"— By the admission of these States that balance has been materially affected, and unless the practice be modified, must ultimately be destroyed. The Southern States will first avail themselves of their nev/ con- federates to govern the East, and finally the Western States multiplied in number, and augmented in population, will con- troul the interests of the Avhole. Thus for the sake of present power, the Southern States will be common sufferers with the East, in the loss of permanent advantag...es. None of the old States can find an interest in creating prematurely an over- •whelming Western influence, v/hich may hereafter discern (as it has heretofore) benefits to be derived to them by wars and commercial restrictions •/ 21 The next amendments proposed by the Convention, relate vo the powers of Congress, in relation to Embargo and the interdiction of commerce. Whatever theories upon the subject of commerce, have hi- therto divided the opmions of statesmen, experience has at last shewn that it is a vital interest in the United States, and that its success is essential to the encouragement of agricul- ture and manufactures, and to the wealth, finances, defence, and liberty of the nation.
