" FOR fUE WKSTKHV CAIIOLIMAX.
Messrs. Printers: In my fofmer essay,
I. endeavored to maintain .that any attempt to
-"relieve the -present prcgures by legislative
provision, allhough . it might not violate the
constitution, .has no recommendation from its
expediency.
It ts.a very important inouirv
whether any thine, and if any thimr, what
can be done to relieve the country . from the
distresses every where visible.
Before I enter upon the consideration of
thos"e remedies, whatever they may be, that
present themselves to my mind, it may be
proper to inquire a little into the causes that
- hawletl us TO -tfu'r ji esent "situation I ; an as .
Providence Has cast my lot in a Wain, not in
a cottongrowipg section of the country; and
; f as my views are mostly the result fef absent?
, mie. in my. own Vicinity, you will . not j
ne surprisea to una my remarks mostly ot a
local complexion, though some qf tliem, per
haps, may be extended a little.
A honry veteran has remarked, that the
close of every war in which America has
been engaged, has produced extraordinary
. convulsions and distresses in pecuniary mat
ters. Admittinfc; the truth of his experience
" and .observation, one is naturaiiv led to con-
dlude that such Uniform consequences jrefeuitJ
irom causes bottomed on the character of the
is.i: orc:!;cr discover Cu: ; .rtjc al.xr tt.nt of
)iir national cliaracter which produces t!is
result. A backwoodsman mutt be co;;tvnt in

At'lhs conclusion of the war, tobnreo and
cotton were sought with avidity, and friers
vere mlir.ed for them by the planters exetc
dingtheirmQstwngttinccipectaltons. While
this continued, the culture of those articles
more jmmJdialely connected with lubsittcnce,
was greatly neglected tn those districts which
produced 'the fovbrite exports: Hence the

Cii?olin:r ntfdGcorgla.ft liwith "muctrhe
itancy that I venture a conjecture on what it
was that occasioned the high prices of pro
dure at the period alluded to. I nuppose
ime articles
and that it was some years before the quan
tity sent to market was suflicicnt for the con
Mimption. In, addition, a Bills of KxcKan'ge.
on Kngland could not be purchased without a
high premium, and as the precious metals
were mostly in the banks, so that considera
ble Quantities of them could not be obtained,
I suppose that merchants, intending to make
remittances, were induced to make them in
produce whenever there wai any hope of re
alizing their cost and charges : even a small
loss sustained in that way, onldbcno worse
than in either of the other, lint the markets
in Kuroj)c Incoming overstocked, in process
f time, cotton and tobacco fell . and horses,
beef and pork fell with them. Now whether
this were foreseen by the wise ones or not, I
am not able to say. It is certain that but fr
were actuated by thci guarded" conduct 6Uch
a foresight ought to have suggested.
In this period, the banks appeared every
where willing to .ircommodatc, and the spec
ulations in European goods and various other
things, seemed to invite men of business,
whether they lnd capU.il or not, to wealth
and to hr.ppiness. Ai d perhaps the most sa
gaJous could not perceive their danger Lit
tle did they suspect, that by the time they
could well open their gosds, hosts of pedlers,
.V.mishcu from the vendue stores in New
York and Philadelphia, would visit every
house and every hamlet, however obscure,
and. furnish the persons to whom they expec
ted to sell, at prices below what their goods
had cost them at the regular houses. There
was but one way to counterbalance this un
expected blow ; it was to sell their goods on
n credit, which the pedlers,'in", general, could
not do. The consequence is obvious : those
uho had purchased their goods by the assis
tance of the banks, found it difficult to make
navment of the customary instalments. In
the meantime1the United States Bank going
into operation, sat like an incubus on the lo
cal banks, and paralized their operations, com
pelling them to curtail their business, or re
deem their notes : The effect has been truly
distressing.
I have thus attempted to trace the progress
of the disease ; let us now, for a few moments,
consider the remedy. And here this ques
tion meets us at every turn : Will the banks
relieve the country? We had better ask,
Can the banks extend any further assistance,
except in the way of indulgence to their debt
ors ? I have no knowledge of the banking
business, except what is sometimes published ;
Dut I should think, if circumstances permit
ted, that the interest of the banks would in
cline them to put out their notes w henever
they could do it with safety. ; . and -as they
have made no loans for a long time, we must
believe that imperious circumstances prevent
them. What; then, is to be done ? Let ev
ery man answer the question by adopting a
plan the reverse 61 that which has brought
us to the present crisis. Let retrenchment

14 The English love their wives with much
pacsion ; the Hollanders with much prudence.
The English, when they give tlirir hands, fre
quently give their hearts ; the Dutch, give the
hand but keep the heart wisely in their pos
session. The English love with violence
and expect lov in return ; the Dutch are sat
isfied with the slightest acknowledgments, tor
they give little away. The English expend
many of the matrimonial comforts in the first
year; the Dutch frugally husband out their
pleasures, and are always constant, because
they are always indifferent.
" There seems verv little difference between
0
a Dutch bridegroom and a Dutch husband :
both are equally possessed of the same cool
unexpecting serenity ; they sec neither elysi
um nor paradise behind the curtain ; and ifijf
row is not more a goddess on the wedding
night, than after twenty years matrimonial ac
quaintance. On the other hand, many of the
English marry in order to keep one happy
month in their lives ; they seem incapable of
looking beyond that period ; they unite in
hopes of finding rapture, and, disappointed in
that, disdain even to accept of happiness.
From hence wc see open hatred ensue ; or,
what is worse, concealed disgust, under the
appearance of fulsome endearment. Much
formality, great civility, and studied compli
ments exhibited in public, cross looks, sullen
silence, or open recrimination, fill up their
hours of private entertainment.
44 Hence I am taught, whenever I see n
new married couple more than ordinarily fond
before faces, to consider them as attempting
to impose upon the company or themselves ;
either hating each other heartily, or consum
ing that stock of love in the beginning of their
course, which should serve them through the
whole journey. Neither side, should expect
those instances of kindness, which are incon
sistent with true freedom or happiness to be
stow. Love, when founded in the heart, will
show itself in a thousand unpremeditated sal
lies of fondness ; but every cool deliberate
exhibition of the passion, only argues little
understanding, or great insincerity.
44 Of all nations the Russians behave the
most wisely in the circumstance of jealousy.
The wife promises her husband never to let
him see her transgressions Ind he as ptinc:
tuaTlypromises, whenever sheiis. detected,
without the least anger, to beat her without
mercy; so they both know what each has to
expect. - The lady transgresses, is beaten, ta
ken again into favour, and all goes on TaT be
fore. When a Russian young lady is to be
married heriather with a cudgelin his hand,
asks the bridegroom, whether he chuses this
virgin for his bride? to whiclt.the other re
plies in, the affirmative. Upon which the fa

better thanhe docs, insists upon his acceptance.
Upon this" there follows a scene of Hussian
politeness, while one offers and the other re
fuses the cudgel. The whole, however, ends
with the bridegroom's taking it, upon which
the lady, drops a courtesy in token of obe
dience, and the ceremony proceeds as usual.

The (blowing Extract from 4L7Xe Uhcrty qf ,
Prifihreytngf by Bishop Taylor, displays the
Chiisi'.an candour and liberality which ever ap
pear in the writings of that eminent prelate.
The beautiful story with which it concludes, or
something very like it, has been incorrectly
Htlrihuted by some injudicious friend, to Dr.
Frahklin ; whose fame, most certainly, does
not require the aid of such a borrowed plume.
" Men are now a-daya, nnd indeed always have
been, since the expiration of the first blessed
rtges of Christianity, to in love with their own
fjneies and opinions, as to think f.utl, and all .
Christendom, are concerned in their support and
maintenance ; whoever is not so lop,. and, does
not dandle themf like, thenuelves, it grovrsjup .
to a quarrel ; which; because it is in Diilhity, is
made a quarrel in religion, and God is entitled
to it ; and then, if you are once thought an ene- v
my to God, it is our duty to persecute you even J,
to death ; we do God good, service in it. : When, u.
ifwc should examine the matter rightly, the
question either is not revealed, or not so clearly,
but that wise and honest men may be of differ"
ent minds, or else it is not of the foundation of
faith, but a remold superstructure, or else of
mere speculation ; or, perhaps, when all comes
to alb it is a false opinion, or a matter, of hu
nun interest, that we have so zealously conten
ded for ; for to one of these heads most of the
disputes of Christendom may be reduced ; so
that I believe the present factions (for the most)
are from the same cause which St. Paul observ
ed in the Corinthian schism, when there are divi
kiott among are ye not carnal It is not the
xliffering opinions that are the cause of the present
ruptuies, but want of charity ; his not the va
riety of understandings, but the disunion of wills
and nffections ; it is not the several principles,
but the several ends that cause our miseries ,
our opinions commence, and are upheld, accord
ing as our turns a reserved and our interest pre- -served
; and there is'o cure for us but flirty and
charity. A holy life will make our belief holy ;
