succeeded. Nothing was heard of but
vows of vengeance —-never did the ar
dent and impatient lover so long to o
verleap time and fpacc, those cruel bars
to immediate extacy, as they desired to
annihilate the heavy hours which were
to intervene between that moment and
the next annual election. At length
the wished for period came—public and
secret meetings were held, and a world
of cunning manoeuvres were pra&ifed
to secure, beyond the possibility of fai
lure, their darling objeft.
Their papers merely announced the
names of the candidates, but, till yest
erday morning, no declamatory para
graphs accompanied them—no edito
rial addresses -not even a solitary com
munication urged the electors to appear
— all was so secret and so fly ! Know
ing that the election must, by the char
ter, be made by freeholders, the Fed
eralists felt a perfe& security, that un
less some such foul pradifes Should be
resorted to, as were attempted last year,
they had nothing to apprehend, and
hardly any one seemed to have given
himfelf the lead concern about the e
vent. On Monday afternoon they re
ceived the firft intimation of what was
going forward in the enemy's camp,
and a very trifling exertion defeated all
their evil machinations.
But now, fellow citizens, what do
you imagine is proposed by theft friends
of order ? Nothing less than that the le
gislature should break down the charter
of your city for the purpose of extend
ing the right of fuffrage to every good
democrat, both native and imported
within five years ? But what is a char
ter in the eyes of such people as your
Cheethams and Duanes. In the 7th
ward, the strong hold and boast of de
mocracy, where last year the democrat
ic ticket had a majority of more than
200 votes out of 445, they have this
yeas but a majority of 49 out of 493,
52 more votes than were given in last
year.

" Nothing can exceed the effrontery of the
4 Jacobin editors in attributing the report of the
landing of the negroes, to the federalifts. The
firft information given of it was by as warm a de
mocrat as any in South Carolina ; but who, be
the holder of many slaves, is feelingly alive
to every rumour that threatens the introduction
of liberty and equality among them.

actually gone into the Indian territory.
Another report states, that some of Mr.
Runner's friendshad armed themselves
with an intention to take the Indian of
fenders by force and bring them to jus
tice, but were flopped by the Gover
nor. Another report adds, that the
Indians had got alarmed, destroyed
their growing crops and fled from the
upper towns for Shelter in the lower

had been killed in the wilderness be

NOVEMBER 16.
Capt. Vickery, of the ship Missouri,
arrived at Philadelphia on Monday eve
ning iaft, picked up, floating bn some
spars, at sea, a man, who was almo(t ex
hausted, and has since been ill and de
-1 ranged—but by the attention of the
captain he is in a likely way to recover.
He gjves the following account of him
felf :—That about 6 or 7 days before
he was taken up, he went on board a
brig at Charleston, that had formerly
been a schooner, had a woman head,
with two dogs along fide her, and that
file was called the Hunter—that the was
.a packet between Philadelphia and
Charlefton,.and part owned in Philadel
phia ; that soon after he had entered,
the failed from Charleston, for Phila
delphia ; that being out about 5 days,
in a violent gale, he, with several spars,
were, by a sea, washed off the deck ; —
that he soon after saw the brig overfet,
that she floated some time, and the peo
ple got on her rigging—that he saw
many .of them washed off—the brig
drifted pad him, and he loft light of
her—On the spars he supposed he had
been 36 hours when the Missouri took
him up—He mentions there were four
paflengers on board the brig.
It is feared, from the above descrip
tion, and other circumstances, that it is
the brig Huntress, Capt. Prince, from
Charleston, for Philadelphia, and that
all but this poor fellow have perilled.
an animated contest, terminated in fa
vor of the federal ticket ; the Demo
crats succeeding in but two wards out
of teven. Everyone recollects, that, last
year, when these people procured a re
turn to he made in their favor of four
wards out of seven, which return too
they knew was to be the fubjedt of a
scrutiny, they displayed the most bound
less exultation. Their ostentatious greet
ings in the market place —their festivals
and their toasts were carried to an ex

fair and labored scrutiny, which ter
minated in their defeat and disgrace,

The committee appointed in August
last by those in Botton and its vicininity
who have fuffered by seizure, detention
or depredation of their property, com
mitted by Spaniards, have lately re
ceived a letter from the Secretary of
State, in which he recommends in the
following words, an accurate, represen
tation of each case to be prepared in
duplicates; one to be sent to Mr. Pinckney
our Minister at Madrid; the other to
the Office of State, viz.—“ To enable
him (Mr. Pinckney) to proceed with
great precision and effeft, in his discus
sions & reclamations, it is recommended
That the several cases be so discriminated
by their circumstances, as to shew how
far they rest on general regulations or
special licences from competent autho
rities; how far on licences reasonably
presumed to be competent, though
in ftridnefs not so ; how far on sud
den and ensnaring repeals of general
regulations or discontinuances of spe
cial indulgences ; how far on the
calculation from exiling circumstances,
that the ordinary colonial policy of
Spain would be relaxed ? and how far
on fraudulent proceedings of Spanish
fubjefts. As in this last case the claim
ants may be required to shew that fat
isfadion has been fought in vain from
the regular tribunal of the place,it will
be prudent for them to be prepared to
meet such a preliminary." This re
commendation from the Secretary of
State, has a particular reference to cases
of seizure and detention, in the Spanish
colonies ; but as clear and accurate
statements of all cases of reclamation
for injuries sustained in those colonics,
are necessary, to enable our Minister to
obtain just indemnity thereof, the Co
mmittee inform those persons in the New-
England States, who have claims for
injuries of any kind done, in the Spanish
colonies to their property, that if they
v4ll prepare and forward representa
tions thereof,to them,directed to Thom
as Burley in Boston, post paid, they
will be attended to, and carefully sent
to Mr.Pinckney,and to the Secretary of
State. As our Minister, at Madrid,
has already been fully intruded by the
Secretary of State, to pursue the claims
referred to, and may soon enter upon
the difeuffion of Preliminary points, it
is important that the claimants prepare
and fend forward their refpedive re
presentations with all expedition.

On the evening of Tuefday last, an
bld man and his two foils, were detec

this town.—On searching them, up
wards of I,ob dollars in 5 audio dol
lar notes of the Bank of the United
States Were found in their pdfleflion.
They passed by the name of johnfon,but
we understand they have cofefled, since
theirapprehenfion, that they are of the
name of Kennedy, and live in Harden

a man named Smith. Immediately on

We too " hasten to lay before our readers
the following Address. When egotism the most

pass current for proofs of patriotism, and eminent
service : —When the common place cant of hack
nied proverbs ofSuperficial paragraphias, (hall be
received as the maxims of the experienced Poli
tician, and the fearcbes of the Philosopher ; —and
when the American nation (hall become so be
sotted as to cherish Deism, because, to serve a
turn, it can hipocritically recognize a Providence
—then, and not until then, can writings—of
which the subsequent is a fpedmen, have the
lead influence to (hake the faith or dagger the
belief of one genuine Federalift—chough they
may merit and receive thefulfome panegyrics of the
hired scribblers of the administration; in papers
which for the last fifteen years have been de
voted to the "faction" whose rage Paine de
nounces; and to the cause of antifederalijm,which
he appears to condemn.
We too (hall take care that these Epistles shall
have a general circulation—The vice and in
anity they will contain,—if the inaugural
ebulition is a specimen of them—“ to be hated
and despised will need only to be feen"—They
will be noticed and replied to, not because they
are the offspring of Paine; but because they
arc the fofter children of the Chief Magistrate
of the Nation, Their terpitude, folly and in
consistency shall be exposed ; & the consequence
will be, they will be detested by a large ma
jority of real American people
According to report, there is a' plan
in agitation,to change the departmental
form of division of the French Repub

governments, each government to in
clude two military divilions. Belgium
is to form one of them, which is to be
placed under jofeph Bonaparte; The
persons to whom these governments are
to be entrusted; are to take the titles of
Lieutenant Governors; the Prefects are
to correspond with them, and they are
to correspond with the Consuls.

Some of the students were in the house the
preceding evening, and it is therefore probable
the fire was caused by a spark or fnuff from a
candle or fegar. But on ftri& enquiry blame
attaches itfelf to no perlon. Before being dis
covered, the fire had become unquenchable.
Providentially, however, the exertions of the
neighboring citizens, aided by the calmness of
the night, preserved the adjacent buildings.
It has been averted from good authority, that
more than a thousand persons have received
literary advantages from the seminary, many of
whom have been introduced to the different
colleges, become men of icience, ufeful citizens.
We are happy to learn, that altho' the funds
are very small, by no means adequate to the im

nevolent for auxiliary aid, are using every effort
soon as pofflble, to eredt a commodious building
for the accommodation of the officers and flu
