AMERICA INDEPENDENT.

How ridiculous Gccs that man render

Gcyernor Gerry 10 the LegisIature,-

Yes-saYs the legislature, in their an
swer-'' inticeIy independent Of foreign
nations. Orr agriculture and manufac-
lures can easily supply al our wants"
So said the President and so echoed
Congress-an thus non-intercourse and
non:mport.tion became the order OF the
day; and IS cur trade is at once cut Off
with all parts Of the world
But, alas! how weak and shert-sighted
are poor crrsrs .no'tal5 -
Upon looking at our engagements with
TIE indians, it was found, that we are not
i" jntirely independents And so the Sec
rotary of way begs Congress to pass
law allowing us to go to our enemy for a
f. y Indian goods, as indispensabiy neces-
sarv to tie fuIiiimeht Of our Treaty. with
even The Savage Tribes !! And thus ends
the farce Of our Commercial Indepen-
dence,
IT is by no means the richest, or the
most powerful man in society, who is the
most independent. But ne who can cir
cug.lsnribe Iris wants withia the narrowest
compass. The pGor tenant Of log hut.
on Tie green mountain, who can support
his children on roasted potatoes, and has
fans.ht them no higher luxury; is perhaps
the most independent man in Vermont.
The Savage. wise can go longest withcut
food. and without covering. is esteemed
the greatest and most independent man.
From this circumstance alone he is often
elected chief.
There IS Hrihc of savaees beyond the
sources ci the Mississippi, which is per-
hans the most independent nation ON

HuFrAzoas: and this animal supplies
All their wants. It's meat is their food
its skin covers them: its sinews string
their bovs-and they are " intireIy," and
truly, independent of all foreign ma
tioas "--tiow enyiahle their lot! And
how mortifying to Governor Gerry and
his i" independent Legislature, must be
comparison between the state of this
truly {" independent" Tribe and that of our
own government STOPPING from the high
ground of Independence it had taken, and
suspending the whole system of its res

FARMERS!

Now harrow your Winter Grain Fields,
Let those who will not believe Till they
see try parts oftbeir fields for future com
parison with those parts left unharrowed.
The fear of disturbing small portion
of the plants should have no effect. A
light harrow, in the direction OF the rows
of grain, will iniure but few; and these
will he compensated for. ten fold. These
who SOW Clover on their grain, will fad
the great benefit of this operation. Even
Timothy will thrive; though some who
SOW it in the FALL are apprehensiye OF los

Justice of this description.
