You have heard of the new chemical nomenclature endeavored to be introduced by Lavoisier, Fourcroy, &c. Other chemists of this country, of equal note, reject it, and prove in my opinion that it is premature, insufficient and false. These latter are joined by the British chemists; and upon the whole, I think the new nomenclature will be rejected, after doing more harm than good. There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful.

The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting, with noiseless foot, and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains, is ingulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.

A rising nation, spread over a wide and fruitful Land, traversing all the seas with the rich production of their Industry.

The right of self-government does not comprehend the government of others.

None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.

What is it men cannot be made to believe!
