try ofan estaltlished church ? Was Wasli-
itigton his model, when hr announced to his
Congress and the world that “a model ate
monarchy was unquestionably the best form
of govern merit ?"
Was Washington bis model, when In-I
oared to propose a martial l.uv for Mexico |
—to establish a special tribunal in all Hu-
chief towns, “ composed of two offetrs of
the tinny am! one lawyer”—and to direct
the final appeal to lie made to “ the tribunal
of war"‘I Before this dread tribunal is to
be hurried every man w ho d ires to breathe
a syllable iigainM this August Emperor.
Was Washington his model, when lie
proceeded to ariest Twelve of tile represen-
tatiies of the people; aiming them some of
the most tried and virtuous patriots of the
nation r—In what part of Washington’s life
does lie meet with such acts as these ?
The truth is, the elements of disafl’ection
are scattered annual him—and only want
some vigorous hand to bring them tu hear a-
gainst him. The measures he is taking ;
the facts which he officially disc-losses in
these papers, prove that •• bis lad,” like
that of the Mexican Guntimozin is not “a
bed of flowers.”—Dates arc of some little
account in reading the papers we now pub
lish. The communication of Herrera to the
Congress is on tile -tth of August. The re
commendation of tlie special tribunal, by
the royal council, is on Hie 2d.—Here Un
chain of events is broken, for on Ihe 20th
August we find Iturhide arresting the 12
deputies, 19 or 20 officers, besides several
citizens—and the day after, we have the
Itnijal Proclamation assigning the reasons
of this arrest—charging some with “wish
ing to realize chimerical ideas of republican
ism,” and others w ith a desire “ to place
(lie sreeptre in foreign hands.” Wliatc-
ents transpired in this interval; whether
the members of congress took fire at the
Idea of Hie special tribunal, and refused to
yield to the wishes of the usurper : or wliat
other act it was v.Iiieli inflamed him, we
must wail for other intelligence to inform

which they have devised, lie, who lias
ihe necessary talents for it, ought to be
well rewarded. Thu salary ought to he

We have sometimes wished, that a com

the science on proper principles. We
have men to teach ns (lie elements of

Iturhide, without Bunapritc's powers to
grasp the sceptre, has ri valled him in am

of liberty in Mexico, until he had Mown
them into a glorious flame. He would have
disdained any miserable aggrandizement lor

The Great Race.—We are informed
by a letter from a gentleman in I’oters-
bure, \ irginia. that Mr. Harrisou, the
owner ol'Sir Charles, had arrived in that
town on his way to Washington, for the
purpose of depositing the stakes, it ma
king good his challenge to the owner ot
the celebrated northern racer Eclipse.—
If no accident occuss, therefore, this in
\voqld seem that there are those who are
deaf to the suggestions nf ex|>eriunce, and
whose political creed it is for tile pleasure uf
hoarding a dollar for the moment, to sacri
fice thousands at a distant period. A steady
adherence to a system of national defence,
commensurate w ith the resources of the re
public, and situation of the country, is olivi
nusiy a dictate of wisdom. For nothing
short of the pow er of repelling injuries, will
secure to the Union a rational prospect of
escaping the calamities of war, nr the de-
grad itioo of insult. Such lias been the en-
ligtened and energetic course throughout,
of tile present Chief Magistrate, and we may
well hope that it may not be changed from
figl it or transient motives, or obstructed from
mistaken v iews of economy, or the restless
aspirations of individual ambition.
Turning from this slight contemplation of
the General to tiie State gdn-rnmeot, I, with
the most heartfelt satisfaction congratulate
you tm the. rapid advances which our State
vux’rte or the last summer,
however, they liar- hceo di**ppomled Irom
various causes. The sum appropriated is
evidently too small to (fleet the objects for
which it was made, and it is a subject of re
gret that no exertions were ((lade on toy part

conceived could not with any propriety, nave

From Hie correspondence herewith com
municated, it will In: seen that the President
oflhe United States, agreeably to a request
uf the Legislature, as expressed in a resolu
tion of tile 22(1 December. 1921, caused the
commission with which Geo. Pit-stoo had ^
been charged, to lie continued open at Athens I
until the I5th March lust. It will also ap
pear, that on and alter application by Hie Ex
eentive to the President, he linsdircctcd that
the claims in question, made not in con
formity to the insti notions under which Gen.
Preston acted, lie received at the War De
partment until the first of January next,
when such order will he taken in relation to
them as justice may require. As this is a
subject ol great interest to many of our poor
ami suffering (Vllow-ciHf.ens, l recommend
it to your further consideration 1 do this
the more readily, from a belief that the
course ailoped for establishing those, claims
is so rigid as to preclude many of the claim
ants from recovering their just rights, which
were understood to have hecti provided for
by the Indians, as well as by the commis
sioners on the part of the state. The amount
of claims as yet allowed by the President, is
S9B,7l)2 02, the first insi.dnu nt of which
lias been received, agreeably to the stipula
tions of the treaty, and is regularly paid to
the claimants as they apply, by Elisha W mill,
Esq. one of the secretaries of this depart
ment. The reasons for not allowing inter
est mi those claims, arc given in the opinion
oflhe attorney-genera I oflhe U nited States,
a copy of which is herewith transmitted.
By a resolution of the legislature, appro
ved iid December last, the executive was

as it is conceived, of a constitutional right
and political duty of the executive, 1 deem
it not improper to submit to your considera

knowh tlge of this department, had absent! d
himself from tin* seat of government, nor
did he intimate to this department the
length of time lie. intended to be absent, or
the place whither he was going. A clerk,
contrary to the express orders of the Exe
cutive, persisted in the discharge of the du
ties of the office as deputy, acting solely un
der a letter of attorney from Mr. Hammond,
signing his individual name for that of the.
Secretary—“Thus. II. Crawford, fur A!,tar
