resolved upon against the squirrel ,yibe--a
bloody war Of determination. The Conpa

Lieutenant. the members Of each detach,
ment were to use their own discretion in car

They had been thus occupied 20 minutes, fperhaps longer. for Irish watches and certain peo- pie lose half an hour in that time,) when a conversation arising between two geHtle- men, who had just entered, respecting the identity of the small foot that was batting the floor violently within the curtain, they fell to tossing over the gloves again, and se- lecting a pair hastily, the lady took the gentIeman's arm and left the shop.

We have published to-day the
speech of Mr.. Burgess, in support oi
the motion of Mr.. Stanberry, Of Ohio,
to strike out the appropriation for a
minister to Russia. This motion has
duorded a fair opportunity to the men,

views are adverse to those of the ad-

ponents, in reply to their reviIings of
the latc Executive for corruption aud
extravaganza. Our representative NC

Secretary of State, and the insincerity

form. And ne has done it ably and

Professor Stuart, Of Andover, has
published pamphlet in which he un-
dertakes to show that distilling ardent
spirits is inconsistent with the ci,arac-
ter Of a Christian. We should like
right well to see this production. Rum,
gin, brandy, &c. are all useful, and
are rendered injurious only by improp-
or application. For their misuse and
abuse the distiller is no more to blame
than the ropc-mnkcr is for the act Of
the suicide, who hangs himself with
the hemp that has been manufactured
into cordage.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1831-02-03

A writer in the N. Y. Journal OF
Commerce thinks that there should be
a department established for the relief
of honest, but unfortunate debtors.
Many who have greatly contributed to
the revenue, have been deprived by
misfortune ofihe means of discharging
the obligations they are under TO the
government. Besides,it is said, many
of them have large amounts Of proper
ty which they would relinquish, if by
doing so they could obtain discharges
and that by this course some millions
would be realised by the government.
which would otherwise never Inc OBJ
tanned.
These are certainly considerations
which ought to have some weight with
the administration, and for which some
remedy should be suggested to Con.
gress. No cla IS Of men is more de-
serving Of Liberal treatment from the
government than those whose enter
prise and industry have sweiled the
public revenue, and whose misfortunes
alone have paralyzed their CONNER
9ial efforts, and their ability entirely
10 discharge their obligations.
