To Commander A. S. lEcKen=ie:
Sir-Your commercial and maritime coun.
trymen have duty TO perform 10 you, in
relation 10 your suppressing the mutiny on
board of the U. S. brig Somers. Your con.
duct has been submitted to your superiors
in the naval service, and has been approved
You have been tried by your equals and
acquitted with honor. That acquittal, thro'
its highest functionaries, has been approved
! by your country.
tits now becoming in your countrymen 10
unite their voice with these public decisions.
and to insure you of their sympathy and ap
proval.
| A mutiny in national ship is itself a
heavy public calamity, full of danger, imme
date and remote, TO the best interests d
your country. The turning of your ship in.
to sea-royer would have made the entire
ocean a scene of outrage, rapine and mut.
ders. The land, also, would have rung with
cries off distress.
That such mutiny should have been or
ganlzed by an officer, who had every advan.
| tage Of connections, education and talents
to seduce the common sailor and to carry
into effect his farther purposes. was giving &c
the danger form the most urgent and ap
palIing.
i The weakness Of your defence, the i'm
mature age, and unsubdued, youthful, Teck
less passions Of your crew; the certainty
that TO punish the ringleader would expose
you to the utmost hostility Of bis friends, ~
cry way powerful, and that the inconsiderate
pity of many might enbedy formidable OBJ
lpOsition against you, all rendered the neces
sary discipline and punishment full OF peri
to yourself. But last and chiefest, the hor
rOr Of an officer being obliged to execute
without the ordinary forms of the Justice O
his country, brother officer and two of hi
crew, made your position painful and diff
cult without aparallel. Under such circurn
stances, you carried into effect the authori
~ Of your ship, restored its discipline, save,
the honor Of our Navy, the commerce 3
your country, and the lives Of your associ
ates, and rescued countless numbers from
every form Of outrage and death. By deci
t sion, energy and lofty courage, putting a
risk your fame, honor and life, you met sue
dangers.
You have thus entitled yourself to on
warmest thanks aud highest praise. TIL
fearful example will not be without It's 81
feet. LaWless rufians viii not dare to seeI
in the naval service the means Of consnm
mating their crimes. Your brother officer

Attention the wings.

Let the SECOND MONDAY Of this month be
held in remembrance. Let the delegates to
the Convention be up and doing. Surely this
is an important period, and one that calls
loudly upon the patriot for prompt and Wig
illsnt action. Let every delegate be there,
and let not a county in the State be unreP-
resented.

not dared 70 resurreetiss dishonorsd carcass.
Then, the gold and silver humbug Of Mr..
Benton il the only one left on the callander
of experiments. The fofetaste the people
are now receiving Of this serfe- making mea-
sure is not likely to give them relish fort.
What remedy for existing evils have shey
now TO propose! Literally none. How trans
parent, then, is the cause of their evasion OF
this great question.
From these facts the plainconclusion comes
that the Wing party are in favor of restor-
ing an institution, which was approved by
Washington and Madison, under similar cir
cumstances,a and which experience has shown
to be safe and expedient; and that the loco
foco party, by proposing nothing, proclaim
that they will leave the country, without
remedy, in the evils which overwhelm it. L
is, therefore, too plain to require further de-
monstration, that every individual who casts
his vote for the leaders Of the Anti Bank, ex
ercises his influence TO perpetuate the pre-
sent state of things. This is a subject which
should be deeply Pondered. All have feH
and all should understand the difference.
