PICKER ING (~ Concluded from our last.J Mr. Adams says.‘'this hill wasoppo sed in the Senate very feebly on its met is, and exclusively by the federal members, then only four in number.” This is true: they were taken by sti; - prise: they were astounded by the so lemn Presidential recommemla ion, ancl the bill presented in pursuance of it, to impose an embargo which was to prostrate the whole commerce of the United States. Therefore, they urg ed the allowance of time to sonsider, to deliberate,and this M<. Adams vehem ently opposed. Although about four hours were occupied in the whole af fair, hut a small portion of that short space was given to the discussion of the bill In that short space, the Presid em’s message and the four documents were i ead—they were referred to a committee chosen by ballot—the com mittee retired—drafted and reported tip bill—it was read once—‘it was mov ed to lead it immediately a second lime —this was objected to, as contrai y to a standing i ulr of the Senate, which re q dt ed every bill to be read three times on three several days,(unless otherwise unanimously agreed) before it could pass to be enacted. And the impres sion re is on my mind, that mote than half the time occupied in debate, was spent in discussing the question, wne ther that salutary standing rule snotild or -hontd not b: suspended, in order imaml) o pass the embargo bill. It may not be amiss here to remark incidentally, that M'. Adams, in saying the federal members then in the Sen ate were only four in number, [Good rich, Htllhouse, Pit kcei ing, While,] of course excluded himself. His present federal friends may notice this if they please: Jhon Quincy Adams now avows (and me avowal at thisiime is not with out an object) ‘hat, on the IBtn of De cember,* 1807, he was not a federalist; and thus justifies the new title given him after that mischievous measure, the embargo, expressive of his renun ciation of federalism, to which ne nad formerly been zealously attached. In my Review of the Adams and Cunningham Correspondence, I stated that Mr. Adams, the father, had earn estly condemned the embargo, on first hearing of ils imposition; but when, af terwards, he learned what a conspicu ous part in imposing it, he also pro nounced it a wise measure. But the son himself soon became alarmed for the consequences: aiarmed, I presume bv letters from some of his friends in Boston, shewing the mischiefs * with which the n embargo was pregnant, and piobadly suggesting a substitute, to au thorise the merchants to arm their ves sels for defence. For, on the’ 11th of Jan. 1808, only 20 days after Mr. Ad ams had displayed such flagiant zeal to effect the passing rftlie embargo law he offered a formal resolution for the consideration ot the Senate, for the ap pointment of a committee to consider and report when that law could lie re pealed—and oil the expediency of au thorizing the merchants to arm their vessels for defence. But he found, at once, that it was easier to impose, than to obtain a repeal of the law. “My re solution (says he) met no encourage ment.” He himself also abandoned it; and in less than three months afterwards published his pamphlet letter to Mr. Harrison Grey Otis to justify the em bargo Mr. Adams says “that, but for the embargo, the British Orders in Coun cil would have swept thee-fourths of the tonnage of the United States into the ports of Great B rain for confisca tion.” Surely, every merchant in the United States, if he can suppress his disgust, must smile at this strange dec laration. In affected retaliation for the orders in council, the French Emperor issued his Milan decree on the 17th of December, 1807. This decree was distinguished by its outrageous provi sions. One was that, if a neutral mer chant vessel suffered herself to be searched by a Bri ish armed vessel, that alone subjected her to capture and con demnation. Yet, with this decree, the Berlin decree, and the orders in coun cil all in full force, the American mer chants were weak enough to remon state against the embargo; and t 6 per sist in their opposition until it was re pealed. And then—so great was their folly—they repaired their vessels, and pushed them out with all practicable expedition, to enevv their foreigncom meice! Or ; to adopt the favorite figu rative s'tvle of Mr Adams, “The spi rit ofdespetate adventure rushed to sea with every plank that could be made to float.” Mr. Adams introduces the name of the lately deceased Mr. Cabot, and snecringly repeating my words, “my excellent friend George Cabot,” adds, in the popular slang, “since President of the Hartford Convention;” for iht dishonur able purpose of fixing on an eminently enlightened, accomplished, and most virtuous citizen. Mr. Adams in his vain attempt to damn the charac ter of Mr Caoot, could oot have forgot ten that Mr. Harrison Gray Otis, to whornets his friend, he addressed his long embar go letter of 1808 which he had just caused to be teprinted, was al so a member, and a conspicuous one, of the Hartford Convention, whose proceedings he has lately very ably vindicated. TIMOTHY PICKERING. Salem, August 24, 1824. DOMESTIC ECONOMY. Spare not nor spend too much, be this Thy care, spare but to spend, and only spend to spare; who s ends too Much, may want, and so com plain: But lie spends best, that spares To spend again. Randolfih. Certainly, ifa man will keep of even hand, his ordinary expenses ought to be but to the half of his receipts, and if he think to wax rich, but to the third part. It is no baseness for the greatest to descend and loo* into their, own estate. Some for bear it, not upon negligence alone, but doubling to bring themselves into melancholy, in respect they snail find it broken. But wounds cannot be cured without searching. He that can not look into his own estate at all, iiath need Goth choose well those whom he employeth, and change thefn often, lot new are more timorous ancl less subtil. He that can iook into his estate but seldom, it behoveth him to turn all to ceitain-ies. A man had need, if he be plentiful in some kind of expense, to be as saving again in some other; as, if he be plentiful in diet, to he saving in ap parel; if he be plentiful in the hall, to be saving in the stable, and the like; for lie that is plentiful in expenses of all kinds, will hardly he preserved from decay. —Lord Bacon. Amongst all other things of the world, take care of thy estate, which thou shalfcver preserve ifjtiiou observe three things. First that thou know what thou hast, what every thing is worth that thou hast, and to see that thou art not wasted by thy servants and officers. The Second is, that thou never spend any thing before tho liavs it;for bor rowing is the canker and death of every man’s estate. The Third is, that thou suffer not theyself to he woun ded for other men’s faults, and scour g ed for other men’s offences;whichis,the surety for another; for thereby millions of men have been beggared and destroy ed, naying the reckoning of other mens riot and the charge of other men’s fol-1 lv and prodigality; if thou smart, smart for thine own sins, and above all things be not made an ass to cany the burdens of other men. II any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part ot what thou hast to spare; if he press thee farther, he is not they friend at all, for friendship rather chooseth harm to it self, than offfreth it. If thou be bound for a stranger, thou art a fool, if for a merchant, thou puttest thy estate to learn to swim; if for a chuichman, he hath no inheritance; if for a lawyer, he will find an evasion by a syllable or word to abuse thee; if for a poor man, thou must pay it thyself; if for a rich man, it need not; therefore, from sitic tyship, as from a manslayer or enchan ter, bless thyself; for the best profit and return will be this, that ifthou force him for whom thou art bound, to pay it himself, he will become thy enemy; if thou use to pay it thyself, thou wilt be a beggar. Wnat virtue soever thou hast, be it never So manifold, ifthou be poor withal thou ancl thy qualities shall he despised besides, poverty is oft times sent as a curse ofGodjit isa shame amongst men, animprisonment of the mind, a vexation of every worthy spirit: thou shall nei ther help thyself nor others, thou shall drown thee in all thy virtues, having no means to show them; thou shalt be a burthen and an eye-sore to thy friends; every man will fear thy company; thou shall be driven basely to beg and de pend on others, to flatter unworthy men to make dishonest shifts, and, to con clude, poverty provokes a man to do infamous and detested deeds. Let no vanity, therefore, or persuasion, draw thee to that worst of worldly misseries. Ifthou be rich, it will give theepiea sure in health, comfort in sickness, keep thy mind and body free,save thee from many perils, relieve theebn thy elder years, relie e the poor and thy honest friends, and give means to thy posteri ty to live and defend themselves and thine own fame. Whereas, it is said in the Proverbs, “That he shall Ire sore vexed that is surety tot a stanger, and he that hateth suretyship is sme.” It is further said. “The poor is hated even of his own neighbor, but tlie rich hath many friends. —Sir Walter Ra leigh. SHERIFF’S COURT— Crim. Con. H’ BARING, ESQ. M. P V. CAPTAIN WEBS TER. This was an inquisition to assess da mages for the seduction of the plain tiff’s wife, the defendant having suffer ed judgement to go by default. Ihe damages were laic! at 10,000?. Mr. Brougham said, the name of Baring stood high, both in the political and the commercial world. Mr. 11. Baring, the present plant Iff, was third brother of that family. He was possessed of an entensive. fortune,which he had greatly improved residence in China. Oil his return from thence; aged about 25, he found his eldest brother, just retur ned from “America, and had brought with him a wife, daughter oi one of the first families in Pennsylvania, and also a younger sister o! the lady, to whom the plantiff paid his addresses, and aft er a time, notwithstanding some oppo sition from the fathers ot each, they were united in marriage, and lived in a state of'ummei rupted bliss for 20* > ears, in the course of which they had five children, the eldest, a daughter, recent ly married; another 13; years of age; a son about 20; another 15; ancl an in fant two years old. Capt. Webster, during the last year, became a visitor in ihe family. He was the brother of Sir Godfrey Webster,ancl a held situa tion on the staff of the present viceroy of Ireland. He was five or six years younger than the Ladv, but notwith standing her advance in life, her attrac tions were great; and the Captain, in violation of the ties of friendship for the husband, in violation of the rights of hospitality, and of every sacred duty had weaned her affections from her husband, had deprived her offspring of her maienrai care and protection, ancl left her to become an outcast of that society of which she had formerly been a pt-ide and ornament. Mrs. Wall stated, that she was the eldest sister of Mr. Baring; she had constant opportunities of witnessing the conjugal affection of the family, and a - observed the greatest tenderness on both sides between Mr. and Mrs. Baring; she had passed weeks together at their house, and nevi r saw between them the siighest alteication; there might have been differences of mere opinion, but they must occur every where. The eldest daughter of Mr. H Bating was lately married; the eld est son is at Oxford, the second sen in the Navy; the younger children are at home. Mrs. Kempt; another sister of Mr. Baring, gave precisely similar testimony of the affectionate in err onrse which she ahvavs saw between Mr and Mrs. Baring: she did not know the de fendant. Her general residence was a day’s journey from Mr Baring’s house. Last autumn twelve month sue spent three weeks at his house in the country and saw them repeatedly in London af ter She nevet heard from Mi Bar ing of any former marriage of his wife’s. Aits. Dent, sister-in-ltw, had only to repeat that she had uniformly witnes sed the same affeciionate conduct on the part of Vir. ancl Mrs. 11. Baring to wards each other. Mr. Blagdtn atten ded Mrs Baling on the 12ib August, 1822, at her accouchment* Ii was in London, ancl Mi. Henry Bating evinc ed at the time the most tender solici tude. Four liters were then pul in evidence, from Captain Webster to Mrs Baring. The one was dated Dublin Castle, the othei s Brighton; ail breathed the warmest love, and indica ted an intimacy between the parties of the closest nature. This was the case on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr, Denman then said, it be. arne his duty to address the Jury on behalf of Captain Webstei; he could not help remarking, that it never was suppossed that so little information would nave been produced to the Jury, as a foun dation for those heavy damages which his learned Friend had aruicipaied.— It was true that some respectable La dies had given evidence, but s<> vety immaterial, as to lead one to -oppose that they had been produced for no other reason than to give ornament and dignity to the cause; for it was quite impossible that they, from their con nexion with the parties, could have been qualified to speak as to tier con duct and principles They ar e the sis ters of the husband—unqi stionablv, the sister of the wife could not have been brought forward, but were there not many others that might? There was a grown up daughter; had she no go verness? Wny was not tho French waiting-maid r ailed, who had consent ed to act on some occasions as the “Go between.” She mig t, per haps, have told the Jury something of the uninter rupted happiness, as it was called, of the husband, but wnich the Jur y most have seen had arrived at ns conclusion long before Capt Webster became ac quainted with this Lady. The Lady’s charms, which had won hei husband’s affections 20 years before, had vanish ed, and misery and distress and alliena tion had been planted in theii place.— How fallacious was all the evidence— how iittie upon which the Jury could reiv! The respectable ladies who had been called all stated that even in au tumn last the appearances of Mrs. Ba ring to her husband were the same as usual; all was tranquility and happiness and love, and yet she permitted a gross assignation with the defendant a month before. What right then has any man to infer that his client was the sedu cer? The lady was married in 1802— she was then at least eighteen years of age—she is now on the verge of forty. The gentleman was considerable und erthirty, and was his guilt so gr eat, or did the circumstance oi the case war rant that he should be subjected to heavy damages, wnich wouHl place his personal liberty for life at the mercy of a man whom he was supposen to have injured! He was anxious to find out what were the feelings of the hus band—how he spent his evenings- whe ther his strong affection had lasted up to the period of the seduction; whe ther his attaenmeut had not been abat ed by the former seducers —or wheth er in fact, when he had been released from the embraces of his wife, he had lost any thing more than the name.— Nooppoitunity had been afforded of any examination as to the situation of the lady before marriage nor any of those circumstances to point out the extent of the loss which the plaintift'had sustained. The last person in the world likely to hear what was going forward, were the sisteis of the injur ed husband; and yet they were the only persons called upon to desciibe the do- wVo. 38
