states are hard pressed in their political rela-

up hope and fear to their view; great cxertion
will be made to excite jealousy and create geo.
graphical instead of political distinctions. The
delegation from Pennsylvania, as far be
ascertained, are for war measures-create a
contrary belief among them regards our ru-
lers and they stand on ticklsh ground-not in
deed from their own measures, but others
which have been forced upon them by the Sem
ate, who have particularly dictated every i'm
portant measure which has been adopted this
session, regardless of the Recommendations of
the President, approved by the House. We
have never expected that any system would
be adopted that would meet our Appreciation
but VIC determined to give our support TO those
| which should be resolved on if we could possi-
bly, reconcile them to eur feelings, though we
| have not had the same solicitude for the system
now demanded by the crisis, the delay of which
has certainly been unexpected to us after it was
decided that we had cause of war, and that We
| must resist by force-yet we have solcitude,
and lively anxiety for the prosperity of our
republican government, administered princi-
paliy by honest, high-minded and honorable
| men, who have endured many trials for their
| adherence to maXims & measures. For these
| reasons we are not disposed to take exception,
however successful we might be, to measures
| If it must eyentuate to the prejudice of those
we esteem, who at this time stand on deceittni
ground, supported by calculation of interest,
| that holds up its head as the proper authority
| to controul the more noble and worthy. And
1t is with regret that We express our belief that
a system is or foot, growing out of, and taking
| advantage of the discontents produced from our
| present situation of affairs, which has already
| grown so bold as to speak out; if suffered to
mature it will become formidable, indeed it is
SO already.
