[The following well-wrote sensible piece, taken from the
Pennsylvania Ledger of March 18. . . 6 more lines, then] The
Congress have undertaken the weighty task of waging war with
Great Britain. War is rather an expensive amusement; yet
our gallant adventurers, like a set of giddy mad-caps,
entered the dance without money to pay the piper. However,
as they were determined not to baulk their fancy, they
undertook to crate what they could not otherwise supply, and
to keep up the ball with droll kind of money, whech they
call continental dollars!. . . [Piece continues for 2 more
columns. Dance metaphor ends here. Signed] Pacificus.
