If we once begin to "strike,” what is to be the cons*;, qtience of iht blow ? If the hardy j sons of New-England strike Vir- j gima, or the other southern states —will not the onset be attended with all the dreadful calamities ( of war, anarchy and rum f If j we amputate the limb, will not the ! operation bring on the shedding of blood , and probably end in a dts- ' solution of the b<?dy politic ? The doctor in this case appears like a madman, who throw* about “ fire* brands, arrows and death.” and declares he is only in *port ! How ridiculous must an editor appear, by inserting such heavy denun ciations against the government, stimulating the citizens to cut off their limbs, and provoking them to strike each other, and at the 6ame time, wipiog his mouth with all ihe modesty of a maid, and saying he has no meaning in what he pioposes ! Doctor, you really appear, on this particular subject, more like a ; fool than a knave. You injuie your reputation as an editor, and look like a monkey sporting with his tail. For shame ! doctor ; act the part of a man, and come foiward with an cxpl cit avowal ot your purposes, proclaim the p ace lime and manner that you shall b« gin to “ strike •” Don’t act like a coward, by striking when the party are off their guard.— Any poltroon can do that, and any villain can shed the blood of an unsuspected assailant, who may not be awi.re of the sanguinary designs of his antagonist* —Boston Chronicle.

THE Gentlemen of the Far of Chatham County, who usully at tend die Southern Courts, have deemed it unnecessary to accom pany me at this term. The act pas sed in May last entitled “an act to alleviate the condition of debtors, and to afford them temporary re lief,” having inhibited the issuing of writs, except those which in volve the rights of real and person, al property, or attachments; and the same inhibition extending to the trial of causes, which termin ate in damages, or the recovery of money , under these circumstances a gentleman of the profession, has few encouragements to attend these courts, particularly as 1 am inform ed bv some of the War that thereare no civil causes upon the docket, which can be tried under the pro" | hibitory provisions of the act of As | sembly. Isl had consulted my personal feelings, 1 would also have remain ed at home, for in coming among you at this time, I have made n great sacrifice at the shrine of my domestic afflictions, but having been bred up m the idea, that private considerations should alwavsgive way to official obligations, I would not permit my feelings, as a man to triumph over the duties 1 owe to the public • I have therefore open r*’! this Court, and will proceed to discharge all the business which may only require simple interposi tion of the Couit, or in whic h l can be aided by the suggestions of your wisdom. The criminal matter returned bv the Magistrate, must be the first object ot our attention ; and if it is practicable, the non attendance of the Bar, or a portion of it, shall not prevent the usual prosecution of offenders : l must intreat you, therefore, to act upon the bills of indictment, which may be deliver ed to you, with that firmness and j discernment, which have hereto fore distinguished the grand in. 1 quests of Glvnu. I pray you too, to present all things which can be redressed through the medium ol tile judicial department. j\t the last term it was my o pinion, that something should be I done by the Legislature to amcl- I iorate the condition of distressed debtors ; but i certainly never contemplated a measure so broad ( in its operation as the act of the | | general assembly. Justice de- ' tnanded a temporary suspension ol writs of execution, but justice did at the same time loudly de j mand the progress ot all cases to final judgments, which by ren ' tiering the property ot debtor* inalienable, would have ti ampul ized the appi ehensions of credi i tors, anti; Horded ample security j Jor ultimate pa; mcm». 1 speak | this with all possible reverence for legislative wisdom, whose e <ltCtS, IV NOT CLEARtT UNC^N * Til UTI Oft AL, I bllull ever (low with bubmisbion to : Ani I hope I do not trespass upon any esiab lishcd decorum of my office, in requesting vou to recommend »o the Legislature, which will be in session in the course of a f cw Java, a repeal of the act of As sembly, so far an it militates with the issuing of all kinds of writs or the obtainment of'judgment.

We are informed, that at the late session of the superior court for Li berty County, the important ques tion was discussed, whether the act for suspending t.e prosecution of suits for recovery ot dibt y is, oris not, a con-antutionai act ?
