make it convenient to do so.
FRENCH NEWS.
The last French news, which will bo found in
our columns, we arc gratified to perceive are
somewhat less indicative of war than the pre
vious ones; but the result is still very doubtful
depending mostly, wo think on the course, taken
by our own government. Let our planters mark
the effects of those news already, on their staple ar
ticle, here and in New York, in the latter of which
places it ha* fallen 14 cents! and then say what
must he the effect of an actual war, and whether
they should not bestir themselves to prevent it,
while they have perhaps the power to do so ; by
holding Public Meetings, giving expression to
public opinion, and petitioning the government.
tub alphabet.
We cheerfully comply with the suggestion of
mtr highly respected and intelligent correspondent,
in the following letter, and recommend it to the
consideration of our brethren. The Alphabet
ma y be seen in a comer, where it may bo separa
ted most easily, and with the least possible injury
to the paper:
Abbeville District, S. C.Feb. 18.
A, H. Pembtrton, Esq.
Sir:— During the late severe winter, people
having been confined both on Sabbath and week
days, to the fireside. I have observed a great
want of the Alphabet, to learn children their
first letters; not from the inability to buy Spell
ing Books, but frequently they are not to be had
in the country, and are soon rendered useless.
I would therefore suggest, that if you and your
brother Editors would once a month or so, present
your Subscribers with a copy of the Alphabet, it
would confer a tasting favor on the rising gener
ation, by prompting parents to loach their chil
dren their first letters. Your attention to the a*
bove will,oblige A SUBSCRIBER.
DR. DUGAS’S LECTURES.
Wo arc gratified to see that these Lectures art
so well attended; and yet we must still rcgrcl
that while many more might equally avail them'
selves of information so instructive and invaluable
they should have deprived themselves of the op
portunity of doing so. The two Lectures deliver
cd, have excited the highest interest, and elicitei
the most unqualified admiration. The facility
with which the highly talented, able, and scienli
sic lecturer adapts his dcvelopements of this beau
tiful science to the understandings of his unprofes
sional hearers, is most happy and judicious, am
affords the utmost satisfaction. The attcntioi
elicited is so unanimous, unbroken, and profound
that you might at any time hear a pin drop—th
interest intense —and, while several have expret
jed their astonishment at the seeming quicknes
wjth which the lectures had concluded, so com
pletelv were they absorbed, the manner in whish
the auditors linger around the lecturer, to catch
his casual remarks, after the lectures are ended,
shews the deep curiosity excited, & the triumph of
the science. Aided, as Dr. Duoas is, among va
rious other specimens, by a most beautiful, perfect,
and wonderful model of the human structure —
perhaps the only one of the kind in this coun
try —in which all the muscles of the human
frame arc separated, one by one, to the ve
ry bones, and, together with all the arteries, veins,
nerves, ligaments, dec. Ac. and their several fu no
tions, laid fully open to tho eye—be is amply pre
pared to dovelope the science in all its wond reus
truth and beauty; and at every step, the astonish
ment and interest created by these minute deve
lopements, may be far more easily conceived than
described. —These Lectures arc, wc believe, alto
gether novel in their character—at least we have
never hoard of any similar ones; and they suffi
ciently shew, that such should form a part of e
very gentleman's education, and be regularly deli
vered by a Professor of Anatomy, in every College,
THE CONVENTION.
The article under the above head, which we co
py from the Milledgcvillc Times, has been in type
for the last two or three Nos., but crowded out by
ether matter. The Times does us injustice in it
—unintentionally, wc do not doubt—but wc
would respectfully suggest to it, that the only fair
mode of conducting a discussion, is to publish the
articles commented on, and every reader is then
prepared to judge fairly for himself. The remarks
of tile Times would lead its readers to suppose
that we were guided in our course on this sub
ject, by “ individual liking,” Or mere personal pre
ference; and yet we think fit cannot hesitate to
admit, that wc have been influenced by regard for
principle, alone. Even what wc have said in fa
vor of J udge Clayton, was founded on principle;
not one word of it would ever have been written,
but for the unjust assaults upon him, of course on
account of his principles and ours, since there
could not possibly be any other cause for llieni.—
Our course is to meet assaults on our principle*
wherever they arc made, and in whatsoever shape;
and, indifferent as wc are about men, when an at
tack is made upon a man, because of his princi
ples, he and his principles become identified, for
the time. When a man! is assailed, because he is
a nullifier, is it not the part of nullifiers to defend
him, because he is a nullifier f And when they
who aim to proscribe our principles, attack any
particular man as the means, we think it pretty
obvious that such man is ihe most able to sustain
them, for thal vciy reason.
The Times speaks of “ dictation,” too, and in -
way that would indicate to its readers, if it indi"
cates any tiling at all, that we had attempted
dictation ; and yet we defy it to point out a sin
gle sentence in our remarks that contains even
the semblance of it. Wc dictate to no one—wc
scorn it as much as to submit to it; and have
never aimed at any other mode of success, than
through the enlightened reason and voluntary
action of those we address. We scorn all de
ception—all indirection—and have uniformly
, opposed all such, from any and every quarter ;
and can he be justly charged with dictation, who
appeals only to reason, conscience, right, and
justice I If to resist positive and plain dicta
tion, against Our principles, be dictation, then the
insinuation is just: not otherwise.
It is tree, that the views sot forth by the
Times “ seem to be in accordance with the policy
, of the wily adversaries with whom we have to
, contend j” and for that reason, particularly, we
decidedly disapprove them. We adiflit that »< is
right to gather instruction even from an enemy ;
provided it be used to adopt his course if wc ho
-1 ncstly think it right, and oppose it if wc think it
wrong. But ifit be used otherwise, where will
be tho honesty or justice of our course, in secret
ly practising, what we openly oppose 1 Wcwill
never stoop to “ mask our movements,” for any
, human consideration. We arc proud to say—
aye, and to feel, too,—that
“We shun no question, and we wear no mask
f and will never consent to practice what we
condemn. We arc no “ tactician.” We only
, “ speak right on and it is an utter mockery of
t the people, to pretend a regard for their rights,
and at the same time conceal our ways from them.
We have labored to the utmost to convince our
friends, that they never can succeed, os they ne
ver ought to do, till they pursue a course of rigid,
open, and unflinching honesty. The people have
been deceived alike by all parties, till they have
! confidence in none. The course of their leaders
suppresses every incentive to patriotism. Seeing
I that they all act from selfish and sinister motives,
r they naturally argue, why may not wc as well do
so 100, since wc have nothing whatever to gain
from (he opposite course I A game of mutual
'■ deception and selfishness, is thus practised by all
;r parties, all politicians. And think you that we
II can offer any sufficient deceptive or selfish mo
lt lives, to induce those in tho dominant party, to
r ' quit it for ours 1 -Vo ! And wc arc proud
*■ that it is so. Wc glory in the fact, that wo have
*' n 0 o ther real inducement to offer, than truth,
right, honesty, principle, patriotism, and the pub
lic good! In all others, wc are infinitely weaker
re than our opponents, and must therefore neccssa
et r ily fail, so long as we use any other. Does any
> one doubt that these would succeed, if fairly urg
le ed 1 Let him look, then, to the glorious contest
- in Carolina, and blush with shame at his doubts
hiu infidelity ! Ho who doubts truth, right,
Nl virtue, honesty, and justice, doubt. God himself,
tv and is the very worst of infidels!
ti- The end, will not sanctify the means; he who
u- believes otherwise, fatally deceives himself; and
*- he has only to look fairly and fully to his own pasl
id course, to be completely satisfied that he never did
in obtain any real good, in that way —never am
d, success, that did not lead to punishment; as raer
he are often permitted to attain the “ bad eminence’
they seek, that they may break their necks in fal
*8 ling from it. “ The God of justice sanctifies ni
n- evil, as a step toward goodand if they whi
think otherwise, were to be asked, like the simple
Hibernian, if they believed honesty the best poli
cy, a similar degree of sincerity to his, would in
' duce them to reply that they “ did not know, for
they had never tried.” Let no men eay “honesty
is the best policy,” but he
“Who noble end,, by noble means, obtains,
Or, failing, smiles, in exile or in chains.”
Why a discussion is more injudicious before tho
people, than the Convention, we are utterly una
ble to conceive, unless the latter is more entitled to
consideration and information. And why does
lhe Times again and again talk about discussing
the respective talents, capacities, popularity, &c.
of the various gentlemen nafned 1 Have we
ever directed the discussion that way I Have we
looked to any personal considerations, or shown
a desire to discuss anything but princip let 1
The Times has a right to its own opinion of
the insignificance of the intrigue, and to act upon
doubts that such a one is on foot; but as wc have
no doubts upon the subject, and positive, is worth
more' than merely negative evidence, these are
points upon which wc cannot possibly agree with
it, until wc are able to shut out all evidence from
our mind. Wc think it the part of wisdom, too,
to struggle to prevent mischief, rather than permit
it, merely because wc might choose to disregard it
after it is done; and incline to (be opinion, that
“the prompt adoption of measures” to prevent
mischief, arc generally more successful than those
which strive to correct it.
RESOLUTIONS of the student*.
Having copied from the Courier, tho article in
relation to the Lectures on Anatomy, it is but just
that wc should republish from the Sentinel, the
Resolutions of the Medical Students in reply to it.
In doing this, too, justice to ourselves requires that
wo state the motives which induced us to copy
that article; and in doing so, all we have to say to
the public, is what wc said to the gentleman dc
, puted by the Students to ask our reasons for copy
ing it, and whether or not we sanctioned it. He
. said the students were astonished to see it in our
i paper. Wc told him, certainly not more so than
. wc were at the expression of it, and the question
. connected witli it—that our reasons for republish
. ing it were very simple, & easily explained: High
• ly approving of Dr. Dcoas’ Lectures on Anatomy,
, and desiring to impress upon the public a sense of
1 their great value and importance, wc had made
. some remarks to that effect; and afterward, seeing
. an article in approbation of them in the Courier,
■ wo read it very hastily, and sent it immediately to
, the printing office, without a single reflection or
consideration beyond that of ardently desiring to
advance the interest of the I/ecturcs—that in this,
- we were guided by the same motives, as, when
j recommending the Law School of Col. Goui.n,
. wc republished the approbatory remarks of the
Sentinel. Wc then said, that the remarks of the
, editor of the Sentinel, on legal subjects, were enti
, tied to far more weight than ours, and would
t doubtless hate more, and we therefore published
them. And, so thinking of the opinions of tho I
editor of the Courier, on medical subjects, or one
immediately connected with the medical science,
, wc therefore republished them, in favor of the lac*
, turcs. That, in this light, wc certainly sanctioned
I the article of the Courier; and were not a little
surprised that it should have given offence to any
, one. He said it contained remarks, personally
insulting to ihcltudcnts of the Medical College;
, and on our producing the paper, astonished at the
, remark, and incredible of the fact, he pointed out
( the following :
, “We would not be understood as saying, that
those books or these lectures, would make every
1 body doctors. God forbid! They are too nu
' tncrous already; for it appears to us, every fellow
. that was too lazy to plough, and bad no more
t education than would qualify him for that kind
of practice, bad been studying medicine."
Wc observed that we had read this as a gener
al remark, merely, without application to any one
—and so slight was its impression, in doing so,
that we had not even remembered it. Thai oven
now it appeared to us in the same light, though
the particular reference and application to it were
well calculated to give it an unpleasant aspect;
! that at most we could only look upon it as one of
’ those loose and unreflecting remarks not uncom
f mon in tho editor of the Courier, and by which he
, not unfrcquontly offended without the least ap
. parent intention; and that whenever such a ro
■ mark admitted of two constructions, it was but
• just and charitable, to give to it tho better one.
, That ifa suspicion of its personality had ever entoi*
j cd our mind, the connection of the editor with the
; Medical College, and his consequent friendly feel"
t ings toward it, would have lulled such suspicion
; at once; and that, without designing to he per
, sonal, (and no man was mope friendly to the Col*
> lege and all its relations, or more proud of it, as a
i Southern Institution,) wc did not hesitate to say
1 that tho excessive hankering after professions, as
I it existed at the South, and was weakly eucoura
-8 ged by parents, and the consequent undervaluing
. of all mercantile, mechanical, and agricultural
i pursuits, was an evil to the country of immense
] magnitude, and the very one which rendered us
e so dependent on and tributary to the North; by
i, throwing the first of those pursuits—the most in
“ flucnlial and powerful of all, over the destinies ofa
r country —into the hands of our Northern bre
thren; but that no particular application of this
y general remark could justly bo made, since the
’’ error was one of public opinion generally, rather
il than of particular individuals ; and it was cer
’3 tainly always creditable to any young man, no mat
ter what his condition or education, to strive, by
f J
’ any honorable means, to elevate himself in the
scale of public opinion.
10 The gentleman (who is one of the students,)
■d replied that we were altogether mistaken, in sup
st posing the editor friendly to the institution ; os
id the students had sufficient reasons to satisfy them
iv beyond all doubt, lhathe was not. —We remarked,
; n that we had never known, heard, or suspected
ought to that effect, and consequently could not be
J- influenced by information which we had not posscs
io ged; and that, believing him friendly to the institu
te 1 tion, while they believed otherwise, it was net at all
wonderful that we end they should' have put dif
ferent constructions on what he said.—He'said
tho students would reply to tho article, in the
Sentinel, and would have dono’so in the Clironi"
cle, but for its appearance therein. Wo observed,
no matter where it might appear, we should con
sider it but just on our part, jto republish it.
Whether this explanation wns'saiisfactory to
them or not, we do not know, since they did not
, think proper tosay; and their not doing so, or
, changing the course previously adopted, together
i with the mention they have made of this paper
in their publication, would seem to indicate that
it was not. Whether or not it ought to
, have been, the public can‘judge’for tbcinselvo*;
and with them we leave it—indifferent always a
bout what wo consider unreasonable or unjust en
mity, come from what quarter it may.
From the Slate /lights Sentinel,
At a meeting of the Students of tho “ Medical
College of Georgia,” held on the 25th inst. to take
into consideration an article in the Editorial co
lumns of the Georgia Courier of the 23d inst.,
containing scurrilous language relative to the me
dical profession—Edwin L. Antont was called
to the Chair.
On motion, the Chair appointed a committee'of
four, consisting of Juo. McKinne, Jr., H. V. Wou
i ten, J. Galluchat, Mid J. T. McC-ruder, to draft a
preamble and resolutions expressive of the feelings
of the class on the subject of said publication.
On motion of J. Galluchat, tho Chairman was
added to the Committee.
The meeting then adjourned until the 261 h,
when Ihe Class met, pursuant to adjournment.
S. B. Clarke was culled to the Chair, and the
committee offered the following preamble and re
solutions. which were respectively considered and
adopted :
Whereas, an article containing language highly
derogatory to the character of the medical profes
sion and students, made its appearance in the edi
torial columns of the Georgia Courier of Monday
last, and was republished in the Augusta Chroni
cle of Wednesday—and coming as it docs, from u
trustee of lho.“ Medical College of Georgia,” wc,
as students in that institution, deem it a duty to
ourselves, to notice the indignity :
We hold, that every man has the right of chan
ging his profession or occupation, (be it plough
ing, or whatever else it may,) to that which may
best suit his inclination; that he has tho right to
pursue the profession of his choice until ho shall
fail to discharge its duties, and that then, and nut
until then, others have the right of proscribinlS' his
professional claims, wlii h right, wc acknowledge,
(with regret,) has been exercised on some of the
, medical profession. Wc are aware that this,like
all Other professions, is subject to the prejudices of
those who do not understand it, and songs of deri
sion, coming from this source, have ceased to sur
prise us; hot they give indeed, a discordant sound,
when aided by alf npontato voice.
Be it therefore Resolved —
Ist. That language like that published by the
Editor of the Georgia Courier, relative to the
medical profession, is unbecoming a trustee of a
Medical College.
1 2d. That, it the Board of Trustees of the Me
, dieal College of Georgia, have the interest of that
, Institutimi at heart, they will not (in our opi
nion) retain a man promulgating such opinions,
as a member of (heir board.
3d. That we will notice no further remarks of
this character, coming from the same source.
On motion of E. C. Lawrence, it wa s resolved,
that tho foregoing preamble and resolutions be
I published in the State Rights' Sentinel.
'The meeting then adjourned.
Correspondence of the Charleston .Mercury.
Washinoton, Feb. 20th 1836.
With the exception of minor matters, the
House continues occupied with the Deposite Bank
Bill. Mr. Binncy’s amendment, (requiring the
Deposite Banks to retain, in specie and the notes
of specie paying Banks, an amount equal to their
notes in circulation and to their public and pri
vate deposite.) whicli was adopted when origi
nally offered, has been re-considered, occupied Hie
House again all day yesterday, and will most
certainly bd now rejected. No final vole, howe
ver, has yet been taken. Mr. Hinney supported
it again yesterday in an argument which docs
him great honor as a commercial lawyer. Mr.
Polk, Mr. Cambrcleng, and Mr. McKinley, op
posed it, principally on the ground that with such
a restriction, no Western Bank could receive the
Depositee, and the Bill would fail of its effect.
It is supposed that the true reason of the opposi
tion is, the inability of the Safety Fund Banks to
comply with the > requisition, ami the great dan
ger, therefore, in which it may involve that sys
tem. The bill will pass the House, but not the
Senate, nnd it is lamentable, therefore, that up
wards of a week should have been actually dc
. voted to debates upon amendments to a Bill
which it is well understood cannot become a la w.
Mr. Hawes, from the Committee ot 24, has
reported a Bill abolishing the appointment of Ca
dets in the Military Academy, and providing for
the establishment of a School for the instruction
of officers in its stead. A motion to commit and
print this bill, produced an extraordinary contort <
yesterday between Mr. Dickerson and Mr, Hawes, J
. and the Bill still remains uncommitted. Tito
House to day was entirely occupied with a Bill,
: reported by the Committee on Indian Affairs, to
■ establish an Indian Territory and territorial gov
i eminent, West of the Mississippi, and to provide
for the civilization and improvement of tho In
dians, the election of Indian Delegates to Con
gress, and the eventual admission of the Indian ]
i confederacy into the Union. It was warmly op
posed by Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, Mr. Ar
cher, of Virginia, and Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, and
1 equally warmly sustained by Mr. Hardin, of Ken*
‘ lucky, and Messrs. Gilmer and Clayton of Geor-
I gia. The House adjourned, however, without
I having come to a decision upon any one of tho
, ■ amendments that had been proposed.
' The substance of the late intelligence is, that
1 the President’s Me-sage baa produced a [tcrfecl
r ferment amongst the French—that, Mr. Livings
ton had been favored with his passports, and had
gone to England—that the French Minister hero
1 has been recalled—and that tlic French Navy has
- been ordered to blockade out squadron in the Mc
, diterrancan, and all this is said to bo contained
in an extract from the Aloniteur, and to be un
! doubted and authentic. I have not seen the ex
r tract myself—but that advices have been received
. by the President of a belligerent character, is af
firmed by every body, and dented by none. If
litis unfortunate inteliigen'-e should prove to ho
1 correct, there can be no doubt that a war with
t France is rapidly approaching. The general im
pression is, thsi the President will convene the
new Congress for the purpose.
The sloop Boston Packet, at this port from
* Plymouth, N. C. informs us that tho shr. Oeo

Mr. Edward Everett, is reported to bo pre-
I paring a work of fiction for tho press, tho scene
. of which, it is supposed, will bo laid in Switzer
i land and the Alps.— lbid.
The Editors of the National Intelligencer ore )
f authorised to say, that Mr. Poindexter never in I
his life, to his knowledge, set eyes on Richard
Lawrence, nor knew of his existence, until he
was made acquainted with it by (he news of his I
assault upon the President. ,
The Boston Transcript of the I3lb inst., says, ‘
it is reported on good authority, that Com. Elliott 1
has ticen ordered to the frigate Constitution, and 1
will take command of the Mediterranean fleet. Il I
is rumored, also, that the Constitution xvilfr go to 1
New York to complete her crew, and that the ft- 1
gure-hend will be restored there. 1
/Par Signs. —The Boston Advocate oflhc 18th ‘
says: “Our Navy Yard at Charlestown, presents 1
at this moment rather a busy scene ! a minilier 1
of the largest sizo guns, nnd a great quantity of •'
amurtition were received at toe yard while we
wore there a few days since, and wo understand •
that more is on the way, nnd that orders have
been received ‘to have the Constitution and Bos- I
ton fitted for sea ns quick as possible.’ The for- 1
mcr is nearly ready, and the latter is now in the 1
Dry Dock. She has been newly coppered and is '
ready to come out. The Indopond -nee has been >
laul up some time, but as soon as tho Boston is !
out of tho Dock, she is to go in. The ‘receiving
ship’ of the lino, Columbus, is also to be gut
rcatly.
.Mr. Can Buren and the Assassin. —Tho two
first of tlio subjoined paragraphs arc from the Al
bany Daily Advertiser, the last from the Tele
graph—-They deserve attention. Strange, that
while inanufae uritig proofs against Poindexter,
tho President refuse* to lake them ready made ,
against “ tho little spotted pig,” that cannot be
i counted.
Lawrence, tho maniac, says he called on Mr 1
Van Buren, and told him that he intended to mar \
tier Genera! Jackson,
Did Mr. Van Huron communicate this fact to
1 the General ! If Lawrence is not insane, as Ihe
* Jackson papers would have ns believe, Ut them i
i explain why Mr. Vail Burott did tot inform the i
, General of his threat 1 i
■ Can tho Globe tell us any thing about it ?or
' is it a matter of suclt little importance that no
i inquiry lias been made as to the truth or the false- I
■ hood of what Lawrence said. Did Mr. Van flu- t
* ren consider Lawrence us a lunatic not detorving
j of notice !
Not less painful than tho contemplation of the !
‘' consequences to which Ihe President’s prccipita. 1
1, lion may subject die country, is the sitimti >n in
' i which the President has placed Governor Poin
' dexter. His accusation of that gentleman clear
- 1: ly and indisputably authenticated, of having hired
* j Lawrence to assassinate him, has ever appeared
| to ns, of Ihe most atrocious nature, and to throw
I I on hie character a darker shade than his worst one- 1
1 mins ever assigned to it. Nothing in his Pra.si- I
■ dential history, within our observation,has no pain
* ed and mortified his honorable friends, nor have
’ wc ever heard one of them utter a word of defence
* for it. Passion would have been excused, had i
■ not its language been deliberately repeated, and i
1 followed uj) net*. Unpopulrir »i« Mr. IVindextor i
■ is with th« Jickaon party, vvo will Make our cx
* istence, that there is no Jackson man who (iclieves
* him the hirer of Lawrence. If innocent ns all
■, believe, of the foul and deadly crime, what i* the
f I responsibility of his accuser 1 What

“ I am told that the danger ofa personal colli
sion between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Renton has

pearance of both the gentlemen in their scuts to

which was ho apparent on Saturday,
“There has lawn a little excitement her# on tils
subject of tho Lion which came from the Emperor
of Morocco, and which was by a Joint Resolution
placed at tho disposal of tho President. Ho was
assailed by the Orphan Institutions of this Dis
trict, Catholic and Protestant, nnd promised it to
thorn for their common benefit. Bomo of the An

Washington, Feb. 23.
The special Committee appointed to investigate
tho charges preferred in tin* depositions ol cer
tain individual* concerning Mr. Poindexter, ob
tained leave today to sit during the sittings ol the
deflate. Early tin* morning, there was a meeting
of the Committee, and a request was ordered to
l>o transmitted to the President, that ho would fur
mah the Committee with a copy ol the testimony
which he had received. Mr. Wright*a momheroi
tho Committee, went to the President before 11
o’clock, with this request, and has he had not
made his appearance in tho Senate at 4 o clock,
whan that body went into executive busineiw, I
presume that ho had not returned. I understand
that the Committee met again at 0 o’clock this
I morning, hut I have not neard as yet, tho result ol
their deliberation*. Mr. Poindexter did not fake
his seat in tho ‘Senate today, or MkOr any part in
the proceedings, although he wa* in the Senate
Chamber. lam told that Foy, one of the parson*
who ha* signed a deposition, has made a mistake;
and that it was at a house adjoining Mr. Poin lex
tor’s, that he saw Lawrence, at the time he stale*,
and that Lawrence was, at the time, employed in
painting the house. Other storing are in circula
tion. The character ol Stewart, anotlw rof th«
nil units, docs not stand well in this vicinity, and
I presume that very few would be willing to give (
credit to his testimony. There is not, 1 will von- j
turn to say, an intelligent man in tliu community {
who knows Mr. Poindexter, who will permit, tor
an instant, the suspicion to cros* his mind, that j
Mr. P. know any thing of the matter until the at
tempt had been made.
The n)nh • h of tho Frertch Minister, which
has reached us to-day. his led many to the sup
position that there will he no war, ns thoroughly as
the news of Saturday convinced them that there
would he war. We can know nothing, however,
until the Chambers shall have acted on tho subject.
