"We have noticed paragraph IN the
Gaxette of The United States, fgned "a
Citizen of Berklhire," relative to COM
mun:cation which was rcpublilhed in the
Aurora, from the National Hgis', of
/" Sept. 1T, entitled Federal ConGfen-
cy." Il is tue the name of " The
sodore Sedgwick" was Inherited on the
republication of the piece in the Aurora.
It is equally true thar neither his name,
or any other, was introduced, as it hrit
appeared in the Egis. 1t is alto true
that he 4vas nat ibe feyfou alluded to by
the author of that communication but a
Gentleman refdiug in different County,
who cannot have failed to apply 1t to
himfelf.
!" We cenGder this explanation IS an
act of juaice to the character OF the Hon.
Mr.. Sedgwick, for which we have the
highef relpeet. We leave the Editor OF
the Aurora to explain for himielf, this
angular mutilation of the piece extracted
from the Hgls.
The above paragraph contains pill
for Duane we think he will take 1t with
fomewhat of wry face, but his readers
will never hear of it; it is darling max
i'm with him, and his coadjutor Cheetham,
never to correct mifake. The latter
has indeed, once or twice, attempted II,
bur in 70 awkward manner, thatmoit OF his
his readers have been lofs to know whe-
Their his paragraph was intended as cor
rettion or confirmation. Do the public
begin to perceive the difference with which
the news papers on both fides are conduct
ed, when in the hands of thefe unprinci-
Piled foreigners, & when in thoie OF native
Americans And how long will they
beaow patronage on the former to the
neglect of the latter ? But ii is a branch
of the Jacobin doctrines OF the day to
fofter aliens and let citizens PERTH to
profefs philanthropy for the whole hu-
man race, black, white and yellow, but
to feel the mott perfect indifference for
thole with whom we are connected by the
ties of friendfhip or blood. Thus fays.
Goodwin, it is unjnf for man to feel a
fuperior affection for his own wife and
children, universal philanthrophy ought
to reign in every boiom, and foreigner
of whom we never heard before, ought to
be as dear to US the frf moment we fet
eyes on him as the friend who mwe had
been accunomed to zvear III our hearts
care. ibid
THE firm, energetic, yet relpeaful tone in
which the kentucky Legislature have memorials
lied the PreGdent and Cougrcfs. Rrongy implies
their expectation that government will enforce by
prompt and Deceive meafures, the right of Depo
fit at New Orleans, which the Spaniih intend
ant has by an unwarrantable and icandalous
breach of treaty recently deprived US of. The
impraccability of obtaining timely redreis by
negotiation of this unexampled outrage on our
rights, would fully and completely juffify usin
relorting to that expedient which is the ultima
tum of sggrieved and injured nations. In fueh
a criis, delay leems pregnant with the mott IA
talconiequences to the union, and the moral I'M
poiihiliry Of reftraining the inhabitants of the
Weellrn Country from enforcing their rights,
will in ITS various tendencies and effects be a.
mong the mott alarming and evinces the una
v0iiabe neceHity of giving way TO a torrent,
which only requires co be conducted with pru-
depce and wifdon. !, Poul. D. Adv.
