The principal difficulties which obftru6ted the adoption of the federal conftitution have been happily over come , the prejudice and fufpicion that uere awakened by the appearance of that fyftem, have been gradually lulled, and we can no longer doubt that all thofc dates which have been fuccefs- fully allied to obtain the independence of America, will again be united in that bed means of giving drength, dignity, and dability to the national character.

And while the fovereigns of Europe arc fuffering all the cala mities of an extenfive war, it mud yield a laudable fatisfaftion to every patri otic mind.that we enjoy the profitable opportunity of improving the great ad vantages thafTic before us. “ Impreflcd with thefe fentiments, we arc ready to declare, that in every a6l that can promote the welfare of the Union, or the intcreds of this date, we fliall, in the manner mod be neficial to the gublic, mod cheerfully cxercifc that jurifdidfion which the conditution has confided to us ; and as we diall be felicitous on every oc- cafion to concur in thedefigns, and to advance the intentions of the Icgilla- turc, we trad that the harmony of our proc”eedings would produce an additi onal confidence in our conditucnis, and give a proper energy to the admi- nidration of the public affairs.’* Bowen & Howard, Have for Sale at their Office, near the Marker, W RITING Paper, by the Ream or fingle Quire, Blank Account Books, The Chorider’s Companion, contain ing the neceffary Rules of pfalmody, a choice coiledion of Pfalm Tunes, Hymns, and Anthems.
