From the United Siati s Gazette.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Fellow Citizens— We arc told by
the advocates for State Hights, that
unless we resist the encroachments
of the general government, that the
state sovereignties will be merged
into one consolidated body. We
should treat this as a mere phantom
of the imagination, if we did net
know that it was a linnesse, resorted
toby artful politicians, to promote
their own ambitious views.
The consequences, however,which
may result from the promulgation
of such doctrines, arc sufficient to
alarm every friend of the Constitu
tion.
Resolutions were recently passed
by the legislature of Virginia, deny
ingthc right of the general govern
ment to make internal improvements
or to lay any duty upon foreign mer
chandise, for the purpose of protect
ing the national industry of the coun
try. At the same time when these
resolutions passed, the following re
solution was offered :
“ Resolved, That the Legislature
of Virginia will sustain the general
government in the exercise of its le
gitimate powers.”
This resolution passed—Yeas 12
—Nays TEN !
Yes, f llow-citizens, ten Senators
of the legislature of Virginia, during
a time of profound peace and tran
quility, voted that they would not
Support the general government, m
the exercise of its constitutional au
thority ’!
When wc recollect that several
others of the southern states have
passed resolutions denying the right
of the general government to exer
cise powers evidently delegated by
the Constitution. When we refl ct
upon the conduct of the executive
government of Georgia, in resisting
the execution of a treaty with the
Creek Indians —a treaty which had
been constitutionally ratified by the
President ami two-thirds of the Se
nate of the United States, and had
thereby become the supreme law oi
the land—a treaty, by which the
honor and good faith of this nation
were solemnly pledged to these
Children of the Forest, that they
should be protected in the enjoy
ment oftheir lawful rights. When
we reflect upon these circumstances
\vc cannot but consider that the Con
stitution is in danger—not from the
genera! government, but from th<
unfounded pretensions of State an
thorit ies.
What sort of a nation d gox -n
--ment these advocates for Nfnl.t Hights
desire, wc are not aware but as
Adiey wish the states to retai 1 all the
rights of sovereignty, the general
government would be but a shadow ,
like our confederation, wholly ineffi
cient, both in war and in peace
The utter incompetency of such
a government is well described in a
letter* from General 'A a hiicton to
n friend, dated (Iciober, 17».> in
which he says —“ The w ar, as you
have very justly observed has tt r
mmated most advantageously for
America, and a lair field is presented
to our vi w’ ; but 1 confess to you
fr< ely, my dear sir, t hat 1 do not
think that we possess wisdom or
ju tice enough to cultivate it pro
perly.
“ llliberality, jealousy, and local
policy, mix too much in all our pul
lie • ouncils, for the good govern
ment of the 1 nion. —ln a word, the
confederation appears to me to be
little more than a shadow, without
the substance ; ami the Congress a
img iiorv body, their ordinances be
ing Idtle attended to.
“To me it is a solecism in pol:-
tics , ***** Indeed one oi the most
extraordinary things in nature, that
we should confederate us a nation,
and yet be at raid to give to (he rulers
of that nation, who are the creatures
ot our own making, and appointed
lor a limited ami short duration, suf
ficient power to order and direct tin
affairs of the same.
“ From the high ground upon
which we stood, we are descending
into the x ale of confusion and dark
i ess ”
Such, fellow-citizens, was the de
plorable condition of our country, as
described bx \\ ashington himself,
mid from which wc were rescued by
adopting our present trappy I‘cnsti
tutiou. And shall we now contribute
to elevate those into power, who
avow their hostility to it •
No, fellow citizens, we are con
vinced that you will not, but that
you will give your support to this,
who reverence that Constitution. X.
who now administer it. withsomucl
credit to themselves and honor tc
our countrv.

From .Vths' Register
It has been intimated to us
from several quarter-, that our es
say " on agriculture ot the I mte<
States,” inserted in the Register o
the 24th uit was about to be publish
ed in pamphlet form. It would be at
atfection to say that we are not pleas
ed with compliments like this. fhc
essay has, also, long as it s, been
copied into many new-papers.
We have just received orders from
North Carolina tor 500 numbers ot
the wbwh co.,tain- th.T
essay, er many copies of tt mb-
iished in pamphlets. The first cm
not be furnished, but the last shai
be - upplied ; and, as the chief co
I will he in setting-up the type, wc an
I wifing to receive other orders, that
the ratfi of cost per copy may be re
duced, We shall, therefore, delay
the execution of this order for two
or three weeks, to afford time for
others. The essay will fill a whole
sheet of medium, or common-sized
paper, printed on the type usually
employed in this paper, m.l a few
additional facts shall be introduced.
I It 1000 copies are printed, they will
cost nearly three cents each If
-2000, not tv.o cent-, and less for a
greater number. We shall charge
only the actual exp-nsvs incurred for
paper and print ; and gentlemen will
be supp’i 1 wit!’ a> many copies as
the money w hich th. y forward shall
entitle them to receix e, a th rate
to bo established l.y the number
printed. They may be sent by
i mail, or will be forwarded as direct-
I ed.

the ratio of that interest to othei

some unlucky combination of inter
ests, It requires not much calcula

This is, perhaps, a fair history of
the protecting system, as practised
