AMYNTOR. Tor the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO, Having lately had a conversation with a friend, who has travelled in Europe, and made a great many observations on men and governments, 1 have thought his sentiments, on the present temper of American parties, proper to be known. I have endeavoured to express the substance of them in the following remarks. FACTIONS are almost harmless in England— and as our language is the fame, and our form of government nearly similar, we are apt to conclude that faction-, will be harmless alfoin thi-, country. A great many persons seem to like the budle of wrangling parties, ami the Printers think their Gazettes insipid, and in danger of losing cuftoni, if they refufe to mix a portion of gall with their ink. They sometimes want fprightlinSfs, they are often barren of in formation—but their readers do not fay that they are too milky. Accordingly we fee the government bespattered, and the heads of de partments, and members of Congress, blacken ed; and ail the arts of infmuation and decep tion put in praiftice, to make the people as an gry as the writers seem to be. We are told that the measures of government have done but little good, and that littte was Wednesday, June 6, 1792. States; {epxm & \awwri) HOPE 5 not intended—that, however, they have done infinite mifchief, which was intended, and is a part oi a plan of iniquity contrived by those who administer the offices of the government. This evil, they tell us, is ft til spreading, and will be fatal to the property, rights and liberty of the many, in order by their plunder to ag grandize the few. That all these consequences are the more to be dreaded, and are the more certain, as the country is too extensive to be subject to one free government, and the consti tution has not made a proper definition and a clue separation of its powers. Let any man read the newspapers which have been publiflied for some time past, and judge what consequen ces the writers must intend to have drawn from their premises, and what is the tendency of the opinions they propagate so industriously. Doubt less these writers wife to persuade the people that what they tell them is true—and if the people can be brought fully to believe them—if they can fee the government and its officers in as odious a light as they are exhibited, the event is inevitable. The people having all power in their hands, will certainly use it to destroy a government that will destroy them., and which they are told has already made great progress the work. Inflammatory addrefles to the passions of men have a tendency to create disturbances and con vulsions in all countries—but they are peculiar ly alarming in our country from the nature of our government, and the temper of our citizens. In England, we fee, the most threatening ap pearances have not been followed by civil war, although from time to time it has been gene rally thought inevitable : but England is an island ; the sea like a band prefTes the State to gether and keeps it from breaking to pieces ; foreign enemies, stronger than itfelf are feared fufficiently to keep the sense of national union always strong. A King at the head of the force of the nation, and to whom all men of property cling with a confcieufnefs that all property will jbe set afloat with the government, is able to crufti the lirft riling against the laws. There is no legislative aflembly, subordinate to the Parliament analogousto our State governments, to collect the discontented together and to ena ble them to wield the lawful authority of a diftrift against the whole of the nation. More than all, habit has moulded them into one indivisible nation, and has given a fan&ity to the laws and constitution which no party man can invade without shocking all his adherents. Prosperous as our country is, and free and enlightened as our citizens are beyond the reft of mankind, we are so newly moulded together, we have so little to fear from other nations, and the sources ofdifcontent and division are so fruitful and various, that the love of good or der cannot be too fedulouflv cultivated—The government being the work of the people them ielves, and being their only security for the preservation of liberty, (hould be viewed with aflfeftion and supported with vigilance and care. It (liould be well watched, it is true, and if bad men gain an election, the only and proper re formation is to chufe better men in their pla ces. But let the friends of the union—let those who abhor civil ftrife look to it, left while they are unmindful of the turbulent and deftrut'tive deligns of the enemies of the constitution, a few million of the uncontradicted falfehoods which are spread about (hould have poisoned the minds of the people—like the eggs of the infe<st tribe they are deposited in every lurking place, to remain inactive till the firft season of ferment ation shall hatch a venomous and loathlbme race to canker and devour the fair fruits of which we already fee the blodbms. Our government is too new, and too feeble, and its powers too much divided with the State governments to bear the convulsions of vindic tive factions. Perhaps there is no class of men who are more interested in the preservation of the present constitution than the Printers— their business has grown and is growing furpri iinglv ; yet although full of federalifm, zeal and intelligence, it is painful to fee that they seem generally disposed to prefer the publication of such pieces as are unfriendly to the national au thority. What is this owing to ? Surely not to the desire of prostrating the government. Ge nerally fpealcing, they are principled against the fchetties of those who are laboring to fu'overt the union : for the fiiccefsful progress of their art depends on a free, firm government, and inter nal tranquility,more perhaps than any other bu siness whatever : The cause is to be fought ii) another quarter; the blame of men and mea fijrcs fells better than praise ; and, as a news paper is supported by curiofity,it maybe doubt ed whether the exclusion of such incendiary pub lications would not injure the circulation of the newspaper. Accordmgly, we fee that in every country the nexufpapers are almost er.clufivelv in the hands of those who complain of the ad ministration. Let the priuters go on and pub lifti—let the public hear all that the most angrv man has to fay : But let the printers observe that they ought to publilh the other fide of the question also ; that they ought to let the answer follow the charge, and that they are not bound as good citizens to publilh and repubtifli the falfeft and fouleft flanders of the principles of the constitution, and of the men who exercise its powers. PHILADELPHIA [Whole No. 524.] FROM THE AMERICAN MUSEUM. REFLECTION'S on the STATE of the ITNIOS, Concerning the manufafturei of the United States. IN purfuingthe confiderationof American ma nufactures as beneficial and neceilary to the southern states, it will be ufeful to take a curl'o ry view of the indications of attachment and disposition to them, which are discoverable in that quarter. Virginia appears to be making a greaterprtf grrft in merchant mills than any state in the union, though some are yet far before her in those beneficial works. Maryland and Delaware which are in the southern moiety, are second only to Pennsylvania in this branch. There is little doubt that more pig and tar iron is made to the southward of Pennsylvania, than to the northward of it. A lead mine has been opened in Virginia, whica is extending its supplies through the union, and promises fair to be coirt menl'urate with the present demand : and there is one, which is now worked, in the territory south of the Ohio. But no lead mines are in considerable operationinthe ftatesnorth or eatt of Virginia, though a fnr.ill beginniag upon one in the western part? of Pennsylvania is made. An alTociation in Virginia, another in the ter ritory south of the Ohio, and a company in the western distriCt of South-Carolina, have [provid ed themselves v.-ith carding and spinning ma chinery on the British plan, to manufacture their native cotton. The planters in the south ern states raise quantities of this raw material, unthought of before the war, and until the dif cuflions of the (übjeCt of manufactures, which took place after tiie treaty of peace. The fa mily manufactures in cotton are much greater in the four fouthemmoft states, than in the four eastern states. There are not wanting consi derable numbers of Jheep in the five southern states, yet by the two returns ofexports, it ap pears that no meo/has been sent from thence to fo reign markets. It has been couimoa to receive, wool in Pennsylvania from the eastern states, though they manufacture so much, but it is not known that any is ever received there for sale from the foutliern states, Wool has been trans ported to Salem in North-Carolina,and to Wui chefter in Virginia, from the city of Philadel phia, for the hat manufactory. There has been full as great a current ofe migration of flour mi/lcrs, black-smiths, timers, hat ters, cabinet-makers, dijlillers, coopers, &c. to the southern States from those north of them, in proportion to numbers as of farmers; so that the worklhops of the middle and northern states yield a double benefit to their fellow-citizens in the south, in supplying them with manufactures, and artizans, There is greater variety in distillation in ths four southern states than in the four eaflerr— that is, the manufactory is ejlablifhed on a bioader ba ft. It is also more certain in the south than in the north. In the latter, molasses is the prin cipal ingredient, and being from an external source, may be loft to the eastern distillers. Their manufactory is even now at hazard, un less they resort to the grain of the country to the southward of them. But in the southern states they manufacture spirits from molalTes, peach es, apples, several kinds of grain, and probably will, as their country is cleared, extend it to the grape. This has been tried with success in the experimental way, at Galliopolis, near the Scioto, The legislature of North-Carolina made a loan of money since the late war, to aflift the introduction of the paper manufactory. An affbeiation, containing forty of the most respeCtable planters arid farmers, in the western , diftriiSt of South-Carolina, has been eftabliihed within a few years for the promotion of manu factures, and agriculture. A fubfeription to the amount of about 25,000 dollars has been made in the territory south of the Ohio, for the purpose of carrying on the cotton manufactory. An indication of zeal not equalled in any mid dle err northern state, corifid?ring that the whole population of the government is 3 3, 000 whites, and j,ooo blacks. The preparation of tar, pitch, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, and rosin, in North-Caro lina and its vicinity, may bedeeiried a manufac ture as justly as the making of linseed oil, pot ash, or ordinary tanning. A very small quanti ty indeed, of these articles, will be made in the dates north of Virginia, because nature forbids; but they will, from obvious reasons, increase in the south. During the existence of the state impdft laws, twoof the foQthern states (Maryland and Vir ginia) imposed extra tonnage, not only upon fo reign (hips, but upon those of the other states, by which they evinced a strong disposition tt> encourage the manujaflurc ofjhips. The fame two states laid duties on the importation of spi rits manufactured in the other parts of the union, The state of Maryland imposed considerable protecting duties to encourage their own manu factures. The legislature of Maryland have encouraged the glass manufactory in that Itate by a conliderable loan. That of Virginia pasT ed a fpetial ast since the peace, to encourage the manufiftory of fnuff and tobacco. There ale more factories of cordage and cables intwo of the'fouthern states, Maryland and Vir
