The ars, fellow citizens, is not far
d;aaut when we hall be enabled 10 live
independent of foreign alilance. Com
MERGE and uanufaaures, which are found
ed on and exit only by an exceis Of 70
puIalion, cannot PROPER as much new as
,bey will at iome future period. The
ueorle Of this country cannon engage IN
them 70 adyantageeuly as they will
Wien their number encreaies Tor at the
prstsnt time we have raueity, not ia.
rerabundance Of inhabitants in the United
States; but efimating the number OF IN
babitants in this country at upwards OF
Ave millions, and calculating the progref~
five enueafe Of population 70 be doubiing
once intgsnty years, as has hitherto been
the cafe, the confequence will be thar,
in that tine, there muA be upwards of ten
millions Of inhabitants in the u. States.
This, we mutt conieis, is a ihort period
to calculate on cur greater ability for
engaging in extenGye commercial connex-
icns With foreign nations; bur it will not
appear objectionable if we rehee on Our
means now and our probable refources
4 then; that it would be more polite 10 re-
main in our preiens comparative raillve f.
mation, than TO engage in an exteniive,
commerce until that period lhall arrive
when we can do it with fafety to our pei
tons, and advantage TO eur country. No
longer then, fellow citizens, would il be
neceaary for your vefels to remain moored
in their Ravens, their canvas could be IN
furled to the Aeeting winds TO watt them
TO the flores of diaan, nations; where the
american Eagle which has hitherto beers
too young to venture with fafety from Us
ref, would be received with gratulatery
ialutations by the nations of the world.
No longer would petty and in6grihcans
power dare to trample on the laws of ma
tons or de,ain your citizens IL an igno-.
mlnious bondage. No longer would hsugh-
~ and imperious demands ,9e made by a
nation intoxicated with fuceefs, on your
government 10 purchaie peace at the ex
pence of national honorr. No! cur num-.
cers, wealth and Influence would at thar
period protect US either from the in,eEeaed
and baroarous policy of the former or The
Vaccinations add i'll covered articles of
the latter. 1t is a truth which carries
conviction with it, that European coun-
iries cannot do without many Of tie pro-
dutnaas OF America; We have The articles OF
nscsilty and convenience, they thole Of
luxury. But the latent foufces of wealth
are daily opening themielves TO the people
81 this country, 70 that the Period will
4oon arrive wien our country can fupply
our wants OF luxury as it does at preiens
'00ie OF nece6ity and convenience. In a
co0ntry having the different climates Of
aim0t the known world we have every
'eaion to believe that this inppoGtion will
moi aitfer materially from the event. In
dependent OF the Disadvantages which CON-
a'efce and manufactures have abored un-
Mt. 'Sey have made rapid progrefs in theie
United States. The EaGern States pof-
,Sl0s rather an excsfs of population have
ven engaged in an extenGve carrying
