From the CHARLESTON COURIER.
That Duelling has its root in fear cannot be denied; in the fear of being suspected of want of valour. And that this fear is not the fear of nature, reason, or experience, but of mere corrupt, wicked and stupid custom, can easily be demonstrated. If it inhere in our nature, or was the result of reason operating upon experience, all nations would have felt it, and most strong- ly & particularly, of course those who have stood most eminent in arms, arts and litera- ture. But the reverse is the case. The Greeks and Romans who take the lead in those respects, felt nothing of the kind. And when we can with truth say that the Romans never acted upon such a principle and never practised duelling, we say en- ough to prove that it cannot reasonably be considered as being in any sort a con- stituent part or even a diagnostic of brave- ry. The modern Romans, for so we may call Britons, are less given to mortal single combat than any other people upon earth —while on the other hand we may oppose, as converse proofs of our position, the well known fact, that more men fall in single combat, (we do not mean assassination, but in fair single combat) in Spain and Portugal, than in England, France, Ger- many, Switzerland, and the northern coun- tries put together.
We own that where a long established barbarous custom has established a kind of general opinion respecting the necessity of a resort to single combat, the refusing of a challenge, or the passing over of an insult may be disreputable in certain circumstanc- es, and a worthy man may feel himself dis- posed rather to trust his soul to the mercy of his God, than his character to the mercy of men. But what does all this prove? Why it proves only this, that it is the duty of every brave, wise, and virtuous man, to get rid of the custom; to irradiate the op- inion; to extirpate from the very heart and mind the barbarous notion; and if possible to wash away from the memory of society all recollection that it had ever existed.
We say to Americans, or to any other people upon earth, Vain men! if the re- publicans of ancient Rome, who never were dismayed by defeat, and never made peace or parley with a victorious enemy, did without duelling, you may very well dispense with it.
If in looking back upon the history of man we found that the practice of duelling was uniformly prevalent in nations distin- guished for courage and deeds of arms, we should at least pause upon the subject, and perhaps set it down among many o- ther unfortunate propensities, which are proved to inhere in our nature, or com- port with our necessities, by their being common to mankind. But when on the contrary we find that it originated in an age, and with a people, the very names of which imply ignorance, blindness, dark- ness, and barbarity; and that to the most wise and brave people, and the most refin- ed and polished periods antecedent there- to, it was unknown then, we insist upon it that there is no one circumstance of rea- son, or necessity, to palliate the continua- tion of a practice which every man but an atheist must allow to be damnable. In fact, so far is it from arising either from nature or necessity, that if duly consider- ed it will appear entitled to stand among those called unnatural crimes, which though custom may, and in some countries does make fashionable, no custom can recon- cile to morality or virtue, or make other than criminal.
If we are asked what we would do our- selves, or advise a bosom friend to do, in a case of offence, or a challenge, we will answer, that what an individual would do under the hard terms which a corrupt cus- tom and erroneous opinions founded on it, may impose, has nothing to do with our argument. It is the custom and the op- inion that we reprobate, and those ought by a universal consent to be abolished and reprobated. Each individual would then be relieved from the grievous necessity be imagines himself under of trampling upon divine laws, out of compliment to his cha- racter and honor.
In despotisms, this horrible practice is less mischievous, because it is confined to a department of society which, from the nature of things, must be very small—we mean the higher classes. But, in repub- lics, the mischief extends itself through the whole people, and in fact, corrupts the morals, inuring them to blood, and divest- ing their hearts of humanity.
It is not perfectly philosophical to say, "we must leave the thing as it is, for men, though they may disapprove the practice, will still fight."—As well might it be said, that because men will commit murder, a- dultry, fornication, or bestialise with li-
quor, in spite of law or advice, that the le- gislator and the moralist should leave them to do so, in despair, without making laws, or giving monitions against it. Law and reason exercised unremittingly, would frit- ter away the custom, and with it the opi- nion. The practice would then vanish, of course; besides, neither the legislator nor the moral writer are justifiable, if in indo- lent acquiescence with a false predication, they desert the strict line of their duty, or act like timid and conscientiously unskillful surgeons, who suffer a patient to die a lin- gering, painful, certain death, from a false notion that the disease is incurable, and a selfish fear of using the knife. Those who say, "it is bad, but we cannot remedy it," do worse than nothing—for they add their might to the weight of erroneous opinion, and give further strength and circulation to a palpable mistake; for it is less than a pal- pable mistake to suppose that a thing most necessarily exist, which has but very par- tially existed, which was long unknown, and which in some countries, and those immensely populous and enlightened coun- tries too, is scarcely dreamed of. What is this less than to assert that duelling is inherent in the nature of man? Away with such notions—they are mischievous when circulated, and ought to be smothered the moment they are conceived.
A stranger to the nature of man would conclude, from this mighty work that is made about it, that courage was rare a- mong men, and that a man of valor was, like a great poet, orator, painter, or musi- cian, a thing scarce, and difficult to be met with. In short, "rara avis, nigroque si- millima Cygno." But, to the honor of man's nature, it may fairly be asserted, that a man destitute of courage is very rarely to be found. Those who have professionally had opportunities of forming a judgment upon that point, will fortify with their as- sent our assertion, that often in a thousand men, not one will be found deficient of va- lour. Some possesses more of one kind, and some of another. Some are highly gifted and animated with the courage of sentiment, which incurs the risk, while it knows the full amount of the danger. O- thers, from mere animal courage, or from possession of a constitutional courage; and o- thers again, from a habitude and stupidity of mind, are fearless, because ignorant of danger. Few, very few indeed, want one or other of these kinds of courage; but it would do no great credit to the friends of duelling, to see a catalogue of those men who have rendered themselves most conspicuous for duel-courage. We do not hesitate to say, that the most worthless, and often the most abandoned and infamous men in the creation, have been most cele- brated for it. Highway robbers, house- breakers, and gamblers. A certain black- leg in London, who, like the murderer in Macbeth, "would do any thing to mend life or get rid of it," and cared not whose life, or how many he took, provided he could supply his vices with full gratification, made a practice of sitting up with opulent men of fashion alone, playing at cards with them, and the next morning insisting he had won such or such a sum of money from them, and challenging them, if they refused to pay him.
He generally chose the timid, and they knowing his desperate villainy, paid him the money falsely alleged to be due, ra- ther than risk their lives; for the fellow, like a proper human butcher, had brought himself, by practice, into great perfection in the art of murder.—Some fought him, and were wounded. One was killed. As a duel, it was found not murder. He killed a second—The whole of his character and proceedings came out on the trial, and he was found guilty of deliberate murder, and hanged by the neck till he was dead. Respect for his relatives induces us to sup- press the name. Here were two innocent men sacrificed to the abominable custom of duelling, by a villain, who without one ray of virtue, was totally regardless of danger, and fearless of God or man.
In a word, does duelling do less than put the life or the property and happiness of every man at the mercy of any ruffian, who while he has constitutional nerve to fight, has no principal to prevent him from doing wrong.
From the Connecticut Courant.  DISSERTATIONS ON THE DECEP- TIVE ARTS OF DEMAGOGUES. No. VII.
The word Equality , as it is used by cunning demagogues, has had magical effects: it sets all the culottes, ruffians and beggars in France a capering; it puts all Europe in commotion, and threatened to produce a general dissolution of the bonds of society and to turn the whole world
"upside down." Yet the term equality, stripped of the magic charm that has been thrown around it, is an honest word, and may be safely used even by the soundest republicans.
"All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." They have equal- ly a right to protect their lives and reputations, and to enjoy the liberty of employing themselves in such regular callings as they choose, and of using all just means to provide themselves and families with the comforts of life. They have equally a right to render themselves respectable and happy by the wise and diligent improve- ment of their time and talents. They have equal- ly a right to the gifts of nature and to all their honest acquirements, whether of learning or pro- perty, and to enjoy, or any way appropriate the fruits of their industry as they themselves may deem proper. These are some of the unalienable "rights of man," in relation to which it has been expressly affirmed in the declaration of our national independence, "That All Men Are Cre- ated Equal." These rights of human nature, which, under arbitrary governments, are either withheld or granted with a partial hand, are re- cognized expressly or virtually by those repub- lics which acknowledge the people to be the source of power. While such free republics con- tinue pure, they are constantly making a practical acknowledgement of the equal rights of human nature, by the equality of their laws and the im- partiality of their courts of justice; meeting the same measures to the rich and poor, protecting good citizens and punishing evil doers, without any respect of persons. In various other respects men are created unequal, and by the improve- ment of their talents, as well as by innumerable providential occurrences, the native inequalities between them are diversified and considerably in- creased. Some are endowed with superior gifts of nature, in the enlarged structure of their minds. Some are born to the possession of great fortunes; others in a condition of extreme po- verty; some are placed by the circumstances of their birth, in a most favorable situation for improvement; others in a situation unfavorable. This order of nature tends to effect a necessary degree of subordination and at the same time to as to diversify the occupations and pursuit of men as to promote the general interests of society. In the progress of life, the inequalities of birth are sometimes reversed; the rich become poor; and the poor become rich; and native genius laying dormant, is excelled by inferior natural talents, constantly cultivated and improved. Some are industrious, enterprising and frugal; others live in sloth; and others plunge in the fatal gulph of dissipation. They usually reap what they sow. Diligence, with good economy, maketh rich; sloth wasteth; and dissipation leads to poverty. Yet, if all men were equal in the gifts of na- ture, in their educations, and in their industry and prudence; there still would be great inequa- lities in their circumstances, effected by causes hidden from their sight and beyond their con- trol. "The race is not (always) to be swif- t, nor yet riches to men of understanding; nor yet favor to men of skill." It is said by the poet.
"There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."
Some happen to take this tide at the flood; others, equally or even wiser, miss the favourable opportunity. More properly, the invisible hand of Providence sometimes exalts and sometimes de- presses, beyond all human foresight and con- trary to all human probability. Now amidst all the diversity of human talents, amid the constant- ly shifting circumstances of men living under a free government where every one has the power of self-direction as to the improvement of his ta- lents and the pursuits of life the true republican equality consists in the whole body politic guard- ing with the same care all its members by enacting equitable laws and executing those laws with strict impartiality. This kind of equality is practica- ble and salutary; it is founded in public and pri- vate virtue; it is the great spur to general indus- try, and is a spring of life to a free commonwealth. In such a state of things, the rich and the poor are equally protected in their persons and they are at liberty to employ for their own benefit the faculties which have been given them by the God of nature.
Modern as well as ancient demagogues, in their struggle for power, have bewitched people and allured to their standard the profligate, the idle and the needy, by disseminating notions of such a political equality as is merely the creature of imagination; an equality unbounded in na- ture, and that would prove the grave of genius and industry, the powerful abettor of idleness and profligacy, and would render civil society mon- strous, like a body with no head, or having mem- bers and organs deranged and misplaced.

You all ought by this time, to be well acquainted with your duty as neutrals—forget that belligerents have some British and French, many cases of Great Britain, in which there is no remembrance; neutrals must remember they, in their turn, will become belligerents.

as you may be under some apprehensions of a blockade of the Dutch ports, and as Mr. Miller, unadvisedly cleared his vessel for Embden with an intention of going to Havre or one of the neighbouring ports, that until you have official notice of the blockade of the Dutch port you should clear out for the Dutch port you wish to enter. And when you receive such notice and are dubious of the continuance of the blockade you must not instruct your master to go to and enquire of the British cruisers off the blockade port, whether it exists or not, but make the enquiry in a British port. After notice is given you must not clear out for a blockaded port.
The court considered captain Miller's destination to Embden as colorable, as a fraud; it certainly deceived our cruisers in the channel who on being informed that his destination was Embden suffered him to proceed. Had she been cleared for Fecamp or Dieppe, had the master steered for one of those ports only, she would not have been detained. Indeed all would have been well, notwithstanding the false destination, had not the captain after being fairly warned of the blockade of Havre, madly persisted in the attempted to enter that port.
"It appeared by the letter and bills of lading that Messrs. —— and —— had some knowledge of the colorable destination and their property on board was condemned. On freighting goods by other ships it is therefore necessary to enquire whether the owner of the ship has given any instructions to the master that may involve your property by his unneutral conduct.
"It is not probable that the Dutch ports will be blockaded."
Duane's Dinner. —We observe by the Aurora that there has been a democratic feast at Philadelphia in honor of Leib's re-election as a member of Congress, which event Duane calls "the triumph of Republicanism." Every body who knows the extreme worthlessness of the man whose success is thus spoken of, will agree in the aptness of the terms which Duane has applied to it. "The triumph of Republicanism," of that republicanism we mean which is now current, has become, and until there shall be a radical change in public opinion will every day become more and more the triumph of profligacy over principle, of folly over wisdom, of falsehood over truth, in short, of all those detestable vices which spring from the wild misrule of a licentious mob, over every thing that is great and good, and valuable in a well regulated community. Such a triumph the democrats of Philadelphia assembled to celebrate, and according to the account given of it by the "organ of the public will," it was in the true sans culotte style. As many of the poor half starved devils as could crowd into the room entered and took possession of the tables, where they continued no doubt until they had eat and drank enough to the honor and glory of republicanism. Those who could not be admitted to the first sitting, were in the mean while whetting their appetites on whiskey, the true republican liquor, in the adjoining room, in the hope of being at least permitted to know the bones and devour the fragments that were left. No sooner therefore had the first set of cormorants retired, than in rushed the lank and ravenous tribe who had been kept so long in hungry expectation of sharing in this civic festival. But lo! to their utter astonishment, not a scrap of any thing eatable was left—not even a bone or a crust to satisfy their craving maws. But says Duane, who by the bye had taken good care, as he generally does, to provide himself with a competent share to the loaves and fishes within his reach, this was of no kind of consequence, for eating was not the object, but "conviviality and joy," and they were accordingly entertained with "the pleasures of song and sentiment." An excellent entertainment truly for a parcel of half famished sovereigns—they must have been in high humour to have joined with their brethren in the jocular laugh and merry glee. To add to the enjoyment of this happy meeting too, we are told that "a band of wind instruments, and a band of music performed alternately during the evening." What those wind instruments were, as different from musical instruments, however, Duane has not condescended to inform us; on this point therefore, every one is left to form his own conjectures.
Of the toasts which were given on this occasion, we shall only notice two, one by Thomas Leiper, the other by William Duane. The first is, "The honest politician—and may the Almighty create more of them." The group which surrounded Leiper at this time, and its plentiful lack of every thing like honesty, very naturally suggested the wish thus aptly expressed,
It does not appear to have been honored with a single cheer; indeed it was rather too sarcastic for the occasion. To make amends however, for the silence with which this volunteer was gulped, when Dr. Leib was immediately afterwards given, no less than nine cheers echoed through the room. This was certainly as much as to say nine times in repetition, none of your honest politicians for us. Next comes Duane, "Our brethren in Louisiana. May the enemies of its acquisition, and of its ample and pacific possession, obtain a quietus in Perdido ." We dare say Duane looked at that moment as if he had said something very neat and witty: he had unluckily forgot, and he doubtless wishes that every body else had, what he sometime ago said about this same ample acquisition . Let us then refreshen his memory. In the Aurora of the 2d July, 1803, about the time when it was first rumored that we had purchased Louisiana, he declared his disbelief of the report, and actually called it a misrepresentation of the conduct of our government. "The United States, says he, stand in no present need of the immense countries of Louisiana. It would be injurious to our property to possess Louisiana in full sovereignty at this time." It follows therefore that Duane by his own acknowledgment has avowed himself an enemy to the ample and pacific possession of Louisiana, and consequently ought to take his quietus in Perdido . Now to this we can certainly have no sort of objection, we shall not attempt to disturb his repose.
(N. T. Evng. Post.)
A London paper of Sept. 14, says, "The Comet, formerly an East India packet, captured by the French and sent to Corunna, and there bought by an American House in London, and sent into Plymouth by Rear. Adm. Cochrane, from off Ferrol, stopped on presumption of being considered a recapture as she was condemned in a French port, tho' never out of a neutral harbour, has been examined by the Commissioners of Prizes, at that port; and the depositions of the Officers are sent forward to the Admiralty Court.—The decision for or against her being a recapture, under the existing circumstances, naturally involve a commercial question of some consequence to the mercantile world; she was purchase for 15,000 dollars at Corunna; is only three years old, & about 550 tons burthen; so that if a salvage is paid on her of one-eighth to the captors, she will still be a cheap ship to the American House that purchased her."

This Lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer's chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to insure the friends of the intended institution to participate in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is appointed to receive the money for the purchase of tickets, and to pay the amount of the prizes. The drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
