formally that government Which had
broken every engagement overturned the
Whole constitution Of he country and
toas only knODn 6y The evits IL inflicted.
They disowned CHARLES STUART as
their lawful sovereign, "for having
changed the civil government into des-
potism - for his perjury and breach Of
covenant his usurpation and tyranny,
This declaration has been treated as
o~utrageously extravsgsnt; and yet, the
historian reminds US, ait expressed pre-
cisely the same principles which, only
eight years after, were acted upon by a
majority Of the nation, and produced the
glorious revolution" It's effect on the
public mind was ~incslculable; and the
truths which it contained made q very
deep impression, although the number
who in that dark and cloudy season had
the courage to arm and defend them, rem
dered the policy of the proceeding at the
time doubtful, because the hope of sue
cess seemed desperate"
The principal proprietOrs "were more
eager to escape personal danger, than to
stand forward in defence Of public
right 4" and the majority compiled but
the true men refused to do homage to
the ~unprincipled tyranny that desolated
the land" The oppression which un-
sparingly and without distinction,
crushed into one undistinguishable mass
all who would not the faith,
justified "those who uniformly stood
slOof, snd rejected all c~ompromise."
Tkey saw the truth of ARGYLE's re-
mark, singularly applicable to-day, that
III they went along with these men in
part, and did not in all things, they
would suffer that if they went not at all
with them, they could bit suffer"
L" Amid all their suffering, they neuer
despdired Of their cause; AND IN
ITS LOWEST EBB NEVER sHRUNR FROM
AvowING IT." In their greatest ex-
tremity, they adopted, as an expedient
suited to their distressed situation, for en-
couraging and supporting each other, to
send delegates from these societies to a
general meeting, who, although not
clothed with authoritative powers,
should consult and recommend such
measures as they thought most proper to
be pursued, by those who remained Of
one mind respecting their duties as pri-
vate Christians, and their obligations as
members OF the Commonwealth"
Il is, rs we have already said, neither
proper, nor wise, nor necessary, for the
people Of the South to resort to arms.
Nobody counsels it, nobody thinks Of it.
It will be time enough 20 think of that,
when, if ever, all other remedies are ex
hausted, and oppression has become intoI-
cradle. But those who are DISTINGUISHED,
and all who are the vasssls of q military
despotism may in other respects initiate
the constaney Of the Scottish Covenant
ers, unite in order to avail themselves Of
all peaceful means of redress, and daily
and hourly protest against the violations
of that Constitution which the victors
themselves, whose leaders now shame
lessly trample it under foot, have requi-
red them to swear to support, protect and
defend.
The subject grows upon US, and we
postpone it's further consideration until
our next.

To the Editor OF the n. Y. Evening Post:
SIR: Now that the subject of the dis
covery of a new island in the Pacific, to
the westward of San Francisco, is before
the public, any information concerning
that locality must prove Of general in
terest.
Twice during my passages in the Pa
ciic, while in the neighbOrhOOd men,
toned, have passed through ~discOlOred
water, such as usually indicates the vi
ciuity Of q shoaL Thousands of birds
filed the air, and numbers Of seals were
seen alongside the ship, but both times it
was exceedingly foggy, and even had
land been near we could nothave seen it
On q occasion we were several hours
in this white water, and at the same
time going at a high rate Of speed.
Soundings were taken, but without any
| bottom being found.
Ia the old charts an island is laid down
in the neighborhoOd where the newly
discovered island is said to be located.
Capt. James Smith, of New London,
formerly in command of the brig Zoe,
and later Of bark Yankee. has been over
the route between San Francisco and the
Sandwich Islands Oftener han any other
man, and he tells me that in his various
voyages he has passed through this dis
colOTed water perhaps a dozen times. He
felt confident Of the vicinity of land, and
quoted the numerous birds as proof Of
the fact. The birds are similar in species
10 those which breed upon the Farrallone
Islands, off San Francisco. Capt. Smith
also stated that he had invariably met
with foggy and stormy weather in that
neighborhOOd.
Within my own period Of observation
/ several vessels have heen lost ia the Pa
cifie, and never again heard from, and it
may be that this island has brought them
up.
The schooner Friendship left San
Francisco 10 the fall of 1919, bound for
Honolulu, and no news from her ever
became known. Had she experienced
sOUtherly winds on leaving port, she
would have passed neal the locality Of
thB newly discovered island,
The United States slOOp-Of-WaT, Lee
want, left tho Sandwich islands in Sep
TENDER, 1859, bound for Panama. To
get out of the trade in order to take q
northerly slant of wind she would have
to stand well to the northWard, and
thus pass near the locality Of the island
spoken of. This fine ship, with . Grew
Of $50, officers and men, has new since
been heard from.
The schooner Pride of the West left
San Francisco about two yesrs ago,
bound on q Goldfish voyage to the OchOtsk
sea. After an excellent seasons work
she took her departure for home, but has
/ never been heard froL since.
Tit vessels here mentioned may have
been burned at sea or have foundered in
