TUESDAY, MARCH > 1801.
Far the REPUBLICAN LEDGER.
Messrs. NuttQ & Whitelock,
Being in company the other day the con
verfdtion turned chiefly upon the analogy
between the body natural and the body pol
itic, the propriety of which must be left to
your determination. The observations
were, as far as my recollection serves me,
as follows:
Systematical writers hart asserted the a
b^'c recited analogy by faying, that as the
firm and regular ftru&ure and disposition of
ihe stamina, the Length and clearness of
the vessels, the purity and tenuity of the flu
ids, their free circulation, a due concoction,
secretion and distribution of the nutricious
juices into the habit, are the support of na
tural health and vigor.—So Something anal
ogous to it would be the health, soundness
and vigor of the body politic. Now all this
has by fomebeen difeovered to be a mistake,
that there is no resemblance betwixt the or,e
and the other, but on the coptrary, what is
the life of o^c will be the d^aruaion of the
other ; that the body politic could not subsist
without certain periodical paroxifms for
which some physicians have an infallible
fpecific, and which operates as an opiate,
that uncorrupt juices would be the death of
the patient—their gentle easy motion would
produce lethargy that it is therefore necessa
ry to keep up a perpetual ferment and itch,
to keep the patient awake by continual
scratching, serviceable both for the patient
and physician, as trials of his temper, and
goodness of his constitution, at the fame time
give bread to numberless retainers, who be
ing destitute might pursue some more honor
able employment. There is another advan
tage in political corruption, the increase and
prosperity of the body depends upon it, for
it is a well known maximl£ philosophy,
that the corruption of onefaflUal body is
the generation of another, fain the politi
cal world the corruption of one is often the
generation of thousands. How many new
laws, new powers, new officers new ,
arapro&ud, by every new corruption.—
INow as all officers, all people of rank and
power in the political body are of infinitely §
more consequence than the common herd, ;
the beads of the people, so it may be com
puted that one such officer (if besides in hisj
coach) is more in weight and .value than a ;
thousand sturdy beggars. To this therefore
it is owing, that many have been, formerly,
arid will hereafter be Alining and harangu
ing in courts, who in an uhcorrupt genera
tion had lived and died in obfeurity, untefs
members, neither regarded while living, nor
lamented when dead- But to pursue the
fimilibude a little further—An equal distri
bution of the said nutritious juices, the
health of the natural body, would in the bo
dy politic produce an unnatural equality a
mong the members, and destroy subordina
tion & lubjeaion, which the ignoble owe to
their honorable Superiors. The difference'
is no where more observable than in thecafe
of a Plethora—This, in the natural, is al
ways attended by weariness, oppreflion of
spirits, want of appetite, inclination to vom
it, and can be cured only by abflinence and
evacuations —But in the political, the case i<
quite otherwise, the symptoms different—
The appetite always increafe# in proportion,
that the patient, instead of being heavy and
languid is ten times more' active, vigilant,
meddling and inquisitive, even to a degree of
impertinence, and that to evacuate or refund
would be next to immediate death—were a
physician to propose such a method of cure,
it would throw the patient into diffradion.
—r —lcannot so well At present recollect the
particulars upon political architecture,which
next proceeded, that I must leave it to some
future opportunity.
An Independent Whig..
ALARMING INTELLIGENCE.
REPORTS SAY,
When the news of the election of Thomas Jef
ferfon arrived yefterQay, parson Abercrombie
!tainted—a number of federalists, among whom
,were three or four of the 30 Heroes, resolved im
mediately to turn Democrats — and a crowd of old
Tories, Refugees, ond British merchants and A
,ente, determined to embark for the plentiful
shores of Britain—Prosperous gales to them, and
may all that remain soon follow their example.
'(Aurora.
Like a thock of eleftriqt, , the late measures of
theFederalAdminiftration have prvaded the whole
community. Numbersconyinced of their error in
every part of the state are returning to their duty,
and forfaking the tlandard of deiufion, which they
had followed to the precipice of deftrM&ion.
To such the arms of their Country are extend-

ed. A hearty welcome to the cause of freedom ''
tendered by those who saw the ttorm at a distance
and would have gladly received them e'er the
temped had risen to its height.
Were any evidence required to (hew that what
has bean falfely termed Icder&Jifob is already flrug
gling in her lad agonies, the violent and convul
sive efforts made in her extremities are ample and
irrefiftable proofs. In this last att of desperation,
every principle of pride and felf-refpect fails in
the followers of tlifedifinal train. Like a wretch
condemned to fuffer, they seek a new crime to ag
gravate their guilt. Indignation and resentment
were to be looked for—malice and wrath and e
vil freaking must plant their last fling in a patient
adversary. [Chron.

The Nervy.
The naval appropriation bill was called
;up and difeuffed in Committee of the whole.
The Whole sum to be appropriated, was
fixed at 3042,353 dollars. One item was
20,000 dollars lor building barracks for the
marine corps. Mr. Nicholas opposed this
item, not knowing of any necessity there
could be for permanent barracks in time of
peace. Mr. Rutledge answered, contend
ing for the preference of building a place to
that of renting at a high rate. Mr. Galla
tin hoped the item would be erased, con
tending that there could be no peceffity to
keep a marine corps in barracks at all, &
that their only service on land could be to
1 recruit, in which case they require no more
accommodation than other recruiting par
ties. At any rate without a report from
some department or some committee upon,
the fubjea especially, he could not vote for
the expenditure. Mr. Smith called to view
of the house the necessity of exercising and
organizing the men for Service at all times,
since they were always liable to be called,
for, and for this purpose they must be on
shore #nd ill barracks. Mr. Nicholas hop
ed it was not intended* © keep ships and
marines in the service in time of profound
peace, when there was no enemy in the
world to meet.
The item was agreed to, 41 to fl —:and
the bill ordered to be engrossed for its third
