There was some time since marriage
negotiated by bill of exchange, in one of
the English islands of America the cir
cumstasces of which are so whimsical, that
believe such OF my readers as have not al

relation.

in the enjoyment OF it, unless he shared II

correspondent of his at London. He knew
no other style than he used in trade; there
fore treating affairs of love as he did his
business, after giving his friend in letter,
several commissions, and defering this for
the last, he went on thus-Item, seeing that

GO Tie Tories %" The Tories 20

The following unquestionable facts are
stated by writer in the IN. y Orange
County Patriot.
Revolutionary officers, whose white
hairs and Scared bodies, bear testimony TO
their hard duly in the service of their coun-
try, have been branded with the naTae Of
Tory, by young men, who were not quick in
their mothers wombs-when the persons
they stigmatize, were exposing their bodies
to the point of the British bayonet, Men
who have not resided FIVE years in the coun-
try, have been heard to vent the epthets Of
Tory and British Partizsn, against those vet
eran soldiers who, when England was en-
deavoring 10 riyet her chains on Us, stood in
the breach, and faced the fash of the Brit

men who marched at the side Of Washing

sometimes without food, in the hour of trib.
ulation, and in the moment of peril, breast.

amidst The din of battle.-Against men, {.

This charge which democrats every
now and then bring up against the fed
eralists, is started afresh by some parson
somebody, probably of the family of
crazy Davis or Stanley Griswola, a.
gainst Gen. Cobb, the 1t. Governor Of
Massachusetts. Gen. Cobb was one Of
Washington's Aids during the revolu-
tionary war, and most intrepid SOL
der ; he was also the Judge who, on the
bench atWorcester,when theinsurgents
under Shays surrounded the court
house and declared there should be no
court, replied he would either hold
court as Judge, OF die at the door Of the
court house as colonel Of militia, and
carried his point. Such character the
democrats must necessarily dislike, and
as they delighted in caluniniating
Washington, SO they are now very hap
ny in defaming his companions and fell
low soldiers.

Constitution. The motive for its adoption
was quite apparent. II was to stiHe the mi
nority that the majority might pass any
bills they chose, with just as much debate
AS they thought proper. Three or four days
were lost in discussing this Ubiquitous rule,
at the rate Of about 1000 dollars day. lis
unconshtutionality was so apparent, that lis
friends at last consented to abandon it as a
shameful thing. Indeed it could never be
carried into effect. Nothing but main force
could have prevented the minority from
speaking /; and the Speaker would not have
dared to order the Sergeant At Arms to en-
force silence. Had such rule been bro'i
forward by the iederalis.s i'll 1898, the same
men who have advocated this rule, would
have been ten times as violent against ii
as they were against the sedition act.
