is, the great Inconvenience as well as the ad-

excepting an adjoining State.
This is an argument have often heard urg-
ed againft fe paratiou and it appears to me
Of fome weight AS rprofefs myfslf friend
to the propelled fspar1tion, it would give me
plsafure to find every objection anfwered to
general latisfaaion.
We are all feniible that the Coating trade
from the Difria of Maine to Mafachuletss, 8
of great advantage 10 US Especially to our
Ealiern parts !; as it employs many tEoufand
tons of veilcls, and gives bread TO large clafs
of our mon hardy and induhrious citizens !;
moa ofwhom arc apprrhenhve, that fepara-
ton viii be injurious to them IN the manner
above Eated.
have heard fome FAY in anfwer to this OBJ
;cction. that the made no doubt, an altera-
ton Of the Laws relative to Coafters between
the Diitricf of Maine and Mafachufetts,
would be made upon application to Congrefs !;
but for my own part, ! cannot fee any lcafon
that could be gwen. why we hould be grant
ed iuch partial indulgence. Other States
carry on the coating trade as we'll as we. and
