REFLECTIONS ON POLITICAL ECONOMY, AND THE PROSPECT BEFORE US. Addressed to the Citizens of the Western Country.
No. 19.
Navigation of the Ohio.
THE government of the United States, by means hitherto unparallelled for their wide, deliberate and pacific nature, have completely secured the great channel of commerce, from the interior of the West, to the sea. This was gaining an important point; because without the freedom of the Mississippi, the most perfectly unobstructed navigation of all the inferior branches which flow into that river, would have been of little avail in commerce. Thus the general government has discharged its duty to the different states of the union. It is next the business of those states, most particularly interested, to discharge a similar duty to themselves, by removing all obstructions, from the channels of those rivers which wash the borders of their own territories, in order to open a free passage into the general outlet.
The falls of the Ohio at Louisville, have prevented themselves to the trading interest in Kentucky. Ohio, the Western parts of Pennsylvania, and a considerable portion of the western part of Virginia, as obstacles almost insuperable. These are the only states in the union, peculiarly interested in removing them.
Some hints have been given on this subject in the preceding number of this address, and a general outline of the plan suggested. I am not certain that it is the best scheme of which the subject is susceptible, or the ground of expense, practicability and advantage. But it may let the mind to thinking, and lead to conclusions more rational, and better adapted to the great object in view. As an individual state, the subject is all-important to Kentucky; and the principles of every opinion should be treated with deference until they are superceded by clearer demonstrations. Let it be considered that a very large portion of our territory is situated above the falls. In consequence of our rivers flowing in a west north-west direction, they fall into the Ohio above the point of obstruction. Now it is probable that a large part of the produce of our soil, which, in future years, will be shipped from the interior of the country, must necessarily go through that channel; and a great deal of it by means of those rivers. Thus, it appears, from our peculiar geographical situation alone, that the greatest inducements for opening the falls rest upon ourselves more than upon any other part of the western country. I am far from thinking with some persons, that the southern parts of the state, below the falls, should be exempted from the burthen of contribution on this subject. It is considered upon the ground of a corporate interest, every individual within the limits of our territory, is immediately concerned. Where commerce is the means of making opulent farmers and merchants in one part of the state, the influence of that opulence will reach every part of the community. The wealth of Philadelphia, New-York and Baltimore, is felt all over the union; and has served to make wealthy merchants, farmers, and mechanics, wherever its influence has extended. It is the whole state of Kentucky, therefore, whether above or below the falls, which is immediately interested in making them navigable.
These opinions are introduced to admonish our southern brethren against the influence of narrow local prejudices; and to guard the legislature from all ideas of a separate interest, when this subject is taken up, in a matter of such general concern as the unobstructed navigation of the Ohio. But there is one argument, the validity of which, must make its due impression. It must be apparent to the most scrupulous; and is of such general importance, that it should equally excite unanimity in opinion on this subject, and call forth the immediate attention of the legislature. Let it be considered, that the natural fertility of our soil is unbounded; that it affords raw materials susceptible of an infinite diversification, not only capable in itself of yielding a comfortable subsistence to thousands of destitute beings, but of being employed in the most lucrative trade; that this part of the Western country composes a point, at which an immense population from all parts of the world is
increasing; that here a very large commercial capital is about to centre, which will require every aid of legislative co-operation to give it an active and profitable force. It will be our duty, therefore, to render all those advantages tributary to our happiness; and I know of no better means of doing it, than by preparing the way for an active commerce. It is this which will have the two-fold effect of securing the morals of the great mass of the people, by rendering them industrious, and of giving them the means of enjoying all the substantial, as well as many of the luxuries of life, in greater abundance.
As it is my intention to devote a few numbers to the subject under consideration, it will not be improper to make some minute remarks upon the plan already suggested, of opening the navigation of the Ohio. It will conclude by appropriate illustrations drawn from a view of the canalising system, adopted on James river and the Potomac.
There is perhaps, no bed of stone more susceptible of being quarried out with ease, than the bed of the Kentucky coal at Louisville. The strata, like all the Limestone rock in this country, lies in a horizontal mass, with thick ledges, either very readily blown into small fragments by gun-powder, or prised out with the crow bar. To keep the bed dry, whilst the workmen were engaged, it would be necessary to have a temporary wall from the island to the shore to turn the water into the Indian shoot. In constructing the walls of the canal, a most important object will be, to do it in such a manner as to turn the current or body of water as much as possible from the main natural bed into the canal. This can be done by beginning the construction sufficiently high up the river, to confine the current, and by removing the rock at the point of low water above to such a depth as to give it a constant inclination to flow through the artificial bed. To make the water in this channel sufficiently deep for ordinary vessels, or vessels of any magnitude, the natural scite of the channel must be altered in such a manner as to confine the water passing through it to a smaller surface, and consequently to give it greater elevation above the bed. This will be done by the mode of constructing the walls; & by giving them competent height, together with the depth formed in the work, the body of water will be sufficient for the purpose required. In constructing the walls, they should be worked up from the bottom of the canal, with an inclination outwards, or with such a slant from the top to the bottom, as to give a greater surface above than below.
I do not know what might be the fall at the lower end of the canal into deep water, after it had been constructed upon the plan I have mentioned. It is certain that the passage for vessels must be facilitated by means of locks; and the number of these, will be regulated entirely by the number of feet fall from the natural surface of the water in the canal, to the surface of the water in the river. From the best writers on the canalising system, I find that no lock should be of greater depth than between eight and nine feet. Whenever they are deeper, the body of water resting against the gate, is too great to enable the boatmen, or sailors to work it with dexterity on its hinges.
By this passage, I am induced to believe, that there might be procured such a depth of water, on the plan I have mentioned, as to admit vessels of considerable tonnage, at most seasons of the year. At the present time, there is only one reason that they can pass with tolerable safety; and even in this case, there has almost always been evident danger. Large vessels have only passed with perfect security in time of great freshness, when the river had been raised above its natural level, by very constant rains. Such accidental rains are not common in this latitude; and I am induced to believe, that, in future, from various physical causes, they will be less frequent. When the country is more cleared than it is at present, we have reason to believe, that the quantity of rain, particularly of very wet seasons, will be less, and occur not so often as at present. The natural humidity of the soil will be lost by the agency of the sun and of dry winds; and our climate will assume the same temperament with those which have been longer settled, on the borders of the sea. Besides, I believe it is a fact, that in proportion as the banks of all water courses are cleared of their forests, the quantity of water in their beds sustains a considerable diminution.
Our dependence, therefore, on the delivery of the reasons for navigating the Ohio, should not be so implicit, as to render us careless about removing its natural obstructions. A commerce to be profitable must maintain a constant activity; and be regulated by a continual spring, which suffers no obstacle to impede its operations. At the present time, however, whilst we are waiting two-thirds of our time for high water, the whole economical system of the country is deranged. The spirit of agriculture, commerce and the art of ship-building, all of which rest upon the fate of each other, becomes little and indeterminate. The farmer gets disheartened; the capital of the merchant and ship-builder suffers loss from its inactivity, more from the expenses incident to delay and loss of time, than they afterwards repair by the profits of their industry.
As long as these things are permitted to exist, our spiritless policy will produce but very few advantages, and may be productive of very serious consequences. We shall certainly never acquire all those means of accelerating our prosperity and happiness, of which our physical condition is so highly susceptible, and which a kind Providence has given to us for the wilful purposes.
ARISTIDES.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
To F. L. Turner.
Sir,
THE address with which you have attempted to evade the charges I exhibited against you, has become a man who connects as much importance to himself as you do. To the great injury of Mr. Breckinridge, & disgrace to yourself, be it spoken, that every step you have taken, only increases his difficulties, and affords new evidences of your own guilt, if the expression can be applied to a man, who, under existing circumstances, to the exclusion of Mr. Clinton, advocates Mr. Breckinridge as vice-president. Having prefaced your last little piece, by observing that my address is unworthy of an answer, on account of its fallhoods, you forget yourself, and proceed to point them out. Having discovered them, you found it necessary to exchange the plural for the singular number; for you dared not challenge the correctness of a single statement, except that respecting the toast of the 12th of May; and had you not have supposed the people in general as ignorant as you are arrogant, you never would have risked a criticism, or contradiction upon it. If I grant you all that you ask or contend for, (viz.) that the toast of the 12th of May did not originate in you, I ask you what you have gained towards lapping the foundation of my inference, that you are a friend to the election of Mr. Breckinridge as vice-president? The fact stands beyond the possibility of correction, that you were the announcer of that toast. It is equally true, that on the 4th of July you were appointed to repeat those which were announced; all of which you did, except that relating to Clinton, (viz.) "George Clinton, the tried patriot of '76, and our next vice-president—may he ever be preferred to mushr ons of the day." The language of the facts is as strong and pointed, and force the mind to the same conclusion, as though the toast originated in you. I have another reason for your aversion to enter the lists with me, than the one you have assigned: condemned by the dictates of common sense, and lashed by the reproaches of the judgments of sensible men, and even your own judgment, for the contemptible part you have acted towards Mr. Breckinridge, in your weak attempts to serve him, united with the discredit which necessarily attaches itself to you, you were willing to have thrown the gauntlet, by charging me with fallhoods, with a hope that no reply would be made; in this, however, you were as much mistaken as in your address to the citizens of Kentucky and the documents annexed to it, which, so far from benefiting Mr. B. heightened his difficulties, and by the force of evidence linked yourself into the same chain of republican apostasy, that is rivetted fast upon the True Reputoir . If you are resolved to write again, let it not suffice merely to charge me with fallhood and misrepresentation; such are the weapons of fallhood, and the stupid opponents of truth.—It is incumbent on you to destroy the facts from which my inferences are drawn, before you are entitled, by the right rules of reasoning, to bestow those epithets upon me. The facts are before you;—examine them again, and be sure that you do not substitute an as-
ed air of importance, with a vain hope of being raised above the necessity of answering to them, in place of fair enquiry, and honest refutation. "Be humble and be wise."
CURTUS.
[We have been requested to insert the following extract from an Oration, delivered to the Masonic Society in Cincinnati, on the Anniversary of St. John the Baptist, June 24, 1804, by Matthew Nimmo esq.]
Gaz. editor.
THE amount of my remarks respecting the submission of our fraternity to the civil power, whatever that may be, whether tyrannical, or as furnishing protection to the principles of liberty and equality, relates to us only as associated brethren, linked together by an universal chain of sympathy, and benevolence, which encircles us, and unites us in mutual fellowship, in reciprocal interchanges of good offices; but which prohibits us, as masons, from interfering with objects of a political, or of any other nature foreign to our institution.
"But while, in the character of free and independent masons, we are interdicted from expressing any dislike to the government under which we exist, yet as citizens we retain our natural & unprecriptable rights, of which resistance to oppression forms as prominent a feature, as obedience to the laws. Free masonry wisely debars all political discussion, for this reason, that its members may be equally protected by every government good or bad. But it does not enjoin us to abandon our rights as citizens, in order to become good masons. It is necessary to attend to this distinction; for, if it is admitted that, by our being brothers, we renounce our rights as citizens, then, there is no alternative, we are virtually slaves."
"It is unquestionably a principle of the human mind to wish for the liberty of all; to eradicate this wish would be to change our faculties; and it cannot be supposed that there is any secret principle entertained by free masons inimical to what is not only inherent in nature itself, but one of the most distinguished and honorable qualities of man. We therefore, as masons, although interdicted from canvassing political opinions, are nevertheless permitted to cherish a pleasing hope for the universal liberty and happiness of the whole world."
"In some countries where the iron-rod of despotism, is wielded with uncontrollable sway; where man retaining only his figure, is permitted to breathe the baneful atmosphere in silence, and often in tears; where he is attached to the soil, like cattle, a serf, or in other words, a slave, such a general wish if expressed audibly, would subject him not only to a barbarous punishment, but perhaps to death itself. Free masonry exists, in some degree, under such a government; and although the brethren, in their character of craftsmen, submit to, and even obey its mandates, it would be carrying the stretch of the imagination beyond the sphere of humanity, to suppose, that thus fettered by chains and bolts, and stripped of every attribute that ennobles human-kind, they bow with pleasure to the involuntary degradation. No! not only as men must they feel with the utmost sensibility, but as masons likewise; unless we can believe that this distinguished title, confers on those who have the honor to bear it, an oblivious quality which suspends every energy of the soul. Hence under such a dismal, under such a terrific government, it is not matter of astonishment, that free masons, groaning under multiplied vexations, oppressions, and insults added to injuries, should have, at different periods, not merely felt, but expressed wishes friendly to a more tolerant and less degrading system. To doubt that some of our brethren in foreign countries, had so expressed themselves, perhaps more in the spirit of despair than that of hope, and that their government, as distrustful as tyrannical, ever surrounded by spies and vile informers, got intelligence of such being their desires, would be to question the reality of the entire prohibition of free masonry in some states on the continent of Europe."
"WHILE we deplore the fate of the institution in such despotic countries; and while we feel all the sympathy and compassion for our brethren, in which a severe necessity involves them, we hope only for a short time, let us revert our eyes from this distressing picture of man suffering in the cause of humanity, to the happy situation of the fraternity in this highly favoured country, the United States of America, where, so far from its being a crime to advocate the rights of man—the
principles of genuine liberty, it is what we owe to our government, both as masons and as citizens, in being our duty in the one case, and our unalienable right in the other."
"To show how far this reasoning is applicable to the present occasion, and not of a nature too delicate for us to treat upon, I shall beg, brothers, to suppose a case in which our country might, by possibility, be involved. Let us imagine, what I trust never will happen, that, from the supineness of the mass of our citizens, from their callousness to the operations of the individual governments, and indifference to the concentration of the energy of all the states, in the grand union of force as a federal republic; should such a decline of public spirit permit them to lose sight of the first principles of a free government, and by degrees to grow negligent of their rights; and while in this lukewarm situation, some enterprising faction should usurp the sovereign authority, an example furnished by many ancient states, which have long ceased to exist—in such a case, is there an individual among our number, who would not unsheath his sword, and, in the gloriously united character of a free mason and a free citizen, shed the last drop of his blood in suppressing such a tyrannical usurpation?"
MOREAU.
IF there be any one whose imagination is too weak to delineate a picture of what Bonaparte might have been, or whose heart is so insensible to its beauties; let him for a moment direct his attention to a man who in some respects may serve as an illustrious model; to the modest and magnanimous MOREAU, known as the rival of Bonaparte, equal if not superior to him in arms, in the number of his laurels, in his military reputation; he exhibits a singular contrast to the emperor of the French. Was Plutarch living at the present time, what a rich subject would be here presented to him for the exercise of his inimitably discriminating pen! His usual plan of comparing together a Roman and a Grecian, two men of different nations, would here give way to the propriety of bringing together two men of the same country resembling each other so much in the greatness of their military renown, yet so strongly discriminated in their moral character. Instead of aspiring to a throne as Bonaparte has done, observe the walks of life, in which Moreau was ambitious to seek the purest employments of his life. 'I only thought, says the hero of Hohenlinden to his judges, 'on disbanding the army' and returning to the repose of a citizen. In this repose, which was not without glory, I enjoyed without doubt my honors—these honors which human power can never wrest from me, the remembrance of my actions, the testimony of my conscience, the esteem of my compatriots and strangers, & if it may be said, the flattering sweet presentiments of posterity.' Moreau is right in one assertion. Even should his compatriots desert his fortunes, strangers will not cease to esteem him.
And more true joy Marcellus exil'd feels, Than Cæsar with a Senate at his heels. [Richmond Enquirer.]
VINCENNES, (I. T.) August 28. It was stated in our last that the Delaware tribe of Indians, had ceded to the United States all the country between the Ohio and Wabash rivers, as high up as the road leading from this place to Louisville. We are now informed that the title of the United States was not complete by the relinquishment of the Delawares, as the Piankahaws who were the original proprietors of the country, had refused to admit the right of the Delawares to sell it. It appears that the latter who are emigrants from the shores of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, came to this country about 35 years ago, and that the Piankahaws offered to divide with them their lands upon condition of their uniting with them against their mortal enemies the Chickalaws, with whom they at that time waged a bloody and unsuccessful war. The Piankahaws on the contrary assert that the Delawares were only to have the use of the country to live and hunt upon, in conjunction with themselves, but that they had no right to sell it. The dispute however has been happily adjusted and a treaty was yesterday signed by governor Harrison, as commissioner on the part of the United States, and the chiefs of the Piankahaw tribe, by which the whole right of the latter to the country above described is vested in the United States.

OUR London dates are up to the 19th of July—The Northern Powers remained inactive. Nothing new relative to the invasion of England by France. The London papers state on the authority of private advices, that Bonaparte has called on the Emperor of Russia to withdraw his remonstrance, and retract his assertions, otherwise he will answer it in a manner at once striking and energetic—The Diet of Ratisbon has declined taking any further notice of the Russian remonstrance—Letters from Lisbon, express apprehensions of a speedy rupture between Great-Britain, and Spain and Portugal, while other accounts speak with confidence of the continuance of peace—The situation of Ireland grows every hour more critical—a spirit of insurrection appears to be pretty general—it is reported that they are sworn to rise the moment they receive an account of the enemy being at sea.
Mr. Holland, Dr. N. Alexander, William Blackledge, Thomas Wynns, Thomas Bloat Mr. Winton, M. D. Williams and Mr. Gillespie, are elected members of Congress from the state of North-Carolina.
Horrible Murder and Suicide!—On the 19th inst. at Reading, in Fairfield county, Ohio, a Mr. Bent, aged about 60 years, murdered his wife, by striking her repeated strokes on the head with a common ax hatchet, driving the teeth thro' her skull, and with such a degree of violence that two men with difficulty separated the hatchet from the head of the corpse. After perpetrating the above horrid deed, the abandoned wretch destroyed his own life by throwing himself into his well. For many years he had been habitually intoxicated with spirituous liquors, and had often threatened his wife with full taking away her life and then his own; but without putting her greatly in fear. The deceased has left a number of children and other respectable connections.—The perpetrator till he became a drunkard, sustained a fair character and was held in esteem by his acquaintance.

Makey, a Malay settlement on the coast of Sumatra, has been destroyed by the English, in an expedition fitted out at Bencoolen.
LONDON, July 7.
It appears that of the twelve judges who sat on the trial of Moreau, four of them voted for his death, four for his acquittal, and four for two years imprisonment. This singular circumstance is said to have produced a debate of 6 hours, when the majority declared for the latter sentence.
The long rumoured invasion, many correspondents from the coast persist in saying, will take place in the course of next week. Without pretending to know the day or the week, however, we are apt to think that the time is not very remote, when the contest between the two countries will be decided. The very formidable preparations all along the extensive coasts of the enemy from Brest to the Texel, we think evince Bonaparte's determination of making the experiment. We ought not therefore to relax a single moment, in our arrangements of defence. The Corsican, regardless of the consequences, seems resolved to put his good fortune once more to the test.
The king of Naples (according to the Dutch papers) has at last agreed to evacuate his territories, to be occupied by French Troops.
It is stated, that Lord Nelson has sent a squadron, to Corsu, to act in concert with the Russian ships which have arrived there. He still, however, maintains the blockade of London.
NEW-YORK, September 5.
Capt. Cepraid, of the French national frigate l'Amite, arrived at Savannah in 18 days from Porto Rico, informs, that on the 3d June the brigands of St. Domingo made an attack on St. Jago. The Spaniards, who were in number 7000 men, sent to St. Domingo for a French officer to command them. Gen. Devaux was sent by gen. Ferrand for that purpose. The brigands were defeated and driven back with considerable loss.
September 8.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the United States schooner Nautilus, dated
Syracuse, April 17.
"Every exertion is now making for the liberation of the prisoners in Tripoli—What the plan of operation for the summer is, I know not. It is said by some that the commodore (whose activity and enterprize does him great honor,) intends with the force he has collected, to bombard the town; others suppose a negotiation for peace is on foot. The destruction of the Philadelphia made some difference in the treatment of the prisoners—not so much however as we expected, they were only more closely confined for a short time, but experience no personal severity. They were all well when we heard from them last, and in as good spirits as their situation could admit. The Tunisians had purchased the ship and was to have taken her to Tunis in a few days."
"We had a brush not long since with the Tripolitan gun boats, who very prudently kept under the guns of the batteries."
"I have much pleasure in informing you of several captures made by the different vessels of the squadron, the first of which I suppose you have before heard of, by the Enterprize, with the Tripolitan Ambassador on board, and presents to the Grand Seignor.—An English brig by the Nautilus, and a ship by the Syren, the two last for a violation of the blockade. These captures have excited much surprise in this quarter; and it is said we have not a sufficient force to constitute a blockade, which I assure you most rigidly enforced, and no vessel suffered to enter the port without a passport from the Commodore. The prize made by the Syren, is said to have a considerable quantity of specie on board."
Important Correspondence.
The Monitor, No. 184, having asserted that Mr. Frere, the British minister at Madrid, in a conversation with the Prince of Peace, had said, "that assassination and murder are lawful in the present state of things, to save England from the extraordinary situation in which it is placed" the English minister demands of the prince of peace that he should contradict the calumny: But the Spanish minister waved the subject, by attributing the assertion to an unofficial Gazetteer, of which no notice ought to be taken; Frere persisted
in his demand, and drove the vassal of Bonaparte into a small corner. The correspondence (says the Sun) between the British minister at the court of Madrid, and the prince of peace, relative to the infamous assertions in the Monitor, imputing sentiments and expressions to the former, tending to laudation assassination, forms so very extraordinary a late paper, that it would almost be reasonable to doubt its authenticity; if the mean submission which has been shewn towards France by most countries, except Great Britain, did not give it a character of probability and truth. On one side we see a man of honor, anxious for his own reputation, and that of the government of which he is the representative, requiring a justification from the person who, as the British minister properly observes, is at once the only "judge and witness."
On the other side, we see studied caution, artful reserve, and an object avoidance of all explanation upon the subject in question. The British minister perseveres, as well from a sense of insulted honor, as from the principles of duty towards the august monarch by whom he is deputed. The other, however, maintains the same artful silence, & endeavors to turn the correspondence into matters that have no relation to the subject. But the design of the Spanish minister is frustrated by his very attempt to disguise it; for it is evident, that if he could have confirmed the infamous statement in the official Journal of France, his submissive policy towards that country, would have induced him to do so without hesitation. After such conduct it cannot be wonderful that the Spanish minister should retain the name of the Prince of Peace, so far as relates to his measures respecting France, and there can be little doubt that, whatever may be the conduct of France towards Spain, the Spanish minister will always endeavor to preserve his pacific appellation.
WE SHALL START
FROM the Falls of Ohio the first of October next, with a new BARGE, burthen 40 tons, and we will freight her back from New Orleans to the Falls at 5 dollars 50 cents per hundred weight. I suppose we shall be at New Orleans against Christmas next. Any gentleman desirous to have goods brought that route, may contract with us at New Orleans by letter. We have a considerable part of our load already engaged. Direct your letters to West & Siddons, at New Orleans. We hope to meet with encouragement from our fellow citizens, as our undertaking is measurably new, and we suppose there is scarcely any merchant but what is convinced that a number of articles can be brought to the Falls for what they will cost them at Philadelphia. We are well acquainted with the navigation of the Mississippi and Ohio, and have the best calculated barge to run, that ever was built on the Ohio, as we took the dimensions from the best patterns at New Orleans, and have had her built as such.
