faithful heart, native or foreign, which partakes Every extensive manufactory that depends on a foreign raw material, is extremely preca rious, because foreign laws, treaties, and wars may diminish or prevent the importation. But as cotton is raised by ourselves, and will ever be redundant, the cotton manufacture will rest upon a more certain foundation than a manufacture which should employ any other raw material whatever. the consideration of the people of the states east of the ship channel of the Hudson; that in every system of measures to promote the domestic or internal industry of those states, ⚫ endeavours should be made to avoid new calls for wood and fuel of every kind. This sugges14 tion is of a deeper intrinsic importance than may appear, at first view, to those to whom it is new. We will offer, as two examples, the British manufactures of iron, and the British manufactures of cotton. We believe that the permanent and extensive establishment of the British manufactures of iron, in the states east of the parts of the Hudson navigable by ships, would prove very difficult from the total want of mines, pit or fossil coal, from the scarcity of wood for making charcoal, from the great scarcity of peat and turf there, and from the scarcity of wood for fuel and buildings. But we believe, that the very small use of fuel in the cotton manufacture itself, and the limited The variety of fabrics, to the making of use of fuel by the people in that branch, which, which cotton can be applied, is a very imeffected by machinery, requires little fire to portant consideration in favour of attempting warm the small proportion of persons em- the cotton manufacture, in preference to any ployed, are circumstances plainly and greatly other. The stoutest and the coarsest blankets in favour of the adoption of the cotton branch can be made of the refuse cotton, and cambric in the eastern parts of the United States. It is muslins, of the most exquisite fineness, can certain, that wood is become extremely scarce also be made of cotton; the most beautiful in all the old counties east of Hudson's river, table-cloths and napkins, and coarse carpets; and that not one productive coal-mine has been the stoutest corduroys, and muslins light as discovered between the Delaware river and the air; dimities, Marseilles-quilting, shirting, eastern boundary of the United States. The sheeting, tickings, pillow-cases, jeans, jeanets, wood and timber of Maine are consuming with fustians, denims, cottonades, fine and coarse great rapidity, and since freights are reduced hosiery for every age and sex, pantaloons, by peace, will go forth in immense quanti- vests, mock cassimers, mock serges, mock ties. It is so distant from Connecticut, Rhode coating, mock cloths, neck and pocket handIsland and Providence, and Massachusetts pro- kerchiefs, lining and pocketings, dress and per, that it will become a dear, as well as a undress, and chamber gowns, bed and window mere temporary source of supply to them for curtains, furniture covers, cravats, swansdowns, timber and fuel, if manufactures by fire em- mole-skins, plushes, velvets, and in short vaploying numerous persons, who must be keptrious goods applicable, as usual, to every purwarm in a moist and cold climate, are to be pose, or as substitutes for other fabrics hereextensively and permanently pursued. The tofore made of wool, hemp, flax, silk, and true manufacturing policy of our eastern states hair. Such is the unlimited capacity of the is to carry to the utmost all household manu- native North American raw material, whose factures, and establish factories by labour, sav-future manufacture, under the protection of ing machinery at the heads of their ship or boat navigation, where they can derive the highest possible degree of benefit of their own wood and fuel, and of wood and fuel imported coastwise or from foreign ports. Cotton it will be found, therefore, is the properest raw material for them to employ.. The same remarks apply to New Jersey and Delaware in full force. If the north-eastern moiety of the United States shall forthwith establish extensive and profitable manufactures employing cotton, which can be raised in immense quantities in the southern states, it will bind the members of our union more and more together. To defend, promote, and preserve our union, is the fondest object of every sound mind, of every VOL.
