'If the public knew the author of the Essays of which the following is the fust

ly say, that they will amply repay the

reader. TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. No. I. It must be obvious to every observer of passing events, that the piesent aspect of political affiurs is highly unpropitious, if not alarming. The time has arrived when neutrality may be regarded as criminal as indicating an insensibility to the success of our happy institutions, or a sordid and selfish determination to hazzard nothing for their preservation. With these convictions, I ask leave to submit, for your deliberate consideration, some of the views which have occurred to me as worthy of your notice. As I have no wish to aid them by any factitious circumstance, and am equally unwilling that their influence should be impaired by any unjust suspicion of the quarter from whence they come, 1 offer you a pledge of my sincerity in designa

ting by my signature the pursuits of my life. 1 am no office seeker believing that no public station can be more honorable than that which I already enjoy, as an independent farmer. I feel that I am exempt from any improper bias, and that if there are errors in the views which I present to you, they are errors of the head, and not of the heart. In addressing you, 1 trust I shall not forget the respect due to my fellow citizens, but J shall at the same time speak frankly of

men and things as they appear to me. The circumstances under which we are railed to act forbid flattery, or even forbearance. Tiie times are distempered. The omens are threatening: and it beLoves every man, conscientiously and fearlessly, to take his station and to do his part. By such means only may we avert the serious evils which are hovering over the future. I beg leave., empatically to ask of you, what has produced this extraordinary 3tate of allYirs to which I have alluded? Three years ago all was tranquil. The vessel of state glided peaceably along. The administration of public affairs which was then conducted in the same

spirit as now received the general ap-l probation of the American people; and, concord and goodwill prevailed throughout the Republic. A political milleni-

um seemed to have arrived. But, what is now our condition?' Discord and all uncharitableness are every where prevailing. The characters of our most illustrious citizens are assailed with ruthless barbarity. The press, designed as a great auxiliary to virtue, teems with falsehood and defamation, so that the guilty no longer fears its lash. Every house and every hamlet is divided against itself one portion of the Union is arrayed against another the fearful and impious question of disunion, in some quarters, is the subject of dailvand famil

iar conversation. Our Legislature denouncing the General Government for exercising powers which have been unquestioned before, since its foundation and while the Governor of one State threatens to call out his divisions to wage war against the federal authority of the Jlnpublic, another propagates disorgan

izing sentiments on the anniversary of

our independence, thus rendering them the more heinous. These are among the signs of the times which justify one in saying that the aspect of our afftirs is unpropitious, if not alarming. And well may we pess the inquiry, what has produced it, and what is the source of these bitter waters? The answer is a plain one. We have

. A

experience the fate which hag befallen every free government thy liberties will will be sacrificed to the glory of some military chieftain. I had fondly hoped to have found in thee an acception; but thy support of Jackson, a man who has disregarded every order he received who has trampled undet foot the laws and constitution of his country and who has substituted his own ungovernable will as his only rule of conduct thy

support of such a man shakes my confidence in the capacity of man for self-

government, and 1 fear all is lost." This

is the language of the dying patriot.

And if we followed him with undimin

ished confidence, and with unexampled success, in times and seasons when lia

ble to temptation, what defference is

not due to his opinion, when delivered under such solemn circumstances, and in a condition little less imposing than if he had just risen from the dead '. Under such high authority, I the more confidentially assert, that the effort to elect Jackson is the fruitful fountain of prevailing mischiefs, which every sober man must deprecate,as disturbing the repose, and threatening the safety of the republic. This infirmity of a blind and indolatrous devotion to military success the bane of every republic that has gone before us is the prolific soil whose liar

vest of bitterness we are now reaping.

the lee side of the island. After great caution they came along side, and related the following in English, most, indeed all of them knowing the English language. They stated that, a fortnight before, a brig under Spanish colors, from and belonging to Havana, had anchored for refreshments, supposed to have about thirty men indifferently armed. The captain requested the governor to give his crew a house to car

ry on trade, which was readily granted,!

taken possession of, and barter, lor small fowl?, pigs and goats, carried on arnica-j

bly for two days, when the Spaniards grew impatient for more supplies, which the natives really had not on the island. On the following day two men were taken on board the brig and most severely beaten; they are since dead. The natives now tied to the mountains for safety. On the third day some returned,

and the kindness of the captain and his crew, for the time, induced all to return

to the village, four of the crew slept

on shore, had a good house or hut, and

as they stated, were well used. On

Saturday morning trading continued till

noon, when the crew ruslied on shore,;

armed, and, without the least cause, reason or notice, commenced a heavy fire of musketry upon the poor, harmless,

and totally defenceless inhabitants; the

These are the causes contributing to that state of things, in which Jefferson, profoundly versed in the history of Governments, saw the frightful foreboding

that even here all would be lost. In vain did Cato, the stern Roman Patriot, warn his countrymen against Caisar. Equally vain was the English patriot's admonition, that Cromwell, under the

hypocritical mask of religion, wasamani

came home to obtain both, as well as some assistance in killing the bears. But before his return they had made ttieir escape however, the old bear and too of her cubs were killed on Monday morning. On the same day another full grown bear was killed, which with the one that was killed on Sunday afternoon, not far from hence, and the three already mentioned, make five on Sunday and Monday. A gentleman was out with his dog a few days since, when hearing a hostile bark, he came up and saw a lusty bear endeavoriug to climb a tree, and Pompey attacking him in the rear and pulling him down, Bruin would then turn upon the dog to punish his presumption; but Pompey being more agile, and hav

ing no inclination for a bearish hug,

would spring from the enemy s reach, and make good his retreat. Thus stood matters between the four

legged combatants; when Pompey being reinforced by powder and ball, an and was put to the battle and Bruin together. The bears of Hoosac have become uncommonly numerous. We have heard of something like a dozen, killed in this neighborhood within a month. Every day or two we have accounts of bears being seen by some persons or other; and though we make all proper allowances for the magnifying fears of the spectator, it must doubtless be conceded that no bears in tlie old and respectable

state of Massachusetts, can bear away the palm from the bears of this neighborhood, for downright fearless and familiar intercourse with their civilised neighbors And yet to do them justice, these bears

are as civil and well behaved a set of

bears as we ever met with exceedingly moderate in their wishes, asking generally, for nothing but plenty of corn, nuts and sweet apples, and taking them without leave rather than trouble the owner with any kind of impudence.
