I compare it to a rrole hill that was ronfbufted with great labor and exertirn, but is as foon fratteicd about by the carelefs native who cafts an eve of contempt upon i', and con fines it again into its dijmai man fen of oblivion. ! fhall only anfwcr to the ex pofuion you made of a fa£f re lating to his Fxcellency, whole political life never deviates from the path of rc&itude. and whole fleody fame can forever repel your vain attacks ifl.

When we trace his conduft in its various confequcnces and probable refults, wc can with difficulty believe that fuch infa my could exift in the bread of a human being. Had he preyed only on the property of thole who cculd not have been mate rially affefted by U, the public fyrnpaihy would have been lefs exqurfite and extenfive.

It is now time that a fatal Mow fbould be given to the fpint of fraudulent fpeculation, which has, in many indarces, been crowned w’lth fuch fuccefs a* mongd us, that Europeans have imagined we have reduced it fo a fcience. In order to accomplifh this defirable «rd our laws rela tive to bankruptcy and (wind ling fbould undergo further revi fion and corretTon ; that we may the better didinguifb the unhappy debtor from the defin ing /peculator. And thofe who refit on the duties to fociety, and w ho are zealous for rational rclpeQrtbility, fbould rather fa rrificc their lives, than place in the legiflativc councils, charaft ers of bladed reputation, how ever eminent their talents may be for political intrigue.
