plans proposed of extending this valuable
race Of animals, for the benefit Of the

By GEORGE p. CUSTIs Esq.
az .drlingten House,. in The District Of Co.
lnnbia.
AT time when the energies OF the ma
ton seeM awakened to the state Of our TO-
reign and domestic concerns, We conceive,
that the important interests 4ot Agriculture
and Manufactures should meet with consi-
tain it is, that al no period of our political
history could these national subjects excite:
moro interest or be more properly urged ,o,
the notice of the publi5 mind. The unsettled
and impending appearance of our foreign al
fairs, and the present disturbed state of the
Europesa world, renders it doubly necessary
for the citizens of America to cherish anas,
promote their domestic policy, whereby the,
may derive those resources which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth ane
Industry within themselves. Too long have
these important and patriotic interests been
neglected. The nation now feels their wapt,
and we trust viii duly provide for their sup
port. Government, hitherto engaged III other
concerns, will now cherish those domestic
institutions, which will preserve the nations
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
OF the merits of the little work We are
about to issue TO the public, it 10 NOT our pro-,
vince to decide, but of the advantages TO be-
derived from its sale we would beg leave to
say every thing which disinterested exertion
in the cause of Domestic Manufacture Justly
demands-.And as the profits of this work,
after the expenses Of publication are paid,
will be solely devoted to the purposes OF the
Arlington Institution, we may hope and con-
adently expect liberal patronage from q
discerning and patriotic community.
