FROM THE CONNECTICUT MIRROR.
THE TIMES. —Congrefs has adjourned,
and tne nation is once more placed under
the iron j oke of the “ reftr\£i\ve /yflcm.”
Alter liasing tried an Embargo, and a!
Non-Intercourfe, and found the country
travelling faft to definition, and what',
in the opinion of tiie Jefierfonian party,
was of vattly more importance, that they
were going with it, the embarraffmenta
upon trade vvete removed end the people
wete futfered once more to purine their
lawful concern, without fear of encounter- '
iug the prifon or the bayooet The ex- i
periment was confulcred at the time 1
as having fo completely Tiled that no!
perfon feeiiied to ."uppofe that the admin
iftration would ever have the folly or!
the rafhntfs to attempt to try it again.1
Have the farmers forgotten how the prices
of their various crops were fo reduced,
that there wa»no inducement to cultivate I
their farms any further, than was abfb.|
lut.-ly ncceflary to raife provifions for
the.r families ? Have the fhtp builders any !
remembrance of rhe diftre.Tes into which 1
thofe gloomy times plunged them by dcs. I
troy trig their bufme.s i ]n fi.orr, farmos, !
mechanics, f.dlors and labourers, as well
as merchants, were involved in a com
mon fate of gloomy despondency, with a
carful proper of want tor thcmfclves and
amides*. ^ hen the Non.Intercourse was
at eiigrh removed, and men were unfet
tered in their bufmefs, what a change in
liantaneoull v took place. 'I he moment
•ri* ° rev1*VC('» trade revived with if.
J he produce of our country bcc.me in'
great demand, ami of courfe commanded
a high price—the mechanics flourilhed, !
the » nlors and the day laborers found em.
ploymcnt and good wages, and the conn
try at once became chcerrid aflive and
refperous. A fing|c fact which exifrs in
>nr neighborhood, willferve tolh-wro ,
tvfaa; CAtc.it the archie of fhiy buiidE* has .
been carried. In the town of Glaftenbury
we are informed there arc at ?he prefent
time, no lefs than eleven vciTcls on the (locks
which will average more than 200 tons
each, i robablv thefe vcfTels are princi
pally building for the market; and it fa*
they mu ft prove alrooft a dead iofs to the
owners, by the operation of this fatal
fcheme of uon-intercourfe.
By the law which is now gomg inter
force, our trade with Great Britain and
her dependencies, is annihilated. That is,
wefare not only cut off from the impoira
tion of goods from the ifland of Great Bri
tain, but the Weft India trade, so in:..
menfely intending to the people of New
Kugland, and especially of Connc&icnt, all
goes with it.
'fhe confequence of this date of things
t»:cn mud inevitably be, that our country
produce will fink in value to alrrroft no
thing the mechanic trades, immediate!7
connected with commerce, wilt fuffer ex
tremely,- our feainen and day laborers, i:»
a great mcafure be thrown out of employ
ment, and of courfe be reduced to extreme
diftrefs.
io juftify congrefs in bringing thefe
intolerable evils once more upon us, there
ought to be fome powerful rcafon. Let
us enquire for a moment what they are.
What new thing h..s taken place, which
has tiirown us into our prefent difficulties.
Arc oaf circumflances wirh the belliger
ent powers or Europe fn materially
changed, as to render it ncceffary to flop
all intercourfe with G. Britain and to opcu
»v mi i * ante :
In the firll place, what benefit arc w'e
likely .to receive, by an imereourle with
France, even it it were true that their De
crees are revoked ? We cannot iupplv our
felves with the articles of merchandize
which are neceffarv for the country, bo.
canfe France docs not poffefs them. If
we undertake to carry colonial or any o
rher produce there, w* run the rif-juro! be
>ng flopped by Btitifr cruizers ; or if they
fhould arrive in France, of being robbed
by the orders of Bonaparte. A trade of
this nature, is not likely to fupport our
exhaufled revenue, nor to enrich our mer
chants.
By cutting off trade with Great Britain
we are in effect cutting it off from all the
world, llowevet tyrannical it may be in
her to fay, that we frail not plow th»
deep without her leave, it is no more than
it is for France to fay, that we (hall not
fet foot on the continent of Europe w ichouc
her permiffion; But by keeping an open
intercourfe with Great Britain, we obtain
the articles of merchandize which we
want* we find a fure market for our own
coinnifuijries, our farn»«»rs /> ff\ 1 -
their labor, our mechanics, teamen, at>d
>«'• H.rcrs find employment and wages, our
merchants in the purfuit of an honorable
trade, enrich themfclvej and their neigh
bors, and the revenue is fupplted without
retorting to loans or taxes. To fettle this
point beyond all comiadidlion, an appeal
may be made to the univerfal experience of
the country. I las not the ft ate of thing*
tor the la'fl twelve or eighteen months,
been preferable to the period of the em
bargo and nc*>-inrcico«rfe ? No man can
deny this. If is true, the merchants have
fufferd, but ithcir fuffetings have proceed
ed tron. the worse than Algerine fraud and
pci fidy of Bonaparte. He, m violation of
all moral obligation, which be now rir.t3
rite enjoyment of ; while in cur trade with
Great Britain has been in a gre„t degiee,
unmolettcd and prefperous.
The true feern lies in this-Bona
parte has ordered us to flop intercourfe
with Great Biitain, and the admirdtfrj.
tion obeyed—Hatred of Great Britain
and a fear of France have led U9
to the prefent crifis. As for the boa ft
rd impartiality of our menfures toward*
tl.ofe two rival powers, it b a mockery to
pretend it.-V. c futfer otirfelve* to he
bullied, cajoled, or flattered into any
mcafurcs France may pleafe to direO j
while, we irritate acid iufult G. Britain in
every mode we dare.
As we are about trying the trrapin no."
ficy once more, let the people bear in mind
in the rnidtf of their sufferings to whom
they are indebted for them.-It is Tho
mas Jcfterfon, James Madif.-n, and their
particular fworn friends and fopporters,
-F'r.lcralifts have oppofed Embargo &
Non-intercourfe, with ail their might, in
every (nape, though without fucccts.
The democrats in every nuartcr of the
Union are divided into angry faflion*,
whofe j.ri icipai bufinefs feems to con (ill in
acculations and recrimination againft each
other. The following paragraph refpert
ing Dc V itt Ulinton is copied from ihc
