people are now laboring. have AWays
been opposed to the system OF taxing one
portion OF the people Of our country Tor the
benefit OF the people OF another portion
but New England having saddled the coun-
fry with a protective tariff, and ms We arc
now taxed to support the Federal Govern
n,ent, with it's innumcrable northern navy
Yards, dock-yards, arsenals, &cs II, Is no
more than e Just TO our people y tnat
the Federal Government should bear the
expense Of improving our RIVERS and COM
pleting the jwateE-line communication be-
tween the waters of the Mississippi Valley
and Hampton Roads through: the Ohio,
Kanawha, and James rivers. This great
work would have been completed by Slr.
einin before this if She hid retained her
immense possessions i'm the Northwest, but
having presented large portion sot
her Territory to, the General Govern
ment for the benefit Of ali the States
it Is the duty Of the representative
of all the States to vote the necessary
amount Of money to complete the WORK.
The people of the, West rs we'll us the people
of Virginia arc to be benefited by this I'M
ureye45seht, and therefore they ought 10
ioin us i'm demanding Of Congress an appro-
priation for this purpose. When we renect
that the people of the West arc taxed to
keen I'D an expensive naval establish
merit, d line Of Notifications along the,
Atlantic coast from Canada to Mexico,
lighthouse system, q survey Oh the
coast, q bounty to New England usher
men, &c, It is not asking too much OF the
General Government to give them 4 Tree
and direct route to the Atlantic coast Tor
their products. Finally, if am elected to
Congress l shall advocate the immediate
annexation of the island Of Cuba to the
United States; shall oppose the rcenact.,
ment of the alien and sedition laws; ana
shall vindicate the sovereignty Of Virginia by
the introduction Of a resolution censurlng
the present House Of Representatives for
ordering that adopted citizen Pat Woods
to be kidnapped, taken out Of the State,
and imprisoned in the city Of Washington,
and after Mayor Ellyson had performed his
duty in requiring Pat Woods to give bond
and security to appear before the grand
jury to be indicted according to law.
The passage Of such resolution, think,
would be eminentiy proper, not only as il
yindication of State sovereignty, but to dis
countenance any attempt on the part OF the
servants of the people to create privileged
class in this country. ..-..
