Gazette Of The United States

The enemies of the federal government look with concern on the re-election of so many of the old representatives. This circumstance evinces not only that the people are well satisfied with the proceedings of the past sessions of Congress, but that their attachment to the federal government itself increases. Why indeed should it not? A government which is the admiration of the whole world; which has given a new face to our affairs; has effected the resurrection of our national credit; restored our finances to system, and which has already raised the character of this country into high estimation, should be expected to acquire more than the bare approbation of the happy inhabitants who participate of its benign influence. It is with pleasure therefore we learn, that a great proportion of the gentlemen who represented the United States in the first congress under the new constitution, will act in a similar capacity in the second. Their tried abilities afford a good presage that the measures they adopt will contribute to the honor and prosperity of their country.
