TO THE EDITOR,

DIX T.
Whilst the public mind is agitated
and incensed at the narrow policy Of,
Spain, in shutting her ports against US,
permit me thro' the channel Of your press,
TO strike atthe enlarged policy ofour more
latent and specious enemies. Instead of
SHINING on the surface Of our disasters,
wishto levefa blow at the root of our evils.
Instead of directing our resentment to-
wards the European Po1uers, let US with
more propriety turn it towards EASTERN
AMERICA. instead of crossing the IT.
iantit, let us only go beyond 4heghany
Mountain. There is the source of all our
calamities; there our ills originate -
thence we have derived our misfortunes,
and still smart under her political scourge.
Let US no more be deceived with those
fair speeches, friendly communications,
and pretended good intentions Of our Pre-
sident and Eastern brethren. They will
do any thing forus except for cur advant-
age. They have given proof enough Of
this disposition T., = : -. -.
1t may be asked why may not Eastern
America extend favourable disposition
to our interest ! I answer, because our
interest and theirs are pointedly contra
dictory. < = = Y - J. - :
What I have already stated, may be
said to be only assertion, and an assertion
without proof, amounting only to invec-
tive. Now, therefore, let me proceed to
stubborn facts; facts undeniable and ire
futahle; and which must tend to open the
eyes Of every Western American to. the
antriendly views and conduct of Eastern
america towards US. -,. 4r.r, i
| shall only quote an extract from the.
writings of Monroe, himself, after his
embassy to France, in the year 1795.--
"Some time" says he Gin the beginingof
1875, ] was informed by Mr.. Pellet, of
the diplomatic section Of the committee Of
public safety, and afterwards by Mr.. Cam
baceres, likewise of that section, that inre-
lance ON onrneaty with England contain
ed nothing injurious to France, they ex-
pressly instructed their agent then nego.
eating with Spains to use his utmost en-
deasours to secure for the United States
the points in controversy with that power.
And shortly after, as their negotiation adj.
vanced, Twas asked as well as I remem-.
Der, by those members, as likewise by
Boissy D. Anglas, whether he wished to,
possess the Floridas, since it was intima-
ted it'would be easy for France to obtain
them; but which she would not do other
wise than with view 10 cede them to
the United States. I replied ] had mo-
power to answer such an interrogatory
nut was neil persuaded that we did not
wish an extension ofour territory. Well
satisfied ! am, that the French declined
