1 FtOM the CONNECTICUT MtRHOH.
Afteb an emfity session of fopr moMbs,
Congress are now in a harry to adjourn
and leave the affairs of the country where
they found them. Mr. Smilie, the Irish
Representative from Pennsylvania, no doubt
expressed the sentiments of the adminis
tration, a few days since, when he remark
ed, that, at firetent they did not Jtnow
what otefu to take. Pressed by the mis
chievous effects of the Jeffersonian policy
dt home, and by the confused state of things*
in ffwrqpe, they stead with eyes agng, and
with quaking hearts, to learn what Great-
Britain will do, on the one hand, and what
will do on the other. At'Wne,
tt* admihistratlan meet with an eßgfe
PffldMed enUrelr by the
toua, the ruinous policy of destnfffng Com
merce. The embargo and non-intercourse
system originated from two gourdes, both
of which have been fruitful in the produc
tion of mischief to our country. The first
is the ancient hostility of Virginia to the
commercial States; the other, is the strorfg
attachment to and the dread of Bonaparte,
which the Jeffersonians feel.
Virginia h hostile to the commercial
states, because the wealth, power, and in
ftuence which commerce gives to those
parts of the country where it flourishes, il
unmanageable. The predominance which
that State has gained in our national con
cerns, she does not intend to resign. The
office of President is considered already as
hereditary in that State; and as long as the
eastern and northern States will place the
affairs of the nation in the hands of such
men as Varnum, Seaver, Bacon, Stephen
Rowe. Bradley, Jonathan Robins, Peter B.
Porter, and Erastu* Root, it will ever re
main so. And it would not be at all sur
prising if Mr. Giles, being sure of the sup
port of these men whenever he chooses to
demand it, and who must be considered as
little bette? than betrayers of the best pub
iick interests of the States to which they
belong, should order the next Presidential
Caucus to meet two yeare before the elec
tion takes place. The Virginians under
stand perfectly well the meaning of the
tiarfy the forefoot" The
democratick members of Congress from
the eastern States, are among the most
Mgrandi*i< vXwa of
| that state, and wifi cheerfully, /and almost
' without asking, sacrifice the interests of
1 their own constituents, at the shrine of her
ambition.
By some documents in our paper this
day, our feeders will find a striking com
mentary on the M reetrictive eyetem." Mr.
Jefferson set out upon the wise and philan
thropic! plan of starving Great-Britain in
to submission. He appeared to feel, as if
our trade alone supported that powerful
nation. Qn this text he preached; and
what is moijc unfortunate, upon it lie also
practised. I’he effects stare us in the face.
Even the West-India Islands have already
learned to live without us—Canada and
Nova-Scotia, have commenced a career of
business flourishing and profitable beyond
all former example—the British revenue
exceeds the receipts of all past times—and
the United Statee are beggared—<w trea
sury is empty, and the only cry with our
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, in,lt is letter to Mr. Gallatin, is— in
what way can we beet borrow the eume we
want, and mutt have ? Jn reply to this in
quiry Mr. Gallatin’s language is sufficient
ly discouraging for a nation, which before
tlte adoption of this fatal scheme of starva
tion, was overburdened wish income. He
says, indeed, there are varioue tnodee of
borrowing mosry—and a man qf much left
significance thau the Secretary of the Trea
sury, qould have found out that fact. But,
in glvjng the various his plan for

Tlx refusal of the President to enmmur

otherwise, since the akWrhat Mr. Jfecfc

the evidence of disgraceful management
and misrepresentation being at work. Mr.
