W^, fc him. who fcpft's at cur Re<,
deemer and 'mocks our faiffi, she has
afforded neither c^umcnance'nor fop
port. Our reprefen ration in Congress
Carries the character of intelligent,con
stitutional Fedqrzliftf; it Hands beyond•
^ reach of fear; persuasion, or corrup
tion. It is the source of our pride,
that our Stats Government has exhibit-I
fd correspondent features. ---The gen -|
tleroan who has for some years been
annually elected our Governor, has
done equal honor to the State and tp
himfelf. We have teftedin his integrity
and his talents. We have seen him,
firm and immoveable, 'refill every at
tempt to undermine the fabric of our
Constitution. A' genuine Republican
in sentiment And habits,an upright Red-:
faft Chief Magistrate, he defies the ma-'
lice of his enemies to.impeach the irite-|
gtuy of his public or private life. At
tached to the principles of the Revolu-i
lion, and in love with the wisdom of ;
our Ancestors, he gives no place to thel
illusions of philosophy, and the schemes of|
ambitious innovators. When the Gen-|
era! Government strayed from its firft|
principles—when the maxims of Wan
ington wet.. -forgotten, and the wisdom
of Adams defpife'd—he manifested, as
. was his duty, his entire disapprobation
of such measures. When he saw the
moll valuable meh in society wantonly
. driven out of public employment, and
an attempt made to crnth them beneath|
the proud arm of power—when he saw,
the National Judiciary violently as- I
faulted—when he,faw burdens need- I
lefsly continued on the poorer class
es of'fo{jety to relieve and gratify
the rich ©d luxurious, he had b^en
inexcusable if he had not borne his
unequivocal testimony ^gainft the fol
ly and madness of the . times. At all
times firm, at all tapes,'CTuHftent ; the
fame now as when you fir(t. entrusted
him with the management of yo.ur pub
lic concerns— he is thetaoft comfpicu
ous candidate for y^r Iforages at the
crifuing election. But be isnot the on
ly candidate. Therein preferred tp you,
fellow-citizens 1 , a man ^f fey diTerebt
opinions, polities ap'd character. It is
difagreable to denfere public,characters
in the n,wfpapef&,but we rennet entire
ly separate mex from meafures.'.. AV^
cannot think of America, of what it
„was, what it is, and what it probably
soon will be, without mingling a consi
deration of those men who/hi^ Ifted,
and are now a&ng their federal parts
in the political feene. Os Mr. Lang
con, it is enough to fay that he is a
zealous and active .partisan cf the de
mocratic inteteft. With his whole heart
and Rreqgth he fupport.si. the present
fyffefn, ^nd seems willing to 'go any
lengths which the ministry may pleife
to dictate. At this late hour, we must
not tamper with. Democracy, nor d:T.
guise fads. We are juftified jn fup
poting Mr, L- Unfriendly to bur Na
tional Constitution, and to its most if
Juftrious founderfrby, his opinions, and
by the party to which he attaches hirt
felf. The journal's of Congress prove,
that he attempted id '%;, by .a coalition
with Gallatin, Giteand ottert, to pull
down the conftituticnal prerogative of
the Senate, by wresting from that bo-)
dy the treaty-making power.,.. We
know that Mr, Jefferfon has repeated
ly avowed bis dislike of our Conftitt
tion ; we,kntyfe that Mr. L. Nthe ar
dent & exclusive friend of the President.
What is the conclusion ?=-Thoixas Paine

national compact; nd word's me equal
to his virulence; no means fufficient for

Thomas Paine, and, like the President
wishes success to' his "irfefal labours ;"

Waffiington.; yet he can fee bis memo,

er had, disgusted- his friends by his
ebfervations on,that fubjed on his
way from Philadelphia to Ports
mouth. Fascinated With fyfe hope|
of being Vice-Prehd^nt; he defeated ' the
New-England interests, and carried Bill
• vote, voice and influence, int, .the scale
, of Democracy. He who affects to be
the poor man's friend, is the know; ad
vocate of those measures which repeal
edt^e taxes on refined sugars andlux*
urious carriages, and continued them
on cheap teas and salt.—Mr. L. is, as
it were, lord proprietor of every na
tionalofficefor the State ofNew-Hamp
fhire, and seems to dispose them all ac
cording to his Sovereign pleasure. Even ;
3 Deputy Post-Master is no longer fore'
of his office than till Mr. L. is advised
that he is a Federalist. 1
Fellow-Citizens, these are the men present
ed to your choice. On the one, hand'you fee the
principles of our ahceftors,the maxims of Wadi
ington, arid an ardent attachment to the Con
stitution. On the other, ydu beheld the wild- 'j
nets of a (hallow philosophy, the threateningi
deftru&ion of radical changes in 'our govern
ment, and the vengeance pf disappointed ambi
tion, Mr. Gilman is the friend of the Religion
we profels, a participator of its hopes and prom
fes. Mr; L. is, one and, entirejhe coadjutor
of that Chief Magistrate Who profeffes it _no
\ matter whether there be twenty Gods or one,
who Turns a Saviour “ that was born in a man

Notwithstanding the uncommon ex
ertions of Tuefday to support the re
fpeaive candidates we are happy to re
h'ark that good humor was generally
apparent through; the day. Determin
ed as the Federalists were, t® give their
ticket a Spirited support, it was feared
by some, that the day. w,ould not pass
°" without accident—-these fears ^were
groundlefs-.it Was mutual policy, to
preserve peace, and on this, and we hope
on every fyeceeding occasion the best of
policies will prevail.-

• Thus'even Portsmouth, on whose
fcfferfonianifm,tlie whole Democracy of
N^wharripfhire place their firmefthopes,
has faultered in the ignoble race, and e
vinebd,that she wriot yet impregnable
to truth zndfederal;fa. The causes that
have produced this.pleafing change in
the public voice shall be briefly stated.
First. The practice of examining the
votes as thrown was. on motion cf a
Federalist, overruled by the Moderator:
Thus the principle of balloting was pre
served, as eleabrs could then exercise
their political principles without the
danger of being, “marked out.?' .
. Secondly, An-early and unde+iating
attention pf the Fedfaifk throughout
the day Thus many young Mechan
ics and laborers .feeing-they ffiould be
Supported in the right of Suffrage, obey
ed the decisions of their judgments, and
voted for the Federal lift. ' . <
:Thirdly, The ,violent and indefe^h
ble abuse of Federal, .characters by
Democratic writers, have not a lit
tle conspired to produce this event-
Men -whose lives have been examples
of integrity care, and punctuality—
Men ever firft in every a& and institu
tion to adorn and improve the State,—
Men of the purest ,views, and most up
right minds, have-been loaded with
epithets too odious for repetition. Dis
gusted with such unprincipled violence,
Meh of sentiment have left the party
that would stoop to such measures for
advancement, and Supported men who
were the objeds of refentment,fo malig
nant and unjust.
J These are the causes that have pro
duced an alteration in the vote of
Portsmouth..
his bosom the vipers of deinn and infidelity—
Our dislike to Mr. L. is not the offspring of ca
, price ; ip is founded in^his known desire to in
troduce great changes to our form of Govern
ment, in his unmeaning pretension to excluGve
patriotism, and in his continued patronage of
infidels and calumniators ; and our approbation
of his rival, our prefect Governor, rest in the
wisdom and firmnefs with -Which he Readily op
poses the deceitful schemes of innovators, the
ticketing lullaby of philosophy, and the hypo
critical sing song of reformation. r

“ A resolution was laid before the Senate yes
terday, for inverting the President of the U. S.
with diferetionary power to conErua and equip
and to employ for service on the Miffifippi, sr
elsewhere, a number of gun boats of freh a
conftrudion as may be deemed neceffiry. for
military purposes, and calculated for cruisers on
our foutbern coast. The proportion underwent
various modifications, the number of vessels pro -
pufed being 8, 10, and at length 15 ; the com
mittee to whom this was referred reported in
favor of 15, and an appropriation of 50,000
dollars for the service. The fubjeft was again
difeuffed this day, and, the measure parted the
" ?fondaj, 21st fan.
t The Senate were occupied this day with
ciofed doors on a message delivered this niorning

on counting the whole number of votes,
it appears there were 116; Mr. Pick

As all.the bad news which goes from trie
Island is generally fycry.much exaggerated, em
brace with pleasure an opportunity direct for
Bofton,,to give you an account of the affair
which happened a fewnay part on*he mountains
diredUy ba# ofthe Case. ./About the jth* inst.
It was reported intown that the brigands were
Collecting op those mountains, and intended to
dtfeend then! to attack and enter the Cape, the
report was,coxed upon as absurd (feeling ou,^
fejves very strong), consequently -not attended
to. The sth irift.'at about three iq the morning,
we were awoke by the fire of the mu&etfy, arid
fobn difeovered that the brigapd§ had attack
ed the habitation qf Meheye,where there wasg
(mad post, arid two ether places equally near to
the town. Meheyc and .Defobr^c wers fopn
set fireto ; out no more mifehief was done, ex
cept the loss of one Officer and three or four
men on our fide; the brigands then fled arid
have not been seen in the mountains since.
The next morning, about the fame time, our
.rops of the line ongynadc a sortie into the plain
.with the dragoons of the Cape, met the main
body of the brigands, commanded by ClerYcanx
and Christophe, gave them battle; and complete
ly routed them. Upwards of ?,00 blacks were
found dead upon the field ; we had 15 or 20
wounded, and very few killed- . A captain of
hotle in the,.Generals guard de honneur,wound
ed Clervcaux in Angle combat, and would have
taken.him but for a musket ball which (truck
him in the groin and threw him from his horse.
Gen. Rochambeau left here about ten days ago,
with about 2000 frefh troops, which will doubt
less flop the progrefs.which the brigands are
making In the South. We are in daily expec
tation of very large reinforcements that have
failed from different parts of France. Gen. R
ochambeau is indefatigable in.his exertions, very
brave,and his name only is terrible to the blacks.
While he was here with less force than we now
have, we saw nothing of the $UCmy. Since our
arreftation, the American commerce has been
put upon the fame footing as the French, except
only higher import duty: and we have been
repaid the-money we were forced* to lend.

- 'LOUISIANA! . „.
Mr. Refs rose in his place, ^nd called the at-,
terition of th§: Seriate to a'fubjeft in which he:
felt very great interest. He went on to make a
most elegant arid argumentative harangue upon
the gross & unprovoked indignitiesheaped upon
the citizens of the United States, by the Span
iards at New-Orleans, and in other parts of the
- province of Louisiana, arid intimated that he
should conclude his speech by offering certain
Resolutions, such affye thought die dignity of
the government demanded,
He proceeded for about an hour, when hap-.
pining to mate a remark refpeding two million,
of dollars, which he had seen mentioned ip a
newspaper, Mr. Wright rose and called him to
order, for betraying the.fecreto cf the House of
Representatives
The Vice- Prefllent laid that he did not per
ceive any thing that was not in order.•*'
Mr. Nicholas hoped the doors would he clofeff
Be did not think that a proper fubjc& to-dis

Mr. Ross said as fcon, as the doors were clos
ed he should cease; Ke felt no &po'fition to
difeufs that fub^c^ m fegret. There was no
thing of a confidents! nature m it. He should
therefore keep f.lence while the doors wepe
chafed, and whenihey wete opened'he should
proceed. '
After cdufidcrable irregular converfatiop the
galleries were cleared, and the doors closed.
T,ESOAY,'feB.If.
A motion was made t® amend the minutes by
expunging all that was laid refpeaing the me
morial of the aliens presented, yffterday by Dr.
Logan, and also all mention of what concerned
Mr. Rofs's speech and the trahfadions which
followed it. Upon the latter motion Mr. Ros,
objected that it ought not th be ftticken out, as
there was now a gueftion depending relative to
keeping the doors clofcd, which was tohe taken
by year and nys . Both p a %cswere 'ftric^n
out. The galleries were cleared and the doom
clofcd. Ihe Senate remained with elefed doors
until near two 6 clock, and adjourned soon after

. WtoNE^DAY^ F.EB. 16.
The galleries of the Senate were again clear
ed, and the doors remained clofcd for a confidc
rable time! After they were opened Mr. Refs
rose and expressed his faisfiaion @iache was at
length, and after the " extraordinary tranfa&onl
which had recently taken place, now allowed to.
proceed with atiifcuffion of a very important
lub;e&, which he had introduced three days
since, and that,, notwitnftanding the opposition
of fomc -honorable gentlemen on that floor, a
majority ®f^he. Senate hdd confuted that he
should be indulged in the difoffion, and that
the difeuffion should be public.
Mr. Ross then proceeded at considerable length
in a very masterly difetiffion, which he conclud
ed by offering the following
RESOLUTIONS:—
