(No. £.) WcJkmrtm% March 12, 1805. Dear Sir—Of Col. Lyon’s “plan*" I know nothing—I will tell you the truth but not the whole truth about certain “ defigns againd the conftitution.” Perhaps it it wrong to call them dtjtgns ; mod of thof whs entertain thofe views are honed they believe we have reached the age of political perfectibility. 1. To carry the election of prefident to the people. How w ill this affeCt the fmall dates ? Take Vermont and Pennfvlvania ; Vermont gives fix electoral votes ; Pennfyl vania 20. Carry the election to the people and the weight of Vermont relatively to Pe nl'ylvania is but a fraction more than as 4 to 18 — 2 Reduce the period for which r 1 a 1 . mi *i» icnaiers arc cjclicu 102 vears. now wii: tliis airetl the fmall flatcs ? It will render the fenators kfs independent and in time the mere tools of the large ilates.Something of this kind is already difcoverable. A re ; publican of diftindtion has been heard to fay that Virginia might as well fend 4 Sen ators and Rhode Lland none as for each to fend two. 2, Limit the office of 2 judge to five years. This needs no comment. I fhall always be devoted to the caufe of liberty .* but I am decidedly of opinion that the union of the vail territory and heteroge ! neovs population of our country cannot be ' preferved under a fyftem lefs energetic than ' the prefent conftitution. The moment • when we have added a world to nur empire is a very improper one to l'eize for the pur pofe of rendering our government almoil a perfect democracy. Yet fuch views arc en 1 terta’ined by our fouthern ami Pennfylvania brethren. The nomination of Gov Clinton was j made in fecTet conclave by four or five members a great while ago. It is a part of the well known Virginia plan always to give us a president from that date. Col. Rurr, has many refpedlable friends in both l.oufes, but it was necefihry to fet him ande for the prefent. Virginia com manded and it was done. I am Sir, very refpe&fully, Y’our friend and humble fervant, JAMfiS ELLIOT. Mr.-, P. S. Both Judge Olin and myfelf have experienced much difficulty in voting for the impeachment of judge Chafe — We find’ probably he obliged to vote again ft the articles, aS they will charge him with ten ! times toe much. JAMES ELLIOT. (NTQ. 9.) IVatbingizn, March 19, 1S04. Sir, Ir» my lift I intimated that the Rhnd-If and Senators were coni'dercd as devoted ro 'he views ot Virginia. I meant no impu tation cn the character of thofe gentlemen ; they are upright ; and their coincidence with Virginia perhaps merely accidental. It is certain however, that there are ma ny modes of republican influence and in trigue. cf which none but thofe, who have like us “ a view of the whole ground '* can form an adequate idea. « * JAMES ELLIOT. IVaSungtem Ajv 15 18.4. (No. io.J Sir, \ our notice of tke election of decors was very acceptable. Mr. Noyes is indebt ed to my activity and influence in Gilford for his elevation to public life, and lie knows it very well. Mr. Shcpenfon is fim il.u ly circumftanced. Theft gentlemen are among my bitterelf perffeutors. “ l ather forgive them, for they know not what they do, * 1 hey are poor and want offices, I am poor alio, but 1 will never facrifice ei ther principle or friends for the “ loavrs and fiihes. ’ I (hall live and die the undevia ting friend to the rights of mankind.

Dear Sir.—Again is the union of hon eft men triumphant. The acquittal of the iupreme court in Pennfyivanu is the fare harbinger of the downfai of Duane, and Jacobinifm in that date. Had the judges been condemned, articles of impeachment againit governor M’Kcan himfelt were al ready cut and dried for immediate ufe. After the molt ftrong and disgraceful congrelhonal debate ever known of four days duration on the Georgia claims, the friends otetrreci principles have prevailed by a tmaii majority, in the fulled ho ufe we have had this feflion, ayes 63, noes 58. hlr. Randolph has delivered feveral phil 1 ip pics mere violent than thole of Robef | pierre in the b oody times of France. In return he has been called by republican fpeakers, an ape, a monkey, i llandcrer, a : calumniator, a madman, an ambitious po pular leader, a defpotic demagogue, a popu lar tyrant, &c. &c. Ue has accufed the poftm after general of cnry-es and mifde mcanors, and that officer has demanded an enquiry into his conduct. I (hall move to confine the enquiry to the charges exhibited to Mr Randolph, for I have afeertained that if it Ihould go t© his whole official con duct, feJeralifts will unite with the violent republicans upon the queftion, and he will moft afluredly be condemned. My fpeech which will foon be publiihed. exhibits a clearer view of the Georgia bufinefs than has before appeared. Col. Lyon obferved in his fpeech that he was “ grateful to his God for having given him the face of a man, and not that ot an ape or a monkey.* Randolph had called him a Jackall) and* that “the head of the gentieman from Vir ginia, was fuller of political projects than l>on Quixotte’s was of wind-mills, caltles, dulcineas and all the pomp of knight erran try.” General Staunton of R hode-Hbnd faid his vote would not be influenced by the wheedling of ivcoohants, or the frown ot tyrants.’‘ ! he northern members are treated by the junto w-th the fnoft fu pcr'ative degree of contempt and intuit, both in and out of d >ors. iam fir, wi'.h refpeft and efteem, Your moil obedient fertant, JAMES ELLIOT. (No. 12.) IValhv.igt ih y reb. 23, ! gOJ. Df.^r Sir.—We have this moment kil i led Duane. We have taken his vxcluhte right as printer and ftationcr to the gov ernment, and decreed it to the loweft bid der, whatever may be his politics. Every New-England member voted for the reten tion. A new daily moderate republican paper is foon to commerce at Baltimore. There are already between 6 and 70c tubferibers, the two firft of whom are Thomas JetLifjn and Robert Smith.

MRS. GODWIN. Mary %Vo1ftonccrafc was born on the I 27th of April, 1759. in London, or at a farm upon Epping foreft. The education of this extraordinary worm ft was flender, ' and fhe had none ot thofe earlv advantages which have been the lot of molt women who have been diftinguifhed i« the literary world. She was remarkable in early life for 1 vivacity and refolutian, ar nineteen years ! of age lhe lived with a Mrs. Dawfon, at Bath as a companion, but was obliged to j leave Mrs. Dawfon, to attend to the wants ' of her dying mother, to whom her behav j ior apppears to hare been very dutiful. I After the death of her mother, lhe found herfelf in narrow circureliances, and wax anxious to fix upon fomc mode of life to r__ l•_■__1 __ ¥ .1 11*1 unitpciii!cr'\.c. in tiic z^iii vear of her age fhe opened a day fchool at Ifl rngton, which was toon after transferred to Ne wington green. She had, for her part J ner, a young lady, to whom ihe was ftrong } ly attached, who repaired ro Lilbon for the j recovery of her health* in purfuanee of the ! advice of a phyfician. This circurr.ftancc is worthy of notice, for it gave occafion to . the difplav of that heroic friendlhip, which lo much diftinguifhed the life and charact er oi Mrs. Godwin. Hearing that her friend sfc-as likely to die at Lilbun. iVlrs Godwin abandoned her fchool, in contempt of every conlideratiun of intereil. and h iv ing borrowed a lufHcient fum of moi.ey, dew to Lifoon to attend the lail wifhes of her friend. On her return to England, lhe found her School had fuffered greatly by her abfence ; fhe therefore entered into the family of Lord Kingfbnrough, as g vemef* to his daughters, in which fituation howev er, tye remained but a ih>rr time. In ' 1787, Ihe fettled in the metropolis, and had recourfe to her pen for fubfiftence. Here fhe purfued her literary labors; wrote iome ot her molt popular proJactions : The Anfwer to Mr. Burke and the Vindi cation of the Rights of Women i.^anfl? ted feveral works, and contributed many articles to the Analytical Review. In 1792 (lye went to Paris* where fl»e became ac quainted with Mr. Gilbert 1ml iy, by whom fhe had a daughter. She had always en tertained the moil violent prejudice agah.lt the conditions of European marriages. She did not think it confident with the nature of man, for him to cnter*into an indiflolu bie union. Site did not like thole recipro cal legal refponfibilities, which take away the individuality of a&ion and conduft. Mrs. Godwin, as file frankly acknowledges* took upon her the duties of marriage without the ceremony—fhe lived with Mr Irrfiay. She was now more than 33 years of age. The connexion did not prove fortunate. Mr. lmlay difappointed all her hopes, lie abandoned her. In April, 17or, file retur , red to London. 'The conduct of Mr. Im I lay drove her to defperation, and (he ar ! icmpted to put an en J to her life, but was I prevented. Her mifery incrcarfcd, and the 1 again attempted to deftroy herfelf.
