tieHicd, that when persons or things become domi-

states, they are both, t az J1SpCciS subject To the
Jurisdictions of such states respectively. Upon this
primciplc, there would not be any difficulty the
payt oil the oppressed, aud nsultc s,atcsF in doing
themselves Justice, least, in COuutcrIctng, in
great degree, the n. ticc OF the T. States. This
would be effected by laying an excise duty upon all
domestic manufactured goods, corresponding with
the iinp1st duties lana by the L. s upon foreign ilu-
ported goods OF the descriptions respectively.
There might also be added mark OF odum,

tax Upon the vendor OF the domestic goods. Upon
all horses, cattle, hogs, &c. brought within the limits
ri each state excise duty according To the value

Il capiiation tax upon the G1ovcrS. One OF two CT

plot. Einer the domestic goods would come into
market, upon terms ri fair competition with foreign
goods; they would be excluded from the market

domestic articles would impose upon the excluding
states, would b:, that they would have To pay the
UNJUST and cXorbitaut duties imposed upon imported
goods: ii; thc they would have the satisfaction OF
knowing, that these unjust, coercive contributions
would go into the treasury of the L. :. and into
the pockets Of the localized plundcring manufactu-
rers. Besides, believe, in the end, the farmer
would nc: io=a any thing by this operation; because
