"The suspension of our foreign commerce, produced by the injustice of the belligerent powers, and the consequent losses and sacrifices of our citizens, are subjects of just concern to the nation.
"The situation into which we have thus been forced, has impelled us to apply a portion of our industry and capital to internal manufactures and improvements. The extent of this conversion is daily increasing, and little doubt remains that the establishments now forming, will, under the auspices of cheap materials and subsistence, the freedom from taxation with us, and of PROTECTING DUTIES and PROHIBITION, become permanent.
