fuse to leave it unless driven away by supe-
riour force. These rights are admitted and
defended by the National Government. The
principles on which they are defended are pro-
nounced by Gov. Troup" strange and novel;
and the United States are called upon to re-
nounce them, and to apply the necessary
force to drive the Cherokees out of Georgia,
accompanied with the threat, if they do not,
that Georgia will, even in opposition to tn e
authority of the Union. The system of ethics
by which they would justify such course. is
one which we apprehend will not be admitted
as of imperative obligation by the community
at large.
We shall close this article with but a single
remark. For " oppugnation,". of much less
decided character than this, New England
State would be placed under the ban of the
empire, and execrations loud and deep would
be poured upon it from those who do not now
utter single word of censure or disapproba-
ton.

No. l,

Start not, Mr.. Editor; for although the til
tie of our essay may have an unpleasant eff
feet on the auditory organ of literary man,
and the ominous "No. ~ which we have
chosen to prefix to it, may seem like threat
of the continuance of these papers; we do
most seriously assure you that their number
will not exceed a thousand !; and the title to
the contrary notwithstanding, we hope (par-
don our vanity, for it is surely in character)
that you and your readers will unhestatins-
ly set us down as characters whose cogitations
do most plentifully abound with wit, wisdom
and instruction.
Being but cypher, as it were, on the left
side ofthe great sum total of Literature, we
have chosen to commence our march incog.-
What are our reasons for pursuing this course
must for the present remain undivulged.-l
we arr blamed, we have only TO conjure up
the name Of some great man who has done so
before US we have only to point our invsi-
BILE finger to /" Stat nominis umbra,'' or the
Great UnknOWn, and the voice of censure will
b. hushed forever. The latter gentleman, it
is well known, from the time of his FIRST nom
appearance before the world, so long as he
was covered with the mantle of invisibility as
with garment, kept the whole race of literary
scribblers by the ears-Yes! the brasen trum-
pets OF the Edinburgh and Quarterly set up
grand shout Of praise and acclsmation to the
name Of the nameless-and their sub-perfor-
mers, down, down to the very pages of the
weekly news journal, joined in the chorus.
But no sooner was it admitted, much to the
annoy ance of many worthy doubters, among
whom was our friend DR.. Coleman, that this
man of fiction, was no other than the jolly
Sir Walter-no sooner was that known, than
the great ocean, which he had so long kept in
commotion, became as still and quiet as the
sea of forgetfulness.-So much for the magic
OF a name--or rather of no name at all, and by
it we intend to profit.
We are fond of elbow room, and the range
which we shall allow ourselves will therefore,
promise, however, to rob " Heaven, Earth and
Ocean" OF all their sweets nor do we fatter
ourselves with the idea, that our lighted taper
will send its rays into every corner of the
great Temple of Science nor that our single
arm is strong enough to lop off euery excres-
cence of fashion. and fashionable vice, with
which we are as fond of deforming ourselves,
as were those who lived in the days of our
worthy predecessor the Spectator. No. Mr..
Edtor-far be such vain thoughts from the
bosoms of those who compose the Blue Stock
ing Fraternity.
With the millions of ephemera, who are
daily sailing down the stream of time, and los
ingi themselves in the dark waters of oblivion,
we have only, like them, to live our day, and
like them also 10 be forgotten.

III
y has commenced the manufacture OF the
WGksfcId Hot AIR Stores at his Shop in Wor-
cester. These Stoves are 80 constructed as
TO warm any number of apartments in a
house at pleasure, by afording constant sup
ply of heated air, which is conveyed WHEREBY
er il is wanted. By them, house may be
warmed at much less expense of fuel than in
any other mode-and the objection so strong
ly urged against the common stove, that it
renders the air impure and unwholesome, is
entirely obviated. They are peculiarly adapt
ed to the warming Of Factories, Meeting Hous-
es, and all kinds of Public buildings. One
pr culiar recommendation ofthem is, that they
are free from danger By fire. One is now put
up in the new Meeting in this town,
and one in the dwelling-house of the Subscrib-
err on Thomas Street, where they can be ex-
amined by those who wish.
If desired Boilers may be attached to these
Stoves, and also Steaming Apparatus for wash
ing and cleansing clothes.
o. Orders directed to the Subscriber will
be promptly attended to. Dimensions of the
house and the number of the rooms to be
warmed, will be necessary in order to deter
mine the size of the stove.

MIR. EDITOR
1t is said that experience will test the utili
ty Of every pursuit in which men engage,
and will eventually place it on rational ba-
sis. The bankrupt, when he finds himself in j..
volved in ruin, will take warning from his own
indiscretion. THIS, however, seems to be a
purchase Of wisdom at rather too dear a rate.
In projects of a doubtful issue, it would be
very desirable, that the projectors should trust
to their responsibility, and not shelter them
selves under a pretcxt of promoting the pub
lie utility.
In this portion of our country, where public
vehicles are posting in almost every direction,
from which stranger would infer it to be a
great commercial region rather than the pos
session of industrious husbapdmen, suppose
few individuals, scatt red along considera-
BILE exten! ofterritory, are DESTROYS of increas-
ing the number already so numerous as to be
serious annoyance TO the industry and real
interests of the great mass of people. will
not stop to illustrate this position by sim
gle argument.
Example admonishes us that we shall hear
it again and again reiterated that the public
exigencies demand additional accommodation
in the location or alteration of ways. Hills
must be depressed, vallies elevated, and the
crooked made straight, that the eager pa.sen-
ger may be waited with all possible speed to
his place of destination. The credulous and
shortsighted will soon be carried away by the
delusion. We are also admonished by exam
pie, that committees Of sage men may be Sc
lected, who, after having weighed the subject
in all its bearings with the gravity and delib-
Grafton of a Roman Senate, would give il
not be surprised if the measure was followed
up BY such an overwhelming weight of testi-
mony and argument as would produce its ulti
mate adoption. After all this hustle is over,

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1924.
Presidential Elect on,

This day the Electors chosen assemble in
the several States, 10 give their vote for Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United States.
It is yet doubtful whether Crawford or Clay
win come into the House as the third candi-
date, and this uncertainty will prevent the
votes intended for either of them from being
given to any other candidate. Consequently
no choice can be effected by the Electoral
Colleges. Adams and Jackson will neither
OF them probably vary more than votes from
80 either way. Crawford will have from 81 to
40 and Clay from 81 to 43. If jackson
should have all the votes not yet heard from,
which is not probable, he will have but 100.
The result as far as heard is as follows:-

To the city of London are attached
765 watchmen and 80 patroles. The
constables, patroles and watchmen, who
are every night on duty in and around
the metropolis, are estimated 1T upwards
of 5000.
There are two houses in St. Giles

There they have three clubs, and when
they meet, they drink aud feed well,

semi-diameter 3l9.l5 perches-equaI the
length of the compasses.
ErpiGnation.-Le the compasses, opened
to an angle of 600 represent two sides of tri-
angle-suppose them TO stand upon any base
TO complete the triangle. The angles at the
base will be equal to one another; being sub
tended by the equal sides of the compasses
1t is also evident that these equal angles can
be no other than 600 each, in order that the
three angles may contain 1900. Hence the
triangle found as above) is equi-angular, and
semi-diameter of the circle, described with the
compasses extended to form the given angle,
