Gliding working people from her legislature,
MIR. n is misia!sen.-We suspect, il has near
ly the same proportion of them as YOU find in
the other sta;es.--Wc have many domestic
manufactures among us--morc perhaps than
he, is aware of,-thoush we cheerfilly confess
VIC have got too few. We might make many
more things within ourselves, instead of run
ming IN debt for foreign goods to CRAFTY false
pride. We bar, however, the idea of artificial
bonniirs, sc. iof the encouragement OF ma
nuiactures.
Its on our public works, that Mr.. n. seems
most To he IN fault. He asks where are our
schools, canals, Sc. He seems to be ignorant.
that besides eloquent reports, we have solid
funds! appropriated TO these plrposcs--ihat
our Literary Fund owns a permanent capital
of near S 100000, besides several sources
which annually flow into it; out ofwhicl, 40, 900
are annually appropriated 10 the education of
poor children 10000 annually 10 a great
university, besides $4,000 which has been
vested in IFS erection. Is he ignorant that we
have fund for Internal Improvement, at least
to l,50o,0o0 mostly vested in productive stocl;
out OF which are annually appropriated large
sums to canals, rivers, roads &C.? Let these
funds he wisely used, and time will show the
nohlest fruits of this policy.-No Virginan.
who understands these things, need blush al
be his boast, that while with one hand ne
guards the constitution, with the other he is
attempting to raise up some. of the noblest
monuments of public Improvement.
The Bosom Patriot seenlsto understand oar
condition better .than Mr.. Niles. Mark the
two following sentences from an article in the
Boston Patriot Of the 2lst:
Llerd'Y Faad Of Vrginia.--We find in the Rich
moRd Enquirer, detailed account of this fund which
"a
few parallels in county,
Had Massachusetts, like Virginia. done her duty
during The late wai and placed her m, at The dis
posll OF The general government for the dcicnuc of
our common country, She might AT this day be re-
ceiving reward for her efforts, wliiri would enable
her 10 make Yet further eXertions in the cause OF hu-
mainly on learning"
The brief article of the Charleston Patriot
requires still breicr answer. Is it wonder
iui that zee perceive signs of danger" when
we :" discern more than ordinary appearan-
ces" orerror I? Is il not time to feel some APP
prehension for the States, when we are told
| from so high Il quarter as the Charleston Pat
| riot, that Congress may do ereiy thing that
| concerns the general welfare"-and that our
Liberties are III no danger il The state govern
ments, were annihilated ?" Once drug the
people into Il state of indifference about any
unbounded extension of the powers OF the
oclti.i anu an eklilCtlDn Dl the
states, this would be the surest step TO the evil
of consodation-which would be only anoth-
@r name for Il monarchy more or less absolute
We take our leave fthe Patriot with no
other sentiment than regret. that a paper
which is so able and luminous on So many
other subjects should on this vital one fall in
TO such outrageous and dangerous errors. We
leave it to time and further reflection to couch
| the cataract.
