Last evening about o'clock, mcst daring Rob.
berry was committed al the house occupied by Mrs.
Livingston, in Market street, doors above Tenth.
The front door on Market street being open, two
men and TWO women walked boldly in, securing the
door behind them, went directly up stairs where the
family were sitting in back roonl--presented pis-
tos, tied Mrs Livingston and servant girl back to
back with silk handkerchieis they brought with
them, and tied the arms of Mrs. Livingston's
daughter behind her, and while one villain stood
guard over them with horsemans pistol, the other
man and women broke open trunks, bureaus, &c.
and ransacked the house, Alter tarTyng about half

Ia5es the Robbers secured the family IN back room
and departed, taking with them variety of plum

will not go unpunished Prompt measures should
Ibe taken to secure the villains in order that females

The annual election is approaching and now
no less than heretofore, it behoves all who wish
well to the administration of the government of
this State, to look about hen.-to see to it that
nothing is lost by negligence, by want Of union,
or by want of prudence. If, to secure con-
tinuance of political tranquility, exertion be
necessary, so is united exeftion, and exertion
discreetly directed. Experience warrants us
in calling the attention Of the federalists of
this town TO the subject, and to the impor-
lance of general attendance at the meeting
to be held at the Court House, the ensuing
week. 1t has happened that such meetings
have been too thinly attended to accomplish
all the objects they are designed to effect
This is to be attributed to the absence of par
ty excitement--a cause, which, in fact, makes
il more important that there should be full
representation of the people in the meetings
at which candidates for office are to be select
ed.
But we need not enlarge on this topck. It
is, we trust, sufficient to make these suggest
ions. Much depends upon this county; and
more, perhaps, than usual, upon the charac-
ter of the measures taken here preparatory to
the ensuing election.

was the principal subject Of discussion.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20.-After the usual
disposition of several reports on local and pri-
yate applications, the House went into Com

Army appropriation Bill.
Much discussion took place in committee
on filling up the blanks in this bill, when it

The House, in committee, again considered
this bill. Mr.. Woodson opposed the motion
to destroy the bill, in speech of nearly two
hours.
Mr.. Lowndes spoke in favour Of the motion,
until tI.rce o'clock, when the committee rose.
and obtained leave to sit again.
FRIDAY, FEB. 22.-Messrs. Cook, Russell.
Golden, Mtlane, Trimble, Stevenson, and
Lowndes, were appointed on the Select Com
nlittee on Dir. COOKS resolution offered yes
terday. THE object Of the in calling
for the Information from the Treasury which
has been referred to this committee, he stated
to be, to ASCERTAIN, whether one Of the Sena-
tors Of the y. $. had not accepted the Office of
Inspector of certain Land Offices, and received
fer his services more than 81 900, and to in
quire whether such condoct has not been in
violation Of the dignity Of Senator, and re-
pugnant to the spirit Of the constitutional
Appropriation Bill.

The House, in committee, Mr.. Lathrop in

was supposed to stand before the opinion OF
the Attorney General had been given on it..

amendment TO the Constit,ltion-Th The .Aalc-
ton Duty BM.-A correspondent (who, by
the way, is not a member of the Legislature)
informs us that the reference by the Senate, of
the proposed Amendment, to the next Legis-
lature, was not considered, in that body, as
tantamount to a rejection but was moved
for by member friendly to the amendment,
in order to get rid of provision, which had
been added, allowing County to be divided
when it should be entitled to elect more than
six Senator'S
As to the Auction Duty bill, the same COR
respondent informs Us that 6 majority of the
Senate were in favour of it upon proper prin-
ciples - but that they doubted the consti-
nationality of a general law, with an excep-
ton, from its operation, of counties containing
less than one thousand inhabitants - and
that no amendment was attempted because
the objection had been in vain urged in the
House of Representatives. This exception
seems an improper one, and we should have
been glad to see it struck ont, and the Bill
returned to the House with the amendment.
We are told further, that the report of the
Committee of the Senate, adverse to the
leading principles of the Bill, was mol accept
ed and that the reference of the bill to the
next Legislature was upon the report Of
second Coramittee, and on the ground that it
"could then be reviewed under more favoura-
BILE circumstances.n
This explanation of the course of proceed
ings, in relation to these subjects, will, no
doubt, be interesting to our readers for the
daily reports, furnished by the Boston papers,
did not detail them so accurately as to lead to
full understanding of them.

The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1822-03-06

We published, lately, communication on
the subject of Boston influence, which was
written, evidently for the purpose of ridiculing
certain g i'aordG1ate efforts to excite uamerted
odium against the people Of Boston.n To in
form our readers that tAe remarks were IRON
ical, would, we supposed, be an insult to their
understanding. Tocaution then against be-
lieving our correspondent to be in earnest.
when he spoke Of the wicked plot to convert
the House of Correction into State Prison,
would, we imagine, have appeared somewhat
ludicrous. And yet the Salem Gazette
speaks of |" communications in the Worcester
papers," in manner that leads to the infer
ence that our mischievous correspondent need
ed an interpreter. The Springfield Federalist,
also, has evidently been led into misappre.
hension for which we can account only upon
the superstition, that the remarks of our cor
respondent were hastily read and hastily com
