would rejoice under the protection of the law, and the more 

 daring and adventurous would feel little temptation to trans- 

 gress its boundaries. The present code of excise laws, at which 

 the most resolute shrink back with disgust, and which cause 

 the more serious to heave a sigh at the inroads they are mak-

 of the jurisprudence of the English constitution. The wise po- 

 litician would feel no anxiety at the prosperity of any neigh- 

 bouring state : the more they cultivated the natural production 

 of their soil or climate, and the higher degree of perfection 

 lo which they brought some branches of manufactory, — on 

 the more easy terms could his people be supplied ; and as they 

 increased in riches, so nmch the more would be the demand 

 for the natural productions of his country, as well as for all 

 the articles of manufactory in which his people might ex- 

 cel. Pursuing this plan, every nation would see its true 

 greatness and real riches so connected with that of others, 

 that it could not hurt another without the greatest injury 

 to itself. Jealousy and envy would find no place in the 

 human heartj trade would be found only in its infancy; its 

 extension, 1 am persuaded, would be far more than we are 

 apt to conceive J and peace might continue to bless the 

 world. 



But I must here suppress my feelings, as my design is only 

 to use fair reasonings, and to draw just conclusions.
