red Copperas of quality superior to any ever
imported, and dispose OF it on better terms than
can be procured in our sea ports. We every day
continue to receive proofs that our country con-
tans resources that may render us independent
of the old world, and that it needs but the foster
ing care of government to bring our manufactures
to perfection. To every true friend to our coun-
try's prosperity and independence, it is consolsto
ry TO reflect, that should the mad powers of Eu.
rope continue their usurpations and aggressions.
the inconvenience Of being separated from them
forever, is every day diminishing, and will feel a
new motive OF attachment to our government
from the measures pursuing to ascertain our ma d.
tive resources, and giving such aid to domestic
enterprise as that we may claim competition with
the greatest manufacturing nation Of the world.
