Or Monday, the 18th Of March last, died Ma.
THANIEL POPE, of the county of Hanover,
IN the 49uh year of his age. When man, who
has been long engaged in pursuits, which carry
him frequently into public view, is snatched sud
denly from his friends and the world, it has be.
come usual in our country, for some intimate ac-
quaintsnce to announce his death in the news-pa.

slons pursued, even when the general department
OF the deceased has not been favored with tile an
probation OF society. The voice Of censure is 81.
fenced by the solemnity which surrounds his
tomb. The hatred of n msgnanimOus enemy is
inferred with him, the existence of evil habits is
forgotten, and his virtues are remembered only
to be honored. This charitable disposition ti
mankind cannot certainly he condemned, when
we reflect, that it has its foundation in tie BELLE
that another and more unerring tribunal than
public opinion, is employed in passing Judgment
on the departed man, and fixing his destiny for c

of the dead by publishing reports injurious to hi,

I request the candid eatler to compare this G.
whence with the charge extracted fium the re-
port ~ the armoury committee and published i'm

have made /" considerable excrtions :" vet in the
same breath they accuse me, by the strongest inn
pication, OF depending on common safe iron :
and reproach me for not having made standing
contracts wth some forge for warranted iron.
Have depended on common sale iron The
charge, if understand it, means that have ia
ken up iron many ofthe shops, wherever it was to
be hadi without reference to its quality, and
without any power of throwing il back on The
seller, lift should be found, experiment! unfit
tor use. Let the correspondence and affitiavi,s
which have been exhibited, be my answer to this
charge--But ought to have made standing con-
tracts for warranted iron and what benefit |
ask could be derived from such contracts which
was not equally derived from the kind of cen
tracts which did make II it should be argu-
ed, that the warranty would act as a sti,twlsr
to the seller, to make his iron Of the best quality
asi. how it would thus act The answer will
be, because the seller would know that uness
he complied with his warranty, lis iron would
be returned upon his hands but this was pre-
cIse!y the nature ct my engagement with the va
rio's torges in this state and Col Gamble
proves that this condition was rigidly fulfilled
1t is not easy to read the letters from the various
owners OF FORCES above published, and to be-
ileve that any other species ofcontracts than that
which existed, could have put them up to high
or eNertions. 1t is true the contract with war.
ranty might have produced another effect the
warranty, ifnut complied with, nigh; have sub
