be done. To minister just ice toj
and receive it from every power
they arc connected with, will, I
hope, be always found the most
prominent feature in the adminis
tration of this country, and £
flatter mylelt that nothing fhorr of
imperious neceflaty can occasion a
breach with any of them. Under
such afyftem, if we are allowed to
pursue it, the agriculture and me
chanical arts, the wealth and pop
ulation of these States, will in
crease with that degree of rapidity
as to baffle all calculation, and
mu ft surpass any idea your Lord
ship can, hitherto have entertained
on the occasion. To evince that
our views (whether realized or
not) are expanded, I take rhe lib
erty of lending you the plan of a
new citv, situated about the cen
tre of the union of these States,
which is designed for the perma
nent feat of the government: And
we are at this moment deeply en
gaged, and far advanced in ex
tending the inland navigation of
the river (Poromack) on which it
stands, and the.branches thereof,
through a tradt of as rich country
for hundreds of miles as any in the
world. Nor is this a solitary in
ftanceof attempts of this kind, at
though it is the only one which is
near completion and in partial use.
Several other very important ones
are commenced, and little doubt
is entertained that in ten years, if
left undiftur.bed, we (hall open a
communication by water with all
the lakes northward and westward
of us, with which we have territo
rial.connexion s; and an inland, in
a few years more, from Rhode-Ifl
and, to Georgia inclusively, part
ly by cuts between ^he great bays
and founds, and partly between
the islands and sand banks, and the
main, from Albemarle Sound to
the riyer Sr. Mary’s. To these
may :alfo be added, the erection of
bridges over confiderabk rivers,
and tire commencement of turn
pike roads, as further indications
of the improvements in hand.
