Without a sigh to quit the joys of time ;
Secure of glory fit a happier clime;
Then mount the skies, forsake my old abode,
And gain the plaudits of a smiling God.

Behold my plea!—4hy sufferings and thy merit-

The “voiceof Stark,** bellowing from
the Green Mountains, and echoing through
all its caterns, has of late made the ear of
faction to tremble. So much has been said
concerning it, that many honest, yet igno
rant minds, have supposed that it was the
Only voice deserving our notice. Of this
I entertained some doubts. After much
reading, inquiring and meditation, I have
discovered five other voices of equal im
portance. These six all tonite to establish
this fact; that there exists a British fac
tion in these States. ■ I would as soon doubt
the magnanimity of a Frenchman, or the
candour and honesty of a democrat, as the
reality of a party that would rejoice to be
hold Great-Britain contract the sphere of
Napoleon’s benevdlence, and pre tent his
“conquering the liberty of the seas.” That
Bonaparte wishes for peace, and would
guarintee the independence of every na
tion that will ask it, cannot be denied. Hr
himself has said It. Look at Europe. Did
not Spain, did aot Portugal soMcit his pre
lection when threatened With the galling
yoke of Bihain i And did he nnt with bis
