THE SIX MILITIA MEN.

Nothing places the execution OF these untor-
'unate men in a stronger Light, than the simple
fact that Mr. Baldwin, after searching the whole
history Of our rev olutiorary war Of eight years,
could find no case TO compare with il except
that of the regular soldier executed by order OF
General Washington.
Between these cases there is not the most
distant resemblance. The six militia men had
served out the three months which the law re-
quired, and we're told by their officers that they
we're not bound 10 serve longer.
The man executed in 1879 was a regular
soldier, and had not served out his time.
The six militia men returned to their families
and homes. The man executed in l779 was
one Of the three men who, in the words Of MIR
Baldwin's handbil', acknowledged "that they
frere gong 10 make their fortunes BY joining fhe
British"
TIE six militia men had returned their arms TO
The proper officers, md taken NJ, Their receipts.
The man executed in l779, in The words OF
Mr. Baldwin's circular, ,oas Conveying his "arms
ammunition and eg'Gpmenis,' 10 lie emmy
The six miIitiamcn did not become our enc
mics BY their dcserton.
The man executed in l779 ,cas realy one e
orr worst and most dangerous enemies. He
was about 10 reduce the number of our troops,
and TO increase that of the enemy-he was a.
bou, to reduce our "arms, ammunition and
equipments. to increase the arms, ammunition
and equipments Of The enemy-& was TO snake
his fortune" by conveying intelligence to the
British
In 1916 the six militia men were sentenced
to be executed, and were all executed, by order
Of General Jackson.
In l77e, three men were taken going to join
the eremy. carving their "arms, ammunition,
equipments" and intelligence with them
were all equally guilty, but only one was execut-
ed
The six militia men were executed in obedi,
encc to General Jackson's order, dated two
weeks after The glorious victory of New Or,
leans. and four weeks after the treaty Of peace
had been signed.
In l77e, abou, the time this one man was
executed, to use the language OF Mr.. Baldwin
hand bills, "discontent began 10 manifest i'seii
in the ranks, deser,ion followed, and soon in
creased to such an extent as 10 threaten dis
solution Of the army" u.

Of Newcastle and Sussex, for the purpose OF Sc

of the conferees chosen was in favor OF the Gen

pear to have acted upon any principle OF rigid

Of fifty to make out a county ticket, by common
consent, they placed some Jackson men upon

1t is likewise stated that fve-sixths of the
persons at the meeting were favorable to the

this worthy man, in the prime oflife, possessed
of an affectionate wife and two young children,
who depended upon him for their support, was,

One of Duff Green's Kentucky corresPon-
dents asserts that he heard General Hdar say
@Ir THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATIONS WERE NOT PUT
DOWN, he ,cas of opinion, SERIOUS CoNSE-
OUENCES WOULD FOLLOW!!! This
corresponds with the declaration made oy
South Carolina dcmagogue, that The "ooens
Bill must be defeated, or the Southern people
mus, STAND BY THEIR ARMS. Fine
subjects these for the second section"
Duff. Green, pretends to have received, sun
dry letters from which he publishes extracts,
asserting in the most positive manner, that
Jackson will get t,co votes in Maine, and per
hans 6ve-all in New Hainpshire-all in New
Jersey-alli in Kentucky-allin Ohio-and all
in Louisiana. Such brazen-faced impudenee,
disgusts the intelligent portion OF the people;
hut there are many to be found who really be-
leave such lies, and consequently bet that the
Hero will be elected. Ask them ifbe is fit
they will Tell you, "no but he is the man OF the
people, AMI we will vote for the man that The
people want" Thus the people in one state,
are gulled by being told that the people in the
other states, are all for JAG kson; and hence Mr..
Buchanan's "HoPE that nothing may occar to
MARI the Hero's prospect in Pennsylvania, as n
doubt about The roie flint state might hare q Sc
yious effect against him throughout the United
SiaIes.' OF all the votes claimed as above,
there is not a remote probability that Jackson
will get single one.

The MARRIED. sTATE.
Amanda proceeded on the married
state, thus Marriage is without doubt
state OF the sincerest human happi
ness, as it is hes. fitted for the most
exalted friendship, in all other circum-
stances interfering interests, prevent
the possibility of so firm a union, as
here, where the interests ef both parties
must be the same. One would wonder
then, that so few in it can boast of true
felicity; but this is owing very much to
the fallacious forms oil courtship, and
the strange alteration which follows so
soon as the lover commences husband
and the mistress is made wife. Imme-
diately the subject becomes the sovereign,
and uneasiness must always happen
from such sudden change of govern
ment The mask both sides wore is u
sual!y thrown off too soon; then care to
please abates, love grows cold, sickens,
languishes and dies perhaps at last, and
then adieu TO happiness. But every
couple should RENE mber that from the
day their hands are joined, their wretch
edness or their felicity is entirely de-
pendant upon each other, and, Love,
which before perhaps was only passion,
becomes the highest act Of reason from
that time.
There cannot be more fatal error,
than the common one, of.believing that
all pains OF pleasing are now needless,
on the contrary to be obliged by, and to
oblige each other, ought to be their
mutual and constant inclination. Their
behaviour should always be coniorma-
BILE to good nature and good manners.
