Some years ago, nothing could be more
criminal in the estimation of some folks,than
TO doubt Executive infsllibiity and in order
eifcc,ualy to silence every question on that
head, the memorable GAG law was brought
into existence, by and with the appreciation Of
the very men who lately framed and adopted
the clamorous memorial Of the Legislature
of MassAchusetts--a memorial Justly dcnouD-
ced by the minority of that State as /" trea-
sonabc in its origin, rcprehensible IN its lam
guagc, erroneous in its facts and principles,
and pernicious in its effects" Yet it was
nevertheless adopted by men who were quite

MEssRs. EDIToRs--I am witness to the
treatment x harbarous usage that was inilict-
ed on SAMUEL BARNS, Of WeH- H-Chestcr, in
the State of New4York, who was IMPRESS
SED in the year 1909. At the declaration
of war, he gave himself up as a prisoner Of
war; to maintain his country's rights on so
doing, they said they would try him by a
Court Martial, and although he was an Ame-
Iican subject, he was sentenced TO receive
THREE HUNDRED LASHES for giving
himself nh as a Prisoner Of suar. He was
then on board Of his b. NJ, ship Sc. Salvador,
and received his punishment at Plymouth, -
lie had been in several engagements in his
Is. Nj. service, and received musket ball in
his throat and another in his left rist, and one
in his thigh, and after all this he was dealt in
this barbarious manner-Ahis three years pay
was stopped, his prize money likewise stopp.
ed, and then coohned in the Black Hole, and
believe they wish him dead, so that the
States would not hear sny thing of his suffer
ings. 1t is our duty 10 mention this TO the
States in our Countryman's behalf, whom
they most barbariously abused:

he was called TO get his things rsadyto go on

FROM THE BOSTON cHRoSicLE

"By one Of those miracles (says the London
Statesman Of June l2) known only to the modern
history Of finance, at short interview with the min
listers Wednesday last, loan was contracted for
TO the amount of 27 millions sterling, constituting,
with the exchequer bills, an advance, for the pur-
poses of government. in the present year, of Fifty,
f,eo Millions sterling" +.s
~ Here We see that our enemy is obliged to
procure, by loan and exchequer bills, the e.
normous sum of hfty-two millions, equal to
abouttwo hundred and thirty millions dollars,
to enable her to prosecute the war in which
she is engaged, beyond her revenue.-Those
who evincc their patriotism by discouraging
subscriptions to American loans, would, if
we may Judge Of their zeal, lend their influ.
ence, if not their purses, to, fill up this. An
American loan of ten OF. twelve millions is to
these gentlemen terribly alarming, and their
sympathies for the people arc wrought up to
the highest pitch (; yet British loan of two
hundred aud thirty millions is considered per.
fcctIy proper.
