there would be no considerable dimiuution in
the production of the staples which have con
sttutcd our exports, in which the CONNER
cal world has Gccp interest, scarcely less
than our own This common interest of pro-
duccr and consumer can only be Intercepted
by exterior force, which should obstruct its
transmission to foreign marEets--a course of
conduct which would be as unjust towards us
as 1T would be detrimental to manufacturing
and commercial interests abroad Should
reason guide the action Of the Government
from which we have separated, policy so
detrimental to the civilized world, the North
crn States included, could not be dictated by
even the strongest desire to iuIlict injury up
on us; but il otherwise terrible rcSponSi-
| bliity will rest upon those who so decide, and
the suffering of millions will bear testimony to
tn folly and wckcdnesS of our aggrcssors.-
In the meantime, there will remain to us
besides the ordinary remedies before SUGGESTED
the well known resources for retaliation up
on the commerce of an enemy.
Experience, in public stations of subordi-
nate grade to thi? which your kindness had
conferred, has taught me that care, and toll,
and Disappointment are the price of official
elevation. You will see many errors to for
give, many deficiencies to tolerate but YOU
shall not find in me either want of zeal or
fidelity to the cause, that is to me highest in
hope and of most enduring affection Your
generosity has bestowed upon me an unde-
served distinction; one which | neither
sought nor desired. Upon the continuance
OF that sentiment, and upon your wisdom
and patriotism, [ rely to direct and support
me in the performance Of the duty required
at my hands. We have changed our constit-
and the Constitution formed bv ou, f,tLors
