Full Text

A correspondent observes, that those who find an interest in exciting disturbances are very few compared with the great body of the people : but violence sometimes supplies the place of numbers and the many innocent suffer for the few. There is therefore, much magnanimity in the determination of government to forbear raising a military force until the people have time to declare themselves, and shew their resolution to support the laws. If every man would now speak out his real sentiments there would be very few found to approve the late opposition to the laws. It cannot be supported without a separation from the United States--a thing that could not be effected, and if it could, it would enfeeble and ruin the Western Country.
