X t or th difofit ion of the vacant

to be two leading objects of confidei aii

The fprsRer, as an operation of finance,
claims primary attention; the latter is
important, as il relates; to the fatisfac
tion of the inhabitants cf the weiiera
cousitrr. Jt is dcfirablc,; and dots not
appear impracticable, to conciiiate both.
Purchalers may be ccnteniplitcd in
