A Socie'y has been established in Mss,scnu-
sets, by some Christian philanthropls,s, to
discourage war. Whatever opinion may
be entertained of the utility of this Ins,tu
tion, no doub, can exist about the purity Of
the motives Of the respectable individuals
who compose ii. One of the stronscs, ar
gumen,s for war 10 Europe, a Gro owded pop
ulaiion, can't be found in this coun,ry for a
long period OF ofume-The following letters
were received by the founder of this Soclc.
ty, IN answer to an application 10 the writer's
for their support Of its views. ANY letters
coming from such eminent men as Mr..
ADAMS aud Mr.. JEFFERSON, mus, be inter.
es,ing but these are highly Characteristic.
We copy than from the 9th number of

Nix. ADAMS AN SWER.

/ QUINCY, Feb. s, 1915
DEAN SiR-.-I have received your kind
letter OF the Esd Of January, aud thank you
for the pamphlets enc losed with il.
It's very true, as my excellent friend, Mr..
Norton, has informed you, ths, have read
many Of your publications with pleasure.
nave also, read, almost all the days OF
my life, the solemn reasonings and pathetic
declamations Of Erasmus, OF Fenelon, OF ST.
Pierre, and many others against war, snd in
favor Of peace. My understanding and my
hsart, accord with them, at frst blush.
Bot, alas longer and more extensive ex.
peiience has convinced me, that wars are as
necessary and as ine vi,sbie, in our system, as
hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes.
Our beloved country, sir, is surrounded by
enemies, Of tho most dangerous, because the
most powerful and most unprincipled char
actcr. Collisions of national interest, Of
commercial aud manufacturing rivalries, are
multiplying around us. Instead of discour-
agiog marlial spirit, iu my opinion, il ought
to be excited. We have not enough of it TO
defend Us by sea o, land.
Universal and perpetual peace appears TO
Ine, no more nor lsss than everlasting passive
Oh, die nee, and nop-resistance. The human
hock would soon be heeccd and bulchered by
one or few.
cannot, therefore, sir, be subscriber or
. member of your society.
do, sir, most humbly supplica,e the olo-
gians tho philosophers, and the polilicisns, TO
lv, me ole 10 peace. seek only repose.
With the most cordial esteem, however,
am, sir, your friend and servant.

! 10 Tanj The question asked, HIsit con- "a or
for ns,ion 10 obtain redress Of wtongs ~
war;" The answer 10 this qocsiion you
vii. OF course draw from history in the mean
tire, reason will answer on the grounds OF
probability, that were the wrong has 5een
done by weaker nations, the stronger one has
generally been able TO enforce redress; but
where by a stronger nation, redress by war
J. has been neither obtained nor expected by
the weaker on the contrary, the loss has
been increased by the expenses OF the war,
in blood and treasure yet II may have OBJ
tanned another object, equally securing itself
from future wrong. Il riay have retaliated
on the aggrcssor, losses OF blood and treasure
far beyond the value to biD, OF the wrong he
had committed, and thus have made the ad-
vantage Of that 100 dear purchase to leave
him in disposition TO renew the wrong in
future in this way, the loss by the war may
have secured the weaker nation from loss by
future wrong. The case you state oftwo
boxers, both of whom get a"tcrriblc brnis-
ing," is apposlte to this he, OF the TWO who
committed the aggression on the other, al
!, though victor in the scufflc, yet probably
finds his aggression not worth the bruising It
has cost him. To explainc this by numbers,
il is alleged, ths, Great Britain took from US,
before the war, near 1000 vessels, and that
during the war We took from her 400 that
be fore the war, she seizcd, aud made slaves
of 5000 Of our citizens, and that in the war
we killed more than 5000 of her subjects,
and caused her to expend such a sum q
mounted 10 4 or thousand guineas head
for every slave she made. She might have
purchased the vessels she took, for less than
the value of those sho lost, and have used the
5000 Of her men killed, for the purposes 10
which she applied ours, have saved the or
5000 guineas a head, and obtained charac-
ter of Justice, which is valued 10 a nation as
to an individual. These considerations, there
| fore, leave her without inducemcnt to plum
der properly, and take men in futore on such
dear terms. Ineithcr afirm pnr deny the
truth Of these allegations, nor is shcir truth
material to the question they are possible,
and lhcrefor present Case which will claim
your consideration in discussion of the
general question; Whether any degree of
| injury can render a recourse to war cxpcdi
eni Sill less do propose, to draw to N.Y.
self any part in this discussion. Age, and
ed my attentions from public subjects, and
| LETT me unequal TO the Iabours OF corrcspon-
| aenee, beyond the limits Of my personal con-
Gems. retire, thereof from the question,
| with sincere wish, that yonr Writings may
! nave cifec, IN lessening this greatest of hu.
| u,an evils, sod that yon may retain life and
| health, to enjoy the contemplation of this
happy spectacle and pray you &c be assured
Of my great respect.

INDIANA STATE.

LoUIsyILLs. July I've are happy 10
learn that the Indiaos Convention have agreed
to aceept the terms offered by Congress, by q
vote of 81 TO s. They have fixed the general
election for the eficers Of the new state, on
the fret Monday ia August next, and the scar
of government at Cosydon aboat 25 pleasaHs
miles fton this place, for 9yesrs, by major

s,i,u,ion of government for the new state,
whose denomination is the STAKE Of Indiana.
SO soon as We receive the constitution of the

HyNrsvrLLE, (Teo.) June is.--A rumor
hes reached town by . gentle man from For:
Claiborne that the Creek Indians, TO tbe num-
ber Of 1900, hac embodied near that place,
painted and armed, avowing hostile in,en-
tion, and that the surveyors who were inter-
secting that country, were compelled TO run
into For, Claiborne for protection. - sta
ted that General Gaines was collecting forces
at St. Stephens to march against and cispcrsos
them. It's strongly suspected that the Big
Warrior, who processes so much friendship
Tor the white people, is secretly at the head
Of these deuded people.
