These tiAg5 have b,,n pare icuat,P bfouu,t lu tho
notice of The W tier 1t Is time. in conscuueucc of
article which appeared IN tie Enquirer of The 18th
iustant, under the head of Eclipse" In this article
the editor INDUCES in croaks and groas against the
general government, because there has been no
light house crested on the coast which might answer
observatory, &c; and calls TO our recollection
the fact that Mr. Jefferson had caused $50 200 to be
expended appa for the purpose: the Ennui-
~ no. cd b,, L,,
the salary OF general astronomer, &c The writer
would have been much gratItied have seen My:
Richie whilst his pen was nJlting this artcle-one
Single sound OF LIGHT HOUSE THE SKIES" would
probably have caused his mind to have sunk and his
pen TO have dropped. Who is it that does hbt re-
member the language of Mr. Richie towards Nix;
Adams, after the first message Of the latter to
Congress- Mr.. Adams brings this subject fairly and
fully before Congress that message; for VIII ch The
consistent Mr.. Richie ceased To den ounce md
abuse him. until his removal from Office Light houses
an The Skies the motto Of the ENQUIRER for lonr
time and took the place of Uerie peuy and tins
for the purpose of rdlcuin9 Mr. Adams, winch he
knew would have its effect upon the ignorant par of
our voters; the trick took effect, and now what do
see? Why this same Mr.. Richie is no,o engaged
in dcnouncing those, who have caused Mr. Jefcrson's
apparatus TO lie useless long; he abused Mr.
Adams for cndeavOuring to cause TINS apparatus 10
be used, according TO Mr.. Jefferson's plan, and de
sire; and having convinced the people that il ouGhr
not to be used, and for attempting which, they turn
cd out Mr. Adams; he has turned around, and
commenced system OF abuse against those who
have not caused observatory 10 be erected ac-
cOrding TO Dir. jeff rscn's Plan If Gen Jackson
would build dozen lighthouses in HE skies, MIR
Richie would applaud the whole IN unmeasurcd Ian
guage. The Enquirer seems to have been establish
ed monument OF human ucpTuvuy odd human
ENTHUSIASTICALLY in HIM who conducts II; weak
IN those who give 1t confidence. IfthCre ever
paper IN any country which had viciousy
sported with the people, II is this same r edmond
Enquirer How long it wall be before Virginia VIII
her ancient wisdom and virtue, must DC l., {:
10 the development of time-how long the people
will suffer themselves to BE- deceived and misguided
by such paper and such ed tor, is not for the
writer to say; but surely, there be not
Of that intelligence, virtue and wisdom which was
possessed by fathers, the time be- tar dis
tant, when such paper as the Richmond Enquirer
must cease tn nave influence.
Very recently the same editor whilst writing all

The editor might well have finished the sen
