themselves 70 adhere to the policy by which
MI. JeHerson has been guided, ght to be
elevated to the most digni6ed Offices in the
country by their free suHrages.
We wish the men fthe nation by no means
to forget, that our present rulers will feel
themselves bound if they respect their word
or.haye any regard for consistency, to perse-
we're IN supporting the Intellectual and disas-
trous system, that is now operating upon,
not small portion, but every part of our ex-
etensiYe countrY---from Georgia to Milne
from the Atlantic to the lakes, We wish
them also 20 remember, that the federalists
have opposed this Embargo from the first
moment that it was proposed--that some Of
the most illustrious statesmen OF the COM
munity have opposed It with all their elo-
quence, and brought against 1t all their inhu-
ence-that they have entreated our peryerse
rulers to abandon their needless cause, and
open once more the ten thousand channels
through which the fruits ofour honest indus
try were borne into the depots OF other natl
ems. Let them also bear IN mind, that we
have duplicated in vain for an emancipation
from commercial and agricultural restriction,
and that the people have cxpostulated witaout
being heard with that reverence which IS due
from those whom they have covered with ho-
hors --honors which they have proved them
selves unable to sustain, and OF which, 1t Is
both hoped and believed, they will soon be
despoiled. Washington Federahst.

To the gentlemen of the bar this IS work
of utility. A Law Journa! was established IN.
London in 1908, which has been productive
of benefit not only to he proprietor, but to
the community at large. The frequent re-
eurrence of publication, enabled the Editors
to give the earliest intelligence of new and
important decisions or points in which the
commercial world was deeply interested -
while the Communities of invisibliity, offered
a fair opportunity to professional gentlemen
to prosecute their researches by anonymous
communications. The first law characters
in Great Britain entered the lists OF contro-
yersy in that field, while those of less know
ledge have silently. gazed and acquired expe-
rience from the contest.
MIR. H. proposes publishing his Journal up
on the same plan, and we hope he may meet
with suitable encouragement.

verses:
And live ] yet, by power divine.
And have still my course to run !!
Again brought back, in. its decline,
The shadowsof my parting sun!
Wand ring ask, is this the breast,
Struggling ISOLATE with griefand pain,
The eyes which upwards LOOKED for rest,
And dropp'd their weary lids again.
The recent horrors still appear J s
Oh may they never cease to ave.
Still be the king of teiTors near.
Whom late in all his pomp save
Torture and grief prepaid his way, 4
And pointed TO a yawning tomb;
Darkness behind eclips'd the day,
And checked my forward hopes to come
But now the dreadful Storm Is Ger
Ended at last the doubtful strife;
And living the hand adore, 81,
That gave me back again my life.
God of my life what Just return
Can sinful dust and ashes give

While mark'd with blessings every hour
Shall speak thy jcosex.endsd. praise.

to the support of their measures. They
have been.left entirely in the commons

immediate dependents in office. Not
one OF their majorities has shewn that
they carry with them the sense of the
house, and day by day their numbers
have declined. In the house of lords,
last night, they were left in positive
minority. The numbers, on motion
of lord Grenville for the production of
certain papers which would verify the

forty-seven peers, as will be seen from

A circumstance rather remarkable
