THE PSEUDO RETERE.ND NR.
MILLER. .dGdIN.

A letter from very respectable gen.
rieman, dated 27th inst. states, that the
writer was informed, " the piece, which
appeared some weeks ago in demo-
cratic handbill, with Mr.. Miller's name
to it, turns out to be tie production OF
MIR. GEORGE MITCHELL, OF Elkton (;
and that Mr.. Miller declares he never
authoised Mr.. Mitchell or any other
person to use his name in suchway."
Thus ends the tale, the scandalous
tale, invented to prove that only one
federaIist If all Maryland, had departed
from his political faith and kindred -
How much will the democratic leaders
have to answer TO truth, decency and
conscience, for the many fabrications
with which they have attempted toprop
themselves.

We need not waste the time of the
intelligent reader, and orr own, by any,
particulisr refutation of the innumera-
bic faisehoods and flreDaracanons which
are uttered by French spies or French
apologis,s on the subject OF the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES /; which Heaven
knows we should be happy TO learn
had not only been revoked but burnt by
the common execu,ioner In Paris.
Sfkb5on facts daily furnish the refMa-
ton to our hands and the black list
of captures and burnings which is sub
ioinel, contains only a small part of
those facts. When it is considered
that none but French skulkers adven-
turc to sea, and that those who do have
no port out of the French empire, Eek
cepling the United States and .Algiers
in which they can find an.asylum it is
matter Of surprize that SO many Ameri-
can vessels arc captured and spoiled by
them And the fact furnishes evil
drnce that.it is not owing to any per-
| mantnt relaxation Of tie DEGREES, that
more are not taken; but to their inca
pacity to sieze upon them--sve chal-
lenge the Elnperour's American apoI-
ogists 70 adduce solitary authentica-
! ted fact Of an American vessel, which
has violated the Berlin decree, and has
been fallen IN with by French CRUZ
ser; and been permided TO proceed

From the Federal REPUsLIcAN.

The anti-commercial system, which ha;
been tried and reproduced in various shape',
ever since the close of 1897, mirht with
more propricty be called an an-agricnlura
system. Its effects upon The income of the
husbandman arc as palpable in tie southern
states as they are upon the merchants and ths
mechanics of the seaports In truth, the Ius''
ness of merchant is nothing more than as
factor for the husbandman and manufacture
Of the latter class Of citizens, the numbers
too few for the employment they give to con-
merce to be of any great consideration. But
it may be Justly observed, that when the nlcr'
chant is compelled to shnt up his counting
house, in order to live upon his former pro-
fits or to embrace poverty as his unavoidable
lot, the farmer and planter must be in losing
way. Whatever effects the former, for any
space of time, reflects the good or the evil
with which it comes attended, upon the latter
as certainly as thereare an uncomfortable unicn
and connection between their respective Cali
ings. The practical operation of this symPa'
thy between them is not left for speculation
alone to demonstrate. 1t is as strikingly PEI:
ceptible in the fields of the husbandmen, par
ticulariy those south of Pennsylvania, as 1t j
in the warehouses of the merchants from
Maine to Georgia. All are impoverished 10
