the conversation. If you ever had
any conversation with Mr.. Lewis,
it was not such as you have stated.

to raise men TO defend The towns "

passed this port on Friday evening
last, being the first square rugged
merchant vessel from sea which has
blessed our eyes for more than two
years past. The novelty Of the scene
attracted numerous spectators who
assembled on the wharves to greet
the welcome stranger; and as she
passed she was saluted with six guns
and three hearty cheers. This lit
tie incident serves to shew the COM
n,ercial feelings of the American
people, and affords an emphatic com
ment upon the folly and wretehed-
ness Of that impolicy which has fet-
tered their enterprise and impoye-
rished their pockets for several years
past. In no other country and by
no other people. would SO fragrant a
violation ofthe public feeling and in

patient and long suffering Dutch
would have been reused into resist.
ance. We are frequently told that
the character of Anne ricans has
been exalted by the late war-if
such be the fact it owes its exalta-
tion to the forbearance and foFtitude
with which they have endured their
expressions. They have loved their
rights and interests much /; but they
have loved their constitution better.
We hear from various sources,
that the reelection Of MIR. Lewis to
Congress is not Only certain, but
that it will be obtained by nearly as
great a majority of votes as on any
former occasion ; the unprecedented
exertiens Of the Democrats and Mr..
Mason's zeondeJul popularity to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

that the representative who will re
