1 AM happy to learn, by this
publication, that Democratic
Societies can be made uleful.
Digging on Governor’s Wand,
is a very proper employment
for men, who, if left to run at
large, might disturb the peace of
Society, and it is fmcerely hop
ed that every state where these
institutions exist, will follow the
New-York example, fee the lazy
fellows at work, and thus re
move an intolerable burthen
from the sober, industrious, and
hontft part of the community.
A plain, republican, leathern
jacket, ornamented with Genet’s J
button, and a wheel-barrow, :
and chain are recommended as
an amendment of the plan at
New-York. The button will
mark them when they run a
way ; and the virtues of the bar
row and chain, have been alrea- j
dy tried in that city. At Boft- I
on, Cafile JOand offers a fit, and
convenient- -dreceptable for their
fociety;and at Philadelphia, the I
solitary cells, for theirs. And 1
doubtless Charleftown has some I
efficacious mode of confinement,
and punishment, which willan

mentioned in the other large

C O AT G R E S S.
THE hiftory of the present feflion cf
Congress, Should be written in a dear and
impartial m^nuer. It would afford to the
American readers more ofeful inftrudion
than all the folios of mtcaphyftcaj politics
chat ever were published. It would (hew
to our enlightened public how the machine
of their making works—lt would be ex
perimental teaching, and di cpurfe more
fuccefsful than ordinary reading. One
leading point with our antifederal faction,
: was to give a French cast to alt our poli- ;
tics—to raise dp hatred and if poffiblc war
with England, and thus to conquer their
oppofers in Congrefs,and to usurp the reins
of power. This was the moving {pring
of the famous Commecial RelolutiQUS —
Many weie duped by heir showy out fide
but many were not. The vile condufl of
the Bririfh pirates soon kindled a just in
dignation throughout America: The dif
organizera laid hold of it, as they do of ev
ery paHion that riles in any part of the
continent. What did they do, or propose
to do I The deceived public will perhaps,
think they had no, desire of any thing but
to proted our trade, to vindicate our na
tional rights, to prepaie for the storm that
threatens. No Inch thing. Those who
give them credit, for chat plan of condiid
are imposed upon ; and so lame and im
perfed are the newspaper accounts of the
debates, that it is not strange, the people
at a di (lance from the feat (/Government,
should be wholly in the dark concerning
what is doing and who does it. On the
spot evc r y by (lander has seen the foul play
of the political game. Depend upon it,
the fiery party who railed and ranted, and
brought forward hot resolves day after
day, were the very men who were most
opposed to firm, strong measures. The
madcaps would do every thing to widen
the breach between Great Britain and this
country ; every thing to irritate, but noth*
ing to get ready. They were loud for
Resolves, for sequestering debts ; for cut
ting off commerce 4 for preventing an En
voy going to demand redrels and indemni
fication from Gteat Britain : But they were
firm and immoveable for a long time a
gainst frigates; they would not arm against
the Algerines j they would negociate for a
truce with money in hand. They very
consistently oppose negociating wi h Great-
Britain, and tried to put a negative on
Chief Justice Jay's appointment as an en
voy, as the Journals of the Senate will
(hew; But though they would not treat,
neither will they arm. No! they will re
solve, and resolve, and let our wrongs go
out in a puff. Behold the champions of
your trade ; they vote to cutoff all trade
with Great Britain, and then, most ferifi
bly, <0 impose new duties on the no
trade. One word will ftrve as a key to
all the cyphers of the fpothere fadion.—
They would not treat', because that would
not ru«| the risk of ear being reconciled to
Gteat-Bricainj if (he should behave justly
and reasonably in the redress of oar wrongs.
They hate Britain more than they dread
war.
The federal men on the other hand, lay,
get ready- for war, buedo not provoke it.
if you pafa any violent refolntions, the
Envoy cannot go at all, or he will go id
vain. A firing of angry- Refolntions will
mar any adjustment of the caafes of a war.
A very rediculoas lift of grievances was
mad* out, which the party in the house
(upported with all the force and with a
scheme is calculated, in the end.
to save a great deal of hanging.’
Nor is it destitute of pofiiivc
advantage. The 'labour of
criminals is not worth much.—
Bur by ftriS attention they can
be made to earn more than their
bread. And as force valuable
medicines, are extracted from
rhe molt noxious, and poHonous
plants, so nailsand fortifications,
may be gained from the demo-
cratic ver tain of the United
States. Z.
