which II viii take years 10 wipe away.
II IS no part OF our present purpose TO inquire how
far these mstnrtunes are attributable TO the Govern

Denis. Goods have passed through but few hands,
from the manufacturer 10 the consumer instead of be-

feel deeply and express themselves strongly IL they
attribute their sastcrs TO the Government. 1t IS not
strange that they should hate and abhor that Govern
ment.

done much to bring ruin upon the country bcnci
