“TRUE AS THE DIAL TO THE SUN.''
Portsmouth, (n.h.) November, 36.
The Letter of Thomas Paine, which we with
much pleafore lay before our readers to day, will
be gratifying to thfe real lovers of genuine free
dom. The veteran patriot appears to retain in
his old age, all the energy of his youth. His ideas
are yet clear and correft, his language perfpicu
ods his remarks persuasive. The independence
of his mind which shines in all his political works
is not less niahiteft in his letter. He wants nd office,
he devotes his tittle and ufeful talents disinterested -
ly to the welfare of his species. How diminutive
our high federalists look when compared with
this exalted and benevolent character! He has
been the fcdtifge bt tyrartts in Europe and he is at
leutgth returned to this his “ congenial foil" to
make them tremble in America. We salute him
with health, happiness and long life;
Tory detfadicn charges Mr. Paine with fa
efty, as thotigh it were criminal to be poor, and
confidets him dependent for fobfillance on the
charity of bls friends..
It might be fufficient to reply to fach remarks,
that the disinterested prtriot and the war-worn
soldier, two of the most illufirious characters de
lineated in hiflory, are generally poor; and that
their poverty is a (tronger evidence of virtue, than
the pofeffiop of millions. But as these attesta
tions to personal integrity are two often treated
with derision by the inmates of a counting house,
we (hall inform them that Mr. Paine is not poorl
that he is not only independent in his circumflan
ces, but that he pufferies real property that will
enable him toenjoy all the fubflantial comforts,
and agood portion of the luxuries of life. Let it
Be known too, that this independence, nay, aflu
ence, is the reward which a gteatful country has
bellowed. b - Nat. Intel.
The late attacks which Mr. Paine has sustained
from the federal presses, might very justly occa
sion him to exclaim, in the language of the im?
mortal Milton: ,
« Idid bat teach the age to quit their clogs
By the plain rules of ancient Liberty,
' When quick a barbarous noise surrounded me,
Os Owls, and Cuckoos, Asses, Apes, and Dogs.”

Ata fnpper given by the gentlemen of Balti
more to Mr. Paine, he gave the following toad:
“ The three guarantees of a republic—May
rights be equal ,• opinions free ; dnd the majority
govern as they would be governed."
This is an excellent Republican text for the
federalist to comment on, and we shall be glad to
fee haw they will handle the fubje&

on Mr. Carlton, the worthy arid independent edi

their chagrin by obliging tnem to repent of their

*' Robert Liston, the British Ambaffadof, distri

and honest Landtmen, do you think it likely that
Jacob Crowninihicid partook of these secret Lar
gesses? But can you entirely baniSh from your
breast, the idea that our Ex-Secretary might re
ceive from his dear friend and intimate compan
ion some little token, some small gratuity, for all
his zealous efforts against liberty and her sons, for
all his attachment to the interest of England, for
all his endeavors in all his tranfaftions to prostrate
neutral rights at the mercy of every commander
under the British, from his Honor Admiral Har
vey, to the mild Matfon, and from him down to
the pirates of N. Providence; fob all these good
and loyal services. Is it at all unlikely that 'Squire
Timothy did not receive some small trifling re

NEW LAW BOOK.
Sir, - Salem, June 21st 1802.
I HAVE this day published a valuable new
Work, tor Gentlemen of the Law, entitled
" American Precedents of Declarations,
Collected chiefly from the Manufetipts qf accom
plished Pleaders —Digested ahd arranged under
diftina titles and divilions ; and a^pted to the
muff Modern Pra&ice, with a pteflxld Digest of
Rules and Cases concerning Declarations."
The work has been compiled with fidelity arid
attention, and under thO patronafe iff tire Profef
fion ; and in compression oqmaH^'aqcuracy^ and
variety of forms and brevity 01 Statement, is far
Superior to the modern compilations on this fub
jeft. Many of the Declarations were drawn or
perused by the firft Pleaders ; and their names are
generally ahnexed to them where the Authority
was certain. Among others, we .witneG the
names of R. Dana, J. Sewall, Pynchon, Pratt,
Trowbride, Bourne, Worthington, J. Adams^
Bollan, J. Quincy, Thatcher, Gordon, Lowell,
Read; F. Dana, Partons, S. Sewall, Sullivan,
Dane, Bradbury, aud others, the former and pres
ent ornaments of the bench or bar.
PR EFACE TO THE WORK.
THE motives which induce this publication, af
ter the laboured books of entries, which under
the fanftion of Coke, Raftall, Lilly, Mallory, and
Raymond, have received the approbation of the
proteffiun, peculiarly neceflary to be developed.
The redundancies of the English forms, however
proper in theifCourts, where remuneration is pro
portionate to literanabour, have ever been fab
jefts of complaint among bur own lawyers, who
have been obliged, at avast expence of time and
money, to purchase; researches into ponderous vol
umes, where the ufeful matter lies buried amid
heaps ot antiquated learning and fuperftuous de
tail. This evil has indeed been most severely felt
in New-England, ts herb juridical practice though
bottomed on the principles of the Common Law,
has, from the character of the people, and the pe
culiarity of thb laws; aflumed a more compact
and simple form. In addition to this, the struc
ture of our government, so materially variant
from European foVereignties, as well as domeßic
remedies of statutory appointment, have created
deficiencies and changes, which do foreign works
could meet, and no personal industry supply.
These were conlidefationi, which, under the
fanftion of mhny respectable Characters, firft indu
ced the collection and arrangement of the subse
quent declarations. They have been almost whol
ly tranferibed from manufeript forms, which have
been preserved with veneration, and collected
with fidelity, by the firft ornaments of the bench
and the forum, in oJrdwn and the adjacent States.
By the offers of celebrated living council, the
work has been perfected in many valuable forms,
which have either received judicial decifiops, or
been approved by iinqueftionable authority.
The Editor therefore ventures to announce these
Declarations as correct and practical. By the
kindness of a gentleman, equally eminent for his
erudition as a pleader; and pfetifion as council,
the whole collection has been minutely infpefted,
and the errors of futceffive manuferiptions correc
ted, In fine, the work, though more immediately
applicable to the practice of New-England, may be
conlidered as adapted by form; and qualified by
authority, to invite the attention and nieet the
ifeceffities of every State in the Union.
Fok the Rules and Cases prefixed, the Editor is
indebted io the voluntary generolity of the fame
gentlemen who infpefted the Declarations. These
Rules, founded in cited authorities, and illustrated
by occasional references tb our own statutes and
adjudged cases, form a valuable acquisition to the
feience of Pleading. The accuracy of the arrange
ment, and pertinency of the illustrations, increase
our regret that the Author fhbuld withhold from
the pfofeffion his other numerous researches into
the principles of Jurisprudence;
THE work is well executed in all its parts, arid
fells for Two Dollars and Fifty cents retail : it
will bear repeated editions, and of course become
a ' handing work. It is not exchanged for any
other Book, but is fold for ready mony at twenty
five per cent, difeount, or on a credit of ninety
days at twenty per cent, difeount.
Should you want any of the above work, on

sed to point out the mode of Conveyance, id a line
