M th GAS.tr If of the ONI rim STATES.
MR. FENN'O,
A WRITER in a laic Wilmington paper, in
fornt (Iti&torca on the oew proposed Cotifli
lution for the State ot flclawate, rrprbbalei the
article which iroder»th« Clernv ineligible to feats
in the Le^ifUture —thii he corifidets as a vtolauon
of .equal tights, a* degrading that order ul men to,
the condition of (laves, ar.d the offspring of flives.
In anfwcrto thcfe remarks, a writer tfi the Tame
payer oblcrtefr***" If there cxift* a c4«fi tff men
who by the influence-of their proUfQon,
or by any other iufluence, exacpt that of talents
end virtue, could gain feats in the Legtflature, such
clifirof met* faobld be excluded. Is there no]
dtngtr to be apprehended from eloquent and
crafty Priests ? Could not such command' a4l «br-l
1 votes »od all the influence of their congregations ?
1 He (word of religious discord, which has denrofr
ed more than plague, peftilcnce and famine, has
loft its edge in thtfc fhtcs. We have seep in a
public piotcfficm, Christian Mmifters of dtifeient
denominations walking arm in aim with a Rabbi
of the Je*s. Cut is there no danger of foment
mgafrefh trilgiona difienttons, by exciting in the
laity of different denominations, a conceit for the
eanyingof their refpeft've Priests ? Or is there uo
danger that such conufts would be excited ?"
Oft which a correspondent remaiks—That the
reasoning contained in the above quotation, is fub
veifive of every principle of right, justice and 1
freedom. To point out, and ftigmatiae any cla&
or profetfion of citizens, by disqualifying diftinc
tioirs, is cleat!y an'invafion of ludcfeafible righi* ;
to deprive them of their rank in focifty, antece
dent to any ad by which they have incurred pte
n.foment, is unjust ; and a community to hold a
perpetual proscription over the heads of a panicu- 1
lar body of men, is an outrage against libeity that
every one pofleflitig a paiticleof benevolence irttlft
revolt sr.
But why talk of u eloquent and crafty PriefU"—
are tht re not eloquent and crafty Lawyers, Mer
. chairs, Physicians, Farmers and others ?— 41 Cun
ning and cralty" are convertible teims, fomctimes
meaning one thing, and fbmetimes another. In
Merchants, Lawyers, Farmers, See. they Agnify
address and found reafomog—but applied to the
Clergy, they always have a wicked meaning. An
implacable spirit towards the Clergy, has been dis
covered in many recent publications—for wbai
good rcafon does not appear. Certain it is that no
defcriptior* of pcrfons have (hewn thernfelves
greater friends'to liberty and the independence oi
the United States, than ttf* Cleigy. But there are
some individuals in emcmg rts, who arc so te
nactons of the rights of man, that they wilh to dfc
i pi ive the people of thenght oi i hiuking and
, ing for themlclvcs. Tbeie cieclatmeis for the peo
» pic, are for taking the people under their own
■ (ruardiaiiihip—and to prevent the people from
being imposed on by craft and cunnirtg, they would
deprive them of the right of electing those whom
the people may suppose the best qualified to P'°*
mote their interefL— It would be just as wife to
prohibit the people from electing any m>n who
wea«s a black coat, or a wig, as to exclude 'he
Clergy from the Legislatures in this country ; where
the clerical proleflion boasts ot no legal andexclu
five privileges, and where it can never be made an
/ engine of, unless by unjust clcrgymcn
i fh.micV be compelled to form combinations in their
own defence.

RtH.ECTIONS on the STATE «f lht UNION'.
Concerning tht manufaHtifes of tilt Umtei States.
(coHTtUuZtS.)
IT :i an obvious truth, that every thing i<;
more valuable in proportion to the number
and extent of it? iifei, or the pwrpofes to which
it cm be advantageously tr;>iriie*l. Flas, hemp,
wool, iilk, cotton, incline, tobacco, hides, iton,
wood, nain, and cattle, are valuable, wliert
they are wanted merely a? exports; but they
ttanif'efUy acquite a nfew v.il-ie, when wanted
to eAiploy, accommodate of hduTrfli manufac
ture!. In places from whenee those artitlfei
cannot be exported, without a great expenl'e of
t r.uiijortapoii, it is very desirable to give theli)
this/r'cuii life : but in situations too inteiior trt
V am-ftpd by the demand for exportation, and
where of enurfe they are not required for the
parjofes of external commerce-, this new use
mail be created for tlifcm, or thr*. ni/7 r.tl be prc
iucei, and agriculture will confeqnently lan
guid!. This view of the fuijeft (uggefts the
necessity cf manufactures to the
prafperitv of the interior and weAern country
as before intimated. Nor will thele idem ap

" most remote, and is beyond the Ohio, has been
creatvd Core the late war. Its Pittance is a

be fafcly affirmed, that at tho feats of justice,
