we have quoted-but we hasten to give the sac
ideas of our eighbor-in-law, the immaculate ca.
terer of the Argus who, in this instance as in
most others, seems to take il for, granted that
whenever a cause presents itself too bad for an
honest man to espouse it deyolves upon him to
defend it. Although he is under the necessity of
s. iustifying wrong by wrong,n yet as his object
was evidently to show his skill in nmanagins bad
cause, we pot but he has done it as effectual-
ly, and quoted as much tots,a as could reasonably
be expected from the most able advocate. The
next time he tries his skill in this way, ne would
suggest for his consideration the propriety of his
undertaking to prove that /" the moon is made of

Englishmen taken prisoners by, Cen. Jackson's

ly engaged 10 aiding aud abetling the saya-
ges, have been put TO death by te American
general that is, treated IN The. same spdy as they
and ttsiy associates IN arms had ahgays been ac

nothing in all this that ought to arouse public
feelings to any unusual degree of warmth !;
and that il has so, appears yet. more remarka

duced on the same public by some other facts
