gress, enacted TO regulate the labour of the citi
zens TO controul them in the choice of professions
and pursuits, possess the very essence of tyran-
ny. They ar" unjust IN taking out oil the pockets
oil one class OF citizens TO enrich another. They are
not in consonance with either the letter the
spirit of the constitution OF the u. States. 1t is
bounden duty TO ourselves, and to posterity, to
strive by all fair means cause them to be repeal

TO render them as much possible, imperative and
/ on ourselves.
To those who would go further, believe there
are none such present, would say, "iook to the
movements OF neighbOuring states, aggrieved
as we by these laws. Has North Carolina,
Georgia Virginia advocated the measure OF
conventions among the injured states, OF Withdraw

rashneSs, start alone for the goal, in the expectation
that other states will follow" No, gentlemen, our
own citizens would not follow their leaders, il their
leaders should commit this folly. The legislature

that by commercial restrictions & embargoes, he
could bring Great Britain to terms; in other words
