The cotton, tobacco and rice, of the South; the wheat and flour of the Middle States; and the lumber, beef, pork, corn, corn meal, and (he was Iabout to add, said Mr. P., the fisheries, but these the war has already annihilated) of the North and East. The price of all these, as well as others, the produce of our soil, must be greatly reduced, or the quantity diminished to that of our own consumption, while, at the same time, the price of all those articles for which we are, and must be dependent upon foreign nations, such as sugar, coffee, teas, &c., which are now considered as necessaries of life in every family, must be enhanced beyond all calculation. Although the effects of this embargo and nonintercourse will be felt severely in almost every part of the United States, yet, said Mr. P., it must fall with peculiar hardship on those States where a great proportion of our shipping is owned, and which have sometimes been called the navigating States. The war, it is true, has already, in a great measure, destroyed their navigation; and the embargo now comes in to complete the destruction of that part which the war had left them. In 1810, the whole tonnage of the United States was estimated to be 1,424,781, and of this the New England States and the State of New York owned 881,840, leaving, for all the other States, but 542,944, and of this whole tonnage, Massachusetts alone owned 495,203. In nearly two hundred years have the people of Massachusetts and the East been accustomed to obtain a subsistence for themselves and families by commerce. Situated, as many of them are, along the seacoast, on a hard, sterile soil, and in a severe climate, their ships are their all. Deprived of these, they have nothing left. Can you expect, said Mr. P., to change the habits of these people, or to stop them in those pursuits to which they have so long been accustomed? As well might you attempt to change the regular succession of Summer and Winter, of day and night; as well might you attempt to stop the ebbing and flowing of the sea. lions. The amount of the double duties on imports was estimated at five millions of dollars; the residue was to be derived from the direct tax, and from the internal duties imposed during the last session of Congress, together with the proceeds of the public lands. To make good the deficiency of the imports, and to pay the increasing interest of the war loans, an additional sum of not less than five millions of dollars must be raised, either by direct taxes, or from other internal resources. How, it may be asked, can the people of this country, with little or no market for their produce, and with the enhanced prices of all foreign articles, pay annually by internal taxes the enormous sum of from ten to twelve millions of dollars? 6 The President, in his Message at the opening of the present session, has told us that "the war is illustrating the capacity and the destiny of the United States, to be a great, a flourishing, and a powerful nation." That the United States, if left to themselves, are destined to be great, flourishing, and powerful, few, perhaps, will doubt. But, sir, they are not to become so by embargoes and non-intercourse. They are not to become so by a system which goes to paralyze and destroy the energies of the nation. They are not to become either. great or powerful, by the exercise of the passive, but by calling into operation the active virtues of their citizens. As this war is said to be waged for free commerce and sailors' rights, let the merchants employ their vessels in the trade, which is still left open to them; and let our sailors fight their way to a market, on that element where their rights. have been infringed.

Our Government may boast the original invention of this mode of warfare, and, though unpatented, there is no danger of its being pirated. From the experience we have had of the benefits resulting from its adoption, we need not be apprehensive that any other nation will follow the example. But, if its effects should not be felt by the enemy, none need fear that they will not be severely felt by us; and the consideration that no great good is to be attained, but through much tribulation, may induce an acquiescence in the measure. The war in which we are so unhappily engaged, though attended with some brilliant incidents, gives us no promises, by its successes hitherto, on which we can rely, of the attainment of any valuable object in relation to our foreign relations. And yet, strange to tell, it has acquired some degree of popularity with the very men originally opposed to it, while those of another class, the most clamorous for it at its commencement, are beginning to be tired of it. This madness wants a cure; and if we explore the causes of it, it can be little doubted that an effectual embargo will afford an effectual remedy. The war having opened a wide field for speculation, the men of property originally opposed to it, impatient of remaining in that idle situation into which it had thrown them, have at last made adventures of their money in a war state of things; they therefore cannot wish its termination till they find a beneficial result to their speculation. The farmers in the country, by the very high price which their produce has commanded, have been able to watch the holders of foreign goods, as well as those engaged in manufacturing them at home. Therefore it is, that they also, feeling very little inconvenience from the war at present, have no great objection to its continuing a little longer. But an embargo, by raising the price of all foreign articles as well as home manufactures at once, will soon put a stop to these speculations. The dealers in these goods NAYS-Messrs.
