J Cd. Virginia possesses almost unriyailcd capaciss
for manufacturing. She produces all the raw mate
rails, to wit: Cotton, Hemp, Flax. Wool and Iron
she has abundant water power, and the mldness
OF her climate compared with Northern or Southern
i is greatly in her favor.

eral government (not prehaps asto the extent, but
as TO the pr!ncip'e) was settled i'm favor Of encoura
