insignia Of Federalism, and have been worn by
many Of the wing leaders and hence Wig and
Federaiist are synonymous terms! The N. q.

poses the folly Of such reasoning, and shows that
the black cockade was and is the national cock

And every military officer has worn it from that

legged frauds the elective franchise in that city, and
while the characters of those gentleman have been
elevated by the ordeal to which they have been sub
contrivers of the disgusting plot TO ruin them, have
covered themselves with disgrace and infamy
Resolved, That while the plot, thus prematurely
developed shows the character of the means to whch
the Administration resorts in order to retain the seats
from which the People about TO cxpel them the
same plot and its fortunate discovery ought to stimu-
late the Wings throughout the country to ncessant
vigilance in watching and exposing the future at
tempts OF the party in power to resist by similar un-
der currents" the torrent OF the will of the Pcope
On motion, Resoired, That the foregoing resolu-

CURIOUS SCENE IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE
OF COMMONS

One of the most remarkable among the many dis
putes that have arisen classical passages took place
on the floor Of the House of Commons in 1740 and is
described in Coxes Memoirs of Sir Robert WalpoIe.
1t appears that Sir Robert, then prime minister, being
threatened with articles of impeachment for corrupt
practces declared "that he conscious of any
crime to deserve accusation" He laid his hand on
his breast, and quoted with some emotion, the line
" Nil conscire sibi null pallcscere cup@."
"Mr. Pulteney observed, that the Right Honorable
Gentlcmans Latin and logic were equally inaccurate,
as Horace had written 'nulla pallescere culpa The
minister defended his quotation; and Puteney re-
peating his assertions, he offered wager Of guinea
Pueney accepted the challenge, and referred the de-
csion OF the dispute to the minister's friend, Nicholas
Hardingc, Clerk of the House, man distinguished
for classical erudton. Hardinge decided against
Walpole; the guinea Immediately thrown to Pull
teney, who caught it, and holding it up to the House.
