Improvement in this truly valuable race OF a.
nimals. The success of these early Efforts
will by no means relax my zeal III the cause,
but serve as a stimulus TO further exertlon.---.
The dormant state OF improvement IN the
rearing of useful animals, is much to be at
tribu.ed to the langour of improvement, and
the rage of commercial and landed speeuia-
ton. Unhappily all improvements in the use
full pursuits of domestic life, must give way
to the Overwhelming torrents OF preJlolce,
and the easy manner in which fortunes are
sometimes made by great strokes OF genius
in the science of contracts, leaves the more
steady and useful, andat the same time Ger

ledge and experience, under which this coun-
try at present labours, can only be supplied
BY great energy and experiment OF It's citi-

been attended with beneficial effects will

From the opinions necessarily inculcated
through the press, that powerful engine by
which governments operate most eAicacious-
ly on the minds of The people, have infer
red the spirit Of hostility to England and de-
votion to France. by which our adminis.tra-
ton is actuated. | am now about to call
the attention of my fellow citizens to ano-
ther circumstance which, to my mind, is not
less convincing.
In the United States there will always be
men who devote themselves to the Presi-
dent. They utter opinions which they be-
live to be his, and r,aintain those PROPOSE
tons which they believe him to advocate.
Of these, some are known to be In his con-
fdence, and to derive Immediately from
himself the ideas which they communicate.
From these Intermediates, others are con-
tent to receive their Instructions, and the
assignment of the parts they are respective
ly to perform. Through this medium, not
indeed SO extensively as thro' the press, but
toa very great extent, does an adrninistra-
ton also deyelope its designs.
Beyond the range of my own observa-
lions PTSteHd Not 70 SPEAK out within
that range, can confidently aver, that a.
mong those devoted to the administration. I
have scarcely heard an individual, who did
not breathe the most envenomed hate toEnq-

the test Of patriotism, and an unerring proof
of merit. Their utmost influence is exert

the nation. Many, in plain terms, speak

The eastern people would then, from DIRE
necessity, be Obliged ia do that, which all
the powerful ties Of patriotism, cannot in
duce them to do now--so exchange the iu-
picraents of navigation for those oil busban.
dry, and TO draw from the earth that sub
I sistence which is refused from the sea, or
to turn pilgrims and "plod their weary
way" to those states who would not suffer
their rights to be shorn, themselves to be
deluded, nor their property to be robbed.
IL is surely virtue that we never ex
pecsed the American people would want,
OF supporting their government, their rights
and the independence of their country. But
we are told by Mr.. Hillhouse that he does
not see how the embargo preserves our no.
nor, and that it is a measure more of self
oppression than self-detencc. This false
and re6eLftous idea, has, no doubt, been in
dustriousiy inspired into the minds of his
constituents, until they have been really
brought to believe that the measure was
wantonly intended to injure Mem, and that
there was no sort of immortality or illicit :
ness in evading it. Does this come within
the meaning of he Constitution, which saws
that treason may consist ia adherine 10 orr
enemies, and yiving them aid and comfort !?
we congratulate our republican bre-
thren throughout the United States ON the
result of the Presidential Election in this
State, just promulgated by the Executive.

has prevailed by majority of FIVE votes to
one, over the Monroe and Pinckney tick

TO acting. Whether this information was
