In the Isgvee in which our own government has llicrilhed these principles has the national Ltyiueh and character risen ; aixl where, ter t.lcy have been neglected or vio- Lied, private happiness and public cha- Litcr, domestic tranquility and external have been hazarded or loft. I Irwas the difgraccful attack of a fe- Icral adminiltraiion upon the freedom of lie' profs, bi' the paiiage of a Sedition lift, that cafta fire-brand into the midlt E the natibn, whose .baleful effects wore lily arretted by the removal of the cause ■inch produced them. I Jt was the impoftion of taxes, odious B 1 heir nature, and oppreftive in their a- Ijunr, for artiheial and UHgitimate pur ples, that produced one infurreflion and ■enact'd another, that eftabiilhed a holt I; political inft laments in the fliape of Bienne officers, and that fcattcred far id wide the convkdion that the gqvern- Eent had other views than ihofe which re id tofupplying its hand! wants.

Without entering in to the Georgia claim, it was certainly an object of public expediency, that the pretentions of that Hate ihouid be quiet ed. The facrifice, if it be one, is not too great, that enables congrcfs to make fach difpofiiions with regard to the Mil- « liilippi Territory, as may promote its rapid population, and thereby eppofe a formidable frontier to the foreign pro. vin eof Louisiana. This unqueitionabiy is the mod vulnerable part 01. the United States, whether coniidcrcd in a military or political view. Every allurement fhouid be held forth to attract such emi. grants irom the Atlantic dates, as, iiom confirmed habits, and family attach merits, are bound by the itrongell ties to the ge. neral confederation. Ibe Mifiiifippi 1 cr ritory cannot be too icon elevated to the rank of a fuvcrcign date, when it will 1 acquire greater rcipeldabiiity and confi deracion titan in its picfent colonial con duion. The qaeliion reipedlng the place ot a depoh 1 tor the American commerce, whether at New-Orleans, or above or be low, will it is to be apprehended, in. ; voice the United States in more than di. j plomatic difcuili jn. It iscilential, there i fore, that the earliest attention would be I given by congrcfs to every thing that concerns the Mhiilfippi ierntory.
