FOR TH,E ARGUS.
TK« degradation to which the Unit*
ed States have been precipitated is tie
jectinp. Other nations have passed
from glory to debasement, but thelt
humiliation has been marked by ho.
nor able struggles and manly efforts to
arrest the ignominious descent: The
United States have been hurried to
contempt without a single indication
oi spirit. We can point to no period
• of time, in the current of gross insults.,
and say, * there we made a noble stand
. for national rights !” From the re
nown of our ancestors to our present
state of abject submission there is a
frightful chasm, distinguished by no
degrees of degeneracy, but over which
we have leaped in dismay, and rushed
in«o the marshes and bogs of the vilest
disgrace.
Nothing will retrieve us From a state
so deplorable but a bold stroke of po
licy, enforced torvigorous action. Let
us step from the filth and mire in which
we are walUrwM^ make a stride
uphill. Ab o A tauncypursuit of jus.
tifce has ptvdiica nosing but scorn
and injury, why shouflu we not adopt
the new code of*law, seize upon
the property and persoos of our ene
mies in this country, sequestrate the
ofie and compel the others to laboui
for the public benefit. If our enemiei
acmar.a satisfaction, tell them to—
ccme and take it. If they release oui
impressed and imprisoned seamen and
honestly return our property' or its va
lur, we will enfranchise their subjects
and lestore what belongs to them ; ii
they^come in a spirit of revenge and
armed for battle, we will receive then
at the mouth of the cannon and th«
pyint of the bayonet.
•Should our rulers imagine that thii
course of conduct would be cruel, lei
them reflect that the hrst consideratior
. of every government ought to be' th<
welfare of its own citizens ; and tha
< the mercy which*!* exercised to oui
own ruin, is, \p politics, nothing bu
• imbecility. T \

,While the celebrated Indian Pro
phet is stirring up his followers onou
south-western frontiers to comment
vn\r upon us, are we sure that Jackson
Pifhe Hritish spy, is not ere this, engag
ed in the same way among the Cana
di in savages i It not so, for wha
ptrpoae did a noted lory of the rrro
lufion, well known in those days f<)
hi* predatory exclusions, at the heat
ol a choice band in and about this city
for what purpose, we say, did this hoa
ry old traitor, whd now lives in Upper
. Canada, and enjoiys a pension from the
British government, undertake an em
bassy to Jaskson late in the fall of 1809 ?
The man we allude to was concerned
with the famous jdt Bettis, and at the
head of a gang of whites and Indians,
were the terror of this vicinity in the
revolutionary war. He was in the
same gang who attacked Gen. Schuy
ler’s house tor the purpose of seizing'
the General and conveying him to Ca
nada. He was iu this city last fall on
his wky to New YoVk ; was lurking a
bout the arsenal, making Inquiries a
'bout the number ofcatmoo a id small
{ arms, the quantity of ammunition, •8tc.
it contained. Among other inquiries,
he asked this extraordinary question :
“Suppose, said he,“the New Eng
land states should throw off their alle
giance, and declare for a separation of'
the Union, and be joined by a power
■ ful party in the state of New York,
would they not prqbably succeed ? He
was answered in the negative, and cer
tain questions put to him^irom which
he perceived that his designs Were sur
pected, and he then dropc the convert
sarioD. He was afterwards at Bethle
hem, visiting secretly some of his old
cronies in the revolution, but was re
cognized there by a whig of’76, not
withstanding hia disguised habit—for
re travelled by day with a pack upon
his back, and a very shabby sailer’s
dress—at night he was seen at a cer
tain house in a geatet 1 suit of broad
cloth. These are facts, and if neces
sary, in due time, the name of this
miscreant, & the names of those whom
he secretly visited as old friends, shall
be nude known. In the mean time,

Of all th* nonsense with which the
papers of the opposition abound, noth
ing is more ridiculous than their at
tempts to obscure the virtues of Mr.
Madison. They dare not directly at*
I tack him. His virtues are great,.his
talents are great. They pretend he
haifc prejudices* but cannot tell what
th*y are. They may have come from
Mr. Jefferson, but they have no proof
that he does nor possess an independent
mind, if hey mav have come from
France; but the evidence is strangely
deficient, after very many assertions.
They are unwilling to confess like
hoi,est men, that a man who has been
in the habit all his life cf serving his
countrj, would probably have very
strong prejudices in favor of his coun
trv. wo. id p*-obab1v have very strong

career. But all these things are of
little consequence. With all his worth,

for a dissolution of tho Union The only
f*6V which he pretends to slate, is a let'er
from Mr Lewis Burwdl of this city, under

the Virginia Gazette«*in this Mr B. as

After*all the developments which baVe
