The halcyon days arrived with FIR. OakcIy,
and to the astonishment of all who are dispos-
cd to look forward, this golden age lasted for
exactly thirty -ninc days, eleven hours, besides
some fractions Of minutes and seconds
But after this astonishing reign of tranquil

mitted go, (ior the aforesaid thirty nine days,
c.l---yea, TO pass upon the ocean unmolest-
ed--whcn the golden age was, as 1t were by
miracle, literally and morally rcalzcd--and
therein realizing all the dreams of the tenth
Congress and verifying all the profound con-
ceptions of that amazing statesman politician,
and natural philosopher, John Randolph, esq.
as really as the Philosophers universal nos

THE TENTH OPJUN.E.
1t seems there are to be rejoicings and din
ings, and drinkings, and toastings, this day in
various parts of. the United States, and the
proicssed object of these rcjoicings is " the
renewal of a friendly intercourse with Great
Britain
1t is rather inauspcious to this proposed
rejoicing that the Paciiick should have arriy-
else ahrchos--and brought such untoward IL
dings Tidings which SO to demonstrate
z only how much we have been plundcred and
insultcd,how easy we can overlook the wrongs
we have suffered, and lay up a large store of
cieduHty, upon which we are not long suffer
cd to reposc, before our paciiick dozings are
disturbed, and we are half awakened to our
folly by the shouts of laughter. and contempt

Lake at their carousals we rise, rub our
eyes, and they follow up the measure of de-
rison with another drop of delusion, and we
again reclihe upon the pillow, to be awakened
by blows upon our posteriors.
Wcrefer our readers to the essay Of the SEN
sib!c and ppwright writer Of the article un-
der the signature of MExroR,in this days Au-
rcya, which .llas been in our hands several
days, for an exposition Of the false policy pur-
sued towards a nation which has injured, and
will, whenever it suits her convenience or her
cunning always inure us. Her inveteracy a.
gainst US, we venture to predict, will be more
insidious than ever it has been, from the very
consciousness that we possess, in the Chinese
policy, full and competent means, whenever
the nation chuses to adopt them, to bring her
to the verge Of ruin, and to the necessity Of
abandoning her insoence.
1t would be q matter of fair rejoicing in
decd, were the policy of the British govern
ment towards the United States sincerely lib
eral and Just it would be matter OF Joy If
our pacihck Character insured to us the good
will, or even the honest conduct, of nation
which is SO largely dependent on US for her
wealth and the means even Of her existence.
But how are we treated even now.
Our infant manufactures arc DESTROYED by
ker incendiarics.
Orr markets are guttcd with articles to be
sold under first cost, the object of which is to
undermine and destroy the growing means of
our national industry.
Our ships in remote seas arc captured
Prociamations Of her colonial government
hold forth encouragement for the importation
OF our productions into their colonies, in Brit
ish ships only, while our Congress is trihing
away Its time in hearing tie vapid declama-
ssions, ard ~nthings about the baby-like pro-
jects of . ly and irritable Imagination.
! The exploded notions ofpolitical economy
Of the last century arc given'a argument on
the floor Of Congress, in opposition to the
policy of domcstick industry, which the dis
covcries Of the latter age, in labour-sa wing
machinery and chemistry, hare disarrsyed of
allthose horrours which 60 years ago render
ed the system Of manufacture a system Of
destruction ; but (which at this day, and in this
country, would be more solid security for our
peace and independence than navies or arm
