A powerful army he has at this spot,
Under discipline strict, and for BATHS
quite hot.
He can, and he syiN, without further

Won't we join me, Constituents, aud

Whatever may be the fate of the
Bonds given by the importers of Bri-
lsl goods; its evident that the more
Intelligent and conscientious part of the
house of Congress, are decidedly in fa-
vor of their remission. The course
which has been pursued in this discus
sion. by Messrs. Cheyes, Lowndes and
Calhoun, is equally honorable to their
abili,ie. and to their principles. They
have shewn, that they are not afraid to
desert their party, when that party shall
abandrn the great leading principles OF
policy and Of jnstice. Such an evidence
of principle and independence, m.y anu
no doubt qriR offend the more violent,
and least honorable members Of the par
ty amongst whom they lave enrolled
their names, but there can be no CUES
ton, thar it will eXslt them in the esti
NATION of the wiser and better part O:
the community, who are ever rea.iy to
acknowledge merit under whatever
name or in whatever shape it may ap.

On Saturday Mr.. James Barbour was
re elected Governor, and Alr. Samuel

any opposition.
Col. Robert Tayier, of Norfolk, was
elected Brigadicr General By consi-
dcrablc majority, to supply the vacancy
sccasioned by the death Of Brig. Gen'l.

Yesterday the House spent oonsi.
aerabIe time IN debating a resolution of
COMMITTEES founded on the application
of Mr.. John Taylor, rstsrnrd as a dele
gate from the county Of Lunenburg.-
idr. T. asked to be dispensed from tax.
ing the dnsSlins ss:h, previous to hi.
taking his seat. The report Of the
committee WAS unf.vorabls. A motion
was made in the house to amend this re-
port, SO as to dispense with tbs osth.-
This amendment was urged on tho
ground, that TO impose tho duclling
oath upon the members OF ,as !egisla.
turs was to create disqualification not
recognised by the constitution Of the
state. and that IT was therefore contrary
10 the constitution. After long and
animated discussion in whichthe anemd
nent was supported by Messrs. Nobert-
son, Archer and Lsixh, and opposed by
Messrs. holland, Blackburn, Barbour,
Currie, Thompson and Mercer, the
question was pat and the amendment
lost, Ayes 10, Noes l47. The report
of the COMMITTEES was :hen agreed to.

This isa proud day for tie fede-

low citizen Decatur has hsd the good

his friends desirsd-an opportunity
to Go his duty, and to reflect add
tional lustre upon our little federal
navy. We have here another speei-
mon Of tae manner 10 which fedora
ralists would carry on war had they
undertaken it. What contrast to
the vaporing gssconade of cur de-
pqocraiic HulIs and Smyths, and to
the sorry details Of desertion, cow
ardice, mating, and hog chasing
sivea by Hopkins, Topper. and the
rest of Mr.. Madison's warriours
Let us turn from the disgusting
scene, and contemplate, with the no.
nest pride which must swell every
truly American heart, that little,
neglected, aespised, and prosecuted
remnan, Of federal policy, the navy.
It's Row evident to the most careless
or prejudiced observer, that to the

us from becoming a reproach and a
