THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE. TIME
HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
SATURDAY. MORNING, October IS.

The encomiums of London Editor on Col
Pickering's Addresses to the People OF the
United States, are republished in our demo-
cratic newspapers as cruel reproach upon
;hat veteran patriot Col P. it is true, stands
in no need of British eulogy to establish his
character among the intelligent part OF his
ceuntrymen by them'it is we'll known and
esteemed /: yet it is gratifying to find his
merits acknowledged by foreigners, Our
readers will be pleased in perusing the re-
marks of the London Editor relative to the
affair between Messrs. Madison and Smith
they are correct, and of course liable to de-
mocratic censure.
s, From Tie London DAY.
{" In the exposure OF the principles Of such
men T Madison and Smith J this country has
an interest, not less perhaps than America
herself !; but their defamatory and hbellous
publications are wholly unworthy OF states
men, and much beneath the dignity of serious
animadversion or deliberate comment. The
address of Mr. Pickering consequently passes
over, and with great propriety, every circum-
stance of their indecent alteration, though it
must have Teen fully known to him at the
time Of writing his address, with all its atten-
dant opprobrum and concomitant infamy.-
His powerful reasoning is levelled directly at
the vicious system by which his country has
suffered, and is in danger of suffering STILL
MORE, without an observation being wasted
upon the squabbles of those who have hither-
to been the great instruments in promoting
the activity and operation of that system. If
Americans be determined to be blind to their
own interest they will be deaf to the warning
voice ofthis vlridical prophet. They may by
disregardng his solemn monitions, realise the
poetic fatality of Cassandra's prediction; but
they sho, Id beware lest the fate of Troy
should befel their country, and in the destruc-
ton of their liberties and independence, they
should find confirmation of the wisdom of
the sage, who had forwarned them of their
danger"
Who will deny the correctness of these
sentiments? The Democrats themselves can
not, without gross inconsistency; for one set
of them supports Smith, and another set sup
ports Madison, and the London Editor does
not seem much inclined to support either.
{. 1t will all be put to rights at the day of
Judgment" said Trim.

A letter from an intelligent American mer-
chant, now in Liverpool, to his friend in New
York, dated 2sth August last, says" have
made it part of my business, since my arriv-
al to learn the state of American produce, and
am impressed with belief that this country
will not want any thing Of consequence from
the United States for year to come. There
are large stocks on hand, and the consump-
ton of many articles decreases. The crops of
grain have been very abundant, and well Sc
cured; therefore they will not want any sup
plies from America at a high price"
