We are sorry to say that this community
winch has always been distinguished for the
purity OF ITS morals, and for its domestic felicity
~ repose, hasfor the last two weeks eendisturb-

On sunday evening last, the centre of the town
presented scene of tupult and disorder, and
most furious riot took place, between our black
population and body of whites, which eyentu-
ated IN the loss Of blood and reputation.
On Monday evening, we were again thrown
INTO state OF confusion, by a similar transac-
t'oo' entering only from that Of Sunday even

Early on Monday morning. an infamous pla-
card was posted on the flagstaff at the Bridge,

has been accidentally delayed
FOR THE SPECTATOR.

what he calls Thoughts on the Con-

miscalled. There are good many
pords about the conv ention-and soine
very harsh rpOrds against MIR. Birk beck -
not his pamphlet but himsell-but ii IS
believed there are as few thoughts as is
possible to spread over SO much space.
. L he reasoning amounts to something ike
this--Mr. Birkbeck came from Eng

Do, Mr.. Honestns, tell us what these
detects are. We have asked your wri-

they were dangerous to our liberty
nor how they could be amended. II is

RARE DISCOVERY.

a writer in the " Gazette" printed al

pretty well known for their pith and good
sense) is federalism. How, think you
he has found it out? Read the follow.
ing sentence and see,
81 think, Mr.. Editor, Jonathan mus
be hreny much of iederalist: For he
says, "the people Of that state (meaning
New-York) and the other tree states, tc
their honor, and their incaiculahle advan.
tage have rellnquished that noxious pow
er, and they cannot Resume IT, his is
enough. This shows him 10 be federal
ist "
Now would ask, what there is in the
sentence, which is quoted in the above
paragraph as Jonathan freeman's, 10
give the least idea OF his being federal
is, Is it because he says, that the peo-
pie of New-Y York, &c. have rehnquish-
ed the Doxious power" OF holding slaves
Or, is j, because he says that this reih-
enlistment rebounds to the " honor and
mcolcalable advantage" OF those states

End that you have not been as influential
as you might have been in promoting that

duc,ion of slavery into this state, it
would therefore be very advisable to ap-
point day of fasting and abstinence,
in order that the Lord might eraciously
pardon your crimra negligence in mai

1t has also been stated that the free

forward every man in the county that

Yet | have the pleasure OF informing the
people, that in Beaucoup settlement there
are about so voters, all opposed to the

ed from them.
With regard to late publication in
the elligencer, purporIing to be from
a on-conyentionlst in this county, to his
lricnd in Edw ardseiile, it carries It's own
condemnation. Any man OF dIscern-

use the phrase Of HE old man, would
suspect the author 10 be person that
the "hoty brethren" have as little to do

the unclean spirit, to prove he Is the son

however, one consolation left, and that

whose hearts glow with freedom, will
rally around the polls, and, by their votes,
will satisfy the few persons IN this coun-
