Pr GEORGE w. P. GUSTS ESQ.
OF arlington House, in the Dissrcs Of ca-
lnmbia.
AT.s time when the energies Of the ma
ton seera awakened to the state Of our TO-
reign and domestic concerns We conceive
that the important interests OF Agriculture
and Manufactures should meet with conf.
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 pnbli5 mind. The unsettled
and impending appearance ef our foreign az
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
may derive those resource. which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
industry within themselves. Too long have
these important end patriotic interests been
neglected. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust Will duly provide for their sup
port. GowArnme hitherto engagedin other
concerns, will now cherish those domestic
institutions, which will preserve the nations
DIGNITY ard promote the peoples welfare.
:. OF the .,erits of the little work we are
about to issue TO the psohc, it is not our proc
vince to decide, bat Of the advantages to be
derived froRa it's sale we would beg leave to
say every thing which disinterested exertion
in the cause Of Domestic Manufacture Justly
deinands-And as the profits of this work,
after the expences OF publication are paid,
viii be solely devoted to the purposes Of the

fienfly expect a liberal patronage from a

1aiination of the precise evils or benefits re-
suIting to commerce from the measure OF.
the embargo. Butt will state a point which
5 in my mind is all important in this case
When the revolutionary war commenced, It
not merely the paying 2 small duty on tea
which was the snblectof contest, for It was
considered as unimportant but it was the
ri pht of Great Britain to impose a tax with
out our consent. This is the question now
IN contest affecting our independence as, IN
former times it afscted oucIigllts. Its.
d question affecting cur very existence as a.
nation. If this embargo be removed, and
that's the onl, question now under consis.e-
ration, no gentleman in the opposition has
stated what he would wish in its ROOM
Therefore shall take the question on the
ground Of acquicscence on the part OF the
United States in the orders Of council
Then,I ask, viii the United States SO far
abandon their independence az to subject
themselves to the regulations OF Great Erl.
tain and France, and be dietatorially told
TINT they should trade to such aud such
places only Shall we admit the right of
foreign powers TO- restrict US: Ii wesdo,
with what propriety can we at any future
day contest the principle: In my. mind
tits is the important POINT; and | sill re-
main to form my opinion whether the en-
bargo is the very best measure that could
be adopted. Yet, to shew 10 the world that
Will not surrender my rights, that | will
struggle for our independence, 1 shall GER
tainly vote against this resolution, till | see
whether any thing else can with Fropr:ety
take its place.
