TO THE rplrons OF rnn wArcna4s.

IN your paper OF the 18th ut. you have published
an extract of most excellent character, from
Rhode Island paper-on the subject and value OF
Integrity OF Heart"-a most precious virtue truly;
and it has had the effect TO induce me to examine
myself pretty closely that point, and to wish that
its influence could be extended so widely as to EN-
brace us all. And although great advantages would
result from The indiuiauut attainment OF this pre-
cious christian virtue, yet il it possible to in
duce those who stand in conspicuous stations, to-
practice it, with full determination not to be led
away by either interest passion, great benefits
would result from such public examples but
when The contrary is the case, and men in high
stations show by their conduct, that they not only
want this principle of Integrity OF Heart" but
that they utterly disregard correct principles, has
direc, tendency carry the indifference TO right
things, further than where single and isolated in
dlsdual is guilty OF wrong aet--as the latter may
acl from momentary passion or forgetiulness. The
case is very different, indeed, with public man
and public measures where time is given tor deb-
Grafton, and where the sanctity OF an oath and the
responsibility to constituents s not sufficient TO pre-
vent the disregard prcsraon Of the most evident
principles OF right and of humanity. Where Le-
gsators are thus disposed TO set at naught their
responsibility to God, and due respect to their
constituents, it becomes powerful call upon those
constituents never again to trust them with another
opportunity TO sink themselves deeper under Divine
responsibility, or to betray the truss that they owe
10 their fellow citizens
In these observations it will be readily perceived
that have in view the conduct OF such our Legisls
tors who at the last session suffered themselves be
seduced by the Maryland delegation to vote for Law
that is disgracetul to who pretend TO be reemen
and lovers Of freedom, and Christians On this point,
however, ! shall say more at present, as hope
4 that my fellow citizens will keep this matter in
mind, and be very cautious in future how they trust
chose men on any point, as it must be evident to
every man who coolly considers the subject that j!
SO many and such great blessings arise from " In
tsgrty of Heart, that total disregard of that vir
tue is evidence that he who wants IT. is unfit to
stand in conspicuous stations to represent Chris
tan community, where real "Integrity OF Heart''
would be productive OF so many solid blessings.
But where Legislators thus attempt to PROSTATE
me character of the community, it becomes needtul
ior that community to build up with an energy su
/ pesor to that exercised to destroy; and hence
have had hope that the friends OF freedom would
make this starting point, whence TO increase

NAIL KOBBERY.-By postscript, from the
New York Mercantile Advertiser, we have further
accounts, by which it appears, that the great south
ern mail which left New York the ttoenty seuenth
ult has been robbed to an extent not yet ascertain
ed.
A letter from Mr.. Chester Baily, the Agent, da
ted at Philadelphia, Sd inst. states as follows: " You
will probably hear through different channels of an
extensive robbery of the Mail, between this city and
Washington 1t is stated by an agent OF the Gene
raj Post Office, that the mail which arrived al lash
ington on the first inst. had all the appearance of
safety, but on opening it, the canvass bag, contain
ing all the great mail from the East, had been cut
nearly from end to end, and the whole Mail from
Philadelphia and the East was gone. On the 28th
Mr.. Allen, broker, deposited considerable amount
of Southern notes in the Post Office of this city
on the following MOI ming, between 10 and half past
10 O'Clock, some OF the notes were sold in our
market.
Information of The above robbery reached New
York on FRIDAY morning, and list Of the notes de-
posted in the Post Office at Philadelphia by Messrs
S. x M. Allen, was LETT with the Brokers here
About IL clock the same day soe of the identi
cal notes were offered at the Office Of Mr.. H.
Neyins for exchange, by well dressed young man
about 90 years old, who calls his name Nichols He
was Immediately arrested and after underg DING an
examination, committed to Brideweli On his way
TO the Police Office, he made several desperate at
tempts to escape. A loaded pistol, and TWO knives
or di;ks were iound on his person.
We have reason to fear, that the amount lost will
be very great as we have heard Of several valuable
remittances in the mail of that day.
