FELLOW Citizens,
dedicate to you the following fragment
That 1t appears in its present mutilated
shape is to be ascrlbed to the successful u
surpaton which mas reduced the freedom
of speech in one Branch OF the American
Congress to an empty name. 1t is now es-
tablshed TOR Tie first timc, and in tie her
| son u your REPRESENTATIVE, that the House
may, and will refuse to hear member in
his place, oreVen 20 receive motion from
hln upon the most momentous subject that
can be presented for legislative decision
A similar motion was brought forward by
the republican minority in the year 1898
before these modern inventions for sitting
freedom OF debate had been discovered Ii
was discussed as matter of right until it
was abandoned by the mover III consequence
OF additional information 1.-THE correspon-
dence of our ENJOYS at Pans1 laid before
| Congress by the President. In I" the reign
of terror" the fathers of the Sedition Law
had not the hardihood to prescribe liberty of
| speech, much less the right of free debate
OIL the floor of Congress. This invasion of
the public liberties was reserved for self
| styled republicans, who hold your under
standings in SUCH contempt as to hatter
! themselves that you will overlook their eve
| ~ outrage upon the great first principles of
tree government, in consideration of their
professions of tender regard for the priv
leges of the people 1t is for yor to decide
| whether they have undervaIued your intel
| liSence and spirit, whether they have
/ formed just estimate of your Character.
You do not require to be told that The vio-
llati1n Of the rights of him whom you have
| deputed TO represent you is an invasion of
| the rights OF every MAJ amongy you, of every
| individual in society.-If this abuse be suf-
tered 20 pass unredressed-and the people
alone are competent to apply the remedy
we must bid adieu to a free form of govern
| ment, forever.
Having learned from various sources, that
a declaration Of war would be attempted on
| Monday next, zpiM cLoSed doors, deemed
! IT my dnty to ehdeavor, by any exercise If
| my constitutional functions, to arrest this
| heaviest of all possible calamitics, and avert
1t from our happy country. l accordingly
made The effort Of whicA / now give you the
result, and Of the success of which you will
already have been Informed before these pa
ges can reach YOU ] pretend only 20 give YOU
tie substance Otmy unfinished argument, -
| The glowing wOrds--the language of the
heart ---nave passed away with tie occa-
| sion that called them forth.-They are NO
longer under my controul.-My design i.
simply to submit you the views which haze
induced me to consider war with England
under existing circumstances, as COMFORTING
neither with the INTEREST nor the HONOR

TO THE FRIENDS OF BEES.

The commencement of the 10Th century
has brought with it new enemy to the no.
ney bee; whitish worms, or caterpillars, en-
ter the hives of the apiary. and appear to
be more destructive to the cleanly little
bees, than ants or mice. NICHOLAS BR1N-
KERHoFF, late of Hackensack, to- whom
discovered these web spinning worms i'm his
bee-hives. has successfully pursued the fol-
lowing practice, these five years past, and
saved all his swarms, as he lately informed
me: He cut, split, and cxcavated elder
stalks, and introduced them into his hee-
hives, with the cavity downwards to form a
reclusc from the bees. He then made it his
daily practice, from spring to autumn, to
extract the elders, kill the worms, and re-
place the stalks. AS have heard of no o.
Their remedy to remove the foes to one of
our greatest delicacies, | was willing to trou-
bic myself with the communication.

tanned considerable part Of tue action
and suffered much The Colonies marched al
the instant, but with a certain step peculiar
TO himself, slow, firm and steady. The
whole parish was in his regiment, and they
had brought with them their much loved
parson, without whose blessing they could
scarcely think themselves in a way to pros
per. The officer commanding the corps to
be relieved, fearing at every instant, that
his men from fatigue and loss would give
way, sent to hasten the Colonel" Tell
'em," says he, "that we are coming" and
kept his pace steadily on. This gentleman
was at home deacon-wore an old-fashion-
ed long-waisted coat, with large pocket
flaps, and herring boned cuffs, and three
cock'd hat, the forepart something resemb-
ling the handle of a pipkin, except that the
extreme part of it might have endangered
the eye OF a musqueto, had he run unguard.

Colonel for Gods sake hurry, my men |
are beginning to fall back, "-"that will |
make room 70. us-tell 'em we're coming"
keeping his still unaltered pace and phiz !
quite placid and unconcerned. A third |
was treated just as coolly; when
they emerged from coppice in full view OF
the enemy, and several balls passed over

lain was called and ordered with all due for
mahty to attend to his duty, but during the
solemnity, an unlucky shot wouaded one of
the men. The COLONEL now, for the first
time, began To show some Impotence, for
no sooner had the parson pronounced linen,
than the men were ordered to march,.
But still the colonel kept his steady mea-
sured peace, until he had taken the ground,
in front of the poor fellows who were al
most ready to leave the field, and but for
the love of liberty, could not have kept it |
half SO long. "Give it to 'em," said the
colonel, "give it to 'em, boys" as he stepped |
along the rank, with the same unaltered |
pace and phiz, chewing hi, quid which he |
now and then replaced, obliging those who
stood next him with his box. The Hes
slams are in 'front.'" said he our wives and |
children in the rear. Libcrty's the prize

The enemy pressed, but pressed only Oh
their own destruction. We fought, we bled,
we conquered; and the narrator said that
the cool, determined bravery of these few
raw militia, had a principal share in deci-
ding the fate of the day.
