by daily experience, have become the bsa iut,g-
es. That by trulting to the prccarious medium
of obtaining arms on contracts with individuals,
by whole death. bankruptcy or various other
cain.l'ies, the fupplies were fuhjeGted to inter-
ruption and failure, antthe commonwealth diff

country. and being Of permanent contribution,
TINS ed'iice may laf for ages, and be handed

even now in the infancy of the ehabl;ihment,
we are manufacturing arms of quality greatly

GENERAL HORATIO Gates.

While America, in the poHeflion of
freedom, peace, and unihackled induf-
try, enjoys the glorious achievements
of her heroes, they are defending
fucceilively to the grave. Within
thefe few days another of her ablelt
commanders and mott faithful citi-
zens, General Gates, has followed
Montgomery, Greene, and Wafhing-
ton. The inevitable certainty Of this
doom does not the lefs awaken our
regret but when exalted worth is
thus retiring for ever from our view,
let public fervice and public happinefs
be the iuil mealures of our gratitude.
General Gates more fortunate than
many of his illuftrious colleagues,
lived to fee the catle of liberty and
American independence not only tri-
umphant but confolidated and, with
this fweetef recompenfe Of his tolls
and dangers, had the highel prof.
pe6tive fatisfaa aion of a patriotic mind
when dying it was bis firm opinion
that he could form no better with for
his country, than that the political
condition and progreflive profperity in
which he left it might be perpetual.
America was the country of his
choice, England thar OF his nativity /;
and there he is iaid to have imbibed
thofe principles Of liberty and reff-
tznce to oppreilion which caufed the
revolution in 1858. This early and
uniform attachment is a charaderiltic
the more commendable, as he enter
ed the Britifh army young and retain
ed in it the independence of his mind
and principles. With the example
of their acknowledged fkill and bra
veryit vas natural that an officer,
whom nature had endowed with a
happy difpo6tion, ihould largely par
take of the fpirit of his corps and lay
the foundation of that military excel
lence which was to difplay itfelf in
that beit and noblef caufe. He 70

Cagf yfhs Murder Of Pierce !


In 1894, John Jay, federalilf, wa.
fent to England TO make CONNER.
cial treaty. Every one knows how
ridiculouily he sded at the court ol
ST. James's-how he lowered the
dignity of the United States-how he
fullied the luffrc Of our independence.
He bent his knee TO the Queen, and in
the iawning attitude ofa courtier, kif-
fed her hand Well there's no great
harm in killing the hand of Lady,
provided the objed of the killing be
good. But he went down on his
marrow. bones to kits the Kings hand,
and in that humble poaure Rated, in
reference TO the treaty he was about
10 make, that he relied entirely on the
" well known jultice and Msgnanimi-
fy" Of oldking George A very pretty
Plenipo. truly 80
Whar was the confequencc of this
reliance !! Lord Grenville wrote the
Bri,iih treaty, in which it is itated that
all vefIeIs fhall be fubjeded to Britilh
fearch ; and it is further provided, in
this memorable inffrument, that in or
der TO feareh, Britifh ihips may fire
to bring veHels to This treaty was
made and ratified by the federalilt ?
Now, in purluance of this treaty, 10
made by John Jay on his bended
knees, the Leander brought to the
floop Richard, from Brandywinc-
fred to bring her to, and Murdered
