Eatract from The Boston Patriot.
1.-THE system of neutrality has been the
fundfaental principle and invariable system
in thAconduct OF the United States towards
foreign nations, through the four administra-
tloi.;i OF the national government. 1t is said
that President Washington began it; but
there Is nothing less understood than the re-
al views OF that great and good man. The
truth is, he was smitten with the charms of
the French revolution, and offended and dis
gustcd with the English for violating the
t&atAof peace by Withholding the posts ON
TN frontiers, &c. &c &c. that he was strong
iy ylncllned to enter into closer connections
with France, and a treaty offensive and de-
fensive against Great Britain. know the
time and place in which, and the reasons BY
which, he was first shaken, when Congress
sat at New York in 1889, in his first thoughts
and inclinations, and brought seriously to de-
liberate on that system Of neutrality, which
he afterwards adopted, but not till four years
meditation on the subject. In 1894, he first
decisSed by Proclamation his adoption of the
sysVpf of neutrality, lie could not restrain
himAf4 some years afterwards, from express
sing ton French minister his ardent admira-
ton OF the exertions of the French nation, in
favor of Liberty.
I" Twill say nothing at present of that adj
tune to be reprobated by the nation. But
Gcd knows that alliances offensive or lefen-
sive, with either France or England, were ne
yer an object of desire to the head of that
administration, z7iafeUer h n,ighs have been
to some Of his ministers, 10 some Of the Sena-
tors, and some Of the REPRESENTATIVES to Con-
gresS in his name.
"Mr. Jefferson's administration of years
was governed, as far as / can understand it,
by the same system.
"Mr. Madison has presented the same
how long the national government will be a
bic to maintain an impartial neutrality,
know not. 1t has cost us great sacrifices.
But the question is, whether war with either
OF the belligerent powers, would not have cost
us more

The valuable Legacy Of the Father
of his Country,
Just received, for sale by JAMES KENNEDY,
senior, Bookseller, King street,
Washangton's Valed1ctO,y Addfsts.
A beautiful Miniature Edition, embellisb-
ed with fine Likeness of that truly great
Man, and orAamented with handsome Wig
nette Title-Price IS Cents half bound In
Morocco.
This admirable compendium of consum-
mate political wisdom, from their best friend,
conveyed in a style truly parental, should
render it an inestima5lc treasure to every true
American; as it must, if acted upon, have
been an infallible guide to national honor and
prosperity.
The sons of Greece we're animated to he
roic actions by the impassloned addresses OF
their orators and poets. The sons OF Colum-
l:a are more powerfully excited by the glo-
rious example, as we'll as by voice from
the tomb of the immortal Washington, to
the exercise of the duties of the christian and
the citizen
1t is much to be lamentcd that this pre-
cious relioue has not become the Arector
aud guide of every American citizen, and
that it has become so scarce. To supply this
defect, and to introduce it into general no.
tice at this important crisis, the present edi-
ton is now offered to the public. The adj
mirers of the departed hero and patriot, have
now an opportunity of procuring copies and
of making presents to their friends. And 1t
is presumed that parents and teachers can
not make more valuable present to their
children and pupils, than this last bequest OF
their common political parent.

S.:..ii1ne Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly OF
the extractiye matter and resinous portion VI
the Dark, wherein its virtue as ncaicine is
known TO reside, is separated Al degree
from the hard h5rous an4 other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t wis., therefore, DC
found preferable, on account OF Its purify
strength, iincness, and the small quantity
reorired to any other form in which the
bark has hitherto been generally USED.
The superiority Of this bark will he Parti-
cu,ar,v manifest in Tie treatment ct those
,,ises,es IN which, on account OF an irritable
state q the stomach and ho.els, the rcqul>
site quantity Of the impertect'y ground bark
in common use c..naot be administered ; and
IS any of the watery or sprtoous prepara-
non, are we'll known to be Intellectual in ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the present
ora will prove generally acceptable
The proprietor thinks it unnecessary to
offer any apology to those OF his medical bre
,hrcn 10 whom he is personally known, wheE
ne recommends to them in particular this
elegant powder ofbark since many OF tHen
have, in common with him, had so frequent
and painful occasion, in the course OF long

a form of using that inestimabie remedy; and
