NORWICH. March 4.
Says a correspondent, the present time affords a striking similarity between the two spirits of a Republican and a Niggard. While the latter stands aloof to those generous principles which actuate the noble and the great, the former, too tenacious of his freedom, forbids a participation thereof to the Grand Council of the nation; fearing the communication would tend to the misuse of a power, the exclusion of which, he thinks, will one day prove destructive to the liberties of America.
