upon the subject of insolvent debtors into i
*!>ur columns for the present —It is from j
die pen *»f * sincere and strenuous advo- J
cal ofor an “ ias9ivcnt act," and one who is .
fully acquainted mith the motives of the Le- \

purpose of counteracting certain false irn
nreUions ? which the illiberal public*- J
[ions in a late number of the Freeman’s
friend were calculated to ma«wc. I
jgR. M’Kows, ... i
I observed a communication in your
Jast Paper, relative to Insolvent Debtors
which,1 not only excited my surprise,
but indignation It contains many false
and infamous suggestions— That the
pimple have a right, in an orderly anti 1
peaceable manner, to petition the L— ,
eislature, and give instructions to their
Representatives, is cheerfully admitted ■
_I3L,t this right may be abused, it ,
©tight not to be resorted to only in ne
cessaiv cases.
The writer states that repeated appli-;
cations have been made io the Legisla
ture to pass a law for the relief of Insol
vent Debtors—this is correct. But in t
the next paragraph he says u suffice it
to tail that our addresses, and petitions
have been totally disregarded, or what is
worse they have been trifled with" This
is a gross and palpable falsehood. It
will he recollected that Gov. Gore re
commended an insolvent law in his in
augural Speech. A committee was ap
pointed at the June session to prepare Sc
report a bill for the relief of Insolvent
Debtor^—Judge Parsons was chairman
of that committee. The reason why
that committee did not report, at the
winter session, I have understood to
be, because the Hon. Mr. Dana, the
famous democratic Senator, a member
©f the Committee, would not attend at
any ot their meetings.
A committee was appointed at the
late Session, consisting of Mr. Sullivan,
31r. Story, and Mr. Jackson, to consid- !
tv this subject, and report at the next !
Session.— To make a law which shall,
on the one hand, afford effectual relief
to Insolvent Debtors, and on the other,
to guard and protect the rights of the
Community, will require time, atten
tion, and deep reflection. Such a law
ought not to be the work of a day. This
is the principal reason why a law af
fording relief to this unfortunate class
of men, in some form or other, has not
as yet been passed. Have the petitions
on this subject, then been totally disre
garded ? Are not the assertions of the
writer manifestly false and ungenerous !
He further asks, what ought to be
done ? And recommends that Town
Meetings should be called, to remon
strate against the rising of the Legisla
ture, and he insinuates that they ought
to be compelled to pass an insolvent law.
To hear such languagt from the lips of
a Me Farland, or a Snays, would not be
surprising. But to Ami such princi
ples, openly and boldly advocated, by |
one who professes to be a Federalist,1
is certainly astonishing. The writer
cannot be a federalist—he is a u vvoli in ,
sheep’s clothing.”
In the concluding sentence, the wri
ter savs he believes that the Legislature'
is ruled and directed by a rich and pow
erful party secretly opposed to such a
law, and which is commonly known by the
name of the Essex junto l becharge
that the Legislature is ruled and direc
ted by a rich and powerful party,I know
to be false. It is a charge which no
mm of honor would have dared to
make. What! is a ma , *iity ol the Le
gislature guilty of receiving bribes, and
blackened with the foul crime ol perju
ry ? The slang about the Essex Junt o
will not avail. 1 his bug-bear is always
conjured up by democratic writers,
when they have exhausted their store
of facts and arguments Hence the
Essex Junto stares you in the lace at the
beginning of almost every democratic
essay.
I would here ask, what relief could
be afforded to Insolvent Debtors if De
mocracy should triumph in this Com
monwealth. Th* democratic party is
known to be decidedly opposed to an
Insolvent Law. No relief can be ex
pected but from the federalists. I trust
that the suggestions of this writer,
which I have proved to be false and
* Hind less, will have no effect on the
d of any candid and intelligent man.

We can this week present our readers
with some small intelligence from Europe, by
t tie arrival of the British packst, Eliza, from
Falmouth. She brings London dates to
J in. 13. It appears that the new. of Mr.
Jackson’s insult had reached England, but
w as not expected to produce anv warlike
effects towards us, if we may judge of the
di .posit-on of the British government by the
single assertion of the Times, an anti-mm
isterial paper. From this paper only, the 1
most important extracts are made. That
the intention of oar government in their con
duct to Mr. Jackson, was manifestly to cre
ate disturbance with England and to please
tlie Emperor of France, cannot be denied ;
but whether this hostde disposition and th
ru't on uur part, has excited any resentment
in the British government, we have yet to '
ler»rn. We cannot give any credit to this
information, because the mere opinion of one
editor, and of one too, wdiose sentiments do
f\ot coincide with those of his own govern
ment, cannot he taken as a proof of the de
terminate sentiments of the ministry of En
gland.
2y the doings of the Canadian Legisla
ture, we can perceive the fallacy of our gov
ernment’s vie ws in coercing the British Prov
inces By a report of a committee, it ap
pears that “ the province is now in a state
to defray all the expenses ot the govern
ment.” This they have never before been
able to do
OF CONGBESS,
What shall we say l Shall we tell our
readers that the majority are living upon the j
people’s money from day to day, a.id with- j
out endeavoring to extricate them from the <
hobbles into which tly?y have plugged them ?
They have not the inclination, if they had the
ability, to help the people. They are con
tinually making laws, and unmaking them.
One moment they give tbe people hopes of
a restoration of prosperity ; the next, threa
ten lliein with a war with England ; and so
they go on lo linger the time and to gorge
the pampered parasites of the administra
t win
Mr. Macon’s bill, as amended, has been J
entrusted to a committee which are all De- 1
viocruis, all JVarfumcls, all Commerce-haters, ■
except one, Mr Dana. It is expected they

course, Embargo, and War Policy.

AVe solicit the attention of all who
are desirous of solid information, to the
communication signed “ Citizen,” on
our second page. Let not its length
deter any one from a candid and accu
rate perusal, for they will be abundant
ly repaid by the solidity of reasoning,
the nice discrimination of political in
formation and research, and the wis
dom of conclusion which it contains.
The honest inquirer after TRUTH,
will there find a pretty minute account
of the progressive strides of democra
cy and misrule, for the last 8 or 9
years.
More French Protection.
Capt. Bragdon of the schooner Trim,
arrived at this port, on Friday last,
from the West Indies,-She was
captured by the French Pirate or Pri
va’eer, Superior, and robbed of every
species of property on board, amount
ing to several thousand dollars—They
were about setting fire to the schooner,
but an English vessel heaving in sight,
she was given up. The commander
of this privateer gave Capt. B. a certifi
cate that he plundered and burnt all A
mericans under the Berlin and Milan
decrees. The said schooner was a
Southern built vessel and has done im
mense damage to our commerce.
The people of the U. States are told
in a contemptuous and traiterous man
ner, that u French Enmity” is an old
Story. Yes ! it is an old Story, and a
story that we lament to say, we aru too
often obliged to repeat. The frequent
information we receive of the rightful
pioperty of our own citizens being cap
tured .i.*d the lives of our countrymen
sported with by the terrors of Flench
prisons, is enough to cause every man,
w ho has any interest in the welfare of
our country, to be incensed, to be enra
ged, and to draw from our prejudiced
and unfeeling rulers the reason that
these evil deeds are thus suffered tume
lv to /toss unpunished—For a further e
lucidation of this subject, the reader is
referred to a piece on the first page of
this day’s Gazette.
After these repeated instances of out
rage and perfidy, we think it will pret
ty generally be conceded, that under ex
isting circumstances,&w negotiator with
France, should be the sword ; our mm*
sion, ij they dare approuch our shores,
| should be red-hot balls ; our diplomatic
pen, should be the point cf the bayonet ;
and fifty thousand men, with courage in
their hearts, and with presented arms in
■their hands should constitute our em
bassy.
I low long will those persons who
have hitherto borne the title of demo
crats—and some of whom we believe
to be of good judgment and accurate
discrimination—how long, we say, can
such men bear the falsbood and absur
dities by which the party is held togeth
er ? We believe that patience has done
her perfect work, and that they' must
have iiiose eyes opened which have so
I
B EBD Mad 1
long been sealed up with democracy—
the clay of Frenchified liberty, and the
sfiittle of an alli a k c£ w11 h 1 it a sc e,
and a war with England^ must certainly
unclose them.
The alarming condition of bur coun
try is sufficient to make any reasonable
man depiecate the conduct of those v\ ho
have been the cause of it. But when
\*e see the Chief Magistrate of the U
nion stooping from his firide of filace
for the paltry purpose of influencing a
state election we cannot restrain our in
dignation. These sentiments must a
rise by the perusal of a letter from
James Madison to hen Stark, and which
was evidently intended as a sfiur to set
that superannuated old horse a kicking.
We feel no ingratitude towards Gen.
Stark for the services which he did per
form, during the revolution ; but we
condemn his conduct in suffering him
self to be led away thus, to use tiies e
services as a handle to effect the ambi
tious views of some unprincipled dem
agogues. —

The following extract #f a letter from

tion.
“ The U. States are on the worst
terms with England, and appears seri
ously and sincerely disposed to adopt
our system.”
By a u return” of the Secretary of
War, made a few days since, it appears,
that since the 1st of January, 1809,51
commissioned officers have resigned, 16
have died, and 6 have betn cashiered by
courts martial. That out o/' 1667 troops,
523 died between the \st of Alay and the
\5fh of November—6 months and 15
days ; and that, of the same body o/'1667
621 more were sick, making together,
1144, and leaving 523 ; and the secre
tary adds, that, “ the number of deaths
will be found eventually to exceed those
stated in the return.” It seems, by
the purchase of Louisiana, we have ob
tained, not only a grave for our money,
but for our men. It is a melancholly
