The Bma* parte of the east revived none of the super* stiuous establishment* and monkish tjran me# that revolution ought to sweep fro-o the face of the earth.

But he of the west has sought his allies a mong ’he enemies of generous views and en lightened opinions, and borrowed the >huo tiers of tbs chinch lo sustain civil dominion in the new world, whilst their faintest echoes are no ior gnr heard in the old. " It may. perhaps, be said that bo h mon archs have followed as popular opinion has led, and that Bonaparte no more dared to borr w thv weapons of superstition than couIl Iturbide reject them. Bo’ this i; the homage which tyrants pretend to pry to pabfic opinion, whilst they insult ant! trarft* pie upon it. lie (hut is master rvf armies ready to second bis wishes is the master of popular feeling, and not its t'ave.

Richmond is a gay and fashionable city, a bounding with ali the luxuries and conve niences which can contribute to the gratifica tion and amusement of Ihe most voluptuous and extravagant. Tcmpera'e and prudent men can live plentifully and comfortably on their four dollars a day, and save something hand some at the end ot tlie Session to bring home in their pockets—the close and miserly find it a profitable business. Add to this .heir four dollars f«.r every twenty miles travelling to and returning from tlie seat of Government; and many of them would be «s well satisfied to let the seat of government remain where it I am, however, sensible that there are cx« ceptions Vo this gereral rule, and that we hate some representatives whose minds soar above these sordid and selfish considerations, and at all times are ready to pursue >beirdu« ty with a steady and firm eye; fixed wholly oil what they derm their country’s good. It was uot my intention at the commence ment of thia investigation, to have entered into a disquisition of extraneous or abstract questions,-but to confine mvself to a simple and plain statement of facts. 1, however, owe it to my Jellow citizens, to truth and justice, and to myself, to vindicate the truth of the positions advanced in my second numa ber. With those reflections I shall proceed to a further investigation of the grievances of the western people. From the peculiar geographical situation of the present seat of government, many of the western counties are entirely cut off from all con'm^rcial intercourse w.tli ihemetropojis — •ndot course are excluded from all the ad« vantages arising from the expenditures of the public monies. The immense sums annually paid into the public Treasury by the western people, in the shape of taxes, are expended almost exclusively in and about the city of Richmond, and probably not one dollar in an hundred ever returns to the people of the counties so excluded, in the ordinary rotine cf circulation. Hence it follows that our tax es lung as a dead weight upon us; we are com. pelled to pay our full proportion of the ex penses of the government, to perform cur full proportion of military service, and other j public burthens, without participating j in an equality of the advantages growing out luc uiauiirsciiic.iib oi me monies paid iota tho public Treasury. This, fellow citizens, is a stale of things which ought not to be sub mitted to. If 1 could speak in a voice of thunder, I would conjure my brethren of the West to arouse from their lethargy, and de cisively demand a redress of their grievances. To our Eastern brethren I again appeal, ard conjure them to reflect seriously and impar tially on this subject. It is a question of vast importance to the well being of our state_ Le it be remembered that in times of war and danger, the aid and protection of the » es* tern citizens are greatly looked up to. and courted, by the pe. pie of the East. What, 1 ask, would have been their situation in the late war, if their western brethren find not flown to their assistance? That they would have fallen an easy prey to their more than sa vage foes, lliat their boasted and favorite city of Richmond, with its proud and stalely capit- / ol, armory, and oilier public buildings, logc- ' gether with its wealthy banks, would have bren plundered ard laid in dust and ash* cs, no rational being can doubt. Remove the seat of government to a cen tral position ar.d it will immediately breomo tl.c favorite and rallying point of cveiy sec tion of the Republic, Like the run m the Solar System, it will shed its light, and be- - r.ign influence over all p-i ts c,f our state, and at once, reconcile our c«i fl cting nrd discord ant opinions; on this interes1 iog subject/ Con tinue it at Richmond and i' will remain a bone of conten’ion and discord between the Eastern and Western sections ot the Common«e» 1th 1 lie rrsult of which many of us may yet live to deplore* My next Number will appear in due time, THO’S.
