The execution of these maxims be- iimgs to y4jur j-^pres eiitatiy.es ; but it i$ ne- 25 cessary that public opinion should co-operate.
To facilitate to them the performance of their duty, it is essential that you should practical- ly bear in mind that towards the payment of debts there must be revenue ; that to have revenue there must be taxes ; that no taxes can be devised which are not more or less in- convenient and unpleasant ; that the intrin- sic embarrassment inseparable from the se- lec
...tion of the proper objects, (which is always a choiceof difficulties,) ought to be a decisive motive for a candid construction of the con- duct of the government in making it, and for a spirit of acquiescence in the measures for obtaining revenue which the public exigen- cies may at any time dictate.
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all : religion and morality enjoin this conduct ; and can it be that good policy does not equally en- join it ? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.-— Who can doubt that in the course of time -and c things the fruits of such a plan would richly fepay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ?
