NEW-ORLEANS, OCtODer 10.
Frederick, king of Prussia, said {" an Off
Ger was never in command unless he was at
his post."-Lord Nelson's favorite expression
to his officers, and men, when going into &C
ton, was, {" His Majesty expects every man
to do his duty" Those great military cha
racters exacted duty more severely than our
mild republicans, at least those in the civil de-
partment. The following statement will
show how the civil officers of this city are
disposed of at present
Governor Claiborne has been absent with
or without leave, since early in Aug. last, has
visited the neighaoring Territory and friends
at Natchez, and is now reported to be some
leagues up the coast at friends house.
P. B. Robertson. Esq Secretary, sailed
from this early in the summer, and is still abb
sent.
P. Grimes, Esq. Attorney General Of this
Territory, has been absent since June, on a
visit, it is said, to his friends in Virginia.
The Hon. d. A. Hall, U. States District
Judge, absent all summer.
The Hon. James Mather, Mayor, absent
said to be at Baton Rouge, West-Florida.
Mr.. Duplisses, Marshal of this district.
absent in West Florida, since August.
Mr.. Cenas, Sheriff Of Orleans city and coun-
ty, absent all summer, in West Florida.-in
bad health.
mir. Williams, Collector of this port, alb
sent at Natchez.
Mr.. Lowell, Surveyor of this port, absent
since February last, said to be in S. Carolina.
Some of the snarAing politicians of the day
say the people Of Louisiana are not capable of
governing themselves think the foregoing
statement is strong testimony against such as

support, because they contain state ments pal
pably false, and which exonerate France from
the well supported and notorious charge OF
continuing to violate our neutral commerce,
and applaud the partial and equivocating mes
sage of the president.
Whoever may have suggested the mannu-
-vre of bringing in these resolutions, we do
not think Mr.. Gallatin drew them up; for de-
fcient as he is in mastership of the language
of the country, he would have impaired to
them more energy of thought and style.

BY THE SENATE OF MARYLAND,

November l9, 1911.
Whereas it is highly important, at this e.
yentful crisis in our foreign relations, that the
opinions and feelings of every section of the
union, should be fairly and fully expressed -
Therefore, We the Legislature of Maryland,
do resolve, That, in the opinion of this Legis-
lature, the measures of the administration
with respect to Great Britain, have been no.
norable, impartial and Just that, in their ne
gociations, they have evinced every DISPOSE
ton TO terminate our differences, on terms
not incompatible with our national honor ;
and that they deserve the confidence and sup
port ofthe nation.
Resolved, That the measures OF Great-Brl-
tain have been, and still are destructive of our
best and dearest rights; and being inconsist-
ent with Justice, with reason, and with law,
can be supported only by force: There
fore, if persisted in, by force should be resist
ed.
Resolved, That the measures of the admi-
nistration with respect to France, we highly
approve. They have been fully authorised
by the law and the fact.
Resolved, That the acts Of injustice and
violence, committed on our neutral rights by
France, have excited al that indignation which
lawiess exercise of power could not fail to
do but having ROW ceased to violate our neu-
trail rights we trust that the period is not far
distant, when by acts of ample justice, all
cause of complaint will be removed.
Resolved, That the Presidents message,
moderate, impartial and'deciSive, deserves all
orr tlraise 1t points out the best course to an
honorable independence.
Resolved, That the independence establish
ed by the aid and valor OF our fathers, will not
tamely be yielded by their sons. The same
spirit which led the Maryland Regulars to
battle, still exists in the state, and waits only
for its country's call.

Remarks on the above from the Baltim ore
Federal Republican.


Federal Republican.
MORE RRS0L UTION WAR.
Ii has been remarked, that an important cri-
sis arrives in our affairs regularly every six
months, or oftener, provided it suits the max
ers of them; but they always pass away with
out leaving any trace behind, except wha. is
impressed voluntarily upon our interests bv
the hand of folly. Great pains is taken to
brew up another such cpisis, which cannot but
terminate like all others. In this goodly work
the Ex-Governor Lloyd is lending his aid, as
will be seen by the Resolutions, which have
been moved in the Senate of our State. We
hope, that if they pass, they will at least by
their explosion frighten the British minister,
if they should even fail to demolish the orders
in council.
Let as be clearly understood-wh we des-
Mise and ridicue is that mockerv with which
the serious state of our public affairs is from
time to time converted by demagogues, to &C
complish their pansitory purposes through
oblioue devices. Whenever they In earnest
prepare the means, and begin to avenge the
wrongs their country has sustained, we shall
be the foremost to commend them for that
sincerity which they have never yet displayed,

1.-THE federalists are at their posts, when
these resolutions reach the House ofDelegates,
they ought not, and we hope they may not
pass, on account of the puerility and misre-
presentation with which they are Marked
In lieu of them, we presume no objection
would be felt to voting resolutions, calling
upon the general government to adopt mea-
sures of yigor and to Withdraw the dishonora-
bic and ruinous system, which has degraded
the national character, and Frustrated our
prosperity. Hwar is wished with Great Bri-
tain By the democratic party, We do not think

but let the proposition come distinctly from
those who think it necessary. They will be
supported in war as far as duty requires,
should they be found to possess courage e.
oouph TO commence it; Eut they cannot ex
meet fsderalists to vote with them upon such
.captious and indeterminate propositions as
Mr. Lioyd's. They appear to have been drawn
with special view to prevent the concur
renee of the Federalists, without whose APP
nrobation they would stand for nothing, be-
cause though the last elections did not esentu-
ate IN the return of majority, thsy clearly
proyed that the majority of the state IS fede-
ri. Let therefore plain proposition be bro't
fn.svarj NV the democratic party, unembar-
ra,sed with assertions, which it IS known the
s-t4e,at SIS cannot admit, and fair trial OF the
v,,icc Of MARYLAND will be given. AS they
