The commercial body will unite for the repeal of the embargo : the inconvenience of it must be very ^ generally felt , but there may be a sufficient number to judge of its advantages over the horrors of war .
Jn fact the question is a most important one , and it will be discussed with all the warmth that various interests cap excite . Will the still voice of wisdom We heard in such a tumult of contending parties ? The voice of thy brother ' s blood crieth to me from the earth , was the solemn sound , uttered on the first murder perpetrated in the world . What was the occasion of that murder ? and
