HARD TINES.
ON SEDUCTION.

Among the various crimes, the pro.
duct OF licenuous age, there is scarce
any that carries with i; SO much COM
Hlcated guilt, as the dcbauching of in
nocent young women. The parents,
OF what the seducer wells under the sae-
cious name Of fashionable gailantry.
are deceit, perjury, lust; and inElrap.--
rlin, n,ui'icr, are lis traglcai offspring.
Should any man by artul insinuations
deceive another, in all affair of great I'M
portance should be, to attain his end,
make use Of repeated oaths, and solemn
nprecat.ons and should he al that vc-
ny time know, that this abused person
was his real friend what pursuit, hag
interest would be sufficient excuse tor
such viilany? Such and more criminal,
Is the most innocent part, the beginning
OF All intrigue; more criminal, as lar as
love aud tenderness surpasscs friendship.
| might almost venture to submit 10 the
determination Of our dcbauchee, if that
,nomentary satisfaction he thus impious-
ly courts, is, even in his own opinion, an
equivalent for the the wickedness essen
tial 20 lis attainment.
But let him turn the perspective, and
behold il in its terrible consequences.
The loss OF reputation Immediately fol-
lows the forfeiture, of innocence, accom-
panied with the neglect OF ali The vir-
tuous, all the desirable part nfthe world.
Abandoned thus to the mercy of the IL
berthe, he in few months, stated with
iniqui,y, (of such short duration are Vi
cious pleasures) withdraws himself and
leaves her Who can describe the an
ger, grief, shame, horror, despair, the.
legion of fends, that distract the mind
thus scduoed, thus forsaken reduced 10
dire dilemma, either of continuing a
miserable existence by means the most
shocking to a rational creature, or oi end
ing il by sin that can never be repented
Of! The effects Of the choice OF ;!c last
terrible expedient are seldom capacie Of
being concealed; but 1t is unknown, Ind,
fear, hardly creditsble, what numhrrs
of innocents arc sacrificed on account Of
this odious crime. How great must that
guilt be, that can thus silence the strong
voice of maternal affection !---T!lerc is
vet another aggravation of this abemipa-
bic practice, which is, that it is an injury
of such nature, as admits of no ade-
qus,e repera'ion. Marriage indeed,
though wide Of a full! reoompense, yet
approaches the nearest to it, and in my
opinion, is the leas, that can be done by
man who has any remains of virtue,
honor, or good nature.

men ofhonor quarrel in that countrv, the

THE AFFAIR AT PENSACOLA.

n a.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE proceedings
Of Governor jackson in relation 10 fhe eY-
governor Callaya, have not, so far as our
observation has extended, been impeached NV
the public but, not acquainted with the ex-
tent of the authority with which the governor
ofFlorlda is clothed, The exercising the now
ers of Spanish captain general until Con
gress take the subject up, and extend the laws
OF the Union to the Territory,) many indiyi-
duals have been disposed not to acauiesce in
the proprlety of the governors conduct to-
wards the FederalJudge who issued the writ of
habeas corpus. In regard, however, TO the
disputed supremacy between those two Off
GERS, we are glad to find it stated in the New
Orleans Advertiser, that upon re-exanina-
ton vi the matter, as to the writ of babeas
corpus, Judge FromeDtin became satisfied that
ne had no right to issue the writ; and thus,
we hope, the unpleasant collision of authority
terminated. NM Int
We adyerted a few weeks ago To the reduc-
ton of the receipts from hostages which had
taken place, and which, in the course OF the
year, would probably diminish to gI0O 900 less
than the expenses Of the establishment. The
same thing, we find, has occurred in England.
but TO much greater extent We perceive.
by the statements published in the English
papers. that the receipts from the Post Office
N Great Britain, in the first quarter of the pre-
sent year, fell short ofthose in the correspond.
ing quarter of the last year 10000 dollars.
which would make, for the whole wear. Am
aggregate diminution of 100000 dollars. The
cause OF this falling of in England is attribu-
table, almost entirely, we presume, TO the
stsEDatien Of business, AID the pecuoiary
