on to our ruin, under the belief, that sen-
tinuance of a state of irritation and dan

calamities of war, are to be endured by
the people of the United States, on ac
count of an imaginary insult, of such ex

and intangible form, that it requires all
the sophistry of Mr. Giles, in a speech of
twenty pages, to present a faint and feeble
picture of it. An insult of so subtle And
changeable a nature, that every man who
would point it out, varies in the selection
of the offensive passage, and 1h the con

Mr. Smith’* Offensive Insinuation*, and
Irritating Language to Mr. Jackton.
Oft, when the herbage gemmed with dew
Sparkles beneath the primal ray,
And flowers of many a varied hue
Receive the soft salute of day
And orient billows mildly gleam
In glitt’ring Ether calmly rolled,
And trees that sweep the shaded stream
Wave their high tops in ambient gold ;
At that sweet hour, when Earth and Heaven
In light and harmony conspire,
And tumults from the breast are driven
Save the aoft wish and chaste desire;
Then, soaring light on Pleasure’s wing, •
Wealth, honours, empires, far above,
Oft would 1 touch the trembling string
And call its mingling melodies to Lon.
While thus in airy Rapture’s musing
Is passed the mornipg’s bland and fragranfhour,
Lo! stronger glow the burning rays,
And, round tlie skies a dazzling glare diffusing,
Rolls the bright orb, in unresisted power,
Pouring his full meridian blaze !
Earth, seas and skies, in wide refulgence dress’d,
Proudly dieplay their king’s control;
I feel his fervour pdnetr.de my breast
And wheel, in ardours fierce, my souk
Now let me think of deeds th*t raise
Mortals above the ethereal sphere,
And view the stateman’s wreath, the poet’s
bays
And hear the shouts that greet the hero’s ear
Then, when I feel the hallowed fire
Roused by the mighty themes of story,
O let me seize the sounding lyre
And pour its loudest, fullest chords to Glory !
In Frenzy rapt I struck the string
And heard its echoes loudly ring ;
Circling, they seemed to suit the plain,
Curl up the mountain’s side, and its tall summi
gain.
But now, where sinks the bright haired day
In blushes of the western sky,
The strains retiring, melt away
And slowly, softly, sweetly die ?
Yon clouds, whose skirts of brilliant gold
Blend with the purple mild and deeper blue
In many a long and varied fold
Hangs a rich curtain, sky-enroll’d,
Full o’er the sun, now sunk from view.
And, to the earth, reflects his last adieu.
Twilight serene, in silence clad,
Spreads Wide her soft and mantling shade;
And Meditation, sweetly sad,
Moves slowly down the dark’ning glade.
Past are the wild delights of Love
And Glory’s proud, tumultuous fire;
Peace calmly settles from above,
Stilling the whirlwinds of desire s
And, while the heated passions rest,
Seems a mild autumn in my breast.
Once more I’ll court the tuneful shell
In steadier tones to Soothe the ear.
And whis|>er, while its numbers swell,
—This is the hour to Friendslup dear !
Thus, while the morn of Life delays,
Would Ibe blest v.ith Love’s delight;
And in the noontide of mv days
I’d soar aloft in Glory’s flights
But when my brighter hours are ended
And Life’s short day perceives its close
And sinks, in shadows softly blended,
O Let my soul in Friendship find repose.

such propositions, have ever I’eeft suggest
ed by him. Afrer -11 these ch-, un
qualified, unmeasured and ind .curvuv in
their language as they turn out to be uit
founded in point of fact, the common rules
of diplomacy wredd have required that Mr.
Smith should have concluded, which he
did not, with some expressions ef confi
dence in the dintioMtian of hi, Britaunick
Majesty to reconcile his conduct with g >od
fiiith, and with the principles of justice.—
These professions insincere enough to be
sure, are a species of counterfeit coins, of
little or no intrinsick value, but which
usage has rendered an indispensable me
dium of Dipiomntick intercourse.—And
who ought more scrupulously to ..dheie to
the use of them, than our inflammable
rulers, who can calmly h.?.<rd tue ex
istence or a nation, for a supposed failurp

If Mr. Jackson had replied to this letter
of Mr. Smi'h, (which, we must recede ct,
was the commencement of the correspon
dence,) “ that the temper m which Mr«
Smith’s lett»y w* n conceived, too much re
sembled th> tone iv which Mr.
Erskine’s a. ra..g. merit was expressed, to
leave any hope of benefit from the pro
traction of the intercourse,” u || imjiartial
men would hive thought him justified.
That it must have had, and that it in
fact, did have, as was doubtless intended,
an inauspicious and unfavourable t ffi-flt on
Mr. Jackson’s mind, and on the future
style of the negotiation, there can be no
doubt. It is not a favourable in. dr <f com

The st cond instance of indecorum on the
part of Mr. Smith, which falls very little
short of contradiction, and whatever it
may fail of amounting to that,, may be
fairly placed to the account of prevarica
•ion, is of vast importance, because the
