formed it would but ill become us to
x say; conscious,however, that no means
have been neglected or any opportunity
has escaped, whereby our patrons could
be benefitted, or the publick could be
? gratified. Our exertions have unre
mittingly been directed to the perform
ance of our original promise “ to dif
fuse correct information.** From eve
ry source we have collected such as
bore the stamp of truth and interest.
Our political principles have ever ap
peared upon the front of our produc
tions—they are engraven on our hearts,
and are decisive, and, we trust, correct.
To disseminate political truth is to in
’ voke the gall and malignity of its ene-
with no inconsiderable portion. We
j have, however, always been willing to
conciliate, but never by a concession of
principle. The perplexities and em
barrassments of our national affairs, and
the want of confidence of a great portion
pf the community in the present gov
ernment of our country, have rendered
much speculation necessary, and have
caused much crimination. In these we
have ever been guided by the dictates
of reason, which are attended by no
small satisfaction in the circulation and
support of our paper. We shall still
continue to unfold the views and the
tendency of measures, and unmask the
.characters of designing men, unawed
by the slightest of fear. Our
columns have ever been open to all fair
and manly discussions that might in
the least tend to enlighten the publick
mind. In literature we have ever been
ready to publish whatever could inte
rest the scholar, and in morals what
•ould give pleasure to the virtuous and
enlightened. If our exertions have been
successful, we have a reward in the re
flection that we Lave in any way contri
buted to the stock of political or moral
virtue. If our labours meet approba
tion, we are rewarded in the favour of a
generous and intelligent community.
THE EDITORS.
By the New-York Gazette of 11th in
stant, we learn that John G. Jackson, Esq.
has resigned his seat in Congress. Thus is
it, that the men who have held the reins of
government, during the two last admin
istrations, after exhausting the treasury,
ruining our commerce, and embroiling the
nation with all the powers of are
one by one quitting the state car, which
their Ph®ton-like driving has nearly over
turned : well may these men by a precipi
tate retreat, endeavour to avoid the- thun
derbolt of publick censnre. A serious ques
tion here arises; What kind of men will
be etectetTtn place of these, who are tired
of governing r If those who are called non
substation men are elected, our case must
become, if possible, worse than at present;
for, •* non-submission** in the modern poli
tical nomenclature means aubmiaaioh to

men," or those who have honesty enough re
maining to abandon Jefferson's “ restrictive
energies’’ and the Congressional “ alterna
tives,** are turned out to give place to •• non
sbbmisskm men," alias French hirelings, we
can reasonably have no hope left for the
future prosperity of our country. The
•• alternative” of war with England, will
be adopted tn compel her to remove the
blockade of French ports, and give securi
ty for her future good behaviour. Bona
parte will with a dash of his Den. blot out
remuneration for the robbery ot fifty mill

It must afford peculiar pleasure to the

satisfaction to the publick in general, to be
informed, that the committee, appointed by
this town tc employ a suitable person to
inoculate with the Kine-Pox, at the ex
pense of the town, such of its inhabitants,
as were desirous of securing themselves
against the Small-Pox, which has proved
fatal to so many millions of the human race,
are now enabled to report, that they em
ployed Mr. Sylvanos Fanshkr, an ex
perienced Vaccine Inoculator, who cod-,
menced the inoculation the first of July,
and continued it, at such times and places
as the committee directed, for six weekM

pacity; a, French consul win take charge

in which time, he inoculated four thousand
three hundred and Jive inhabitants of this
town, nnd repeatedly examined most of
them, of which number three hundred and
twenty-one were blacks, and three hundred
and eighty-two had been previously vacci
nated, and were in this way tested. The
names of all inoculated were entered, in
the order in which they were inoculated,
in a book for that purpose, which has been
deposited among the records in the office
of the Town-Clerk. Throughout the whole
business of inoculation and examination,
the assiduity and attention of Mr. Fan
shk a were such as merited and received
the entire approbation of the committee.—
It is to this gentleman the publick are much
indebted for some important discoveries
Ind improvements, respecting this safe and
sure preventative against the Small-Pox j
among the most important of which, is that
of a preparation of the matter, by which
its virus may be retained and preserved
for years in any clime, and transported un
injured to any distant country. The instru
ment, with which Mr. Fanshkr makes
the incission in the arm, for tbe insertion of
of the virus, is of his own invention, and so
constructed, that he operates almost im
perceptibly to the patient, and with such
facility, that he has been known to inocu
late in about eight hours, eight hundred
and fifty persons, and many of them in.buth
arms. Mr. Fansher has been engaged
in Vaccination for more than eight years,
and from his great practical experience, is
perhaps better enabled to distinguish the
genuine from the spurious disease, which
is the greatest difficulty in this business,
than any other Vaccine Inoculator in the
United States. It is with pleasure we bear,
than the town of Newport has engaged Mr.
Fanshkr to Vaccinate its inhabitants at
the expense of the town, and we most ar
dently wish that other towns may follow
these truly noble examples, in this great
work of benevolence.

COMMUNICATION.
Agreeably to the orders of Brigadier-
General Bridgham, tbs second Regiment
nf Militia paraded yesterday, in this town.
The troops appeared unusually well equip
ped, and their manoeuvres were executed
in a superiour manner, and reflected much
honour on themselves and their immediate
commanders. The Brigadier-General and
his suite were equipped in a style of mili
tary splendour, which we have seldom seen
equalled. Their exertions have been uni
formly directed to the improvement and ad-‘
vancement of our too much neglected mili
tary But superiour to any thing
that eyer met the eye of man, shone the
Colonel of the Regiment and his suite. His
flaxen locks floated on the (freezes of hea
ven, and his visage would.have honoured
a veteran of Marengo.
" Around his brow such martial graces shine,
“ So lank, so awful and almost divine;
" Though some of larger stature trod the
green,
•• None match’d his grandeur and exalted mein,
“ He seemed a hero and his country’s pride.”
Scarcely inferiour to the Colonel bounc'd
the Adjutant of the Regiment, whose proud
and lofty deportment seemed formed ’’ to
give the world assurance of a man.** Next
came the Quarter-Master, like Milton’s
Aurora, •• treading on the silvery light of
dawn.** His grace and equestrian agility
•nd skill quickly marked him as a man
who was perfect in duty, and born to obey.
“ Man wants but little here below,
*• Nor wants that little lang.”
Tben followed in the train the Pay-Mas
ter, beautiful as the God of Love hinf
sclf, and valiant as Achilles. His charger
breathed fire from his nostrils, and seemed
In this town, on Tuesday morning last,
Mrs. Dkidamia Youifo, consort of Mr.
Samuel Young, merchant, in the 64th year
of her age. The dignity of her manners
was characteristlck of her mind, whicla
under a series of personal suffering, occa
sioned by a seven years confinement with a
painful rheumatism. was supported by that
fortitude and consolation resulting from the
blessed religion of Jesus Christ, and in the
full faith of which she triumphantly ex
pired.
On Sunday morning last, Mr. Georob
Brown, in the 65th year of his age. His
funeral will be solemnized this, afternoon
at 2 o’clock, from the house of his father,
Mr. Richard Brown, in tfifc Ne&, where
his friends and relations are invited to at

scarcely Jess elevated than his proud and
dignified rider. To the graces of a ma
jesiick deportment, he happily adds those
charms which imperceptiblyJtaptivate the
finer feelings of tbe heart.'To describe
his elegance, a mao must look as he looked,
and none can do justice to his feelings but
such as feel as ho felt. We could not but
lament that the day so soon closed. Next
came the Surgeon I! !
On Saturday evening last, Mrs. Sarah
Whipple, in the 88th year of her age,—
Descended from pious ancestors, who were
among the first settlers of New-England,
she adhered to the covenant made by the
Fat here, to walk in the right way <J the
Loan, Early in life she was led to choose
God for her portion, and in the light of bis
countenance her path became more and
more luminous, till the shades of errour
seemed to be lost in the brightness of the
vision. Although humble and unassuming,
she'was the faithful counsellor and friend ;
and many who were seeking that peace
which the world cannot give, will testify to
her affection and regard, while she direct
ed them on the way. Her funeral will be
solemnized at 3 o’clock this afternoon from
the house of her daughter, Mrs. Smart, in
Westminster-Street.
