! In pursuance OF the principle avOwed in the
last number, itnay not be entire y out OF sea-
son TO observe that separation was necessary
event. The fact to be sure having become
fixed, this may seem to- be sort of truism.
| But 1t would have been never The less true al
though it had not taken place this twenty
years. And it is not every actual occur
renee for which there is an absolute antece-
! dent necessity.
There is undoubtedly however species
OF necessity sometimes attending ON the
course OF political affairs. There are some
| political events, which may be regarded be-
forehaad as certain. OF this nature was the
independence of the United States. In the
same manner we may reckon upon the ulti-
mate loss TO England OF her India possessions.
We may calculate with confidence on the
eventual annexation of Canada and Nova
Scotia, and Florida to the United States Nor
can there De any doubt OF the final ndepen.
dence Of Spanish America.
Events OF this kind are indicated by circum
stances. The principles by which these
events are ascertained are not arbitrary.
There ale certain natural monuments, which
determine the individuality of states and ma
tons and which point distinctly to their
union or their separation--such as large wa.
tiers or high lsnds.--Arthcial distinctions al
so may effect as entire disunon, as noun
tains or oceans--As for example-the inter
section OF an independent territory. There
can he no affinity between portions Of state
not adjacent TO each oiher.-But this necessi-
ty, 1t may be said, is itself arbitrary and de-
ponds upon opinion. Opinion, il is true,
exercises marvellous Influence upon events.
But is it in general The opinion that creates
The necessity, or The necessity that determines
the opinion In the view of plain common
sense the latter will probably he the sound
conclusion. To Judge of the correctness Of
the opinion in the present case, il may be
we'll enough TO advert TO IFS foundation.
IN the first place il is obvious, that so uni
form and extensive an impression with regard
to The final separation OF Maine from Massa
chusetts cannot reasonably be conceived to
have been entirely gratuitous. So thorough
persuasion, as had long prevailed upon this
subject, cannot well be supposed to have ex-
Isted without some considerable foundation in
the nature ofthe case. The fact, that such
an expectation did prevail admits of as little
doubt as that which was entertained by The
Jews. Indeed it seems TO have been consid
cred generally admitted point, that such an
event must certainly take place at some iu-
ture time. The leading men OF the district
fof the time being for more than twenty years
past have been busy in uniting their counsels
and exertions at various periods 10 effect this
interesting object. There has scarcely been

DIPLOMACY.

1t would seem that the diplomatic trade OF
our country is as well understood and as reg
uIarly practised, as any one in the whole cir
Gle of common empioyments. For few
years past. il has been very little else than
appointing, ouyfaiag, a voyage in frigate,
and resignation. This department is sub.
jet TO constant changes and specula lions.
Mr.. Pinckney was sent TO Naples and Russia
made rapid trip to both, and returned. Mr..
Russell has been out one or two such trips.
and Quilted. DR. Eustis did much the same
thing. Mr.. Campbell IS follow ing suit--and
now the National Inielligencer informs Us that
Mr.. Forsyth, who has but just reached his
place OF destination, il about to resign and
return. This il perfectly farcical. IF the
salaries of ambassadors are not sufficient to
support them, they ought to be increased, ev-
en- on the score o. economy-tor no cornpen
sation that would ever be ;ho't OF would equal
the expenses caused by these constant changes
to say nothing of the Inconvenience and inju
~ to the public interests. Nine thousand dol

PENSIONERS OF THE o. SraTEs

PENSIONERS OF THE o. STATES.
A great number of the Pensioners have un-
fortunately got the impression, that they must
apply for their pensions on the days in Septem-
Der and March, when they made payable, or
that they cannot receive them till the next semi
annual pay day The fact is not so They can
not receive payment before the days on which it
becomes due, but they may at any time after
wards, In March last great number of that
deserving class OF men, under the aforementioned
impression, came to town on what is called pay
day, and had to wait, spending their time and
money, more than a week before it was possible
to give them turn to receive payment. Sc
numerous have they now become, that it would
not be possible to pay more than very sma II
part of the whole number in one day.

that although there are large tracts Of unculti.
