A gentleman arrived IN town yester.

INJECTING assistance from the Governor.
We understand he confirms the report
/ the burning number OF vessels at
Wareham, on Monday, and that the
FACTORY was sc, on FIRE, which was ex.
,lnpuisbed, after doing considerable dam

ais FORM AND PRESSURE"

The attention of The people has been
often called to the shameful neglect of
the general government, in not proyid-
ing them with the means Of self defence,
In no instance has this gross neglect
bees more apparent or more unpardona-
ale' than in the lsso eper&pns of the
enemy in our own neig borhood. A few
British barges have been permit,ed to
destroy the property Of indi, iduals, With
in FIVE and twenty miles of the seat of
e vefnment, to av st amount; to lay the
coantry under core button, s: to spread
error and desnlatlon wherever they app
peared. and all because the militia had
neither arms nor ammunition to defend
themselves. Itmay be said. that he go.
vernment could not have anticipated the
asages OF the enemy in that particular
ection of the state OF Maryland, in which
hey have been committed. They could
oct have supposed that Barney would
ave been SO stupid or so wicked, (for
j, must have been either stupidity or
iokednes'll as to have exposed his own
aie'y and the lives and property of hi,
irllow-c,li,izens as he has done. This
NAV be !; but it is no paliatinn of the
cria'e ot the general government. The
people of Maryland have paid their quo
L. # the taxes imposed by Congress.
Or the purpose of putting the country
into an attitude Of defence. 1t was the
duty oft'e goxernment, instead of vast.
ing this money in quixolic expeditions

% The defence of Maryland, Besides. it
5 no, the banks of the Pa uxents only,
witch are exposed to the ravages Of the
enemy. The whole country is in the
same neglected and dSfenceless state.
What will the people of Maryland say
when they are told lha, only two or
three days ago, at the very time when
their property was in flames, four or five
hundred regular troops we're marched
out Of Washington Cor Canada ? What
will the people of this District who have
been dragged from their families and
their business, say; when they find f;
that they have been substituted in the
place Of these regulars, to protect Jo-
saua Barney and his worthless Gun.

ALEXANDER G. HANsoN.-A.
mnre the able speeches, which ]
propose to publish, in the appendix
to this work. every reader oftaste
will be compelled to admire that Of
Mr.. Hansen a gentleman ofIearn-
ing. talents. e]squence and courage.
Perhaps no man now living in the T.
nitpd States has. more than this
gentleman, merited the applause,
the confidence, the gratitude Of his
eountrymen and upon no one have
lhcy been bestowed more cordially.
or more extensively. Indeed il has
been the fortune of Mr.. Hanson TO
attract far greater notice, and TO
excite deeper interest, than any o.
Their man Of the same age, in this
enantry. He is not new more than
twen.y-sevcn years Of age and yet
he has for several years filed as
large space in the public eye. -
almost any other man in this coun-
try. and even among the able states
men and orators, ROW in congress.
he occupies a station, distinguished
and exalted. Ii is not naVeseryca.
1t is the consequence OF that rare
union OF boldness. originality. and
strength Of mind which mark all lis
speeches. and particularly that up
on the loan bill. To these powers
of Intellect are united, extensive po-
li,ical knowledge. vigour OF concep.
ton. and force Of expression ; but
above all, a firmness, which no
Il ouhIes, and a courage, whici, no
dangers can disturb; whether he is
assailed by assassins at Baltimore {;
OF their supporters at Washington,
we find him equally intrepid. For
the latter, the glance Of his eye is
enough. With the help Of bis brave
and powerful friend Mr.. GRosvE.
NOR, he has banished from the hall
of the house Representatives, that
coarse, cowartlly, bullying, by which
it was formerly intended to over
whelm the freedom Of debate. De-
sirous of peace, he is known TO be
prepared for war; and in congress,
the style Of debate has, in conse-
quenee, become all of a sudden, de-
cent and decorous While HANSON,
GRosyENoR and PEARSON continue
there, decency and decorum will
continue also.
We find, in some men, an early
maturity, q preeocity of genius.
which seems to excite expectation.
merely to disappoint it. Mr.. Han.
son has risen rapidly indeed, but re-
gularly ard progressively lnevery
new situation, in which he has been
placed he has displayed energies OF
character, unknown before. He has
been found not merely equal to all,
but great, in every one. 1t requires
no prophetic spirit to assure us. that
he is destined TO perform important
services to his country, il his life,
which has been once most miracu
lously preserved, shall DO prolonged
to the usual age Of man.

the defeat of the enemy, and his retreat

lofs Of two Of his guns, ard an immenfe
number of killed and wounded, and few
