the original letters themselves, which time
since placed in my possessions by the President,
with authority them might think proper, in any
way not objected BY the writer Both those gentlemen

friendship and intended for the press should under
any circumstances be drawn forth and exhibited 10 public
view. The necessity, however, which imposes their pub

written, will be ascrbed TO the proper cause, and
readily understood by those who have witnessed what has
recently been said, and wren and printed, respecting

Toung's Night Thoaghts.- Beattie, in one Of
bis letters, takes the following notice Of Young.
"When any one begins TO find pleasure in signing
over Young's Night Thoughts in corner,it is time
TO shu, the book and return to company.--When
first read Young. my heart was broken 10 think Of
the poor mans Affections Afterwards took it into
my head that where there was so much lamentation,
there could not be excessive sufferngs and could
not help applying to him sometimes those lines Of
song
.sBclieve me the Shepherd but feigns
He's wretched to show he has wit"
"On talking with some of DR.. Young's particular
friends in England, have since found that my con
lecture was right for that while he was composing
his Nigh Thoughts he was really as cheeul as any
other man."

we omitted the other day, specially 10 advert to
she fact that the bill, which had passed both Hous-
es Of Congress- authorizing certain Surveys and Els
tima.es for Roads and Canals, having received the
signature of the President, has become law. This
act is one by which the present Session Of Congress
will be remembered, The amount Of expenditure,
directly involved in ii is indeed small, not greater
probably than the actual cost of the time employ.

pie Of it, however is important, it being the first

We observe singular misrepresentation, on the
part Of some Of our public prints, In respect TO The
effect Of the bill which has passed the Senate, and
il row before the House OF Representatives OF the
United States, for abolIshing Imprisonment Tor
Debt 1t seems to be supposed that the bill, II It
become law, is to be universally operative, ane IS
20 abolish imprisonment for debt throughout the
land. The least reflection, however, will shew,
thai an act Of the Congress Of the United States, on
the subject can apply only to cases in which the
Courts Of the United States have cognlzance, and,
OF course not to cases of judgments in the Courts
of the severed states, which must, even should this
bill pass continue to be regulated by the laws OF
the States. There is good ground 20 believe, how
ever, tina, the example OF the general government
on this point would be followed at no long distance
by the governments OF the several States.
