Compai'isons, or at all events a person 

 broaching them would have been branded 

 with the namesof'croaker or Jacobin, but 

 fortunately for the world this scare-crow 

 hydra has lost its charm, and without 

 presuming to construe the unavoidable 

 errors or misfortunes of late times into 

 blame to any party, we hail the time now 

 approaching when the system of warfare 

 will be changed for that of internal and 

 domestic improvement ; and when those, 

 as I before observed, who can point out 

 deficiencies in order to guard against 

 their pernicious results, may without 

 blame make them known. 



It is not the bad system of growing 

 apple trees alone that requires better ma- 

 nagement, we have others equally hurt- 

 ful in their consequences which call for 

 amendment, and the time is come 

 when we may hope to see these things 

 properly conducted, and mankind taught 

 to tread those paths which are best 

 suited to their respective pursuits.
