XhttGoTcrninenttar.not bcbad which
.rr the r hjppines ot a pco-
h the'r, : - 'ton of the fruits of
their labor, tnd oi their moral indepen
dence. I should not err if I. were to add,
that i s repression of that speculation
which is ever prone without labor to a
rnass wealih at the expence of the in-,
dustry or others, is an additional evi
dene e of Us coodntss. The first end
hit been completely attained bj the A-
merican Government. The last has been
ittaincd in a certain degree ; and it is
tKYond doubt to' the agency of the Go-
xtrrment, either posiiiTe or negative,
in this result, that it owes the incessant
cilumoy that traduces all its measures.
Tha the moral attributes 01 treedom
have bcCl maintained in all their purity,
U nroved b? the liberty , we miRht add
the licemicmsness, with which the Ad
ministriiton is attacked j by the in re
trained richts of conscience by me
universal security of life and. property ;
em! by the undiminished enjoyment of
evry political ngnr ever posscssza uy a
cMJixed'natiorj. " '
That the fruits of their labors are se
cured more happily than in any other
community that exists, will appear ma
nifest to any.one who dispassionately re
tard! "obi sets that fall under tbe cogni
zance of hi? senses, without suffering
himself to Be led astray by idle clamor
or malevolent misrepresentation. Ask
the Planter or the Farmer, whether he
has any apprehension of being unjustly
despultd of his property, either by the
Government or any individual, and he
wi:l tell ypu, No. Ask him whether he
cannot obtain for his crops a price that
yields bim a handsome profit, and he
will answer, Yes. It is true, that with
respect to the solitary article of tobacco,
the price is much depressed below its
ordinary rattf. Iow however, as it is,
it stiUaffords a small profit. Were not,
this the -case, still the raisers of this
commodity would have the candor to
tcimit, lhat it has always been sub.
j d to an annual oscillation, -rising at
enc time immoderately hich, and falling
at another to a correspondent depressi
c n ; and that those who rear it arc ge.
lur-Uy in affluent circumstances, are
able toktep it for a better market, and
attin l:ct, with regard to it, merchants
ss well as pUr.ur.'' Nur will he deny
that the ground devoted to this drug
wouli, if applied 10 the cultivation or
Krain or grass, yield an abdant Sc prof-table
harvest. Wiih regard to every
othc product of Agriculture, the sale is
br sk, the price liberal,; andthe profit
handsomr. When it is added, that this
is not only thecwe now, but lhat it has
liktwise-b;alhe case lor tbe ten past
ye4n,ihe nips?. satisfactory evidence is
fur- ished of ihc ample protection of Go
vf innJ'nt. For during this period, the
state of the foreign world has been in
finitely chscquered, and it would be ab
surd to ascribe an effect permanently
the same to causcs o constantly vary
ing and dhslmtlar. It is impossible to
omit noticing here ihe mistaken though
general conjiclion that every thing de
pends upon the state of our relation with
foreign nations that it is owing entire
ly to thetf dentand for our products that
re ire a prosperoui and apregtessive
coma.utity.. . .. V; ' "
If facts prr anything, they prove
thn the increase of our wealth and num
Urs his btcn greater while outre!!.
r.s vl-h fotergn natioos have been dis
uiUd than wlien.they'have been traij
;ul. And the reason is obvious. 0ur
cl fftrtnets with those nations ' have
?r"r,g from their differences with each
other, which have invariably by dimtn
is'iir g among them the'dais of cultiva
tor atihe same time that they augment
ed 1 he mass cf consumption, raised the
price of our txportsand increased the
demand for them. Such has been the
influence of these causs?, that it would
ret perhaps be extravtfganf to say that
the demand hasbeen greater by one Jxalf
than it wcuM bve been under ordinary
circumstances, ar.d the price elevated in
n correspondent degree ' Combining
these two circumstances, it follow that
ihe aggregate sumecelvcd for our ex
ported products has been rather more
than doubled. From ibis amount, how
ever is to be deducted' a considerable
um losrby the outrages and depreda
tions cf the belligerents. . - The natural
v . .
tendency of -these nas been to increase
intms country me price 01 uum
goods ; but still o much has their price
at the manufactories been depressed by
the circumstances growing oo: of War,
that notwithstanding the great advance
put upon them here, to cover the risks
of the sea, It is notoriously true that they
have generally been "sold here at prices
that have jwl exceeded ihe common
peace prices. -
All things considered, it may be ques
tioncd whether.wc do not derive greater
benefits from tbe present embroiled stale
cf commerce, notwithstanding,the pro
fiigate extent to which injustice is car
ried, than we should reap from the pro
foundest peace. At.any rate, it cannot
be disputed, that the country is growing
eviry day in wealth and numbers ; that
this, growth is the result of, honest in
dustry and enterprize ; that it exhibits
itself first in the improved condition of
individuals, and terminates in the more
imposing and splendid displays of siate
or national munificence, engaged in aid
ing and effecting great and durable me
morials of the spirit and resources of an
intelligent and wealthy community.
All scepticism on this head will va
nish before a combination of facts daily
Dassir.er before our tyes. Who, for inH
s'ance, belonging to any of the produC
live classes of society that is industrious
and frugal,is to be found in the wide ex
tent of ihe republic, that does not pros
sper, that is not entV.ed to marry at an
early age, to maintain comfortably a fa.
mily, to settle them reputably, and at
thejclosebf life to die richer than he
was"at his settlement in the world ?
Ca&: your eyes around you, my fellow
citizens, and descry, if you can, any man
of this description that fails in accom
plishing the virtuous objects of his am
bition? None are to be found. Where
such effects either do not exist or are
rare, depend upon it, the: political and
social organization is wise. It com
pletely answers the end for which all
communites are associated and all go
vernments formed. So far as they ac
complish these ends they are blessings.
It is only when they fail to insure them
that they are curses, worse perhaps than
barbarism itself, inasmuch as man in a sa
vage state Expecting but Iktle is but little
disappointed at the narrow enjoyments
that fall to his lot ; while civilized man,
expecting much, is keenly alive to the
successive abortions of hope that under
despqtic regimes may be said to consti
tute his life.
Look my fellow citizens still further,
Carry your view from the prosperity
of the individual, from the comparative
ly feeble fruits of his labors, to the works
of associated men. Contemplate the
roads, the bridges, the canals, that are
progressing or are fully made. Whence
the immense fund fronwhich the means
far these works vrhos benefit is brought
home to the door of every man, are
drawn ? It is the surplus wealth of in
dividuals, the redundant wealth which
remains after effecting all the interest
ing personal objects directly connected
with tbe comtort ot lammts. as in most
othercountries, these munificent works
are not the offspring of oppressive taxes
that literally take bread from the mouth
of poverty : they are not the imposing
memorials of despotic power, mere in:
tent upon itsiown glory than the pub
lic good: no they are the spontaneoui
growth of individual wealth and of pub
lic sentiment ; they are the proud tro
phies' of frecdom SOLON.

TBE CRISIS IS AT HAXD
TO.TJlEXtECTORS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
If The ensuing election of Representa
tives was Advocated by the Federal par
ty on common principles land motives,' it
might bfc deemed superfluous to address
you on the subject. But the reasons on
which you are urged to elect the favor
ites of Federalism, surpass the bounds
of all anticipated calculations; thty stag
ger the credulity of an astonished pub
lic';' they alarm us with "the dreadful
prospect of Rebellion and War ; they
rouse the patriotism of intelligent minds,
and' wake from the sleep oMages the
GuarJIan Spirit of the Country. The
Federalists declare, They xuill hdv'c a
House of Refiretentatives.' Why ?
Br cause it is necessary to " 'oppose the
"execution of. lawsr to1iitu t persisted tn.
mttii ana tvtuje resxsiea, ' is uiuicuu
to obtain your .belief to this bold, 'unpa
ralleled declaration. , Thefmiud revolts
with horror from the awful assertion,
pnd in the honesty of 'truth doubts the
existence of a fact which goes to the
ruin of the country. You believe there
cannot be men breathing the pure air of
American freedom, who would destroy
tbe laws which secure it. , You ; doubt
that Federalists, among whom you see
your pers--nal friends, your esteemed
advisers, your beloVed companions, can
form a design so terrible in its princi
ples so destructive in its consequences
so .totally ruinous to yourselves, your
children, your country. ' Burit is sa-;
credly true. The Boston Resolutions,
he Speech of the Hon. H.'G. Otis, at
a meeting of 3000 people , the Circular
Address, signed -by official characters,
the Federal newspapers, hve again and
aain repeated to you the deleterious
advicr choose' such men (o the various
offices of the State Government, as will
oppose the execution of Law" - The.de
cLrjtioii is not more horrible than irue.
It speaks to you in a language which
should sound in your morning medita-
jons and your nightly dreams. As you
love your country, asf you value the ex
istence of the Republic as your chil
dren and your fire-sides are dear and va
luable to your hearts, pause at the mo
ment of Election, and determine for
yourselves and posterity, whe'her your
vote shall aid in the tlertion oP,men to
oppose the execution of Lata !
The law cannot be opposed without
the shedding of blood. If disappoin'ed
pattizans will oppose its execution, men
who have sworn on thealtar of patriotism
to support the Constitution, will defend
it with their lives. If opposition' suc
ceeds, and the execution of a law is ob
structed, the government is at an end.
Why should congress legislate, if their
legislation is ineffectual ? Why have we
officers of government, if popular riots
are to supercede the laws ? Why trou
ble; yourselves to elect national repre
sentatives,' if men, wiser than the law,
are to be consulted about its propriety,
and their pleasure asked before it can go
into operation ? Why have a national
and state government, if one is to be set
in opposition to the other, and thus both
be destroyed ? - '
You enjoy much happiness. The e
vils which it is told you afe abroad in
the country are of very uncertain ap
pearance many of them are the child
ren of a delirious Imagination, the
' phantoms of the mind's creation.' But
be they tver so numerous, the CONSTI
TUTION of the U. States is the ark of
your, safety. This is the Temple of
your Liberty Here stand the columns
:jf your national greatness. There is
he altar on which yciur patriotism must
be kindled, destroy this
And where is that Promethean heat
Tfit can tXit light relumine ?
For the 83ke of 'yjbur country, your
children, pause before you vote ! Re
oppoiti n member that to the execution
of an acknowledged law, Is jdestTuction
to the Constitution. .If you vote for a
man who will ' resist the execution of
law, ;" it may be the last vote you will e-
ver give as a citizen oi ihe Americanlle
public. But you believe 'he intention of
the party is only peaceable resistance
Altho circular letters were written by
their first officers to the executive ma
gistrates of several statesTorthe purpose
of preparatory organization j although in
Congress they have declared it expedi
ent to obtain a separation of the States,
44 forcibly if they must s" yet you how
believe the intention of this threatened
resistance, is only peaceable opposition.
Would to Heaven you may be right.'
But "Remember resistance is avowed,
not against the passing of an act, but a
gainst the execution of lavv. .This
opposition is menaced, not against what
hereafter may possibly be done, and
which. such a threat may prevent, jbut
against what exists,hich must be car
ried into operation ; which ,wtii be. exe
cuted until it is regularly repealed, let
the violence Jof opposition be ever so
outrageous. vV-;.,V-,. i'f
Do you wish the law amended ? Is
it by opposing its execbtioti that your
wishes can be gratifiecl.?3 Submit to its
execution, 4jut constifutibhajly ask for
its: repeal. Do not elect men to the
State Legislature for ;the avowed pur
pose of opposing-the execution of nation
al laws. Set not the Commonwealth
in a quarrel with the great '.confederacy
of which shed ihe chief and ihe glory.

Your K t prcse n itati ve will not sacrifice

tion ,y he) will norfayor febellion to gra
tify any man's covetousness tff poWer?
j This is a delusive confidence It is
ruinous to ryou it ,will. be a source of
infinite vexation and distress. When
did ever Federalists desernhe standard
of their leaders ? WhoeyeVofjhe par
ty dared to contend with Uhe objects of
the party ? Froth the choTcebf a Sena

lie ; irom the bold Resolutions jwhich
threatened to unfurlv theArnerican
banners igainst the imperial Standard,"
to a formal reply to brainary, executive
communications, who ever found the
Federalist; daring enough to stray, from
the ranks of his party ? How rare, how
noble is the adventurous . courage that
can break through the fetters of party
attachment I Expect it not. , Put not to
such. a test, men whose best intention
could not resist the torrent with which
i hey would be compelled to struggle;
Place riot your friends in the hazardous
dilemma of opposing the execution of
the; laws,, or beingdenbunced by those
whom they formerly estcejned Jt would

BY THE GOVERNOR

TIT HERE AS, by an Inquest taken at the
vv house of. Jeremiah Gaddj, in Anson
ooonty; on the fourfh da of the present month.
before Adam Lockhart, Coroner thereofr upon
the view of tbe body ot JOHN MAY, then
and there lying dead, it appears that a certain
RICH ARP FAIR CRAWFORD, late of
the said County, feloniously, voluntarily, and of
his .malice aforethought, did discharge a guK
loaded witn forty or ntty shot, which, entered
in ana upon tne ten part ot the belly ot tbesaid
John May, and made mortal wour.d,whereby
he instantiy dted ; and that the said criminal
has made his escape : And it beine further re
presented that the murder was cippst cruel and
unprovoked; that the crimmid has! fled be
yond, or out of the jurisdiction of . this State ;
aod that, from the large connections and influ
ence of the said Richard Fair Crawford, it is
apprehended he will not be brought ta justice
Now, therefore, I, BEN J AMIN SMITH,
Governor of the Stale of North-Carolina; pur
suant to an act of the General Assembly, passed
at Ralegh, on the 26; h December, 1800, do
