between TWO and three miles from Brdgeton
was entered by white man and two negroes

his Wife and daughter, had retired to rest
The ruiiins procured a light in the kitchen
and proceeded, as they supposed to tho

ed that Of his daughter She was excessively
ailaaed, ans! screamed out, when one Of the
fellows seized her, and compelled her to be
silent. Mrs W heard the noise and awak-
cnad her husband. On going ont of his
room, he perceived the light, and supposing
that the house was on fire, went to the door
and cried out fire, when he saw a man with
an axe raised, who threatened if he made the
least noise to cut him down. He Immediately
retired, closing the door after him and pulled
in the string by which the door could be
opened from the outside. He then threw
himself head-foremost, out OF small win
dow, and ran to alarm his neighbours. The
Williams bursting open the door, one Of them
remarked that the old man was gone and they
must be of. They accordingly left the
house, taking with them nothing but small
time piece, worth but few dclars; and
proceeded III their Wagon to the Hotel at
Bridgeton, where they had their horse put
up and retired to rest. Some snow having
fallen in the course Of the evening, the neigh
bors when they collected, found no difficulty
it tracing them to Bridgcton, where they
were arrested. 1t appears, that induced by

from the slow operations of centuries OF
misrule. They even took delight in foster
ing and encouraging these prejudices, know
ing them to be such q species of wiltul self
deluson, which altho' indefensible in parti-
cular instances, may, nevcrth less, in the
long-run, contribute essentially to the great
cause of their country. The spirit which
originally reused the South Americans to
throw off the Spanish yoke is kept alive and
active by such antipathics, and the people
are thus prevented by their passions, us well
as their interests, from siumbeiing at their
posts, while their liberty and honor arc still in
hazard.

Thunder had much injured the point of the
