SO WE GO

The storm which has so long been hanging over our heads, appears to be ready to burst and discharge its contents on our defenseless country. Great Britain, after having so long used various means, acting an unjust management of the difficulties between that country and this, we have too much reason to fear, has at last risen in the majesty of her strength and taken a decided stand against us. We learn that the English Parliament are preparing a bill, the object of which is, to exclude American produce from coming into that country or its dependencies. This business, it is a death blow to our mercantile interests; it will effectually sweep commerce from home. Hence we shall only use this alternative left to keep a share at large and entirely abandon. Less credit than to advance the cause and debate the good remarks. On commerce the correct view members alias said every loan. The situation of New York, the first commercial city in the whole, is fast sinking under the accumulated distress. Accumulating upon the city is utterly overwhelming and must end in utter ruin. And interest runs. The last adjournment comes to lines of Four Hundred and Thirty Two petitions. We who are most mainly the especial. The same society, but all in woeful usual. By reduced to poverty and want, and asked to give petitions for the advantage of the land. Want aid of the state, to preserve them from the disgrace of imprisonment. Thus this vile democratic policy, seizes only to impoverish the country and blacken our national reputation. In anything will induce the deluded people at election of the country, look back upon the administration and consider the accumulated distresses which are daily falling upon us, it might be the language of actual misery from the lips of their own countrymen: This language is by no means equivocal; it speaks to the feelings of every American; it bids us beware how we advocate such measures as will distribute those evils over the whole country, which are now severely realized in many of our commercial towns.
