f cf this tyrant, the knot U indissolubly
tktl. We car. never separate ourselves
frmn him i he will cling faster than
the O'er o/Mclita. It non appears
that his aim is to bring the American
|profile [for, we fear, be is sure of the
friendship of their government] over
to his interest, by seizing upon theii
property, both in France and other
countries. He wants our assistance in
* humbling England,who alone, has with
stood his mighty power. This has
beenartlullv secreted, for a long time,
but it has burst forth, both in his own
actions, and those of his minions in A
merica. Shall we lend him our aid in
oppressing his greatest enemy ? Shall

FOR THE GAZETTE.
FeUw-Citiznis,
WHY do we *let/i on the brink of
ruin ? 1 he gulph is before us ; and
ambitious Faction, made insolent by a
* little b”ief authority,* and by our in
difference anil inactivity, is already pre
paring to burl us into the awful abyss.
Where has fled the noble spirit which
animated our brave fathers in 1775 ?
Ar« we so soon degenerated from such
renowned ancestors ? Has civil, consti
tutional, republican freedom no charms
for us ? Has despotism no horrors in
our views ? Can we contemplate its de
structive effects without disgpst or e
m o’ion ? Or are we the easy dupes of
artifice and deception ?
Have we yet to learn, that the men,
who are now urging us to war with
England, and an alliance with the mili
\ary Despot, who has already chained
the nations of contineutal Europe to his
bloody car—that these men were the
revilers of Washington, and the bitter
opposers of his pacific impartial policy ?
Do we forget, that it was the object of
these men to unite the destinies of this
happv country with those of France in
1794 ? And have we hot full proof, that
lor the sake of appeasing the ambition
of Bonaparte, who is aiming at univer
sal domination, they are ready to sacri
fice the wnole commerce of our coun
try ? Do we not perceive that4 the hand
of Aapoieon’ is in every movement of
the Cabinet at Washington ?
We hear no complaint from our Ru
lers against the government of France,
though it has violated the express pro
visions of a solemn treaty; though it
has ordered the capture and burning of
our merchant ships ; and though it has
repeatedly passed decrees grossly hos
tile to all neutral rights.
We admit, that a war with France
ought, if possible, to be avoided. We
should endure much : but not an inter
ference with the policy and objects ol
our government. This is tou i' g‘ a
point of national srvrreignty” which
should never be perm’ ted. Let us be
just, impartial, independent. Let us
adopt that mode of conduct toward G.
Britain which candor and fairness,
which good policy and our best interests
dictate. And then if the insolent Des
pot of France is offended, let us repel
his assaults, and appeal to heaven tor
protection.
The policy of our Rulers is evident
ly either weak or wicked. They eith
er fear to offend the preat Emperor of
the Gauls ; and arc disposed to concil
iate his fj\cr at the expence of the na
tion’s peace and prosperity ; Or they
are at heart admires of his despotic
power, and w ish to aid him in his at
tempts to enslave the world. They a
pologise for his base treachery towards
his former allies (the Spaniards) they
rejoice in his successes over other prin
ts ; and they are indirectly [at least]
assisting him in his plans of destroying
»11 the commercial nations, that lie may
tyrannize over the world without hin
drance or controul. And be it remem
bered, that several of the men in office at
the southward are relations of the vrife of
Jerome Bonaparte, whose Son is declar
ed a Prince of the French empire, and is
* op ported in a princely style in this coun
try.
In truth, Giles and other leaders of
the faction make no secret of their in-j
tendons to involve our country in war
with England. And in prosecution of
this object, every circui istance is mis
represented and every thing perverted,
^hich has relation to our concerns with
Great-Britain. No doubt, it was deter
mined by the Cabinet to quarrel with j
Mr. Jackson, before he ever landed on j
•ur shores. He was therefore provok-,
cd ; his writings misconstrued, and un-l
founded charg s brought against him,
a ul when ail would not avail, it was de
clared he had insulted our Rulers tho’
they are unable to point out the insult
Au appeal was then made to the pas
sions cl the people, and the case pre
judged before correct information was
received or reason had time to operate.
And this affair followed up by throwing
abusive and menacing language in the
-fin of tbe B iti.vb government.
I nat some of the British officers have
I
done Ui wrong, we readily admit. Rut
that government is evidently disposed to
make honor.iole reparation, and treat
j wiiU v*-» on terms of reciprocity. Lei it
; be here remarked, that Kngland is now
| struggling for self-government, and for
the rights of n an ; while the despotic
government of Prance is seeking to ag
grandize ifself by the subjugation and
misery ol all other commies. The
once free and happy people of Switzer
land, of Holland and of Venice, are now
the humble tributaries of Bonaparte :
and they live only to contribute to the
gloty and splendor of the mighty Jim
ficrur of France. We mean not to con
demn the people of France. They are
not in fault for the tyrannies of Fapole
on. 1 hey are groaning under the
w* ight of his arbitrary power, and si>
cretly pruning to be delivered from the
•ppressions and cruelties ol his despot
ic reign. And shall Americans assist
in augmenting his power, and in filling
up the measure'of the sufferings of his
wretched subjects ?
W here, then, we again interrogate,
is tlte spirit of freemen ; who, while
they know how to value their own inde
pendence will not quarrel for trifles, nor
provoke other nations to acts of hostili
ty. If the Brilish government or min
ister have attacked oui liberty, our in
( dependence or our honor, our 4 swords
shall leap from their scabbards* to a
venge and punish the insult. Ilut rash
ness does not become a Republic, whose
best policy is peace. Such was not
the conduct ol M nhington : Nor does
the occasion require it. The British
have assailed our national rights : thev
nave not attacked our national indepen
dence. They are ready for negotiation.
They have repeatedly attempted it.
Shall not the people, then, lift up their
voice, and let it sound from Georgia to
Miine, in opposition to the mistaken
policy and ruinous measures of a fac
tion, before the die is cast, and tlie clari
on of war shall have marshalled the yeo
manry of the country in hostile array ?
Speak, Americans, and ye are yet safe.
But it ve continue inactive in this mo
ment of danger, your liberties are gone
forever ; and ye will seal the ruin and
slavery ol your posterity. MAINE.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mr. Shirley,
As your paper has an extensive cir
culation in the counties of Lincoln,Han
cock and Washington, you are requested
to insert in your next number the nom
ination of
Hon. Theodor’ Lincoln, and
Mark L. Hill, Ksqr’s.
as candidates for Senators for the eas
tern district the ensuing year.
These ocntlemen, it will be recol
lected, received the suffrages of the
Federal Republicans, last spring ; and
a few votes were wanting to have se
cured t eir election. The citizens in va
riousparts of; he district havelately been
consulted, and they cordially unite i:i
recommending these gentlemen as still
worthy of the confidence of the people
at tt.is critical and alarming period.
To those who know them, any re
commendation is unnecessary. Their
characters will stand the test of severe
. ..! _ i i • i •
acruuuv. i nitu^M iiiiiiduic in meir
j dispositions and conciliating in their
manners, though wholly removed from
all party spirit; they are firm anti de
cided in their adherence to the princi
ples and policy of the immortal Wash
ington, and which ate still necessary to
the welfare and prosperity of our coun
try. They have been much in public
life. 1 hey are acquainted with politi
, cal characters ; and they will steadily
pursue the great interests of the State.
Arid these are times, surely, when
able and honest men should be placed
in authority. A powerful faction which
formerly opposed the Constitution, and
censured the measures of W ashington,
are now determined to plunge us into
War with England. As in 1795, they
were opposed to all intercourse with
Great-Britain and condemned the com
mercial treaty made with that country,
merely to gratify the wishes and to sub
serve the views of Prance ; so now, they
are determined to keep no terms with
the English nation (though our com
mercial prosperity catt no otherwise be
preserved, and that government is rea
dy to adjust all difficulties on just and
equal principles,> but to provoke her to
commence hostilities against us, and
thus throw us into the arms of the
French Emperor, the greatest Despot,
who is now permitted to scourge the
earth.
Fellow-Citizens, we beg you to con
sider the situation of the country, and
to remember that our political salvation
depends opposing a vile faction, which
lives by mischief, and leads to despo
tism ; and by confiding our liberties to
honest,able md independent Statesmen.
w4 Citizen of Lincoln County.

Democrats ! Countrymen f Brethren !
HEAR me, for my cause! for Vis the
cause of all ranges—and the cauce, be cause
I speak-Liste.i, that you may hear ; and
be attentive, that hearing, you may under
1 stand. Democrat* f O, there is music in
the sound—“ moat eloquent music ” Maik
how many pleasing changes ! It comes so
“ trippingly” fr< m the tongue !
Democrat* l EmocratsJ Mocrat* / Ocrats !
Crats ! Rats /
O, Democrats—sure “ we have done the
State some service.” Have we not been
strenuous supporters of the prolific Embargo,
and all its whelps ? Non intercourse lias
been the theme of our delight—we have i
chaunted its praises “ the live-long day,” & '
through “the lingering and sober night.” J
We have bent the knee to the magnificent |
Emperor of the whole world, and arose and
pronounced him-blessed ! We have
invoked the vengeance of the Most High, on
those blood-hounds, the English, for “ u*
surping” the seas, and outrageously daring to
contend with our Most Puissant Emperor,
fof their insignificant Island. With mingled i
astonishment and applause, have we beheld •
the butchery of the self-styled “ Patriots of
Spain,” who were silly enough to think—
that because they were bred on the soil*
they had a right to it. But we rejoice,
“ that, he our Emperor, whose right it is*
shall reign.”
L.ioeriy—totality—tratermty—is our mot
to. The world ovce subdued, the Millenium
is to ensue. Jefferson, “ the Statesman and
Philosopher divine,” has recommended the
Chinese policy “ What need have we of
ships or merchants—down with them—Let
us rather turn spinners and wearers all.”
We^re good demons. You know we
havPieen tried, and found “ wanting”—we
however very earnestly wish to keep our
places—our loaves k fishes. And now bretli’
ren, if you will again lend us your voices &.
palaver, we’ll with the people make them
believe
“ Wrong it right,
“ Black it white.”—
We will make you all drunk as Lords be
fore we part.
Cato, the great Cato, [not old Cato the
i fiddler], but the Roman Cato, who ruled in
| ** Grease !*’ was a great man—much the
size of our citizen Chairman. Cato was a
great man, and a good man ; and rather
than go out of office, he went out of the
world : he threw himself upon his sword.
Shall we be less enthusiastic than old Ca.
to ? Shall we survive the disgrace of being
pointed at by the slow, but unerring finger
of scorn? No. Rather let us die, all— die
nobly—die like Dsmi-gogues ! !

“ Northern Editors.” !
The (Georgia, not Boston) Colum-!
bian CentiHel, a democratic paper,
which has heretofore manifested many
indications of independence, says that
! some of the Northern Editors have
abandoned the cause of their country,
and attached themselves to the British
Minister. This assertion is totally
false. The editors alluded to advocate
what they honestly deem the true inter
est of their own country, and if the de
fence of Mr. Jackson incidentally min
gles itself with their patriotic investiga
tions, it is what they cannot help, and is
not inconsistent with even Spartan or |
Homan patriotism. Let Justice be '•
Done, if the Heavens rush to ruin1 is
one of the most celebrated adages of
antiquity. _
