Diary of one of the Federal apportion in Congress.
Monday.] Spent all yesterday in serious
reflexion. Could not think of any just
ground for opposition—Mr. Jeffer fon's mea
sures all calculated for the good of the coun
try — a plague on such a prefident —never
does any thing to find fault With, —I wish
the democrats had fixed on any other man —
how the devil they came to make so wife
and prudent a choice I don't know.
Past II o'clock, time to be in my place—
prayers are over—not fond of them—heigh,
ho—can't think of any thing—well; I'll go
and oppose every thing § that will be oppo
sition —no pretext for any other kind—mea
sures are all right enough, to be sure—O !
what a damn'd thing to be in a minority.
Tuesday.] Had a bad day yefterday —
loft a great deal of ground in public opinion—
gallery all laughed at me when I spoke—wont
attempt to be witty any more. Lord knows
what will become of us—minority daily
growing lefs —.dropping off one by one—
would not like to be left alone— tea filers
Should not like to make much noise about
taxes, thev themselves impofed—confounded
the journals, I lay—very much afraid com
mon folks will fee them —cutfe your ayes and
nays how I hate them —our votes will do our
cause no good —let us fee—we voted a duty
on salt of 20 cents per bushel, (I'd give a
bandjome bounty for a little "attic" to sprinkle
over that vote)---we voted an additional duty
on bohea tea, &c. O, when my speech of
yesterday, is contracted with this conduct,
the block-heads will point their fingers at me
— Mem. Not to walk the Greets much when
I firfl return home.---A plague on the jour
nals (till fay I.
Wednesday.] The internal taxes will
be taken off in spite of us---sorry I opposed
it---did not fee so clearly then-told a great
many lies in the bargain —said the rich
paid them---no body will believe that---that
was going rather too far---rich people do not
drink our country liquors —I know the poor
paid for the ftamps-—travelled sometimes a
great way to get them-^-my neighbour Giles
complained to me bitterly pnee, how he had

of some good fat tale to-night.

ligon a very good thing---has nothing to do
with politics, tho' church and itate is the long
in Connecticut. Feds do very wrong in that
refped. Told them so often. More real
religion on the other fide. They make no
ftifs about it. Mult take my feat this morn
ing. Feds will think I have deserted them.
Not right to day too long on board a (linking
thip. Rats do not do so; very wife animals.
People have deserted us. Wetaxed them too
much. Dont care though. Made money e
nough. Join the other fide for the office I had
in view. So would any of my friends. No
chance of a birth shortly. Hold too, a little
longer. Our folks a& badly. 'Tell too many
lies. Dont blame them much neither. Got
nothing else to tell. People dont believe them
when they speak the truth. Federalism I fear
is done. We must change our name, and a
new name will not serve us. People not so
ignorant a herd as we have supposed them.
Feel my federalifm oozing Out at my toes.
Take care it does not set my flockings on
fire. Poor Dayton's burned up a few nights
ago. Never been so hot as him. High time
to change my course.
Mem. To take the firft opportunity of
becoming an honed man.
From the Chronicle.
" Those men who have turned the world upside
down, have come hither ajo.

tion should raise a formidable opposition
from men who pretended to ditown ad
worldly grandeur and emolument, and who

lived in expe&ation of a reward in another
world ? But however paradoxical it may ap
pear, yet the only antagonists which gave
our Saviour or his disciples any trouble,
were those who profeffed the greatest con
cern for Religion, and who lived within the
purlieus of the alter. The whole hiftory o£
the Christian fylfem Is a narrative of the
scandalous treatment of the Chief Priests,
Scribes, dud Pharisees, towards its profef
fo'rs. They were followed by a body of
percenters, who were conflantly exciting
the public rJ'entment against them. The
enemies of our Saviour prosecuted their plans
with such insidious art, as even to gain over,
by bribery, one of his Disciples, to betray
him. He was early perfued by Church and
State : for Herod began his Sanguin
ary purposes by murdering the infants in
Bethlehem—wben that failed of the objeft
contemplated, Satan, immediately upon his
baptism, in a courteous drain of adulation,
tempted him. After the powers of Earth
and Hell had exhausted all their stratagems
to ensnare and destroy him; he began his
mission by preaching on the Mount,, and
from that eminence made a solemn declara
tion of the benign principles of his mission ;
he recommended his ministration by a&s of
kindness and beneficence ; hearing ail man
ner of diseases, and evidencing his divinity
by signs and miracles, which gave a luftre
to the philanthropy of his chracter. Is it
pofible then that any opposition could arise
against a system which miplayed such com
placency in its Author r Should we expert
to find among his opponents, thole who pro
feffed to fludy the happiness of mankind, or
seemed devoted to the cause of virtue and re
ligion ?— But the hiftory informs us, that
when the Chief Prieits, Scribes and Phari
sees saw the things which he did, they were
displeased, and from that time fought to lay
hands on him ; but they fearer, the People.
The Pharisees ado took council, how they
might entangle him in his talk they began
their artifice to question buo, whether it
was lawful to give tribute to C/ESAR ; they
were preparing to entrap him that he was
not Char's friend; but our Saviour, though
thus surrounded by a Junto, boldly began
