surcs alluded to; but with us they arc near- j If as important as our liberty, We recognize thj fact, that the productions of southern labour, find a certain market abroad ; and from proximity to the ocean, are disposed 61 with facility, compared with the difficulty attending exchanges of the bulky Sc ponderous productions of the north and west. The cotton of the south, is bartered at the work shops of Great Britain for cash, or manufactured articles, upon the very best terms. The productions of your soil find a ready marker in Europe, from necessity, which enables you to regulate your own prices to sell high, Sc buy low. A reference also to the many millions of dollars, that have been, Sc are expend inff along the shores of the Atlantic, in virtue

of certain powers heretofore enumerated,

constructing light houses, docks, navy yards,

buoys, beacons, harbors, breakwaters, tortiii-

cations, and other improvements, for the be

nefit mostly of the commercial class, may

with propriety be permitted to shew that our claims upon the treasury do not rest upon

false premises.

Our population and their condition, urge their pretensions to equal rights, upon the public ear. In this country a large majority

of the inhabitants spend their days in the ho

norable employment of cultivating the soil, for a livelihood ; and in this class of peopie, we shall always find the bulwark of the nati

on. 1 hey have no British sympathies, such

as are felt by many of the non productive classes of the great commercial cities ; but they are Americans republicans in feeling

and conduct. These patriotic yeomen, who dig their bread out of the ground with their own hands, have a principle about them,

which bids a proud defiance to the seductive arts of luxury, and who will stand as towers of defence in this great empire, when the mighty commercial cities oi the east and south may bo convulsed with faction, and enslaved by foreign influence and wealth. Shall not this class, then, these far mcrs, demand tne beneficial exercise of a single power in their behalf, out of the many which are d'dly dispensing their blessings to other brandies ot industry ? What, sir, I'm bids this people trom attending to their inteiesis? As consumers of impot ted articles, do they not pay their proportion into the exchequer ot the nation ? What are their opportunities of acquiring the means of payment ? They cannot exchange their pork, or beef, flour, whiskey, corn, or any thing which their soil products for those articles they consume. European ports by

unjust prohibitions and restrictions, arc shut against their produce. The cities and manufactories of the two Americas constitute their only market. Roads and Canals are the rem cdy. These denied us, we must enter into a non consumption agreement, as to any imported articles, change our taste, and abandon the use of what we cannot make. Thus we siall be independent in reality, as well as in name, of the regal powers on the other side of the great waters. If the general government, however, by a paternal exercise of the powers found in our excellent constitution, authorizing the making of internal improvements, would throw back amongst the people a portion of the money, which is constantly passing out of the country for merchandize and public lands, bj aiding the states to make roads and canals, that the farmer may carry off the accumulating productions of his soil and labor, without being subjected to thr present enormous tax, levied by bad roads and obstructed river navigation, upon every thing they raise for market, they could live in republican simplicity, and bv long lives of temperance, industry and economy, enjoy the rich and abundant fruits of an incomparable country. Settled in this excellent new territory, interspersed with fine streams, yet requiring improvement, a

sa'ubrious climate, and the be3t government under the high arch of heaven ; we must be indulged in claiming our just share ol its benefits We ask for an exact equality in all things, and no more. It the public treasury is to be unlocked for other pui poses than to pay the common debt, equity requires that a part of it be circulated wherever a pound ol tea is consumed, or a yard of British broadcloth is vended and worn.

humble attitude of begging tor those things as favors, which they should be left at liberty to demand as rights. Estimating these vested rights thus highly, we have been s artled at the boldness and apparent candour which has characterized the conduct of the southern states, in the stand which they have taken against internal improvements and the domestic system, which received their birth under the auspices of those powers. And finding these very states in your support for the presidency, with the ostensible object of putting a period to all further legislation favoiableto those measures to which we are so fit inly wedded, we are subjected to the unpleasant necessity of soliciting you to furnish us with your opinion on the following points, to wit : Do you believe that congicss has power to appropriate money from the common treasury of the Union, to make roads and canals ;

common treasure ol the Union amongst all its citizens. YTc seize upon the powers to regulate commerce, to provide for the common defence and general welfare, and to establish post offices and post roads, and tol y duties and imposts, to sustain us in the belief that congress is left neither upon constructive or doubtful ground, as to authority to adorn and bless the country with internal facilities, for the common interest and glory of the people, and to call into action, encourage and protect their industry. Nor are those powers upon which the agriculturalist and manufacturer rely, less necessary to the successful operations of their honorable 3 vocations, than indisprnsible to unite this great family of republics in a still closer bond of union, than without them, they can ever expect to arrive at. It may be emphatically said, that these powers constitute ur principal inheritance in the public purse.
