BETTER late thnn nerer.--About the time that
Morgan was taken from Batavia, it was stated that
several attempts were made by the freemasons to
burn the printing office of Miller, who was to be
Morgan's publisher. A reward of one hundred
dollars is offered by some individuals Of Batavia
(among whose names are those of Sheriff Thomp-
son, Surrogate Mix. &c.) for the discovery Of the
persons who attempted the outrage. One of the
Batavia papers has insinuated that this ncendiary
business was all sham--that Mler's office was
surrounded by houses of freemasons, which must
inevitably have been burnt with the office. We
think it would have been singular if the masons
had burnt themselves up in their rage. But this
is queer business, and it seems to be safest not
to believe any thing.

Trays q .Weans-It is known to the public, that
hundreds OF dollars raised By private contribution,
besides the $500 given BY Gen. Eaton, were en-
ployed BY the advocates Of Gen. Jackson for the
presidency, to aid the editor of the late Columbian
Observer, in Philadelphia, in furiously assaing
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Clay, Mr. Crawford, and their
friends and in yillfyng their characters, because
they stood in the way Of, or would not fall down

thousand dollars are also well understood to have

secrets OF his party that they must succeed as they
had fund of S50.O0O, which they intended to EN-
ploy in establishing presses in the several states,
which were to be employed in writing down the
administration, and argued from this, that Mr. Ad-
ans could not be reelected. Attempts have been
made, we are well assured, to purchase two other
presses, that are now established or to employ their
editors in slandering the administration under the
promises Of large supplies and liberal support; but
happily without effects the editors of those papers

Colonial Trade Bill.-Our readers will remem-
bcr that at an early period Of the Session, bills
were reported in each House. by the appropriate
Committees, on the subject of our trade with the
English Colonies. These bills were essentially
the same. That in the senate was explained in a
sensible and able speech by Mr. Johnson, the Chair
man of the Committee which had reported it. As
far as we could observe, the explanation was sat
istactory and the bill generally approved by the
country. When the discussion came on, however,
Mr.. Smith, Of Maryland, moved to strike out the
whole bill. This motion was supported by the
votes Of the Opposition, as any motion will be which
promises to thwart or cmbarrass the measures of
Government. The motion prevailed and the new
bill, thus amended by Mr.. Smith. passed the SEN
ate, and sent to the House Representatives.
TO large majority of that House, this bill
acceptable; but the session was far advanced, and
it thought extremely desirable that some act of
legislation should be adopted. The House, there
fore, laid aside its own BILL took up that oithe SEN
ate, proposed an amendment, which was consider
ed as indispensable, and thus amended, passed the
Senate bill. The Senate declined acceding to
this amendment: and. as the House adhered to it.
the Senate with the full concurrence Of Mr. Smith.
chose rather to lose the bill altogether, than to a.
gree to the amendment of the House. The bill,
therefore, was ultimately lost in the Senate.
From publication of General Smith in Balti-
more paper, IL now appears, DIS We thinA. peyonu
doubt or contradiction, that he did not understand
the operation of his own measure. We have en-
tertained, habitually, great respect for General
Smith, as merchant of extensive information, and
member of Congress of high standing. We were
pleased at his recent eelection to the Senate 81
considering him as gentleman whose feelings were
candid, if not friendly, towards the Administration.
But must be permitted to say, that, on the sub
ject of the Colonial trade, he has, as we think,
subjected himself to very heavy responsibility
IF evil should ensue from what has been done, or
from what the Executive Government, in the ex-
isting state of law, may feel itself bound by indies
pensabe duty to do, it is not necessary for to say
after what we have here observed, what individual.
in our humble judgment, will be answerable. more
than any other, for that evil. Journal.
