Orders in Council, Berlin and Milan decrees, Free Trade, Sailor's Rights and all your non sense had nothing to do with it. The war was entirely Owing toi neighbor'-M's pig getting into neighbor T's garden. Hold still gentlemen, and I will prove it. Burrill you know was M's lawyer and got his case For himi T. was. representative to the Assem bly,! from the town of S ; now you know Burril and Howe! were candidates for Un cle Sam's Senate, and every body was at work on one side and t'other, and after count ing noses, Burril's friends thought all was safe, but when the voltes were taken, T., though he was a good staunch Federalist, and of course bound to vote for Burril, re membering the pig law suit, would not vote fnr hi crt thai Hnwel bv votinc for himself. got ele cted by one majority.

Now if Burril had been there he would have voted for the motion, and the declaration of war would have been defer red.

For manv of the Hast years of his ministerial labors he had no servant to attend any of his domestic con cerns; and he never had even the assistance of a female within hie iinntc.ri. ,u twelve years;- the offices tif fl housemaid- chambermaid, cook, and scillion, and dven most yart ot his washino-i hnA were performed by himself: Ktias been frel quently known to beg needles and thread at some of the, farm houses,; tpTtack together ub iauerea garments, at which, from prac tice,;he ws becomevcry; lrB lUiw curate oTB cwberrv tinwarft nf fnrtw-tlk, . years; and it will scarcely be credited, that the same hat and coat served him for his every day dress during the whole of that pet riod! The brim of the hat had, on one side, (by so much handling,) been worn off quite to tne crown, but on coming one day from me namiet ot Upton across the fields, he luckily met with a left-off hat, stuck up for a scare-crow. He immediately secured thb prize and with some tar twine,' substituted as thread,, and a piece of the brim, quite rcl paired the deficiencies of his beloved oil one, and ever after wore it in common, all though the old one was of; a russet brown and the new brim nearly as, black as jet. His coat when he first came from Ashtot Keys, in 1781, was a surtout much th worse for wear; after some time he had turned inside out, and made into a common one. V henever it became rent or torn, it was as speedily tacked together with his own hands: at lene-th pieces fell out and were lost, and as fast as he found it necessa ry, he cut pieces off the tail to make good the upper part, until the coat was reduced to a jacket, stuck about with patches of his own applying. In this hat and coat, when at home on working days, he was constant iy decorated, but he never, wore It abroad, or before strangers, except he forgot .him self, as he several times had been much - t - vexed at the ridicule his grotesque appear ance had excited when seen by those' with whom he was not much acquainted. ; The extraordinary coat (or more proper ly jacket) is now in the possession of oie of the parishioners, and prized as a greai cu riosity. His stockings were washed; and mended by himself, and some of them had scarcely a vestige of the original worsted. H e had j a great, store cf ne w ?biriswhich hadtnever been yrbrn; fcut forprpfe yeajs his stock became reduced to one v use; tiis par simony would not permit bin to have, this washed more than once in wo or ; three months, for which he relactritly paid a poor woman 4d. He always ilept without his shirt, tluit it might not want washing too often, and by that means he vlrn out; and he always went without one wnne.it was washed, "'and very frequently at other times. rhis solitary shirt he mended himselt, and as fast as it required to be" patched in the body, he ingeniously supplied it by cutting oft the tale; but as nothing win last ioever, bv this constant clipping it untortunately became too short to reach down to his small clothes. This of course was a sad disaster, and there was some fear lest one ot the: new ' t I ,K In ,V- II ut Illl "iflOP o ones must oe orougiu imw uav., diligent search, he fortunately found in one of his drawers the top part of a shirt) with a frill on, which had probably Iain b ever since his youthful and more gay days. This piece was, with ins usual sagacity, tacked by him on the tail of the old one, with the frill downwards, and was thus worn by him until the day beiore lie iett Blewberrv. Latterly, nts memory Decame impaired, and he several times torgot to chance his dress, ar.d has more than once . - 1 J j ,1 been seen, at the Dunai oi a corpse, uresscu in this ludicrous and curious manner!, with scarcely a button on any part of his clothes, but tied together in various parts wnu strings; and'm this state he has, by stran gers. , been mistaken tor a -nuggar, ana uaic- lv escaped being oifer d their charity. ; ; t His diet wasas singular as nrs drqss, tot he cooked his pot only once a week;which alwavs on a Sunday! For his subsist ence he purchased but three articles (which he always denominated as "two necessaries and a luxury;") the necessaries, bread and bacon the luxury, tea. l or many years nis weekly allowance ol bread was halt a gallon per week; and in the fruit season, when his garden produced fruit, or when he once or twice a week procured a meal at his neigh bours', his half gallon loaf lasted him a dayJ nr two of the following week: so tnat in five weeks he often had no more than: four half gallon loaves. He veas also equally abste mious in his other two articles, lie fre quently ate with his parishioners; yet for the last ten years there was but a solitary instance of a person eating with him in re turn, and that a particular friend, wo ob- tninp'd'onlv a bit of bread with much diffi- riiltv and importunity. For the last fifteen years, there was never within his doors any kind of spirits; no beer, bu'ehers' meat, but tpr. sucar. lard, cheese, or milk, Inor any nireties. of which he was particularly fond when they came to him free of expense, but which he could never find the heart to pur chase. His beverage was cold water; and at morning and evening weak tea without milk or sugar. However cold the weather, he seldom had a fire, except to cook with, and that was so small that U might easily have been hid under, a half Gallon measure. He . - . . - - . has often been seen roving the church-yard to pick up bits of sticks, or busy lopping his shrub or fruit trees, to make his fire, while , his wood house has been crammed with wood and coal,' which he could not' prevail on himself to use. In very cold wea ther he would frequently get bv some of his neighbours' fire to warm his shivering limbs, and, wh en evening came, retire to bed for warmth, but generally without a candle, asJie allowed himself only the bits left of those provided for divine service in the church by .1 the parish. He was never known to keep ajdogcat, or any other liv ing creature; and it is certain that the whole expenses of his house did not amount lo half a crown a week for the last twenty .years: and, as the fees exceeded that sum, I he dfvrays saved the whole ot his salary, which nver was more than Je50 per annum. By constantly placing this sum in the Funds, andthe interest,! with about 30 per annum more, (the rent of two small estates left by some relations) he, in the course of 43 years, amassed many Ithousand pounds, as his bankers. Mess. Childs 8c Co. of Fleet street, can testify. In his youthful days he made free with the good things of this life; and when he first came to Blewberry, he for some time boarded with -a person by the week, and during that time he was quite cor pulent; but as soon as he boarded and lived by himself, his parsimony overcame his ap petite, so that at last he became reduced al most to a skeleton. He was always an ear ly riser, being seldom in bed after break of day, and, like nprly, all other early risers, he enjoyed an excellent state of health; so that for the long space of forty-three years he omitted preaching only two Sundays. His industry was such, that he wrote With his own hand upwards of one thousand ser mons; but for the last few years his hand be came tremulous!and he wrote but little; he therefore only made alterations and addi tions 'to his former sermons, and this gene rally on the back of old marriage licenses, or across old letters, "as it would have been nearly death to him to have purchased pa per. His sermons were usually plain and practical, and , his funeral d iscourses were enerally"admired, but the fear of being no jiccd and the dread of expense, was an ab solute prohibition to his sending any thing to the press, "although he y as fully capable, being skilled in the English and Latin lan guages. I he expense of a penny m the postage of a letter has been known to de prive him ot a night's rest l and yet we must do him the justice to acknowledge thatat times pounds did l.ot grieve him. , He was a regular and liberal subscriber to the Bible, Missionary and other societies for the pro pagation of thp Gospel and the conversion of the ' Jews, and he has more than once been generoa enough to give a pound oi two to assist a distressed fellow creature. Jldarm meetings in this S,crc.-N otices have been published, calling public meetings in Carteret and Pasonotank counties, for tho purpose of concerting njeasures to form art Electoral Ticket for Mr. 'Adams in this St ate j and some of his friends appear to ho very sanguine in their anticipations of a fa vorable result. But the signs of the times augur.lheir defeat the voice of the people predicts their disappointment. They may form a Ticket; that Ticket maybe support- ' ed by several respectable names; hut when compared with the Jackson Ticket, in point of numbers, we feel assured its support will not be respectable. The information which we receive almost daily from every section" of the State, from men of intelligence and undoubted veracity, Js too unfavorable to tho cause, .f Mr. Adams, to Ueave -room i"or n m omensxl bubtT " ThV tide of public 6 pin? ioh'is sejtting strongly against him, and we are justified in the assertion, whatever may be the impression made on the public mind abroad by the misrepresentations of tho press,; and erroneous statements through o ther mediums, that nojnan here with sound sense and any thing like general infdrma tion, considers him as gaining ground , in North Carolina. On the contrary, it is our honest conviction that every candid man will acknowledge that the cause of General Jackson was never more prosperous in tnis State; and we are fully persuaded that North Carolina will give him a much lar ger vote at the next, than she did at the last election; the increase of the 4'minori ty' to the contrary notwithstanding.

Mr; King went to Eng land, continued there about twelve months, pocketed between twenty and thirty thou sand dollars, and returned home without doing any thing -for thepeople we mean. Mr. Gallatin was then tlispatched to London, with an outfit of 89000, a salary of S9000, and other contingencies; and now he is a bout to return home, after pocketing a large sum of money, and to what end, no body.as yet knows. Another minister, with outfit, salary, ' &.c. is now; to be appointed; and thus will the people's money continue to bo wasted, sq long as John Q. Adams remains in office. Pet. Old Dominion.
