XTOTtyITHSTANDING there was con i.N- fiderable oppofiliou to the adoption of the conllitotion, the measures of the new go vernment were nqt only peaceably acquiesced in by fiie, people,, but tlie former enemies as wel! as the si iend-, of the federal canfe joined in rejoicing in its prosperous administration. To revive trade and manufa<Ftures, to give a fefurre&ioo to public credit and such energy and liability to government as would be ade>- quate to the jjeneral good of the people, weiy the common fuhjects of couverfation. All men, not in office, ai)d a'lmoft all in office, whether federal lor antifederal, joined their earned hopes and withes For this auspicious era so important to our nation to be haftdned. Accordingly, Congress made ill baste to ar range the government, and to adopt the mea sures which would have thef» expected good effetffs. The Treasury department was Ar ranged—not a word (Sid against ft'. The pe tition of the public creditors was p efented to the firft Congress praying soT the full and parmaneqt prpvilion of [heir certificrtes.— The Secretary was required to prepare a plan fur this purpose ; All America was informed of this irt all the Gazettes—All America ejt pedted a just and full provision for the debt would be made at the next session of Congress. The creditors exijlted iij the near profpeft of having justice done them- The price of cer tificates rofc very rapidly. The people feern ed to rejoice that the rife would eithir pre vent foreigners engrossing them, or make them pay at anumifually high rate for what they might purchase. During all this period of buttle and expectation, the clamor agaiuft m'onied influence and a funded debt was not heard. So far as the public sense could be colle&ed, it not only permitted but earnestly demanded the adoption of measures to place the publft credit on a firm and honorable ba sis. Political integrity and honesty were urged as the only ground on which public faith could be fecyrelv retted. Not to be te dious on a fubjeft which every man in Ame rica knows to be truly stated as above, it may be aliened, that the lenfe of the people at the time as well as the experience of the anar chy and dilgraceof a feeble confederation, re quired such arrangements as the firft Congress adopted. The repot t of the Secretary on the means of providing for the public credit was made to the firft Congress in their second felfion. The candid pai tof our citizens may be appealed C», whether the firft impressions weie not remarkably favorable to that per- Wednesday, Jux;-: 12, 1795. epi2 w tf *• - " Scarce was tfare iri GopgYefy ©r o*tt, a lnUbie of obje&ian to funding 3t all. Afr cr an < 'inirlous iuipence., the attack was iiKi.de on the pretence of extreme regard for t r e onfrirui holders. It is no Jeer it that the object and the pertain and known coufcanJnce of t ! fafc fcWme of d'tferi mi nation was to (it fe u thr whole provillon for the* d.-bt. Yet! surely fhofe who urged the pagiufcnt* of fix per jent. to the original holders, arid half to the pu r ch;jfing holders by a funding fyftein, '] cannpt pretend to condemn at this time of any funding whatever It was their de clared plan to f\ind.

But wheft the storm of party broke forth in Cou £refs aj;ainft the Secretary's report, the hol der* of certificates became alarmed. Many fold out fupporfng that the debt would not be funded at all, and that it would run down and came to nothing, as the old continental money did. The price funk, ants while the fubjeft remained for fevn al months in total uncertainty, it was a gayie of chance whether the paper would be worth something or no thing. The Southern certificate Holders fold ouOt ivfaid ; -and-a-clamor is against they, the holders fouthof the Potowmac, have fullered loss by felling their paper. Will ant candid Southern main fay, the blame is justly chirgeafcle on that a£f, or on the nien who advocated its passage.. Thole men uniformly and itienuoufly urged its pas sage. T|ie dslay was not their fault, but their misfortune. Thelofers arc to be pitied, but they inuft acknowledge the friends of the funding ai"t would have prevented their loss if'they could. The causes and true history of th£ opporttion tk funding need not be sug gested—but they very unlike the pre texts which have firice been adopted to give a color to their party. The hypocrily of ma ny pretences to republican purity, fimpjicity andjeSloufy, was not then bold enough to raile its cry. Time that unfolds nla ny truths to the deceived and abused mul titude makes them forget the uses to which i{ is to be applied.
