rfew jersey, is pronung oy me experience
of some of tier sister State. She ha not
suffered from the pressure of a public
debt.
When the States now labouring under
onerous burdens of indebtedness shall
have extricated themselves from their
embarrassments, it ia likely that the lesson
which thev will have learned will not be
J soon forgotten. To some of them the
remembrance of their-difficulties will bean
honest pride because of. the honorable
manner in which they were , met and
overcome. Othera will not have this en
hanccd feeling of self-respect; but will,
be obliged to remember with humiliation"
that they were unequal to the maintenance
of their honour, when pecuniary sacrifices
of no distressing magnitude might have
preserved it. -
The New Jersey Convention which has,
amended the coastituton ofat State was
elected by union tickets made up from bath
