Correrpondent obferves, that

the
rifinff
Uii ucd Stijites mu ft animate the bo-
Ibm of every citizen: that conftitu-
tion which was formed by the labour
of vvifdom, being cordially adopted,®
we have every realon to hope for the
accompiilhmcnt of our rational willi
es ; trade will flourifti, the farmer find
a market for his produce, and induftry
a reward ; the patriot who loaned his
money to his country in diftrefs, will
receive payment ; and the public debt
contintally IciTcning by the fale of
lands, will become light and cafy, and
of ftiort duration; even the circulation
of the intereft may become a national
blelfiing, by increafing the means for
commerce. The rapid rife of conti
nental fecorltics, among foreigners as
well as our own citizens, is a proof of
the juftnefs of thefe ideas; and the rife
v/ill incrcaie in rapidity as the new go
vernment draws nearer. It is a well
known fad, that the public fccurities
of Britain fell above FIFTY PER
CENT, higher than ours, notwith-
flanding her debt iffo enormous, and
«ur intereft higher than her’s ; hut as
this ha? been owing to want of na
tional government, it cannot remain fo
long ; therefore do not let our honeft
citizens fell their continental fecurities
for a long, to hawk-eyed foreigners,
or to our own fpeculators. Now, now
is the time to hold faft your property
in the American funds ; they have in
a fliort time rifen to forty per cent.
