his paternal inheritance from the foreclo-
sure of a weighty mortgage The young

forward, obstinate Scot, who had been
brought up yictualier, aad who, with

From the language of the remarks made

Nh. PRINTER.

MIR. PRINTER,
No line Of conduct which virtuous
politician can pursue, can screen him
from the censure Of dem agogues. 1t he
is silent and inactive, they brand him
with the epithe,s of fool and numskull--
it active and enterprising, they call him
busy body, and scrutinize and distort his
every action. This in small degree is
useful; for the representative ought TO
know that he receives his power from the
people, and to them is amenable for his
conduct. From a fair investigation no
honest man will shrink. Yet bounds
ough, to be set, to the liberties taken with
all public characters. A deviation from
truth, or an Unfair statement Of facts,

Mr.. Secretary CRAWFORD left this city
yesterday, with his family, on visit to
his domicile in Georgia.
The PRESIDENT has been for several
days at his farm in Virginia, distant from
this place about thirty miles. But, as
he will reside in the country but few
days at time, frequently returning hi
Their as public duties may call him, it was
not thought necessary, as it otherwise
might have been, to notice his late de-
parture. Nat. Intel. July6.
