reiributed them, for the most part, in
works of internal improVement; which are
destined to.prove of vast importance in ul
timately advancing their prosperity and
wealth.. For the debts thus contracted; the

one or more of the Stata — may neglect
.
to provide with punctuality the means
of redeeming their-engagements. .Eveh
such States, should there be any, • chn
sidering the great rapidity 'with which
their resources are developing themselves,
will not fail to have the means, at no very

the uttermost farthing; nor will I doubt-but
that in view of that honorable' condUct
