they will destroy confidence between man and man.
they will overthrow ali the institutions, which the
wisdom OF those, who have gone before US. have
erected for the honor and advantage of the people.
They will persist in their mischsvious system of ex
perimen,ing upon the prosperity Of the country, and
iampeHns with the most delicate concerns of the
body polite, until utter ruin broods over the whole.
The people must DO sick Of these ruinous c1peri.
