FOR THE PATRIOT. TO DUELLISTS. jUl men desire happiness and a con tinuation of that happiness during their .hole existence. Whatever they do is done in pursuit of happiness. When a matt does that which is not the most cori ng} to happiness that his circumstance allows* be errs in judgment, or acts the part of a madman. Therefore when a asa iiphts a duel, he does the best for Hsoffn happiness, errs in judgment, or i the part of a madman. If there be jo God, and no future state of exiatenee jg may be right. If there be a God who is pleased with such conduct the duellist las done well. But if there be no God iho is displeased with it, and that God bethe just Ruler of the universe, every Ban who engages in a duel will find it to jijg own disadvantage. If the Christian idigion be true, duellists incur the dis pleasure of God. He that falls dead in adael roust bear that displeasure hereaf ter and live survivor must repent, and fish the deed undone or follow his an tagonist to a region of sorrow. If this be sot true all who profess Christianity are knaves or fools and every Bible ought to be committed to the flames. Men may boast of their courage as they please: but a wise man will not rush into combat with a full convictien that he must yield to his antagonist. If the com Braider of an army should do so, he would deserve to be branded with infamy. How then can a man be thought wise who lis his hand in opposition to Almighty GoJ. Happiness is all we desire and our boasted courage deprive us of hap piness and sink us in misery, away with fich courage forever. As sure as the Bible is the word of God every duellist rill, either in time or eternity repent of| lis conduct: and ho has no just claim to ifason who does that which he is sure to Fish undone. ^'s But some profess not to believe the Bi He. Such men ought never to use it in swearing or administering an oath. If they have the honor wjhich is necessary to act the part of officers, that honor should induce them to reject a book they do not believe. And if they cannot fill those offices without being sworn by this old book they ought nobly to decline. Should they enter into office by affirma tion without the Bible, if a just and holy God be not acknowledged, such affir mation is senseless and ridiculous, if not hypocritical. And if a just and holy God he but acknowledged, all the sad conse quences I have T«H 4 k mentioned may be ex- see men whose passions are flaming with all the fury of demons, and even blasphe ming God, thus in a moment plunge into eternity. What must be the character of ,e,-^mighty if he will instantly receive their souls into his favor and admit them »eternal joy? He who has been killed in a duel is in estate of happiness, or of misery, or of feasibility. Let the survivor think ich of the three is most probably true, hen a man has no family or friends to l°m he ouSht t0 has a family depending on him for pport is inexcusable. His bosom friend gave him her hand with the tender ful ^on ^as a right to the most grate- 0 he can raake 80 lon£ s without ®hootintr I i ."fcai&v as God Mm with life.

There may indeed be crimes he would not commit but a man often scorns to commit the crimes of which other men are guilty, and yet com mits other crimes which they hold in equal abhorrence and sometimes really worse, than those he condemns. When it is not necessary as a means of defence, nothing can justify us in coolly wishing to take a man's life, unless we are fully convinced that he is so far des titute of good principle as not to deserve a place among the living: and then the civil law must be deficient if it does not condemn him to death. But surely duel lists will not always say that the law ought to have been so made as to punish their antagonists with death. When a man does not deserve to, die it is a shocking crime to kill him. And when one does deserve to die, it is mad ness for the injured person to risk his own life against that of the injurer which may only add injury to injury on the part of the innocent. Were a man convicted of a capital crime by the law of the land, and ^ome friend to the public would offer to risk his life against the criminal, who would be pleased at the combat? But is it not often the case that a man attempts to kill one whom he acknowledges to be in his. general character a gentleman of honor, because he happens to commit one error? In such case the assaulted may defend himself. Should a difference take place between another person and me, if I can believe I am wrong I ought to acknowledge it, and as far as the cir cumstances permit to make amends for the injury. It may be thought a mark of meanness humbly to confess a wrong, and try to make reparation. I grant it. But wherein does the meanness consist? Sure ly in the wrong that is done, and not in making reparation. And if we would have the least meanness possible attached to our character the only way is to wrong others no more, and give all satisfaction for what we have done. And the man to whom due acknowledgement is made must possess a brutal feeling if he still insist on taking revenge. But if I do not believe I am in the wrong, and the man with whom I have a difference makes no acknowledgement I should still remem ber that he may not see his error as I do. Who knows that we may not sincerely and honestly differ in opinion? Every man of generous feelings would rather let a guilty person escapc than to punish an innocent one. And let the case be as it will, to take his life cannot repair the in jury he has done. In all cases we have a right to forgive injuries unless some person have a right to forbid it and such a case I believe cannot be found. The law which requires us to resent all inju ries is a barbarism, unfounded in the will of God or in the conduct of the most hon orable characters that ever have lived. Shall God forgive unnumbered crimes and shall we who are guilty of ten thous and ourselves refuse to forgive one in a fellow sinner? Surely it would be more noble to follow the example of Heaven. Some will probably plead that duelling is'fashionable among those who are con sidered gentlemen of honor and conse quently to decline a combat would in many instances disgrace a man in the eyes of the world. Many see the evil of the practice, confess it to be in itself wrong, that it has no just foundation in nature but they are so pitifjlly afraid that others will think slightly of them that they will comply. Thus they become the dupe3 of fashion and while they are fighting for the name of HERO, they prove themselves fearful in the lowest degree. Let a mathematical question be proposed to a man who knows how to answer it correctly if he should be in company with a hundred ignorant persons who agree to give an erroneous answer, will u pected to follow the practice of duelling, he give up the known truth, and acknowl If men be tired of life and wish to leave edge them right? If you should happen ihe world reason seems to say they ought! with a company of drunkards who burn as much as possible to have their minds their clothes would it be wise in you to imposed to peace. How shocking to follow the example? A man of a truly noble spirit, when he knows what will be most conducive to happiness, and that which will receive the approbation of if he be willing nsk the consequence of Tushing into eonM^' may say none God and alljntelligent beings when view ed in the glorious light of eternity, will pursue that course though all the world should now consider him a fool. If he is right the day will come when all the world should now consider him a fool. If he is right the day will come when all shall confess the superiority of his judge ment. When once a cause is universally ac knowledged to be good, he that first en- right toj gaged in it may expect the greater ap- wplain. Suppose this true the man} probation: and he that was slowest in fol lowing the good example may expect the least applause. Therefore when we see the impropriety of a practice we should do every thing to discourage it and if we prove successful we shall be the benefac tors of mankind if unsuccessful we shall at last appear in all such cases to have been among the wisest of men. «UJ9 I1UC) lilt llidlij A. FKIEND TO MORALITY. OTJTRAGES AMONG THE CHER OKEE INDIANS NEAR FORT GIBSON. Murder of John Ridge, his Father, &c. The Natchez Courier of the second says:—"By a letter received in this city yesterday, from one of our citizens at Fort Gibson, Arkansas, we are informed that about a week since the celebrated chief John Ridge and his father, two of the most prominent persons in the nation, were most brutally and savagely murder ed, and that John .Ross, the leader of the opposition party has, in consequence thereof, been compelled to take up his quarters at Fort Gibson for personal se curity. From the same soiwceVe also lezgrn that a Mr. Wright and four children were inhumanly murdered, about the 26th June, near Cave Hill, Washington Coun ty, Ark., for money, as it was supposed. It was generally believed at Fort Gibson, that the perpetrators of this act have been pursued and taken with many others of notorious character, and that the law will be disdensed with, and they be disposed of very summarily by judge Lynch. The Natchez Free Trader thus states the. same report: "The steam boat John Jay arrived yesterday from Fort Gibson, Little Rock, &c. having left the former place on Tuesday last. There was some disturbance among the Indians, arising from dissatisfaction in regard to the trea ties made by their government. Major Riggs, his son, and Boudenot, were kill ed by one of the three parties into which they have divided. Ross was at the head of about 1000 men. He was offered ad mittance into the fort by Gen, Arbuckle, but deciined unless his whole party were included, which was refused." VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT VIIB NEW YORK.—The Journal of Commerce of the 3d gives the following account of it:— "The President of the United States arrived in this city between 12 and 1 o' clock, and met with a very flattering re ception. The order of proceedings, cor responded with the programma, publish ed in our last. On passing from Jersey City to the Battery, he was saluted by the Forts, and by the U. S. ship N. Car olina, and other vessels. On landing, he was saluted from the Battery. We had not the honor of being at Castle Garden while the addresses and congratulations were going on, but we dare say they were appropriate and cordial. The Garden ap peared to be crowded with ladies and gen tlemen. In the mean time several thou sand persons were collected on the Batte ry, in addition to the military, who were out in great numbers, including the first division of artillery, under Major General Stanford, and a division ol infantry under Major General Floyd. They appeared extremely well. After being reviewed by the President on the Battery they escorted him up Broadway to the City Hall, where he was received by the Common Council without distinction of party. The pro cession was very long, and sufficiently splendid for a republican country. Com pany after company, we know not how many, each varying from the rest in its style of uniform, followed in long success ion, till it seemed as if the last would ne ver come. At length, however, at the very heel of the military procession, appeared Mr Van Buren, on horseback, with his bald head uncovered, accompanied by the Mayor and other distinguished citizens. A civic procession followed in the rear. When the President reached the vicinity of Tammany Hall, (which as well as all other buildings in the vicinity were crowd ed with spectators,) a general and hearty cheering rent the air, which he acknowl edged by sundry acts of obeisance to the sovereign people. Altogether the affair went off in excel lent style, and we are sure he must have been more than satisfied with his recep tion. It was such a reception as was due S .« Ann nnn to the Chief Magistrate of 16,000,000 of people. And we are happy to say, that although the programme appears to have contemplated little else than a party cele bration, it was not such in fact. The po litical opponents of the President were disposed to pay him respect on account of his station, if for no other reason. AUGUST ELECTION.
