Upon a moderate calculation therefore,
confideIing the fuperior iituation OF
Maine for commerce. its wealth would
be probably adequate 70 the purchaie
Of four times the property of the itate
of Kentucky, a, the time it was erected

Il is but lately tha, Tenneaee was
admitted into the union. When hrlt

Its iituation is equslly d;iadvantageous
for commerce with that of kentucky.
Its condition as to wealth is PROBABLY
in the fame prcpcrtion, having regard
to its population, as that OF Kentucky
bears 10 the wealth Of Maine. The
property Of Maine therefore is at this
time equal in all probability TO ten times
the property of Tenne1ee : And yet
Tenneaee has an equal weight in the
Senate of the Unired States with any
other ltate in the union: And Maine is
not in faet even repreiented in shat

But The climax does not even lfop

and Importance in the Senate Of the

union. What the wealth of this lare
may amount 70 il is hard to tell-per
haps equal TO the town or Portland in
Maine. Polibly il may be equal, in
point Of wealth, 10 the counties Of
Hancock and w Wilmington in Maine
