But lie proceeded u shew, by a variet, I
of arguments. why he thought that d. T

from this expedition would not be real /

TO THE GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL OF vIRc'-

(.
MA.
The subscribers, citizens Of Fauquier
county, respectfully represent, that hereto
fore in times Of universal pecuniary pressure
IN the community. the Assembly OF Virginia
has by salutary interpretations, extended pro-
lection 10 the general interests Of the citi-
zens, in aulhorising conditional suspensions
OF process on execution.
The state OF distress, acknowledged now
TO be uuexampled in the common wealth, we
presume was not fully anticipated by the
late Assembly for we assert upon the evi.
dence of every man in the community, tna'
81 no time heretofore. have the embarrass-
ments been so great among individuals.or the
general means of payment so inadequate. .
We need not present TO the Governor ano
Council statement OF the various concur
ring causes, which have produced SO uniavo-
rable state Of things il is sufficient 20
know thar they exist and that our court
docke,s are crowded with suits in an unpre-
eedented manner. Nor does il afford conso-
laliou TO be informed, that every part OF the
Union, where mems pursuits are prlncipaliy
agricultural, as far as we have heard, labors
under the same pressure-But we can not
help remarking, that il is a subject OF deep
regret. that our late Assembly did not DIS
Germ the evil, which was so obvious 10 lne
legislatures Of other states adjoining US,
while the pressure of the times was not more
severely feIt-or discerning the real state
of things among US, reirained from mistaken
motives. from resorting 10 the modes OF re-
lief. which former Assemblies in times OF less
general distress had adopted. and in dong
which they had with the applause OF the
country.
II is not however our object TO criminate
even where we think elimination IS due
but to ask the aid of the Executive to at
temp. the reliefof the community, before II
is overwhelmed with ruin--before we be-
come more familiar with the sight OF men
imprisoned for debt, with the view OF desc
fdtiOn 10 tneif eStdtcS, ehC uSSsssus'O~
miles, the success of the avericious specula-
tor on the miseries of his fellow beings, and
above all to be dreaded, that anarchy, to
which tue present state of things must de-
vote this community. We might add other
reasons perhaps not less conducive TO the
propriety Of the measure we pray Tor, but II
may not be improper to state the tact, that
from the pressure of the times, the admins
tration of justice has become partial IN The
community, the courts OF some OF the coun-
ties, as we understand. refusing to SIT tor
the purposes Of granting judgments, while
Others inpel!ed by a sense OF duty do not
sIackenthe course Of justice.
We therefore ask, that you will exercise
your constitutional prerosa,iye. by calling
together, without delay, the General Assem-
bly,, which acting under The immediate i'm
Pulse Of the feeling and wishes of the peo-
pie, we doubt not will afford the proper re-
medy.

Mr.. Cobb made a few remarks "a
gainst the amendment of the Senate.
Mr.. Fisher gave to the house his
views of this question; departing on
this occasion from his usual course q
giving silent vote, only because, since
the subject was last under consideration
he had changed his mind on the subject
of this Expedition; believing now that
the interest Of the country required its
extension as far as the Mandan villages.
The general ground which he took, in
support of this position, Was, that the
extension of the Indian trade was the
best mode of protecting the frontier, by
countcracting the influence Of foreign
traders amongst the Indian tribes, and
the pernicious practices Of tho pri,a g
traders among the Indians. He also
adverted to the other. important objects
which would be accomplished or aided
by this Expedition.
Mr.. Cooke next spoke, at considera-
BILE length, against the further prosecu-
ton Of the Expedition. He denied the
advantages calculated to result from its
further progress. He condemned also
the manner in which the expedition had
been prosecuted contending that, if
necessary at all, it ought to have been
