WASHINGTON CITY June IS.

Every common artiice os those who are
secretly inimical to our national prosperity,
has been, to represent the proposals for
establishing manufacturing companies as
impracticable in the present state of the
country, and as the result of temporary
passion. which, if suffered to fermeut
while, would soon evaporate. We doubt
not that a short time will prove the falla..
cy of these assertions, and evince to the
world that orr citizens have at once capa-
city to perceive, and resolution to pursue
with steady zeal. the only path which leads
% real i'idefie',dence. 4
Almost every mail brings the pleasing
intelligence oFsome new association to for
ward this desirable object; and it is with
peculiar pleasure we record thar in com
pliance with the wishes of a nnnber of
respectable inhabitants, NEE inc IF The
