III elective government my Father and bro
theirs fought for liberty and the rights Of plan
against British tyranny (; and l, as son to
him whose body now moulders in the dust,
whose soul trust is in heaven, never will
surrender my rights and liberty, as secured
by the constitution, only with my life and
property. But, sir, for my thus taking. this
stand against fede raism, am called turn
coat, an ofice-seekcr, sc. sc. l will give
you an account of their turning their coats.
In the year 1870, the federalists turned and
supported Arthur Fenncr for governor, who
who WAS then called an an.i.ederalist, TO the
exclusion of William Green, who had been
beat from being governor by John Collins, an
an,iteceralist, In the year 1885. The fede-
raisls in the year 1902, turned again, and
supported William Green for governor a.
gainst Arthur Fenncr, who they, In the year
1890, had requested to be candidate for
governor, and for whom they all voted. The
iedcralists turned again in 1906, and support
ed Richard Jackson, Inn for governor TO the
exclusion OF William Green, or Ja5ez Bowen
The tederslisls, In the year 1907, turned -
gain, and supported James Fenner, a repub-
lican, whom they call democrat, for govern
or, TO the exclusion of Richard Jackson, Jun.
tedcralist, the candidate they had run the
| year before, and who had several hundred
more votes than any other candidate. The
federalists, In the year 1871 turned again,
and supported William Jones, fcdaraist,
for governor to the exclusion of James Fem
ner, whom they had supported the three pre-
ceding years Tor governor, although he ayow-
ed his sentiments the whole time to be repub-
lican. The federallsts At Nay election, lSi l.,
turned again, when they had nineteen federal
majority in grand committee, and supported
| the warmest republicans in the highest Offices
| IN the State, TO the exclusion OF the most ac-
| tive and worthy federalists, and those too
who had done every thing in their power a,
April town meeting against the icderalists.
SO you see in the shor, period of twenty
| years, the federalsts have turned Sir times
| and perhaps more. Who is the most de-
serving to be called inconsistent, or a turn.
coat he who has turned six times, or he
who has voted but once dilfcren, for govern.
or in twenty-five years But, esteemed SIR

JoneSnian administration 10 those who were
the supporters of it, no question remains with
the best informed on the republican SIDE, bu
what i, Will expire with the political year

to-e according to this doctrine, he ought To have
tainely permitted the Little Belt to fire at, capture
and carry him into British port, because lie hap
pened TO be of greater force :!
But il is certainly d!y in the extreme, for
BRUSH trgate To fire upon an innocent merchant ,es'
sci, totally nna'rned, and having nothing on board
but passengers This magnaniaOus deed, the
age and p'O.ress of British commanders have often
ed them 10 commit and they are heartily welcome
To all the honour which they derive from such va
lor Jus achievements
The United States, it is believed, ought immedi-
aiely to despatch competent force to capture the
British trgate Melamrus, bring her into port, and
hold her hostage tor the safety of the Tamaah-
maah The following is the account;
NEw-YoRK, June "a, 1871.
The brig Tamaahmaah, Capt. Skiddy, sailed from
this port ON Friday last for Bordeaux, with about 20
passengers, md no cargo. At +, NJ she PASSED
the Light-house, and at eight she captu ed by
the British frigate Meiampus about 10 or III miles
from Sandy Hook Light house, in fathoms water.
The passengers with their baggage, were permit
ted To return To this port, and came up OH Saturday
evening in the Pilot-boat Thorne.
lhe captain OF the Meiampus took capt. Skiddy,
and all his except the chief mate, out of the
brig, and sent prize master and crew on board and
ordered the brig to Halifax for adjudication I'VE
received the above account from the passengers
The following ls an extract Of capt skiddys let
ter, dated on board the Melampus, off Sandy Hook,
June ODD 1871.
81 am sorry to inform you, that was chased and
boarded last evening, after O'Clock, by the British
ttigae Meiampus, capt Hawker, who is going to
send me into HalifaX.- They have taken all hands
out of the brig, myself included, except the mate
Capt hauker says he regrets that his orders oblige
him TO send in all vessels bound 10 France Il was
very hazy when fell in with the frgate, and several
sail in sight did not distinguish what she n-
Tilt was too late-l however tackled and stood in |;
She 'ed several shot, and neared US, she held the
breeze more in the o.ing; and the last shot
yer us thought it inprudent to risk the lives of
the passengers IN perslstng, particularly We were
losing the breeze, and the frigate kept it longer
We were taken within miles of the Hook.

Arrived at this port yesterday morning,
brig Mary and Eliza, capt. Parsons, SIS days
from Oporto. Sailed 2oth May.
Capt. p. informs that hard fought battle
took place at Almeida, on the 7lh May be-
tween the combined armies and the French,
which continued until the morning of the 9Th,
when the French tetreatcd--that Almcida
surrendered TO the English, in which were
found vast quantity of stores, artillery and
plate, which the French had pundercd--thal
on the morning the battle commenced, Mas
sena had received reinforcement Of II, 600
mcn---that on the 8th the English were pur.
suing the French, and it was supposed would
drive them completely out Of Portugal--that
the English accounts stated the loss Of the
French 10 be at 5000 in killed and wounded,
and the combined armies at $500. The ac-
counts were various relative 10 the forces OF
the armies. The combined army was stated.
at from GO 10 10000 men, and tho French
from 40 to 10000.
Since the above, capt. p. has further stat
ed, that two days after the above reached o.
poro, letter was received from Portu-
guesc officer, stating that the battle had been
severe and that their loss (thc Portuguese
"'~ L'bhSi arlHieo) was from 10 oOOO, anu
that the next day after the firing had ceased,
the French passed within sbo, OF their lines
and were fast rctrea,ing. This Information
capt. p. derived from his merchanl who saw
the letter.
Schr. George has arrived at Kingston

circumstantial account of the battle.
From Cad=-rhe ship Ohio, Fratt, arrived at

that Russia had declared war against France, and
commenced hostile operations. These reports arc

more, in few days, under the direction Of per-
capable Of nstructng on his plan, than is usually
learnt in number of months. The rules are so
few and simple, that most persons may make them
sufficiently familiar for common writing, by practising
a short time only. This is opnioa torIn@d fran
observation MIR. RAND was lately III town, and in
structed a considerable number in the above mode
Of writing, and feel pleasure in stating, his in
structons, few instances excepted, were very high
ly satisfactory. The number small tllat did
not improve, that attribute the failure to want Of
proper attention the part of the learners. The
improvement generally was great and in few ca

which is valued at more than fifty dollars Consider

G.. s. A. RICHMOND, situated in Narket.strcet, was
entered through the window, by breaking the shut
ter and glass and watches and jewelry TO the a.
mount of roo dollars stolen thererom The eJld-
ness Of the villains who comIni ted the crime, and
a consideration Of the mcritorious industry Of the
sufferers, excited general interest, an. large num-
Der of officers and citizens volunteered their servi-
ces TO the adjacent woods, where, it is NOR
ally CERTAIN from various circumstances the villains
must have concealed themselves We are happy TO
state their exertions far crowned with sue
cess, that two of those who committed the robbery
were discovered and apprehended, and most Of
the goods found concealed, in the swamp near the
Union Factory On examination, 1T appeared, that
there is considerable gang of these midnight rob-
bers in this town ard vicinity, nearly all OF whom
have but lately been liberated from the Sate-prison
in Massachusetts. The Magistrates have been enga-
ged since Wednesday, in exploring and unravelng
the Pots and crimes of this diabolica combination
and their enquiries have not yet terminated. Two
others have been committed, and many have been
unprecedented and examined on suspicion. We learn
that some important disclosures expected and,
therefore, forbesr saying more on the subject at
