Bankruptcy probable
It is now I flatter myself sufficiently understood
Understanding that the suffering which would ensue be
the result in the event of a National Bankruptcy im-
be nothing more than what we are acquainted with
by experience — nothing but those which we have been familiarized
with, nothing but what has even been equally
the result and in an equal degree the result of a state of unexampled affluence,
we are already prepared to consider with less anxiety
with more temper — and more at our ease
with a judgment less disturbed — with a better
command over our judgment judicial faculties as well as our affections
to meet the question what the probability
is of its befalling us, and if it be likely to befall
us within what period of time may it be most
likely to befal us.

This is one proof among so many of what in
a nation of letters may be done by letters. To
preserve the nation from Bankruptcy may not
be in the power of the ablest Minister: — to deprive
Bankruptcy of its sting may is no more
than may have been effected by a single individual: —
by so inconsiderable an individual as
the obscure and unknown author of these pages.

This is already no small inconsiderable point gained. We are
