CaILL1corHE, August Is.

BY the politeness Of Capt Brush, who is
iust arrived from the river Raisin, we have
Jbeen favored with the following important
intelligence, which we hasten to lay before
our readers:
DETROIT, 11th Aug. 1912.
SIR-The state Of the communication be-
tween this and the siver Raisin, is such that
a sufficient detachment cannot be sent at
present bring ON the provisions with safe
ty.-You will therefore, remain on the river
Raisn, and in conjunction with the regiment,
lie Croix's corps and your own, protect the
provisions and yourselves until further or
CIers.-The detachment sent for the purpose
Of opening the communication arc so iatigued
after a severe aud victorious battle that it
will return here.
am, respectfully,
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1812-09-03

Sentiment pervaded every Bosom, " the prsi
sent Contest tn preserve that independence
which our fathers bequeathed to rs, and
which it is orr duty to transmit in all its pu-
rity to our children. Unfortunately for us,
there yet remains too much division, too
much British partially, in our country So
LON, the great Athenian lawgiver, promui-
gated law, which declared every man
Infamous who in any sedition or civil dis
" sention in a state, should continue neuter,
"and refuse tn side with either party" "A
conhscation of property and punishment of
the delinquent, were the penalties OF neu-
trality. The reasons for this law are, that
no citizen should be so unfeeling with re-
spect to the public selfarc, as TO affect a
brutal insensbility, Md not sympathize with
the distress Of his country. This law ought
TO hold a place in the code of every free go
vernmcnt. It would be but proper and po-
Gtic, that those who refuse to lend that pro-
lection to the government which the public
safety requires, should receive the punish
ment due to an immediate enemy.
If it be correct, that state of personal
neutrality is inadmissible, nay, highly pu-
nishabc in cases of civil dissentions in a
State, what measure of punishment would
reach the extent OF crime OF one, who, whilst
he remains under the protection of the coun-
try, which gave him birth or adopted him,
he applauds and extos the conduct of that
government, with which his nation is at war;
But should such an one SO even beyond this,
and build the reputation OF an encmy's go
vernment upon the attempted destruction of
his own, what ought to be the conduct of his
fellow citizens towards hims A stSit Of home

yourself. But that there are such now bask-
ing under the mild equality of our laws, we
as sincerely believe, as we do that there is

W.. Peasants,

reside, that Mr.. john w. Eppes offers his
services at the ensuing election as a member
OF Congress, IN opposition to nlr. John Ran
dolph. blame not the correspondent for
entertaining a high opinion OF Mr.. Eppes,
but the Closing sentence of his communicate
ON convinces me, that the gentleman is Who'll
~ destitute Of the smallest trait of tlelicacy
ct feeling, or liberali,y of sentiment; and
that he has forgotten that he lives in re-
public where freemen are not to be brighten

possible for a man to feel the force of truth
who can thus insult the understanding and

low citizens, can inform him that am per-
sonaiiy acquainted with a great number of
these men who have voted for, and will vote
| for Mr.. Randolph again, and lie may be as
surcd, that many of them are men, who have
| fought and b!ed for the rights of their coun

| honest and respectable, diligent in all the
relative duties of society, prompt in obedi-
ence to the laws of their Country. men of ge-
nuine and rational republican principles, and
most cordially despise the despot who would
dare to dictate to them i'll the use Of their
rights as freemen. They are the friends to
free and honorable elections. Men who des
pise the low and pit ful method oftraffcking
for the votes Of the m st worthless of the

, men who, if Mr.. Eppes should upon fair and

tatire, and will be willing, even should they
stand in minority, to compare polls with
Mr.. EppeS, in point of patriotism, respecta-

who, believing John Randolph to be the ho-
nest and sincere friend of civil liberty, of his

! ably in defiance of all the sneers that Can he
