MARRIED on Thursday evening last by
the Rev. Mr.. Fenwick, Mr.. lillian Ste
rbhenson,, Merchant, of Smith6eld, Jefferson
county, (va.) to Miss Margaret Hogan, Of
this place.
WAat is to be done - This is a question
which is very frequently asked The Demo-
Gratis say, in answer to the cutting reproaches
of theFederalists We agree with you thar the
situation of thingsis really desperate, but as
you object 10 our plans let US hear what you
have to propose. No, reply the Federalists,
tand with good reason tool mo, gentlemen
contrary to our advice and warnings, you
have run the vessel Of state upon sand bank,
and ii is your business to get her of-you
drove US from the quarter deck, while the
ship was tight, well provisioned, in the lat
of Good Hope, with fine breezes, and a.sharP
look out kept for eakers; you degraded US
before the mast, and advanced landlubbers TO-
station on the quarter deck, altered the
ships course, and let the rats into the provi-
sion room; here she is on her beam-ends,
and every thump she gets loosens plank. L
is true, Il she sinks We share youf fate, but
what matters it if We perish upon this sand
bank or the next, for We are now surrounded
with them, and five were even to propose a
plan and succeed in righting her, you would
immediately run her aground again, zotu''aer-
Standing navigation
To this no answer is returned. The pre-
sent quarter deck men take another swig of
srog, resolving to live merrily as long as they
can.
But, THAT is 70 Be done! The crew dis
trust each other, and there is no longer any
confidence; The writer of this is aware Of
the difficulty, but yet he will venture to pro-
pose plan.
Let the Captain take the helm, call the
crew together, and make known to them In
the fullest manner the exact situation ofthings
81, go. -.t - :
having no conceaments, and endca7ouving to
restore confidence by sun1moning TO his cour-
sells the svtsest, most erherienced and honest
sean:cp, svtthOnt reference 10 harty. Let him
Kick the landlub5erss from the quarter deck,
expel the rats from the provision room, and
scrape off the 6arnacies which have attached
themselves to the ships bottom. Let the
heavy French iron guns, which strain the
ship very much, be thrown overheard and re-
placed with -ln,crfean brass which are light
and safe. Let all this be done with sincerity
and good faith, confidence will be'restored,
!" The long PAL, the st,ong 1aall, tdad|the 71sssu
altogether" willbe cheerfully made, and the
chances are thousand to one that the ship
will either be safely moored n good l1ar-
bour, or elserendered sufficiently strong and
! tight to weather any storm. Let the Enteri
| nsent be made--LET THE WARRINGTON
/ POLICY ONCE MORE BE,RESORTED
