While We Assert For Ourselves A Freedom

The Payments Which Have Been Made Into The Treasury Show The Very Productive State Of The Public Revenue.

National Honor Is National Property Of The Highest Value.

We Must Support Our Rights Or Lose Our Character, And With It, Perhaps, Our Liberties.

You Are Considered By Them As Not Only Having Rendered Important Service In Our Own Revolution, But As Being, On A More Extended Scale, The Friend Of Human Rights, And Able Advocate Of Public Liberty. To The Welfare Of Thomas Paine, The Americas Are Not, Nor Can They Be, Indifferent.

At No Period Of Our Political Existence Had We So Much Cause To Felicitate Ourselves At The Prosperous And Happy Condition Of Our Country.
