V io ae what wotvl iututUa tfbfcaaw habitual use, ' they becojne delicious sweets. Among tber sliperffuUies.of life these may be enumerated, viz. al most all kinds of spirituous liquors? tea, tobacco and snuif. Air these at" first are disagreeable to a person's na tural relish ; but by unremitted per severance in consuming and a deter mined resolution toiisis them, the sot and voluptuary can finally say, that the consumption of these articles, not only afford real satisfaction, but is abso lutely necessary to. support life ; how ever a temperate use of, them cannot be deemed a cnme but an excess ; h thus much tnay be said i it .does not ( constitute a persbn virtuous or meri f tbrious to sip at the, bottle j-to ; have a partiality for tea; a fondness of tobac- co ana love tor snun. ineonety oran- immodcrate use of liquors is an evil ha'iit. This destructive., inclination comes on gradually; "and if we take a retrospective vie w of the lives of those notorious for a lave of spirits,' we shall find the vice comes on by gradation. At first their pahsiohs were easily gra tified '; 'but soon they began to, cry a little more, a little more. In the mor-. ning they must have a, dram; this suffices for an hour or two ; then there comes on a strangle feeling ; they guess a little gin or brandy would be a good restorative ,;, the difficulty is im mediately removed, and they feel re freshed : bul at 1 1 o'clock, a terrible fai'itnass is felt In the stomach ; .what can this mean ? After a short recol lection., .the problem is solved, and they say 'tis flip time. Thus from a spark it grows to a (lame, and at Jength a permanent friendship is formed with their daily conqueror. So of the profane' person; he at first begins moderately ; he does not stick at saying I vow, fcc. Presently he can damn and Curse ; and being an apt scholar, he learns fast. At length he can swear, and swear joining hands. Thus he progresses from step to step, till .the most shocking oaths are utter ed without hesitation, and the most sa cred name f the deity is Ukcn in vain and sported on with cvrry. occasion I The person who undertakes to propa gate falshoods, at first telN a large truth its veracity, is called in ques tion : then it is expedient to tell twen- Lty to illucidate the first assertion tSo, J in every vicious practice, small devia tions from the rule of right lead on to crimes of greater magnitude. In a review Fthe subject, a tew reflections nftturatl? arise. The evil consequen ces of allowing an :travagant use of tea, tobacco, snuiT, ;c. do not amount to a loss of reputation ; but the advo cates of thev: vcgitablts may injure their constitutions, lessen nbeir pro perty, i'nd lose their delicacy. Here k-t me a ;k the question ; has tobacco the quality to make Hjcrson's c ountc nance more beautiful, or his company more desirable f And who .dees not abhor a snuff-taker ? The man of in temperance destroyshis health, reason and interest ; ruins his'charnctcr ; in capicitatcs himself for anv kind of cm- ! ployment ; wounds the feelings of a tender wile; exhibits a pernicious cx ample for the imitation of his. rising offspring ; brings shame and disgrace on bis friends and connections, and sinks himself below the brute creation. Dr. Watts beautifully represents the intemperate man in the following lines: The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns hit health to please his taste; , Till all his ritsve powers arc lost, And Liu'.ing life draws near the dut.' On the mppoMtion, thU .a-pr-ion's ociiiir uuitc:cn to nroimiiy was no criir.c. it cannot be a mkik of a gentle in in to swear and blaspheme.

The malignant passions of party spi rit have coloured the tale to suit their owaDolitrcal complexion, while the chivalric notions of . high blooded ho nour have ' consigned to Cowardice a man whose integrity was never doubt ed, and whose sentiments of propriety and genteel deportment can never be questioned by those who are acquainted with the circumstances of the transac tion. But without attempting to con vince persons whose prejudices are al ready enlisted upon one side or the o ther, the following stalement of facts is submitted to the public with a full confidence that the sober sense of the community will form a correct deci sion on the subject of controversey. The only questidn new referred to the judgment of the public is, whether Mr. Ellery conducted as a good mem ber of society,, and as a gentleman in refusing the. challenge of Mr. Rut ledge, and whether the latter can be justified in his. attack upon the former. The cause of- this rencounter is well known.. It is unnecessary to state that it originated from'a supposed agency which Mr. Ellerv had in a publication j of certain letters addressed to the pre sident ol the t imed ijtates, with the signature of Nicholas Jeffroy, and of which it has been said Mr. Rutledge. is the author. This is a subject nigher Mr. ,Rutledge's feelings and more in teresting to his reputation : It shall not At this time receive a discussion, but the public may soon expect a more ample and a more satisfactory state ment of facts o"n the iu'hbrship of tliose letters than has yet been pre sented. In the mean while they . are requested to read with attention" and impartiality tl.e subsequent narration: On Friday the 24th day of Decem ber, Mr. Ellery left the City of Wash ington, for the purpose of spending Christmas -with a friend who resided at Port-Tobacco. On the following Sunday, while dining at his friend's j house, in company with a nunibar of i ladies and gentlemen, a servant be longing to the family informed him that a person at the door, wished to speak with him. He immediately went to the door ana toura the per son standing atthethreshold." Though his countenance Rppeored familiar to Mr. Ellery, his name could not at the moment be recollected. 1 Ie informed Mr. l'llery that he had quitted Wasa- tnsred to Mr. Morris the impropriety of hi request, but if Mr. Ellery con-' sented to assign reasonsr no objection . would be made on his parLThough 1 Mr. Ellery had given an -absolute re- . he thoroughly comprehended the in tention of the honourable John Rut ledge in this second application, Mr. Ellery ' desired his friend to tell thj honourable Lewis R.Morris that he could not accept of Mr. Rutledge 's propos. I that he considered himself under the protection of the Senate, and should proceed ina different man ner, that he should return to , Washi ria with thrinixed. emotions of anger and chargrin exclaimed, u Why dont you let him go." . .To' this address Mr. Ellery made no reply ; but still held Rutledge breathless through fear, shame and guilt, At length one of the spectators saidto the landlord " had we not better part them ;". to which he would not assent juntil he ' spoke' to Mr. Rutledge, who promised , that he would not renew the attacks They then took Mr. Ellery by the ! shoulders and set Mr. Rutledge at li berty, who, when leaving the room under the escort ol bis friend vented ; his wrath against his antagonist , in i lancuaee too vulsrar to be here re- neated.

" Mr. Morris of the House of llepresvr.ta ti vesi" It was then perceived that the person, who'iefore vtos unknown was t!.e honoura't'.e Lewis R. Morris of Vermont. At the request of Mr. i Ellery, he walked into a vacant room. ; He then said to Mr.. Ellery, " Sir my j business is ot another nature, ' and aN t-r mentioning something respecting the Senate vrhich could not be under stood from the hesitating manner in which it ws delivered, further said " Mr. Uutledgc rxpects you to give him the satisfacti'nof a gentleman." As Mr. Kutlcdge cwld have no mo tive for challenging Mr. Ellerv which ! had not existed for months previous to this period, the latter must have been. at a loss to conjecture the rcasot. j why this particular time was selectrd lor the purpose. I he extraordinary manner, umd the appearance of Mr. Morris nt this juncturei withaprf'io sallcd Mr. Ellery to enquire of Mr. Morris where Uuiledge was,.
