WAR .WITH ' ENGLAND ..
The democrats, both in and oat of Con
p-'ss, !oM up the idea of an-immediate
:rv with F.ncrland. It would be the part
o' wise mtn (but our toilers unfortunately
ar - r,it rise) to look at the consequeuces
whih will neccsarilv result from such a
:ur,-- before they adu)t it; to exa
? V.5ie the situation of our country, and ask
V ether we yare fully prepared to enter m-
to a contest 1 with the first naval, and the
s f?nd military power p the iworld ?"(And
vj at must be the inevitable consequences
rftnjracringin a war unprepared for the
-conflict? As our rulers dd not choose to

to a well appointed, well disciplined army,
a strong naval force must have invented iu
B ut- whit will there now be to prevent G.
Britain,! at her pleasure,' from throwing
in supplies sufficient ta bii defiance to any
assailing force? Will the redoubtable ;gun r'
boats, or , FultonVf torpedaesi be ; sent to
scare ay ay the. British navy But the
subject is too serious for ridicule. Though
in reviewing the conduct of our rulers,we
experience cvy much the same'iuccession
of sensations which Burke, observes was
felt in vile wing the tragi-comic scene of the
French revolution -u Alrernite contempt
and indignation i alternate scorn and hot'
ror alter naif laughter :nl tears'' In an
imadverting upon the fepy of their mea
sures, itUs hard to be serious ; in rcfl -ct
ins upon the direful consequences which
ok Ihave resulted and will result to our coun-
7 50trv from them, it hard to repress our in
q0jdignation we will, however, strive to
repress both, as far as possible, and dis
cuss the subject before us with due gravity
and temperance. We say then we shall
have no aval force to invest this plact by
water, and prevent England Jrom throw
ing in supplies of all kinds. We shall not
have a well appointed regular army ; and
with the present men at tb licad of pur
government, and Wilkinson at the head
of our army, our resources will not be
fully called and ably directed. What then
nre we to look lot from such a attempt
bu disaster and disgrace.?
So much for the, war as it will be offen
sive. And our rulers seem to forget that
it will be any thing else. i-They calculate
that English statesmen are as weak and in
capable as themselves : and that like us
England will become pliant and maleable
under our blows. But this will hot be the
case. When she sees preparation making
by us to invade her territory, the spirit of
the nation hi be aroused. ; The meanest
mechanic that walks the streets of London,
will, to use the language of Qaeen Eliza
beth, when her dominions were threatened
with invasion by the. Grand Armada, re
sent the, foul scorne that the AmericS&
should dare to invaue their provinces ;;The
Americans vhora thev have seen take
bTows and -.buffets, not ouly tamely but
thankfully from France The ,oid Eng
lish spirit- that spirit which our .ever re.
nowned forefathers , possessed which
sometimes slumbers, will be awakened.
She will arouse herself like the Lion, when
wounded by the hunter, "wno grows ten
fold more fierce by gaamg on hi wounds."
She will tfrt be passive. Her indignation
will burst in thunder on our defenceless!
devoted cities And what will protect them.M
l ne navy wnicn vv asnmgton recommen
fey es will , be , opened ; and the v will r$ee
with an indignation equal-to their former
fondness, the folly and wickedriesVof those
who have usurped their applause atifd
confidence-Lto Betray them." whoJ have
conducted their country' from astute of un
exampled prosperty and glory to disgrace
and ruin. Thtir confidence so long, a
btised, will, be forever' withdrawn from
men; who are at once the shame and curse
of their country.? The discarded friends
and disciples of Washington who ndw
nurse their grief and their despair, will a
viin be called to the councils of their
:ountry. A new era will commence, and
an age of prosperity and glory will succeed
Vcars of disgrace and calamity.

GAG LAW.
kelson's amendment to the arbi
trary and unconstitutional rule dencmina
td Previous Question" has been reject
ed, so that the Gag-Law is again rivetted
upon the minority. Mr. Nelson, though
a flaming Virginia democrat declared -the
majority . had as niuch right to turn the mi-
nority ouiofdoorsy as to depr'fve , them ,of
tne privilege of clebate. True ! and any
man who would submit to the one would
patiently endure the other. Expulsion is
infinitely preferable to a seat in a represen
tative body where the tyrannical and over
bearing many enforce dumb teghlat 'i on up-
onfthe jew. now would a Chatham hav
aced had such a rule been enforced in,the
British house of Lords or Commons ? Tie
would not have contcnted himself with big
words and harmless flashes ot light from
nis piercing eve, he would have vacated
his seat, turned out among the people and
roused them in deience'ol the constitution
and parliamentary freedom ; he would
have sacrificed his life rather than submit-
to an exercise of the most odious tvrannv
The refusal to expunge this riile conveys
to tour minds proof perfectly satisfactory:
that'the partizans of France4 have no other
object in view than to enforce the non im
portation law at the close of the session.
This -rule is kept' in rt strve for the detea-
tMe and diapolic purposes which Galla
tin has dared to recommend to congress.
If congress rise without going to war with
England, but enforce the. continental svs
tern by the aid of douaniers, custom house
spies, and informers invested with powers
to seize person, break open houses and
search for papers and property, ivhich rue
do most religiously believers thrir'&ole. oo-
fettf the nation is undone, unless the peo
pie nsc in tneir-majesty, and crusn the au
thors ofjhis infamous continental system
The federalists will go to war with any na
tion in preference to a coutinuance of the
system of commercial restraints. But
when they find out, as they wiU tre mhny
months have passed, that all th bluster a
bout war is to prepare, the people for sub
mission to the Napoleon system," theV
deserve to be enslaved if they submit to
such domestic tyranny. The object is to
