WHERE SENT.

The thanks of this House are no longer
accessible TO his ears; but TO his bereayed
and respected family a resolution of Congress
attesting the grateful sense with which they
receive this bequest, may carry soothing con-
ISOLATION to their bosorns, and, we may humbly
hope, Joy even to him in the mansions of a bet
ter world.
In the presentation ofthe sword ofGeorge
Washington to the last Congress, a profound
and sublime lesson of national and individu-
al morality, associated with pure and lofty
patriotism, was conveyed to his countrymen
of this and of all after ages. 1t will be recol-
lected that in bequeathing his swords to his
~nephews, the Christian hero had enioined
upon them never to unsheath them for the
purpose of shedding blood, except for selfde-
fence, or in defence of their country and its
rights; and in the latter case, TO keep them
unsheathed and fall with them in their hanas
rather than %relinquish them.
The use aud vocation OF the sword is to
shed blood. Far different is the use of the
implements now offeredto the acceptance of
Congress. The sword is the instrument of
destruction. These are implements useful
or necessary to supply the wants of physical
nature and forthe preservation ofhuman lite.
These are also useful for dispensing to 9TH
ers the good Offices of humanity, the con-
vivial pleasures of friendship, and the sacred
rites of hospitality. To all these purposes
that identical chest and its contents have
contributed in times that tried the souls Of
men, and women too. | send to the Clerk
a letter, which | request him to read with a
voice that all may hear.
The Clerk read as follows:
WEST POINT, August Is, 1779.
DEAR DocToR: | have asked Mrs. Coch
ran and Mrs. Livingston to dine with me to
morrow, but ought | not apprize them ofthei
fare? AS hate deception, even where the
imagination only is concerned l will.
1t is needless to promise that my table il
large enough to hold the ladies, of this the
had ocular proofye sterday. To say how i
is usuallycoveredi is rather more essential, AN,
this shall be the purport of my letter.
Since our arrival in this happy spot w
; have had a ham sometimes a s~houlder) @
bacon 10 grace the head of the table, a pee,
of roast beefadorns the foot, and a small dis
l ofgreen beans (almost imperceptible) dec
OAotOo- t4O CCAllCs UliCu TIC COOk DdS
I mind TO cut a figure, (and this, | presume
he will attempt to-morrow) We have tw
d beefsteak pies, or. dishes of crabs, in add
j ton, one on each side the centre dish, diviC
ing the space and reducing the distance be
tween dish and dish to about six fleet, whicl
without them, would be near twelve apart
Of late, he had the surpsing luck to disco,
: : er that apples will make pies, and it's
l question if, amidst the violence o fhis efforts
0 we do not get n of apples instead of ha'
ing both of beef.
If the ladies can put up withsu ente
y tainment, and will submit to partake of it G
plates, once tin, but now iron, mot become
by the labor of scouring0 shall be happy

against proiectioc tariff; as the success OF
the British Free Trade party; and as aeon
sequence, American interests, and Amerl-
can labor must be put down, to crafty an
overgrown foreign monopoly, The die IS
cast--and if the party opposed to us carry,
out their avowed principles, the beauties OF
their creed will be fully exempIliied to all.
But we venture to predict that while they
will keep the country in constant agitation
they will settle nothing, they will iall eVea
to remedy those defectsin the present tariff
that operate, in their view, so injuriously
to the poor, they will forget their promises
and endeavOr to raise new issues; new
catch-words to gull still further the people.
In the meantime. manufacturers who
place Just estimate upon loco honesty,
will feel constrained to curtail their huSi-
ness. and so shape their course as 10 save
something from the general RUN, II so he
they are compelled to give up to the ioreign
manufacturer, 80
The greatest sufferers in the end, will
be the farmer and laborer. Many OF the
former have, during the present season,
grestly increased their Aocks, with the ex-
pectation Of realizing a fair return from
their investment The increased price for
wool must depend upon the confidence Of
the purchasers in stable policy. and as
that article has already fallen five cents
per pound in the eastern market, since the
election, we suppose there is great want OF
confidence among consumers. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that that confidence
will diminish as the time approaches Tor
the new administration 10 assume the relgns
of government. As it is with wool, so it
will be with other products; and we ieel
called upon to inform our readers that the
tendency Of things is doaCmcardS, in order
that they may be prepared to meet the
worst. We have been informed that in
some of the manufacturing towns panic
has seized our opponents as well as our
friends, they see, now that the mischief is
done, that the tendency of their action has
been to rob themselves, their wives and
children of bread, and merely for the pur
pose Of supporting spurious democracy.
For such men We have no sympathy, and Il
they suffer it will be a justretrjbntion.
The destructive dynasty will reign tri-
umphant, and our most icrvent aspiration
is, that they will carry out, to their fullest
extent, the doctrines they have avowed
on the stump, here in Ohio; believing as
we do, that to be fully known, locoiocoism
must be .JeH -,
