lixoLVSy 20 ami 7:
Mr Adams,
IT is very seldom that I read th
Eastern Argus, I have dune it howcu
occasionally, and fi om what 1 hare see
of it, 1 have ever conceived it to be .
paper fraught W4H wilful misrepresent
ations and the most flagrant falshood
designed to deceive such as were desti
tute of proper means of information ,
and with other things puerile and sick
ening, to minds formed for correct ap
prehensions.
A few days since a particular friend
of mine, who had accidentally met with
it paper from that press of the 14th of
August, and had been shocked by read
ing a piece in it, signed “ Mount of Ol
ives/’ brought it to me. I tbmk Sir, I
am constrained to say, I-never read a
7»y thing uke it. I certainly consider it
as the most vile and blasphemous publi
cation 1 ever witnessed defiling a page
in a public newspaper—and Insincerely
hope, the grand inquest of this county
at the next session of the Supreme Ju
dicial Court, will not let the editor pass
unnoticed ; but adopt such measures as
the mature of the thing requires, Ibr if
our presses become sinks of blasphemy
they ought to be suppressed. I hope
however, that this publication will not
much strengthen their party ; for altho'
it never has bem cusey for me to con
ceive, that a well informed* unprejudi
_ ' » 1 • a a a
L-a, uiorougii going aemccrat, coma
b- a mte.v, humble and spiritual c'liist*
ian, yet, there are undoubtedly a good
lv number, even in the District of
Maine wi;o have, by being n . i sin forth
ed, imposed upon and deceived im
bibed very erroneous polilicul senti
ments, that are serious and godly peo
ple. Such people, as well as others,
when they see their dear redeemer,
whom they believe to be a divine per
son and really and truly GOD, and up
on whom alone they depend for salva
tion, treated blasphemously, and spo
ken of in a manner that shocks all del
icacy, must feel an idignation peculiar
to their new mid sanctified natures, and
turn from such writers, men and meas
ures w ith a detestation that becomes
those, who can u be angry and sin not.”
I am glad to find that even democrats,
w ho never made any pretences to reli
gion, consider it as one of the vilest
things that can be written, nor is it
harsh and unpleasant to me, merely be
cause our Saviour is thus vilely said to
be “ the first and greatest democrat that
ever existed,” for it would be equally
so, if he was said to be the first and
greatest federalist that ever existed.—
’Tis the profanity and blasphemy of the
expression that shocks me and others.
I shall attempt to make but very few
comments upon this profane and blas
phemous publication, considering it as
too weak as wed as infamous and wick
ed to require any particular and regu
lar answer, for there is not a single ar
gument in the whole of it, nor any
thing that applies exclusively' to poli
tics of any kind. As to the reputed
father oi our blessed Saviour, the man-:
Iter and place of his birth, nor the per
sons he stlected for his disciples, have j
nothing more to do with mere political
sentiments, than they have with the va-J
rious occupations in which mankind,
arc 'engaged to obtain a livelehood ;,
but, that u pure and unaclulterate Chris
tianity is founded wroliy in demorra-(
cy,” is an expression that cannot be
V read w khput horror. I sincerely hope
every serious republican thicugU^ut1
the commonweakli, may have an oppor
tunity to sec atid read the publication
in which i: is asserted, that they may
know wnat manner of persons their
leaders are, then let them sa^if they
can, that they appear to oc possessed of,
pure unadulterated Christianity. “ Ii
any man hart: not the spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.” Docs the spi rit of
Ci.rist, lead men to vilify the mmistdrsj
of Cnrist and apply to themthe awful
denunciations God made to Scribes,
and Pharisees ? If so, *\the house is
divided against itself.” How dare you.
then Mr. Writer, undertake to de
nounce a doom which belongs to God
only. What didfcod say to Aaron ano
Minam his own children ? Wast thou
not afraid to speak against my servant
Moses ?” Has not our Saviour said,
He that despiseth you, despiseth me,
P»nd he that despiseth pie, despiseth
* him that sent me ?'* No one supples
that every person that pretends tp
preach, among the standing Clergy,
are ministers of the gospel* but it is to
be ! loped a great number of them are,
and Christ owns them,' blesses them
and their labors, ana has promised to
be with them to the end of the.world,
and “ he that toucheth them topchetl
the apple of his eye,” and those that
contemn them will certainly feel his di
vine resent nent. The business ol the
Apostles and ordinary ministers is ve
•
) %
yj different. When the A folk's bad
reached tlxc gospel and gathered
lurches, they ordained ministers over
iem—these ministers were not itiner
nt but settled. That some illiterate
ircachers are pious and do good, I
lave no dfoubt, but will Ml*. Writer,
iy, they are all so, and that no others
e ? Does he compare them with the
Ypo'stles'? Where then are their gifts
f tongues, their power to heal the sick,
disc the dead and cast out devils 1 !—
iut can this writer be so foolish as to
* appose, that the epithets of u meek”
*' piece makers,” &c. are exclusively
pplicahle to democrats ? - God forbid,
must confess I should look any where
in the world, for the exemplification of
,hose excellent graces, sooner than
Wksh the leaders of that party, from
Thomas Paine, down, down, down to
a modern Counsellor. This writer en
quires of his readers, “ did they not
charge our blessed Lord with an intent
to turn the world upside down ? I an
swer him, no, there is no such charge
recorded of him in the Bible. He asks
further did they not crucify him for
spoiling their craft ? 1 answer, no,
there is no such reasons given for his
crucifiction in all the New Testament.
He goes on—“ When the pious Mr.
Whitfield came to Boston, the regular
Clergy told him, they were sorry to
see him there, his a swer to them was,
“ so is the devil.” It is not true. Doc
tor Chauncy a preacher in Universal
ism was the only one that made the ob
servation. The regular ministers of
Boston were generally, much in favor
of Mr. Whitfield, as well as other pi
ous ministers through the land, and
the Universalists are generally demo
crats, so that the foundation of the dev
UV hatred of go^d men is applicable
only to democrats. CALVIN.

SECRETS WORTH KNOWING.
£The following ib a copy -of the Prefident's
Confidential Meffage to Congrefs, on the
6th of Dec laft. It is copied from the
“ Richmond Enquirer,’a democratic paper
of the first celebrity in Virginia ; and for
fume time pah, friendly to the politics and
views of Mr. John Randolph, and his par
ty. This precious document is accompa
nied in the Enquirer, by a very length* fe
ries of remarks, unfolding the real merits
of the important tr^nfactious which took
place in Congrefs during its fecret fittings
Thefe remarks, are attributed iu the foutb

PRFSTDENT’S MESSAGE.
“ The depredations which had been com
mitted on the commerce of the U. S. during a
preceding war, by pepfons fu.:der the authori
ty of Spain, are fufficicntly, know n to all.
Thelc made it a duty to require from that
government iue [unification for our injured
citizens. A convention was accordingly en
tered into between the riinifter of the Dinted
States at Madrid, and the tniniftcr of that gov
ernment for foreign affairs, hv which it was
agreed,tha* fpoilations committed by Spanifh
fubjeifts, and carried into ports ofSpain, fbou Id
be paid for by that nation.and thar thofe com
mitted by French fuhjects, and carried into
Spanifh ports, fhould remain for further dif
culffon. Before this convention was returned
to Spain with our ratification, the transfer ol
Lotufiaua by France to the United State!
took place . an event as unexpected a^bii
agreeable to Spain. From that moment fht
feemed to change her conduct and dilpefuior
towards us. It was firft manifefred by iiei
proteft againft the right of France to aiienatt
Louifiana to us, which however was foon re
tracted and the right coofirmtd- Then higi
offence was oun&fod at the aft of cetigTfcff
eftablifliiug a colitxlion oil the Mobile diltridf,
although by an authentic declaration imme
diately made, it was exprefsly confined to our
acknowledged limits ; and fhe now refuied to
ratify the convention ligncd by her own min
ifter under the eye of his fovereign, unlefs he
would confent to alterations of it# terxns.which
would have affedfed our claims againrt her for
fpoilations by French fubjedis carried into
Spanifh ports.
“To obtain jurtice as well as to reftore
friendlliip,( I thought a fpecial miflion advi
fablc, and accordingly appointed James Mun
roe minifter extraordinary and plenipotentia
ry to repair to Madrid,' and in conjuciion
with our minifter refident there, to endea
vour to procure a ratification of the former
convention, and to come to an underftanding
with Spain,as to the boundaries ofLouirtana. j
It appeared at once that her policy was to re- ,
ferve herfelf for events, and in the mean time,
to keep our differences » an undetermined
date This will be evident -from the pape »
now communicated to you. After nearly
five months of fruitlefs endeavour to bring
them to fome definite and fatisfadfery relult,
our miniftter ended the conference*, without
having been able to obtain indemnity fpolia
tions of any deserif ticn, or any fatisladlion as to
the boundaries of Louifiana, other than a dec
laration that we had no rights eaftward of
the Iberville, and that our line to the w’eft
was one,which would have left t:s but a firing
of land on that bank of the river Miffiffippi.
Our injured citizens were thus left without
any profpedf of retribution from the wrong
done, and as to boundary, each party was
to take its own eourfe. That which they
have chofen to purfue will appear from ifie
documens now communicated. They auther
ife the inference that it is their intention to
advarceonour pofTeflions,until they fhall lie
repreffed by an oppofing force. Conrtderiug
that coupreis alone coaftitutionally inverted

from pease or war. I have thought it my du
ty to await their authority for ufing force in
any degree V'hich could be avoided. I have
harely inducted the officers Rationed in the ,
neighbourhood of the aggreflions, to. proleift
our citizens from violence, to parole within
the borders actually delivered to us, and uot ,
to go nut of them, but when neccffary to re
pel an inroad, or to refeue a citizen or his
property: and the Spanilh remaining at
New-Qrleans are required to depart without!
further delay.—It might to be noted here, that j
fince the late change iu the Rate of affairs in t
Europe, Spain has or lered her crullers and
courts to refpetS our treaty with her.
The conduit of France, and the part fhe
may take in the mifunderfhndfngs between
t he United States and Spain, are too important
to be confidcred. She ## prompt and deci
ded in her declarations, that ouf demands on
Spain for Freuch fpoliauons,carried into the’
■Spanifli ports, were included «1 the fettle
ment between the United Spates and France. ;
She took at once the ground that fhe had ac
quired no right from Spain, and had meant
to deliver ns none tadvva:d of the Iberville ; ,
her filence a* to the w eft irn boundary, leaving
us to infer her opinion might be agaioR Spain
in that quarter. Whatcvec.ziiruction fhe
might mean to give to thel^ differences, it t
docs not appear that Ihe has contemplated
their proe'etaing to aTuil rupture, or that at
the date o'f our laR advices Rom Paris, her
government had any fufpicion ot the holhle
attitude Spain had taken here- On the con
trary, we have j-eafon to believe that fhe
(Franco) was difpbfed to off dt a frttlement on
apian analogous to what our miniRcrs had.
propofed, and io compreheulive at to remove '
a-> far as poftble the grounds of future eollifion
and controverfy on the eaftern as well as v eft
ern fidd of the Miflifippi.'
“ U he prtient crifit in Europe is favorable
for prcffiug fuch a fettlcmcnt, and not a mo
ment fliouid be loft in availing ourfelves of it.
Should it pafs unimproved our fituation would
become much more difficult. Formal war is
not neceffary it is net probable that it will fol
low ; but the protection ol eur .citizens, the
fpirit and honor of our country require, that
lorce fheuld be mterpofed in a certain degree!
It will probably coutribute to advance the on
jeCF of peace. - ;
M But tjie courfe to be perufed will require
the command of means, which tt belongs t©
ccmgrefs exchiRvely to yield or deny. To
them I communicate every fa& material for
their information, and the documents necef
fary to enable them to judge for themfelves.
To their wifdom then 1 look for the courfe I
am to purlue, and will pur.ue with fincere
zeal that which they (hall approve.”
The publication of the above meflhpe wa» ac
companied with the following remarks, and
coming from a democratic fource, the}’
j will command the notice of the candid of
that party.
“ The Secret Committee, after a
short recess, was again convened on
the 21st Dec. As they were about to
assemble, the Chairman (Mr. J. Ran
dolph) was called aside by the Secre
tary of the Treasury, with whom he
retired, and who out into his hands a
paper, headed “ Provision for the pur
chase .of Florida.” As soon as lie had
cast his eyes on the tide, the chairman,
declared he would not vote a shilling.
; The Secretary interrupted him, by ob
serving, with his ‘ characteristick can-1
tion, that he did not mean to he under-1
stood as recoin mending the measure,
hut if the committee should deem it ad
I viseahle, he had devised a plan for ruis
jing the necessary applies* as he had
bevn requested ( directed) in that
case to do. The chairman expressed
himself disgusted with the whole of this
procedure, which lie could not but con
sider us highly disingenuous. He said
!t that he was as sensible of the impor
tance of Florida to" t e U. S. and as
willing to acquire it ho.1or?bly as any
man but he would never consent to
proceed in this way : that the most
i scrupulons care had been taken to cqv
’ t the reputation of the adtninistratioi
whilst congress were expected to act
‘if they aad no character to lose :
That whilst the official language q
, he executive was consistent and dign

nounced “ r/ia* lAr protection of our citi
zens, as veil as the spirit and honor oj
mer country rendered the interposition oj
that force, necessary f declaring at tlu
same time u his determination to pursue
the course which the wisdom qf Congress
should prescribe congress ivas priv
ily required to take upon itself all th
odium of shrinklwg from the national
honor and national dtfence, and of de-'
livering the public purse to the first cut
Ithroat that demanded it. From the
official communication—from fne face
of the record, it would appear t lat the
executive had discharged his duty in
recommending manly and \igorous
measures, w hich he had been obliged
o abandon, and compelled by congress
to pursue an opposite course, when in
fact congress itself had been acting all
the while at (executive instigation.'*
The chairman further observed ‘4 that
he did not understand thin double set of
opinions & principles ; the ant ostensible,
to go upon the journals and before the
public, the other efficient, ai d the real
motives to action ; that hq. held true wis
dom and cunning to b • totally incompati- ;
ble in the conduct of great affairs : that
he had strong objections to the measure
in itself, but, iu Hie shape m,which it
was presented, his repugnance to it Was
insuperable.” And in a subsequent
conversation with the president himself, !
in which these objections were rceapi;- ,
ulated, he declared “ that he too had a ;
character to support, and principles to
maintain, and avowed his determined
opposition to the whole scheme.”

BOSTON, AUGUST 30,
MIRANDA'S EX I E R PRIZE.
We have conversed with a gentle
man who left Trinidad abont the time
Miranda sailed from thence on his eli
te rprize.-—The troops lie had been able
to embody were not numerous ; but,
they confident of success.—The ruun
4 • »■ , . - f . .
ber did not exceed 500 ; though more
were exacted.—The squadron consis
ted of seven or eight armed vessels,
and it was1 said they were to.rendezvous
it MargarettaVan island off the' Span
ish Main coast, previous to the descent
on the Maine. A few South Ameri
cans had joined Miranda at Trinidad ;
mid it was * reported, 20,000 were in
arms, in thd* Ct.rruccas and Cumanu,
ready to aid hyn. They had received
accounts from the Americans taken in
thi schooners ; \Vho were treated as
prisoners-of war. It was reported that
some French I roops had proceeded
Irom Gmdalotipe to assist the Span
iards agairtst Mil and i.
The officers appeared publicly in the
uniform at'T; ini dad ; where they were
addi-essed by theft military titles—such
as Gen. Armstrong, Col. Kirkland,Xa
Smith, Sec. It was Said die cause of
Capt Lewis quitting the Lc arder was
a quarrel with Miranda. JCT’An ac
count received at New-Yo.rfc, states,
that the whole of Carracc as was in re
volt in fai or of Mir«Jida, and that twoar
mies, of ftbm 10 to I5,poo, one com?
manded by Don l’edro Kioto, were in
the field, w itirig Miranda’s arrival.
Mil aiida sailed from Trinidad the 25th
July. -
It is asserted as fact, that Mr. Mup
roe, the U. States Minister at ths court
of London, w ill return home the ensu
ing'atitumr.—preparatory to the grand
canvas for the next Presidential elec
tion.—As any treaty he may form with
Great-BVitain might possibly affect his
popularity, he will take; care to leave
that business to Mr. Pinckney. Mr.
Munroe will be run in opposition to
Mr. Madison—The latter will receive
Mr. Jefferson’s patronage and influence.
—Mr. Munroe will be supported bv
all the Randolph democrats ; and * e
foresee the u Aurora** and “ J£:iquirn•’*
w ill be the laboratories from which the
engines to carry his election will be is
sued.—It is probable Chancellor Liv
ingston will likewise be a candidate.
'I he Philadelphia Gazette of Thurs
day last, says, “ We are concerned to
state, that by recent arrivals, positive
Information is received of the preva
lence, in certain West-India islands, of
an unusual degree of sickness we
have been particularly informed, that
this is the case "ith St. Jago de Cuba,
and Port-au-Prince.
DISTRESSING INTELLIGENCE.
By an arrival at Philadelphia, in 16 days
from Laguira, intelligence is received of the fate
of the unhappy prifoners, who were taken in
the two fchooners belonging to Miranda t ex
pedition.—The advices received by this at ri
val flate, that ten of the number/who were
I Gppofed to held Commilfions under General
Miranda, were hung, their heads taken off, and
expofed to public view on pikes ;—that the
failors, amounting to about 48, were fentenced
to 10 years confinement in the mines; and of
the entire number, there was but four bovs,
who had efcapcd the vengeance of a Spamfli
tribunal.— The Philadelphia Gazette, gives the
names of the principal officers who have been
thus deprived of their lives, in the following
manner :—
“ James Ledlie, formerly of this city. He
was induced to join the expedition at Port-au

i i3^The New-York Commercial Ad vender,
in noticing this intelligence.obferves:—“ The
probability is that the Government of Carrac
cas, has been waiting for orders from tbe Span
ish court—There has not been futfieient time,
for information to reach Madrid, aud for the -
cpnkquent orders uf tbe Spaaifli govern meat
to return to Carraccas.—Having waited thus
ion , it is not very pro'pable that the Governor
of that territory would now take upon hin- •.

loners. At any rate, the relatives of thofe
unfortunate men are yet wat ranted to hope
that they llill live, and that, before orders fer*
their execution can arrive fr< m Spain, they
will be fet at liberty by their triends and ac
