When such men as M:.

As to his cry of "I'tutsi cljiliou of the Press,” that is all nonsense, in a o. iso like this, and whore it is the eii'oct,not only ot’ individual opinion and ac tion, lint ol’a solemn conviction ot' its absolute necessity to the | oldie safety and welfare. It is dim m ight folly to assail a mail’s natural t ight to stop his paper when ho pleases, as a “proscrip tion of the Press;” and a pretty kind of liberty wo should have truly, if sueh right could ha dis puted, or even i|UU!>lionoil, with propriety. T'.aeh subscriber has the indisputable right to subscribe when he pleases,and withdraw when he pleases, aceoiding to his own will, or sense of the good or evil of tint paper, either to himself or the j eo plo—and to assort the contrary, is to inako l!to liheily oflho people snfcsorviont to the. hbuily , of the Press, instead of the proper object of it, according to the individual o, inions of each, and the cnmhielois of it—and to make the Press, also, like the present Par ill*maj irily in Cong, ess, in ell’ect, the sole and arbitrary judge of its own conduct, whether right or wrong! S-liall a man be assailed for proseilotion, because he icfnses to emit: ihntc his airl to a newspaper, or anythin” else, which ho considers a nuisance I—and, what it*ho should he wrong in his opinion of it, surely he lias still a full light to act upon that opinion, neveitheless, or else w hore would lie his liberty of opinion! which certainly is paramount in val ue and importance to the liberty of the Press: and without it, tho liberty of the Press could tint exist, Iho right, not only of individuals, Imtofeommunitios and Stales, to protect them selves. by all reasonable means, is indisputable, whether it be against ilie Picss.or anything else; and wo should hko to know, in proof of tins, whether the editor considers the proscription of the l.Ui.Rvroa, by the Legislature of this Statin and the oiler of a reward of n.',ooi), for the edi tor, as a ‘j roserlptlm; of tho P.css!” In asserting the right of every individual to subscribe, or withdraw Ins suosctipllou. at plea sure (subject of course to the conditions of the paper) we are sensible it is a right which, iike every other, may ho abused, if not exercised with proper prudence, judgment, and discretion; but still it cannot be pioperly contested. Wc shuiddboveiy far from iceominemling, or de fending, what is too f.orpnmtly done, the stop ping of a paper for a mere honest (lUFerence of , opini-.:' fo.vat is absolutely imressild 'sthat any lionest and independently conducted paj e. ca agree altogether with all, if any. of lt3 su ,scrl br-rs; and tor onr own part, we never vet me. with a single individual,either in public or private life, with whom wo could agree altogether. Our own holiest opinions wc will never yield to ari y one, or for any consideration that litis wo.ld cun otfei to us, till convinced they are wrong and then, they are uurs no longer—nor evei hesi tate boldly to express them, in dispilo ol all cou seipiences, on all proper occasions. In doing this, so fir, professionally, wo have fre iueiilly dilitired much from those whom wo most res pect, and have frequently had subscribers not only to withdraw their subscriptions expressly on that account, but also to abuse us, and some time* violently; yet wo never cried out “I’ro sei iption of the I'ress,” on any such occasions however wrong we may sometimes have thought I hem; hut have continued unmoved our “on ward course,” believing it the best way of de fending it; fur, however jealous we may be ol ilie liberty of the i’ress, wu are still more so ol the liberty of the people; and, while conscious that it is their inalienable right to judge for them selves of the conduct ot the I’ress, and to extend or withdraw their patronage when they please, tho’ we would not yield our honest convictions for every subscriber wo have, we would scorn to complain of any one fur withdrawing his snb.sci ip timi, tho’ everyone should do so. o have u right to our o; iniorts, and in express them, and so liavooui subscribers, and to stop their paper*, uUo, when they think their own interest or tho interest of their country requites it—aud the same applies equally to the. Richmond Liiquiror, and its patron*,also. Neither that paper nor any other, can reasonably boj c to escape Ilie respon sibility which piopeily attaches to its conduct, | and its docilities. As to the doctrines now inculcated by tho Ln-1 qui;i:r, there can scarcely he a single dilfeience of opinion, among the redacting and intelligent I oil ion of the Southern community. With the honesty of them wc have nothing to do —sensi- ble that they,like many others, may ho very hon est., and still i cnj wrong, as they arc, to say the leaslof litem. V/o have gotieially agreed with paper, politically, as much as almost any other, and rosp icted its editor as highly; and while wo might s'ill continue to agree with him on many other subjects, wo are pained ul t lie necessity of coming so directly into cimlltcl with him on this, as must every one of our Southmn citizens. Tho editor of tho Constitutionalist, alter complimenting him vety high'y, observes: “We a:cdeeply mortified, then, to fin.l in the ml it or ml leiiiin ks of the Enquire ', of the 7lh Jan tin y last, iindei the {head of I 'lruinia Lcgiilu ti'rc, opinions which seem tons to Do visionary, 1 it nothin" worse, ami from whirl* the whole /South i i must dissent. W o say nothing more —but we ' venture to remind the veteran champion of State j lights, that whenever vre take leave of common I sense upon that topic, there is no knowing to w hat troubles our hallucinations may lead us.”— ft behoves the whole bioullioin Press to speak cut, upon tins inatlor, mildly and temperately, but firmly and decidedly. foR 1111; vfiiusrv rtntox’n r.f.

Botm after tho restoration ol’King Charles the ‘2nd, the old Indian Ring, or Saaliom, Mnssasoif died, lie left two sons, U’l/iiisiitto, his eldest, and successor, and yiotacovn!. They hot') came to tho com t, at Plymouth, and desired English names given to litem. " They tccoivod I’liliti nil, though not Christian baptism. Wanisiitta was called Alcxamlor, and M tacomet, Philip.” Tho C'omt, soon after this, had information that Alexander was endcitvo; ing to loan an a!- banco with the N nragitn-ols, upon which Ed ward Winslow, Major (ieticiail of the Colonies, was sent to luitig him In ; lymuuth. The Gen eral look with him hut ID men, and surprising tho Sachem, at one of hi* hunting camps, pre sented « eockod jnstol to his breast, and order ed him to sma enilor upon pain of death. Alexander, confounded at the suddenness and boldness ol this assault, suhmit'oil, and only de sued that ho might ho treated with the respect due to a King, who was also tho son and suc cessor of Massnsoit, who had been so long u friend and father to the English. The General offered him a horse to ride to Plymouth, but bis wife, ami bor women, Doing obliged to travel on foot, Alexander bad too much pride to avail himself of the General's courtesy. Ho was received at Pl\ mouth, bv Governor Prir.ee, in the most respectful maimer, and treated with great Immunity. Yet, so great was bis indignation at the all'uint that had been put upon kirn, that the ferment of his spoils throw him into a nervous fever, of whicli he died in a few weeks. He was succeeded in his Kingdom by his bio '•her, the celebrated who was then young, stout, hold, politic, and iavengeful. I'npropnreil to avenge the itifront that had do gtaded his family, and his nation, he thought lit to temporise awhile. To that end he visited the English com!, at Plymouth, and renewed Ike league that had been made with the English, by his father, Ma.-sa-oit. He began, from this time, to visit the neigh bnuring .Sachems and Segiimures more fiequent ly. and to avoid the English, more llnm his pre decessors had done. His subjects hud commit tod some trilling depredations upon tho proper, ty of the English, which, together with this eon- i duct ol Philip, eieated a jealousy hi the couit at Plymouth, anil ho was sent for to appear before that t.ibimal, ns his hiotlmr Alexander had been. He appeared at Plymouth, complied with llio demands oflho colonies, agreed to pay qUI'J for the damages the English hud si;tiered by his sub jects, to send to Plymouth five wolves heads yearly, as a token of his fealty, and not to make war, or sell any lands, without the approbation of tho Governor of Plymouth. John Suusiiman was the son of an Indian con-’ vert, and had been educated in tho chiistitut faith, hut when lie came to judge for himself, ho returned to the religion of his ancestors, mu! Phi lip made him his Secretary. Alder some time he came back to llio English, and changed his religion again, and soetued so sincere in it, that he was admitted to what was then called chun k memh 'rshiin that is, to receive the Sacrament of onr Lord's supper—alter whicli, ho was nrduin ed as a preacher, and sent upon th« Vanipanoarr I MUsion. \\ bile' residing in the dominions of Philip, as a Missionary, ho gave notice to the Governor of Plymouth, of lire designs of that King, against the English—of which Philip had immediate information, and, claiming Saiisa man as his subject, ordorod him to be killed as a traitor and a spy. But, as tlio A\ ampano.igs were in great awe of the English, Philip could not induce his countrymen to ex>eculo his ord* r openly. Sausaman was therefore waylayed and killed, as he wiis travelling near a pond, and 1 liia body was thrown into a hole in the ice to 1 conceal the fact—leaving his hat and gnu out, I that it might appear that be bad slipped into the { hide, and was drowned. But the Governor ol Plymouth, suspecting the murder, ordeied the I body, after it bad been taken out ol the pond ! and buried, to be dug up, and an impiost to bo i hold upon it. I It is difficult to maintain a decent gravity, ( while writing the following ipuilations from Ur. Mather, who says, that “when Tobias, one of King Philip’s counsellors, who was suspected ol the murder, approached the body, it fell a bleed inf, and upon repeating the experiment seveial j times, it always hied afreji.*' The Jury, upon their in guest, brought in their verdict wilful minder, and Tobias, together w iih his sun, and Matlashiiiima, another of Philip’s counsellors, weto seized, imprisoned, tiled, convicted, and ban fed, by the English, not how ever, upon the evidence of the nii.aculous ilu'.v of blood, from the withered ami I'ozun corpse, hot upon the testimony of Palukson, an Indian, who swore to flic murder. An histoiian who wiolo within ISO years of these events, makes the following very natural reflection : “If we look upon Philip as a Eovu roign, independent of any oilier Prince, or I’cc | pie, absolute in his Kingdom, valiant and enter j prising, one can hut wonder how ho bore wiili the English so long. For ’ lid plain they dealt with him as their vassal.” “They forbade him to make war, or form any alliance, without their leave.” “They forbade him to sell any land without their leave, and by a law of their ow n, they subjected all the nnimpnncd land in his domin ions, to Jorjeitiue. to themselves.” “They sent for 1 ini to their courts, as our country Justices send for an elfcisder, by their constables. “They subjected bis counsellors, for giving him advice, and his subjects for obedience la Ids orders, to their penal laws, and ueeuUd them for that adder., and that obedience, us the (Hist if criinin a Is.” To which we may add, that when wo consid er, that the learned in Now England, of this age, | have made the league between Massiisuit and ' the Pilgrims, which wo have seen was after wards renamed, between Thilip, lliu sun of Mas- I gasoil, and tbe sons of the Pilgrims —an era in } their chronology,—and that they ascribe to /’/it | Up, not only the m/ate, but all the great qualities of i | Philip of Maecdnn, who was cuilainly the most ■ | consummate Walkman, if not the greatest Cup j lain, of Ancient Greece —our astonishment must i be unbounded, at the provocations received, and | the forbearance displayed. | Philip forbore no longer. His resenttucnl for , the hanging of his cmiuscliois,, pm veiled bis ro | solution to In ert'; with the English entirely, and i to revenge the injmie:', and the inraitts, which j they had put upon himself, Ins family, and lus | country. • I From the end of the l’oi|tiot war, to this pori j od, the English had enjoyed unintorru; ted peace I with the Indians, except in one or two instances, j where they had taken an interest in the wars I that had been waged between the Indian ;ia j clients themselves. j j) liunloninio, King of the Narragrmsel«, had 1 made war Upon Uncus, Ivin,a of tlio Mohegans, | upon a private disgust. Eneas took the field, : with all the forces he could muster, though not half the number of Miiniloninto's; and got the better of Mianloiiimy, took him piisunur, and j cliopi ed oil'his head. ! The Narragnnscts, oniagod at tlio death of their Sachem, resolved to continue the war, un til they destroyed Eneas or his nation. Ericas lied to the English for protection, who. by virtue of their league, into which they had entered with the Narrag inscls, and the Mohegans, in the Poijr.ot war, cointnandod flic Nmragamcls to lay down their aims, and ask for puueu ol the tMohogail:-. The Narragansets submitted, and had fi picecu granted them, by the Mohegans, through the in tervention i.ftbo Governnieiil at Boston —on con dition of their paying tlio charges of the war, and dclivoi i»g up the sons of their new King, as hostages for their gool behaviour. This they promise-'; but, neglecting to | er form it, Captain Alimrtou was despatched f.om Boston with his company, wiio entered, not on ly the country of the Narraganscls, but the very Wigwam of \inifit, their Sachem, whom lie took by tlio hair of die head, and chvp| ing a I’is i tnl to his breast, told him lie was a dead man, it | lie did not immediately deliver up the hostages I and pay tlio money—which was done- nut a Mar raganset daring to lift an ami, lit the defence of; ills Sachem. Thus stood tlio English and the Narragausols-, . at die commencement of die V hilt pic war. lluslililies hiving coinmeiiced between Philip ■ and the English, the MassacluiseU forces under the command of Captain IE ent ice, marclici! di-1 ' rcctly into the Narragansel country, and pc- I reraptuiily demanded a lenewal of th-o league, oll'ensivo and defensive, which was aubmlUecd to, and articles signed on t'ue loth of July 1075 '■ whereby, the Narrngaiisots obliged ihefnsolvos j to assist the English against Philip, and all their j , enemies—and the English agreed to pay to the i Niurag insets, 20 good coats Ibrtlio head of Philip —t wo for cucli Wiinipaiioag they should de : liver alive, and one, fur the scalp of each they might kill.
