' In contemplating the rapid progress of an enlig(i- ' tened. nation to the fummic of public virtue arid je&, have c been performed. The additional infentives which a virtuous mind mud feel for devoting its bed ex ertions to the public welfare, arc too obvious to ] be particularly mentioned ; a d the advantage which r/fult» to society, from a grateful notice of them, i.« univcrfally acknowledge^. Among a people poffefling To extensive privileg es (and those privilegei so wrll secured) —in a na tion also equally enlightened as ours, the danger of exceflive adoration is reduced to a phantom. It canntver be exereiled. No man can look for, or obtain, more than the warm yet rational express ion of the joy and gratitude of the Aaiericin People. Partial ebullitions, illy direfled, will occasion ally occur among every people : But in a country happily situated as ours, thsfe will b* seldom found of \mericans, the result will in the end ba gene rally favorable to tranquility and public virtue. Indulging this idea, we take pleafurein noticing the attention paid by our fellow citizens to the pre sent Chief Magiftrstc of the Union.
