Observations

The proposition is of the interrogative kind
and as such is pretty certainly not assailable
by in any regular direct mode of attack, by the imputation
of error. The question when construed
into the allegation implied with it must however
be construed I should suppose into some
such proposition as the following: viz: that it is
inconsistent with justice for the legislature to take
any measure the effect of which would be to
debar the farmer from any price howsoever
high soever, which he might have obtained have been confident of obtaining
had it not been the measure: and that whatever
may have been the expectation if any the
Farmer (any Farmer) on this score, it would not
be consistent with justice for the legisature no legislative
measure which should have in any degree the
effect of disappointing it would be reconciliable
with the rules principles of justice.
