buttons and internal taxes, are the only
measures. If any one under these
circumstances, after examining the re-
port OF the secretary OF the treasury,
and closely observing the proceedings
OF congress, apprehends a declaration
OF war, he must believe in the existence
OF man In the moon. War is out OF
the question. Mr.. Gallalin's last re-
port TO congress relative to the enforce
ment OF the restrictive system, and his
circulars TO the collectors, are sufficient
intimatlons that the threat Of war IS
merely to infinadafr, while the contin-
entail system is to be rigidly enforced,
after the manner Of France. An The
former acts OF our government and The
half concealed projects of our Geneyan
tinancier, plainly Indicate that there is
to be no war, but rigid enforcement
OF the restrictive system by arbitrary
and unconstitutional means--means
that the people would have resisted two
years ago, but they have now become
familiar with the restrictive system,
and their spirit is deadened. Let us
have war, or commerce unshackled by
our own laws.-Ne submit only 10
