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye Of
taste can rest, fora moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyi-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on it---his fine copy Of Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatur eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, of King John,
King Henry, and their G Barons bold"
Surely the. Declaration Of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and if the fac-similes Of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to graz
tify curiosity, at least as laudabe as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration ofandepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve-
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public IL
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
render il an ornament to an apartment, Will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve to place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseIi-an famliarze those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society
Nor is it of small moment that such an edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
