III. fgaiH. STATE OF mutual waas, aud mutual
dependence, among nations, has been appointed by
God Almighty ia the Common order of nature WLo
can render himself independent Of the variations OF
so, vi climate, vi the varying habits Of lndusir, !?
Mutual dependence rs PLAINLY Intended To compel
mutual communication, and Intercourse TO cherish
nnhtI Interests and good feelings To extend mutual
knuwIedge ~ afts, and sciences, and literature, and
hhbits, hud nianHers; Ia facilitate aud convey all
KINDS "i Improvement and Ia show practically that
our mutual interest is intimately Associated with mn
iuai peace aud good will. The a.gua,eht nf,,or of
insulation and independence, may be extended he

whereas, II Is now known that every milton is en-
riched by the prosperity OF ITS customets.
IL Hsain. BY forcing capital into Manufacture
thaI dd not previously flourish without legislative
aid, you diminish tue capital of the country, without
even u chance CT increasing its industry. Thus !;
there has been great ouI-cry laeIv m England from
the mischief procured by restrictive du,ies on the
lumber aud lion OF Sweden aud Russm. The iron
manufacturers in England, and The lumber nerch ants
oi canada, sa'd, let as sHpl Iy you your
people They .ucceeded the consequence WAS
That all the manufactures usually Sweden and
hussia to bay iron and lumber, Mere stopt aud the
