If this is not a convincing evidence of the hoftility of the general, towards the ftate-governments, particularly thole that are not fubfervient to the views of the Virginia faction, then I know not what conftitutes evidence. But, the mischief of it is, the tyrants of A. merica, like Bonaparte, have hitherto carried on their plans with fo much art and fecrecy, that they have gradually imposed the yoke of bondage without exciting a larm. The charm, however, is diffolving. Connecticut, New-Hampshire, Vermont and Delaware, awake from their lethargy: and we only wait for the refult of the Mafachusetts election, to realize what we anticipated in our fongs for last Independ ence-viz FIRST-Tune, Mason's Farewell.

It feems to be a pity, that the Barometer editors are reduced to the neceffity of mu This is precisely what we expected. The blood of Hamilton has cleansed Burr, in the eyes of republicans, of all his political crimes. What else could be expected, when it was openly declared by a democrat, that the killing of Hamilton "was the best act Burr ever did!"-Before this event, Burr was denounced by his party, from Maine to Georgia, and declar. ed to be, not only an apoftate from republicanism and a trimming knave; but alfo, a villian in private life, and "Poor Beh-tilating their own paragraphs to make rens!" was founded in our ears, until we were nearly ftunned with the noile.

The federalifts, inthis affair, have evinced a fpirit which we rejoice to fee. It is quite bad enough for Mr. Jefferson's penfioners, men holding offices under the general government, to attempt to overthrow a flate conflitution. there is no help for it.

We are happy to have it in our power to inform the public, that all the material parts of the College Edifice and out houses are fo far completed, that the Students have removed into the rooms affigned them, that Commons are opened and that every thing relating to the Inflitution is affuming a new appearance. On Tuesday the 9th inft. the Prefident [Rev. Mr. Nott,] entered on the duties of his office-and delivered to the Young Gentlemen, Members of the College an appropriate addrefs.

"It is impoffible to ftand in this place, without feeling mingled emotions of joy and forrow. Moft fincerely do I deplore the untimely removal of thofe excellent and venerable men who have preceeded me; moil fincerely do I deplore that feries of un propitious events which have impeded the exertions of your inftructors, and prevented "Hitherto you have experienced great on yours.

"The laws are in your hands, which prefcribe your duty. In framing those laws, the truftees had your good in view as the object. The fame object, we truft, will be kept in view by us, whofe duty it is to execute them. You must expect discipline, to be maintained with PUNCTILIOUS EXACTNESS, with SCRUPULOUS UNIFORMITY. Not indeed the difcipline of a ty. rant, who delights in error, and is pleafed with occafions for punishment, but of a parent whose watchfulness fprings from af. parent whole watchfulnefs fprings from af. fection, and whofe chaftilement I am prompted and tempered by love. "To your advancement in fcience and your improvement in morals, will be directed our exertions and our prayers. We know that perfection is not in man; we shall not therefore expect perfection in you. The reftraints however, which the laws of College impofe, and the duties. they enjoin, are obvious-they are reafonable they are indispensible--they muft be invariably attended to. || gardless of these noble motives and irreclaimable by reproof, purfue a contrary conduct, we shall lament the depravity of fuch individuals and inftantly remove them from this college, as unworthy to participate in its advantages, or to enjoy the hon. or of being your companions. "In the execution of laws, which have your own good exclufively in view, we flatter ourselves, you will acquiefce, with that fubmiflion not only which is your duty, but with that cheerful complacency alfo which fprings from ingenuous minds; from minds emulous of praife--of useful. nefs-of virtue. It is of great importance that your minds fhould be deeply impre fled with the idea, that to preferve order, difcipline and diligence is your own intereft as well as ours. You are not to fuppofe that the intereft of the governors and governed are oppofite-that it is your priv ilege to tranfgrefs the laws, and ours to detect and punish tranfgreffion. This is not the cafe. It is your duty as well as intereft to refpect and obey the laws. Your relation to this inftitution, the claims which your country has on you, as well as the word of God, which enjoins fubmiffion for confcience fake, bind you to this. "If Union College flourifh-if its laws are obeyed, if its youth furnish an example of fobriety, decorum and diligence, the honor is yours; if otherwife yours is the difgrace, and yours the injury.

Gore took his ftation, but notwithstanding all his caution, fome deer forced the pass, and made their escape.

Yet the brutal conduct of this man was fuch, that he never flopped one moment, but drove on as if nothing had happened.
