The Memofialists have dwelt on the err
ror referred TO above. as they regard it, not
merely on account Of its fatal tendency,
andthe caamities which hav actuall v re-
suited from it, but, also, because they
are confident that you, in common with
many of our honest fellow citizens, have
overlooked one essential principle in as

doption Of principle which leads to the
NAL administration of SO perfect a system
of government as that which our fathers,
by their wisdom, their prayers, and their
blood had given to their posterity. They

tional government, and for its wise and eff

ileses ard blessings it Is so fitted TO afford
and perpetuate. They wait with hope FOR
the emancipation Of the nations ami Of all
men, by the light and power of the exam
pie OF sueh a government. They trust that
no unauthorized mole of its administration
will cause it to fail of its design, and that
you may yet see in this respect one false
principle, if adhered to must prove a
principle of weakness and decav-a sure
prelude to the end of all our greatness,
happiness and glory--a death-spot in the
tree of Liberty. whose leaves. like those OF
the tree OF life, are for the healing OF the
nations.
