■ following extraft from a lever ■
1 ’ from a’ Member of Congress, from
this State, to hisfriend in this city, dated
Miy r, 1794; contains much <Utter&lip&
matter ;•** . ...
“lAM very. fenCble that,the Southcrti
Stites art not lb very much jnterefiing in
the growth bf American navigation. Na
ture, climate,, habit, manners, and popula
tion ^ave .cqnfpired.to render them onfit ,
for this porfuit. If a CriHcient humber;Qt
vessels aft foiind (6 carry their furpltis pro
duce to market, and they- obtain » good -
price for it, they are tot in this refpea
very much j^ecefted by what nation this
it done/ ' For this realoa, therefore, the
Sou iher n Oates m ight not feel them Wes
inclined to be at any extraordinary expense
tt> defend the navigation j but fuch’ a sur
render would,be ruinous tq New-£ngland.
AU cirqumllances have combined to vender
thibm a maritime people. The ocean is
their WmeOOt-it is their harvest fieid. It
is the duty,of government to protect
interest of every part of the society—it is
thereforeits da y to protect the navigation
of New-England, on which its prosperity
depends, as well is the agriculture of the
Southern ilates. There arc but two ways
of dang this—one by cultivating the
triendfhip of those nations, which having
the grea est maritime force, are mbft capa
ble of insuring us, or. by apowerful mavy.
The drit is the cheapest and most: de Arable
mode—-the last ought however to be reforc
ed to in dale The firft fhobl d not be attain^
ble. A serious question here occurs to me,
whether there be not a danger of 4 fcveo
ance of the Union; unless our navigation
is protc&ed ? Whether the Eastern States
will not, under such circumdances, be o
bliged to seek the friendship and alliance
of lome nation able to protect it i J need
not trace to you Che contequences of so de
plorabje an event, particularly to Virginia,
which however rich and extensive, can ne
ver- become ar maritime power. All these
■ circumftadees Our politicians; c ught to re
volve fenoufly in their mihd ß v ; > \
“ To a refleaing Mran^cr i^muft appear,
fiagnlir, tkat Wafures, apparently calcflr
laud to encourage’ American navigation,
which is an ©bjedt so interesting to New-r
England, . and so {retaliate rite injuries
done to our commerce in consequence of
the orders of the British Court . .(and
which injuries have fallen principally on
the people of that country) Ihouid be
oppoted by ,the EaftcKO, rand urgrd
«rit^ ‘the most yehemenent zeal by
■ the -SVulKerh States. The former think
that -fiith rhea lures would precipitate us
immedrataly into a warp, and are therefore
djfpofpd to pry, in the firft place, the
peaceable mode of negociation to obtain
a red refs of oiir injuries; and to leave i t
unfettered by any circumstance which
might be used aS .a pretext by the Brilifh
court to evade justice, and induce boftili
ties which would be ruinous to obr. present
prbfperW. v lt is - certainly very singular
that the Southern States Ihould ba«e «£o
eagerly preft measures which those \ most
interested deemed fatal to the objeds which
they, werq meant to promote. „ l.recolled
that, it was one cd the strongest objeflions
urged byfomaoftheoldeft ^nd nbkft
ftatetehcu in Virginia to the adoption df
■the present constitution, that the ^ Eastern
Sc^et-Usthey fjxppofed) forming
ty in the legiHattjife, would be difpofedlb
encourage their navigation io Inch a degree
as tb fecurt to themselves the monopoly of
our carrying trade, and jh^<by be enabled
to ex ad the. most enormous freights fqr the
ttan.ipbrmriQn of the bulky ankles of the
fouth, to the injury of the southern plaHt
era. How. different has beeu- their con.
dust from theie anticipations. It is the
booth which ^nffer faeh mUfurer,, pven
to the hazard of a war. It is W East
which oppofa them. . . ; x
«Sl£ a fair and temperate attempt
just the differences .between Great Britain
and os* negociation fikdold fail, then
fdf prefemtion/ then duty to oosfelve^ <
duty to mankind, will juftify every met-,
fCrefettn to fcqueftration of Britrih debts,
‘by w^i&mri injuries may be rctriiated,
and juftrcc Vendcred to our citizens. -It is.
not probable that Great-Britain, a nation
accustomed to war, and which for the ser
vice of the present year, raife's a revenue of
one bitndrtd und fijty trtillions ts dollars, and
is mjftrefs besides pt the ocean, can be
easily influenced by threats, though her
passions ansfspridemay beirritated by them.
On.; the whole, therefore, 1 cannot help
thinking, that in the present date of things,
the Eastern has been the wifefl and best
policy. We might advaqtageoufly improve
the time of the negociation by providing
revenues, and warlike equipments; so as
to be ready to meet And appeal to. arms if
it femrid be inevitable.^ I have however,
a confident hope, that the present differences
will be amicably adjusted, arid peace eftab
lilhed bn a firmer basts than ever, by the
mftUftireK of the executive.
<> When I reflea on . the relative cir
cumfiance, of th* Eastern and Southern
fta|es, the former led by the neceflity of
their fltuation to navigation—the latter in
vited by their climate, their foil, and the
value of their produaiops tp agriculture 4
The one fitted to carry to foreign .markets
what has been railed by the industry of the
other, I have viewed them as peculiarly
designed for matoal affiance and accom-
Inodatton t and to unite on terms cf re
. ciprocal interest. I have often been afton-.
ilhed at the observation, that the Eastern
and Southern Rates had different interifts.
The fad it; they only have different purjuits,
which product Ah inter efts., It.
' would be the greatest misfortune to both,,
to separate. Thckunibn.W-calculated to
' qourifh each others prosperity. Yet, un
less our navigation is protefied, a (epara
tion may be inevitable.' The Southern
Rates from their habits and peculiar cir
cumstances, cannot flourifh without com
merce ; and they mult submit to have their
produce traulported by foreign, if Ameri
can vcffels are not enabled by an adequate
protpaiop .to do it, Bjtt the eastern Rates
cannot exist or prosper, without their riavj
gation, and they mu ft ha Ve^t protected, m
feme way or other, and if the United States
do not pursue measures adeqax to .this
objed, they may be obliged to feck its
prottaibn by a Reparation, and foreign al
liances. I hope the united wiWorn of our
councils will ward off an event so mifehiev
ous to our mutual peace and happiness, and
so much to be deprecated,”
Mr. ? GdODHU£*s resolution on the fub
jeft of indemnity for the losses sustained by
depredations on our commerce, was yester

flopped between the United States and the

and Canada, until compensation be made
