ment in the circumstances ol the people, i Conviction was impressed upon oeutois that personal exertion alone could s..e tiiein from embarrassmtnt. Anincieascd degiee of industry ai.u economy was the natural consequence of such an opinion. ! i These claus as they were not only ne- j ! cessary, for the regulation of imeicourse ! j between state and state, and the citizei.s j ; ot each, to piecnt the misiin(leistant1ings !

tution of each state. hat was it to the state of Vermont, if Georgia should pass "an espost facto law or bill of attainder, which could operate onl uponth.se vvi i. in her own tenitoty ! The restriction was imposed upon Georgia, not for the sake of the people of Vermont, but for the benefit of Georgia, and for fear ot tin

.tyranny which her own legislaiuie, nt

some iuiuie ume, might be tempted tr. exercise. A law. impairing the obtiga ion ot contracts, as it was equally injurious to citizens ol the same state, as u foreigners and citizens of other states, is equally prohibited as to all, and is not restricts c of state legislation only so far as regards citizens of other states. The constitutions of the several states had k f the power unlimited in ther state Icgisla tures. The frameis of the Fc cialcon stinuion In lieved it to be of iudispcnsabU importance not to leave this power ai i longer in the hands of the state Ic-ibla ' tures. Expeiicnce had demonstrated tin baneful effects of is cxcicisc. T known disposition of man excluded th. hopj, that it would not be i sed lor th sa'iie pernicious purposes in future. Up der the smart of t is experience. aur, were the feelings of th? American pec.', pta at the time, still stifle! ing under rc pelted emissions of clepr ciated paper th.tt i tot a voice was raised ngninst t?-. clau ,r before us No state required it tr bo expunged, nor did any stae propos an amendment It was universaPv received without an exception, on l tlictf fects of the . tauses themselves weic ni racuions. P.ihiic und prvatc cnnfi'lfiic took !ec! root. The nconlr of A

'.vcie rcinstrded in the iidmiratirn ()f tl r world The prt cious iiutals flowed 'v. upon them. Taper money suddi nJv stnj in its c.reer of depreciation, and f ok a stand from which it neve r departed, in-du-try revived univrrsa'l ; and tons in Vmerica was given a notable proof. Uint when'.er a nation is viituousard honest, it wiil prosper boih in wealth and ha: c!er, and that whenever a contraiy cours" is pursued, such is the wise decree of P ovidence,that prosperity of either kind wi'l not long follow in her train. Do these acts of our Icgisla'.utc revive any of the recited mischiefs ? If they ae valid, what is there to distinguish our prcs nt situation from that which preceded the Federal constitution ? Can nur legislature emit paper money and give credi' to it by promising redemption bv taxes and public pioperty. Will not Mich mo noy depreciate ? Cannot the legislature to everv real purpose, make it a tender ?
