From l.:e F jion Chronic'?.
In the • nft.racf of the exports of the
UnitctI States, from Auguft 31ft, tytq3
to Sept, laft, 1790, we find the whde
amount 20,4*6* £66 dolls. Of whi n
rhe articles o,v corn amounted o
,584—of dour 4,591,223_n
| nee <.752, V 96—of tobacco--4; 349,5:-7
j ma ting ^ toral of 11 >000,000, fevo j
hundred and feventy-i'even thoufarl,
one hundred and fixy feven dolls.
Thus only four articles, of the growh
an t product ion of the fotfthcrn ItatG
iHoft of which, are raifed by the Uboir
°[ blacks,: amounted to conftderahy
uioje than uait of the exports from t.e
v. States in that period. Noris i
it- at aft probable chat the relative
j ccnfcquence of theft ftates, m this poitt,
will be diminished by the retVa >f
peace. Un the contrary, Wlica CJ'_
fider the incteale of cotton, for uxa >

: right to infer that their proportion in the
! fear after next, when we fhall ccafe ro
be the carriers of any part of the. Weft
Inota or E aft-India produce will not
be diminifhed. We fhaii be then able
to form a more correct opinion of ch ir
discernment, who wilb to irritate the
i fouthern governments,and thus tc kaftan
a feperation of that important and ne
celTary part of the Union, to the great
injury at leafl, if not to the entire "rum
j Llie normern Hates, or it is evident
j t;m. fouthern ftatus can very well
i ^ftwitlwu: the northern, ?‘nd that

the author, anil would be bene bred
thereby , that he would fhieid him from

when the trial came on, although i.ib

or time, ior publishing reports of which
he was the author, and which honor,
