the NOtaEies Public and Justices ofthe Peace in Connecticut. are Federalisls." Very well ~-if the Federalists are nos prescribed on principle, why may they not be appointed to seat in Congress, as well as to interior sta lions? The Eederalists enabOdy more than one half of the talent of the State--tis mad ness to deny it. Mr. Barber may tune at the remark if he will, but tis true -and he k'tOtOs it. We can vsOint to half a dozen members of the old Federal party in Connecticut, who are superior in strength to the best Democrat he can tesignate. This fact is owing tO eau sts which are by na means discreditable either to Democrats or DemOcracy--bat stiU the fact erists. Under such circumstances, what is our duty? If we are to renounce party spirit ip dn9' case for the purpose Of se- curing the services Oi men Of talent, why not do it in those cases where talent is most fseed- ed? Why draw upon all the intellectual treasures of the community tO fili the offices of Notary Public and Justice of the Peace, hut cOnfine ourselves to less than one half Ot inc available talent of the State, tn selecting members Of Congress1 live need talent a nywhere, it is at the seatOfgovernment Our own home affairs can easily be adjusted by ,nen of ordinary. capacity at,Washing- ton, our interesis are brought in direct collis- ion with those of the other States--and we want men of courage aud ability there to vim dicate them. live are to make display Uf our magnanim;ty, it is a silly affair to make it where tt can be ofno utility to ourselves. and hut little to any One else.

 We now call upon Mir. Barber to say ex- pressly whether he would think it advisable for Massachusetts and Rhode Island tO dis. pense with the services of Webster, Dwight. B0rgess. and Robbins. Would be have them excluded from Congress to be made Notaries pubhc,, and Justices of the Peace fnot. let hin, give some reason why he supposes the tue policy of Connecticut to be different in respect to Federalism and Democracy, from that of her sister States. We are tired to death of hearing him talk without idpas.-- Ii he is disposed to find fault with any partic- ,ilar ,neaslres that have been advocated in Congrrss by the Frderalists ofth+ New Eng. land States, lct him tell what they are--an.l fine has ans particular reasons io apprehend that the Eederal,s,s Of COnnecticUt would pursue n0re objectionable course than iheir brethren from other states, let him state those reasons.--l6.
