Bachkiorb Mektiwo —A nume
rous and most respectable meeting;
of the bachelors of this city
held last evening, at the Auction
Hotel, No, 125, Water street
Upwards of 500 w*r«. present. Ihe
meeting was add-eased on the sut>»
jeet of the bill introduced into the
legislature of this state, proposing ,
fax upon bachelors. After winch, ,
the following memoi lal was read and
approved of by the meeting.
MEMORIAL. OF THE BACHELORS.
To the honorable the house of assembly (
Os the stale of New York, in legist
' lure, convened at Albany, iu said slate.
The memorial anti remonstrance
of the undersigned bachelors, rcsid- |
ing in the city of New \ oi k, in said
state, humbly showeth :
That your memorialists have seen
with surprise and regret, the copy ol
a bill, said,to be piling before your ,
honorable body; the provisions ol
which they consider unjust, unequal,
& which will, if the said bill should be
passed into a statute law of the state,
and he carried into execution, be
not only oppression, but deadly ami
sorely discouraging to many ol your
memorialists.
They consider those provision < un
ion!, because it has ever been claim
ed in this free country as a right as
well as a privilege for any individu
al to remain single and unmarried it
ho should prefer that slate to one
more usually preferred, viz: matrj- ,
mony. This c.iofee is sometimes, .
the result of necessity, and some- (
times the effect of feeling—in nei- (
ther case can the subject of it be (
pmperly or even consistently with (
good manners and that general re
gard to tbe polite and friendly inter- {
course of life, be called upon to dis- (
close the facts or reasons that may (
have led or forced him to choose; the (
pleasure or submit to the inconveni
cnees, which may be supposed to at- |
tend it. It his happiness is prumot- J
ml by it, he cannot by the very geni- J
us of our government be prohibited
or punished for indulging himself
“in the pursuit of happiness”—if (
he is more iliiserable than those wao
engige in tbe cares rr partake in the |
fclicines of married life, he is an ,
object of commiseration, rather than
of punishment, and ought rather to
be pitied than taxed.
In many instances, your honorable
body, from a general acquaintance
with mankind, cannot be ignorant
that many bachelors are such, not by
choice, but ,bjr necessity; that the
miseiies of the condition are of ]
themselves such as ought to soften
the most obdurate heart, rather than j
call forth upon them pecuniary pc- (
rialtics Tnoy.appeal to such indi (
vidimls in your honorable body ns
are in the full enjoyment of all the (
blessings which are considered as na- .
turally flowing.from counubial lile, .
whether they would change situa- (
tions with us, destitute as we are of
tiiose felicities, for a much larger j
c- upensatiou than the whole amount
of (lie bachelors’ tax? Then why
should our misfortunes and miseries
be iaxed, while their felicitiesare en
joyed without tin! imposition of any ■
pecuniary burden ? Is not the en
durance of misfortunes, of solitude,
the a.*B»'iiccof comfort and joy, cala
mity sufficient, without superadding
tbe weight of oppressive taxation?
But your memorialists respectful
ly suggest that nothing can be more
obviously unjust than to tux bache
lors, because they are bachelors,
thus indiscriminately If s»Uch a
penalty must be inflicted upon this
class of society, justice requires
that it should not fall upon those who
are, unwillingly, members of the un
fortunate fraternity- It is well
known by the experience of ages,
that the numan affections are not
subject to human control; that they
place themselves upon such objects
as they lit, without consulting n-a
son, probability of mutual regard, or
even the hope of reciprocity. Being
thus liable to be the sport of an over
ruling necessity, our after (ions take
to themselves wings and fly towards
such objects as fancy may point out
and frequently laud the unhappy
subject in a situation mortifying,
distressing and hopels.es; and under
the influence of defeat, and conse
quent despair, he is drawn to the
•ad alternative of making a match
of mere speculation, either picuni
ary or whimsical, or to remain as he
is. the victim of misplaced affection
and mortifying defeat. hall such a
nun be placed on a footing with a
cold hearted, miserly, money-loving
bachelor,’ who remains, single lor
fear of espouse, or for the more sor
did fear of making himselfand
other per* on happy?—The difference
between tlie two cases is too'great
• ' aottobe disgynedj th© injustice of
involving them in au equal penalty
ij a too obvious not to be left and ac
knowledged. .. .
But your memorialists would most
earnestly remonstrate against the
terms of the proviso in the second
section of the bill; in which,after
providing that bachelors shall be
sworn as to their age—a hardship to
which they have never hcretotore
been subjected—it is declared, that
“if any person shall intentional y
mistake his true age in such affida
vit, atid bcitigduty convicted there
of, shall be adjudged guilty of wick
ed and corrupted perjury.” —Your
memorulists beg leave here respe. t
fll|iy (<> r»m»ik, that though UOt
themselves learned the law, many of
them have frequently been called to
serve their country in the capacity
of grand jurors and petit jurors, and
have often examined bills of indict
ment, and attended trials and given
verdicts in cases ol peijury,and they
have always heard the crime describ
ed as willful and corrupt. Cana
mistake be so denominated? Was
it ever known that a mistake in tes
tify ing, (and gross ones have often
been made hasbeen called or punish
ed as perjury? But we humbly con
ceive that this provision violates a
plain principle of common law, and
therefore ought not to be sanctioned
by the legislature. Your memoralists
have glways understood that the
common la\V was in a great measure
made up of customs, sanctioned by
long usage, and not in themselves
unreasonable. Now what custom
is more uniform or universal, more
venerable even among moralists, than
that of single persons of both sexes
mistaken their ugcsf N >w, •hall a
practice, which is become so com
mon, and has been so long standing
as to form part ol the very structure
of the law itself—that law which
has been declared to be the perlec
tion of human wisdom be changed
into a crime of the blackest dye, and
that conduct which has been consi
dered at least harmless for centuries,
be now converted into an attrocious
felony. -
.Many more objections lie, in the
opinion of your memori»lists, to this
measure; but not wishing to occupy
too g-e&t a portion of the valuable
time of your honorable body, they
will barely suggest one more, and
leave the subject to your wisdom and
justice.
Your memorialists do most earn
estly object to the appropriation of
the taxes collected of the bachelors
to the “Female Literatnrc Fund,”
as the object of such appropriation
must be, as far as they can see,
to qualify *the female sex for more
extensive mischief. If, with tli«
scanty means of mental improve
meut which they now possess,
they can exercise a despotic in
fluence over the stoutest masculine
mind—-if the most lofty spirit, the
most brilliant genius, the most inde
pendent disposition is now forced
to humble iiseif before female skill
and female sovereignty, what may
be expected from it when a large
fund shall be provided by the tax
upon bachelors for more extended
and more multiplied mischief? That
this is mot a mere phantom of minds
too suddenly excited, u bug bear be
fore a bewildered imagination, your
memorialists confidently appeal to the
past experience of inemoers of this
honorable body.
They therefore submit the subject
to the cool consideration of the ho
norahle, trusting to their sense of
justice and expediency, not to" adopt
so unjust and oppressive a measure
as that under consideration—& they
as in duty bound will every pray, i -

Bachelors. —There certainly
can be no intention of passing the
bill now before the axsembly to tax
bachelors; it is out of ail character.
If. men marry they aic taxed, and
if they rettuin single they are taxed.
Such a law would only tend to con
firm the obstinate prejudices of old
bachelors, and induce them to remain
single out of spite to the law. Now
if they would pass a bill granting a
bounty to all bachelors who would
marry, never mind how small; and
tax t«e spinsteri, to pay the sum, we
should have abundance of benedicts;
but to be driven to the altar by a con
stable; to havi afi.fa. directed a

gentlemen who may refuse to enter
the liolv state, old gentlemen who
may refuse to enter the holy state,

Boundaries.—Hounded on the
North by the ocean of avarice,South
by the sea es discord and dissimula
tion; Hast by the streights of misery,
gulf of destiaction and vortex of
dissipation, West by the sea of lust
and ambition.
Extent.—lt extends over a long
space of barren handy land; it is in
habited by a set of fiends and mise
rable creatures.
Division —This island is divided
into four counties and a number of
small tiiwns.
Counties. I 111 will. 2. Hate
all, 3. Little sense. 4. Nonsense.
Chief Town. —The chief town is
dissimulation. In this town ail
arts pf dissimulation are learned ami
pi act iced; in fact the town is so na
med on account ol its productions.
History.—We are verj imperfect
ly acquainted with the history of this
isl nd —lt appears to have iinmerg
ed from thebiak waters of the Mise
ry ahortlv after Atl urn partook of
the forbidden fruit; and thus by this
offence brought misery into the
world, and poured riches upon the
island of Bachelors. We are told
by traveller# that the inhabitants are
a degraded, miserable, wretched,
miserly, set of men, subjec* of broils
and quarrelling,,J&c. They con
verse with no person except their
own inhabitants; thgy both atttnipt
to speak and write against the inha
bitants of Matrimony Island, which
is hardby; they sometimes make a
journey to this island for the purpose
of converting o; inviting the ising
generation of this island to change
their piacc of abode, and come over
and dwell with the inhabitants of
Bachelors Island, but generally when
they make their appearance . on this
business are hooted, acoft’ed and spit
upon; in short they are dispised by
allmations, even from the fair inhab
its of the United States, down to
the blackest inhabitant of Africa.
Religion. - The inhabitants of
this island have little or no religion,
Tor in f >;t they live in violation o»
the commands and the laws of God
Commerce. —This Hand export...
great quantities of fruit, (which is
the only thing the soil can produce,)
such as pride, dissimulation, discon

The timtt are hard, says one, because
wheat and corn are low.
The times art very hard, aays the mer
chant, because cloths have fallen five dol
lars in the yard—and nobody buys.
The timet are hard, quoth the landlord,
because my rents have fallen from 50 to 75
per cent.
They are hard, say* the landholder, be
cause my land hasdepreciated 50 per cent.
They art peculiarly'hard, says the que
rulous manufacturer,, because the British
god are pouring in'upon us, and banish',

. Inonfls- My work shops are falling into ru
in, V* my fsaily going tobeggary.
The married man exclaims the
limes, because it is so hard to suppn
family—and the old maid re-eeb

Are goods dear? No; themerch nts
complaint is, they are so cheap, lha. th.y

Domestic goods too are »o cheap, that
the manufacturer complains ol being starv

“ Every thing then is low: —we are a

one moment.—ls all things have fallen,
why complain f If you get less for bread
yoii give less for clothing. If all things
are brought down nearly in the scale of
value, they are comparatively as valuable
as they formerly were —Eggs, vegeta

want, have fallen in price, though not ex
actly in the same proportion; and ha t a

“Aye, but there’s the rub Every
thing may have fallen; but money, has
risen in value “It is because that article
has risen in price (,says the unhappy cre
ditor,) that so many complaints are echoed
through the country. The debtswt,awe
are to be paid in this appreciated stand
aid of value. We have to pay the same
number of dollars, which we contracted
to nay; while the property we hold, Urn
it bears the same comparative value with
other articles of property, .9 worth less m
dollars and cents. It requires there

tity of property to pay our debts as it did
at the moment of contracting them. 1 his
is the cause of my own difficulties, whate
ver may be the case with others who are
not in debt
And this indeed is the true secret of the
embarrassment we hear of. —It is not, that
the cause is a general one, but that it is
fashionable to employ the language of com
plaint. Those who are out of cebl are
scarcely worse off than they were before.
Labour still bears some value ; at least the
same proportion us the other articles
which the labourer may afford to purchase.
Those, therefore, who are not in dent,
ought scarcely to complain of the times.
It is they only who are ground down by

complain I Do -s whining ever relieve the
necessities c.f the poor ? Is it not rather
the part ol a man to put his shoulders to
the wheel—do the best he can—put forth
all ttu faculties which his situation per
mils—work and save ? Are not industry
and economy the two great pillars of nati
onai prosperity ? Some men may thrive by
speculation. Fortune ma) smile propiti
ously upon others. But these constitute
the exception,- and not the rule. For one
who gets rich in this way, there are hun
dreds who ootain a competency by a labor
that never winks, and a frugality that never
tires. Look around us, and see the pillars
that bavc been laid prostrate. Are most
of them your pains-taking, hard-working,
and saving men, or men who wished to
take bold strides to fortune ? many of them
are honest, honorable ; and some of them
industrious men—but those, who worked
slow ami worked on, are now enjoying
their competency in contentment. It wa»

A London paper of the 11th February 7 I
savs—By an express which arrived yester- 1
day from the continent, we have received
the important intelligence that the mam
division of the Austrian army, consisting ol
60,000 men, broke' up from its quarters
on the right bank of the Po on the 291 h
„lt. with orders to march on Naples A
manifesto has, we understand, been issued,
announcing the invasion to be made, not
bv Austria as a separate power, but as a
member* and in the name of the Holy Alli
ance, On that basis all intention « dis
claimed of occupying Naples with the
view of territorial aggrandizement, but
solely for the purpose of dictating such a
form of constitution to the Neapolitans as
may be consistent with the safety of their
neighbors. An outline of the lorm of
government meant to be imposed as the
ultimatum of the Allied Powers, fe.a been
despatched toNaples, for the consideration
ol parliament, who will be allowed a short
time, some letters say, only two clays,to
deliberate on the proposition- Meantime
the Austrian army will advance to Rome,
to receive the answer of the Neapolitan
parliament; but as there is little doubt
that the high and spirited tone assumed
lately by the nation will produce an indig
nant rejection, it is expected that a \ery
few postswill communicate an attempt, at
least on the part of the Austrians, to occu
py the fortified posts of the Neapolitan
frontier. The proposition to the Parlia
ment of Naples ia signed by the Emperors
of Russia and Austria and t ic King «f Prus
sia. It is mentioned, but we fed dispo
sed to withhold oar credence on that head,
that the name of the king of Naples is ah
so iffixedtoit.
A letter dated Trieste, Jan. 16, says:—
“We hear positively from Laybach, and on
good authority, that the old king of Na
ples has distinctly refused to in‘o a
ny of die arrangements proposed to Him,
avowing his determination to adhere strict
ly to that form of constitution to which he
has taken the rath. This unexpected
firmness of course puts an abrupt conclu
sion to the deliberations, ami the Congress
is expected io br-sak up immediately —As
soon as the disposition of the king of Na
ples was known, orders were forthwith
transmitted to Mdan, the head-quarters of
the army, to put the troops in motion; and
all persons who have entered into engage
ments to supply forage, provisions or o
ther necessaries, have been culled upon
for the immediate fulfilment of their con
tracts.— The Emperors are expected in
less than ten days to be in this place.
By letters from Trieste, w r e Icann that
the Austrian fleet, in that port, consisting
of two sail of the line and three frigates, be
aides numerous vessels of a smaller claa>,
are under orders for immediate service.
The garrison of Trieste has received in
structions to march to head quarters at
Milan, but they are to lie repl ced by o
ther troops; and the Austrian ports on the
Adriatic are directed to be put in a state
of defence. Thus, after a peace of six
years, the flame of war is rekindled in
Europe; and if Naples should possess the
nower of bearing up against the Austrians,
it may be loug before it is again extiu
guislied. Thu’ the advance of the Aus
inan troops was expected at Naples, n
suspicion existed that ft was so near at
hand.
A London paper of the 4th, say»:—A re
port was current yesterday, that his inajes
ty intended to sacrifice a part of his in
come, and that he bad graciously declared
his intention of complying with the wishes
of his people, for the restoration of her
ma jesty’s name in the Liturgy.
We understand, that in consequence or

mission of the Queen’s name in the Litur

Church service, in which the names of the
Queen and the Uuke of York will be inser

ded is already determined.

Liverpool, have been presented to parlia

A newreturn was ordered of the amount
ofthe National deb‘, foreign loans sinking

that the expenditures of 1821 would be
