A correspondent, speaking of the adjournment of Congress from Philadelphia to Princeton, says, that as the union is the great dignity of America, and without which we have no Sovereign character abroad, but diminish into petty individual States, exposed to every foreign insult, and subject to internal disaffections: we cannot pay too much attention to its support; it is our Magna Charta, our great and Sacred charter; it has been our salvation, and is the only foundation on which our salvation can stand.

Our correspondent concludes with remarking, that if the King of England was to withdraw, every time he conceived himself affronted, he would long before now have been in Hanover --- but he is used to them; and it is very remarkable, that our American tumults (if they may be called tumults) are the most orderly, quiet, harmless and peaceable of any in the world: -- we are now as still again as ever.
