One insisted or my living a piece OF

, My wife in the mean time, you may
be sure, was NOT idle m contriving how
TO dispose Of this. new acquisition. She
found out, in the first place, (according
TO the complaint of most women) that she
had not got gown TO her back, at least
not one fit for her nru to appear in. Her
wardrobe sf linen was. no less deficient;
snd she discovered several chasms in our
furniture, especially in the articles Of
plate and china. She is also determined
TO see a Hnle pleasure, as she calls it. and
has actually made party to go to the
next opera. Now, IN order to supply
these imnediatc wants and necessities,
She has prevailed on me (though alta great
less) 10 turn the prize into ready money

number was i%.r own choo-ing: ard she
has further. persuaded me (as We have
had such good luck) to Law out great

me it is indifferent which way the money

must be the dread reality!-From some
OF the spectators we learn, that it was a
scene which transGxed in breathess hor-

the flames approached him, the piercing
shrieks of the unfortunate victim struck
upon the heart with fearful, painful vi
bration-~but when the deyouring ele-
ment seized upon his body, all WAS
shushed-yet the cry of agony still thrill
ed in the ear, and an Involuntary and
sympathetic shudder ran through the

pensation of justice may be attended
with such salutary effects as to forever
preclude the necessity Of its repetition.

HARTFORD CONVEN77ON!

The plotters OF the Hartford LonUen-
Hon finding that the recollection OF that
treacherou. measure has become as" cd
ious as witch" TO the people OF this
country, now come forward with an at
tempted defence Of it; in which they re-
yive the stale, jesui,ical plea, that Mey
did NOT mean any thing. Whenever
that party have found that their violent
measures wonld not me- the peoples
support, they have b0ckcs1M under the
paltry cry that Mey dit not mean any
Ming--that they had Transformed them,
selves to school boys and puppets, and
wye dancing about merely for the a.
: nT,isement OF the public. But this is too
stale an arti6ce t0 deceive those who
know them. Did they mean nothing
by their violent publications during the
war, inciting the people to resistance of
the government and laws OF the country !?
Did they mean nothing by opposing the
loans and enlistmen,s by suffering the
enemy to occupy q large portion OF the
state, and refusing to order ou:a militia
~ force at the call oi the national govern.
mcnt to exprl them? BY advising Com.
B,lnbridge to anchor the independence
~ 6eloqp tie fo,fs, and by mterdicting
the use OF the side walks to officers Of
the u. ), army and navy2 We, who
have lived among them, know them
well; and we cannot but regret that the
editors .oi the National lnteligepcer
should have lent their columns to the
vindication Of men OF this character. a
proper degree OF liberality is commenda-
bic, but it is possible to carry even this
spirit too far. Ii the ,..:n,bcrs of the
Hartford Convention have any thing TO
say for themselves, let them say it
through the medium of their own jour
mails. Certain We are, that many re-
spectacle federal papers in the Union
would decline the ungracious task. The
outrageous doings Of the Hartford Con-
vention party were as obnoxious to the
American iederalists, Cot whom, foriu.
nateIy the number is very large and re.
spectable) Us n the republicans.
Il must be confessed, that the |" Mem.
Der Of the Hartford Conveniion," in
lodging the doings OF that assemblage in
a republican Office, has shewn himself an
expert aud cunning politician. Wien
enquiry shall hereafter be made Tor the
journals of the Convention, it will be
answered, they are in the Office of the
National lntelligencer; they are perfectly
harmless, and could not have meant any
thing else they would not have been
placed there. But is the entire journal
IN THAT Office, or any where 'elsc ? Did
! they not sit With closed doorss Were
not propositions advanced which were
never recorded, nor e,er made public ?
