happy consequence of causing the people to
despise their Representatives. II the ma
iori,y men in congress could only hear me"
, Of all tsrfies speak OF them' wish they
would adjourn, take off the non intercourse
and not t-iAe with the people any longer,
they would be appalled,. But the fact is so;
and though the Aurora may feel ashamed
TO tell It 70 them, we will do our duty
They have spun out>a session OF eons'de-
rable length withou. doing any thing to re-
Iieve the people from the intolerabie Dur
dens imposed on them by democratic mis-
rule. They have tansalized them Tor
months, and no wonder their patience IS
exhausted. But we do not blame the re.
representatives. 80 much as those who elected
them. So long as men are elected from par
ty motives, and not from a conviction OF
possessing superior talents and integrity,
so long will the country be nerveless and
inefficient and the people oppressed.
The Mosaic law allowed only thirty and
nine stripes to be inflicted on offenders,
but Bap,s Irvine, the democratic Wig of
Baltimore, seems s2,sed to ibaict at least
one hundred more on his political friends
in congress. While we disapprove OF the
indecent manner in which the Wing treats
the democratic representatives, we re'puo-
lish it to shew the world what opinion that
party entertain of the men to whom they
gave their votes. Talk not OF democratic
virtue after this. e"

STRANGE THINGS:
we haze seen strange things to-day"
Luke, v. rs.
FIRST LESSON. -
1t is strange, that the majority in con-
gress, having lost their character, should
display no desire to regain it /; i. c. that
having persuaded every person of their in
capacity to govern, they should not be
anxious to convince the public to the con.
trary.
1t is strange, that nominal republicans
forsake their old professions, and fall in
love with Hdm;kon's schemes of banking
and iuance-merely because Gallasin pro.
poses them anew.
It's strange, that the representatives of
freemen are inclined to submit; (their re.
solutions, oaths and duties, to the contrary
notwi,hstandingD
1t is strange, that the majority iE con-
grcss, can look at each ether for three or
FOUR MONTHS, meet, 'sdjourn, pick
the peoples pockets, and do--nothing-all
without blushing for their desen-racy.
1t is strange, that VIC have a non. inter.
course with England, and yet four Amer.
can vessels. arrive at Liverpool per day.
Its strange, that though some Of cur
members Of congress are Of opinion tina,
the non.intercourse law, 10 not in force, yet
nothing is done or proposed, to remedy. the
evil. .... u.
1t 10 strange, that one man can dictate to
"a. add lead them wheresoever he will.
1t 10 strange, that majority Of congress
seem disposed to adopt their convoy bill,
the submission principle proposed by Gal.
latin to Mr.. Erskine. -.
1t vii! be stranger than all these things,
it this pusillanimous jun,a 10 no, overturn
the republican party So
And most strange, that any Of the sub.
mission men expect an honest citizen can
have The fool hardy semerity to. defend
them, q" when the next elections comes
about.
SECOND LESSON.
