Since the toefin sf war was founded in the con £ refs of the United States by Sena tor Ross, every poflible exertion has been •made by the defpecate faction, in whose temple he occupies an elevated niche, to coax, drive or lead the government into san guine measures. Nothing provoking that could he said or written on this fubjeft, has ‘been omitted. But the moil conspicuous mode of attack lias been the writing, or for gery of letters, pretending to speak the fen 'tirrients of tlie weflern people. Nothing can be more flagitious than several of those lately in circulation in the tory prints. Fre quently we find an essay or an add refs on this fubjeci . We are not at all aftonifhecl to find tins Left of writers joined by Thos. T. Davis, efq. late member of congress, but lately made a judge : we are not'fr.mrifed because we nr vev had much faith in the po litical rnfeg; Uy of judge Davis. Tie has lately published an address, from which we prtmofe to make a few extracts, and take the liberty to add oecafional remarks. Ile com mem cs thus : . “ Mercer County, May 1 y, 1803. “ Friends and Kelfow-tJiuzens, “ After a service of ten years in the ft ate le iflature and congress, I have volun tarily withdrawn From public service. “ I pray you to accept m.y grateful thanks for tlie frequent evidences of eftvcm and con fidence I have received from yon. They are evidences of refpefl that will Le ever gratefully remembered bv me. “ Before I take my final leave of you, permit me to give you fome account of the proceedinjgs r.f the la ft congress, without reserve an l without prejudice to any set of men, and without the fear of censure or the hope of apglr,life, to slate my opinions.” Here we (hall take the liberty of copying a remark of the editor of the National In telligencer. Tt follow; ; “ Onr readers have to-day the address of Judge Davis to the people of Kentucky.— Many oi the opinions he avows mav be con- Jidered as evidences of that independence in a j idge, which has been lately so much ex tolled, and wtsich, i! we do not err, fome times means nothing else than nn entire irre- 1 fponfibilrty of a public fim.dlionnn* to ad pradticahle control.

Neither do we believe, was there not a cent in the treafurv, and an oc callon f.ioiild occur, where iuiiice, and tlie j honor and interefl of our nation, required us-to commence a war, that there would be any difficulty in finding means. A nation ot free men, of whom one million are trained j militia, and mofl'.v men ot property, gov erned bv an executive, prudent, firm, and i jult. will not be appalle by dangers.
