AN ADDRESS

TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE u. STATES,
ON THE IMpoRTAEcE OF tENcouRAGING 8
AGRICULTURE g. DOMESTIC MANU-
F.6CTURES;
Tending to shew that by a due encourage.
ment of these essential interests, the ma
ton will be rendered more respee-
table abroad and more prosper
Gus at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF
TIE improvements IN Sheep at Ar-
Iiagtoa,
The native Sheep of Smiths Island, and the
plans proposed of extending this valuable
race of animals, for the benefit of the
country at large:
BY GEORGE w. P. GUSTS Ese. g
Of Arlington House, in the District Of Co
lunbia.
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 OF Agriculture
and Manufactures should meet with consi-,
dera5le share Of the public discussion. Ger
tain it is, that at no period of our political
history could these national subjects excite
more interest or be more properly urged to
the notice Of the publi5 mind. The unsettled
and impending appearance OF our foreign al
fairs, and the present disturbed state of the
European world, renders it doubly necessary
for the citizens of America to cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
NAV derive those resources which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
industry within themselves. Too long have
these important and patriotic interests been
neglected. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust will duly provide for their sup
port. Government, hitherto engaged in 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 is 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 disinterestcd 'exertlon
in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly
denands-And as the profits of this work,
after the expences of publication are paid,
will be solely devoted to the purposes OF the
Arlington Institutions We may hope and con-
fdently expect a liberal patronage from
discerning and patriotic community.

THE SECRET REVEALED.

We at length have it from Mr. Jefferson
own lips, that the embargo is not Temporal
ry measure, but in word, that it would be
F" unwise ever more" to enjoy the benefits of
commerce. The following letter to the
legislature Of New Hampshire fully explains
the views of administration and taken IN
conjunction with the great e1pence which
government is about to incur to equip armed
vessels upon the lakes to enforce the embar-
SO, it leaves not doubt behind, that the
embargo will be continued until "the people
take 1t o8,," that is, until there is change
Of rulers. Read the following letter, and
see whether any other meaning can be at
tached to Mr.. Jefsrson's declaration
70 the Legislature ef Nc5v Hampshire.

lest he should kill himself with over
much study; SO that he was forced to

more in gathering the same notes,
wherewith he composed that useful and
learned book, which at this day is call

vexation than this could hardly befal a
scholar, yet he received it with that pa
tlence, as not to give his wife an unkind
word upon that account.

EXTR ACT,

From Whelbley's Historical Combend.
As man who stands on an eminence
and looks attentively over a wide and
diversified prospect; so is the histori-
an. Through the long period of 5000
years his eye wanders among immune
rable millions, and describes people,
nations and languages, who were active
IN the busy scenes of time but are now
reaping the rctribution of eternity.
Ihe great nations which enjoyed uni
versal empire, are now silent in the
dust And, as objects subtend a glass
angle IN proportion to their distance, SO
a century, buried deep in the vale of an
tlqulty, appears but as an hour and the
duration or a nation, as day. In the
morning its infancy is weak, and its de-
fence is IN the weakness of others. 1t
gathers strength by adversely, and at
length acquires vigorous youth. At
MD day its manhood is strong and lof-
ty 1T basks for an hour in the beams
OF prosperity, and drinks deep the in
ebrlatlng draught of luxury and plea
sure. And now its beauty fades-its
strength decays-its glory perishes :;
and the declining day hastens a night
OF storms and clouds, and everlasting
darkness.
The nations of men resemble the
perpetual and conflicting waves of the
ocean. If a billow rise high, it is but to
sink as low /: if it dash its neighboring
billow, it IS to be dashed in its turn
II it rage and foam it is but to exhaust
itself the sooner. If IT roll tranquil on

SAY, is it height, or shape, or air.
That to the mind true worth impartl
Can brilliant eyes, can flowing hair,
Can grace external, win the hearth
Ifheight gives worth, the flowers in vain
Ger blooming fields their sweets dis
close
The thorn exceeds Maria's train,
The lofty Yew excels the Rose.
IT graceful shape can worth create,
Inc Iyger's gracefulform must please !;
he deadly Adder's taper shape,
declares her worthier than the Bees.
If graceful movements claim applause,
he savage Beasts our praises claim
Whilst blood distains the LYONS Jaws,
Who moves more graceful Der the plainl
1t brilliant eyes true merit claim,
Or lowing ringlets worth possess
The Serpent's eye, the LYONS name,
Look brilliant, and show gracefulness.
Since neither shape, nor height, nor air,
Nor grace external, worth impart
What ornaments must be my care
How shall l deck my youthful heart?
Far nobler graces III pursue,
Which reptiles, flowers, and beasts don't
share
Fair knowledge, open to the view,
Is truly great and truly fair.

Ny heart shall flow with gratitude
With meekness I'll adorn my mind,
And to be A0Oefy, I'll be GOOD.

Whose mental beauties are her care

the bosom of the deep, it is but to sink
forever by its own gravity.
1t is thus with all nations-with all
human misunderstanding all the noble
inventions and works of art.
" The cloud-capt towers--the gorgeous
palaces,
The solemn temples-the great globe
itself;
Yea! all which it inherits, shall dissolve.
And, like the baseless fabric of a vision.
Leave not wreck behind"
And, alas! the ravages of time,
though rapid and resistless, are too slow
to satisfy the furious rage of restless
mortals. They must share the empire
OF destruction: To them the work of
death is most pleasant; and to cultivate
the art of killing and destroying, has
been their chief pride and glory in all
ages and whilst employed in that
dreadful work, they sink in destruction
themselves.
Unhappy children of men when
will you learn to know and to prize your
true interests ? When will you be con-
WINGED of that, than which nothing is
more certain, that war adds infinitely
to the number and weight of your Gala
mites, that it fills the world with mis-
cry, and clothes all nature in mour-
ming; that it covers your souls with
crimson, incapable guilt, and brings
upon you the wrath and curse of hea-
ven.
Is there to be no change in this ira
gick-this direful scene of blood and
slaughter! Shall brotherly love and
cordial affection never become uniyer-
sal, and peace unfurl her white banner
throughout the earth Is there no du-
rable institution founded in virtue. and
permanent as the eternal rule of iusticei
Is there no firm ground of hope--no
rock on which truth and reason NAV
build fabrick that shall never falll Yes
there is kingdom. Its foundations
were laid of old. Its king is the God
of Heaven-Its law, is perfect love-
Its dominions are wide, for they extend
to the wise and virtuous ia all worlds
