It destroys the good habits of industry and sobriety, begets habits of intemperance, causes quarrels, litigation, and often blood shed. In a political point of view, the conse quences of tlie practice are highly pernicious. Electioneering or courting popular favor bv giving spirits, equalizes the pretensions of tne bloc Knead and tne man ol sense oi the knave and the honest man since these means of winning favor being equally in, the power of all who can command and squander mo ney, the choice of the people is no longer directed to the merits of the candidates. The sycophant, who gives most brandy, who enlists the greatest number of drunkards in his cause, he whose supporters can make him most noise, is most likely,' while this practice continues, to carry, his point ; while sober, sedate and pious men, turn with disgust from the tumult of such a poll ; men of moderate estate, however meritorious, unwilling to , purchase popular favor by debasing them selves and corrupting the people, are driven from such a contest ; and the election but too often results in the choice of a man to di rect the destiny of the State, whom the sober sense and reflection of the people would ne ver have thought worthy of confidence, even in the minor concerns of interest. Such a practice, so destructive of the morality of the people, -and so hostile tot the excellent prin ciples of our republican government, deserves the highest reprobadon and the firmest op position, j The Grand Jury, therefore! present the practice of treating persons to and at the elec tion, as a nuisance meriting the correction of the law ; and they severally invite the fathers of families, professors of religion, the zealous friends of ' republican government, and .all who honor virtue and detest vice, to unite their efforts to discourage and to suppress the practice of treating with spirits at elec tions.

Let the fall of man, with that depravity of nature which marks our apostate race, enter into all your discourses. ' Insist at all times upon the necessity of conversion of heart and of the renewing influences of the Holy Spirit. Honour the sacraments ol the church as the medium of divine communication. Teach your, people that without holiness of heart and life, " no man shall see the Lord." Hold ' up the Saviour to their view, " a the way; and the truth, & the life" as the atonement for the sins of the whole world as the only door uy which aianen creature can filler into OUSS. Proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ, as the son of God the only begotten ci the father the express image of his person as God manifest in the flesh God over all blessed for ever more. j In addition to a faithful expression of the truth, see that 0ur lives are conformed to ; the principles you" deliver.

In f answer to a Resolution of , the Senate, the President of the United States- communicated the following Documents to Congress on the 24th ulti - Don Joaquin de jfnducgd to the Secreta ry of State.. Washington, Marqh 9. 1822. Sir : In the National Intelligencer of this1 day, I have seen the message sent by the President to the House of Repre sentatives, in which he: proposes the re cognition, by the United States, of the in suj gent governments ofSpanish-America. How great my surprise ivas, may be ea sily! judged by any one acquainted with he conduct of Spain towards this Repub lic, and who knows the immense sacrifi ces which she has made' to preserve her friendship. In fact; who could think, that In return for the cession of her most im portant provinces in this hemisphere ; for the forgetting of the plunder of her com merce by American citizens for the privi leges granted toj thejr navy ; and for as great proofs of friendship as one nation can give another, this Executive would propose that'the insurrection of the ultra marine possessions of Spain should be re cognized? And, moreover, will not his astonishment be augmented to see that this power is desirous to give the destruc tive example of sanctioning the rebellion of provinces which have received no of fence from the motht r country, to those to whrm she has granted a participa tion of a free constitution, and to whom she has exttiided all the rights and pre rogatives of Spanish citizens? In vain will ja parallel be attempted tO be drawn between the t mancipation of this Repub lic, and that which the Spanish rebels at tempt; and history is sufficient to prove, that if a harassed and persecuted pro vince i has a right to break its chains, otht rs, loaded with benefits, elevated to the high .rank of freemen, ought only to bless and embrace more closely; the pro tecting country which has bestowed such favors upon them. 1 j : But tven admitting that morality ought to yield to policy, what is the present state of Spanish America, jand what are it go vernments, to entitle them tw recognition ? Buenos Ayres is sunk in the most com plete anarchy, and each day sees new despots produced, who disappear the nex'ii Peru, conqueied by a rebel army, lias near the gates of its capital another Spanish army,ided by part f the inha bitants. In Chili, an individual suppress es the sentiments of the inhabitants, and his violence presages a sudden change. On the co;ist of Firma, also, the Spanish banners wave, and the insurgent generals J ! K occupied in qdarrelling with their own compatriots, who prefer takii.g the part of a free powrr, to ilia of b?ing the slave of an adventurer. In Mexico, too, there is no government, and the result of the questions which the chiefs commanding there- have put to Spain is not known. Where then, are those governments which ought to be recognized ? Where the pled- ges or tneir staouuy r wnere tae prooi, that those provinces will not return to a union with Spain, : when. so many of their inhabitants desire it ? And, in fine, where the right of the United States to sanction and declare legitimate a rebellion, without cause, and the event of which is not. even decided ? I ; I do not think it : necessary to prove, that if the state of Spanish America were such as it is represented in the message ; that if the existence of iss governments were certain and established ; that if the impossibility of it? re-union with Spain were so indisputab e ; and that if the jus tice of its recognition were so evident, the powers of Europe, interested in gaining the friendship of countiies so important for their commerce, would have been neg ligent in fulfilliug it. But, seeing how distant the prospect s of even this result, and taithtul to the ties which unite them with Spain, they await the issue of the contest, and abstain from doi ga gratuit cus injury to a friendly government, the advantages of which arc doubtful, and the odium certain. Such will be that which Spain will receive from the United States, in case ;the recognition proposed m the messnge should take effect ; and posten ty will be! no less liable; to wonder, that the power which has received the roost proofs ot the friendship ot Spain, should be the one delighted with being the first to take a step which could have ovly been expected from another that had been in jured. !-. Although I could enlarge upon this dis agreeable subject, I think it useless to do so, because the sentiments which the mes sage ought to excite in the breast, of every Spaniard can be no secret to you. Those which the King of Spain will experience, at reeeivmg a notification so unexpected, will be doubtless very disagreeable ; and at the same time I hasten to communicate it to his Majesty, I think it my duty to protest, as J do solemnly protest, against tne recognition of the governments men tioned of the insurgent Spanish Provin ces 6f limerica. by the United States, de claring that it can in no way, now, or at any other time, lessen or invalidate ifi the least the right of Spain, to the'iaid Pro vinces or to employ whatever means may be in her poivir. id re-umte them to the rest of her dominions. , . I pray you, sir, to be pleased to lay this protest before the President ; andlflatter myself, that, convinced - of the solid rea sons which have dictated it, he wilV sus pend the measure which he has proposed to Congress, and that lie will give to his Catholic Majesty this proof of his friend ship and of his justice. I remain, with the - most distinguished consideration, prayiug God to guard your ite many years, your most obedient Mum ble servant, . JOAQUIN DE ANDUAGA.

Your letter ot, the 9th ot March was. immediately after Iliad tnp honor of receiving it, laid before the President of the United States, by whom it has been deliberately considered; and by whose di rection I am, in replying to it,' to assure y u of the earnestness and sincerity with which this government: desires to ' eriter tain and to cultivate the most friendly re- This "disposition has been manifested not only by the uniform course of the U. States in their direct political and com mercial intercourse with Spain, but by the friendly interest which they have felt in the welfare of the Spanish nation and by the cordial sympathy with which they have witnessed their spirit and energy, exerted in maintainingtheir independence of all foreign control, 4and their right of self government, j , . i In every question relating to the inde pendence of a nation, two principles are involved, one of right land the other of fact. The former. exclusively, depending upon the determination: of the nation it self, and the latter resulting from the sue cessful execution of that determination. This right has, been recently exercised, as well by trte Spanish nation in, Europe, as by several of those countries in the Ame rican hemisphere, which bad for two or three centuries been connected as colonies with Spain. In the conflicts which have attended these revolutions, the U. States have carefully : g rained from taking any partjespecting me right of the nations concerned in them to maintain or new or- ganize their own -"political constitutions, and observing, wherever it was a contest by arms, the, most impartial neutrality. But the civil war in which Spain was for many years involved with the inhabitants of her colonies in America, has, in sub- j stance, ceased to exist. Treaties equiva lent to an acknowledgment of indepen dence have been concluded by the Com- j manders and Vice Roys of Spain herself, with the Republic ot Colombia, with Mex ico and! with Peru ; while, in the provin ces of .La Plata and in Chili, no Spanish force has for several )ears existed to dis pute the independence which the inhabi tants ofjthose countries hap! declared. ?!?. Under these circumstances, the govern ment of the United States, far from con sulting dictates of a policy questiona ble in its morality, has yielded to an obli gallon of duty of the highest order, by re- cognising as independent states, nations, winch, 'after deliberately asserting their right to! that character,, had maintained and established it against all the resis tance which had been or Could be brought to oppose it. This recognition j - neither intended to invalidate any right, of Spain, nor to affect the employment of any means which she may yet be liisposed or enabled to use, with the view of Tt-unking these pro vinces' to the rest of her dominions. It is the,' mere 'acknowledg j.ent of existing tacts, with the view to the regular estab lishment with the nations newly formed, of those relations, political and commer cial which it is the moral ooiigation oi civilized and christian nations to entertain j reciprocally with One another. It will not be necessary to discuss with ou a detail of facts upon which your in formation appears to be materially differ ent fi;om that which has been communi cated to this eovernment. and is of public notoriety ; nor the propriety of the tie- nominations which you have attributed to the inhabitants of the South-American Provinces. It is not doubted, that other' and nore correct views of the wholexsub ject will very shortly be! taken by your government, and that it, j as well cs the other European governments, will shew- tad States, which you urge it as the duty or the policy of the United States to shew to t.eirs. The effect of the example of one independent nation upon the councils and measures ot another Can oe just, only so far as it is voiuutary; and as the. Uni ted States desire that their example should be followed, so it is their intention to follow that of others! upon no other principle1. They confidently rely that the time is at hand, when all the governments of Europe friendly to Spain, and Spain herself, will not only concur in the ac knowledgment cf the independence of the American nations, but in the sentiment that nothing will tend more effectually to the welfare and happiness; of Spain, than the universal concurrence in that recog nition '. , i".
