By GEORGE ". 7, GUSTS Esq.
Of .srAngton House, in The Listflet n Cs-
k1Mbia.

AT a time when the energies OF the nae
ton scera awakened to the state Of our toy
reign and domestic concerns, Wc conceive
that the important lntefests OF Agriculture
ana Manufactures Should meet wiz. consI-
.teraoie share OF the public discussion. Ger
tain it is, that al no peiivd 0. sui political
History couil tnese national subjects excite
more interest or be more properly urged to
the notice OF the pnbll5 mind. The unsettled
and impending appearance OF our foreign at
fairs, anG inc present disturbed state OF the
European wolio, reEders il dOubly necessary
for the citizens OF America to cherish and
promote theu domestic policy, whereby they
n.AY derive those resources which are nov
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
indusir, within themselves. Too long have
these important a.ll patriotic interests been
Mes,iected The nation now feels their Want,
and We trust will duly provide FOR their snpi
port. Governments, hitherto engaged III othcs
concerns, will -nnw cherish those domestic
institutions, which viii Ptr.s.--- the pation's
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
Of the merits of the little work We arg
about to issue 10 the public, it is not ollr proc
vince TO decide, but sot the advantages to bs
derived from its sale We would beg leave 20
say every thing which disinterested exertion
in the. cause Of Domestic Manufacture Justly
demands And as the profits OF this work,
after she expenccs of publication are paissts,
will be solely devoted to the purposes q the
Arlington Institution, we may hope and coils
fdeltly expect liberal patronage from .
discerning and patriotic community.

Certificate Of mr.. Thomas CamtdeA, Harness
~ maker
1t would be an act of injustice to withhold
my testimony Of. the salutary effects OF Doctor
Iissot's Govt and Rheumatic Drops, as have
experienced very unequivocal instance OF
their virtues ard efficacy I was afflicted with@
two severe attacks Of what is usually called
Dead Palsy, from which partially recovered,
but was obliged to use crutcEes to aid mem
walking when ! left home; to this were joined
violent Rheumatic pains, the result Of the at
Fiction, and had feared TIC disorder would
accompany me through life; but proyldentialy
ly was recommended to apply at George Dob
BIZ. and Murphy's for Dr.. Tissot's Drops, and
after using only one bottle, found myself per-
tcctly liberated from my disorder, and am now,
thank God, as free from pain as if never had
been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate
SO powerfully on myself, determined to APP
ply.it internally to my child, boy only eleven
months old, who was then reduced almost to
a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after
administering it four times to him, his com
plant was entirely removed, and heis now re
covering his strength with great rspidity.

relates solely TO legislative powers al
| though it is classified with the powers q
the judicial department. An Inference
has been drawn from this clause, as the
power OF declaring the punishment, Of urea.
son, IL expressly given 70 Congress, il ex
cludes the inference that congress may
also declare what acts shall amount Ia
treason. This however is mere infer
ence; and ii that effect was intended bv
the trainers OF the cOnsttu ion, they would
certainly have expressed it--for it is not
possible tor them To conceive, If this idea
once presented itself TO them, they would
have left a subject of so much deiIcac.
and Importance To- mere Inference. This
different views, and so far from its exclu-
ding legislative declaration OF the acts
amounting 10 treason, il affords an nrgu.
ment in favor OF that construction. This
clause like the preceding one is intended
both 10 confer power, and limit It's excr-
else. II gives tn congress the power of de
ciaring the punishment ofIreason, but Ii.
mits It's exercise TO a,tainder of blood only
during the life of the person convicted.
Bun may no. congress-, consistently with
this clause, apply different degrees of pun.
Shment To different acts Of treason
Are there not different degrees of moral
turpituds, in ditferen, degrees OF treason
And how can congress possibly graduate
according TO the degrees Of moral turpi
tude, diff, rent pnnishmeHts 10 different
acts, wthnut the power otGehnrng
the acts TO which such pusishmcnis
are to be applied? lie acknowledged he
could not see how it could be done, with
OUT such definition. The doctrine of az
ortlonins punishments to crimes accnr
ding TO the standard Of moral urpiIude,
has always been a tavnrie one in this
country, and very probably, was not with
out its effect in Introducing this clause IN
10 the constitution. He said he had done
enough however for hin argument, If m
lad shown that The nCereuce g,0,ally d
duccd from this clause was not warrants
by II. lie had now presented to The Sc.
"a'e the leading motives wiih him for IL
trodnc'ng the principle OF the bill--aod IL
ne had occupied more Of their time, than
was agreeable he hoped the delicscy, dii
hculy, and Importance of The subirC
would furnish his apology.
