Mr Charlton,
The entire meaning
cf thie word lies in the relations
yhich men bear to one another. All
our ji/Vions, conrfudt, and motives,
towards, ourlelv-ea, and other ;, con
(titute our mota’ity. The molt ex
tended sense of ‘he word means GE
NERAL Good. This, left view of the
fubjeO embraces the doctrine of
morality ; but as morality lk the bu
finefs of all mankind, it is not to be
expected that the good each man
can do, can be general, yet general
good is the proper end of morality.
By this we are to under (land the
greatest good in our power to per
form ; or that conduct, taken in all
its relations and consequences, which
is likely to be the moll beneficial to
focic-ty. For we can only promote
general good but by adding to indi
vidual advantages ; for it is very
rarely that we can be of any signal
service to the public. If we (tana
{fill, waiting for opportunities of
promoting th© good of the whole, by
some grand Broke cf benevolence,
we (ball nafs away life in • trance,
and i (Left nothing.
Mora'ids exhort men to look to
diftaot consequences. But by stretch
ing one’s view too far, is as bad as
confining it too near. To be gap
ing at the distant horizon, is as bad
as pouring.cn the ground. Ir. either
way we miss the windings of the
path before us, and the ohjcfts a
bout us. The proper way of judg
ing of our rules of conduct, is by
their ufefuinefs—Utility is virtue,
and virtue is morality. We ought
to ffudy the duties of life, which lie
every day in our way ; and make
outfelves perfe£l in the common vir
tues, before we attempt to be splen
did. Cur daughters ought to be
taught by habit, and example, that
they are to be ufeful ; and to know
inai female excellence lies in being
a good wife, a good mother, and a
good neighbor. Qur Tons fhoulcl be
taught to employ their faculties of
realon, judgment, and bodily power,
for the good of themselves, their fa
mily, and society, so far as they are
concerned by common intercourse.
In this way every individual may
promote public good by morality.

Extract ‘.J"lc.icr, dated if ughcla, 28/// Oc
tober, 1815.
On the 3d of this month the counties of
Tipperary mid Limerick were proclaimed
out of the Kiiitds peace ; 12,000 troops have
marched into Tipperary; any person found
out of his house one hour before Sun-rise, or
one hour after Sun-set, wdhout being able
satisfactorily to account for tltemselves, is
forrwii.h transported for seven years to
Botany Bay.
The magistrates and troops po out at
night# knock at the doors’ and demand arms,
the peop.e commonly deny having any—ilu.
troops enter and a search conin>,‘oces, if any
arms are found, the-owners are tried by “a
bench magistrate, and transported without,
fur her ceremony. Trial by jury is sus
pended in those two counties, iliat is I.irne
rick and Tipperary. Three men were bro’l
into Clonrneli about fourteen days ago, and
charged with having - a carbine, three gun
locks, and some shot in their houses, tie
nißgis 1 rates ordered them’ to Bo’any Bay,
and they were removed without a.monuntV
delay, from the courthouse toji cjir that
was .ippo-siti the door, aod sent off instantly
i to Cork, under a strong escort for trans
portation. Special commissions are issued
for Limerick and ‘i ipperaiy, and the sarin:
system is f lowed is every town in boll)
counties. The oppression of dietythe sys
tem is i he caute o’ ail tho e disordnrs.
Wheat is at pres) rit bu’ 32 s. per barrel of

of the iytlie. taxes and tillage without speak
ing of dr-rent, and the Minister demauds
as much for his tythe as v/lie.n wheat was at
1.4 id 0 per bar: el. The first account we
had of actual hostility of the Tipperary hoys
at ti tl es was in a renemvfrP tlicv had with
he. procuirs Patrick Hone, with
in two miles of Cashel, at 2 o’clock on a Sa.
turday, which is the matket day Patrick
ilone wouhl not reduce his ti thes, and the
Banners of the village of Golden, gave him
notice that they would pav him in kind;
some of the Farmers, however, dug some of
the potatoes for the fainilv dinner, or stack- 1
ed some of the grain, which it seems is con
sidered an informality in that part by the
clergy of the established church, and.the
Itev. Patrick Hone sent out his proctor and
seven men, armed each with a blunderbuss
and ease o! pistols, m value their crops anil >
prepare them for a citation to the vicar’s
court. The tything detachment .were on
the farm of the widow thuijiian, laying down ,
the amonnt ofhtr amercement, wlicn their 1
eyes were astonish; and fvith the appearance of 1
15 men, having a blunderbuss poised, and !
approaches]* with a death like silence across
the plain ; they wore- white flannel Working j
jac kets, large hats trimmed and cocked up !
at front, their faces anil necks, which were i
bare, were daubed \Vidi alternate stripes of j
raddle and ochre, yed- and yellow, which’ ]
gave them a mostfrf ylitfi.il appearance, iheir |
knees were loose, moving quickly, and in a j
short time they, were up with t!ie t\Hang
men, who attempted to make oif in ail has'e

were severe, that they'Shouid handout their
arms, valuation and tything books, never ap.

leave the lonise f n me hour. Si -.h was tile
triumph of those redoubted champion.-- of
the poor man’s, harvest. The 15 men filed
oil at the.orders of. one man, and made at
the rate of six. miics each hour : Tins is-ihe
beginning, but where will be the end, God’
omy can tell. We are in a most wretched
filiation. I .wish that JdO,yGJ hardy Irish
nun were exchanged for as many, if von have

the bitter enemies of the United States of

distress of many of the merchants then, is
attributed to this excessive trade. We

here.
