For thi GA/.ETTE oj the UNITED STATES.
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-

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. The majority Sifo"we're
for fundings though rrot on the idea of difcri
mi Dating. Who would have thought 1 jrbat
the party would A> fpon have clamoured a
gasbft a funded debt, a rrioricd inftnence,
aT- e-afnrv department, sm9 a dozen other
which if is rfow tf>e canting Habit ct
this party to ccnfure ? This, however, is'
the pretext, and fa£tioji is
tempting to oppose and embarrass all the mea
sures of jlongrefs—and threatening their ab
olshon and repcaVa't tHe fUlxl session. This
Ihort vieVr of their proceedings wjll fhe*V tttat

own l cotxfi»& whfin Hiofc systems palled, nor
by tlje public fentuneats at that period.—
THeV pretend to refpe<sttlie sense of the peo
ple—Yet Congress is called a buhch of knaves
for obeying it. The fund n'g of the debt was
forefeen and not a corner of the union in
which this expe&afion and the grounds of it
were not made known many months, before
the act pa (Ted. Not a man in the woods or
out of them who did pot fee or hear of the
effe&s of thiy expected provision ; for the cer
tified! tes rose excefHvely in Sept. 17&9, aim oft
3 ye* rbe ford. the, funding act pafled. 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. The few will
judge whether the party who are now moving
heaven and earth agsipft the government of
our country, and who'e ho;>es of filccefs are
Chiefly placed mi deceiving and enfla'ning—
are not bojjnd to anl'wer lor all the lulfes and
relf"ntnie,Tt« which have been the consequen
ces of (he delay of the funding law and of the
grofi ?nd proflgate milreprefentatinns which
have taken place fin<*4 its pa/sage.
