public debt, and the les ening Of the amount
Of taxation; q careful preservation Of the pri-
mary school and university funds, and their
diligent application to the great objects for
which they were created and also further
legislation to prevent the unnecessary or inn
prudent sale Of the lands belonging to the
States.

that the preparation of such measure requires
the first talents Of the State.

aMany feared, and others confidently pre-
dicted, that there could be no cordial union or
concert of action amongst men hitherto enter
