It is an object of the greatest importance, that an uninterrupted series of federal sentiments should be disseminated through the American nation— Our political connection with each other becomes daily more intimate and interesting: this will, in time assimilate our minds, our habits, our manners, our objects, till we become one great People, cemented by national ideas, national spirit, and national glory.
Never since the formation of government and civil society, were the great body of a people, so universally solicitous and engaged about these important subjects, as the citizens of the United States, at the present moment.—Every ear is open! every mind is full! surely as the great Mr. Adams said of the American war—“If ever there was a Government of the People, this is the government.”
The great objects which have arrested the attention of our country since the Constitution came upon the carpet, seem to have called up the most latent and astonishing powers of the human mind, which have discovered themselves in a great variety of instances in Processions—Publications—Inventions of Machines—Military Improvements and Mechanical Excellences.
