[verso] {..} defect of the sun's light. Several satellites or moons revolve around them in different spaces of time, so that there is no time, night nor day, in which all the sides of these planets may not enjoy the light of some of the moons. The earth has but one moon, from which it receives numberless advantages; but Jupiter has four and Saturn Seven; which seems calculated to give light to the inhabitants supposed to reside on it. But, though the planets may be fit for habitation, it will, perhaps, seem difficult to some to conceive how any beings could exist on the comets, which approach so near the sun at one time, and then recede such an astounding space from him, as they certainly do, at another. But I do not see why they may not be fit for habitation. For the tail of a comet appears to be its atmosphere; which at is perihelion, is so rarified, that the stars are visible through them,

[recto] hope for better times, which never arrive; and pass their whole lives, without pursuing any resolute course of action, or accomplishing any business, which might contribute to hasten the happy times they expect. Others place too much confidence in themselves, and from a vigorous exertion of their abilities, expect more success than generally attends the most fortunate adventures. They are sensible that many obstacles obstruct their way; yet hoping that fortune will favor them, and remove the difficulties, they undertake greater schemes than dilligence (sic) or ambition can perform: And though their labor may be of service to posterity, they find themselves worn out with toils and hardships before the happy period arrives, or their favorite schemes are brought to perfection.

But when they recede from the sun, the atmosphere grows more dense; and it is probable, that when at the greatest distance from the sun, it grows so condensed round the body of the planet, that there may be sufficient quantities

And having myself heard several exclaiming bitterly against a habit, which they are pleased to call a vice, I thought I would write to you on this subject, to encourage you to persevere

May he, whose actions merit our most cordial approbation, receive the highest encomiums of the present age; and his name be transmitted through the innumerable ages of future time, to the remotest posterity. But while we look back with joy on the happy day, the birth of our empire, let us remember that it will continue to flourish no longer, than while its laws and original principles are religiously attended to, and strictly observed. Let us consider that Agriculture is the foundation of every trade, and without which our independence would soon vanish into air. Let us cultivate habits of industry and frugality. Let us never employ the riches of our soil, in purchasing foreign luxurious and superfluities. Let us encourage Manufacturers commerce, and every art, which has a tendency to increase the wealth and

[Page] 27 enkindled in America illuminates the political horizon of Europe; and mighty efforts in vain are endeavoring to extinguish it. In vain they attempt to crush the empire of freedom, and to check the progress of liberty, when reason and virtue oppose the plan. This day enkindled the first flame of liberty, and nineteen revolving years have added to its splendor. This day was laid the foundation of a constitution, which secures to these states, the eight privileges \and blessings/ of a free and virtuous people; and which will ever be admired for the political wisdom in its construction. Americans! This day let us celebrate the actions, and recount the virtues of that Patriotic assembly, who conducted the citizens in the arduous struggle for liberty and independence. Let us never forget those patriots who died in defense of their country. And may these surviving heroes, who asserted, and still maintains the freedom of these states, be this day honored, on the saviors and defenders of

[recto] seemed to darken the world with its horrors; when civil and religious liberty were abused, and when slavery reigned universally through the old world: at this time the eyes of a few, friends to liberty, were opened. Deprived of Freedom in their native land, they fled from it to the uncultured regions of this new world: choosing rather to undergo the hardships and fatigues of the wilderness, than to submit to slavery, though disguised in its most alluring forms. Here they cultivated the barren soil, and defended their hard—earned possessions from tyranny and oppression. Favored by the blessings of peace and freedom, their wealth increased; and in a short space of time, they raised themselves to a degree of eminence, equal to many of the European nations. But the British parliament viewed the increasing opulence of the American colonies, with jealousy and envy. Instead of rejoicing at their prosperity, they endeavored to oppress

Commission on executive, legislative and judicial salaries: A historical summary
Date
1987
Summary
The Commission on Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Salaries is activated every four years for the purpose of studying the compensation available to top officials of the U.S. Government. The enabling legislation for this Commission has been substantially amended several times. This report provides a topical history of the Commission. It discusses the responsibilities of the Commission, the President, and the Congress. Membership, funding, and staff support are also discussed. The closing section of the report contains tables showing various Commission's recommendations, those of the President, and the disposition of the Presidential recommendations. The five tables at the end of the report present the following salary rate data: 1) salary in effect when Commission met; 2) Commission salary recommendations; 3) President's salary recommendations; and 4) information on whether the President's recommendations went into effect. [N.B. No summary is provided for this report because it is not conducive to being succinctly or usefully summarized.] For companion CRS reports see: Paul E. Dwyer and Frederick H. Pauls, A Brief History of Congressional Pay, CRS Report No., 86-1022 GOV, November 24, 1986 and, by the same authors, A Brief Report on Congressional Pay, CRS Report 86-1051 GOV, December 29, 1986; CRS Report 86-1004 GOV, Rate of Increase of Selected Public and Private Wages and Public Pensions Compared with Change in Consumer Price Index, 1969-1987, by Frederick H.
