BOSTON, MARCH %.

The schooner Constitution, Captain
Huxford, from Boston for Trinidad, was
captured by piratical schooner, of IS to
Is tons burthen. with crew of 40 men,
ordinations, off Cape Largo. Capt. H.
and crew were detained Is days, when
they were put on shore at Cuba, whence
they travelled TO Havana.
Gait. H. states, as a positive fact, that
tzventy-one Of the Diilains comhosing
1'art Of the crew ofthe hiratical vessel,
aoere the same men svho had been tried
and convicted ofhiracy at .Ne7O- Orleans,
and pARDoNED by the President Of the
Uni!ed States T.! They, boosted of it !;
and when Capt. H, asked for permission
to come on deck and take the air, as he
was almost suffocated in the hold, they
told him it was not so hot Or uncomforta-
BILE as the Jail of New-Orleans. Those
same .atwenty-one pirates, in less than
thirty days from the time they were
liberated from NewOrleans, were on
board that vessel, and at their old trade.
Many Of them told Capt. H. that it was
their Captains intention, when he first
started OH the cruise, to murder all hands
OF every vessel he took, but that his heart
failed him. So it appears that the Capt
could not shed blood-but from his ex.
treme humanity, he thought it much bet
ter to put them on desolate Sand Key,
and leave them to linger away by hunger
and thirst.
This statement ought to be published
in every paper from Maine to the Mis-.
sissippi, that VIC may not hereafter learn
Of any more pirates being pardoned -
HEMP is the only eHectual cure for the
piratical distemper.

TO THE EDITOR.

i.ashington City, March 90, 1922.
DEAR SfR---You will see that the COM
mittee has reported on the subject Of the
employment ola Senator to examine the
Land Ofices in the west. The report
| is voluminous, and will, no doubt, be
read with great attention. It is report
however, to which do not believe Con-
gress will give lis assent----aad feel we'll
assured in my own mind that the nation
cannot.
The committee are supposed, from
the report Of the proceedings in tie In
telligencer, 10 have been unanimous " it'll
the exception of myself, in making the
report. This is not so. The commit
tee were unanimous in agreeing TO be
discharged from the further considera-
ton O. the subject, and to leave it to the
Judiciary to punish such abuses. Bat
two OF the committee best&s myself,
were opposed to all the reas6ning Of the
report which leads to the conclusion
7 that The appointment was either la7efat
or hrottr. On the contrary, they con-
ceived the appointment to be directly in
the teeth of the law.
1t was the reasoning Of the committee
in justification of the act, that induced
me to offer the resolution, which goes TO
condemn directly the principle upon
which tie act was done. And il is re-
solution which I feel confident viii. be
adopted----but if it should not, l shall,
nevertheless, believe that it asserts vi
tai and essential principle ofour govern
ment. A principle that in worse times
will prove the stronges safeguard ofthe
peoples rights. -'.
have fortornc until now to gay any
thing to you upon this subject, and l
should have still continued silent, if the
| repor, Of the proceedings in the paper
which l inclosc to you, had not have pro
| duced an imhressiou wide of the fact, as
it relates to the unanimous agreement oil
the committee to the rsherf.
In politics, i, is we'll known, there are
always two sides to every question. II
has however always been my desire To
be on the just and the correct side. In
this case, firmly believe am on that
side; believe the dearest, and most sa-
cred rights oflthe people, are intimately
connected with lis success.
The people shall have my views al
large, SO soon as l have Fl, and proper
opportunity 10 give them, upon this sub
ject.
/ am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, .r

We gave brief account, lew weeks
ago, of the new salt water, lsteiy dis
covered at the Saline, in this county, by
Gen. White, one of the manufacturers.
AT that time there were only he conf.
dence of hope to justify the tiatering
prospects entertained from the discovery.
Blu, now the reality attests the reasona-
blencss of those. hopes. 1t has been
found that the water is actually stronger
than stated, and we are happy 10 learn
shat the gentleman, to whose enterprise
we are indebted for this occasion Of
wealth to our county, MOTTO saysto the
state at large, is reaping partial re-
ward for his labor, making about a thou
sand bushels of salt week, with his
present iurnaces-lor which he finds a
ready sale. We also understand that
he is putting another furnace into opera,
ton, and digging another well. Other
of the Icssees are following his exam pie,
and no doubt is entertained but that they
will all succeed. Illinois Gag.

dent, understood 10 be with the unani-
nous assent of his official counsellors,
has been sustained by vote in ahe popu-
lar branch Of the Legislature, so nearly
unanimous, as to be almost Without a
dissenting voice. The aspecthof a go
yernment thus identified with the people
ofthe nation, in support of the cause of
freedom, is delightful to the patriot and
philanthopist, as i, must be imposing in
the eyes ofihe foreign world.
Let it not be supposed we would cast
censure on the individual WHO on this
OCCASION voted singly in the negative.
Far be the thought from US. Not agree
ing With him inopinion, we yet feel our
selves bound to respect the firmnes and
independence which enabled him to give
such vote in opposition TO the general
current Of opinion-as, from our know

beyond the reach even ofsuspicon.

We Yesterday noticed the proclama-
ton OF Boyer on taking possession ofthe
city OF St. Domingo. After stating that
the National flag floated on every part OF
the island, and that" in this island of liber-
ltythere are no more slaves, "he reminds
the Haytians that the reunion of the
children of Hayti has, after much pain
and trouble, been completed by my en-
try into the city of St. Domingo, which
has been brought about by the protecting
hand OF God, who rules the destinies of
nations" He recommends them to pro-
! fit BY the experience off years of vicis-
tuLes, and to continue to obey the laws,
which would serve to show the falacious
hopes of their enemies, and demonstrate
the correct reasonings of their philan-
,hrophic friends, who still continue to
defend their cause. .Ee speaks of the
excellence of their soil, anS enjoins
them to profit by its productions and
encourage foreign commerce. lie next
addresses i" the old soldiers Of the I'M
mortal Potion the founder Of thu repub-
lict," telling them to continue to show
themselves worthy Of the just pral7es
they had earned. To the inhabitants OF
the eastern part OF the island, he recon-
mends forgetiUlness oftheir sncien, con-
dition, and to think now only ofthe hap
py days they would enjoy under their
new government.
=" Haytians (he continaes) in vain do
our enemies endeavor to alarm powerful
foreign Aa,ions on the subject Of the
union Of cur country. The principles
established by the articles 40 and Al Of
our constitution gives US the ocean for
our boundary, and forbid, by the 5th.
article, that we form any enterpriz etc dis
turb the peaccofthe neighboringislands.
We are warlike and agricultural peo-
lple, who will only take up arms to de-
tend our independence; always generous
and liospitabls to those foreigners who
live among us, and who respect the laws
of the country"
In conclusion, he says, that he no
doubt was destined by the Divinity to
give triumph to their cause; that all his
life would be religiously devoted TO pro-
mote the glory and prosperity OF Hay,i !;
and that he counts upon the aid and con-
currence of all his fellaw citizens to en-
able him to raise their nation to the rank
it must occupy in the civilized world.
