than 5 ogto aggregate in six months d390000 who that is acquainted with the pre sent state of baltimore will say that this calculation is extravagant we believe it is very moderate and here we see that in a mere pecuniary point of view we shall lose more in six months by hc uant of employ than this city has made in any year by its boasted commerce for several years past further how much shall we suffer by the depreciation of moral character how much by depopulation caused by poveity and wretchedness how mueh by the dispersion of classes of people the most useful of all to increase the na tional wealth and ive life to business by circulating money which it may be said they can create eve ry thing flags and must flag when the laboring capacity of a country is unproductive we are
