Os the above many of the Federal Candidates
have bad more voter, but cue have invariably taken
the lowed number on both Jutes.
In the above towns there was in March
Just, a majority fa the Democratic ticket
of upwards of 1100. We congratulate
our friends on the pleafag appearance of
the Election —on the encreafingJirength of
pure RepulAicanifm—not the baflard Re
publicanism of modern date, but the noble
and pure principles that swayed the great
and modest Washington.
One evening while the Count d'Ar
tois and the Dukede Charires were play,
ing very deep with General Smith at Pa.
ris a petition was brought up from the
widow of a French officer, dating her
various misfortunes, and praying their
relief, a plate was handed round, and
each put in one, two or three Louis
d'ors a peice f but when it was held to
General Smith, who wasjuft going to
throw for a flake of five hundred Louis
d'ors, he said, "Hop a moment if you
If a person should die, leaving a large
landed estate to his Ton, betides bank
(lock, and a large sum of money on
hand—ls such a son should make a
parade of leffenirig his family expences,
by difmiding a few old servants; whilst
he raised rhe falsies of others not e
qually deferring —rif he should dismiss
others, for the purpose of intro
ducing fyeophants and parasites—-
if he should permit the lewd compan
ions of his abandoned and profligate
minority, to prey upon his substance,
and live rent free, whilst he in
creased the rent of the old, faithful
and attentive tenants of his father : If
such condu& should put him to the ne
cessity of (pending the ready money,of]
felling tbe dock and part of his land,
would" any one be so blind or so foolifh
as to praise him for his economy ? Yes
—all those who liyed by his folly and
extravagance —all those who lived by
flattery and servility, all those who were
neceffaty to supply food to his vanity,
and to administer to his extravagance —
all those, in fae, who depended more
on bis folly and wickedness, than their
own merit, for countenance and support,
would be loud in their praises, not only
of his economy, but of his diferiminat
ing liberality, wisdom, moderation,and
love of justice. But all this, would
not convince the relieving part of man
kind, who had observed his conduct,
that he was really possessed of any one
of these good qualities.
But, if he should fell this flock far
below the market price, would not eve
ry person believe that he was criminal
ly inattentive to his affairs, % entrust
ed them in the hands of corrupt a
gents ?—Whether the reader has ever
observed any persons guilty of condud
so absurd, and so inconsistent with
profeffions,we leave them to determine.
Whilst peace is univerlal, whilst we
have been enabled to reduce our army
and navy, and are no longer at the ex
pence of building vessels or erecting for
tifications — the Government is under
the necessity of felling the dock former
ly laid up, and which ought to be pre
served for sudden exigencies.
The federalifts, by their wisdom, at
tention, and real economy, were en
abled to meet the public expences, pay
off the regular portions of the public
debt, as the lav#directed, to purchase
a large quantity of bank dock, to meet
any sudden calls for money, and left,
when they went out of office, above
three millions of dollars in the treasu
ry, besides a large sum due on bonds to
the public, and uncollefted taxes. All
these things were done during a dread
ful and almolt unirafal war, which de
vastated Europe, when we were threat
ened to be involved with some of the
parties, when we were obliged to build
a navy, for the protection of our com
merce, and to fortify our cities and har
bors.— Behold the contract
in a case which appeared to him merely
Jufpicious.

One word to you Messrs. Dennifton

being expressly allured to the contrary
you continue to date the editor is hired
to write against the administration. I
must therefore put to you one or two
questions ; Do you remember that in
the midst of last spring election, a letter
written by Mr. De Witt Clinton to Den
nifton was inclofed to me to be made
use of against you? And do you remem
ber that after one of you had looked at
it, and acknowledged it to be genuine,
I, unsolicited and without even an intima
tion of the kind from,ou, inclofed it to you
with a note, observing that I did not
think i| honorable to publish a letter
coming in a manner which at least left
an opening for a suspicion that it might
have been furreptitioufy obtained, and
that therefore I sent it to you without
taking or Suffering any one to take a co
py, and without Shewing it to more than
a Single person betide my foreman ?
Without mocking you, by an appeal to
sentiments of gencrofity or gratitude,
how dare you talk about hireling editors
while I can be supposed to recollect the
contents of that letter ? Softly ! then
foftly! —o-

ran on an island which he thinks is called Mutko

and every foul together, except Mr. Penny,who
was below ; they were all drowned but the in

hold on by the painter, and was by tbe boat
drifted on (hore. He afterwards saw Mr. Pen
ny cut the main sheet and clear away the boom,
to try to get 00 shore by floating with it when
a breaker carried him over and he saw him no
more. One of the crew was washed affinre hold
ing by the derick, but the furf was so high chat
thetfpar fell on his head and killed him : he

finding apy inhabitants on the island, he next

Trains Mr. Elias Smith; this is to advise,
him that unless he adheres more to truth, people
will not be likely to believe him in future even
Should he relate a fadt.,
A friend to Mr. Smith, having heard the

the Rev. Dr Stillman, of Boston, and to the
Church at Woburn, stated the reports and beg
ged an explanation, has received aufwers from
both of the above places, (where Mr. Smith
has preached for a considerable time) that the
reports dated were FALSE !
The above mentioned letter from Woburn,
also relates that when Mr. Smith's time expir
ed that he was to preach for them, the Church
owed him a considerable sum, and where he
was in debt to any individuals, he paid all off
honorably, previous to his leaving the town.

Mr Smith has good recommendations from
the Church at Salisbury, and other places,where
he has been preaching. So that any furtner ma
licious stories that may be railed about him,
we hope will be credited only as the haff^/of
the day, as all that have heretofore been related
are traced to their origin, and found to be falfe
