Dec. 16. America now feels its folly.-
The visionary fabrics of liberty are all fallen, and in their room of the fond delusion, they grasp a substantial wretchedness, which stings them to the very soul. Where is now that trade, in the management of which their ships covered the ocean? Where that internal happiness which made them the envy of the European world? All lost, all gone, without leaving a vestige of their former beauty—Discord and despondency have assumed the seats of plenty and cheerfulness; and they have now but one liberty left them, which is the liberty of complaining.
