TO THE EDITOR OF 1HE ENQUIRER.

Believing as I do, that the solid interest
and permanent happiness of cur country,
Consist more in the most homely indepepd-
ence OF Its citizens, than all the spendour
that wealth can give,--I have experienced
an heartfelt qualification from the demon
STATIONS of that spirit, which has of late,
stimulated into existence the Petersburg and
Richmond associations for the encourage
nent OF Domestic Manufactures las well $
from other manifestations ofthe same patri-
otic sentiments, IN variouS parts of the state.
1t as to add another proof to these uneuuivo-
cal indications of public spirit, so honorable
to Virginians, that avail myself of YOUR
paper, which, ! am sure, will always be 4
ready vehicle ct disseminating whatever will
prove so peculiarly gratifying to those mag
unanimous and patriotic citizens, who had
rather be poor with independence, than rich
by the permission of the usurper of the oce-
an.
AS early as the 26th April last, a hume
rouS association of the citizens of Su,1y. was
formed for the purpose of encouraging Do
mestio Manufactures. Tke members of the
Society arc already for the ,:.Sst paf.f. IL, !;
in homespun, and will very shortly be entire

mniating the poorer class of people to indus

extravaganza, l may venture to say, that

since the existence of the association more

provision is to be made to force it down by
military power, that time oughtto be allow
ed to study and digest the bill which has
been passed by the senate for that purpose.
At any rate, Mr.. Speaker, for goodness
sake do give us day, don'ttake itup to-
day. Thisis the twenty second of Decem-
Der, the anniuersaryof tie enlarge. 1t is
an oAai',olts day, and the bill offered now for
our consideration contains the worst attack
upon the constitution and the liberties of my
country that ever was before heard of. I
nave always been a republican, and mean
to continue one--I exerted all my might &
main to put out the tethraAs and to get the
republicans upon top OF them, but l won't
help to put them under them again. If you
pass this bill, mark what | tell you, the
fethrals will get uppermost, for our partyis
falling off every day. II you will make a
law like this, the people viii soon let you
see that the same things which put one pow
er out wont keep another in. BY this law
man cant pass the lines without having his
pockets picked by these dictators, the col
lectors. If he appears to be going across
the line with little money in his pocket,
he may be riiled of all of it, for moneys
money whether it be 1909 dollars or 10
cents. MIR. Speaker we want time to read
this here strange law before we take it up to
speak about it. We shall be longer speak
ing about it, if we begin to speak upon it at
once without knowing any thing about it
than If we understand it FIRST and then speak
about it. The furthest way round is
the shortest way home sometimes, and Pm
sure no gentleman will speak on this bill I'M
til he has read It, and at least thinks he un.
derstanas it. shall say no mare"

oHoDAI; bLIEMbER IT,
The following is at present before tn
house of delegates Of the state of Virgif
MA:
4 biNt0 SUSPEND The operation Of execution,
during The continuance Of the embargo
alad ninety acys after it is raised.
WHEREAS, it is unjust and unreasonable
( that during the continuance of the embargo
that a sacrifice should be made Of the pro.
perty OF that portion Of the good people OF
this commonwealth, who have unfortunate
" contracted debts, which under existing
circumstances, they are at this time unable
to discharge
. Be it therefore enacted by the general as
seinbly, that all judgments heretofore or
hereafter to be obtained in any courtof re-
cord III this commonwealth. or before any
justice of the peace of any. county, city or
borough within the same, shall be stayed in
the Office where rendered, until
days after the raising Of the embargo, by
the congress of the United States, on condi-
ton that the defendant or defendants against
whom sucn Judgment may be rendered,
shall give sufficient security for paving the
amount OF any Judgment or judgments rem
dered against him or them, as the case may
be, being required SO to do, by the court,
Judge orjustice before whom such Judgment
may have been or hereafter may be render
ed. 81
And belt further enacted, that all exaeu-
tons, now in the hands Of any sheriff, CO.
roncr, sergeant, or constable, on which the
several sums Of money or tobacco or other
ehings shall not have been made, shall be
Forthwith returned 10 the Office or place from
whence tn same was issued, there to re-
main, the defendant or defendants being re-
quiTed, and giving security IS above rsquir-
cd.
And be it further enacted, that no trus-
Tee or trustees, III any deed OF trust, or
mortgage, shall carry the same into execu-
ton but al proceedings shall be stayed on
them as IS provided in executions.
Provided, nevertheless, that all collectors
OF pablic revenue, sh@riffs and consSabl2s
and attornies FOR money received of their
clients, and who shall fail TO pay the plain
tiff or plaintiffs, creditor or creditors, when
required, shall Be proceeded against IN the
same manner as il THIS act had notb been pass
ed.
This act shall so into operation imrnedi-
ately after the passing thereof.
II is rumored that the British government
have taken up fifty large ships Tor the Bonn
bay cotton trade and that the contractors, as
an indemnity against any possible loss, have
requested the government to prohibit, for a
given time, tie importation OF American cot
ton. 1t viii be reco!lccted, that when Our
government was formerly contemplating the
non importation act, LORD Holland held out
to Mr.. Monroe, the idea Of lis government
,retaliatins in this manncr, It's theretore not
at all improbable, that such measure may
rcsul; from the present relations of the Two
countries. Phil haiaer.
