Reflections.
Tlie great peculiarity of our nature gently
leads us on, without reminding us of the
incomprehensible value of the many golden
moments, withj.whtch'we are an graciously
visited while acting upon the grand drama
of early life. Many are the. facinating
scenes of a mundane character, which
sweetly rise before tho sprightly infagina.
tion of youth ; and which promise men
many long revolving years to come. But
while we are so delightfully borne on by
the fuir -prospects of a protracted life, we
should remember that we are surrounded
with ten thousand dungcrs, that tre capable
of hurrying us to the lonely mausoleum
appointed for all livings where tho once
warm heart will bo ns cold and lifeless as
the mouldering clod of the valley ; and
where no boisterous wave of trouble or pain
shall ever beat against tnejifeless frame of
the departed. There the thrilling war-

THE TREATY OF GHENT.
Messrs RPMakin Holden :
Gentlemen Permit me to trespass on
your politeness, by transmitting an origi
nal communication "from the American
Plenipotentiaries, dated 'XShcnt. October
25, 1814," found among the papers of tfie
late Ex-President Jefferson, which not bay-
ing been publishod, will show tho Ameri-
can politicians of the present day, and al.
so the people at large, how hear they were
m having 'a second seven years war with a
powerful natioa, wnoiiyuniramme.ieo.irom
her European wars, and anxiously waiting
-for some triumph of her arms this side of
the Atlantic, to stop all further negotia-
tions, by a demand of territory which thejr
knew would not bo listened to, to pour her
legions, flashed with victory, along our ex.
tensive sea.board. .
This able communication portrays tho
cool and collected character of, tho Ameri.
can-Diplomatists at that critical period,
and developes, wilh aj.jftntemanlike...and
masterly hand, tliodeep intrigues of the
British Commissioners, who were, it tip-
pears, determined on procrastination hoping
some expected triumph ol the liritisti arms
undismayed, unconquered and unwavering
in the sucrecJ cause tor wlucti tncy wore
manfully contending.
With great respect, gentlemen,

negotiation has not terminated so abruptly
as we expected ot mat perioo inai ii womu,
w have no reason to retract the opinion
which wo then expressed, that no hopes of
Peace, as tikely,to result from it, could be
entertained. . It is t rue that tho terms
which the British Government had so per.
emptorily prescribed at that time, have been
apparently abandoned, and that the " sine
qua nort" then required us a preliminary
to alt discussion upon other tppics.as been

that Greot Britain had no view In this He

It will be perceived that this new pretension
was brought forward immediately after the

But this is not their state far from if;
