Resolutions in relation to the Tobacco Trade.

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the most effectual remedy for the evils the tobacco interest
labors under from the high duties imposed by Great Britain,
and the monopolies of France and other nations of Europe,
is to be found in the action of Congress by countervailing
duties; and that this Legislature relies on the wisdom of
Congress in discriminating between those governments
which have not manifested a disposition to abandon or mo-
dify their present oppressive duties and restrictions imposed
on tobacco from the United States.
Resolved, That the Governor be, and he is hereby re-
quested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each of
our Senators and Representatives in the Congress of the
United States, and that they be requested to lay the same
before their respective bodies.
