RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work."
British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

J. B. Varnum, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Jno. Milledge, President of the Senate, pro-tempore. MARCH 1, 1809. APPROVED, Th: Jefferson.
Legislature of Connecticut. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Feb. 23.
Resolved, That the firm and dignified attitude taken by his excellency the governor, in withholding his countenance and aid to carry into effect the law of Congress, "more effectually to enforce the embargo," and passed on the 9th day of January in the present year, is highly honorable to himself, and worthy the chief magistrate of a free and enlightened state; and that it merits the unqualified approbation, and the united thanks of this legislature, and of the people whom they represent.
Resolved, That whereas the people of Connecticut were among the first to adopt the constitution of the United States, and the government thereof, has since that time acted with an honorable and distinguished promptitude, every constitutional requirement of the authorities acting under it:— So on the other hand, they too well know, and too highly appreciate their own rights, and the importance of preserving that constitution inviolate, ever to yield a passive obedience to laws, unauthorized by its provision—arbitrary, unequal and oppressive in their operation, and highly dangerous, if not totally destructive, of the peace, the happiness, and the just rights of a FREE PEOPLE.
Resolved, That the letter of the secretary at war to his excellency, with his reply thereto, be entered on the records of this state, with the foregoing resolutions.
The following is the correspondence between his excellency Gov. Trumbull and the Secretary at War, alluded to in the above.
WAR DEPARTMENT, January 18, 1809. SIR,
THE pressure of the embargo altho' sensibly felt by every description of our fellow-citizens, has yet been cheerfully borne by most of them, under a conviction that it was a temporary evil, and a necessary one to save us from greater and more permanent evils, the loss of property and surrender of rights: but it would have been more cheerfully borne but for the knowledge that, while honest men were rigorously observing it, the unprincipled along our sea coasts and frontiers, were fraudulently evading it: that in some parts they had even dared to break through it openly by an armed force too powerful to be opposed by the collector and his assistants.
To put an end to this scandalous insubordination to the laws, the legislature has authorized the President of the U. States to empower proper persons to employ militia for preventing or suppressing armed or riotous assemblage of persons resisting the customhouse officers in the exercise of their duties, or opposing or violating the embargo laws. He sincerely hopes that during the short time these restrictions are expected to continue, no other instances will take place of a crime of so deep a die. But it is made his duty, to take the measures necessary to meet it. He has directed me, therefore, to request you, as commanding officer of the militia of your state, to appoint some officer of the militia of known respect to the laws, in or near to each port of entry within your state, with orders, when applied to by the collector of the district to assemble immediately a sufficient force of his militia, and to employ them efficaciously to maintain the authority of the laws respecting the embargo; and that you notify to each collector the officer to whom by your appointment he is to apply for aid when necessary. The President has referred this appointment to your excellency, because your knowledge of characters, or means of obtaining it will enable you to select one who can be most confided in to exercise so serious a power, with all the discretion, the forbearance, the kindness even which the enforcement of the law will possibly admit; ever bearing in mind that the life of a man
is never to be endangered but as the last melancholy effort for the maintenance of order and obedience to the laws.
Your excellency will please to instruct the officers so appointed, to have correct muster and pay rolls made out and transmitted to this department, of such militia as they may find it necessary, in the execution of their duties to call into actual service.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, Your excellency's obedient serv't, HENRY DEARBORN, Secretary of War.
His Excellency, the Governor of Conn. LEBANON, Feb. 4 1809.
SIR, I have received your letter of the 18th January, conveying to me a request of the president of the United States, that as commander in chief of the militia of this state, I would appoint a select number of officers of our Militia, to whom the collectors of the customs may apply for military aid in certain cases, which may by them, be thought necessary for compelling obedience to the laws of Congress enforcing the embargo.
I have had the subject of this request under my most serious and mature consideration; the final result of which I now have the honor to communicate to you.
I have reflected that neither the constitution, nor statutes of this state, have given to the commander in chief of its militia, any authority to make such appointments of officers as has been requested; nor does my information suggest to me, any authority given to the president of the U. States, derived either from the constitution or laws of the United States, to call upon the executive of an individual state to take an agency in appointments, such as are contemplated by the request mentioned.
Conceiving also as I do, and believing it to be the opinion of the great mass of the citizens of this state, that the late law of Congress for the more rigorous enforcement of the embargo, is unconstitutional in many of its provisions, interfering with the state sovereignties, and subversive of the guaranteed rights, privileges, and immunities of the citizens of the U. States, I have from these considerations, deemed it peculiarly and highly improper for a state executive to contribute its volunteer aid in support of laws bearing such an aspect.
An when I reflect upon the extent of measures which must probably be resorted to for the enforcement of this law; a law which from the means contemplated for its support and execution, it would seem is to require all the military and naval force of the union I cannot suppress my deep anxiety for the events it may produce.
I might also add, that I cannot be induced to risk my responsibility to the public by contributing towards placing a "serious power" in the hands, and at the disposal of men in whom I should not be able in all instances, to repose the fullest confidence:— more especially, when their individual acts and measures, may not always be under the regulations of the best motives, and when their proceedings in execution of this law, will naturally tend to put at an extreme hazard, the peace, lives, property, and dearest rights of our fellow citizens.
Under this view, therefore, of the subject, and with these considerations before me, my mind has been led to a serious and decided determination to decline a compliance with your request, and to have no agency in the appointments which the President has been pleased to refer to me.
While I take the liberty of thus declining this agency, you will be pleased to recollect, that on all former occasions, when constitutional applications have been made to this state, for the execution of the constitutional laws and requisitions of the Union, the promptitude and readiness of their compliance, have merited and received the approbation, if not the applause, of the general administration of the United States.
With all due consideration, I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, JONATHAN TRUMBULL. Hon. Secretary at War.

MR. SNOWDEN, The following receipt for an elegy, is at your service. Take for your measure the elegiac verse. Into which infuse dark shades, weeping willows, sighs wafted upon the passing gale, tears flowing upon graves, possessing the strange power of producing flowers, speechless grief, and a variety of other niceties, according to the whim, or taste of the maker. These form a modern elegy, very melancholy, affecting, dull and unintelligible, and make an excellent composing
draught, which may be taken without injury, every night.
Communicated for the Alex. Daily Gazette.
Our winter has been uncommonly severe, and I fear the rigor of it is not yet over, as it is and has for a long time been the custom here, not to expect warm weather till the geese leave our waters and fly with one accord to the north. On the 4th of this present month a large flock or gang of those animals was seen hovering about the capitol in Washington, where they had been for some time, not knowing which way to steer. About mid-day they dispersed with a great gabbling. An old philosophic gander that had been leader of the flock flew to the southward, the remainder flew north, south, east and west, some of them with tears in their eyes at the idea of never returning to enjoy the good pickings.
The oppressive measures of government, particularly the late enforcing act, have determined the citizens of the district of Rockbridge, in this state, to make a stand against the continuation of ruinous and disgraceful measures, by attempting to change their representative to congress. Meetings have been held, and it has been determined to run gen. James Brackenridge a candidate for the next congress.
The anti-embargo candidates, in Virginia, already declared, are Messrs. Eyre, Lewis, Brackenridge and Stephenson; we calculate from the information which we have received, that there will be three more. [Norfolk Ledger.
Cotton Cultivation.—Deron, in his 'Travels in South America,' has the following passages: "Indigo had scarcely obtained a distinguished rank among the commercial productions of Terra Firma, when the same honor was sought for cotton, which till that time, was ranked among a thousand local productions applicable to domestic uses, but unworthy to figure in commerce by the side of cacao. A hundred plants formed about the proportion of the largest plantation. In 1732 some planters effected that for cotton which others had unsuccessfully attempted for indigo. The vallies of Aragoa, Valencia, Araure, Barquisimeto, Varinis, Cumana, and successively several other places in the provinces of Caraccas, assigned a part of their territory to the cultivation of this plant.
"The cotton plant, says Valmont de Bomare, is one of the most useful productions furnished by nature in either continent, and manufactured with art by human industry. There is perhaps none less delicate respecting the nature of soil. It grows on almost all lands, and if any preference be shewn, it is in favor of those grounds which other vegetables reject. It only requires particularity to be protected from the north winds, which are destructive to it, by reason of the drizzling rains which accompany or follow them. Heavy rains are equally injurious. The same degree of humidity which gives vigor to the vegetation of coffee, cacao and the sugar cane, occasions the cotton plant to perish."
Nothing can be more ridiculous than the idea that G. Britain is dependent upon Carolina and Georgia for cotton. It may be cultivated in almost all India and other countries of Asia, in Mexico, and several of the west regions of South America, and in the whole continent of Africa. And all those countries are open to British enterprise and British commerce. It behoves our southern brethren seriously to consider, whether, by a prolonged embargo, they are not losing forever the market for their cotton, the great source of all their wealth and luxury.
