6 The greai events, which have recently TAX
en- place among The NATIONS Of the eafern CONT.
nent, viii probably have an alpea TO the poiti.
Cal relations of perhaps all nations on both CONT
nents. Connected as these y. States are with
European nations, by commercial inscrconie, and
oy our entcrprizing fpint OF navigation, 1t is 20
be expected that admidR their convufons and re.
voldaons, cur intereas md puluits will at times,
and in (ore degree be in,peded and counteratted.
Under view OF our prelent exiting circumfsuc.
es in this relpea, and the probable expectation
Of R;li greater embarrdnmeHts il will be wsrehy
the consideration Of cur citizens, whether, TO
secure oar own bcn.f 5 AMI TO guard IN degree
againa probable future interference, the time is
not arrived, or nearly 70 when American manu-
features may lie foaered, and encouraged, on al
enceaGng fcae. Our family manufactures have
ncreafed with the increaGng growth ct or raw
materials and our doneitc rnduttry has experl.
enced an enlarged encouragement. IN this tate,
we are fortunately Gtuated and favourabfy cir
cumAanced for an enlarged attention to iundIy
important and ufeful manufactures. / might
mention particularly, thofe Of wool, FAX, and
on, three very important products, which we
shave within oulelves, and which might be In
created and improved to great advantage. The
population of this aate compared with lis extent
IF foil, is fuP.rior to that of anof every other
fate in the unio,. The Increafed knowledge
ahich our people have obtained Of various labeur

limitation and invention, combined with the
great variety of water Rreams, and plenty OF
firing with which our fate abounds, would great.

- peculiar advantages in the commencement OF
manu- faetaring purloits. The various maDufac
lures which are formed from the three mentioned
articles of wool, AK and irsn, are among the
NOT reccf,ry ard dfefuI productions which are
lubf.ryicnt to our wants s. conyeniences, and will
a. all times as articles of 6rf necefity, obtain a
fccure and ready demand. Cotton manufactures
have already been pu{ued on this plan, although,
the raw material is not of our own growth; and
why not extend the like enterpriie to Other
articles, which are within our own immediate
reach and of our own production.
Should this idea be approved and the butlneis
be commenced by individual capitalifs, and
ourfped by theH, as their own circumstances and
the incfeafe of raw materials will admit, 6atter
nvfelf .t would be found profitable to the under
takers, and promotive sof the general inseref OF
the rare. 1t wsuld give an additional spring
10 internal induary /; and as We advance in the
purfuit il would render US more and more indie.
pendent of foreign fapplies and if succefsful,
il would by degrees, place US beyond the reach
of future foreign interruption and embaraa.
