The Southern States will first avail themselves of their new confederates to govern the East, and finally the Western States multiplied in number, and augmented in population, will control the interests of the whole. Thus for the sake of present power, the Southern States will be common sufferers with the East, in the loss of permanent advan tages. None of the old States can find an interest in creating prematurely an overwhelming Western influence, which may hereafter discern (as it has hereto...fore) benefits to be derived to them by wars and commercial restrictions. The next amendments proposed by the convention, relate to the powers of Congress, in relation to Embargo and the interdk - of commerce. Whatever theories upon the subject of commerce have hith erto divided the opinions 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 agriculture and man ufactures, and to (he wealth, finances, defence, and liberty of the nation.
