THE AposTATE PINKNEy.-Thls man who'
at the last MARYLAND election, went completely
over to the democrats, and was made sena-
tor for his reward, had for some time, been
playing fast and loose with them. 1t seems
he was at a loss to know how he would be-
received, which he was we'll aware must de-
pend on their duly approaching his real cha-
racter. He accordingly waited to receive some
unequivocal evidence of the proper light In
which he was held At length, the article
which follows, from the Baltimore Wing,
met his notice, and satisfied him that ne was
well understood; on which he instantly made
tender of himself which was accepted.
:" AS there are some things which must be
published, sooner or later, we lose no time IN
'aying Pinkney's letter to Wellesley before
our readers--though there is nothing OF
pleasing nature in either that or the reply-the
one is diffuse, minute, tedious and vapld the
other is smooth, cautious and somewhat dark
being rather justification OF jackson
and an affront to America than other
wise but they assent, reluctantly, to re-
cal him for sake of his majesty's pure love
to America If Pinkney's style is dlsgustful,
his behavior is infinitely more so---it was eX-
travagantly obsequous and mean. He talks
with Wellesley like parasite or a mendicant,
and alterw. rds as he himself tells us, he runs
like lacquey to the British secretary, with
his own letter, and was doomed to wait TWO
MONTHS and TWELVE DAYS for an answer!
But, we caution the reader to Judge for
himself Relieving, as we do. that Pinkney
possesses neither bright talents, sense OF
honor or political integrity; believing, that
he has dishonored his mission, sulllcd his Dig
nitv, and degraded our country, by his recent
harangues to set of English squires, fox
hunters, lords and gentlemen, in which he
confessed his gratitude for unexpected notice
and undeserved kindness, sc. sc. NE are
unfit perhaps, to deal "equal and exact JUS
tice'' to the minister. He has renamed too

THE NIISER.

The following beautiful alicgory is extracted
from Mr.. Knat's Grafton, delivered before
the Me,rimack Humane Society (JVezO6u'y-
fort, Massachusetts at their late anntOer-
Sary.
Charity, in walking her rounds OF duty,
met rich but hard hearted man, who had that
day, made thousands by a successful specu-
Iation she asked of him little portion OF his
great wealth to assist her in softening the woes
of human life she pointed to an hospital
full of maniacs uIder her care; the rawlings
of madness and the wailings of despair pierced
the air around them, but they did not enter
his marble bosom. She next directed his at
tention to howell, in which was seated an old
man, broken with misfortunes, and bowed
down with years he was wringlng the cold
dews Of the night from his matted and silver
ed hair mark him, says Charity, he is an
aged patriot, who has thrice saved his coun-
try-a Bellisarius, driven from his home bya
faction, and obliged to beg his bread, and wan
der in exile; look at his tears, how eloquent
ly they plead in his cause; the monster des-
pissed the patriots worth. She then showed
him an orphan band, and described with PHYS
fervor their constant sufferings, and thel: de-
ceased parents virtues he listened, but his
adamantine breast would not receive the holy
influences Of charity-but she, in pity to the
wretch, was unwilling to leave him, and en-
treated him to give her something for life
boat to float on the river which rolled rapidly
by them; she mentioned the frequent fate OF
unhappy travellers plunged in the waves; at
that instant youth, full of life and gaiety,
was seen in the current, managing with care
less and ignorant hand the skiff which bore
him. Charity noticed his danger, & the churl
saw and exclaimed, Great Con 7! my only
son. The words had scarcely escaped his lips
when the boat dashed against rock the
youth bore up against his fate awhile, but
Charity could not relieve him, for she had no
means, and he sunk forever. The angel of
mercy had spread his wings to bring gsuccor,
but Eternal Justice forbade his flight; for the
register of Heaven did not contain the record
of any good deed of the father, nor was there
any prayer, nor any blessing for his welfare,
written in the book of life. He wandered
wild and insane until Charity, unmindful of
her wrongs, led him to her hospital of mani
acs, and begged the bread for his support;
for strangers had seized on his possessions,
and aliens devoured his sustenance.'

War of all the calamities which bettl man

10 commentator.
Perhaps there are not on earth people
who possesses more native frmness, hardness,
and enterprise for war, than those OF the u.
States or that would more chertully, under
proper direction, encounter every danger ana
privation. This has been amply proved, IN
{" those times which tried mems souls s and
it is pleasing to behold the breast OF the young
warrior, laudably beating high to resent lnlu-
ries done to his country, and ready to FISK his
life in her defence-But War, the great and
momentous question of War, is profound
one, and must be decided by the sound, dell
berste Judgment of the sages in council.
That the commerce of our country has long
stuff cred injury and spoliation which would
warrant war, if it were our duty or Tor our
interest, will be readily admitted, but at this
point wisdom dictates nice calculation.
If the dignity, honor, independence and we'll
being of the United States, demand War, the
citizens will cheerfally & vigorously support
| it. But it is an important question, whether
this demand is now made, or that negotiation
! is exhausted, beyond the reach OF just and
magnanimous conduct, in all concerned, and
| the enjoyment of as much as can be nationally
expected, in the vicinity of the vortex OF an

TRANSACTIONS.

VERA CRUZ, FEB. Sunday (Jan
~ an American brig and schooner en-
tered with provision, supposed to Be
necessary, but this government imme-
diately dismissed them and gave them
but half an hour to remain in port, be-
cause it IS known, that their coming
here was not influenced by the desire
of succouring US, and it was therefore
presumed that the confusion Of this
kingdom would allow of their entering
into clandestine negotiations, similar to
those they carried on in St Domingo,
to the injury Of all civilized nations.
Othertzpeditions, it appears, are rea-
dy in the United States, for this port,
but they with not have the pleasure Of
entering the bay.
