~ possession OF Fast Florida, founded
on 4 sbreach Of treaty on the part OF old
Spain and, throwing out Of considera-
ton every immunity derivable from a
violation, on her part, Of the conventional
law Of nations, how far would not the
COVE be warranted in making that
possession eternal, under the natural law
Of nations, taking into consideration the
conduct Of the Spanish government from
the period Of the commencement Of the
late wal until this timer
ist. In the year 1914, there we're land
ed from the best information, within the
Spanish province Of East Florida, twenty
two thousand stand Of arms, and three
hundred barrels of fixed ammunition, In
tended for the Greek Indians. Some OF
these arms bore the tower hill stamp
were new, and we're brought into the
American camp.
Cd. When general Jackson invaded
Pensacola, the fort called sBarrankas,
was garrisoaed by English troops, who
on his advance, evacuated and blew it
up, under an apprehension that he would
take il by storm, and then turn the guns
on their ships Of war which lay in the
harbor.
s. 1t is very possible, and / imagine
that Gonzales Manrique, who was at
that period governor Of Pensacola, pre-
vious to this invasion, avowed in writ
ten communication, that he would supply
the Greek Intians with every thing in his
power. Whether this letter was the pro.
duction OF English policy operating on
Spanish stupidity; or whether it was the
offspring Of a mercantile house in Pensa
cola or whether it was the inpotent III
minstion Of an infatuated adherent to
pusillanimous royalty, cannot we'll be
determined but in any event, the neu-
trality of this province was violated,
against the interest of the United States,
without even protest against it on the
rart Of Spain-and, without even com
municatiun Of the fact to the officer com.
handing the 9TH military district.
4th. How far the same spirit Of covert
hostility to the United States has been
evinced from the same source, since the
commencement of the late affair." will
probably be made the subject Of a future
communication in proper time.
9Th, Taking into consideration the debt
which Spain has incurred for speliations
on our commerce during the late convul
sions, about Ave millions of dollars, com.
bined with the foregoing enumeration OF
facts, how tar, sir, would not the United
states be justified in taking and holding

FOR THE ENQUIRER.

Donbts concerning the merits Of the proposed
system of public education, most respect
fully addressed to the General A Ssem6iy Of
Efrgtnn-BY A CONSTITUENT.
But with this, (the virginian governmont)
" though man might he happy, he will not al
" ways. nor indeed long be sstisfied.-H will
reach at perfection absolute aud unqualified.
lie torgets, that theoretical perfection in gov
" ernmcnt, and practical oppression, are closely
" allied. tie will bemore than man, and lie be.
" comes less" Pursuits Of Literature.
In attempting To bring iafo view tile
comparative merits OF tile principles of
election by .freshoidsrs, aud by hcnsekeep-
srS, II is not intended to Teirace argu-
mentS, which have recently been before
the public upon that interesting subject.
IL is thoaght that as all governments are
instituted for The protection Of both person
aud property; that those founded upon
the elective principle, ought so TO be re-
gulated, as TO cause that principle TO have
direct and Underwriting tendency to the
protection OF 10th and that rs land is the
only species OF fixed and permanent pro
perry, AND IS the source OF every species,
a forms the only proper and natural limit
for tie qualification Of the VOTER. These
results appear 10 be little short of self-evi-
dent propositions. But as MANY theories
are 9tioai, tending TO establish the oppo-
site results; and arc actually carried into
practice in most Of The United States; it
l. thought MOTTO be altogether nninterest-
ing, 10 add to- tie Information already be-
fore the public, a short historical account
Of lie tendencies and effects al these two
principles, as disclosed in Great Britain,
after regular practice upon both, for a.
bove five hundred years especially as an
attempt is made in the bill TO Introduce
the principle OF vsting BY bomsekeepers
for the trustees Of the primary schools !;
which would necessarily have the effect
of Introducing the same principle in the
elections to tie General Assembly, with
Dat even the formality of consulting
convention upon the subject. The prin-
cipe OF elections by frecholdcrs was in
trodaced into Great Britain by the Sax
ons, about the year $50, and II is proba-
bic that It's origin was of very high anti
