tem !; and if the present measures are
continued during your Presidency, those
halcyon days will be fairly brousbt!
round, for there will not be man, ex.
cept your satellites, worth shilling.
To return again to the point; Task what
was your calculation at the declaration
of war! for you knew wsll the genius
of the British government, and what it
was made Of you knew it was like
pine knot would break sooner than
bead by force. You were as capable as
any Han of studying causes and effects.
Your own judgment told you land if that
did not, the minority in Congress, and
every candid politician in the unieH, told
vou) that Britain's only point of attack
for us was Canada and that, Qike the
eagles on its mountains) was hard 20
take, and worth but little when taken /;
that, if to be conquered at all, which Is
(now) doubtful, it will cost as many huns
dred millions as will keep our nose at
the gripdstone to the third generation );
and after all we should net be an inch
higher our osteu,ible aim than we were
before that Britain would withdraw as
surly from the colony as Gen. Putnam
did from Bunker hill, saying you'Ve taid
4ueH for it; now take it. AND whenever
a peace is made they will visit Us at sea
for their deserters and for contraband OF
war, the same as ever, for all Canada is
going to do to the contrary The next
thing will then be to annex Canada to
the Union this will be federal State
James and not much to the taste OF
the ancient dominion, tr0w.
Now finally, my old friend, take
FOOLS advice, for you are playing an in'
iudicious game, Ito say nsthing of it in
moral sense, for which believe you will
have fearful account to settle you are
losing somewhere at every hand. Make
an Armistice, and then get as good a
peace as you can, that is honorable; be
tore any irretrivable calamities come up
on US. Yours,

PEACE AND GLORY.
BY MOOR Z

BY MOORE.
Where is now the smIie that llghten'd
Every hero's cuuch of rest
Where is nov the hspe that brlghten'a
Honor's eye and pty's breast!
Hive we lost The Wreath we braided
For our weary warrior men
Is the faihless Olive faded
Must the bay be pluck'd again
Passing hour of sunny weather,
Lovely, in your light awhile,
Peace and Glory, we'd together,
Wandered through the blessed isle :
And the eyes of Peace would glisten,
Dewy as the morning sun,
When the timid maid would listen
To the deeds her chief had done.
Is the hour Of dalliaDce over!
Must the naiden's trembling feet
Watt her from her warike lover,
To the deserts still retreat!
Fare you well ! with sighs we Danish
Nymph so fair and guest SO bright |;
Yet the smile with which you vanish,
Leaves behind a soothing light!
Soothing light that long shall sparkle
Der your warriors sangnIne way,
Through the field where horrors darkle'
Shedding hopes consoling ray
Long the smile his heart will cherish,
To its absebt idol true;
While around him myriads perish,
Glory still will sigh for you.

" Not doubt exists here of its
being the intention of the enemy to
make an attack on this place-but
whether they will commence by an
attempt to reduce Craney Island, or
endeavor to reach Norfolk by land

tingencIes have been provided for in
such manaer as will make them
pay dearl, for victory should they at
last gain it. Of this, however. l
have no apprehension, but rather
think that any attempt on our forts
would cover them with disaster 81

overwhelmed them with at SaDdus-

structed, and under The command of
