The Editor cf a morning paper, dating his receipt by tlie Britifli Packet, Earl of Leicester, ot a. regul ir file of the London Oracle, adds, that though he finds " nothihg of a very important nature in these papers, they contain much inte'esting detail." Now, if the author of this paragraph had not publicly declared himfelf to be realty and truly an American, one would suppose that both he and his' competition were of Hibernian birth. For how in the name of St. Consistency can a paper be *an ablblute negation of the important, and yet contain interesting details ? By the head of Anoi so» and Johnson this is not the way in .Which our ancestors wrote. This is not the English style.

Were you adju sted by that spirit when you created a man a major-general—a man whom the Legisla ture bad but a short time before declared un worthy of an appointment ? Was it the spirit of patriotism which ur ged you to raise . into office another, whom you yourfelf had declared to be destitute of principle ? I Wa9 it—fay, fir, was it the spirit of patriotism winch whispered to your paren- ! tal set lings to appoint two of your children into offices, theiofs of wkicb deprived one , man of his bread, and sent Jnothcr to big grave ?

Sir, the Conditution has confided to you the appointment of nearly all the officers of government; and, in making those appoint ments, however you may (hieldyourfelf under the plea of Conltitutional power, you are and will be responsible to your country for tjie injuries they may occaiion to that coun try.— Yet while your countrymen will seek for some profpecl of good amid the gloom that furrouiids them, they will thank their God, as I do, that the office of Treasurer is beyond your reach, and that the funds of the State are in no danger of being plunder ed by a dealer in certificates, or an Irilli traitor.
