Would il not be a convincing proof Of their

can have some influence on others, and es-
pecially on himself and his own household,
for the promotion of this object And YOU
particularly who are regarded as leaders in

for the public veal, since YOU live not only
fJr yourselves, but for others And It IS
believed the present is favorable time for

means which they once had for gratifying
their appetite for spirituous liquor. They
feel more sensibly the distresSes of hat pow

have reduced them. And when men feel,
they will sometimes reflect when they

MR.. PRINTER
HAVE noticed with what cunning and
deceit the advocates Of Mr.. Jefferson's de-
structive policy, change their ground par
ticulariy rs it respects their justification OF
the embargo. The President, in recon-
mending the measure declared it was to pro-
tect our vessels and seamen but 1t was
soon evident this was not the real object.
The 7HagHaninity Of the thing, consisted in
the plan to starve foreign nations into prep
er respect for our neutral rights. Expert
ence has proved that our ability 70 effect
this, is idle and impossible. The advo-
Gates Of the embargo, now tell US tho Presi-
dent interdicted commerce 10 preserve the
country from war. This is one Ofthe most
infamous falshoods which was ever attempt-
ed to be imposed on The public. There is
not the least truth in the declaration made
by democrats that Mr. Jefferson could not
have negotiated good treaty with England
Az the time Mr.. Jay settled treaty with
England, which proved highly advantage
Gus to this country, Mr.. Jefferson and his
party opposed It in the same spirit they
have the one negotiated by Messrs Monroe
& PiHekney Fortunately at the former pc
Rod, they could only oppose but now, infer
tLf44tCtFy LlCF CdH allu nave pACFShLEA TIC
adjustment Of our differences with the gov
ernmtnt Of Great Britain. And to recon
Gle the people of the u. S to their mysteri-
Gus and ruinous conduct, they are endeavor-
ing to have it believed they could only take
the choice oftwo evils, viz. Var or Embargo
Such declarations are in unison with most Of
the democratic assertions but il is too bare
faced fAlseho0d to deceive the citizens Of
this country with, long. Thousands now
find they have been blinded and imposed on
in regard to our foreign relations. For one
l confess have had my doubts on this sub
ject but having lately procured copy of
Mr.. MOnroe's Treaty, which was transmit
ted by him from London to Mr.. Jefferson,
but who returned il without even laying It
before the Senate for their consideration
| know many who zealously supported Mr.
Jefferson to the Presidency, are surprized
and astonished at the part our Chief Magis-
trate has acted in this business. AS do
not recollect to have seen the Treaty allu-
ded To, published in The Gazette, think it
would be well TO lay II before your readers

ATsa time when the energies OF the ma
1sop seem awakened to the state OF our To-
reign and domestic concerns, We conceive
that the important interests OF Agriculture
md Manufactures should meet with consi-
desa5lc share of the public discussion. Ger
tain it is, that atxno period OF our poilucal
history could these national subjects excite
more interest or be more property urged to
the notice OF the pnbiib mind. The unsettled
and impending appearances OF our foreign all
fairs, and the present disturbed state OF ths
European world, renders itdoubly necessary
Tor the citizens of America to cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
may derive those resources which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
Industry within themselves. leo long hase
these Important and patriotic interests been
neglected.. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust viii duly provide for their sup
bort. Government, hitherto engaged In other
concerns, will now cherish those domestic
Institutions, which will preserve the nations
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
J3f the merits of the little work We are
about to issue to the public. it is not our pro-
yiace TO decide, bat of the advantages to be
derived from It's sale we would beg leave to
say every thing Which disinterested exertson
ins the cause OF Dolnes'sc Manufacture justly
