The vacant lands are a favorite object to Maryland."-James Madison, on the plan for a general revenue, 1783.

"There is nothing which binds one country or one State to another but interest."-George Washington, on the Potomac Company, 1785.

"There is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperit and felicity."-Washington, Inaugural Address, 1789.
