On Friday last an Address was delivered by the
Secretary of War in answer to the Talk of the
Cherokee Chiefs previously made. The Address
of the Secretary, which was made in the name of
the President, conveyed affurauces to the Chero
kees that all the engagements entered into by the
Predecessors of the President would be by him
rigidly observed; it congratulated them on the
advances they had made, and were dill making in
the arts of civilization, particularly on the intro
duction of the (pinning wheel, and of the plough
inflead of the hoe, and assured them that the Pre
sident, on proper representation, wduld have then\
furnished with the inllruments and indruttion re
quired to aid their progress in agriculture and

After delivery of the reply of the Secretary of
War, the leading Chief spoke at considerable
length on the affairs of his nation. His mode of
delivery, the tone of his voice, and his general ex

and his deportment and gellures were highly dig

THOMAS JEFFERSON,
RICHARD CUTTS, Esq.
A decided and uniform Republican, is elect
ed Representative to Congress for Massa
chusetts in room of the late George Thatch
er—-Thus even Massachusetts, of whose an
glo-federalifm the tory prints so long have
beaded, has elected seven republicans, (being
one half her number! to represent her in the
seventh Congrefs—.One of the members —
Mr. Lincoln, has resigned, but his place will
undoubtedly be filled witha man of the fame
sentiments. For the late federal tory delu
sion has so rapidly, vanished, that ffiould a
general flection of representatives in the dif
tria of Massachusetts now take place, ipore
than three quarters of the number would be
republican ; in regard to talents, nine tenths
at lead now in that delegation is indifputa
bly in their possession. Three years agq
there was but one republican in the whole
representation of that state, but now even in
numbers they will at least be equal. This
is truly a great and sudden change, but not
in fa& greater than has taken place in the
other New-England states, as daily experi
ence constantly demonstrates. The people
begin to enquire for republican papers, they
manifeft a curiosity to examine 6och sides,
and in whatever place these papers have ob
tained circulation, the miffs of federal dark
ness and delusion vanish like the Shades of
night before the riling fun —The federalids
are aware of this, and have therefore left
no means untried that villany could invent,
to prevent the circulation of them. Post
rides & post "office keepers have been hired to
destroy them, and in some inftaqces in New-
England,the keepers of the public post offices,
have not only refufed to deliver the re
publican papers to the fubferibets for
them, but have openly burnt them before
the doors of their office. What mult have
been the state of liberty, in New-England,
when it was dangerous even to complain of
such outrages —Yet these feenes paifed un
der the administration of Mr. Adams, who
invited the enemies of our revolution to take
commissions under his government, and con
fidcred a man's having been a tory, as one
of the belt recommendations to office—■—
What would another four years' adminis
tration of our government by this man have
produced.' How grateful ought we to be,
tor the danger our country has escaped, by
the demolition of such a man, and the election
of one who has undeviatingly made the free
dom and happiness of the whole people the
firft object of his pursuit.
-<-<^>fr
The tones new and old have long considered
independence as a curse, it is not a new notion
with them, though it has passed through a gra
dation rather indireft in its difeovery—With the
Federal government they fought to escape the title
of Tories and Whigs, let up themselves as the ex
clujive Pederalijis, calling the advocates of the
subsequent amendments anti federates —the next
•stage was calling themselves Republican Federa
lists, and their rivals Democrats —Having created
some delusion against democracy, they attempted
to call themselves Republicans, and their rivals
yacobirA; this imposture failed ; and as the De
mocrats were not albamed of being called by a
name which fignifies a member of a community,
where the sovereignty is in the people, and the
Federal Constitution declaring it to be In the A
merican people—the Tories in the confufion they
had created by various names, brought the people
back to firlt principles, and Whig and Tory once
more designates the friend and the enemy of A
merican Independence and the Revolution of
1776. —The Declaration of Independence is the
tell of Toryifm \nd Whigifm —and it equally tells
the new as the old Tories. [Aurora.

The English are ftfppoied to have several cruis
ers in Massachusetts bay, and on George's Bank,
watching the failing of the French corvette Ber
ceau. One of them keeps very near in with the
land, and has several rimes violated the neutral
privileged boarding or examining the American
vessels, when cldfe into onr own harbors. If flie
is only waiting for the Bhrceau, as is pretended,
why so ftrißly overhaul the American merchant
vessels—her conduct appears very folplclous ;it
“ looks finally, and we with the proper author
ity would order out the Bolton frigate to protect
the neutrality of the American, and our own coast
from auv insults which this wajp may be disposed
to commit—he ought to be looked after—and is
it not difgraceful to have our ports so closely
guarded by foreign cruisers. Sal. Reg.
