contain far more copious rules for penultimate

other school sybttms, at the same time that it is
more compendious. It is used in the Univer

[From the Boston Patriot.]
LETTER X.
To the Right Honorable George Conning^ First
Lord of the Treasury, &c:
Sir : You observed in your letter to
Mr. Gallatin, that,
“ The only effect of this suspension (viz. the
omission of all the British Colonial authorities
to apply the act of Parliament to ihe commerce
of the United States) was the continuance of
the benefits of the then existing state of things to
the United States for nearly a twelvemonth
longer than they would otherwise have enjoy
ed it.”
I have shown you in my last letter,
that this remark was altogether irrele
vant to the matter in hand. The ques
tion is not whether the continuance of
this state of things was beneficial or not
to the United States; but whether they
were not fully authorized to infer from
the fact, that none of the British colon
ial authorities understood the act of Ju
ly 1825 to apply to the United States,
that it really was not intended to apply
to them.
You very judiciously evade the task
of showing that this was not a fair in
ference. Instead of doing this, you say
“ That continuance was permitted by the
Britiih Governiiient, mainly in consideration of
the then pendency in the Legislatnre of the U-
nited States, of the resolution hereinbefore
mentioned, (or conforming to the conditions of
the act of 1825.”
1 iiave become weary of charging you
with the direct misstatement of impor
tant facts. I beg to repeat, that I as
cribe it merely to the haste in which
your despatch must have been written,
and to a sort of proud and genteel dis
dain of patient investigation.
You say the British Government sanc
tioned the conduct of the colonial gov
ernments in permitting the trade to re
main open, on accoimt of “ the pen
dency of the resolution hereinbefore
mentioned.”
I have shown you that no such reso
lution as you describe was ever moved
So subtly is this web of argumenta
tion woven, that nothing but the closest
attention will suffice to unfold it. The
reader, who will but yield me this in
tention, will not, I trust, regret it.
On hearing that there w’as a bill be
fore the Senate to repeal the discrimin
ating duty, (for that is what you refer
to, though you confound it with a reso
lution which w’as moved in the House
three months before) the British Gov
ernment (it seems) came to the belief
that Congress would not separate with
out passing that bill. “ In that case,”
you go on, “an instruction was sent out
to Mr. Vaughan,” to do what? To ad
mit us in general terms to the privile
ges of the act of 1825 } No. To give
us the right conceded of trading from the
colonies to all other places (the mother
country excepted)? No such thing.
Mr. Vaughan w’as simply instructed to
say, “in that case,” “ that the discrim
inating duties imposed upon American
ships and their cargoes in the West In
dies should'imme^liately cease.”
I beg your c?reful attention to this,
because your partisan presses in En
gland, and ours in America, have ve
hemently maintained that the passage of
Gen. Smith’s bill would have doue no
such thing.
But this is not all. Even the withdraw-
ing of your discriminating duties w;is not
to be bought simply by the repeal of ours
You demanded much more, even for
that concession. I earnestly beg the
attention of my countrymen to this fact,
that if Gen. Smith’s bill had passed, it
would not even have procured the re
moval of your discrimating duties.
What is your language ?
“ In that ca.se,” (viz. that Congress
had passed the bill for the repeal of the
discriminating duties,) and, upon re
ceiving an assurance from the American
Government that the restrictions and
charges on British shipping and British
' What then was the meaning of these
new special instructions to Mr. Vau
ghan?
This is the meaning : that when you
stint them, t>ie idea had not yet occurred
to you, that the act of July, 1825, waS
to break up the negotiation with this
country. This was an after thought^
dexterously caught up by you, to sootho
the clamors of your shipping interest.
So far from brf'aking up the negotia-^
tion, so far from trking the matter, oa*
supposing it taken, out of the subsisting’
(though suspended) negotiation, you in
structed Mr. Vaughan to resume that
negotiation. You toll us what those in
structions were. You say, in case ivo
repealed the discriminating duties, Mr.
Vaughan was to write tlte Secretary of
State a note, telling him tha^- if the Gov
ernment of the United Staterfw’ould far
ther assure you, that the other restric*
tions should be removed, that then your
discriminating duties should cease.
And yet a few lines farther on, you
fin'd the countenance to say, you are
“ At a loss to understand on what ground it?
was assumed at Washington, that there would
be, at alltimt s, an unabated disposition, on tho
part of the British Government, to ^i&ke th»
trade of its West India colonieg the Jibject of
a iliplomatic arrangement.”
W'hy, sir, you must have written thitf
sentence with the same penful of ink
with which you wrote thesentence alittlo
preceding this, telling us that you your
self, at this very stage of the controver
sy, gave Mr. Vaughan new instructions
“ for a diplomatic arrangement” of the
trade,!

Even this poor “ boon” was not to
accrue to us as a matter of course ; an
other proof that you did not yourself in
tend to apply to the United States the
law of July 1825. No, Mr. Vaughan
was, by special instructions^ to inform
the Secret;^ry of State, that these dis-
scriminating duties would cease.
It is scarcely credible (though plain
matter of fact) that you should through
two-thirds of a long letter have argued,
that the act of Parliament of 1825 oifer-
ed, on certain conditions, to the United
Slates, the repeal of all discriminating
duties in your colonies, and u trade
from those colonies to all the rest of
the world ; that you should maintain
that those conditions were so understood
by Congress ; that you should speak of
aa omission to puss Gen. Smith’s bill
(proposing only a repeal of our duties)
Public opinion is rapidly developing it
self. From the East—from the VVes®
and from the North, the news is most
cheering. The violent hostility of tho
leaders of the opposition to Domestic
Industry as protected bv the Woolen Bill
the defeat of the hundred and sixti/
thousand doUarSf Intereht saving bill—tho
violent indiscriminate opposition to the
Administration, right or wrong, and
the bitter peraonal denunciation of the
members of the Government, w^ho have
grown old in the faithful performance
ofpublic service are combined, producin^y
strong reaction, and the People are ral
lying with a firm and cheerful spirit iu
defence of their country.
Village Record,
The editor of the New York Evening
Post, who has recently enlisted as a com
mon soldier in the ranks of the Oppo«i-
tion, is at a loss how to comprehend th«
conduct of Mr. Senator Van Buren who
advocated the “ American system” at
Albany last week, and thus appeared “ia
favor of the project which he so strpngly
opposed at Washington last winter,” This
system of tactics is perfectly consistent
with the whole scope of Mr. V. B’s po
litical life, and before Mr. Coleman cau
become expert in wheeling to the right
and left and to the right about, and march
under his new commander, he mutit take s

“ Immediately upon tbe receipt of authentic
intelligence of these proceedings at Waslung-
tion, an instruttion w as sent out to Mr. \ uughan,
grounded on the belief of the British Govern
ment, that Congress would not separate, with
out adoining the resolution then under their
consideration. In that case, and upon receiv
ing an assurance from the American Govern
ment that the restrictions and charges on Bri-
tich shipping and on British colonial pro
duce, would be withdrawn by tbe United
Sl.ttPS, Mr. Vaiighan was authorized to deliver
a note’to the American Secretary of Slate, de
claring—that tbe discriminating duties imposed
upon American ships anti their cargoes in the
Uost Indies should inimet'.iatly cease. Mr
Vaughan was actually in possession of this in
struction, when the resolution, on the assumed
adoption of which the iiislructitiii to Mr. Vaii-

to ram down nuM-e wadding, at the
moment the match was applied to the

time. No hopes were entertained of his
recovery. The same day, at CJlen’sFalls,
in New-York, three men were injured for
life by a premature discharge of a field
piece. One man had both his arms torn
