the fruit comprises the three great staple
commodities OF life, 6ec, hork and dread,
with homcspun distilled spirits :--ihc states
whlchembracc this extenslve interest are the
6ve Ncw-England Aiates, with two middle
ones and Virginia. The great marts for con.
sumption, are tho colonial possessions Of
England and her allied ror's--now If Eng.
land could only for moment sacrifice her
prido and pomposisy TO tho welfare OF her
subjects, her shipping could, convey all this
and epen iKm5er 10 her possessions; and then
we should not hear Of those distressing com
plants which speak loudly the misery OF the
manufacturers OF twenty OF the most valua-
bic counties in England; but cloiy and dom
ination has obliterated almost every spark Of
humanity in her ministcrs,a the abundance
Which that sacrifice would afford two millions
Of lsborcrs and mechanics pAo are crying for
susienance !!
There being sufRcicney Of coin in the
United States for the purposes of internal
exchang nge--prohibis the expectation Of bull
ION 10 China and India, and We have no need
to visit South America for her gold. we
want mines, Louisiana affords silver the
whole Of the Wxshitsw county and The tracts
bordering on the Missouri river afford ss
pure silver ss Peru and dollars are now in
circulation, coined in that country, which In
point OF parity erered any in me worid. The
manufacture Of fine cotton having arrived at
great perfection in two cf tho New-Englahd
states, will soon be able to supply the sister
states hence we need not cross three oceans
in cues' of china, silk and Bengal muslin--I
except thosc states which manufacture and
consume fax. will ask any man what does
America want which she cannot pfoduccs :
nothing l answer, but English buffers for the
nobility in Boston and Ncw.York and per-
haps laccs and jewels for tho numcrous trair
OF dutchcsses and lsdies Of the bed-chambcr

grandccs Of Connecticut have already on
their backs, feeccs which few years since
were the growth of Murcia and Andsiusia IN
Spain, but sheared and manufactured Ia their
native state |! The article of silk has al.
ready attracted the notice Of our farnncrs,and
tle ingenious hand of thousands Of our pea
san, girls are employed in the culture Of silk-
worms. But some will ask where shall wt
get the implements OF war We want none
but what the states Afford II hode- Island and
Massachusetts will supply ordnance enough
for twenty statcs--Delawnrc and Ncw.Jcr.
soy furnish powder in plenty, and 4 hcfe
there ever viii remain brave men enough 70
use them.
Salt Pe,rc Louisiana, will furnish
Blu, in all probability if the war is tcrmina-
ted, England, nor no other power will ever
advance I'll cir hostile banners 10 our shore.
Spirits Of every kind are furnished from the
New-Eng.and and middle ststcs,exccpi winoe

particularly near the growing settlement, CAL

tensive pIsins bordering on the banks clel

afford a wine very much like Port vino. At
the confluence Of Licking with Ohio rivers,
the project has been tried with great snccess,

Considering the opulehcs Of our citizens,
the abundance which our soil affords, and the
prospect which the Union presents, If .(de4
fion does NOT render aennder the only happy
government on earth, it is one Of the most
astonishing things in the world, that the OBJ
sequious adorers Of the British government
should loose sight Of the only fsan which
will save them from the greatcst Of sIl sub
lunary misfortunes, Rebellion and CYvil Wdr.
II may 90 that that GREAT sPtRrT, which
now directs the destiniss Of the world, anc
which has affrighted Princes from their
thrones and hurried monarchs into ruin is
born 10 lay waste ne kingdom against which,
We are con.cndine, emphsticalIy called the
6nlsvark Of religion and the friend to nations
---if 20 that very faction which is now oppo-
sing the government Of America will bo the
first sacri6ce he makes upsn the altar efhis
indignation.
1t will be an immolation which will call In
10 effect the anger and the vengeance Of the
most mighty Prince on earth. Butitis 10 be
hoped this political mania will subsids, and
America In commencing new ara, will tcs-
