offer the widows Mite" and % couch our
own sentiments in the following AH1rus:
]. That it is the duty ofthis State 70 sec as

fir its defence.
.. That Congress Ought to lose no time IN
digesting the best plan for the deferce Of the
States, yet that they oughtnot to suffer them
selves to be hrccihiiated into rash decision,
by the eXcusable solicitude Of Virginia or
the Threatening Importantly Of Massachusetts,
that they ought to decide cooiy but on a
large scale 80 as to cover with their eagle

tliat they ought to connect in these schemes
what nature has already connected, the inva-
sion of the Capadas with chg defence Of the
States calculating fist how many men they
want for Canada, and then how many mfn
for the sea-board; and upon this estimate,
providing for 81 many to be rased--thCye in
