No element of prosperity and advantage is wanting to our position, and we can soon take the step up to the throne :Lof the world's money power. 'Xt.?- :'.2 V,! Bui in order to do, -this safely, we roust first emulate the virtues of our forefathers. We must throw the tea overboard in the same spirit of ..patriotic self denial which ." they exercised. We must learn to cut off : the demand for foreign luxuries and super fluities, we must sell more than we buy, we must keep out of debt, and thus preserve .. ourselves i from unnecessary dependence upon . other nations. To secure this much " to be desired position, it is plain, that the first' effort must . begio with the masses, in the village, in te home circle. Self deni . Yal and economy "there will beget the same virtues in every department,and a few years will enable us to realize the independence , h'df America.

The .Legislature is then", importuned to gram . v them a ferry privilege, and to permit them to expend their funds first upon the estab lishment of the ferry. This obtained, they make a sham commencement of ; the Rail . Road, sell out their lota upon its reputation. k set the ferry in. operation, drop the Rail Road, and leave the lot holders to weep over then: inaccessible property. ; The fer-i ry is good enougU for the confidence ''men'.. ;r : Punning Judges used to be frequent in v.; the history of JEngland's Jurisprudence. ; We have but few on our record.
