THE FACTS.
Public morals in Amorica are aa bad ~ they
can we'll be. Wo have a noble country, which
Providence has charged with all it's bountios and
opulenco. Tho elomonts which maao up the
country wero Of the most admirable On the
earth. Our syatem Of government ia the most
natural, the most just, and the most encouraging,
On the globe. To reBist tho undermining OF it,
to challenge thoae who oneroaeh upon it, like d
Bentinel (often exceeding my duty and comfort,
and often under tho aorest temptation from
plundorera, amiable conHpirators, and people
with gorgeons schomaB), have beon my duty and
my painB. When mon like Morton roaumo their
responsibility, and reliove more writer's Of these
rough tasks, lot them bo encouraged BY the full
applause Of the country. GATH.
