" I i any part of this room, a vast varie

fowls of the air are seen, in perfta pre

from the Pacific ocean. Over them are
fufpetided 50 portraits, beingcomplete like

Col. Smith, capt. Barney, and many others
of these are from Maryland.
MAt t i le further extremity of thi3 room

From the New York Journal, &c.
IK the year 1788 eviery one knew how
r.i define an anti-federalilt—thofe in oppo
fitioil to the new conflitution fell under that
ciefcription. The constitution once adopt
ed, tlie appellation (hotlld have ceafe-d—
that not being the cafe, we will enquire
who are at present delignated by the epi
thet; instead of regarding it as a term ot
reproach, every true lon of Columbia will
glory in it.
A modern anti federalifl, then, is one
who is lincerely attached to the conflituti
on of his country, which has proceeded
from the people ; but he is difgufled with
ail administration; who have nothing lef
in view than the good of their constituents,
whose servants they are.
He fees with infinite regret, that not
w rhltanding the burthens under which our
commerce groans, the revenue is exhaulieil
in large and ulelef- salaries. and squandered
on a Inift of speculators, who receive fix
per cent, per an aim for a debt which coli
them 2/6 in the pound.
He contemplates with equal regret, that
instead of paying off the national debt,
everv ingenuity i > exerted to saddle us with
it forever. With these ideas of the funding
system, lie execrates it as the mod perni
cious for the liberties of the people whirl
human ftibtlety could have devifrd—Ths
n.fluence occalioned by it cannot tail tc
terminate in the deltruftion of a republi
-an government, which he verily believe:
a . the principal object in view by more
than one who had an agcncy in the framing
of it.
He comp'ains loudly, that after so long
1 peace, not a lliip of war been built—
1 town fortified—nor any other meafnre:
idopted to protect our sea-ports and cum
merce from the insults of those who chuff
: ) make them the object ot their_depreda
ion.
He feels warmly attached to the Frenci
•evolution —He confidefs our generoui al
lies as engaged in the cause ot mankind, iS.
deprecates, ts the worlt of evils, a wai
with the only free nation on earth, whicl
lie verily believes will be the confequentt
of certain public measures now pursuing.
While with his whole foul he withes tha 1
France may crulh her foes, he fees, witl
an honest and just indignation, the infolen
treatment we submit to from Great Bri
tain. They have forts in our territory
and we submit to the indignity. The;
plunder our trade, and we dare not evei
remor.ftrate. He thinks tie present a fa
vourable time to compel that haughty na
tion to iiften to the dictates of reason, an<
to comply with her treaty ; but he nuul
(cars that the weighty arguments of Bii
:iih\oi:i, will deprive 11s of the op
portunity of a\ enging these insults offeree
:o our national sovereignty,
He detells the corruption of the Britifr
1 ovtrument, ahd v ilh horror, a con
nection with a nation whose liberty is a
name, and whose exar pie would be per
nicious to an infant republic.
He abhors a tory, whether of home or
"oreign growth : and particularly withes
:hat a speedy stop may be put to the impor
[ation of those of Brit'lh and cot Li Ih pro
duction.
Lastly—a modern anti-federalifl is sin
cerely devoted to the v. eilare and prospe
rity of his country, and although public
.aeafures wear an unfavourable aspect, he
hopes thegenius of America will yet inter
fere and protect her offspring, againll the
too open attempts of an aristocratic faction.

dom.

fXTRAC T.
THE United States of America, are?
pofieficd of more natural advantages, lor
I'rade and Commerce,than any other na
r ion on earth. On the close of the late_
v. ar, they fondly anticipated a fucceilion of
tliefe benefits for succeeding years. i haC
ri;ey liave not been realized, is said to be
awing to the imbecility of government.
Vet not one of the great advant.-ges, that
was expe&ed to arise from tlie federal go
vernment, was so fondly expected as tom
nercial prosperity. This idea we have
r omid delnfive. The government of Grea"
Sritain, liath received more advantage
Vorn this event, than her mod sanguine
riends could expect. Without any treaty,
lie has eftablifliments in all the Oates, and
iy the advantages of a similarity of habits
md of language, {he draws to her coders
he wealth while (lie effectual- •
y prevents our intercourse with her islands,
and puts every cblttuftion to impede -our
;rowth and prosperity as a nation ; among
which are, the retention of our welteTn
softs, and theharaffing our frontiers, by rr>
jredatory war, both' diflrefiing and enor
noufly expcnlive.
" Spain, who neVer wifhedour profperi
y, and is naturally inimical to the name
>f a republican, has uniformly b£en cold
md torpid. Her conduct with regard to
he river Miffilippi, evinces her contempt
if our weakness and inability, to avenge
jur wrongs. Perhaps 110 new country ever
'nperienced more incumbrances, than the
:itizens of America have on the vvekcrn
waters." r
ORLANDO'S FLIGHT.
ON prancing fleed, with fpunge at
From town behold Orlando fly ;
Camphor and Tar where'er he goes
Ti.'infe&ed lhafts of death defy—
Safe in an atmosphere of {link,
No do£tor gets Orlando's chink.
'Twas right to fly ! for well I ween
In Stygian worlds, by Jove's decree,
No blushing bloflom e'er was seen,
Or running brook, or budding tree :
No splendid meats, no flowing bowls
Smile o'er the meagre feafl of fouls.
No sprightly songs, to banifli grief.
No balls, the Stygian Beans prepare.
And he that fed on rounds of beef,
On onion lliells fliall fatten there—
Monarchs are there of little note,
And Oaefar wears a ragged coat.
Chloes on earth, nf air and (liape,
Whose eyes deltruy'd poor love-lorn
wights,
There lower their topsails to the cap,
Rig in their booms and fur! their kites :—•'
Where Cupid's bow was never bent,
What lover aflis a maid's consent ?
All this, and more, Orlando knew,

Took horfe—ciapp'd spurs—and off hd
flew
In no d d doctor's lift enroll'd—
Blame not Orlando if he fled,—
So little 'j got by being dead.
