Hence, many things have been said that

what is related by the pat lizans of wither

ot the gentlemen, as truth if lending to

uepieciate tne character ol a rival It is said that ki all jokes are free in harvest ;" and, among electioneering whingers in, it seems us if any deception was allowable at tiie time of an election ; the p-acticc of which has much increased within a few years past I intended here to have stated srhat the friends and opponents of the diffeient candidates urge for or against them ; but shall, at least, defer it , for the proceeding might lead to discussions of no profit just now. The people are not yet ready to determine who shall be their next president it would be wrong for them to do it so much in advance ; for events may take place, and probably must come to pass, in the ensuing two years, that will develope the character, and ascertain the pretensions of most of those who are put forward as candidates. Let us wait patiently the operation of truth ; and, in the mean time, do all that we can to sink the bawlers for this man or that man. There is one matter about which I mean to express my opinion decisively which is, the assumption of a power in congress by means of that dirty thing which is called a caucus, to direct the votes of the people in the selection of a president : and 1 have undrstood that a disposition existed in some even to exert this power at the present session ! to render the practice infamous, 1 would hope that such a caucus should be held, if 1 could desire the disgrace of so many men that I would rather respect and esteem. Whenever certain sets of firincifiles are to be supported or opposed, caui us may be tolciated as the means ot extinguishing personal views, and promoting union among the adherents or opponents of such sets of piinciples; but when a

From the Washington Gazette. Deb' or and Creditor. The wealth ol a nation, or an individual, consists in accumulations bom labor, each individual in a community occasions some expense to continue its existence ; if that expence cannot be met by their personal exertion, it becomes a tax on the labois of others, consequently, il the community by common consent prevent an individual from laboting, that individual becomes a public chat ge, hence it became nccessaiy that the public should say w hat they in then judgment thought was sufficient cauc to stop the operation of an individual, and be chargeable with his maintenance, public safety required

; that when an individual became obnoxi

ous from crime, that they should no: be permitted to o at laigc ; and if upon investigation, it should appear that the criminal was of that heinous sort, that tha safety ot society requited that he should be cut ofT, which was done irom expediency ; but leaving crime out of the qu stion, the liberty ofanitulivi. ual is a light unalienable ; he could not transfer it 1st. because as a member of the community his services arc due to that community (which they can exact in time of war in the field) as a soldier, and in time of peace though he may have cliouc of occupation, yet that community may compel him to do something (under a vagrant law ) 2nd. his liberty b ing his dearest piivilegc is secured in a bill of tights, winch, like the law of the Mi des Sc Persians, cannot be altered how then does it happen, that the representative to whom he has transferred certain rhn ts, takes upon himse.f a power delegated to him, i e to alienate tire liber y of his constituent, by k'ivui a c (lito' i c power to imprison him for debt, to be treated as
