VICE PRESIDENT'S
ADDRESS TO THE SENATE.
Senators: In directing Ihe Vice
Fiesident lo preside at the deliberations
ol this body, ihe constitution of our
country assigns to him a sphere and a
Witty alike eminent and grateful. With-1
cut any ofthe cares ol real power, with'
none of the responsibilities of legisla
tion, except in rme conjunctures, he is
esocialci! with the dignified delegates
if republican sovereignties, he is posted
by trie entire American people in your
confederated council, partly, it would
seem, as an organ of Freedom's funda
mental principle of Order, and partly,
jicihaps, as a mete symbol of that 'more
.popular and more peifect union' on
which depind ihe blessings of our
Peace, Independence and Liberly.
His mission tranquil and unimposing
is yet noble in its orig'n and objects,
and happy, as well as proud, in its re
lations lo you.
No one. gentlemen, can appreciate
more highly or recognize more defer
entially, than does the incumbent of
(his chair, the powers, privileges, and
rules or forms of the Senate of tin
United States. To maintain these un
impaired and unrelaxed, he feels to bp
an official duly, second in impressive
obligation only to his Constitutional al
legiance. To their exeiciso the Repub
lic owe incalculable good; and through
ihem has been gradually achieved a
widespread fume of wisdom, justice,
moderation and efficiency, unsurpassed
by any assembly of statesmen in former
or present limes.
A Calm and wall-adjusted sylem of
action in this chamber, carefully devised
and bteadily pursued by those who have
preceded us in it has indeed largely con
tributed to the undoubted success of our
great political experiment. Instability,
haste, procrastination, discourtesy, and
indecision, habitually discountenanced
end banished , leave, in undistuibecl
supremacy here, tire powers of enlight
ened reason, and the vigour of practical
patriotism. Our country reaps thence
solid and substantial advantages in
her policy, institutions, prospects and
-renown.
The citizen whom it has pleased
people to elevate by their suffrages fiom
he pursuits of private and domestic life-
may best evince his grateful sense ol
the honour 7thus conferred, by devoting
his faculties, moral and intellectu il.
resolutely to their service. This
shall do, yet with a diffidence unavoida
ble to one conscious thai almost every
Step in his appoinied path is to him new
and untried, and sensible how danger
ous a contrast must occur in '.he trans
fer of powers frjm practised lo unprac
tised hands.
;In obspivine, however, upon this
floor, n number of those experienced
bod skilful statesmen on whom Ihe
nation justly looks wi:h pride and
reliance, 1 am assured that there can
be but little dangei of public disadvan
tage from inadvertencies or mistakes,
which their counsel may readily avei
or rectify.
And thus gpnllemen, while ciminn
Lankly and impartially to exercise the
functions of an unaccustomed station
in the spirit of the constitution, for tin
enlarged and lasting purposes of a re--rered
country, and with sincere good
will towards all, I may cherish the en
couraging hope of being able, wih the
assent of an indulgent l'lovulenee, si
once to perform my duty, and lo mind
you confidence.

send the 'Democrat1 to every post office in
the county .free of charge fur transporta

were adopted, ..nubia County bears

The committee appointed in pursuance
of the last resolution, respectfully submit in
the consideration ol the citizens of tho eo'in

M'tvaiions upon this subject of gcneial in
terest to thain.
STATEMENT.
Great inequalities have been discovered
in the burdens imposed by the Stale on the
several counties; some paying more,
and some less than their fair proportion of
the generil burden. The Doaid of Reve-
me Commissioners, now silling at Harris
tiurg, will, it is hoped.i'oriPct these inequal
Hies. Il was created specially lo that end
is members have been judiciously selected.
And we trust that full information will be
laid before tlieai in every instancs of com
plaint, so that they may act intelligently
nd correctly, Columbia county, for one,
has just cause for uttering a note of com
plaint, amid ihe general clamor that de
nounces the present apportionment of ibr
is
Slate taxes. And w e Uucl that her voirp.
mall though it bs, will meet with at prompt
attention as that of any of her moie gigantic
sisters. A coniparison between the amount
of Slate Taxes assessed upon the counties
of Columbia nsd Luzerne, for instance, will
show good grounds lor complaint on the
part of the former.
From the report of the AuJitor General
of January 29, 1815, we ascertain the fol
lowing facts.
AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS.

The amount receivod from the Stale
freasnry for School purposes during the
same psriod, of four years, was : to Co-
luml ia county, $20, 100 to Luzerne,
$29,982
The valuation of property, (Triennial
Asxei-Bment,)
In 1811 in Cohnnbis, was 81.208,595
In 1813 in Luzerne, $1,017,217 !
It appears then, thai Columbis has had
neatly an equal amount of State Taxes us
sesscd upon her ns Luzsnih has had ihnt
he has received, about two third as muel
money fiom the Slate for Schools and
dial the total valuation of property , real am:
personal, in Columbia exceeds thrlofLu
zerne $251,319 !
From ihis report of the Auditor (Jci.cra
ii may oe reiresning to nirn to tnu census
leiurns for information in regard to ihe
comclncss of this legally ascertained state
ment, thai Luzerne is poorer in taxable pro
perly linn Columbia by $250,000, By the
census we ascertain as follows: popula
lion of Columbia, 24,207 Luzerne 44,000
('including Wyoming) Capitol invested in
coal, &o, in Columbia $1500 Luzerne.
461,700' Number of neat cattle in Colum
ia, 13 525 Luzerne 30,241- Capital in
vested in Manufactures in Columbia cotirm
2GG 487 Liizerno, 860,390. Number
of persons engaged in Agi icultare in Co
lumbia county, 2,399 Luzerne 0 284. In
regard to capital invested in .'lil!s, Colum
bia county stands to Luzerne in the propor
tion of 1 12 lo 41 1 InManuficture of Wool
4 lo 12 in production of Ihy 14 to 34
of Osis 22 lo 34 of Bu"k wheat 00 lo 131
of Potatoes 163 lo 384 -of Wool 31 u,
98-
An Hthliuorisl fcl not shown by the cet
his, bul lobe considered is, that Luzerne
Is about double the size of Columbia, am!
has consequently about tu-'ue as unit h land
subject to taxation- A glance ai the map
is all that is necessary on this point.
From these facts il appears thji Luzerne
h(uld psy a greater amouui ol Tax than
Colunibia; al leasts propoition ns much

LETTER IV.
Madison, Feb. 22? 1815
Draii Nui'iikw.
There is a great fault in
so.no persons of constantly etiibelishiug or
x.igtfer.iiiiw every anecdote whicli they in
troduce into conversation, Such ocrsous
ire scarcely able to tell a tale as they heard
it, lor while they were listening to il their
ingenuity was al work, adding a Mile in
one place, parinjr off a little ii an olher.nnd
bringing the whole story into such a shape
as might appear most humorous or instruct
ive to themselves. The disposition lo em
belish arises from a desire to please and a
vainly ol appearing smart. Exaggeration
usually robs nn anecdote of its simplicity
and accordance with nature, which are the
very grounds upon which it is pleasing;
and surely Hie reputation of wit is ptirchas
ed at too dear a rate when litiih is exchang
ed for it. A person of this habit was once
lelliog an PX'iggeraicd lale to Aristotle and
thinking the philosopher could not but be
pleased with Hie naratior., finished with say
nig, "is not this wuuderlulr 'ISo, replied
Arisloile, 'but il is wonderful that any one
having feet would slay to (war you through.'
I am desirous that yon always avoid an
ither fault which arises from the same sour
cs, namely a canting kind of conversation
I mean, do not affect a sensibility, ami feel
ing in regard lo morality, and religion,
wfcich is not real. You will soon be detect
ail, and it cannot fail tu render you con
iHinptible and ridiculous. If you are devoid
ol reeling on these suljec.is slame nuhi
effectually lo close your mouih, bul if you
roal.y feel, as I hope you do, lei thai feeling
itself, keep you from elfeciing inorf zal
ban you possess. Bul there is another
kind of cant which you cannot have failed
to notice, and 1 hope could not hear without
indignation: il is that of young men who
ridicule, and pretend lo despise strict rhris
dan morality, while they in reality admire
it. They do so probably fro n the mistaken
notion that they lise in the esteem of those
who hear them, and laugh and applaud their
witticisms. Bul 'the real hardened wicked'
who esteem a manf'if their approbation can
be called esteem) lor ridiculing these sub
jects 'are lo a lew resliicted.' Hundreds
will laugh and applaud such canting, who
disapprove of it, and will remember the
canter only lo speak evil of him afterwards
for il. Bul I hope you stand in no need of
being farther admonished on this subject.
Dr. Franklin in bis life written by him
self, says, that vaniiy should be considered
as one ol the blessings bestowed upon us by
providence, and ho iiisis s that we ought to
thank (iod for it. If the Doctor's view is
correct, how many young persons havo the
greatest reason lo be tlrtiiikfulf With what
heartlelt devotion, should those adore the
giver of all good, whose walk and motion,
whose expression of countenance, and loni
of voice all indicate, that in iheir own esti
maiion they are superlatively w ise, good,
and beautiful? Bul whatever causes fur
thankfulness they may have, the vain have,
never been remaikable for giiiiiliidi'.perh'ips
became they tre so much absorbed in the
contemplation ol their ow n exi elluticie s,lhai
Ibey furgel every thing else.
But why does Frakhn think vanity i.
blessing? It is a principal of action, and
prompts the individual possessed of a, to
strain every nerve to appear a great in the
eyes of others, as l.e does in his o.vn. Ig
noraiit and silly fellows would do nothing, il
they saw themselves as others see them,
bul, believing ihat they are fit for any l!iinj
ihey try every f7n7i,and so find something
dial they can do. The less good sense am;
discernments man has, the more vaniry be
needs to set him al woik Nature hag (lis
rihu'.ed it among mankind in accordance
with this maxim, giving but li'tle of it lo
the man whose knowledge of himsell, and
of society is sufficient lo make him act, but
'ipsiowing immense quantities of it or
hose who hive nothing Cise lo make them
move,

What vtuiiU in hlooil und nj)int,swilliwith wind

kindly bestowed on all to whom ense is
