Thence I argued that the enterprising t industrious should not be excluded from all jfticipation in the determination of a matter in ,;,icli they have as much at issue as the owners of w a! estate. for answer, “ Real Estate ” says property of , kind is the result of enterprise and industry, , : it must be successful enterprise and industrv. : all enterprises, nor every industrial effort are ssful. What is the result, then ? appears to me that any school-boy, who can into the meaning of the word prosperity in . .position, will decide that the answer is eva _ , has not even the dignity of a quibble. T ; e .mpkiii-vine and watermelon answer is . r ti t . r of the same sort, but includes the prepos . )US idea that “ stable prosperity ’’ is the result • “iraiching and waiting.” It is said, there was ~ individual who trudged on foot with a wheel baiTOW and shovel to California, and there made a ; •oriune. Now, I would enquire, respectfully, of course, if his success or prosperity was not the re uj; 0 f enterprise and industry, rather than of .itching and waiting?" This maxim does well ~igh for those who have their traps set for real ..ate or other property, which the misfortunes of :-nds and fellow-citizens may unhappily place ( thin the reacli of such means. With regard to the Canal, which “Real Estate” j tn consider as affording a knock-down argu ..-a: in favor of his do-nothing policy, I think 1 can safely say, that when it was projected, there , Vl , not a man in Augusta or Hamburg who could five stated, within five thousand bales of the truth, Avmanv bales of Cotton per year came down the : jrer at that time. It is, therefore, useless to call f or that testimony. 1 find it is only since the isa jTia’i Valley railroad was projected, that a sepa . .. account of the cotton from the South Carolina and Georgia shores of the river has been kept; this mint, and the Canal table of receipts, will show, j v fair inference, that we have been gradually j ng a portion of the Carolina trade. Since 1 st'j, i w>a the receipts per Canal was 26,000 bales, the ! Greenville railroad lias been completed, and as the ! non from the Georgia shore, which is bevond i lii/ mlluenee of that road, was l+.non bales last i v .r, it may be fairly assumed that it was 13,000 i hi A4a— or. in other words, that the product of ; ■non was about equal on each side of the river, j Xetr," hud that during the last year the cotton j ■ an Carolina was but little more than 0.000 bales, i ,lu- ins to me fair, in the absence offsets to ( iie contrary. that we have lost T.GnO bales of cotton | 'rinug the lasi year, by means of the Greenville | joviwil. I urn aware that this is not the poiut j oiad- by “Rv:\t. Estate” in his remarks about j •v Canal, and present it as a subject worthy of S .mideration, as having some bearing on the es- i :ts iik, ly tu be produced hv the Savannah Valley | ulroad. There are several facts, however, in fa- j ■r of the Canal, which have been overlooked, per- j ips unintentionally, by “Real Estate.” One oi keui is, that of the Georgia cotton brought down j ie river previous to the construction of the Canal, j least r.,i!00 bales went to Hamburg. Another is, ; mat the large warehouse at the corner of Jackson i un i Ellis streets was erected fur the reception of J :uij Georgia cotton and the Carolina cotton brought I tl"wn the Canal. But the faViaev of the position assumed by “Real Estate” in regard to the Canal, will be perceived ■ by comparing the effects produced by it, with those j p'roduc dby the South-western plank road, to which j the city is a heavy contributor, and testing them | according to his min rule of~-llow much more cot- j ton have we received by the South-western plank i road, than was received before by the common | i ond-■ y The answer, most probablv, will be “roatcih ! uud wilt and you will see,” and there will he no 1 insinuation about paying to ■ much for the whistle, ■•! pointing morals, or adorning tales, or damning Us friends with faint praise. 1 fear 1 have already occupied too much of vour paper with inv remarks, but 1 cannot part with Beil Estate ” without thanking him for the ef fort he is making to prevent the city from being sild, like at) old oar, perhaps, or as old iron, at the ' ailroad depots. • Locomotive. 1 British Enlistment Question. Tlie correspondence between Lord Clarendon, Mr. Brent nan, and Mr. Matter, with the letters ot j .Hr. Cbashtox, in regard tu the British enlistment j question, have been printed, and are in course ot j . jblication, in Washington and other papers, j F. in a perusal of the correspondence, which is j ■ I long fur publication in our columns, we are sat -iif'J that the British government assumed a pow- j or exercised an authority in this country in vio- j i i f the laws of nations. Nor lias England ! l ined for this assumption. The Baltimore Pat j tsars: "The apologies professed to have been tendered • Great Britain, appear to have been made by j rd Clarendon and accepted bv Mr. Buchanan | the latter was aware that Mr. Grampian was ; ipli ated in the charge of violating our neutrality j - vs, and Mr. Buchanan, from the tenor of subse- j :-ut advices, wasjthereforecompelled to withdraw j s expression ot satisfaction at the explanation j previously made by Lord Clarendon. Mr Marcy's letter on the dth September noti- | - d our Minister at London that the international ) aspect of the question had been overlooked by the j British Government, to which Lord Clarendon re plied, expressing his regret that his apologetic ex piations had not proved satisfactory, ana declar jag that if the agents of the British’ Government ..«•! given any cause for affront to the sovereignty ! of the United States, they had violated their ex- i press instructions, hut that ho (Lord C. • had no | reason to believe that such had been the case on j the part of any one ‘ in the employment of her j Majesty.’ "In a conversation which subsequently ensued between Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon, the ; ■liter declared ‘in a sincere and emphatic man- ! ner, that nothing had been further from the inten- j ’ion of the British Government than to violate the j leturality of the United States or to give them i ause of offence.’ An explanatory despatch "was : also sent to Mr. Crampton, to be communicated to j the Government of the United States, protesting j •gainst the violation of sovereign territorial rights Being made a charge seperateaud distinct from j : hat of a breach of the ‘municipal laws.’ To this despatch Mr. Mtircv replied, in the long letter viiich closes the controversy, so far as the papers nave been made public.” ‘he New York Tribune, in reviewing this corres pondence, savs: The correspondence demonstrates that the ' gnt is with the American side in this controver- Indeed, the other party has not a leg to stand , - Lord Clarendon has clone the best he could; • ■ it is a question whether on the whole he would t - lay be better pleased with his own position, •t. ms;, ai of debating the suhjv't in the dissem -tti and quibbling manner he has, he had simply '. a 'i ■ out at l *‘e beginning, confessed the errors v.

Vet he might have floored his antagonist on tins point as completely as he has on the others. To go no further back than the present war, we find the judicial decisions bv the courts all over Germany, and the police regu lations of Prussia, Hanover and other Continental Governments, flatly contradicting Lord Clarendon’s position. The praclice of enlisting men, either directly or indirectly, lias not been permitted the British Consul at Cologne was not long since condemned to imprisonment bv the Court of Police for his efforts to procure recruits to go to the Island of Heligoland, there to enlist in the British army. Heligoland was used as a depot for enlist ments in Germany, as Halifax was here. The Hanseatic Towns put a stop to like proceedings by similar means. Even the Hanoverian Goveru ment, whose Ring is a relative of Queen Victoria, prohibited all such action in the wav of recruiting as is defended by Lord Clarendon.' Mr. Marcy’s doctrine is thus fully sustained by the usage* of European Courts and Governments upon the point in question. In line, Lord Clarendon’s dispatches are lame every way, and he makes out no case against the American positions. Nothing can be clearer than that these positions are wholly incontrovertible. The matter standing thus, us against the English Cabinet, the ground is properly taken that an atonement is due. It is not sufficient that the il legal proceedings are suspended, after repeated protests on our part; voluminous correspondence and legal proceedings against parties implicated have compelled it. Reparation is demanded. The British Government is asked to withdraw the of fending parties as a homage to violated law and national sovereignty. This concession is declined on tiie ground that the cessation of the offense should be deemed sufficient. Our Government says no, and adds that if the delinquents are not re-called they must be dismissed. That will be the upshot of tiie matter. All the talk of the London l inen about England having] apologized, and that she cannot and will not do more, and that this ought to be satisfactory, and that if it is not, she will go to war before she will descend to hu miliation at our bidding, is mere moonshine. Eng land has dune nothing except to desist from palpa ble violations of our sovereignty and our laws. It is this which the London Tones sets up as an ac knowledgement, a reparation, an apology. This is simply absurd. It is, perhaps, natural that the Tones should consider it a vast condescension on the part of the English Government to cease ag gressions upon another power simply because they are objected to. We confess it is something of a stretch toward decent behavior, but we cannot 1 altogether regard it as the Times would have us, as a most honorable and complete reparation of ii gross wrong and flagrant insult. From the Patriot and Mountaineer. Columbia, American Hotel, \ February 20, 185(>. j To the Editor» of the Patriot and Mountaineer : (Tenth-men : [ came here yesterday under a sum mons to attend an occasional meeting of the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina College, to sup ply the place of Ur. llenry. | Before reaching here, I met the account of the j fearful “tinufe” of the preceding night. It was, as •s to be expected, very much magnified in the ru mor. It seems that three of the students, who j were out of the College walls, met with the guard as they were about turning out. One of the stu dents was, unfortunately, very much intoxicated. ; He, having some pique against one of the guard men, separated from his companions, anil approach ed the guardman and struck him; he instantly, with his stick, struck and knocked the young man down, who lay for some minutes; hut on being raised up, made some further demonstrations of resistance, and thereupon, was taken to the guard house. The students, who were with him, return ned to the College with the usual cry, “The Od- , lege.” All the students turned out for the rescue, ■ and proceeded to the guard house, and, by force, i took the young man out, broke the windows anti injured the door. They bore their prize off to Col- i lege. The President remained, and was talking 1 with the guardman who had been struck, and who j knocked the student down, ascertaining from him ! the facts, when two of the students forced them- j selves in, and commenced an attack on the guard man, striking him, and he retaliating very severely | ott them. They were probably struck, too. by others of the guard. They were forced out of the ! guard house. By this time, the students had again assembled. The President and Mayor were una- i hie to quell the riot; the alarm bell was rung, and ' the citizens called up out of their beds to witness and suppress, if necessary, the action of the stu- j dents. At length, they returned to the College. The President, next morning, by the consent of the Mayor, proposed to' submit the whole ; matter to the arbitrament of twelve named gentlemen. To this the young men acce 1 ded at one time; but the two young men, en- 1 gaged ta the affair the preceding night, j finally prevailed on a majority to reject this propo- ! sitiou lor peace and good order. It is stated that j ' they had agreed to seek and obtain satisfaction , out of the guardman; they left the College with- ' out the knowledge of the students, and were seen, \ with their cloaks around them, approaching the i guardman, who was speaking on the subject of , withdrawing from the guard, as he regarded his life in danger. As soon as the young men were near enough, they dropped their cloaks, and both struck the guardman me with an iron and the * other with a wooden bludgeon. He fell to his ■ knees, but rose and struck with his stick, and otli , ers assisting him heat the young men very severe- : ly. The guardman’s left band is, as 1 am told, 11 broken by the blows ; and he and the two young j men are under the care of physicians, from the ; injuries which they respectively received. The , cry of “College” was borne by a single student to , the campus. The young men, with their accus- ; I turned devotion to their brothers in distress, were 1 soon in the field. The alarm bell was again rung; , t the citizens were turned out and, as the posee com- l ' iteitue, were paraded under arms. The boys re- i! turned to College, forced the room where the rifles ! of this College Company were kept, possessed themselves of them, and returned to the field of action. The scene thus presented was such as Co lumbia never before saw, and which, I hope, she 1 never will again see. Two hundred arm- ■, 1 ed citizens, with guns loaded with hall cartridges, j 1 opposed to more than a hundred enraged voung j 1 men, with rifles in their hands. The order to take j aim was given, and a fire might have followed, had ' not Col. Goodwin, and others thrown themselves \ between and called on the citizens not to fire. Af ter much persuation by Ur. Tliornwell, Laßorde, Lieber, and others] of the Faculty, the students were induced to return to College. Las; night we went to the College in the dis charge of our duty—everything was quiet. I did not hear even a “whoop,” which is very unusual. To-day was equally quiet; and I have been assured j bv the young men that there would he no further i | outbreak on their part. To-day, on the requisition j ; of the Board, the rifles were deposited in the room | : where they were formerly kept. The Governor, i under the direction of the Board, will take the i j arms and place them in the Arsenal. The musters j of the College Company are directed to be siis i pended, and the propriety of suppressing and dis ; banding the College Company is referred to a C’oni i inittee, to report next May. This statement, gathered from the best sources ! in my power, places the facts before you. The un ! fortunate violence of the guardman in knocking down a student who, when drunk, struck him, is the cause of tins affair, which may so much injure the College. The fact of drunkenness among the students show s to the Legislature the necessity of removing this fearful curse of mischief from the town of Co i lumbia. Tlie occasional meeting of the Board had no i power to do more than they did. A great duty will devolve on the Board at the stated meeting in 1 May, to examine into the College, both as to its in ! ternal and external government, and full and ade j quate justice must be done to the Facultv, the stu ; dints and the State. Mr. Rivers, of Charleston, t Wlls elected to fill Ur. Henry’s chair until the stated meeting in May. Your friend, John Belton O'N'eu.l. A Lesson for Landlords. —ln Bleeeker street, in the close proximity to the aristocratic region of j Carrol and Depau places, stands a huge five story 1 mansion, erected in a style of superior costliness, 1 and evidently intended as a residence for the noble i great. Over the door of this magnificent mansion ' is placed a sign inscribed with an enigmatic in- j j scription : “Ilall for Colored People,” a designa- I S tion which gives an air of wonderful mystery to i I this place of brick, mortar, stone and marble; | j which might be deemed at first glance, a residence : i worthy of George Law, or the spirit of the depart ! ed John Jacob Astor. The mystery, however, is easy of solution. This | j magnificent domicil has lately been rented for a j I private hotel, the proprietor of which failing in rendering the speculation profitable, the owner of • the property fell back upon his surety for the ren tal, which has some years to run. The surety, finding himself embarrassed by this act of kind : ness, offered the landlord some five hundred dol . iars to release him and take the property ott his hands. But the landlord was inexorable, and con i sequently ihe surety took possession of the prem ises, converted them into a tenant house for I “colored people,” and filled its marbled halls and frescoed chambers with the elite of the fashiona ble world of Church street and West Broadway. i | Our readers can imagine the excitement conse i quent upon this stroke of revenge among the tre i bly-dyed aristocracy, of that district, who may be , : esteemed (lie blossoms of japonicadom. Unless l the model hotel garni be destroyed, property in the neighborhood will be lessened more than half its e j actual \alue, as a majority of the mansions in that e region are occupied as fashionable boarding houses, i j the daintv nerves of whose tenantry must suffer immensely from a forced contrast with the gen i j try of this “Uncle Tom’s Palace.” ! jVete York Mercury. From the Baltimore American, Feb. 24. Public Meeting of Merchants and Bu*i> ness Men at the Exchange. Pursuant to notice a large meeting of the mer j chants and business men of the city assembled in the rotunda of the Exchange at one o’clock yester day afternoon, to express their disapprobation of the course of Francis P. Blair at the Republican I (Freesoil) National Convention at Pittsburg.where lie assumed to represent the views of a large por ! tion ot the merchants and business men of Balti ! more on the slavery question, as the delegate of j a hitherto unknown Republican Association in j this city. Dr. J. Hanson Thomas called the meeting to order, and nominated the following gentlemen as i officers of the meeting, who were chosen bv ae | clamation: Pres'ulent —John C. I ru ie. Vice Presidents —George Brown, C. C. Jamison, j W. T. Young, John B. Morris, D. S. Wil son, Thomas Whitridge, William Woodville, William McKim, John S. Gittings, Thomas Swann, G. S. Oldfield, Robert Garrett, Win. F. Murdoch, A. Schumacher, Andrew Ald : ridge, John Q. Hewlett, Wm. Devries, Columbus j O’Donnell, Joseph C. Wilson, John H. Duvall, Wm. Q. Harrison, Alexander Kirkland, Wm. : Cooke, Francis Neale. Secretaries —P. H. Sullivan, B. F. Newcomber, William Wilson, Jr., G. U. Porter. “ Fellow-merchants, business men, and citizens : generally: At a political Convention recently as \ sembled at Pittsburg, composed of those who style themselves the Republican party, the President of that Convention assumed to represent the ‘mer chants and men of wealth and business of Balti more.’ As President of the Board of Trade of Baltimore, a memorial, not numerouslv but most respectably signed—the prompt action desired hav ‘ ing prevented its most extensive circulation—was presented to me, recommending the cull of a meet ing of the business men of the city to afford uu opportunity to publicly deny that that gentleman had any authority to speak for the merchants of Baltimore, and to declare that they have no sympa thy with tlie fanatical Abolition and Freesoil doc- j n ines proclaimed by that Convention. The cull for this meeting was consequently made, and the ! large und influential body of citizens here assem bled evinces the feeling entertained by the wliolo community on the subject. The city of Baltimore and the State of Maryland have always been true ; to the Union and to the South, entertaining a cour teous respect for the rights and privileges of all sections of our common country. No people could be found who were more ardently attached to the j Union ; and Maryland being one of the first to join in that Union, would be one of the last to go out of it. This meeting was called for an expression of the indignation of the merchants and businessmen of Baltimore at the assumption of tlie President of the Pittsburg Convention, in claiming to represent them without the shadow of authority, and in con nection with doctrines with which they have ne sympathy. We are, therefore, assembled for ac tion, and not for speaking, though I will take the occasion to say that I feel honored by the prefer ence shown me in calling tne to the chair, as also for many like honors from my fellow-merchants. 1 have my individual views on the subject, for the consideration of which we have assembled ; but as I appear here rather in a public than a pri '• ate character, I will not detain the meeting, know ing that it is prepared to deal with the subject in such manner us the gross misrepresentation of their views and the principal deserves.” Mr. B. was several times interrupted by the ap plause of the large assemblage, which crowded j the rotundo to its utmost capacity. Mr. Thomas Williams then proposed that a com- j mittee of six be appointed by the Chair to draw up and present resolutions expressive of the sense ot the meeting, which was adopted, and the follow ing gentlemen appointed: John Williams, Wil liam McKim, Horatio L. Whitridge, Thomas W. Levering, Dr. J. Hansom Thomas, and J. Hall j Pleasants. The committee retired, and after a short absence ! returned and reported tlie following preamble and 1 resolutions, which were read by the chairman, and i adopted unanimously : I Vhereas, We, the merchants, traders and busi ness men generally, of the city of Baltimore, in , public meeting assembled at our Exchange, having teamed through the public prints, that the Presi dent of a political convention, styling itself “the Republican Convention,” held recently at Pitts burg, announced that he represented “the mer chants of wealth and standing in Baltimore,” and ! 1 'herear, This meeting comprises members of all political parties recognised in this city and State, and whereas, we desire to vindicate our commer cial and industrial classes from the imputation of tendencies either “Abolition” or “Freesoil;” lie it therefore Resolved, That we, the merchants, traders, business men, of the city of Baltimore, take this, the earliest opportunity, indignantly to disavow having conferred authority in any one to represent us in said convention, and to do dare that we have no sympathy with it or its principles. Resolved, That the State of Maryland and the city of Baltimore hold the strongest attachment to the Union and the Constitution of the United States—among the very first to adopt, Maryland will be one of the last to abandon, these sacred t ies. Resolved, That we have that affection for the State of Maryland, its honor and its institutions, that we shaft ever cling to and preserve them, without spot or blemish, as they have been be queathed to us. Resolved, That whilst our loyalty to the South can not be doubted, wo, the merchants of the city of Baltimore gladly avail of this occasion to declare our aflinities with our friends in all sections of the country in the reprobation of ul! unnecessary and hurtful political agitation. Resolved, That these proceedings, signed by the President and Secretaries, be published in the "daily papers of this city, with the request that their ex changes copy. After the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Brune stated that there was no more business before the meeting, and us they were business men, a motion to adjourn would be entertained. A motion to that effect was made, and the meeting adjourned. After the adjournment, several persons called for Francis S. Corkran, whose name had been con nected with the course of Mr. Blair, at Pittsburg, and who was known to be present. To this call, cries of “put him out!” went up from the crowd, and a rush wois made for the centre of the rotunda, where he was standing. The crowd continued to press, and Mr. Corkran was forced out of the south door through the hall and into Exchange Place. The movement was one rather of good humor thau violence, with a desire to see the President of the un known “Baltimore Republican Association,” who had forwarded to Mr. Blair his credentials. No violence, either of language oi treatment, was shown towards him—he was merely hurried out. From the Pennsylvanian. Donelson Slandering the Dead. The proceedings of the Know' Nothing Conven tion, as recorded in Tuesday’s Inquirtr , present some remarkable statements. The nominee for the Vice Presidency, tinder first impulses, said “that he left the Democratic party;” but at the suggestion of an old Whig, who did not wish the candidate to avow that position, corrected him, and induced him to adopt the language of his promp ter, “that the Democratic party had left him.” He was then asked by Andrew Stewart ever an opponent and reviler of “ Old Hickory”—where would Gen. Jackson be, if alive, in the present contest?” The reply of Donelson, of course, was, “ With the American (Know Nothing) party! ! ! ” A base slander. But the assertion of General McCall, that Major Donelson had been the adviser of General Jackson during his administration, calls for explanation. If lie means thereby, that any of the measures which distinguished the ad ministration of an old patriot, hero and states- I man were proposed by Donelson, we must be al- ' lowed to deny the statement; because the only case publicly known, in which he dared to inter fere with the General’s judgment and action, is recorded by John C. Rives, Esq., as follows : The message of President Jackson, which re ferred to the French Indemnity, was softened in its language bv Donelson and others, who wanted the nerve and judgment of the President. Mr. Rives brought it back in print, and it was read to the General. “Stop, Donelson, said Jackson, “that is not as I put it; how is this?” “Why, General,” replied Donelson, in great confusion, “the Cabi net had a meeting, and thought the language was a little too strong, and they concluded to soften it a little.” “I dont care for the Cabinet,” rejoined the President; “this is my message not. (heir’s and turning to Mr. Rives, observed “Please re store the original language.” This was done, and the event justified the sagacity of the old states man. France paid the money. The war that was to he, ended in smoke. I This incident shows what reliance Gen. Jackson ! placed upon Donelson’s advice, and how far he was accustomed to follow it. As to the General being in the Know Nothing ranks, if alive, there is not a true friend of his, in the United States, that be lieves the foul slander. The Skmivolk War.—The Tampa Peninsular, of the 23d ult., is at hand, bringing latest intelli gence from the seat of Indian hostilities. The news from Fort Alyers is unimportant. The coun j try in that region fs still flooded with water. Capt. Gibson, on Tuesday last, mustered Capt. j Sparkman’s Company of mounted Volunteers into 1 the United States service. Capt. Hooker’s eompa nv was mustered in on the succeeding day. i Capt. Jernigan has been notified, by Col. Monroe, j to have his company in readiness on the first day of March, at which time thev will be mustered into service. The Peninsular publishes an official call for eight more companies, to complete the brigade of Flori da volunteers, which is to be held in readiness, subject to be called into active service whenever emergencies shall require.

The Philadelphia American Convention This body, before its adjournment, nominated Mr. Fillmore for President, and Donelson, of Ten nessee, for Vice-President. I'util we are permit ted to read tlie history of the Convention’s pro ceedingsain full and know exactly the position it occupied on the slavery question, we shall refrain from any expression of opiniou in reference to its nominees. That its action nail be considered at all binding upon Southern Americans, we do not for a moment suppose. We greatly admire Mr. Fillmore, and would cheerfully support him for the Presidency ; but it must be as the nominee of j a less exceptionable Convention than the one that ■ has thus prematurely thrust his name before the ! country. Thank (Jod, we can be true to American i principles without identifying ourselves with the 1 acts of fanaticsj and madmen. If all parties [at ! the North are so wedded to their anti-slavery pre j indices that they will not exclude them from na tional politics, let them abide the consequences. ! The South is an integral of the Union, and no j man can he true to the one while trenching upon \ the rights of the other. Our faith in men may be j shaken by the acts of the Philadelphia Convention, but our .American principles are firm as the rock of (iibralter! We shall “wait for the wagon.” American Union. j A Warning. —We can add nothing, in the | way of warning, to the following which we I tint! in a late number of the Philadelphia Argus: j The downward course of Mr. Wilmot, as a poli- | tician, should he a warning to all who consult ex- ! pedienev instead of principle. Ten years ago, he I was the most promising and formidable man of j his age in the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, j Since then he has boxed the compass until we j now find him a Know Nothing Abolitionist, play- j ing second fiddle to the very men he formerly des- j pised. The Montrose Democrat, for several months, i paid considerable attention to Mr. Wilmot’s polit- | ical| tnanoeuvering, and proved very conclusively that he was not governed by honest impulses in his various political dodges. To this Mr. Wilmot i took exceptions, and appealed to a grand jury for i damages, asking the snug sum of ten thousand dollars; hut we observe that the grand jury ig nored his bill, thus leaving him to reflect, at his leisure, on the folly of a political mountebank prosecuting an independent editor for publishing (he honest truth.
