bale OF one hundred feet, making the itruc-
ture nearly three times as large, and re-
CURED only feventy thouland dollars.
Could this be correea?, Both climates
certainly could not be true. The proba-
bility was that neither could be depended
upon.
For what purpofc was this great MATS to
be RATED He law no good purpofe like
" to be anfwered by it under the fun.-
Can ftones thew gratitude 1.-THE nation
wiihed to thew its gratitude, let them do
Thy making a hittory of thel life of Waih-
ington ichool-book. Our children then
will learn and initiate his virtues-This
will be rendering the higheH tribute to
his fame, by making it the inlfrument Of
enlightening the mind ard improving the
heart.
While there are fuch rational modes of
diitinguifhing the memory of Warrington,
can congress 70 far forget the intrreit OF
the nation; can they 70 far forget their
own duty, as to expend millions in acts
OF uieleis and pernic;ous oaentation Stree
the invention OF types, monuments are
good for nothing. The records of hiAory
will remain long after their decay or de-
Rruction.
We are told that the beA mode of perpe-
tuating the memory of Warrington is to
erect mauioleum. | have heard, {aid Mr.;
Macon, of Articles, have heard of Ham
den; but | have never heard Of naonu-
ments RATED to their memories. Yet thei,
Virtues ihine as bright now as they did
while they lived. l have heard of a place
called Weltminiier Abbey, full of the mo-
nunents Of kings; yet notwithstanding
theie grand memorials, ] have heard very
little OF them after they left this world,
and queition very much whether an,
man, let him have heard what he NAV. j;
ne were to so there could tell one of ti.en.
from, the other.
But, 1t is fad, that the monument pro
poied by the amendment, may be thrown
down and deRroyed by MODS or fchooI
boys. Gcd forbid that this flouId ever
be the cafe. do not believe, iaid Mr.
Macon, this to be poi1iblc. If it were
made OF glafs, frail as it's, it would B.
fate; all would revere, all would reflect
it.
The .houfe is told by, one gentleman,
who advocates the Mauioleum, that a ricl,
man IN Europe cannot lofe his mi9re(s
without rafting q monument to her me-
mory. Was the gentleman ferrous when
ne made this remark Would he place
the memory Of Warrington on footing
with that of a rich mans miarefs /. Bet
ter, Sir, laid Mr.. Macon, far better would
1t be, more honorable, to the government,
and more conformable to the with Of our
deceaied friend, to devote the ieventv
thouiand dollars, deGgned for Mauiole.
UNI, to the education Of the poor. Then.
indeed, we might hatter ourielves with
having extended the empire Of his virtues,
by making thofe underfand and initiate
them, who, uninarueed, could not com
prehend them.

the glory Of Warrington hang not on our
\ plaudits Hitory viii tranfniit to potdi-
~ the luitre Of his fame glittering With
pntarniihed purity. 1t is not in our pow
er eitherto increale or diminiih it. But,
Sir, we may initiate his virtues and his
great example. We are deeply intereA-
ed in holding them forth as Luxurious mo-
dels to our ions. Is there, then, / ak
you, any other mode for perpetuating the
memory of iuch tranlcendent virtues, 70
Arong, 70 impreaiye, as that which we
propole. The grandeur of the pile, we
with to raile, will impress fublilne awe
On all who behold it. 1t will furvive the
prefent generation. 1t will receive the
homage of our children's children; and
they will learn that the trueA way to gain
honor amidA a free people is to be ufsful,
10 be yirtuous.
This will not be the aH Of an indiyi-
dual. It will be the act of govern
ment expreing the will of a great nation,
ieize with rapture the location, that is now
preiented, thankful to the Supreme di(po-
Ter OF events for giving you all opportuni-
ty OF rearing fome future Warrington.
This is a great Object; frown then upon
.all the little efforts made to defeat it.
It is certainly true that if you erect a
FMauoleum, you mutt expend fome public
money. But are you not the guardians
of the public trealure? Does not the &C.
lection OF the belt Objects to which to ap-
proprlate It, devolve upon you? And
Can there be greater, a more patriotic.
purpoie than this? Is it not vet great
duty to promote the public good; and
can that be more completely promoted in
any other way? The fun aiked is feyen-
~ tiouiand dollars. Who can thew me
in what other manner the fame good can
le effected by 70 finall fums
But, it is faid, that<the. bill vets diff
erection in the iecretaries, and they NAV.
exceed the climate. 3 But, Sir, are the
iecrctaries unworthy of. confidence? Do
-npt we know that we may fately rely up
on them? BeGdes, if.thought expedient,
the expenditure may be limited. Thus
iurely, without prodigality on the one
hand, or pariimony on the. other, you NAV.

MIR. Macon did not pretend to know
much about thatskind of things propoicd
by the bill; but he believed, from the
little he did know, that, >1uch thing had
!. not been attempted for thoufand years.
The expence, attending the propoied mea-
lures, had been treated lightly. For him
felf, he was not diipofed to conGder fe-
'yenty thouiand dollars triAing fun. He
thought it a great fun: and believed G.
very man in the country thought as he
did. In forming his idea of any particu-
! lar fun. he was not carried away by the
vifonary notions of Ejaculation; he look.
ed at the laboar it required to produce it:
and he we'll knew how hardly earned was
the money from which this enormous fun
mutt proceed.
He further believed that no man could

Tin a communication from a politician Of
diRnguiihed rank abroad, it was fuggeRed that
many points Of resemblance could be found be-
tween the characters of BoNAPARrE and HAN
NiBAL, as the latter is decribed by the hi6orian,
Ivy. On confulting that author, the follow
ing tranlation was made. The clafIical reader
who wiihes 10 be feaLfed with Latin luxury, will
turn to the fourth fiction Of the twenty frt
book of Livy, in the Elzevir edition. The paf-

NO fooner had Hannibal arrived upon his
milton to Spain, than the whole army became
attached to him-The veteran folders believed
that Amilcar himleh was reiufcitated. They
beheld the fame vigor of countenauce, the fame
fire in his eye; the very lines and features Of his
face. He hortly fupercedes by his own merit
The necef1ty Of a recommendation from the lave
they bore for his father. Never was the fame
ability dfcsvered in one Perfon for dverfty
Of purluits he was fitted alike for obedience
and command 70 that it was difficult to dilcern,
TO which he was mott dear, the commander or
the army. Afdrubal would have feleaed no
one looner, for the execution Of any bold or ar
duous enterprise nor was the confidence or the
courage Of the folders greater under any other
chieftain. In " enterprises of great Pith and
moment he mingled much audacity with
much caution, His body was as incapable Of
being fatigued BY labor, as his mind Of being
overcome by it. OF heat and of cold he was
equally PARENT. His appetite was fatis6ed
with what is neceGary for fuaeDance, inRead
of Inquiries. His waking and 1eepiog hours
knew no determination of time into day and
night-what portion was not devoted to active
labors, was given to repole; not indeed on
beds of down, nor in the lilence Of retirement.
Many have often feen him, covered with fol
dier's cloak, lying on the bare ground among
the folders potts. His attire did not excel
that Of his equals in rank IN arms and epRp-
age he fprpaGed them. He was alike pre- en-
inent in the ranks Of infantry as ia the fquad.
rons of cAvalry-foremoR in advancing to the
field Of battle, and lat to leave it when the
battle was over.
So many manly virtues were counter bal
anced by correspondent number of hagitious
vices. He was monfer Of cruelty his per-
fdy worfe than Punic aduated by no regard
70 truth or fanaity-" the fear of Con was not
in him." nor had he any refpea to bis oath, OF
his religion. Thus endowed with virtues and
vices, he ferved three years under the com.

so early as the reign of Charles the 9th Of
France, contemporary with Henry the 18th OF
England, this fancy drefs was known among
the French. The king gave mafquerade, in
which hinielf and FIVE Courtiers difguifed their
perfons to initiate fatyrs, by covering their
naked bodies with clofe linen habits, which
were fmeared over with rofn, and tuck all
over with fnal feathers. One Of the company
in froIic, touched one Of thefe feathers with
lighted torch as they ware dancing in ring ;
the confequence was, all the fix mafks or fatyrs
were inveloped in flames inRantaneOuny four
Of the fix died, and the king never recovered
from the fright and diforder occafioned BY the
