too much reafon to believe that the

to the preparation for war by gen
tlemen who rely wholly upon the
embargo as a coercive meafure, and
declare that as long as it continues,
lbould be made with a view to a

Your ilatcs, ypur corporations,
and your citizen?, own between ele

ed debr, about one fifth cf , the
whole, and nea;ly- half of what is
owned in America j if you feparaic,
this will be forever loth You aifo
own one half of all the flock'in the
national bank, which flands to the
credit of tnc citizens of this radon
—-this coo will be loft. You are
now a member of a g r eat nation;
capable, when replete with popula
tion, or calling si many energies
into cxereife, as all Eurcpe. ft you
feparate, you will become a lrr.all
nation, with a power to the north
and north eaft, which in thirty years
wiii be your fuperior, and one to
the weft and fouth weft, which now
p ■ Iff fibs three times your ftrength.
You are noM, r.s a memdtr of the
na ion, proprietors of more fertile
land, wdt or the Alleghany, than
all New-England, which will fur
mfh iaims tor your poflerity fora
century ; you will then ha/e to fur
nilh .1 foreign nation every forty
yem, with as much phyfical ftrength
ar.d aftive'labor r.s you now poflcfs.
You now have nearly a whole con
tfr.ent to iffift in defending your
rigins j you will then have to de
fev.u tdcra tor yojurfelvcs cgaiaft a
great part of that continent and ail
the reft of the world. You have
now to bear only a lmall proporti
on of the cxpenccs of a govern
ing in i you will then have a civil
govtrnuH iic of your own to fupport,
ant, a, you arc a commercial peo-’
pic, there will attach to you all the
MO ■
foreign relations. You noxf hav
the trade cf the whole nation fecur
ed to you—the produfts of the
A land’ flatus, and of the regions
cf the Miffifnppi and her tributary
wafers. A trade which will in
creafe faflcr than your means to
embrn'e it which will fland unri
valled, and fed no parallel in the
fcope cf nature j you will then in
your commerce be limited to a
friull fphere, with few reiourccs,
wifh few produfts to export, and
be Ef: to fcramble in the commer
cial world for a mean and precarious
exiflence. Do not plume your
ftives with the belief, that under a
feparadon you will. be the. carf>ers
for North America. If you fepa
ratc, a deadly hofliiity will < xifi
between you and the other ftater,
and fo far as they rn ey want fo
reign tonnage, which will not con
tinue for many yeans, they will fp*m
mo ives of policy, give encourage
ment to thole who arc molt remote
and you will be wholly excluded
fr< m their commerce. Do not be
lieve that you can form a lading
connexion with England ; fne will
foothe .and cards you for the mo
ment, but by her you will foon be
deffried. It t# ytur interefts and
your ptirfuics that excite her hatred,
and not the fiv>ur and tobacco of the
middle, r.cr the cotton, rice, and
Indigo, of the fouthern dates; and
the moment you are feparated from
them, Jhe has every reafon to be
come friend, ar.d even to pur
chafe a right to thtir commerce,
by granting them a free trade to,
while they exclude you from, the
Vl til-Indies, and poffibly by cthtr
corcefh ns.
I r a reparation flu uld unfortu
na ely take place, the period- can
not be remote when the other Bares
will be in dole fntndfhfp with
England, and you will have to feck
for commerce and friends on the
comment of Europe. What have
you to hope for there ? A tempo
rary advantage, growing out of their
immediate want of tonnage, which
will fpeedily be fupplied, and from
time to time your Hupping will be
excluded from their ports, by re
curring to the colonial fyftem.
Will you fubfbtute advantages fo
precarious and uncertain for thole
which you poflcfs—incalculable in
their extent, and interminable in
the'r duration ?
We live in an age which wilt ex
cite the wonder, if not the unbelief
cf futute generations.—lt is not by
the fword alone that the difturbers
of the World’s repofe, whether
French or Englifh, achieve their
vft fees. In their train march ci
vil itnfe, party, fufpicion, jealoufy,
anti hatred. Thefe are their pio
neers, and when they have made
a fare lodgment ir, the devoted
country, the main body of their
troops advance—a batcie is fought
and a nation ruined.
