COLUMBIAN Cj^NTJNEL. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23. The awaken d spirit of the nation will hail with satisfaction the firm and dignified step taken by our gov rnment to support its dignity, as developed in Ihe correspondence between Mr. bn.ith and M“. Jatkson. Mr. Jackson, the minister of Britain, it v/dl be perceived, has treated our go vernment with indignity and insult. At a crisis like the present, we did hope to see the Jindistinguishing of the nation demand s me firm and vigorous measures—How has our expectation been realis'd ? Joined to the manifold injuries America has received from Britain, we have seen many of our own titizens abandon the rights of their country and advocate her c; use.— lhe violence with which a few of the i federal prints have teemed against the administration, has bt-tn disgraceful in the extreme. Their patriotism con sists in degrading the country, and tli vir lo\e of order and good govern- ! ttient is manifested bv an indisetinun Ate opposition to all measures not pro posed by themselves. Such Slav swe j dare believe, would be glad to break into servitude; Commit a burglary up on tiie prison, and ftsunon their chains •nd hand-cuffs—Sycii slaves would i doubt) ss prefer a ww with France, or ‘ r to trade, by British licences, to such ports, only , as the mother country may be pleased to grant, “by and with the tonseht of hit My city's fnivy Council" —Such si v, s live in ■> 1 ml of liberty, With uit the spirit that Would issert its rights and digfti.y. Sba't s like these, Would f.H before the stioke and surren der up the freedom, the happiness, and the ' indep' ndi nee of their country. Such ere they whom liberty cannot r>i~:e, nor ignominy appal—unwoithy •f Sierra Leone, or If t mv-iVay. Had • •such si ives as these their w »y, the fair ’ fabric of American freedom would soon •rumble into ruins ; but fortunat, ly, tliere is a snffi icnt number of magna nimous. public-spirited, and enlighun td federalists alive to the honor and tiie happiness of their country ; who, in periods of difficuhy, h o-moniz with the republicans, (not the Jacobinic *• MAN-woashlppKrs”) ready to assist ' the nation from Mi evi's that oppress and menace h r. If this was not the case, ive should se- li some other place as a refuge from national disgrace even were wc to join the ottek skin kkhs of Katnsk ilrua.— W Would not, however, th ;t our readers infer, wc like better those (lor there be such in our ! country) who iv,.uid the shot-bow : I «f Napoleon; and as willing slaves, r- , in his triumphs over free and hap py notions. These we also det st. That there he s o h men in our coun try >s we have described, im dispassion ate reflecting man can doubt—This is the truth, as solemn r.s if pr >n -unced, tihon our condition, from Luia or Mount Sinai.

Jackson of Virgin ia, and Mr.—- Pearson of Nnith- Curolin *, both of whom arc members of the House of Representatives, in consequence of a difference between them during the late extra sessirn 1 of Congress, whilst the subject relative to Miranda s men (who have since ef fected their escape from their confine ment in Carthegena) was under con sideration. T hey exchanged two fires. | Mr. Jackson received the second nail of his antagonist in or near the hip bone. It is supposed it will prove mor tal. Mr. Pearson is no way injured so * »( far ns we have been lnforwed. Mr. j Howard of Kentucky act»d as Mr. Jackson’s second, and Mr. Stevenson ol Virginia as Mr. Pearson’s. On Tuesday last Mr. Peyton Smith, son of gen. John Smith of Frederick county, Virginia, was killed in a Dikl by Mr. Joseph Holmes of Winchester, in. H e same state. DILL), at tin Isi nd of St. Bar tholonu ws, in October last, Mr. Donald M lver, Merchant of this city. Mr. M Tver. left this place rather indispos ed in July last, and on his ai rival in New-York, vr i: s f mid to be in an a- Inrming state of decline—and after finding the in*ffiraev of all the medical aid he could procure, he was ad vised to t*ke a voyage to the West-Indies, as the only probable means of checking the progress of his disease, lie sailed i >r St. Bartholomews, and unfortunate ly experiencing a 30 days passage, he barely reached the Island in time to cl-’St his eyes on temporal concerns.— I host who knew his worth, will sensi bly feel, and sincerely lament his loss. Upright, manly and dignified in his conduct, pure and correct m his princi ples, he w.-s highly respected and es teemed in the circles to which he mope ! p irti.nl,,rly confined Ids intercourse, ’ and numerous are the friends and ac qud ntsner, by whom he will be re membered with affection,and mourned , with unaffected sorrow.
