By an official lift kept at Kingston, Jam. of the
American teamen impressed oh board the British
navy there, it appears there are 130!
It appears there are now two British ships, the
Aratbufa and Pheasant, cruising cff Boston har
bouc, for the French ship Berceau—4 impressed
American seamen had made their escape from the
Arathufa, being sent to one of the islands for milk
with a midshipman—there are Bor 10 more Ame
ricans on board this ship ^Britifo Amity! !
It is fined, that at Meadville, Penn, symptoms
of revolt and rebellion against the laws appear—
carried on by secret a(lociation —threats are made
against both federalists and republicans—they had
aanally burnt the stable of a refpedable inhabit
ant of that place—73/ federal papers fa, tbs revolt-
CT are the Republican; ; —lt may be so ; but they
must be the Federal Sea republicans, it any : No
True Republican will raise infurre&oot, or ex
cite revoits 9gainft the Constituted Authorities.

were the Principles for which this infant people con
tended with tbs proudef Empire of the eartb ? which
induced them to threw off the Yoke of Great Britain ?
Were the, met Equal Rights and Privileges, both Ci
vil and RELIGIOUS? Did not our Forefathers
fl, from British oppression, and emigrate hither, that
the, might enjoy Religious Freedom ? Did the, not
wage war with that imperious power, rather than
give up tboje Rights, for which the, bad encountered
all the perils and bardjhips attendant on tbefrf jostle
meat of this country ? Such were the Principles that
induced our venerable Patriots to range tbemjelves as a
Bulwark to the Rights and Liberties of their country !
Such were the Principles which induced our Washing,
ton, dud a bo, of Heroes, to prefect their befomi to an
unmerciful enemy, to hazard their lives for the Pretec

wsfWbs Men principally in,rumental in that Revolu
tion, wbßbgave us our Independence, and left us to tbs
free enjoyment oftbofe im,rejcriptible rights, which all
men are by nature entitled to? They are too numerous
to mention bore—and it is not material to ear prefsnt
objea to name them all— —W ashin gtON was the
Leader in tty Field; and, (if the printed Records of
Cengrefs of tboje times Jpe>k truth) Thomas Jes-
FEttON was a leading charader in our Cabinet-—-
We need only to recur to the Declaration of American
Independence, (which fferfon formed) to be convinc
ed, if we are net totally blinded b, prejudice, that the
man who is new placed at the bead of our Federal Re
publican Government, was a very Principal aßor in
the, femes which placed America on the li, of nations.
This isfo Stubborn a Faa, we presume no man will
deny it, not even bis mo, bitter " intollsrant" enemy.
Nay, this is the principal reason why the partisans of
Britijb principles and politics ,frenuoufy eppojed bis
eleaion, and , indufrioufy endeavor to bring him into
disgrace with the People, because be is, and ever has
hen, what be was in 1776, a,rm, inflexible, confid

back to the couclufan of the revolution ; retroview
our political advances ; and compare cbaraaere
The objeas of the Revolution wire obtained ; the Ene-.

vil Confutation of Free, Ekaive Republican Govern
ment was formed ; Washington was placed in the Pre

the principal officer of fate under him, the Secretary ;
be fixed bis mind on T homa s J efferson, be ap
pointed bim Secretary of State, the Senate confirmed the
appointment, and the duties of the office were never dij
cbarged with more ability. He al„ appointed the Sec
retary of the Treafury,and other officers -There
was then none of tty poetical difinatens ; the denun
ciation of Jacobin, was not in uje ; the term Tory in
deed was then remembered, and was underfeed and njed
to designate the enemies of the Revolution add Rational
Liberty—— All others' were efeemed as Republicans
and Ftderalifs ; the wheels of government played ea
sily along ; and mo, men approved the adminifration
of Georgs Washington—— —He defined a

Pure Religion wants it not.
It is time ihat patty=fpirit give way to
Reason; it is time that party names were
done away; it is high time that Union
of Parties in one common intere ft, make
us " all Republicans; all Federalists ;"
and banish from our land the odious ep
ithets of Jacobin ! &c. But those who
set the term agoing against republicans,
who began the foul bufaefs of running
down all men who would not subscribe
to their arifocratic creed, those are the
men who Should begin the reformation ;
they should cease from their work of de*
famation, before they expe& the advo
third elea'on ; Jon n Adams juraeded bim ; and
to bim defended tbe jams prtftatial prerogatives ;
which, in the courje of bis 4,ears reign, were eccafan
ally encreafed, and the dignify of hit charader was
fielded by a Sedition Law, a courtly creature, both
novel and disgraceful in. a Free Republic ; all wefall
fay at prejent is, he used his authority——-
At the close of 4 years (without u declination) be
was relieved from the " arduous to,''of conducting
our political,ip in a " tempestuous lea ;” and, id
conformity to the " Vet Papuli"#/^, Country, be
was succeeded by THOMAS JEFFERSON; who
took the management of the ft, at the height of the
" ftprm, "ju, read, twbu, ; and, without a Sedition
Law to intimidate them, be ,anas expojed to all the
hurricanes of ambition, pride, chagrin & paffioa vent
edk, bit infuriated enemies: But the arrows of their
envy fall pointless at his feet 1 Reader, the
foregoing observations are made, to introduce to
your notice fairly, a point in the cfficial condud
of Washington and Jefferfon, but little dissimilar.
The Britijb Federalist Os Tories, are aware, that
the American People generally, are real friends to
the present Republican forty gs government, that
they wiilmaintaio the Union (ortengue/or con
federation) of these States, at the risk of their
lives and fortunes, that they prefer the honor of
their own to any other nation whatever ; the areb
federalids are aware erf this, and attempt to play
upon the national paffiods of the People, and em
bitter them against Frefident Jefferfoo, because
he has appointed Mr. Gallatin (a native of Gene
va) Secretary of the Treasury. Consider well,
fellow citizens, the character of these " &/fo.
Federal,,," these " Frimh of Order ;" they ap
prove of the whole administration of Washington
and Adams ; yet it is a fa&, which the most har
dened, callous hearted ofthe " Sea" is challeng
ed to deny, that President Washington appointed
Alexander Hamilton, (a Foreigner, a native of Gt.
Britain, the fame Britain which attempted to en
flive the citizens of these States) he appointed
Hamilton (the foreigner) Secretary of the very fame
Treasury to which Mr. Gallatin is now appoint
ed, and that too, whten Hamilton had not been in
America so long as Gallatin had when President
Jtfferfon placed him in the fame office. We do
not state this to criminate any man, or juftify a
preference of Foreigners to Native Citizens ; we
do it merely to connnee our readers of the fallacy
and hypocrisy of those men who bawl so loudly a
bout their Federalism, their love of Order, and at
tachment to Religion : they thus would make Re
ligion fubferve base defigos, and life the Name of
Washington to fanaion vice and legalize Corrup
tion ! People of America, be on your guaid !
be not deceived ! Examine for yourselves ! Be
temperate ; judge with candour ; condemn-not
rashly. Learn by their cendua your enemies and
your Friends. Four years must prove whether
THOMAS JEFFERSON is your friend : If he
is not, then ca, bim offforever! In the mean time
while he is the Chief Executive of our Nation,
all Good Citizens, all Real Friends of Order,
Government and Pure Religion, will bestow on
him at least so much confidence as is necessary to
— give firmnefs and effe& to the legal administra
tion of your affairs." He who would persuade
the people to withhold this, is an enemy to the
Conflitution and Liberty. More than this, Mr.
Jefferfon does not alk.

CONSIDERING the prefeat State of Society,
as it refpeas Ph,ficians in the middle towns
of the State of Newhampfhire, it has been tho't,
by several of the Faculty, refidingin these parts,
that a Society would be of use, (provided the
fame was fubjed to such laws, as refpea the gen
eral good) and tend to improvement in the Art
and Science of Ph, fie and Surgery — According
ly, a meeting was appointed, on the firft Wednef
day of June last, at which time, a President was
chosen, and ^Committee to form a Cooftitution
for said Society ; and the meeting adjourned till
the„fiift Monday in August ; at which acfaprn
ma¥nt the Constitution was examined, and signed
by the President and members of said Society.
The outlines of the Constitution are as follow,
b^The Society to meet quarterly, tor the pur
heir mutual improvement.

■each member mail pay ftrift attention to
■y,, and pra&ice ; and thereby endeavour
4o Ba such fads as may be ufeful to the Society.

September x, 1801, J. WILSON, See.
cates of our Republican Government^
will cease to oppose and expose there di
abolical schemes—Shall we decry every
man his neighbor, as an infidel, who dif
fers from him in religious opinions? On
this grond, most men would be infidels !
for there are in the World above four
hundred different Sectaries of Religion !
And shall we bring them all to the ieJI
of one of them? They all worship the
same I AM! And shall we not tolerate'
those who are good and peaceable mem
bers of society ? How ungenerous, how
unsChriflian like it is, to raise popular
opinion against a man, to cry out he is
an infidel ! because he does not agree
with our notions of religious affairs-^
how unmanly and intollerant ! and how
difgraceful,efpecially in a country where
the Civil Constitutions guarantee to ev
ery man the unalienable Rights of Con
science! Let us learn Charity.
(, Let the Tory scribblers puifue their dirty
work of blacking the charaaers of our Republican
Almioifirators. The Anglicized editors of tor,
papers, those enemies of Republicanism, are per- *
mitred to rave ; They " stand as monuments
of the fafety with which error of opinion may be
tolerated, where reason is left to combat it."
0- Mr. Jefferson will adminifler
the affairs of the country, legally and con
stitutionally : or else forfeit his oath, and
become a traitor, or usurper: In either of
these cases, the Constitution provides a rem- -
edy, and the Representatives will be falfe
to their constituents, if they do not impeach
him !—The whole nation would condemn
him in such a case!
Let us learn to be Americans! let
us advocate neither French nor Britijb
politics; let us prefer American prjnci^
ples and politics to either; let us prefer
our own to every other country under
heaven—Let us do justice to all; pre
serve an honorable friendfhip ; facri
fice our national character and dignity
to none ; nor form tangling alliances
with any. This is to be good Republicans,
good Federalijh, and truly American.
