Sir---Your love vi candid argument, and a con-
vieton that Error must cease to be dangerous
when reason is left free to combat ,"-Nw WILL 1t is
hoped, induce you To give place ia your paper 10
the following observations.
Il be ackIov lodged that the argument Of the
Gentleman from Dinwidde, upon the Right Of in
struction, is elaborate, thou ia not logical Permit
me IN tie candid spirit Of enquirer for truth, to
point to faiiaey III his argument. lie assumes as
premises, " That where be had to no-tri-
busal superior to the authority OF the parties, the
patties themselves must be the riehttui judges in
abe hast resort whether the bargain made has been
pursicd or yioatcd" The conclusion drawn from
these premises 10. that the State Legislatures have
. rigtk TO instruct their Senator'S. The premises
admitted, but the conclusions denied. Who are
che parties to the Federal constitution The state
Governments on the one part, and th- Fedora Go
vcrnment on the other. Consequently the State
Governments and the Federal Government, accor-
ding to the premises, there being superior tribu-
nal, must judge each for itself. but the Senate is
part OF the Federal Government consequently con-
tractng party; it must, therefore, Judge for Itself.
Or the Senators are contracting party, and must,
therefore,, rshttnily jndge for themselves. This
is the conclusion which regularly flows from the
premises. To the conclusion which had been drawn.
1t might well be said non seqaitny.
But let us see what apsurt,ity would follow the
suppostoD, that the instruction of the Legislature
Is obligatory upon the Senator'S. Then there would
be upon one pant OF the contract, the State Legsa-
lures aud the Senate OF the United States and
who on the other J had said the Federal Govern.
Hcnts. But the Senate is part of the Federal Co.
yerrments and without the Senate, there is no Fe-
Ieral Government. Consequently there would be
no other party to the eontiact-So that there ould
be a contract with but one contracting party which
would be a phenomenon not only in law, but also
in politics. ~

What then has become Of the last pTetehosu
rehcal Of those edicts. This letter, be 1t CO.

merchants themselves believe the anhaa'f"
decree, to be mere Juggling, or had they learn

tended to enforce the Berlin s Milan DEGREES

purpose, and his majesty much surprzedthat
no one should ask, supposed they meant 70
come incog; upon which, he resolved to watch
narrowly every mask of whom he had the
smallest suspicion. On entering. the Mosque
rade he looked round, and soon perceived a
mask, whom he knew by his height 10 be one
of his guards The king, therefore, sent Sc
veral of his attendants II lind out the mask,
but all to no. purpose.-He was, however, re-
solved to know who he was. and wsnt himself
masked, and asked him - Are you not Lieu
tenant c. Pc Yes, am but am here
without the kings leave, and he is a scoundrel
thar tells qyhere T am" This is common
expression in the Prussian army, and means,
keep the secret or forfeit your honor. Inc
KING was thus bound to silence, but determine
ed TO punish the officer for being at the mas
uuerade without leave; upon which he spoke
to an officer ofthe rife corps, whichthe mask
observing, left the saloon, mounted bis horse,
and gslloped back TO Pottsdam, undressed,
hid hi. domino. and went to bed He had not
beenl long there, when the commanding officer
arrived, came to his bed side, and found him
apparently fast asleep. The king, the next
morning on the parade, sure OF success, alter
having given the parole, asked IN peFemPto-
nv tone of voice, if the Colonel had executed
his order, and what officer he had to report alb
sent last night. The Colonel answered,
E" None, that he had found them all in bed"
When the king saw his scheme had miscar
ried, he walked up and down, and stopped be-
fore the officer in question, and " whispered in
his ear, said 81 make you captain, but
you are a hundJoot(a scosndreL if you tell it
to any body" AS soon as the king was gone,
they all came round the officer. and asked
wbatthe king bad said to him, but he would
not tell and replied, nothing, nothing
After twelyemonth was passed, and not a
word had transpired, finding the Officer keeps
the secret, the king sent him commission

LOSS OF THE PEKIN

l-OoS VI i fIE PEKIN,
Account OF the loss OF ship pehin. c,,.E
Murdoch, of Philadelphia, homeward hp't1
from Canton, as related to ca plain RohnL1
by captain Seaton.
On the 28ti or 29th February, tbo h..
Pekin, beating through the straits Of Snpd;pp
company with the British sloop ofwar Pro,i,
wind from the west and light, with 49,
swell and current setting e. On slri,i,s
weather the cape, brought up Oh the ,Gst.
and soon filed, 1t was near merediar ,b"''
the accident happened. The frocrs sesra
their situation, Immediately assisted in SAW,
what was possible troa, her as she iay. T,e.l
captain, supercargo and crew left the ship,
and were taken on board the sloop of war.
Two or three days after the accident, the
British frigates Cornelia, ard Bucrphalus
came in the straits, and finding the Pekip =.
bandoned, the Cornelia frigate made an effort
to get her off the rocks, which after much
difficulty they effected, and towed her round
to Batavia, in company with the other lrigate
and sloop Of war-he4 deck a-wast
They hauled her ashore at the island Of On.
rust and took oit all the cargo they could pct
at The ship was then sold rs she lay lex.
elusive Of what cargo remained in her) for
$500 dollars, and the cargo that remained in
her (chieAy china) for 500 dollars The sal.
wage was settled by arbitration, two thirds 70
the ship and one 10 the British navy
The agents of the ships Mr.. Timberman
a very respectable Dutch merchant and Dr..
Sampson, an American gentleman resident at
Batavia. The cargo was selling very we'll
considering its situation. Captain Mugdock
and Dir. Bryent one Of the supercargoes, re-.
mained at Batavia with the property. Mr.
Guier, the other supercargo, had taken pas.
sage for England in the British ship CT uden,
now about sailing from Soda Bay to toucn at
the Cape, where Mr.. c. hopes to Ghd a pas
sage home.
The crew Of the Pekin are, by their own
wish5 ON board the British frigate Cocnela, to
be put on board the first American vesselt6ey
TALL In with, or to be discharged if they choose
Oh the return OF the figate from their present
cruize.
An expedition under the command Of capt.
Owen of the frigate Cornelia, 1000 strong,
had sailed few days before the Louisa Fa-
ml.y to take possession of Pilinbara and the
island of Baakes.
The British intend destroying all the lortiG-
cations on the island OF Java, and intend sup
porting it in the open field, considering en-.
campment to be more healthy than barracks
The force on the island is 5000, chiefly Ben
gal troops.

THE MONITOR.
a Bg The three hundred men thai taflled 1uW I
xGDe you"


when Gideon gathered his forces to attack
the host of the Midanites his army Consisted
Of thirty tao thousand men. But lest israel
should vaunt himself Gideon was directed to
make proclamation for the fearful to return
home. f" And there returned twenty and two
thousand" But God being determined to
show his power, and his strength made perfect
in weakness, said, the people are sui too
many.'' ETe then proceeded to direct Gideon
to a farther trial BY bringing tie people down
10 the water; aud said he, /" Every on that lap
peth of the water with his tongue as dog lap
meth. him shalt thou set by himself, likewise
eyery one that boweth down on HIS knees TO
drink And TIE number of them that Tapped
putting their hands to their mouth were three
hundred men but all the rest of the people
bowed down upon their knees TO drink water
And the Lord said unto Gideon, "by the three
hundred men that Tapped will save you
The sequel of this story is too we'll known to
need particular repetition. Suffice 1t to say
that 6 the sword of the Lord and Gideon, pre-
vailed. The great host OF INDIAN was as
nothing when the arm of everlasting strength
was stretched out TO save his people. The
point of this story is peculiarly apphca-
bic at this day. 1t is time of distress, of
darkness and dreadful uncertainty. Amid the
warmth OF debate, and the hustle of warlike
preparation, we look anxiously round for those
who are to stand like pillars of strength, like
the bulwark of the nation. And who are they?
Not the prophane-not the haters and desPl-
sers of all that is good and amiable, for their
individual sins add to the weight of general
wickedness, and viii help to sink the country
beneath the wrath of offended heaven. But
we are taught to look for deliycrers among
the friends Of God, whom he receiyeth with
their offerings as be did Abel, and to whose
PRAYERS his ears are ever opeR
Notwithstanding the general corruption of
manners, and the time serving spirit of
many professed christians, it Is to be hoped
tha, there are few even in this degenerate age
Of an undoubted and invincible spirit, who like
Gideon's little band of heroes stand firm to
their integrity, s. amid crooked and perverse
generation, nobly dare to be singular Read
er. look around you. Are there any such
in the land Then we may yet be saved.
Ten such would once have saved Sodom.
Who then would not aspire to this high hon
or For these are most certainly to be the
henored instruments of rescuing our beloved
country from the jaws of the deistieal Anti
christ, and leading Us once more 10 happiness
and peace.-Portiand Gazette.
