ouu " war declared ny their klng, bV
withholding the supplies necessary for
carrying it on. This they have done in
many instances nor is it usual for a
king Of England to venture upon the
important step of declaring war, until he
finds that large and substantial major
ity are in favor Of it. Upon this prin.
ciple, as it would seem, the Prince Re.
gent delayed the issuing of his war ma.
niiesto against America, till some consi-
derable time after the meeting of the
parliament, that he might sound the sen.
timents and feelings Of the nation on the
subject.
That great statesman and orator, Lord
Chatham, being. decidedly against the
American war, with US called the war
ofthe revolution, did slrenaously oppose
the granting OF supplies for carrying it
on. In l777, grant of money was ask.
ed OF the parliament, by the British mi
mister for the further prosecution of the
war with America, which had begun q.
bout two years before. On that subject
Lord Chatham said" The time de-
fnands the language oftrulh. We must
not now apply the flattering JUNCTION of
scrvile compliance, or blind complai-
sance. In a Just and necessary war, to
maintain the rights and honor of nv
country, would strip the shirt from my
back to support it: but in such war as
this is, unjust in its principle, impracli-
cable in it's means and ruinous in its con.
sequences, would not contribute sim
gle effort nor single shilling
This noble independence OF Chatham
was highly applauded in America and
SO far was he from falling into contempt
or under reproach at home, on this &C.
count, that the parliament, at last. fol-
lowed his counsel and example, and the
king was compelled, much against his
own inclination, to desist from prosecut.
ing the war
Yet doctrine has been preached,
purporting that declaration of war
with us binds the whole nation, as it were,
band and foot and that even the peo-
Piles representatives in Congress are un-
der political obligations to furnish sup.
plies for the war, so long as the execu-
tive shall please to carry it on, how
much soeyer they may disapproye it
themselves.
But this slavish doctrine cannot pre-
vail. No, it is impossible unless the
U. States be ripe for slavery. Indeed
while the money lasts. which Congress
has author'sea to be got on loan, it will
be in the power of ths executive to CT
feet the continuance of the war, previd-
ed that sum be actually borrowed But
i, will be in the power of the next
House Of Representatives to withhold all
further appropriations /; end it will be
even their bounden duty so to do, if in
then dgments, the continuance OF the
war will be destructive rather than bene-
fetal to the Interests of the country -
In a great measure il will depend on The
next congress, either to save OF .iak the

'ETERNIT'Y.

Notwithstanding incemprehensi.
Bile thought! The more we strive to
grasp the mighty object, the more il re-
pels our efforts. Can man, frail man, ar
rest the orbs OF heaves in their mighty
course J! Can he number the sands a.
refund the shores Of ocean! Vain at.
tempt! but even so, is the effort to FL.
tbom eternity. The mind of God him
self, alone, can comprehend the mighty
idea. We find ourselves placed (if
may be allowed the expressien) in the
centre of the great ocean of eternity
This present point of time has an etcr.
nifty past, and to come, of equal duration.
On either side the verge Is boundless,
andfar beyondthe utmost ken of mortals.
Let Us then leave the awful subject 10 that
being, with whom a thousand years are
bat as a day, and with whom an Eternity
past, and 20 come, are as time present
with ourselves.
But know, o man! that thy soul i.
commensurate with eternity This frail
tenement of clay, is the being Of an hour;
but that something, which guides, d..
reefs and animates the wholc--by which
we think, reason and compare, is the
child ofimmortality. SO let Us num-
der our Jays, that we may, apply our
hearts unto wisdom" So let us live, as
We should desire to exist through tbs
great hour of death, and through
boundless eternity.
Mortal, thou art even now on the
verge of that vast ocean, on which thou
must shortly launch. Art thou prepared
for the great voyage? Worlds unknown,
from whence no vistant can return, are
before thee. The dark strait of death
thou must surely pass Beyond, and on
the one side, is despair, whose thousand
whirlpools and boiling eddies have DASH
ed the barks Of millions on the rocks of
misery on the other is the gentle sea
of peace. The mild zephyrs of spring,
breathing on sll the fragrance Of Arabia,
fill the siiken RAYS of the righteous, and
watt their barks to the harbor of felicity
thou hast thy choice in this life: thou
hast ample time to prepare for the
eoyagc-Pause, reflect, and oh {! be per-
suaded,
"To put good works on board, AID
(, wait the wind,
:" Which watts US shortly into worlds
unknown" YORlCK.
