There is no evidence of either; but if there Vas; the question would not be, was he an enemy or a coward, but did he tell the truth? br. Trumbull says the reason he did not allude to Peters, in hisiljstory, was because it was" Twliolly vnnecessariK &ince any one on slight examination, would se that' m refuted. in privata, because he did nPt chose' to sieak in public, and hence, when asted pri vately he said he thoughf Peters 'not to be depended upon; as to any matter of fact."

Now remember the laws, in Peters' code relate almost exclusively t the sub jects Of dress, fashion, &c,and toi ecclesiasti cal qualifications for civil preferments," and that Ncal published ordinances as the fitd mgs ifnd convictions of courts,- as well as laws, and that being an Englishman, and never having been on American soil, he had no motive to om, and did uot',lpmif any law oYortlinance of fashion, dress,' or civil or reHgions'yguVatii)n, and is no), t ask in aU sniccrjfy, the inference a fair one that tlje 4Biufi Laws," whether written orhnwrit- tep; ha'd'tid" existence, at the time Neal wrote l)is history, in 17J9 ? ' Veritas does not show that thisis ppi true. but contents hiniself, by the assertion, that Npat and other Purifsiu write'rsj 'being de yqtetl'to their party, left ont, what are styl ed, 'unnecessary f ruth."' Thi is not argu ment. Neither Neal 'nor any other writer, could quote that which did not exist;' that feat was reserveil for Dr. Samuel Peters; who in codifying his laws of "custom and usae." was about as successful as the State of New York, isisaid to hTC been, in its attempt, 1 . a. .

But-further.

Hutchin son's Collaon of Paper, where the iden tical pmyisjons" may be found. It would be i njarvc! indeed, if Peters could quote rrbn memory, forty-five unwritten laws containing the identical prorhiowi said' to be found in this Abstract. But what is more unfortunate than marvelous, is the fact, that Hutchinson died, in 1780, before Peters gaye his "sfcetph." How could Hutchinson's Ab stract Contain ths "identical provisions" of las not as yet sketched? The last work of Iltttebinson himr elf, was published in 1769. Hi grandson, like JlcCdrinkk the grand son of Peters, pyblisfeed a posthumous vol uuie, in Jxndon, in 1828, which may or may ot have copied the "identical provisions" of Peters' laws. But after all, Veritas does not seem to have much confidence in Hutchin son, as a witness, and "damns him with faint praise," by adding, "it is said that 'he loved fame and feared giving ofl'ence.'" Mr. Trumbull's admission that "the acts and proceedings of New Haven Colony were "stigmatized as Blue Laws, as early as the year 1700' proves nothing more than that the term "blue' was used as atcrm of re proach. It is immaterial as to the time when this epithet originated. Good : men, their acts," public and private, civil aud religions, were thus ttignmtized long before Peter's day. All dissters from the English es tablished church, whether Independents, Purtrans or Presbyterians were thus stigma tfeed. A. modern writer, quoting lludibras, who wrote a century before Peters, says, "Ihe Presbyttnans, under which name, all dissenters jwere often included, as they still dared to be the advocates of decency, Were WOfP particularly designated by this term; their religion Ijping marked by it, as menu anct contemptible. Thus Butler "Fottus religion, it was fit To match his learning and his wit; Twas Presbyterian true blue.'"' Iludib. Cant.1. Chief Justice Smith of New York is also introduced as saying; in his history, pub. lislied in 1707, that the laws jn question are only records of convictions, consonant, in the judgment of the magistrates to the Word of God, and dictates of reason." which meana, jf it means any thing, that the colo nists of New Haveu, so far from having either a code of written laws, or laws of cus tom and Usage, really had no laws at all, except "the word of God," which is much nearer the truth than Peters is, in giving forty-five specimens of laws, dubbed blue, which cannot be proven to exist. But let us see what Justice Smith says obout the recorus, in aauition to tfce above quotation. The italics are my own, I "A note ought not to be suppressed re specting these record, to correct a voice of misplaced ridicule. Few there are, wljo speak of the blue laws, (a title of which the author was ignorant,) who do not imagine they form a code of rules for future conduct. drawn up by an enthnsiasfic, precise set of t-.ll ii if.n into 4 I. ." 1 !"(5iM"io, auu it ijik iHTFntmn oj win, &u porists aj(4 buffoons were to bj credited, they Inust coniist of niany large volumes, The APthor had. the curiosity to resort to them, when, the' Commissaries met at New Haven, for adjusting a partition line between New York and Massachusetts, in J767; and a jMrchm ant covered book of dcmi-roral pa jier,' was handed him for the laws asked for, as the only:volumo in tho office, passing un der" this odd title. It contains the memori fcls of the k first settlement of the colony, which consisted of persons tcho had icande'r fd beyond the limits vf Massachusetts Bay, and who, as yet unauthorized by the crown, to set up any civil government, in due form of law, resolved to conduct themselccs, by the Bi ble. As a necessary consequence the judges tljey chose, took up an authority similar to that, which every religious num. exercises oer-ins cuiiuren ana uomestics.

These remarks were, bv the author, communicated to Mr. Hutchin foi of BQstop, then one of tiie Commissaries, ers, and to Other gentlemen of eminence, in the colony of tha vary town of New Haven, tvho heanl them aa noTclties: nor would the former adopt them, till he had recourse.the next day, to the, records themselpes." (Prof, King sly's Hist,.Dise, p. JQgr) The Mr. Hutchinsnn above referred to ras according to Prof. Iviptfslpy, up less a personage than Gov. llutchinsoq himself. Upon personal inspection of the records he Was reluctantly led to adopt the views of fjhief Justice Smith, that the invention of wits, humorists, and buffoons is not to be credited as truthful history, and that "the record of , con fictions? styled "blue lavs? did not form a code ofrylesfor future conduct. Thi was in 1767. Peters wrote his history ! in J78J, in Jndon. How then is it possi ble tljat the identical provisions,? of Peters' Blue Jws, or what is the same thing, "the authenticity pf the famous laws of New Ha ven, ca b Hcflnffrmed beyond a doubt by the reprint of the Attract of Laws of New England in Governor Hutchinson's collec tion jof Papers,' when Cap.
