And toil and fcrape to fwell the heap ;
Say, can thfc heart that's winter cold,
Of wealth and fruitful pleafurcs reap ?
Say, can the foal, iu feIf that's wrapt.
The blifi of pure enjoyment talk ?
Ah no ! when feeling’s chain is faapt,
How void the heart, how dre^r the waftc !
"NYas it for this poor creeping thing !

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.

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.

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

cannot make me a villain.

Wafbtngion* Ftb. 3, 1805.
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,

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,

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
