contemplated by law. I conunu M itc, vith great satisfaction, the accession of another slate, Illinois, to our Union ; because t perceive, from the proof afforded bv the additions already made, the tegular flaurcss and sure con. ftumation of i policy c?tJucLthe good effect cannot be too highly estimated. By extending our constitution, Brer the vast territory witnin our limits, on the Likes and the Mississippi, and its numerous streams new life and vior arc infused into every part of oui system By increasing the number of the states, the confidence of the state governments in their own security is increased, and their jealousy of the r itional government proportionally diminished. The impracticability of one consolidated government for this great and growing nation will be more apparent, and will be universally admitted. Incapable of exercising loi al authority) except for general purposes, the general government will no longer be dreaded, in those cases of a local nature, and for all the fcrcat purposes for which it was instituted its authority will be cherished. Bach government will acquire new force and a greater freedom of fcCtion, within its proper sphere. Other inestimable advantages will follow ; our produce will be augmented to an incalculable amount, in articles of the greatest value for domestic iu:e and foreign commerce Our navigation will, in like degree be increased ; and, as the shipping of the Atlantic spates will be employed in the transportation of the vast produce ofthewt stern coxmtry,even those part of the United St;V,j. which are the most remote from each other. a ill be further bound together by the strongest ties which mutual interest can create The situation of this District, it is thought, requires the attention of Con j ess. Bv i he constitution the power of legislation is . stelusively vested in the Congress of the United States. In the exercise of this power, in which the people have no participation, Congress legislate in all cases directly, on the local concerns of the istiia. As this is a departure, for a special purpose) from the general principles of our system, it may merit consideration, whether an arrangement better adapted to the principles of our government, and to the particular interest of the people may not be devised, which will neither infringe the constitution, nor rffect the ob ject which the provision in question was intended to secure. The growing population, already considerable, and the increasing business of the District, which it is believed already interferes with the deliberations of 1 digress on great national concerns, furnish additional motives for recommendir ; this subject to voor consideration When we view the great blessings with which our country has keen favored, those which we now enjoy, & the means which wo possess of handing them dov n, unimpaired to our latest posterity, our attention is irrcslstablv drawn from the source from whence they flow, l et Us then unite in offering our grateful acknowledgements Jo these blessings to the Divine Author of all good. jWU-S MO ROE .V mbr 17 'k.

It can hardly be pre turned, while sui h y ists arc maintained in the rear of the Indian tribes that they will venture to attack our peaceable inhabitants, strung hope is entertained that this measure will likewise be prokjductive of much good to the tribes themn elves; esp cii lly in promoting the great object vu"" thi ir civilitation.
