the same work was first published in London, in

The typography of this volume is very neat; and
its arrangement into books, chapters, full table of
contents, an analytical and chronological table,
copious index, and marginal dates is excellent
Perhaps at this day. il superfuous TO speak of
Roman History, a subject that few are unacquainted
with but we can say this of the present volume that
the style is nervous, simple and polished; that the
narrative is impartial; the reflections JUST and that
the volume itself comes most OPPORTUNITY at the pre-
sent crisis furnishing the American Republic every
thing for WARNING, but nothing for IMITATION.
As specimen both Of style and admontion, We
will present the very first paragraph that the eye fell
upon when we opened the volume.
The main transaction, however at the conference
Of the three leaders was not SO much the settlement
of the conditions of their union, which were made
public Immediately afterwards, as TO concert the
manner OF commencing hostililies against the Re-
PUBLICAN PARTY. A reconciliation was impossible,
as had long been clearly seen BY the young OctaviuS,
whose early cunning, by which he was taught never.
to commit any unnecessary crime nor to shrink from
any which seemed necessary, is an extraordinary
phenomenon in history. Extensive con6scations by
this time indispensable, TO defray the expenses Of
wars, as well as to enrich the soldiery. Exrpaton,
BESIDES the only way of getting rid Of enemies,
and Of many cowardly, welk, ambiguous friends.
II was therefore resolved to annihiate the whole
arstocratical party by prescription in the manner
of Sylla; and lists agreed upon by those whose
lives were to be sacrificed or whose property iras TO
undergo coafseation. In all this the advanced age
and rapacity of Lepidus, whom Antony termed in
derison father, played part in the last degree des-
picable. Hisname, and whatever influence had been
b.queathed him by Caesar, were made use of; he
was allowed to share the odum of the crimes of his

have enyied awaited the issue Of the approaching
conflict To suit his measures to circn instances

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.

From an article in the Harrisburg Integencer, sab-
scribcd old Merchant, make the following ex-
tract which is worthy Of the attention of every one
Honest debts are sacred, and ought TO be so held
once debt always debt, until paid, is the maxim Of
the law, the maxim OF cve;y honest heart and every
honest, upright will pay his debts, and manage his
for the best advantage to fulfil his engagements
Under present circumstances, 1t is PLAIN that many can
not promptly pay their debts time, much tme must
be given; patience and forbcarance exercised. Let
creditors act wisely, and prudently not Cypress, but
take pay as fast as their debtors prudenty give it,
in large or small sums let them not act the part Of
Shj lolks-dcmand immediate payment, or pound OF
their flesh but rather cheer and encourage the honest
and pcrseverng, creditor who, like Lawrence has re-
solved never to give up the ship Thus, by being
"kiudly alectonatc to another, mutual confidence
and indulgence, great good can he done, and many
debtors be able to pay every dollar, and save some pro-
perry for their families who, if pshcd would be
unable to pay half one-our,h OF What they owe
is better for creditors be patient da By painfy al
tempting 10 sceare immediate payments destroy INC
rcry means bY trhich their future accomplishment ,rod
be certain We have before such times, and have
known much good to result to the suffering classes by
ersous who pursued the humane, wise prudent COURSE
and kindly indulgcd and aided the honest debtors aud
misery and ruin by the opposite course, and that often
times both parties for, In the wise administration oil a
kind and just Providence the uneeng creditor is, by a
change Of circumstances, made to feel all the sorrows
woes and dlstresses, ms own heartess cohdnct mas
broaght on others he who shows no mercy to others
cannot expect others TO show it 10 him.
We say then to ALL perscvcre, aud do all that honest
mon 10 pay your debts. Gather all your means,
and pay of to all fast you can aid one another
let the kind feelings OF your nature be brought INTO re.
QUESTION let all pursue honest and honorable course
Great and pcrscymg efforts lead to great results; We
have seen the honest, Industrious, and cnrcrprisng
brought to the lowest stages OF human woo, but they
resolved 10 pcrscvere, and IN most cases have over
come their inisfortunes. Many who in po-
yertys vale, are nov enjoying the choicest blessing

Prospect Of War on our Frontier.--We have con
verscd with gentleman just arrived IN the city from

him. that great excitement was prevailing amongst the
citizens Of that quarter who expecting attack
from the Usage Indians They had sent several threat

having stolen several hogs ad cattle and reports say
some negroes Application had been made to the
Governor for troops, and instructions had been issued by
the Secretary Of State, (he Governor being absent at
the time the application made) to General Lucas
to raise Instantly six hundred from his division ,
which, we believe consists Of Jackson La Faycte and
Van Buren, counties The militia of the several conn-
ties were to meet on Saturday last to raise the number
Of troops ordered by the commander Of the DIVISION
We are also informed that General Atkinson had al, III
teryicw with the Governor on this subject and It IS
probable that the condition Of affairs in that quarter will
require the immediate personal attention OF himself or
