A most noble spirit of emulation is discovering itself in the several states—well endowed colleges, and other seminaries of learning are springing up, upon liberal and enlightened plans—medical and other societies are forming to extend the blessings of useful professions, and extenuate the inevitable miseries of human life—while the principles of benevolence are exciting the sons of clemency and compassion, to devise the most feasible methods to extinguish every vestige of tyranny and slavery from off the face of the earth.—Our mechanicks and artizans are forming into companies to enable them more effectually to promote their general interest.—Our merchants encouraged by the protection of the laws and a uniform system of revenue, are extending their enterprizes to all quarters of the globe—while their patriotick associations strengthen the hands of government, and prevent the honest and conscientious traders from being sacrificed by the arts of those who would evade the laws.—To crown the whole, the great American Republic appears to realize its eligible situation, by giving the most indubitable evidence of its growing attachment to that Constitution, which with so much unanimity they have adopted—and which every days experience proves was the great desideratum in their late embarrassed situation.
"United here, and realiz'd we see,
Laws, Independence, Liberty!
The triple chord which binds all fast,
Like the golden chain of Jove,
Combining all below, with all above,
To make the sacred union last."
