No-E.-The general ticket law derives
its support and vindication from the prin-
ciple of self-defence, to Counterfeit the vari-
Gus modes of voting in other states, and not
from any principle in political justice which
authorizes us to suppress the voice of the
minority-that the balance of one single
vote should deprive thousands of their DO.
litical existence. But the author of Frank
lin advocates it from principle, and seems
to think it essential to ascertain the majo-

nor be counted. Let US Imagine the fol-
lowing Case that there were only THREE
STATES, one republican and the other two
mostly federal, and that each state had
right To 10 votes, and that they should vote

"DEAR SIR,
g have been duly favored with your
communication of the 10th inst. wherein
you express the strong suspicion you enter
tain that the embargo is, in great mea-
sure, if not entirely compliance with
the mandates If the emperor of France.
1t IS not within my knowledge or be.
lief that such mandates have been trans
mitted to the government; certainly nei-
Their myself nor the gentlemen who act
with me in supporting the administration,
ever yielded to such influence Never has
the independence Of our minds, or of our
characters, been bowed 20 a submission of
this kind
al always considered the story you re-
fer to as having been invented by the oppo-
sition for the sake of rendering the ruling
party odious and, as having been adopted
by some OF the republicans who acted with
them against the embargo bill, for the pur-
pose of justifying their conduct. AS such,
paid but little attention to it, but per.
mitted 1t to occupy the same place in my
memory that is assigned to the other sus-
/ picions and tables, iDdustriously contrived
against the administration, by its habitual
adversaries.
cit is but justice to add, that if you had
| addressed me on this subject AT an earlier
1 day, should have communicated to you
I these sentiments with the same freedom
and candor that l do at present. have
only 70 request, in addition to what have
written, that you would accept the assur
ances, &c.

to Mr. Prescott, closed the argument. 1t
now remains for the Judge to give his OPT

LIVERPOOL, Feb. %, 1905.

Ii EAPoOL, rep. rs, 1908.
-Four Gottenburgh mails arrived at
London on the 18th inst. being all that
remained due. They bring intelligence
OF the emperor Alexander having de
clared war against Sweden. This was
an event to be>expected. The Swedes
seem determined to act with vigour :;
and as Finlandis country full of strong
military positions, we hope that the
forces OF Sweden will be fully adequate
toits defence. When the last accounts
lett Gottenburgh, it was SAID that the
Russian army had entered Finland, and
that his Swedish majesty was adopting
che most vigorous measures for the de
renee Of his dominions. 1t is supposed
that a British squadron will be sent in
TO the Baltick for the purpose of co-ope-
rating with the Swedes, and protecting
them against any attempt which the
Russians or Danes might make to land
troops on their coast.
