rence to the forms of the Church, or to any dilpenfation from the Flead of the
C» urch. The fa& is, that his marriage was comraifted during the period
when marriages were conlkiered in Frauce as mere civil contracts, and were
not ce'ebrated in church. The parties went before a Municipal Officer,and
were there regiftered as man and wife, without taking any oath, or obferving

From WJSHLYGT0j\\ Feb. 24, 1810.
“ Yesterday an atten^pt was made to bring on a general engage
ment concerning Macon’s bill but the enemy avoided an action.
rj hey stem determined to confine themselves to their entrench
ment which they think very strong, having a “ Sail Mountain” to
cover their right, and a morass containing innumerable “ horned
Jroga” to cover their 1; ft. Their citadel is formed of the shell of
a monstrous 44 Jerra/i n ” In this imaginary strong position they
are commanded by their Genei-al to keep close, and not suffer a
straggler io go out of the camp lest the dogs should catch them, j
T,' ty pretend they cannot bear44 submission” and therefore are
d ti mined not to risk a battle. Their Adjutant-General seems to
b worn down to the sit j of an eel-skin, in distributing orders from
nead-qoarters through the camp. How long they mean to remain^
iu this disgraceful situation to the scorn and ridicule of the whole
nation, cannot be ascertained. But it is said their General feax*
a engagement, as defeat would be their utter ruin. He calculate*
mucl. upon gaining over by promises and fair speeches and pre
i ik es, some who appear in the lines of opposition to him, and as
•Mires them if they will join his standard he will distinctly point
out to tntni the 44 insultF* they have received. But at present they
snake their heads and tell him they are to be deceived no longer,
and should they remain firm they are sure of victory, as the ene
my, ii they w ill not fight must surrender at discretion. Attempts
will be m.ide to bring on a battle de die in diem.”
We have waited till this time to see, whether the government
papers would deny, or explain, ti e declaration which has been for
some time abroad—that the Chevalier Unis, was authorized to ad
just the boundaries of Louisiana with our government, and to maki
compensation to our merchants for Spanish depredations, to the a
wount of eight million's of dollahs. We have not observ
ed that it is denied, even by Irvine or Duane. Mr. S. II. Smith,
the mouth-organ ol the administration, appears also to be silent
W e are then induced to conclude, that the assertion, made origin
ally in the “ Baltimore Federal Republican,** is true, and that the
powers of this gentleman were made known to the President,
who, notwithstanding, refused to acknowledge him as Minister
from the Spanish Patriots, i bis conduct in our administration,
can proceed from nothing but servile fear of France. They ap
pear to Ik* governed entirely in all their Joreign movements, by a
sense of Bonaparte's sovereign will and pleasure. Why is it that
we tal k cl our ind prudence }. Every part of our system of poli
cy dis , races us. When the administration talk of fighting on land,
it is hv running to the mountains, and at sea, by diving under water.
Terra/ti.is on land, and i jrpc does on the re-iter, constitute the sum
ot out* national courage, and modes of warfare. If ever our pulse
rises high enough to go beyond this, we threaten to take Canada !

“ That among the lower classes of society, some miserable creatures

no subject of astonishment ; but that an/ man who has received the advan

should prove guilty of such tu pitu fe k profligacy, is justly a subject of ad
miration and regret. We wonder at his impudence in daring to look an
honest man in the face, after such scandalous apostacy ; and we lament
the degradation of human nature in the fall of one from reaped ability and
honor, to DEMOCRACY, INPAMY, and CONTEMPT.”
FELLOW-CITIZENS OF MAINE,
PERM1 T one whose interest is inseparably connected with your own,
and who must stand or fall with the cause of his country, to address you.
In attempting to bring to your view circumstances and facts, well known
in your history, a humble hope is entertained that the friends and foes ol
your country’s welfare will be clearly designated. In the mirror of history
we behold the objects to be sought for on the one hand, and avoided on
the other. In the history of our common country since the adoption of the
present constitution we ’may behold a fair experiment of the principles of
the great contending political parties. By their fruits ye shall know them,
In 1789 the grand fabric of the Federal Government was ushered into
existence. At that critical period the situation of our country had become
truly distressing. Emerged from the storms of the revolution—a specta
cle to all the world—perched upon the proud summit of liberty and
independence it remained for some time in doubt whether we should
form to ourselves a government of equal laws, stable and durable as the
pillars of truth and justice—or crumble into anarchy and confusion.
It was perceived by tha wise and good that a national government was
absolutely essentia) to national existence. To protect and encourage
commerce—to withstand the intrigues and machinations of internal ene
mies ; and repel their external aggressions—to secure the discharge of
the price of our independence—and to provide for the common defence
and general welfare nothing short of a superintending and pervading con
troui of and efficient confederation could be in any degree adequate. The
national debt then hung, like a mill-stone, about our necks—a domestic
insurrection gnawed at our very vitals. Wretchedness and misery hung
depicted upon every visage.
The constitution of the United States was at length recommended, ap
proved and adopted. But it had its friends and its enemies—those who
supported and those who opposed it. It was at first confided to its friends
—to your beloved Washington, and his ^and of worthy compatriots. Its
enemies however forgot not their opposition. They continued with ceaselet
efforts to thwart every attempt to carry it into operation. The vilest arts
were resorted to for the purpose. For twelve years however they were
resisted. 1 he country flourished beyond all former parrallel Commerce
increased—the husbandman grew rich—the arts improved : and the pay
meut of the national debt was provided for by means imperceptible, and
e\en calculated to enrich tfie country.
The system thus adopted and improved needed only to be left to its
natural operation and the prosperity of the United Stales was in a manner
guaranteed. As the nation increased the income to the Treasury must in
case in the same proportion while at the same time the national debt be
mg paid oil in annual installments must decrease and thereby annually de
crease the demand for the money winch might accumulate in the Treasu.
ry. In this way there could not finally be a surplusage in the Treasury.
At the end of twelve years we saw the original supporters and framers
•>f this inestimable system hurled from their posts. The system, however,
was permitted luckily to continue its operation. It had at this time begun
o ba equally productive to the Treasury with the wants of the govern
ment. And Uie annual increase of nearly one million, being in proportion
to and a fair index of the increasing prosperity of the country accumulat
ing in the Treasury could not and in fact did not fail to produce an annu
ally increasing surplus. Accordingly in 1807 the surplus had become
icaily fifteen millions of dollars ; which might have been applied to the
(urchase imd discharge of the national debt, not yet due ; or to any other
valuable purpose.
Till the y»*ar 1807 the country had remained at peace. The svstenss a
aopted by Washington had been pursued without a single alteration in a
matei ial point as it respected the operations of the Treasury department ;
although it had been violently opposed in its formation by the very men
who had now succeeded to its management. At this period they com
menced their mad career. A non importation of certain articles was, at
arst determined on from Great Britain. This was a short-lived experi
ment ; anil as futile as it was short-lived.
A few days prior to the memorable 22d of December 1807, it seems,
ne President, then Mr. Jefferson, had received a private communication
f,oni trance. He extracted a part of it with his own hand ; and sent it to
^ongresa to be considered with closed doors ; at the same time recom
mending what was improperly termed an Embargo ; but more properlv a
light, rigid non*intercourrfe with all the world. With closed doors, and ill
midnight session this famous act was crowded through the two houses
it Congress ; and instantly received the sanction of the President. Two
or three members, who had been known before that time to have gone
hand in glove with the administration, then declared, that “ the hand of
Napoleon was in that thing.”

merely precautionary, always usual on the sudden apprehension of war.
This pretence was satisfactory to some who did not look into the provi
».ons ot the act; and were contented to believe that it contained nothing
mure than its title imported. Many who understood not its provisions wore
made to helicTe that its restrictions were to operate venders—That it was
u) humble the proud masters of the ocean ; and of continental Europe ;
and prostrate them at the footstool of the American government. Others
igain were frightened into a belief that war or this measure were our only
alternatives.
At this time France had the controul of the continent of Europe ; a re
gion containing at least seventy hve millions ot inhabitants ; occupying the
tairesi and most fruitful part ot the habitable Globe ; accustomed to the
most intimate commercial intercourse among themselves by means of in
numerable rivers, bays and seas. The commerce of the United States
with that country every body knew was but a drop in the bucket. Wheth
er continued or not would be there almost wholly imperceptible.
Great-Britain, at this time, was mistress of the ocean. Her commerce,
exclusive of that with the United Stales, more extensive than at any for
mer period : The tonnage of her merchant ships the greatest ever known
10 belong to any Bower : And only sboi^ one hundredth part of it, as ap
pears by the books of our collectors, employed in commerce with the U
nited States. The whole coasts of Afr ica, Asia, the East-Indies, South
America, the Wesl-lndies and a great portion of North America were
open to her exclusive commerce. With at least two hundred millions of
inhabitants in three diflerent quarter* of the Globe her trade was upon a
more lucrative footing than at any former period. Add to all which, that
she has a population at home containing about fifteen millions ; the wealth,
iest ever known ; who, if blockaded and confined in the most rigorous
manner to their own island, could not, by such means, be overcome while
t me should last and water run. The population and wealth of the colonies
ofthat nation is many times d-mble that of the United Stales. These are
truths which cannot be disguised from the British nation ; and there can
be very little reason if any why we should deceive ourselves witli regard
to them. * ©
Phi* latter power it was that the Embargo was in fact levelled against.
1'he provisions ot the act itself, as well as all the predictions and preten
tions of its friends, clearly evince that fact. But it faded of its object, as
every man ot the least political foresight, predicted that it would. The
resources in the power of Great-Britain could be but lightly atlected by an
exclusion from our commerce. Confining our navigation within our own
water* could only operate to give her the exclusive, unrivalled commer
cial intercourse with nearly three quarters of the habitable Globe ; a iuo
nopolv that could not have failed to more than compensate for the loss of
intercourse with the United States. Such a conflict could be ruinous only
to ourselves. 3
This policy was but a source of laughter and ridicule to the British
government. It shewed our ill temper, but did not excite even ©complaint
on their part. Our Minister at London, by order of our government
once gravely proposed to that government, that we would repeal our ein
i baigo it they would withdraw their Orders in Council. The British min.
i .stry at first affected a little surprise ; and said they had always under
' Uiat the embargo was not occasioned by the orders in council. These
, j . 0.'M
orders not having been known to err governro *ni at U.e time t|-C€^
wk» enacted. Why the one, therefore, should be i gned f..r ille
i was not to be eksily understood. This f*cl couhl mu be denied bv "*
Minister. Bu: the British Ministry further remarked in .» man^r *1
could not hut make every citizen of the U States feel for the lumor of?
Country, that “ Hi* Majesty would not hesitate to contribute, U1 “**
manner in his power, to restore to the com me ire o, the United State *'^
wonted activity: and if it were possible to make any ».tcr Jee t, r*
repeal of the Embargo, without appearing to deprecate it as a mca 14
of hostility, lie would gladly have facilitated its removal, as a mraMi
inconvenient restriction upon the American people ?! * *
His Majesty could view this famous measure it seems, which w3s
work his ruin as a measure of inconvenient restriction only upon ouP( *
citizens And now let us see how we could view it after its tuoMiveri V
restrictions “ hud well nigh mined our country." On the first of Musi
1809 the same Congress and the same J*i ‘Sitlent, which imposed ti?
restrictions, finding they had eventuated as lud been predicted, Wu *'*
any equivalent whatever, or stipulation on the part of Great-Britain d- V
crately yielded up and repealed them.
To save appearances, however, a feeble non-interconr?e
substituted iu its slesd ; which,under some modifications has contiriu 'l 7
I this time—A system wliicli serves only to lo.mpci and emharr , ' 19
commerce to no purpose valuable to our country. O.ir comment

those who originally manufacture or produce the commodities ; runs's \ J
Before the close of the present session of Congress the whole t 1
restrictive system is to be utterly abandoned. Its more enlightened r itl.,*
candidly acknowledge its ruinous tendency.
Future ages wili read the history of this restrictive system with 1
ishment li will be vie weas an evidence of the degree of fanatic^,, t i
folly of which the human tnind is susceptible ; and will be classed V *
the witchcraft l>f our ancestors, the pilgrimage to Mecca, and tl e «!
sades to the Holy Land.
What can be now said about the two alternatives of Embargo or \yar,
We might possibly have had war, if we had wished it, and so w- m
still. No man is now mad enough t» suppose that the Embargo haa occl
sioned cither war or peace, or any thing else but ruin to out selves.
By the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, at the close of1809 is
appears that the surplus of-fifteen millions is ex ousted ; and Uut n
become necessary to borrow, at least, Jour millions of aol.ar,t , n)eit ?
current expenses of a peace establishment. It cuiinet be d ubu dth t°
but for the restrictive system, the surplus in our T;e .sury would have

it, has never been seen by any one, the then President -xcepted, that we
know of. The pari which was seen, was extracted in Mr. Jeffei son’s own
hand writing ; and was returned to him, at his particular desire. TLe
members ot Congress are not yet relitved from tl:e injunction of secrecy,
with regard even to what they can recoitect of this very extraordinary ex

present administration knew, when they negotiates with Mr. Entitle,u
April last, that he had no powers tor the purpose ; and that the] did it
under such circumstances, with a view to an opportunity to increase the
irritation ot the citizens ot this country towards Great-Britain upon tier
disavowing the act. But thene subjects must be reserved tor tutu re at
