The incendiary Garrison is too insignificant
to raise disturbance in the North;-they could
not prevail upon the people in Boston to take
the trouble to tar and feather the wretch who is
mean enough to abuse his country abroad, and
base enough to attempt her destruction at home,
by propaga,ing lalsehoods and calumnies.

1t is more than probable that recent move
meuts in some Of the states will eventuate in
breaking up the practice Of converting Peniten-
,aries into opposition shops to honest Mechanics.
The practice of employing eonvicts in the me-
chanic arts aud selling their work at an under
price, is unjust in the highest degree. Mocha
MICS deserve the encouragement rather than the
oppression Of government. Success to the no.
