have been the real object, the studied

was duly apprised. And as was fore
seen members Of Congress, not com
pretending It's meaning, applied bur in
vain, for the requisite explanation.
At length, rei1K6hcan Senator, distin-
guished by his sound principles as a
statesman, as well as by his indepen-
dent feelings as a gentleman, did in a
very able speech make among other
toFicks, The following pithy. comment
upon this extraordinary message.

Fourth. The a,on-intercourse ka7u Of
the last session was also the device, of
Mr.. Madison. 1t too was introduced
by Presidential machinery.
Should this statute be viewed as Il
ouyhf 10 De, IN connection with, and as
emenating from the law of May, 1910,
then win We have to look for the fact'
required by that law, namely, the acfH-
al revocation of the Berlin aud Milan
DEGREES. 1t this revocation did In fact
take place as declared by the proclaim
auon, then the act of May, communica-
ted as it had been by the executive 10
the two belligerent powers, did become
thso Jacto compact between the Uni
ted States and France, and in that case
neither party had a right to disregard,
or by law to change, its stipulated terms
and conditions, as this government
confessedly did by the non.tntercour8e
qct otthe last session.
The act o. May, 1910, il is sorrow
ful truth, did not provide for several
obvious cases, wherein our merchants
must necessarily have been much iain-
red in The event Of that law having been
carried into effect in the Crude form il
which it had been passed Otthis i'm
providence our ciliztns might in such
case, well have. complained against
their Representatives Executive as
well as Legislative /; but, from ii our
Government most assuredly could not
have deduced right 10 alter OF itself
the conditions of the compact. The
other party might, indeed, from sen
limeni OF compassion for our artless
simplicity, have consented to such a
change ; but without sacn an acquaia
| tance, 1t could not, upon Gnv principles
Of neutral or political law, be doue.
II, however, the Emperor Of tue
French did nor ia fact, revoke, is DE-
clared by the Proclamation, the Berlin

fheara great deal Of jaw about fighting
and such like, among the swabs--N6w l
wish you'd tell me, Mr.. Printer, if we are
to have war with the British--l'ye
heard SO much about that there business
for some years past, that Pm in kind OF
auandary what to think-lt aynt as howe
I'm afeard Of 'em, but you see should be
sorry to thrash 'em unless they insulted
us--And [ think they've got trouble
enough upon their hands already. and it
seems to me it aynt fair to pick quarrel
with a Teller that's got more than his
match upon him--But if So be that the
British are such blasted fools rs to want a
war with us, why, let 'em come on, say l
they'll soon get tired OF it--A few
thumps from old Trnxton and Rodgers
will cool their copper, and they'll be glad
TO fall upon their marrow bones and cry
for quarteras they We done before.
AS was saying before, Mr.. Printer,
l don't like that Bonaparte--He's a chap,
take it. that veers with every gale, and
blows his blasts from all points of the
compass-one day he palavers as smooth
as southern breeze, and the next he blus-
ters like stiff north Wester-I say l
don't like them sort of fellers-Up and
down for me-He's got wind and tide in
his favor now, and scuds along with all sails

capsize him when he little thinks Of it,
and set him adriit upon his beam-ends-
He can't have fair weather always.

Plufarch tells us, that at the time that
ARrsTrDEs was banished by oStracis'n.
when the people were describing the names
on the shells, an illiterate burgher came
to ARIsTIDEs, whom he took for some or
binary person, and giving him his she'll,
desired BIN TO write ARIsTIDEs upon it..
"ARIsTIDEs," surprised at the adventure,
asked him :. whether iRIsriDEs had ever
injured him? no" says he '.nor do L
even know him; Gul IL rccGs me TO hear
him erery zchere cel!et the Just" How
many thousand curses this revolutionary
patriot, with no more reason than the
burgher. who did net even know ARIs-
TIDES, and the worst tisat he could say OF
him was, that he I,'as .iass! Few men.

Mr.. Winston attributes the universal

His opinion was $. that the earth passing
through the Atmosphere of the comet,

comet raised great tile in the subterra-

EYECU1ITE ENERGY.

Great must the talents be, and uncor-
ruptible the fame which passes through
this life in an elevated situation without
being blasted by the foul tongue of sean
dal. The names Of Jefferson and Madi-
SOC have long become objects of ridicule
and reproach, when spoken Of by the up
start politicians of the day. Want of en-
crgy and want Of nerve, have been thrown
in their teeth from every direction. The
story has got into the mouth of one, and
echoed by all the rest. This might have
passed current some time ago; but l pre-
sumo il will lose ground now.
BY late InteiIigencer, we find that
no less than thirty Gun Boats have been
ordered TO be put in commission, for the
defcace Of our ports and harbors. This
was the most appropriate time at which
such step could have been taken-at a
time when We expect admiral Yorke with
"a squadron Of 7l's marauding along our
coast, il is quite necessary 10 have coun-
terpoisc which will keep them in awe
and dare say, that when this feet of ours
gets outside of the Capes, they will soon
make the British dogs scamper back to
Halifax, with greater precipitation than
they left it. We may consider these ves-
sells of war as the permanent bulwarks of
our country, and as such they ought to be
kept up till the most imminent times Of
danger.
The British minister seeing us take so
resolutc step, will, no doubt, give notice
to his government Of our determination TO
act with spirit and energy; and they, in
undated by our conduct will at last listen
to Justice, and be willing to meet us half
way on the broad basis of impartial equity
and reason. Look at this, We snarling
philosophers, and no longer assert that our
president wants nerve-thirty Gun Boats
in commission why they are sufficient
to drive admiral Yorke's fleet to Old
Nick: storm Halifax, and sink every
British fi'igate which dares to approach
our coast.
This has been done towards strenthen-
ing our navy-and, doubt not. but dur
ing the next session of congress the pre-
silent will have placed at his disposal an
additional number, for the more complete
defence Of our country. America, happy
nation! with her gun boats sailing tri-
umphantly on the ocean, she stands secure
of the world.
