We understand, that when the de-
mocratic Collector who lately abscoD-

H Reason for WQr !!

Should the United States be plunged in
10 War, because Mr.. Secretary Smith
chose To take offence at the shacozp Of
shade of host of an 8 insinUation," it would
be nearly as rational as the L:lliputaEs
quarrelllng with their neighbours of Blefu-
sen respecting which was the proper end
of an Egg TO be broken.-Ibid.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser. (Portland, Me.) 1805-1818, 1810-01-29

The law defines that an unlawful and RI
otous assembly, is where number Of per-
sons are called for any nef.riuns design,
TO disturb the peace, to pull down enclo-
sures, or do any violence to the rights and
property Of any good citizens. IF the con-
sciences Of some Of the majority in congress
do not arraign them for breaches of the
constitution and violations of the rights and
Liberties Of the subject surely court Of
Justice may take cognizance of them for
breaches Of the peace. For they have not
only endeavored to take the lives Of one an
other, but are striving to destroy the liber-
ty Of speech, to break down the enclosures
of the constitution, and TO violate the li5er-
ties of those who contribute their exertions
to maintain them.
