Lyon & Morse, 1 he editors ok’ the Museum, appear to think the charge on them of ranee with rcfoecl to laws and manners, an cvaflon of their wj(- (1 >m, which r! fir ozn i opinion would seem to e> tint ate highly. A is proper to indu *e every man’s vanity in a tle g ce, as the foible is generally innocent i: its effects ; and it is improper to take up t> > much ot tire publ.c lime with tlifibuce on trifles ; yet there is a point it winch Salomon iiirnlelx advilos to “ aid’ ver a tool according to his folly, ij(t he be u lie in 1 ?Is own cone. it.” \he New-England character has futiered from the coutluft of its emi grants. ‘/hey have not only carried abroad their third of gain, but, toge ther with a high conceit of tiiemleivcs, a narrow-minded partiality for their native f ates has formed no incorffidera bie portion of their characterifric. It is hoped that fame mere energetic min s have at times broken through the prejudices of their grandmothers, when they have thrown oil the gai h of child hood, and l?ft behind the cottage of ignorance.

Although, from feme lorne know ledge of the character of the citizens of Hartford, I totally di(be lieve the tale alluded to in the lint of the following quehions, \ request they may be answered without “ evafiion.. '* i. What oath would have been re quiflte for the Aln ford citizen to have taken in order to have voted in Hart ford ? 2. By what law would such oath, oj act of voting, amount to perjury ? 3. W hether is it more criminal 01 improper for the Afhford citizen to have voted in Hartford than for those “ Candidates for the Mimicry of the Gospel ’ who have no fettled residence, to remain after commencement and give their votes in New-Haven ?• By the manner-in which these ques tions are answered by them, we fhal! be enabled to judge of the extent of their mfoimation, and of the joftice of your charge. A Na live cf CchneSicut. For the GEORGIA REPUBLICAN * Messrs. Printers, J Vv AS lately favored with a fe nes 01 letters from an amiable and learned correspondent, which, were they published would, I presume afford to the readers a ioiirce of inftrudion and amusement. T hey chiefly conflO: of moral tracts —tending to improve the minds, in pointing out the real me rit, and to hiss off the 11 age the foils of Dun triad with their paltry trappings of quackety. My correipondent well de serves the motto applied to the ilar-e, “ cjiigiit ridjmh mires.” With him wealth is no ciiterion of wisdom—tides are no recommendation to ciogy he knows that the altar of praise will sooner or latter, fall down with cracks, if it is not supported by the immovable bads ot truth —consequently, he despises adulation, but he he hows a due enco mium on the uniform being, who thro the buttle of buly life, thinks, speaks and a Fes under the government of fbv ereiiin conlcience, and implicitly obeys its dictates —he does not explore in c comprehensive manner, the field of dis putation—nor does ne pry into the inh ibits arcana scan nod by learned philoso phers, and acute metaphyficians, he “ cztchrs folly a y t flies and is fatis fed like the laughing phuofopher with tracing the bubble or follies of a hccd lefs world ; while another weeps ever the ruins of the moral fabric, without endeavoring to red ode ir, he gently brings the giddy band back to tlie sober walks of wisdom, through the very paths of folly which they pursue. His thalian iiuuiour never out-dies the limits afio-ned by reason to the follies of ima gi nation. His honcilyen, when pur suing a candid invelhgation is never wrapt within the web of sophistry, but exerts itfelf before the naked eye of im partial truth —In his various tracts, he •pays ash ict regard to the fundamental principles of morality, and views with equal disgust the ciiminal verfatiiity and ilie despotic intolerance of opposite parties; a true republican, he loves the genuine conflkution, purchased with the blood of his countrymen —perhaps with his own, and never will proftirmc his pen to the noxious inn eductions of “ untried I*rings, of new feenes and changes. v r \ he philanthropic ientence 0 11 ‘ . of cur illudrious jefferfon, 1:111 founds in his ears. “We are ail republicans, we are ail federal:! Is.*’ and although a political war rages betwixt the two, he gives not himfeif u:> to the fan gain ary hope of beholding the utter delfruc tion of the latter : as an adherent io the former.

Nor while we thus derive, from the extent and value ot your pa ft atchiivmcnts, a iauda-1 b[e and incentive to future exertion, can you be indifferent, f flow-citizens ro the daily oc currences, which ad more. 11l you of a fuE Ail ing danger. ‘I lie menaces that reverberate in the halls of Congreis, the calumnies that kike from the preft, the sullen dilcontcnt of individuals, and the undisguised hoftiitty of numerous alibciadons, give aftbrance of a wounded, but aspiring spirit. No moderati on in the exefeife of ofHcial power, no -over ture to the melioration of fociai harmony, no appeal to the equal difpenfatiorrs of the confti ti-uon, has been eiTectual to abate the rage of federal anamofity, or to silence the arrogant pretension, to a monopoly of public honour and emolument. Still intolerant, active, and intelligent, your political opponents move in every direction, and transform themfeives in to every shape ; lb that con ft ant vigilance can alone enable you to dilcover and avoid their toils. In the effort to efcapc fro m the obloquy of their own mifcondudl, you have heard their, uiibluihingly, afoibe to the cx iftingad mi ni ft rati on, an ex pen five com pro - mile, under the sixth article, of the Bntifh Ereaty, fer tue liquidation of private, anti quated debts ; the rdinquifhment of an in demnity for the fpoilations committed on ear commerce by the French ; the irritation of the barbarians on the coast of the Mediterranean —the impolition ot duties on fait, brown kff g;r, ccfiec, and other commodities, in gene ral cuniumption among the uoor: and an aum mentation cl the salaries or the principal offi cers ot llate. So, in the attempt to conceal fron public obftrvarion, the brilliant contrast between r;ie present and the pafic tranfaCl:ons of the government, the motive of every mea lure, legiflanve or executive, has been ieftma tized, us nature has been perverted, and its 1 operations impeded. The repeal of the Ju- i diciary A<± of the 13th of February, iSoi, has opened, above ail, a copious fuurce for declamation and delulion. The design of the system, which that act had introduced, was to eredt a judicial fortreis, within which j the routed :edcra!ifts might ftifely repole, and I tro it wnich the.tnumphaiit republicans mighi | be fljccelsfuily annoyed. Ehe organization j of the fyitem, too, \vus marked with all %lnt\ malevolence* could Hisl ate to provoke refent me.nt, or folly could exhibit to excite dil guft. The Confiitution was either violated, or co llided j and the dignity of die chief magistra cy, together with the ordinary maxims of per sonal decorifm, lav prostrate ; while commif iiOns were i filled to transfer judges from one court to another, without their previous con fect or privity ; white ienators were appoint ed to Hil fuppofr.iriotis vacanciesin judicial of fices ; and whre the tranquility of the mid night hour was invaded, to rivet the lift fet ter upon a rival admimftration. It was never expected, that such conduct should pals with out ar.in,ad verfon, or that an encroachment like this, would meet a prompt and paflive acquivfccnce. Even, however, if the ddfolu* tion of tus judiciary Iyitem hid not been a natural concomitant of the circumstances, that gave it birth ; and even if rhefe confide rarions of local advantage, in the adm’niftra tion ofj iftice, which infpireJ fome republi cans with a wifii for its preservation, had been more generally dilfuted . yet the fate which the system has experienced, mini have been rendered inevitable, by the very arts that were employed to avert ir. The power of the legifl.-iture to repeal the act, was peremptorily denied. A dodtnne was maintained, which made, in tins refpcct, the pc;focal mtcridh of die judges every tiling, and the national intend Is of people nothing. In a coan :rv, wimie populat;un ;s but in the germ ; whole refdi-rces ot agriculture, commerce, arts and imanufactures, are incalculable ; and whose iruerccurie with the ddlant regions of die world expands at every gale j it has been contended’, in cite cl that a legislative arrange menc or the conus ot justice, once made, is immutable*, and can i either be modified to conform to tr.t reaHng exigencies ; nor be a mended to correct the errors, winch experi ence (hall cLwCi. In other words, the ap pointment or a jn Le, upon the tenure of good behaviour, has been reprelented, in a wild and boundlcds latitude, of interpretation, as to a confututionai ttipulajion, that under every pohible circun.ftance of public incon venience, the office shall be perpetrated, that the judges may be paid. Combining there fore, the refuit of thok positions, with the au thority exerfifed by the court of law, to deter mine the validity oi ail acts of Congreis, and the federal claim of a common law jurisdiTion in criminal rafts, it is obvious that iomething more incereftshg than the mere repeal of an obnoxious ft acute was at flake $ for, a repeal had at last, become the lndiipenfible medium, to vindicate and preserve the theory and of fence of our governrrient. Pepmvr, the whole dodtrine of the fcderalif s, in relation to the judicial authority, to prevail, and every trace of a republican compact van;flies from the Constitutional code ; the lovereignty of tlie nation paifts from the people, and the imme diate repreftntatives of die people j while the* judges (though appointed by the /Yefident, and still as we have repeatedly vvirneffed v/ith in the scope of executive favor and bounty,) will indeed be the rulers of the land. Other topics or federal misrepresentation and clamor, prefer. rhemfelves in rapid fic ceffion. The diicontinuance of the interna! taxes has been reprobated, not because the revenue is wanted at this time, but because it is possible, that a future emergency rnav re quire a pecuniary fun ply j not becaufe-nh:: discontinuance affords r.o relief to the com munity, but bccanfe the fifcal economy of tae ad mini ft ration cannot fafely embrace a re peal of more taxes, nor conveniently apply the repeal to other taxes in-dead cf tilde. The provision for the extinguiftiment of the pub lic debt, has been called artfu! and in fine ere ; yet all the art con fills in fe left mg rive bed means for the attainment of the objedt ; and the only shade of mfincerity (the power to re loan) is, Amply, a precaution to guard the: public faith from the effects of accidentia! dif aoooincment. Every dilblay of the attribute of mercy has been ccniured, without informa tion o:i the facts, without decency in the man ner, and without humanity in the design. The flow, but we trust certain progress of the exe cutive, to re (lore the to that ftiarc |in the public patronage, of which they have been iolong, & so urduftly deprived, furnifhes an everlasting theme for invective and defa mation, to the presumptuous, the idle, ana the cefperate. The bale and pakry practices | of private scandal, have Ukewife, been indulg ed, at the expencc of truth, modesty and feel ing, when the hope of eftabhfhing official de-j linquency, or public error, has been abandon ed. In fhorc, it has been evinced in the courle of the oppofltion to the present administration, the foie object of the federal party is the re acquisition of power ; and, we fear, that this object fanctifits, in their opinion, every mea sure which can De deviled to accomplilh it : For, of the consequences to the liot or of the nation, or to the peace of the com munity, is it not the cfired aim of every fede ral press, and cd every federal orator, to de grade cqe government to depreciate -the ta lents ?.?A virtues of the rulers, and to leader jjealoii'V and difeord and among the p*w t the fyfteda is, indeed, at once a fv'tern (; seduction and alar.n : but it wul impost or.l, on the weak, and can overawe none but the timid.
