GRAVE.
Freemen, look on this picture, and
hear what WASHINGTON says:
. In country like this, where E.
quail liberty is enjoyed where every
man may reap his own harvest, which
by proper attention will afford him
much more than is necessary for his
own consumption, and where there is /
so ample a field for mercantile and
mechanical exertion, if there cannot
be found money sufficient for the
common purposes of life, not to men
ton the necessary commercial clrcula-
ton, is evident that there is some
thing amiss in the RULING POLIT-
! ICAL POWER, which requires a
steady, regulating, energetic, honest
hand to correct and control it. Eve
ry mans experience will tell him
when such a state of things exists;
the most melancholy and eq~arocat
proof of 1t, being A GENERAL
FALL IN THE PRICE OF PRO
PERTY."
, The above is from letter of Wash
/ ington to John Armstrong, and may
be found at page S53 of vol. 9 of
Sparks Life.
And having read and considered
this, look at what follows

down wages to that sum-wheat will

if and the only one that can enable the
