"Ad arma ad arma; acres tellurisjuvenes :" Ye freeborn sous of America, ye brave supporters of freedom, ye that fulmined in the West, and made the throne of the in vincible (in anemo) monarch tremble in the East; ye, beneath whose ponderous arms the brazen clad Britain fell; and whose strength the powerful Gaul could not withstand; where is your mighry valour, your much vaunted patriotism, your high toned philanthropy ? where is your great love of liberty-your veneration for the departed "Heroes of the Revolution" where are your jealousies of your liberlies, and sympathies for the suffterings of your fellow mortals? do they slumber and sleep for a while in the lap ofluxury, or are ihey extinguished forever ? Has the love of li berty ceased to dwell in your bosoms, and does patriotism exist no more amongst you, does the wife no longer weave gar lands to deck the brow of the meritorious hero, or has the lyre of the bard ceased to celebrate his praises? (volo camre Atridas.) " Virgins fair and m:ttrons grave, (These. thy conqering arm did save,) Build, for thee, triumphal bowers Strew, ye fair, his way with flowers, Strew your heroe's way with flowers." Has liberty passed through the ordeal, and is it found to be inconsistent with our nature? are the people at length found to be incapable of self-government, and are they waiting for greater and more flagran' abuses, to call them forth to vindicate their most sacred rights, (for what can be more dear or sacred to an individual, than his life, nil rei conclamant omnes,) therefore, fellow-men, are your brothers to be open ly insulted, to endure every indignity, and finally to suffer death without redress. Americans, ye mighty warriors, sons of freemen, the blood of your ignominously slain brothers of the North, calls aloud for revenge, the destruction of the Caroline, property of a free people, calls for satisfac tion. Rouse up to arms; shake off your lethargy, and boldly meet the ruthless ag gressor, bid him defiance, and deal death profusely into his ranks, recall to his me mory the battle of New Orleans; let him remember that Kent uckians are still in he ing, and still make use of the rific. Yen go forth with all your warring hands, meet Victoria (whose charms are much more difficult to be resisted, no doubt, than her armies) on the battle plaitn, and give the young Queen a notion of what sort of peo ple the Americans are, penetrate into thte heart of her domininns, teach her, in the mean time, that the lives of Americans are as dear to them, as to Britons, lest site commission other persons to do mturder, and commit depredatuions on y our frontier. Refr-e-h her memory with a short review of ancient historv, let her remember, that in conmse'i&ence of1 the d-at h of a single in div-idual, the p'rurfaue Gaunls (as thtey wet-e called) invaded the Romrant empire. gav-e battle to its inhabi:anns, killed 40,0010. en tered their city-, took it, plundIered it. and laid it emirely in ruins ; awI atlI for an of fence not half so flagrant in its tnature, ats the offence given to the United States. WVe Americans believe this, namely, that we must either entirely resigrn our clutms to liberty or preserv-e it inviolate. A SUBSCRIBER. THE WVAY TO AVOID DI NNING. Mr. Editor.-l hope you will give this a place in your paper, as it amay he of ser viee to vou as well as to those who deal in goods. I expect there are but fewu, who may see these hitnts, but what have, (in some way or other) had something to do with the unpleasant business of dunning. Brothet dunner-wvhat is a mnore unpleasant occut. pation, than that of going through the set tlement with a pocket full of accounts, and riding up to a customers house ' Who is that yonder ? its Mr. B3, ah ; I know what be wants; he has come to a poor place to get money, he had as well go to the goats house to hunt wool. Good morning' Mr. M. how do you do. Mr. 13. 1 am tolerably well-are you well this morn ing. I am not to say so very well these two or three d aya, but I kee p atboutt-wont yotu light ? no sir, I thank yott, I believe-c hav'nt time to light-have you any news ? Nothing sir worth yourt attention, exce-pt hard times, and they are so comumon, that I expect they are nothing new. No sir, they are not with us I assure you; I ha e never seen exactly such times int my life, it appears that money can't be had upon any terms ; people htave mnade nothing this year, and get nothing for "wvhat they have made." I thought I would have been over to settle with you before now, but it took what little money I got for my Cot ton to buy my meat; I expect you are upon the hunt of money to day ; yes, we are owing some, and I thought I would call by, as I had some other business out this way, and see if you could give us a "lift." I have not the money, but Ilhave some owing to me, if I can collect that, I will come over and settle in a few days. Such comfort as this is about all that you will get, by going probably to a dozen pla ces, and telling as many more stories, that you are on some other business; when, to collect was your business when you start ed ; this is what I call trivial dunning. I could mention many other unpleasant things connected with tbis disagreeable occupation; but as it is no stranger in these parts, I shall conclude by giving a remedy which shall prevent the low call ing or dunning and being dunned. 1! 0 0 In the 6rst plaes it is necessary for every person wh" keeps an accommodation shop, (for all credit stores may be called such.) to have a set time for his accounts to be due, (which the most of'ereditors have., In the second place, it is necessary for customers not to let the time pass, without having made settlement by money or note. It is mnuh better, and tnore honorable, for a man, when lie has not the money to pay his creditor, to go and tell him what to de pend upon, than it is for him to stay away, and keep the creditor in suspense ; expect ing to get the money. and probably with tihnt expectation making contracts, which nothing el+e but money will meet; even, ifa man expect to pay in a short time, and is certain of having the means at the time, it is better for him to see his credi tor, at, or befor3 the time the same will be due, and tell him that lie will settle with him shortly, and give him a note or due bill for the amount ; as the book-keep er can then close the books in regulation. I must, before I close these remarks. say a few nords in favor ofthose who keep goods to sell for the accommodation of a community: and for the little profit which they receive by so doing. It is too coi monly the case, that those who buy goods on credit, will pay every other debt before that for the goods, which they have pur chased; it seems that they think merchants and editors,are a class ofpeople whom Pro vidence supports by chance, and that they consequently wvill get "alung" some way or other. Kind friend who act thus, you certainly do not consider, that when you neglect to pay a merchant or editor, that you are depriving him of the means by which lie makes support; if you should owe a man who makes support by farm ing, and should not be able to pay at the time, the mani has his farm, &c., and can make a crop for support; but if the shop keeper be deprived of hi money, ie b, citlierto do nothing, or seek some otheroc cupation until be gets his money. I know there are exceptions to this rule, but there are no exceptions to the general rule, that in all comtmon cases, the man who lives by what lhe makes of his tmoney. should be paid first.

After supper, Mr. Robert Pettigrew, the overs-eer of Maj. It. Mitchell, left home, as be stated, to go to town for some tobacco, at about eight or nine o'cluck. Next morn ing Mr. Petigrew was found near the road side dead, evidently to have been murder ed. Ajury was immediately called, and an inquest held. On the examination of the body, the skull was found to be frac tured in two or three places. Suspicion soon rested upon Maj. Mitchell's negroes. A number of citizens were detached to ar rest the negroes, and other citizens to search the negro houses, boxes, trunks, &c. The cluh used by the mtrderer was ( found within 40 or 50 feet of the dead bo dy, with some of the hair of Mr. P. on it. Three of the negroes were soon placed in jail; and about the same time the watch of' Ar. P. was found, by the party who had been directed to search, in the box of one or the negroes who had been secured. Mr. P. had left home with the watch in his pocket. The watch was shown to the negro into whose box it had been found, andi he confessed his guilt, and now awaits a his trial to take place this day. Many stages have been robbed, for some time past, of trunks, &c. in the very vi cinity where this murder has been com mitted. A general search is now being made and progressing. Already many of the articles, known to belong to stage pas sengers who have been robbed, have been found; and it is now hoped that the mys tery which has so long hung over the depredations committed in that neighbor hood, will soon lie developed, and that the villanies solong perpetrated will be expns ed, and the perpetrators brought to jus tice.- Constilutionalist. IIrGHLY IMPOTANT FROM THE NIA GARA FRONTIER-CASE OF McLEOD. The intelligence from Western New York, and the Niagara Frontier, begins to be highly interesting. The official corres pondence between Mr. Fox, the British Minister, and Mr. Forsyth, respecting the burning of the Caroline, and the arrest of I McLeod, have created a flane allover the t border. Public meetings have been held q on the subject, in Buffalo, in Batavia, and other places, denouncing the claims and conduct or England. We have despached a correspondent to the Niagara Frontier, frotn whom we have received the following: LocKPOT, Jan.2.5,1841. The trial of McLeotd cannot take place until the 4th Monday in March, unless a special commi-sion of Oyer and Termi. ner should issue, which is not probable - His case will come before the Grand Jury at the County Court. to be held early in I February; but that Court can only indict him. The evidence before the grand Ju ry is private, of course, and not to be re ported. It has been stated it some prints, that he was to be tried itmmediately-this d may have misled some. I have not been able to obtain any itfor- d mation in relation to his history, to be de pended on. There is nothing peculiar in his situation in jail, except that ie sleeps all day and is up all night, probably ex pecting assistance from Canada, to enable hIm to escape. ir t can find any one who 1 can give any of the information asked by j you I will procure it to be done. The statement that Mtr. Brotherson, the cashierofthe Suspensiont Bridge Bank haso become McLcod's bailin $5000, is alsoa erroneous. Mc Leod was arrested under a charge of murder, which is tnot a bailable offence. The excitement on this affair in- e creases every day. Meetings are holding all over the western district, and if atn at tempt he made to rescue him, I wvould notn answer for the cuusequ.ences.a Shut, shunt thme door, good John !.-Somc h people act as thotugh they had no doors at htome and one woutld infer that they teed blankets instead.
