YARDS,

She federalists ofMassachusetts are
very cunning men Indeed, and.quite as
valiant as they are cunning. They
fpompously proclaim, in the first place,
that the republican administration has
design of going to war with Eng
land; and, in the second place, they
sagely resolve that it is not expedi-
ent to go to war with that power. As
New England is fanousNf,r her semi.
naries of learning, we are surprized
that the gentlemen have. drawn their
conclusion before they have establish
their premises. We know of only one
species Of logic by which their proce-
dure can be Justified, aud that is the
logic of Don Qaixotte, who very
gravely decided that wind mill was q.
giant aud then heroically assaulted it.
This is certainly very Convenient
method ofprocuring reputation for
sagacity, if for nothing else, as it is
only requisite to resofue upon paper,
and the thing is done. Whilst they
are in this wa, the federal legislature
of Massachusetts might as well resolve
that the republicans of the u. States
had dsJermIned ito set the town of
Boston or FIRE, aud by another reso :.
luton insist that 1t was expedient to
put tAe hre out. This would be fol-
lowing up the game they are playing
at present, and would just as clearly
prove 1hey are no incendiaries as their
late proceedings establish that they are
pdtrioSs, But we humoly hope that we
live in an age and in country whe
and where we may judge for our
selves and that we shall not be COM

"A FALSE IDEA.

THERE'S one idea which has been for
long time propagated, and which
many very sensible men in the United
SEa.es most firmly believe, namely,
that Great Britainscdnnot much longer
maintain the zOar, and that, of course,
she 1ulH soon be humbiea, and be COMPEL
ied6y necessity to do as justice. This
idea has made such an impression on
the minds OF many persons, that they
think It is only necessary 70 wait, to
have little patience, and that, without
a single effort on our part, every thing
will turn out right. The misfortune
of this opinion is, that it keeps us in
continual state of INDIGESTION, of in
activity, and makes us rely more up.
on our stars than upon our abilities.
In wise government, as little should
be left to. chance as possible. The
doctrine of fatality may do ia religion,
but 1t will never answer In politics.
Il system should be distinctly marked
out and 'Steddiiy pursued. All party
clamor should be disregarded-our
Legislators should act as i they were
writing their last will and testament,
reckless of whom it pleased, or whom
is notwithstanding to their sober,
serious, and sincere convictions. How
can the republicans forget that they
are the majority? How can they for
get that it is the business ola MAORI.
ty to act and ola minority to shuttle !?
How can they forget that the game
of the majority is concord, and that the
game of the minority is discard.
Extract of e letter from Member OF
Congress to the Editor of the Ar
gus, dated Washington, March 2.
"The course we shall pursue is YET
doubtful. The convoy stem appears
now most probable of any other TO
meet with the assent of G ingress. A
system of convoy which shall assert
our rights, and directly oppose the
principles of the orders and DEGREES OF
England and France. The fault of
Mr.. Burwell's proposition was, that il
did not oppose the principle of those
DEGREES and orders. The conduct oi
the Senate afforded great triumph
to the Feds, but they are now quite
chop-fallen, when they fad them :
selves in "a minority of 40 to "a. ]
believe, however monstrous 1t may
seem, that If they had been a5le to
push the decision on the amendment,
on the FIRST day they were sent US,
they would have been carried. The
Republican spirit is at length reused
among US, aud | think we shall YET
close the session in a manner, worthy
ofthe confidence OF a great people"
