He did no: hesitate, though the haz
ard of iiia popularity, to declare to the
Vorld the result ot' jus observations on
the progress of French infl scnce in
Ameiica.— I Its writings on this subject
are a vti ies of prophesy, which is every
day accomplishing. They should, with
Jus other writings, be read and ponder
ed by every one, as the productions of
talents, learning, wisdom, integrity, and
rr'iericnce, but more particularly by the
young, who, it is to be presumed, are
Tot as yet contaminated with deep
rooted and deadly prejudice toward
Fiencti politics.— To them wc would
recommend in a peculiar manner, the
■works of Fisher Ames,
• Ytriate maria diurna, njaurna xersate m mu*
. What can induce this strange love of
French principles and Frencmncn, is
beyond the power of man to calculate
or divine. An unprejudiced mind would
conclude, that the amity of Bonaparte
ns exhibited to other nations, indepen
dent of our own participation, could uo:
produce the most favourable impres
sions upon any cf cur citizens, or cre
me in them an invincible desire for the
»»embrace fraternal;** but would the
rather consider France, in her present
position, as exhibiting a countenance
<pialined to excite disgust and disaffec
tion, it not to gue foundation for alurn
and gloomy anticipations. Every day’s
enervation demonstrates that an opin
3 m like lilts would be erroneous ; for a
J irge portion of Amciicati citizens, par
adoxical as it may seem, view those
French attrociiies, which produce d.ep
jelt indignation in reflecting man, &p
refill y without disagreeable sensation,
i » Let as action* of valor deserving
tom ncndaiioit. ic is a truth not to be
controverted, that Bonaparte's most
p eposterous actions aud measures,
b fve more friends in America than
JTan:e, more strenuous advocates in
Washington than Paris. Bat we shall
1»e accused of dotting in unsubstantial
usnefiion, unless we adduce a few ex
* tuples in illustration. Spain was an
independent nation, enjoying, compar
ed w i<it tne despotism of France, a
■government Free and happy, Napoleon
despoiled her of her throne. Her sons
teluse to acquiese tamely in slavery,
bdt choose rather to m dntain tlre.ii*
(rights at the point of tne bayonet.—
't heir cause is as just as heaven. Yet
democrac y enlists on the side of Fi ance,
listens with avidity to the rumours ot
i.er success, and seizes with delight
every talc of her conquest ; nor does
■sue receive with emotions less pleasur
able, the reports ot Spanish defeat.—
Democratic papers arc replete with
windy arguments and thread-bare pre
1cXU, in justification of the conduct ol
France ; and withxndeavours to prove
(he propriety of Spain’s quietly “ kias
i.tg t »e rod.” Our government do not
openly take part with France; hut they
*q receive an authoiized minis

, tiie writer’s object lo make a pi >111 unvar

| ^VjJ^svon election and the proceeding*of the
: House thereon. He has drawn Ins infor
mation from the most unquestionable source,
from those who had ti.e beat opportunity
oi becoming acquainted with the facia.
At tiie June Session of 1809 Mr, fi i’obs
wis reitimed as tiie member from YVeston.
A Remonstrance f aun a number of tiie
moat respectable inhabitants of the town,
representing his election as having been il
legal and unconstitutional, was preferred
to the House, and lifer an impartial hear
ing beto e the committee on elections, and
a fair an l candid d.scussion in the liouie it
w is decided that Mr. Hjbbi was not enti
tled »o a »cm—The circumstances attend
ing his election, in May 1809, and in May,
1810, were a! must prcc’.cely similar. In
the u it ase, he was justly deprived of
hts seat, while it; the other he was permit
ted to retain it, as the writer believes, in
violation oi the laws ai.d Conititutioa of
the Commonweal, h.
I may not be imp oper to s'ate that the
CjrfuiMtiee on Electims, Ibr the present po
litical year, consists of four Democrat:*, jnd
o .e federalist. If to this charge precedent
should be pleaded, I answer that no preced
ent could juspfy such a procedurt. To this
Committee the Remonstrance against the
election of Mr. Hobbs wa* committed.
After two or three hearings the com mil tea
reported a statement of facts to die H m e
by winch it appeared that at the election
ot U.wpr4««M*ati»e for tl.<* town of Weston,
the vo.c* were 81 f<»r Eben. Hobbs, Esq,
and GO for Isaac risk, Esq It appears i,i
evidence before the Com mu., as I urr.
■ informed, that Mr. H bbs was Chaiiman
| of the Seltc men on the day of the election, '
i and that he took out two voics fiom the
b >x, and threw them away, winch we.e for
Mr. Fisk the IVdeud coiniidtie. These
votes weie given m by Alphcus Bigelow jr.
| and Woodbury Hill.
!■ wiilbe immediately percievcd from the
above statement, that as Mr. Hobba liaa 81
Votes and Mr. Fisk 80, if one vole tor Mr.
I .jik had been illegally rejected it would be
decisive of the question, lor in that case
there would have been an equal number
ot v iets tot each of the candidates, and con
sequently no choice.
*1' vvas a Hedged by Mr. Hobbs in justifi
cation ol bis conduct ps chairman of the Se
lectman, that B;gel>w and Hill were not
[ Ic.gJ voters in the town of Weston.
I.w s admitted that Bigelow had the
I cm i .lum mud qiiahii a ions of age and pro
perty to entitle Hint to vote for Rcperv_nta
li.'C, i).,t it w.<« asserted that tie was not
quaotied. in point ot rt st ico^e. In relation
to bus j) *bu i’. speared m evidedee, that
Bigelowwai bom in Vv eaton, that Ins father
had aiw*ys m.ue u the p'see ot ms resi
dence, and <u.i ■ btained a legal settlement
therein. After he aided at the age of
iw ibv •!!•*, he resided nine montns in
Chart iown, four in Boston, and five in
Lynn. S alter he becr.me a member
of Harvard University, where he has since
resided, except being occasionally at Ins
father’s, during the vacations.
The objections to Hill \v<* likewise want
of res’dence. It was proved that Hdi came
to reside in Weston in toe year 1807, was
twenty one in July lBoS, and on the first of
March following entered into a contract lo
work for a M'-. Upham tor the term of ten
months At the expiration of which, he
further contracted to work for Mr. Upham,
a year slier his return from an imendFd v.s
itto ms father’s in Brook ft. Id. He wm ab
sent from Weston on the above visit three
we» k*. when he returned and worked for
Mr. Uj hum according tocontract. It fur
iuitiler appeared that Hill's name was en
tered bv liie Selectmen on the lint of voters
at tiie April Election preceeding and was
struck otf tbe list by Mr. Hobbs at the R p
reaentaiive election in May: There ws*
some evidence winch went to prove that
Hill woeii he left Weston on me above
mentioned visit, bad no intention of rc.mn
tog to tuihi lus contract. It appeared how
ever, dial He aciu^lly rciuiurd, ill pursuance
ol hu» promise.
'Caere i-» another fact worthy of notitr.
It w t* proved tin* < na Uriah U’arnn, who
v » 1 f r Mr. Hobos, was permuted to
j Vovo by ih ’ Seic j men, shliuugU he bib
I been wl>sent from Weston the ytar preceed

really to admit ad Oivae having the consti
tmioiul puiquikUes, and very properly re
jicting those that bad not, and that the sit'd
clbeth Hobbs was legally chosen and is en
titled to a seat in this House.'’—Of the pc
ciili.tr eleg.nce, and grammatical scent acy
of the Report this short specimen will ena
ble the reader to judge.
The pnncipal ground on which the oppo
nents of toe Report instated was, that by
the tacts disci aed by the Report, Mr.
II >bbs was not legal!', elected a Kepresen
Ultve fiom Westmt oe ause if Bigelow was
not entitled to vote at the representative
•L'ctiun, Hill certainly was & on the other
t:nd, d iii.l wis m t entitled to vote, llg
clow was, and it <>nc vo,e H>r Mr. Fisk toe
h-der 1 .atndid.ie had been illegally rejected,
liicic w.ia no choice.
it was urged bv the advocates of the Re
port, among other things, that Hill had no
' i> h. to vole in Wes < n, because his l^gal
itsidei.ee was in the town where hu lather
lived. But il this consti uction were wr ong,
yet Hill had lost his icsidence in Weston,
by an absence of three vretks, without any
settled intention of returning.— In relation
iO B.gelow it was conceded that lie had
no right to vote at C«t»b. »dge while at to**
Uiliversnv, but it was contended that i.e
had left ins residence in Weston, by re*i*
ding m other places, and iflie had not gain
ed a residence else where, so as to entitle
hail in vote, the result was that he had no
right to vote in any place,
rouns u w« am.wertd, that it II Its re
sidence ought to be construed to he in the
town w.iue uis father resitted, soalso ought
Bigelows, in which case he had a legal
right io vote in V/eiton, and if his vote had
nut hv.cn rejected there would have been no
choice — Aii^i further, if Hill had lost his
residence in Weston by an abscencc of
three wetks without a settled in to nil n oi
returning, so also had Warier, who ab*
sent four teeth, wiihont a settled intention
of returning, but whose vote was received
by the Selectmen, and given for the silting
member.
The debate continued till late in the e
veniog, wheH tho question was taken,
whether the Report mould be accepted,
and Mr. Hobbs ue entitled to a seal in the
House, ar.d carried by a majority of seven.
It was pleasing, s&vs my informants to ob
serve when the question was taken that
I some of the conscientious democrats dest rted
their ranks. Among cube s, the venerable
1 Deacon Goodwin of Chai lesion, and the
Kev. Messrs Foster, Niies, and Stevens vo
ted with the federal 3ts. This was truly an
exam; '.e ot the triumph of conscience ever
tlir passions of party. A motion for there
jCons.deration of this vote was immediately
made and debated the gteater part of the
! next day, when the question of reconsider*
, tiou was finally decided in the negative, by
a majority of twenty;
The conduct of the Chairman of the Com
mitt.ee, tjhy.se age and exptrience certainly en
title him to respect, on this occasion, was
somewhat singular. He declared that, in
ins opinion, lue Committee had no right to
go behind if e return, in which case there
cou.d be ito d .am but that Air. Hobbs was
legally elected, as there was nc informality
t.o the face ut the return.— i ms opinion was
overruled, and the Committee wuil into the
investigation oi tlic facts.—He tlicn declar
ed that i! the Ir.cls which appeared lr. evi
dence were true,and lie saw no reason to
doubt the truth, Mr llobbs was not legally
elected. — When toe question was taken in
the House, ikowever, tic Voted in favour of
Uie Kepotl on the ground that the Commit*
ice had no right to go belimu the return.
The writer ha* thus performed what lie
considers a duty to the pubhc, unconscious
[ of any oilier motive than a regard for correct
principles, and ilte welfare of ins native
; Slate.—On the purity of elections depend
1 the liber ies ot our country—Whenever

of several respectable Indian traveileis, who
