Besides this deep alienation of so many citizens from the intnreets of the State, theie are local jeaJoustei and diversities of inter, and eonAcimj claim and disunion, and disgraceful apathy and inaction; and industry is crushed, and enterprise is paralyzed,' and energy is subdued, aid there is a constant draining of ibe populntion and resource of the Stale by emigra tion ; in abort, that lamentable condition nf things-, of which U are now aacare, and whkh the Com mittee profess so 'sincerely to lament. .,.v Will this alienatioa of feeling be denied, and will it be said tbat other causes bagvenqnir-l to rm.
