When the People petitioned for a na[tion]al bank, I would use my best endeavors to have their prayers answered, and [esta]blish one on national principles to save taxes, and make them the controlle[rs] of its ways and means; and when the People petitioned to possess the Territory of , or any other contiguous territory; I would lend the influence of a Ch[ief] Magistrate to grant so reasonable a request, that they might extend the mighty efforts and enterprize of a free people from the East to the West Sea; and make the wilderness blossom as the Rose: and when a neighboring realm petitioned to join the of the Sons of Liberty, my voice would be come: yea c[om]e ; come ; come ; and come all the world— let us be b[re]thren: let us be one great family: and let there be an universal peace; Abolish the cruel customs of Prisons, <​except certain cases,​> Penetentiaries, Court Martials for desertion; and let reason and friendship reign over the ruins of ignorance and barbarity: yea I wou[l]d, as the universal friend of Man, open the prisons; open the eyes; open the ears; and open the hearts of all people, to behold and enjoy freedom, unadulterated freedom: and God, who once cleansed the violence of the Earth with a flood; whose Son laid down his life for the Salvation of all his father gave him out of the world; and who has promised that he will come and purify the world again with fire in the last days, should be supplicated by me for the good of all people.
