Have you no shame, sir? .are you capa ble of blushing? Will a “PERFECT GENTLE MAN” suffer his radian soldiers to plunder and abuse the defenceless inhabitants of a town w hich he enters unresisted? If Mrs. Madison had not not teti \Vashington, he would have saved the president s palace? Had he but known of the library, he would have saved it? Does he inti mate either of these intentions in his official des patches? No. Here are his words—“Judging t ot consequence to complete the destruction of the public buildings with the least possible delays that the army might retire without loss of ■ -ne,the ioliowing buildings were set fiye to and c mwavi4_th e capital, including the senate And house of representatives/ the arsenal t :K ^ock-yard, treasury, war-office, the presi dent s puiace,'' &c.

JBut we can not go the lengths of many, who think that tak ing the enereased salary was just as bad as vot ing for it. There is certainly a great and im portant distinction—a distinction, that must at once be obvious to every reflecting citizep. Re fusing the salary, would not only have offered a pointed and personal insult to the patriots (and there were many sterling and upright men) who voted for it, but would have amounted to a di rect hostile opposition to an act of congress.— ft would besides have set the dangerous and alarming example of a minority boldly proclaim ing their disobedience to a law of the national legislature. With the same propriety, by the use of the same logic, could the faction be ap plauded and justified, who opposed the declara tion of war against the British government.— They might have said, and we believe did say: “we had no hand in the measure, it belongs en tirely to the war-hawks; we raised our voice against it, and therefore we are not bound to lend you, the majority, any aid or assistance.” Now all thisi would be perfectly right, if a mino rity is bound only to obey that law, which they believed would, or found to be acceptible to the great body of the people.

This we presume is the precise difference between republican go vernment, and any other form of government not restrained by fixed principles. Applying these general remarks to the case before us, we con tend that delicacy and patriotism dictated the necessity, the propriety, the legality of taking the compensation. "With this impression of the subject, we cannot join in the hostility against the members of the minority who voted against, but received the compensation. In the tempest which has been raised perhaps our voice will not be heard, and it is not very important that it should. We only beg leave to cull the attention ol oUr fellow-citizens of the west, to the reasons we hayp bef ire assigned, for giving to this sec tion of the state one representative. Colonel Cuthbert has been selected as .the man of the people’s choice—he will receive in the district a general and almost unanimous support~we would then respectfully ask, upon what just or liberal grounds can !te, or ought he to be reject ed by the west? With the exception of taking the salary (and no doubt a respect for the feel ings of the majority induced it, his fortune and circumstances not requiring the- aid of the pit tance) his opposition to every measure which sa voured of aristocracy, hia warmth and eloquence in defence of the people’^ rights, and republican principles, all entitle hinj^o the continuance cf confidence and support of his fellow-citizens.— Let his’bjpeech on the franking bill afford the il lustration of his regard for popular opinion, as well as the simplicity and correctness of his own political opinions. This of itself is sufficient to rescue him from the effects of the anathema, which has been fulminated against the whole representation. ^ “Mr. Cuthbert was rn favor of concurrence. If the pri' vilege of franking were claimed as a matter of conapen: si. lion then as a mutter of compensation he. was opposed to it—If as a matter of privilege, then as a matter of pri vilege he was opposed to it. He thought also, that in stead of maintaining the dignity of the members by con tending, for his power, they were putting themselves on a footing with tiie subordinate officers ofthe government by it. The President of the United States, he said, was the chief executive magistrate, constantly engagf d in cor responding oh national concerns, and required an ex emption from the payment of postage. Whatever privileges are necessary to aid in conducting public itisiness, and not to suit private convenience, for the purpose of corresponding with friends, See. was proper, but none others. “Mr. Webster spoke against concurring with the Senate in their amendment. He thought if there was any ne cessity or propriety in the privilege during the session, it was equally proper during the recess, il members were to be regarded as public men. The power of abusing the privilege was no argument—how many thousand deputy post masters were there who could abuse the privilege, yet it was not urged tfgainst granting it _ to them. He thought it was proper to confine the privilege strictly to the session, or to extend it to the recess also.” r The separation of Maine is mentioned through the un ion. .
