" We are not in fubordina " tion here, ready to receive ,any thing " whicli (hall be condescendingly pro. " pagated from the feat of govern " inent." Knowing the men I put my own confliuftion on this antifederal or anarchical lentiment, and have a right so to do, until it is explained a •zvay. At the fame time, lam happy to afTiire the public, that a liberal and federative principle only pervades the national plan of the Columhianum.— The two impudent circumllances which I have are far furpafTed in a declaration, that the Knights of the Museum have now some new inten tio is of aflu.Tiing a national ground, which they have hitherto formally and publicly deprecated " as absurd, pre fumptu us and impracticable" and which has been al.noft the only fubjeft of mif underfla iJing between theifl and the founders of the National College ; this, after their rtisny intrigues to reduce the patrk>tiim of the members of the Co lli mbiaiuim, to their particular views, some of which have appeared in public as resolutions of the Aflociate Artills of Philadelphia at Peale's Museum.— This new cause of quaarrel, after all the differences have been itated as at an end, by the diltindHy separate ground | whicli each party has regillered for , ilx-pii'uliu pTp-*rs, Tvrniich | be too farcical to admit of IVriouscom- ( ment. , A Friend to 4he Peaceful Arts.

In your paper th«re is an error in the ge neric nam«. It is Afclepias fyriaca.— 1 The vulgar names by wh : eh it is known a arefdk-wced, silk-grass andJkua/la-b-ai-ort. I 1 It abounds in this vicinity on hilly land, " and frequently by the way-fide, where it 1 may be colledled in large quantities with little expence. There appears the highest " probability that this plant, in the hands of a an ingenious paper-manufa&urer, may o be used to much advantage, and merits, J at least a fair experiment. The pappus j, of the feeds, well «s the membranes of the rapfults, may be another uieful part ° in the manufacture of paper. w By mixing it with a small quantity a! of cotton, it is carded and spun into a 11 wickyarn for candles, much preferable I rr to cotton alone. Many people make i h tife of it for this purpose.— Bcfides the j'' fyriaca, we have several other species, some of which, it is presumed, would 01 make finer and much whiter paper. w The bett time for collcfting the capsules m will be about the time jof the firft Au tumnal froft.
