' ct Many of the opinions which this work contains, arc bold; some of them are novel; andfa-nedoubtlefsareer roneous —but that which ought to endear it even to t..oJe j whose principles it may offend, is the strength of ment adduted in it to prove, that peace and order molt ct~ fecftually promote the happiness after which Apolitical re- j formers are panting that as ihe progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate - and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to - viduals (for that rcfult comparatively would be of small , account) but to the general cause of truth.. It is the cp pofiteof this principle that infpirei the enemies of politic al enquiry with so much terror ; it is the fuppofitiqn change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and' injustice of commotion \ and that innovation caijnot be < made without the interven - ion of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed'. Under the conviction of this philanthropic fentimcnt, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully il lustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without fcruplifirft to en quire into present evil, through its effintial branches, and , next to demon ft rate future good. " Dividing his work into eight books, and malting the IMPORTANCE or POLITICAL INSTITUTION* tlie fil%& of the firft, he begins by an attempt to prove th? omnipo tence of government over the moral hzbits of mankiad ; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend."

The votes for were c about 2250, on an average-—tor Senators, 1 I4 3 * J That is, more than half the vote* for the federal ; ticket, are prrfons who have freeholds of i ool* value. I For the oppofitiou members of afiemWy, -the votes averaged about 1740—f.>r tjie Senators only J 575, or less than a third—so that more than two t thirds of the voters for the opposition ticket, have 1 no real property o£any value. I From the beginning of government to this day, : the fad hat been invariably the' fame- faction has found materials to work with among the poor and ignorant. Indeed it cannot be ojHsw.fe—ambitious awn cannot make tools of the well-informed, and, in general, of property are better informed < than the labouring poor, who have had no advan tages of education. Hence wlieo we fee men set- ; ting up for the friends of the poor, and making a ! 1 proclamation about their patriotism, they are to oe -I set down, dangerous men--men not to be trailed. 1 When petitions were circulated in tbis city, in ; favor of the Treaty, the Argus told us, " That , was not the way to obtain the Jenfe of tpe people." i The ele&ion was-tben to be the criterion of public opinion. * As the ele&ion resulted in favor of the friends 'of government by large majorities—one solitary Senator and some dozen or fifteen AiL'mblymen, out of more than a hundred, being all that oppoli- 1 f tion can boaftof— it is desired to know whether the Argus will now admit the tlcß'.oa to be the criterion of public opinion and the sense of the people. Extract from MR. FINDLEJf's VINDICATION. From the Pittlburgh Gazette of 17. " Having an opportunity of a waggon darting that day to Gfeenlburgh which I did not expe£t a . gain during my continuance in thecrity, I had pre pared to ftnd np a trunk wi'.h a variety of goodi for my family and some of my neighbours, but left 1 the charge of it with a boy to have it secured and brought to the waggon, and he not being able, to clole the trunk so as to lock it, left it in Market ilijr tlic.vutc woul<Tb~e tak en without further difculTion, I declined paying " any attention to the goods, though called on for that purpsfe, 'till it appea/ed almost certain that , the question would not be taken till the time of ad > journing, if at all that day. It is well known that ' when once a difcufiion commences with us on any ' important question the vote is rarely taken till near * or aftpr the usual hour of adjournment. The vote v on the call for papers relative to the treaty, though it -had been difi-alfed nearly three weeks, was not e titken till after three o'clock. Capt. Robert Dick ' ey, of G.ieeufburgh, and Mr. Stonemeitz, a re- fpeftablc merchant in Philadelphia, can teftjfy wbe ' ther my call to go out was not urgent, and whether 1 was not anxious to return bifove the vote would be taken. Before I went -out 1 observed the gentleman who had newly ttken the floor branch out his argument 5 in ftich a manner as to induce me to expect a long diicourfe, but not trusting to my own opinion, I confulted two other members viz. Mr. Gregg and Mr. Gillefpie, who thought I fafely go out. - 1 I did not expe<st-to be detained half an hour ; but c the member who was speaking dropped his argu " ment so suddenly, that Mr. Page, with whom I conveifed at theontficle of the door as I went out, did not get in till the quellioii was called and but barely in time to anfwtr to his name. In other public bodies a member n\ay have his vote taken if he appear before the result of the vote is Hated, or » even afterwards, if his vole does not change the I state of the question, but by our rules the name is 1 not admitted if the member does not answer when j his name is called in course, Mr. Sedgwick, the e ! member who was on the floor, is as f«ldom charge e ! able with disappointing the house of a long argu- raent when he takes the floor, as I am from being .j absent on an important vote. When he took the j. floor oh the call for papers, though the house wait d cd till after the usual hour of adjournment, he told - me he had net gone half through with his argument; £ snd I appeal to the journals of all the publy bodies in which 1 have ever fat, and :o thofc who have fat . with mc in tliofe bodies, to teftify if ever it was my pra&ice to avoid a question. It is known th*t - I have voted on questions of Itill greater importance £ than a British treaty, and in circumstances more un toward than appeared on this occasion, for not with . itanding the pains that was taken to promote agita -- tion, there was no mobbing in the lodgings,"nor - j hifling in the galleries during the treaty dilcuffion." y Extraa from the Pit {/burgh Gazette, of the fame date. e "It has been insinuated in "extra&i of letters" r t,iat Pind'lev did not leave his place for the purpofc of evading the refponfihility of a vote; but, that, not cxpefting the question to be taken so immedi! - ateiy,'he wa«. absent for a short fpnee of time on an emergency of some business of his own which demanded his attention. This is not so honorable soT ,he representative. His prefencc was due to .. the public from the firft mon».it of the fefiion of the houie to the last j and on those day-- especially when every moment vras pregnant, if I -nay f oex . press it, with taking the queltion, the absence of a moment was unpardonable on any other principle but Bfcrffi'y of nature itfeif, sickness, Sic. The | discipline of the Senate is not like that of the field, *| | where rlefertion of a poR 'ncitrs trial and punish. men', it* some cases capital ; yet in the moral nat. ure of the there is a great offence, and derr li£iion of duty. A want of punctuality in f ma j] affairs, lessens refpeftability, and deflroyn the con. fidence of trust ; hut in great affairs it ruins all cha ladler -totally, and becom?s a crime. A crime al. so of a mean nature, which draws \yjth it contempt I would rather have had it said of mc, -thar Khad been bribed by the French miniller to leave ihe house, and had received a trunk of Iniis d'ors fur tHe fuccumbeney, than that I had been absent for the purpose of fending home a trunk, filled with less valuable articles «i" my ow For it would in volve in itfeif some com that 1 had been worth bribing, and in the Ore cafe I should betho't grest, though a villain. In the other, 1 should in no refpeft, have eitheT vulgar or philofopliicrrl opinion on ray fide. If 1 were at the head of a party, and one of my men should defcrt me at Lch ajunfture, and for such a cause, 1 would cashier him from my pontics for ever. " I admit tMh our rep;efentntives Gallatin and Findley have (hewn courage in refilling thefenfe of ' this country, expressed by the petitions ; vet not so much as may at firft view appeor. They have been in the habit of considering the country as but an automaton in their hands, the machinery of the -public inteile& moved and impelled by them At pleasure ; and in taA they have had confiderabie reafoK, Findley especially, to entertain such ideas. The treaty bias might have beeo conlidered by them 3s a temporary derangement, which, when they came home, tbgy e»uld eafriy set right. " 1 do not charge it to these repiefeptatives a»i any effccV of theH-.managemeM ; hut ti*e fact is ! that abroad, there is nobody of any con. • sequence in this country but thewfelyes, and that they have what araaaota to ation frr.m the peop'e.
