IT, The Wooi. Gro,Uers and Woot .Nqnufdc-
furers, IN The State Of Rhode Island.
One who can never be Indifferent TO any
measure that will increase the industry,
add to the wealth, and make more pro
ductiye the labor Of the citizens Of his ma.
tive state, would at this time, call your at.
icntion TO n subject in which you must. ne
cos5arily, have n deep, as well as Pecu
liar interest. You, certainly, have not
been inattentiye to some Of the measures
which were proposed and discussed during
the late session Of Congress, and the wri.
ter is assured, there was no one proposed
whose progress you watched with more
anxiety, and whose defeat you regretted
with more sincerity, than the Woollen
Bill, as it has been generally called. AT
ter violent struggle which lasted many
days, during which it had to encounter as
vruent an opposition as was ever known,
at any time, in regard to any measure, that
bill passed the House Of Representatives,
by small majority, and was subsequently
lost in the Senate. In addressing you, il
is not necessary to say word on the me
rlts of that bill, the different interests i,
was calculated to promote, and the great
advantages which would have been derived
from it, provided it had become a law
these arc familiar to you, and must be to
all rejecting and unprcjudiced minds
The question now presented is highly
important one: Will you in person, and
through your public agents, make another
attempt to secure to yourselves and to'oth
or classes Of the community, the blessing
and Advantages which this bill offered.
Presenting on an Affirmative answer, whai
course can be pursued which will best an
swer the end in view? this is the next
subject for consideration. Your public
gents, men you have clothed with power
must be made to know the interests Of
those they represent, and silence on the
part Of the people, should never be con
struel, into an acquisition Of measures
which in their operation would be deadly
hostile to their best interests. Ifycu have
not complained, let it not be inferred you
have no just grounds for complaint. The
great agricultural and manufacturing states
OF Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts,, are
now awake to what concerns them, and
are putting forth their strength; the voices
Of tho people Of these States will be heard
the people Of these States will cldmor
for justice, and a just protection OF their
rghts--By them you are called upon to
unite, in one common cause, in the prose-
cution of measures for our common bene-
fit, and our general welfare. Vermont,
New. HAMPSHIRE Maine, Connecticut, a
great portion of New-lork, New.Jersey,
Ohio, with other states beyond the noun
tains, will respond to the call that has been
made; and shall Rhode Island, State
which has proportionately more at stake.
in the measures proposed, than any other
State i'll the Union, yield a reluctant as
cont TO the course that has been recon-
mended? trust not.-I know too well
your feelings to entertain this belief Let
then every town in the State be well re-
presented, at tho wool lgrowers and manu-.
facturers' meeting, proposed to be holden
at Newport, on the Friday next succeed
ing the fourth Monday in June. the week
in which the members of The Legislature
will meet. Let it be understood that no
town will be under any restrictions as to
the number Of their Representatives, for
as all have common object in view, To-
catlcs in relation to the questions to be
discussed, and the measures to be adopt.
