In the midst of the coldness and intense selfishness, which excuses itself by the sophistry found in the following sentence, "Charity begins at home," it is gratifying occasionly to find one whose heart rejects these promptings of selfish nature, and in the artfulness and sincerity of youth, acta upon a noble impulse, high souled, generous and touching. An incident was yesterday related to us by a physician in this city which has so much of the beautiful self-sacrificing about it, that wo cannot refrain from making a note of it. An orphan child, a little girl, was left upon the charity of a family in this city during the epidemic now prevail inrr Sho was entirelv denendent. a ; lonely penniless orphan. 9 The family, upon whose care accident threw her, feared their inability to tako care of J her, already having their hands full'of j the sick in their own household what could they do for her? how could they dispose with her, to have the proper atteniton shown? were questions which were discussed by tho heads of the family. After somo consultation, it was agreed and determined to place her under the care of tho Howards. When this determination was made known to tho child, the daughter of the family, and the little orphan was about to be sent away, tho daughter , enma with streamin-eves to herW er, pleading with him that her little ! companion might not bo sent away. "r ather don t send, her away from j tu. x wm stay wim ucr unu nursu her if sho gets sick I irlay be an orphan, too, soon and I would not like to have my little sister turned away." It is needless to say her pleadin most eloquent in its simplicity and sincerity, prevailed, and that this littlo anfel is now the guardian and nurso of er orphan campanion. When such incidents como within our observation, they make tho hcatt glad, even though a child be the parly. We feel that all is not selfishness that there are natural and noblo impulses in the heart with traits of character which are more than lovely, and which approximate that holy charit which belongs to angels. Texan Firnes Ä3TThe Rev. Antoinette L. Brown has resigned tho pastoral charge of the Orthodox Congregational Society in South Butler, aync county, N. Y. with a view to the improvement of her health. Sho will continue, however, to preach and lecture as hitherto. Her residence is with her father, at! Henrietta, Monroe county, N.

The world has no few specimen of men who dare to do right, or what seems to them right, regardless of the clamors of others, that they are worthy of being held in high esteem. For our part we lore the man who is ready and willing to stem opposition, if need ba, to 6ecure noble ends. But such MTW M men are rare, there is a species of cowardice, even among great men, that makes them afraid of opposition. rllicy want to q prudent. The first m f I Question thev ask IS ! "18 ltDOTJUlsr Better ask; "Is it right?" We like the answer of Greely to those who counselled him to be prudent in his-op position to certain schemes and measures. Ho says: It micrht have been more Drudent to hare propitiated than provoked this powerful organization, but T112 Trujcote is not a prudent paper. ( Wnateycrof reijutatioa or position'it has at tained has been by daring to do what the politic and world-wise have left undone. We arc not likely to change in this respect. Those who so urgently counsel us to bend to the storm and let it pass harmlessly over our head seem to forget that the Tribune is destined to live after many more parties and secret societies shall have risen, flourished and passed away ; and that we can live by other than Editorial labor whenever this refuses us a livelihood. To conduct a journal in which the whole truth was not to be spoken only popular and already accepted truth would be a harder task, a more pitiable lot, to us than to labor from dawn to dark in friendly relations with some richer man's wood-pile. We can do better. Such is th language of a true man, and such a man will live and speak long after his body is dead. Even when a man is wrong, as Greely sometimes b, we love to see him firm and fearless. It is this independence that has made the Tribune what it is. It was this samo spirit that gave the American its popularity under its former editor, and we attribute the inciease of our circulation,) even while the most bitter proscription has raged i t . r .V- j -fit. ,ÜUÜ Uluah oi "iu wi.ar47 Powr have not onlJ discontinued, buthavo got others to do the same, to ur desire to carry out tho same spirit of independence.

The decison was maide by Judge Drummond, and is said to be supported by Judxe McLean. Query. If a free negro is not citi zen enough to bring a suit, is a slave? AJIERICAiTS ICTLLTTD AT THE ELECTION We have not, heretofore, published any acount of the riot at Williamsburgh, on the day of election, as the statements were contrarctory. The following is reliable. The main riot occurred early in the morning at the poll of 1st District, fourteenth Ward, in consequence of an attempt to arrestja man who was chal lenged, and refused to swearjin his vote. Another disturbance occurred at noon at the same poll, from Vimilar causes, when the man who had challenged the obnoxious votes was set upon and severely beaten. The assailants were evidently all Irishmen. The Deputy-Sheriffs at once interfered and then the Irishmen got hoes,clubs, barrels staves and other weapons, and in the course of the fight a large number of persons were badly beaten, some of whom have since died of their wounds. The first onset was upon n Mr. Silkworth, the challenger who had incurred the displeasure of the rioting party by objecting to somo of their votes. In reply to the question if he was a voter, one of the rioters cried, "Down with the"d d hcrclics,"Band they assisted to drag Silkworth out of the room. It is also testified that the Irishmen armed themselves bytcaring down fences and splitting the boards for clubs. Various incendiary expressions wcro used by tho assailants, such as saying that they would like to "spill the blood of tho "Protestants and d d Know-Nothings." Itialso said that tho women in tho house next to the pull threw stones from the window upon tho crowd, and clubs for tho rioters to Gght with. Some on both sides wcro armed with pistols, but there was little or uo firing. According to the evidence, one fo the Aldermen (Linsky) appears to have been interested on tho side of tho rioters, say ing that ho did not think the Deputy Sheriffs had a right to arrest any one, and that ho would knife them if they attempted to seize him. Tho testimony is mostly such as restates or cor roborates tho above 'points, and the main facts proved arc, that whilo tho Deputy Sheriff were at the polls in dis charg of duty, they were assaulted by the mob, and, together with other citizens, wcro beaten. William Henry Harrison was killed there by a blow given by Oliver Lee, and John H. Smith was also killcdjby blows from clubs in tho hands of Newman and a person unknown. Let Americans read these facts and ponder them. Is it not timo that something should be dono to protect tho lives of Americans ? Advxrtismint Extraordinary The following curious advertisement appears in a Western paper: 'Whereas, at particular times I may imnortune mv frcinds. and others, to 4 . - r r let me havo liquor, which is hurtful to me, and deCnmental to society, this is, therefore, to forbid any persons selling wo liquor or letting me havo any on any account or pretence; for it they do 1 will positively prosccuto tliem notwithstanding any promise 1 may make to the contrary at the time they may let mq have it."

THE CROCK OF GOLD. BT MARTIN FARQUHAR TCTFEB, AUTHOR OF 'PROVESBIAL PHILOSOPHY." CHAPTER XL Sleep. Grace, in her humble truckle-bed, lay prying for her father ; not about his trouble, though that was much, but for the spots of sin sho could discern upon his soul. Alas, an altered man was Roer Acton ; almost since morning light, the leprosy had changed his very nature. The simple-minded) Christian, toilin? in contentment for his daily bread, cheerful for the passing day, and trustlui lor tue coming morrow, uns iair state was wollnigh faded away ; whilst a bittcrnsss of feeling against (in one word) GOD, against unequal partialities in providence, against things as thev exist, and this world's inexülieable government, wa irnawinsr at his very heart-strings, and cankering their unbelief. It is a speedy process; throw away faith with its trust for the past, love for the present, hope for the future, and you throw away all that makes sorrow bearable, or joy lovely ; tho best of us, if trod withheld his help, would apostatize like Peter, ere the cock crow thrice ; and, at times, that help has wisely been withheld, to check presumptuous thoughts, and teach how true it is that the creature depend on the Creator. Just so we suffer a wilful little child, who is tot tering about in leading-strings, to go alone for a minute and have a gentle fall. And just so Roger here, desert ed for a timo of those angelic minis trations whose efficiency is proved by godliness aud mecknes?, by patience and content, is harrassed in his spirit as by harpies, by selfishness and pride, and fretful doubtings ; by a grudging hatoof labor, and a fiery lust of gold. Temptation comes to . teach weak man that ho was fitted for h'i3 station, and his station made for him : that fulfilment of his ignorant desires will make his case tho worse : and that Provldcnre alllto 1 wlso In what llo gives, and what dealci. Meanwhile, gentle Grace, on her humble truckle-bed, is full of prayers and tears, uneasily listening to the indistinct and noisy talk, and hearing, now and then, some louder o ith of Ben's, that made her shudder. Yes, 6ho heard, too, tho smashing sound when tho poacher flung the money down? and Rhc fcxred it was a mug or a plate no slight domestic loss ; and she heard her father's strange cry, when he gave that wondering shout of a i .a joyous avarice, ana she aid not know what to fear, was lie ill t or crazed 7 or worse, fallen into bad execscs?How sho prayed for luml Poor Ben, honcst-hcarted lien, she thought of him in charity, and pleaded for his good before tho Throne of Mercy. Who knows but Heaven heard that saintly virgin praytrr lhero is love in Heaven yrt for poor Ben Burke. And if he prayed for Ben, with wVint nn lufrmv nf dfr-n ft-lt intor cession did she plead for Thomas Ac ton, that own only brother of hers, just a year tho younger to endear hira all the more, her playmate, care and charge, her friend nnd boisterous protector. The many sorrowing hours sho had spent for his sake, nnd the thousand generous actions he had done for hers. Could hhe forget how the strippling fought for her that day, when rude Joseph Green would help her over the stile ? Could she but remember how slily he had put nside, for moro than half a year, n little heap of copper earnings' weeding-moncy and errand-mop.cy, and harvest-money nnd then bounteously spent it all at once in giving her a bible on her birthday? And when, coming across the fields with him after leasing, years ago now, that fierce black bull of Squire Kyle's was rushing down upon us both how bravely did the noble boy attack him with a stake, ni he came up bellowing, and make tho dreadful monster turn away! Ah! I looked death in tho face then, but for thee, my brother! Remember him, my God, for good! Poor father 1 poor father I' well, I'm resolved uponcne thing i I'll go, with

Heaven's blessing, to the Hall myself,

and sec Sir John, to-morrow ; ho shall hear the truth, for And so Grace fell asleep. Roger, when he went to bed, came to similar conclusions. He would speak up boldly, that he would, with out fear or favor. Ben's most season able bounty, however to be questioned on the point of right, made him fivel entirely independent both of baliffs and squires, and ho had now no anxic tics, but rather hopes, about to-morrow. He was as rood as they with money in his pocket ; so he'd down to the Hall, and face the baronet himself, and blow Lis bailiff out o' water: that should be his business by noon. An other odd idea, too, possessed him. and he could not 6lccp at night for tuiniking oi h: u was a ioonsa iancy, dui me a ream migni nave put it in his head : what if ono or other of those honey-jars, there among the another sort of crock of gold? so flung here nnd rushes, were in fact "Savings-bank" a It was a thrillinsr thought his very dream, too; and the lot of shillings, and tho swawl, ay, and the inquest, and the rumors how that 'Mrs. Quarlcs had come to her end unfairly, and no hoards found and tho honey-pots missing. IIa! at any rate he'd have a search to-morrow. JNo bugbear now should lander him money's money; he'd ask no questions t ... i . it- i uow it got. mere, ins own du oi garden lay the nearest to Pike Island, and who knows but Ben might have slung ascrock this way? It wouldn't do to ask him though for Burko might look himself and get tho crock. was Roger's last and selfish thought before' he fell asleep. As to Mrs. Acton, she, poor woman. had her own thoughts, fearful ones about that shawl, and Ben's mysterious adventure. No cloudy love of mammon had overspread her mind, to hide from it the hidcousncss of murder; in her eyes blood was terrible, and not the less so that it covered gold. She remembered at the inquest be sure 6hc,was there among the gossips the lacw, so iiitio i&acn notice oi till now, tho kej-s in the cupboard, where the honey-pots were not, and how Johnathan Floyd had seen something on the lake, and the marks of a man's hand on the throat; and God forgive her for 6ayin? so, but Mr. Jennings was a littlo whito-faced man. How wroncr was it of Roger to have burnt that shawl! how dull of Ben not to have suspected something ! but then the ood fellow suspects nobody, and,JI are say, doesn't know my thoughts, now. 13 u liorer does, more shame for him; or why burn the shawl? Ahl thought she, with all the gossip rampant in her breast, if I could only have taken it to the Hall myself, what a stir 1 should have caused. Yes, she would have reaped a mighty field of glory by originating such a whirlwind of inquiries and surmises. Even now so attractive was the mare's nest, she would go to the Hall by morning and tell Sir John lumsolf all about tho burnt shawl, and Pike Island, and the galli . And so she fell fast asleep. With respect to Ben, Tom and Rov er, a well-matched triad, as any Isis, Horus, and Nepthys, they all flung hemselvt-s promiscuously on the hard floor lesidc the hearth, "basked at the fire their hairy strength," nnd soon were snoring away beautiful in con cert, base, tenor nnd treble, like a leash of glee-singers. No thoughts troubled them, either of mammon or murder: so long before the meditative trio up-stairs, they had set a good example, and fallen asleep. CHAPTER XII. i Lovo. With the earliest peep of day aroso sweet Grace, full of cheerful hope, ! andrraycr, and happy resignation. She had a great deal to do with morning, for, innocent girl, sho had no notion that it was quite possible to lc too early at tho Hall; her only fear was being too late: Then there was all tho household cares to see to, and tho dear babes to dress, and the placo to tidy up, and breakfast to get ready, and nnyhow sho could not bo abroad till half past eight: so to her dismay, it must bo past nine before ever Rhc can see Sir John. Let us follow her a lit tie; for on this important day wc shall havo to take the adventures of our laborer's family one at a time. Uy twenty minutes to nine, Graco had contrived to bustle on her things, give the rest the slip, und bo tripping to the Hall. It is nearly two miles off as we already know; tin I Graco is 6uch a pretty creature that we can clearly do no butter than employ our time thitherward by taking a peep at her. Sweet Graco Acton; we will not vex thy blushing maiden modesty by elaborate details of form and face and feature. Perfect womanhood at eighteen; let that fill all the picture up with soft and swelling charms; no wadding, or padding, orjigot, or jupe but all of those graceful undulations are herself: no pearl-powder, no carmine, no borrowed locks, no musk or ambergris but all those fecblo helps of meretricious art excelled and superseded by their just originals in nature. It will not do to talk, as a romancer may, of velvet checks and rilkcn tresses; or invoke, to the aid of our inadequate description, roses,and swans, nnd peaches and lillics. Take tho simple village beauty as 6hc is: did you ever look on prettier lips or sweeter Jeyes more glossy natural curls upon a whiter neck? And howthntlittlo red-riding-hood cloak, and the nimplc cottago hat tied down upon her checks, and the homely russet gown all too bhort for modern fashions, and the while wellturned tinkle, and tho tidy little leather bhoc, and the bunch of snow-drops in her tucker, and tho neat mittens

contrasting darkly with her fair bare arm9 pretty Grace, how well all

these become thee! There, trip along with health upon thy cheek, and hope within thv henrt: who can resist bo eloquent a pleader? Haste on, haste on, save thy father in his trouble, a3 thou hast biest him in his sin this rustic lane is to thee tho path of duty Heaven speed thee on it" More slowlv now. ana witn more anxious thoughts, more heart-weak ness. more misriving, Grace approach ed the stately mansion: and when she timidly touched the "Servants'" bell, for she felt too lowly for the 'Visitors,' and when 6he heard how terribly loud it was, how long it rung, and what might bo the issue of her-wasn't it ill-considerate? errand, the poor trirl almost fainted at the sound. As she .leant unconsciously for strength against the door, it opened on'a sudden, and Johnathan Floyd, in mute amazement, caught her in his arms. "Why, Grace Acton, what's the matter with you?" Johnathan knew Grace well, they had been at dame'sschool together, and in after years attended the same Sunday class at the church. There had been some talk among the gossips about Jonathan and Grace, and ere now lolks hau oeen Kind enough to say they would make a pret ty couple. And folks wre right, too, as well as kind: for a fine young fellow was Jonathan Floyd, as any duchess's footman, tall, well built, and twenfive; Antinous in a livery. Well to do withal, though his wages don't come straight to him; for independence of of his place and the baronet likes him for his good looks and proper manners he is Farmer Floyd's only son, on the hill yonder, as thriving a small tenant as any round abouts: and he is proud of his blue and silver uniform, of old Ilurstley, and of all things in the general, except herself. "liutwhat on earth's the matter, Grace?" ho was obliged to repeat, for the dear girl's agitation was extreme. Jonathan, can l see the baronet! What, at nine o'clock in the mornW2. Grace Acton? call again at two, and you may find him getting up. He hasn t been three hours aDed yet, , . . i 1 ...i l-.-i P L and there's noooay aooui dui oaran Stack and me. I wi3h those Lunnum sparks would but leave the place; they do his honor no good, I am a thinkwir. Not till two!, was the slow and mournful ejaculation; what a damper to her buoyant hopes; and Providence hod seen fit to give her ill-success. Is it so? prosperity may come in other shapes. Why, Grace, suddenly said I loyd, in a nervous way, what makes you call upon myjmastcr in this tidy trim? xo save my latner, answered inno cence. How? why? Oh don't Grace, don't! I'll save him I will indeed what is it? Oh don't don't. For the poor affectionate fellow con jured on the spot the black vision of a father saved by a daughter's üegreüation. Don't Jonathan? it is my duty, and God will bless me in it. That cruel Mr. Jennings has resolved unon our ruin, and I wished to tell Sir John the truth of it. At this hearing Jonathon brighten ed up, and glibly said, Ah, indeed Jen nings is a iroume to us au ; n sau me I've led of it this year past; and I've paid hira pretty handsomely too, to let me keep the place; while as for John Pacrc. and the crooms and Mr. Coach man and the helpers, they don't touch much o' their wages on quarter-day, I know. Oh, but we arc ruined ruined; father is forbidden now to labor for our bread; and then with many tears she told her talc. Stop, Miss Grace, suddenly said Jonathan, for her beauty and eloquence transformed the cottager into a lady in his eyes, and no wonder; pray stop a minute, Miss, please to take a scat, I shan't bo gone an instant. And the good hearted fellow, whoso eyes had long been very red, broko away at a gallop; but was back again almost as soon as gone, panting like a post-horse. Oh, Grace, don'i bo angry, do forgive me what I am going to do. Do, Jonathan? and tho beauty involuntarily started I hop it's nothing wrong, sho added solemnly. Whether right or wrong, Grace, take it kindly; you have often bade mo read my Bible, and I do so many timesjboth for sake of it and you, ay, and meet with many pretty sayings in it: forgive me if I net on one 'It is more blessed to give than to receive;' with that, ho thrust into her hsnda brass-topped red-leather purse, stuffed with money. Generous fellow! all the littlo savings that had heretofore escaped the prying eye nnd ditching grasp of Simon Jennings. There was some little gold in it, more silver, and a lot of bulky copper. Dear Jonathan! Txclaimcd Grace, quite thrown off her guard of maidenly reserve, this is too kind, too good, too much, indeed, indeed it is; I cannot take the purse; and her bright eyes overflowed again. Well, girl, said Jonathan, gulping down an apple in his throat, I, I won't have tho money, that's all. Ob, Grace, Grace, he bnrst out earnestly, let mo be the blessed means of helping you in troublo I would dio to do it, Grace; indeed I would! The dear girl fell upon his neck and they wept together like two loving little sisters. Jonathan her dutious spirit was the first to speak, forgivo this weakness of a follish womau's heart; I will not put away the help which God provides us at yrur friendly hands: only this, kind brother, let me call vou brother, keep tho purse; if my father

pines for want of work, and the babes at home lack food, pardon my boldness if I take the help ou offer. Mean

while, God in heaven bless you, Jona than, as He will." And she turned to eo away. Won't you take a keepsake, Grace, one little token? 1 wish I had any thing here but money to give you lor my sake. It would even be ungenerous inme to refuse you, brother; ono little piece will do. jonainan iumblcdup something in a crumpled piece of paper, and said sobbingly, let it be this new half-crown Grace; I won't say keep it always; on ly when you want to use that and more, I humbly ask you'll please come to me. Now a more delicate, a more unsel fish act, was never done by man; a long with the half-crown he had pack ed up two sovereigns! and thereby not only escaped thanks, concealed his own beneficence, and robbed his purse of half its little store; but ac tualiy he was, by doing so, depriving himself for a month, or may-be more, of a visit from Grace Acton. Had it been only half-a crown, and want had J inched the family (neither Grace nor on a than could guess of Ben Burke's bounty, and for all they knew Roger had not enough for tho morrow s meals) had poverty come in like an armed man, and stood upon their threshold a crnm sentinel doubtless she must have run to him within a day or two. How sweet would it have been to have kept her coming day by day, and to a commoner atlccuon how excusab:; but still how selfish, how unlike the liberal andhonorable feelings that rilled the manly heart of Jonathan Floyd! It was a noble act and worthy of a long parenthesis. If urace Acten had looked back as she hnrried down the avenue, she would have seen poor Jonathan still watching her with all his eyes till she was out of sight. Perhaps, though, 6hc might have gussed it, there is i xjmnntlitT in tViosn Itinera f)i frno nn imal magnetism and 1 dare say that was tho very reason why she did not once turn her head. (TO BE CONTINUED.) fcsT The following spirited passage is from. the sixth volume of Bancroft's History of the United States. It des cribes a scene between Samuel Adams and Hutchinson, the royal Lieut. Govenor, alter me Boston massacre. Would that the spirit of Samuel Adams animated the aristocracy of Boston now, as it did then. SAMUEL. ADAMS DEMANDING THE (REMO VAL OF THE BRITISH TROOPS FROM BOSTON. ' My readers will remember, that the instructions from the king which placed the army above tho civil Jpower in America contained a clauee, that, where there was no officer of the rank of Brigadier, the Govcnor of the Colony or Province migth give the word. Dalrymple, accordingly, offered to obey the lieutenant-govenor, who, on his part, neither dared to bid the troops remain, nor order their with drawal. So the opinion which had been expressed by Bernard during the last summer; and at the timo had been approved by Dalrymple, was called to mind as tho rule for the occasion. The lieutenant-govenor, therefore, acquainted the town's committee; that the 29th regiment, which was particularly concerned in tho late differences, should without delay be placed at the castle, and the 1 4th only bo retained in town under efficient restraint. Saying this, he adjourned tic council to the afternoon. "The vigorous will of Samuel Ad ams now burst forth in its majesty. As Fancuil Hall could not hold the throng from tho surrounding country, the town had adjourned to tho Old South meeting-house, the street between the Stato Houso and that church wa3 filled with people. 'Make way for the committee.' was the shout of the multitude, ns'Adams came out from the council chamber, and, baring his head, which was already becoming gray, moved) through their ranks, inspiring lflroic confidence. "To the people who crowded even the gallery and aisles of tho spacious meeting-house, he made his report, and pronounced the answer insufficient. Or ordinary occasions he seemed like ordinary men; but in moments of crisis, ho rose naturally and unaffectedly into tho attitude of highest dignityand spoke as if tho hopes of humanity wero dependent on his words. The town, after deliberation, raised a new and smaller committee, composed of Samuel Adams.'Hancock, Molineux, William Philips, Warren, Henshaw, and Pembt rton, to bear their final message. They found the lieutenant govcnor surrounded by the council, and by the highest officers of the British army and navy on tho station. "Hutchinson had done his utmost to get Samuel Adams shipped to England as a traitor; at this most important moment in their lives, the patriot and tho courtierjstood face to face. It is the unanimous opinion of the electing,' said Samuel Adamsjto him in the name of all, 'that tho reply made to the vote of the, inhabitants in the morning is unsatisfactory; 'nothing less will satisfy than a total and immediate removal of all the troops The: troops are not subject tomy.'authority,' repeated Hutchinson; I have no power to remove tbcra.'J.Stretching forth his arm, which slightly shook as if 'his frame trembled athe,cnergy of bis soul,' in tunes not loud, but clear and distinctly audible, AdamsJ rejoin-1

'Then.' said Adams, who cot long afterwards described the scene, 'at' the appearance of the determined citizens, percmtonly demanding the "redress of grievances, I observed his knees to tremble ; I saw his face growjpale; and I enjoyed the sight' As the committee left the council chamber, Hutchinson's memory was going back in his reverie to the days of the revolution of 1CC8. He saw in his mind Andros seized and imprisoned, and the people instituting a new-government; he reflected that the citizens of Boston and the country about it were become four times as numerous as in those days, and their 'epirit full as high.' He fancied them insurgent, and himself their captive ; nnd he turned to the council for advice. 4It is not such people as formerly pulled down your house, who conduct the present measures,' said Tyler, 'but they are people of the best characters among us, men of estates, and men of religion. It is impossible for the troops to remain in town ; there will be ten thousand men to effect their removal, be the consequences what it may. Russell of Charleston, and Dexter of Dedham, a man of admirable qualities, confirmed what was said. They spoke truly ; men were ready to come down from the hills of Worchester ' County, and trom the vale of tho Connecticut. The council unanimously advised sending the troops to the castle forthwith. 'It is impossible for me,' said Dalrymple again and again, weakening the force of what he said by frequently repeating it, 'to go any further lenghts in this matter. The information given of the intended rebellion is a sufficient reason against the removal of his Majesty's forces.' You have asked tho advice of the council, said Gray to the lieutenantgovenor; 'they have given it unanimously; you are bound to conform to it.' 'If mschief should come, bv means of your not joininc: with us, pursued Irving, 'the whole blame must fall upon you; but if you join with us. and the commanding officers after that should refuse to remove tho troops, the blame will then be at his door.' Hutchinson finally agreed with the council, and Dalrymple assured him of his obedience. The town's committee. being informed of this decision, left the State House to make their welcome report to the meeting. The inhabi tants listened with the highest satis faction ; but, ever virrilant they pro vided measures for keeping up a strong military watch of their own, until the rgiments should leave ' the town."
