Mr. DIRB OF Genrgia, brought forward in the
house of representatives or ,lle last day OF the
sitting. aresoui2n that all the Members should
appear at the next meeting OF congress in COM
PETE suits of home manufacture
The resolution was opposed and reiec;sd or
the ground that some members might MT be
bic TO procure ari;c es Of home manufacture +;
that IT all could. it would be better mat they
should 90 inIo the mczsue voluntarily than b.
thus compelled intc it and thar if the resou-
ton were passed, the house would have no pow
e. 10 enforce it.
Though the resciu,ion was lcss, irs object will
probably be attained. Many members declared
in The house and out of IL that they would con
form 10 lis spirit. Probsby majority of both
houses will be clad in homespun. should this
be the case, emulation viii be excited through
out the country 10 produce the best and hand

When Presiden; Washington met the FIST
Cong ess under the present Constitution in N
York, he had not an article about him bu,

would be very far from derogating from his high
character. l1Tus American.
