A light boat and u strong arm in an exc-rcisc be bad had considerable experience, together with the tide which set strongly in his favor, en abled him in a few minutes to cross the channel, and double the point. * ' -' He was not mistaken in his fears.

Among the ancient Egyptians, the women were occupied abroad in trade, merchandize, and agriculture, and descend ing to’periods less remote, we find that in Leaser Asia, where it would seem women were far -from being so much despised and neglected as in many other parts-of the world, even those of ;he first quality were' not ashamed to perform the .office of a washerwoman; and asimjlar practice -afterwards prevailed in Greece. • .. In .the heroic ages, the Grecian wives and daugh ters,.of whatever quality, were not brought up to idleness. Fefielope, queen of the famous Ulysses, is so frequently introduced by Homer at her loom, that almost every one has heard the story of Pen- dope's wet?. The famous Hcllen, while confined by the besiegers of Troy, employed herself in an extraordinary piece of embroidciy, which represen- ledinosit of the battles fought between the Greeks and the Trojans; and Andromache, when she heard of the death of Hector, embroidered a reptesenta- (ion of tfiat tragical scene; and ndoiiied it ji-ith llowcrs. But such soft, employments, and such works of taste, were not the sole occupations of the women, in the times we are delineating. The same Artdroinnche, Who with her needle, painted the fall of the hero of her country, was ut asha med to'feed and take gate of the horses of that he- .ro-wlien living. ■. .. Beside the arts of weaving and embroidery, which lyere not unknown to the women in the patriarchal ages, the Grecian fair employed themselves in spinning,.which they performed standing, and m every other branch of the manufacture of cloth;- a custom- wliic.li continued during the most polished periods of Grecian history.—Alexander the Great, and many other heroes and statesmen, wore gar ments span and woven by their wives and sisters. During the chivalrous ages in Europe, various kinds of needle work formed a material part of fe- mate employment; and many women oC the first tank were themselves taught, and instructed their daughters in the arts of flowering anp CTVy..l»nr, which they practised to.such an extent, that much oClhe furniture of their houses was decorated in this manner with their ownjinnds. , -King Ediyard-the cider was particularly attentive to the education of his children, and impressed them in early life with a sense or the duty ofindus- try. 'His-daughters were instructed in all those bi-anches of learning which were proper to adorn their.minds”-; and in tfje intervals of study, they ex ercised their distaffs, or employed thcms.elves. in tjeedle'woik. These industrious habits didmot dispiirage them in the eyes of the olbei sex; but on the cohifoiy rgconnnendeil them to the esteem oven of foreign, potentates; and four of Edward’s daughters were married to foreign princes, kings and emperors.—His sous were also so studious, that like Plato’s philosophers, they” were masters of every useful science, and fit to assume the reins of government'With dignity and wisdom. i In these sentiments I fully concur; and I have j Jicved from those dangerous shocks which sprm» [ been thus explicit in ithe statement of them, that ] from diversities of opinion ujion constitutional there infiy be no room for misapprehension as to | points of deep interest; and, in tho meantime, my own views upon the subject.

The regret, however, which I might otherwise -.xpcriencc on this account, is relieved by the hope, that riiy fellbw-citizuns of North Carolina, preferring, with characteristic good sonse, results to speculations, will be as well satisfied, and as effectually aided iu the intelli gent bestowment of their suffrages, by a brief but cx-plicit avowal of my opinions, as they would be by.ap elaborate dissertation npon subjects w hich have been so thoroughly aud diffusively debated. Although tuy official acts iu relation to the Protective System, might well bo regarded as rendering the avowal unnecessary,' I think it, ne vertheless, propcr’to say, ihut I believe the estab lishment of commercial regulations, with a view to the encouragemen t of domestic products, to be wilhiu the constitutional power of Congress— Whilst, however, I have entertained this opinion, it has never been my wish to sec the power in question exercised with an oppressive inequality upon any portion ol’our citizens, or for the aiivaii- tage of one section of tho Liiiou at the expense of another. On the contrary, 1 have at all times believed it to bi the sabred duly of those w ho are entrusted with the administration ol" the federal government, to direct its operations iu a^manniT best calculated to distribute as equally impossible its burthens aud blessings amongst the several States and the people.

Banner. Detartmejct or Wap., > April 17, 135-1. £ My Fi tends: Yourgieat father, the President of the United States, lias recently been informed, that a change has probably taken place in the sen timents, you-have heretofore entertained, on the subject of a removal to tlio country, west of tho Mississippi, and that propositions from the govern ment having that object in view, wouhl be favourably received by-you. Satisfied as the President is, that.this measure can afonc secure ;o you perma nent prosperity;-and lay the solid foundations pf your future improvement and civilization, and pre pared ns lie ever has been to make veu oilers, which shall not be only just, but liberal, he has in structed me to address you npon tho subject, ami to make known to you the stipulations he is will ing to grant, so far as ffis authority extends. I have therefore to request, that".-you will take the matter into your serious eonsidciation, aiid com municate to me your ultimate decision. The President is willing to enter into an arrange ment, for your removal west oflhc Mississippi, up on the following general principles : 1. That a country sufficiently extensive and fer tile, shall be distinctly matked out, west of the territory of Arkansas, for you and your brethren, where they now are. 2. That tiiis country shall be corneyed to you qy patent, under tiic provisions of the act, 1CS0, anil that it shall be forever without the boundaries of any state or territory. 3. That you shall have all the powers of self- government so far as may be compatible with that general supervisory authority, which it is necessary Congress-should exercise over you. 4. 'I hat you shall have the privilege of appoint ing an agent, who shall reside at Washington, to communicate your claims and wishes to the gov ernment ; and who shall be j>aid by the United States. 0. '1 hat if Congress assent to ihe measure, you shali be allowed a delegate to that body, and sheil also, when your improvement and other circum stances will permit, and when Congress think proper, be placed in the relation of a territory. That white persons, unless specially author- umeut referred to, and have been so extensively i iz'e-.l by the laws of the U nited States, slirdl be ex- promulgated, that it i.- ttuneccssarv for me to re peat "hem here. Subsequent reflection and ex perience nave confirmed my apprehensions of the (.quenees which would probably flow irom thp usurpation of appropriations for in ternal improve cuts", with no better rule for the government of Congress than that of .which 1 eluded from your country. 7. That you shall remove to your new country at the exjreuse of the Uniied Staigs, iu either of the following modes you may prefer. 1. By a communication to be allowed to indivi duals or families. 2.
