Governor Stone of North Carolincta in his
gpeech to the 'legislntm'e, speaking of the
jecessity 01 a well organized militia, ob
.serves: " Fnom whatevet- motives " may
sissssproceed the late indications of one of the
belligerenu to relax his system es injustice,
it is our duty to be prepared for events."
It is much indeed for ademocratic govern—
or to acknowledge, that Bonaparte can, at
any time,be unjnst ; it is more, to say that
. he is governed by **_ a system of injustice ;" _j
but to say that we ought to be prepared to
naist him, is talking-like a federaiist, and
like a pattiot of course. Will the presi
dent in his message to cengress denounce
the augnst emperor of France as a man
ruled by a system of injusticect? Will he
taik of reaisting him? No. lc will'be found
that he will dwell principally on British
injustice and the noceseity of our being pre
pned to resist England ; while the enormi
ties of France will be softened down to
pctty irregularities.

Esq. of Prince William county, who want
ed but two days of 80 years of age. In
reviewing the life of this worthy man, we
shall see: as much to admirc, and as little to
condemn, as falls to the lot of man. In all
the social relations, his conduct thro' life
' was such as to cunciliate esteem, and to de
ly the scrutinizing eye of censure : just to
his word—constanc, generous, and sinccrc
in his sricndships—his house a perfect mo
de] of bonpitality, he was universally he
loved; aodsshis death, by which his aﬀec
tionate lady and numerous connexions have
sustained an inseparablc loss, has bereaved
thc neighborhood of its firmcst pillar, and
proudest boast.
