! factors OF ne hamrn rnce.--In Europe, NC
see three kings lragned together, for the
purpose of crushing every manifestation OF
liberal opinions, and restraining the mach
OF intellectual rs we'll rs physical improve
ment. Like Canute, they have fixed their
seat upon the mRrgin of the beach, add
hanghtiiy attempted ta ailix limits 10 the
waves though they have not yet, like
that monarch, learned how impotent are
their commands. They in vain endeasor
tellret. and tn qnrnch its fires. IL is com
| posed of material intangible To the steel
aud Ia the sibhet and the light of its course
Will be rs durable as the world. The
! league of free states proposed To be formed
by Bolivar is of a different character 1t
IS designed, nut To impede the advance al
man 10 happiness. bat to add a new impulse
10 his natural energies. Ii is designed, not
10 foster ambition, nor 10 add, in It's con-
gregated strength, an inducement To wars
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but TO reprl the as
sauls of adverse leagues, and to resist the
attacks of the European drspots vino wish
again To reduce its members To subsection
aud bondage. II j. not its object to rendrr
stable and secure the crowns aud sceplres
of despots, who pretend TO reign by the
Jus dtuinum, and are always ready To snp-
port this pretence by the ultima rriio but
to fix upon permanent bases the right of
the people 10 self government, aud their
capacity 10 exercise this right. Such OBJ
Iects must have the hearty concurrence
Of every Americana every friend to
freedom, 10 whatever quarter OF the globe
he may dwell.
Whether THIS country should take part
with the ) ,uh American States is qnrs-
ton of too much moment, and Invoicing
too many considerations, to be slightly dis
posed Of We are not prepared, To day, to
slate our views at lar5e On this pat Of the
question: We are, however, of opinion,
that while we should adhere tn the adv ice
of Gen. Washington, and keep clear OF all
= entangIing foreign alliances and there
fore not send an accredited representative
{" the proposed Congress, yet II would hr
well to hive an unofficial agent on the
spot, who. taking no part IN It's dcllbera-
lions, might yet afford the scheme such
and necessary. 1t would add to the I'M
portancc and power nf the scheme, even to
afford it this lrft-handrd cneouragem ent
and, while our interests dictate strict nru-
trality brtwceo all belliserents, even tho
Russia and Spain should be arrayrd
gainst South America, our pItnctpteS GER
tanly demand slight support Of nations
who are contcndlng for the same great end
that Influenced a Hancock, an Adams, q
jefferson and Washington TO take up
arms.
MURDER We understand that al
late Battalion Muster in Halifax county,
Nj Thomas Boyd was killed in an aliray
by Mr.. Thomas Hughes. The murderer
made his escape, aud, at the last accounts,
was vending his way to the we4t, on the
main stage road, though his pur5uers were
close at his heels. We understand that the
circumstances were Of an aggravated ma
ture, and that great exertions would be
made II apprehcnd Hughes.
-.sOs"-
Paving StreetS.-Il may not be known
to the Citizens Of Lynchbnrg generally,
that, by an Ordinance of the Corporation,
the owners of property on the main street,
from Mr.. Pointers house, to the lower tx
trcmty, are required To pave the side walks
before the 9th day Of .Norsmber. II II be
not then donc, A tax of - GEMS fpnt is
to be paid by them Tor the purpose Of car
~ Ing the Ordinance INTO effect. As the
property owners can, We are told, have the
work executed for a third less sum, il
would be to their interest to attend 10 1t.
