GENUINE FEDERALISM!!!
A Shin of Beef for a Fijherman s Thanksgiving
Dinner.
A RICH federalift in a neighbouring town, on
the day previous to a Thanksgiving day, was bar
gaining with a countryman for a good fat turkey ;
and after trying some time to beat him down in the
price, quit him, and retired to a little distance.—
An indultrious and honed Fiflierman in a (hort
time came up, alked the price of the turkey, and
without hesitation bought it. As he was walking
home with it, the “ well-born, but disappointed
federalift, with an indignant sneer, observed,
« That afhin of beef was good enough for a Fisher
man's Thanksgiving Dinner !”
Fishermen ! Farmers ! Mechanics !
The above is a fall —and if you follow the Feder
alists, in their abuJe of political dolines, you may
expert nothing better than Shins of Beef, and Rumps
and Burs ! while your federal oppressor s, the noble
and well born, will "fair JumptuouJly every day"
upon the fat of the land—and you in vain, like Laz
arous of old, may beg for the crumbs which may
fall from these rich men's tables. If you have no
regard for yourselves, in the name of Humanity,
think of the wretched fate of your beloved Offspring,
should the Federalißs once more (which God forbid !)
gain an ascendancy in our National Councils. In
the name of God and your Country, be duly warned
of the miserable fate which may await you, should
you bestow your misguided fuflrages on federal men,
iuho are lying in wait go destroy even the veflige of
that Liberty, for which your Fathers, Brothers, and
Sons, fought, bled, and expired 1
" Who dares contradict ?"
Some moral philosopher, who contends that
" nothing created is without its use," illullrates
his theory by dating the utility of muftetoes, in
this manner—“ mufketoes excite action in the
human system, action produces health is the fird
of human blessings."
By the feme mode of reasoning, one may prove
the utility of the lories. They create and cherish
hofhlity to the republican system, their hostility
excites vigor which will forever preserve it in
health, ftrengtfi, and security. Tren. True Am.
THE TWO STAVES.
AN officer's servant, near Stroud in Gloucefter
(hire, (England having taken an affront at home
thing Gid by the clerk of the Parish, thought it
incumbent on him as a gentleman, to fend the oth
er a challenge to fight him with piflols ; to which
the following answer was returned :—" Abraham
Amen, conceiving murdering with fire arms to be
the exclusive privilege of officers and real gentle
men, refufes to fight the uptlart Bob Bouncer in
the manner he desire ; but as, by the laws of hon
nor, the person challenged has a right to chufe his
weapons, Abraham Amen will meet the said Boun
cer, even on a Sunday, and on consecrated ground,
to the praise and glory of God, with Two
STAVES,"

ANECDOTES.
PEOPLE who are resolved to please always, at
all events, frequently overflioot themselves, and
render themselves ridiculous by being too good.—
A lady going to eat plum cake and caudle at a
friend's house one morning, ran to the cradle to fee
the fine boy, as soon as foe came in ; unfortunate
ly, the cat had taken the boy's place ; but before
(he could give herfelf time to fee her mistake, (be
exclaimed, with uplifted eyes and hands, “ Oh,
what a Jweet child I the very pifture of his father.
A Treadfman's wife having pin-chafed a raven,
one of her neighbors asked her how she thought of
buying such an ugly and useless bird ? “ My hus
band and I," replied she, “ wished to try the ex
periment, whether it be true, that ravens live to
the age of seven or eight hundred years."
REMARK.
AS men of sense fay much in few words : To the
half witted have a talent of talking muob, and yet
fay nothing.
Tories and Mufketoes of some and similar use.
The terms are lodged (for the convenience
of all concerned) at the Poll-Offices in Boflon,
Salem, Newburyport, Portsmouth ^ Portland,
and will be lodged at the Pod-Office of any
other port, if desired. Agents are appointed
tin all the ports above named, to accommo
date such as may with for immediate intel
ligence from the Pineyard.
The terms contain different rates of fees.
If a man applies for firft intelligence of an
arrival at the Pineyard, by the 20th of Sep
tember, inst. or three weeks before the day
of such arrival, HE shall have such intelli
gence at the lowest rate.
An applicant has nothing to pay until the
Proprietor or his Agents shall announce firft
intelligence of an arrival or other firft intel
ligence desired. —
Masters of Vessels will enter their arrivals
at the Pineyard free of any expense, that the
Proprietor (and the owners, if they please)
may have immediate knowledge of such ar
rivals.
JONATHAN GROUT, Patentee.
Boflon, Sept. 6, 1802.
AT a time when the laborious hnfbandman re
ceives the annual reward of his daily toil, when
he teeming earth presents him with a golden har
reft, w hat iribute is so proper as that of gratitude?
Then it is that the voice of Nature loudly calls for
the voice of praise. When we behold the circling
year crowned with the goodnef sos Him who
brings the seasons round ; when we fee all animat
ed beings partaking of the bounty of the (3 eator,
should we withhold our thanks, the brute creation
might well reproach our ingratitude.
Indebted for our exigence, what do we enjoy
for which we owe not thanks ? To our beneficent
Creator let us then consecrate his gifts, while we
regale our senses with the enjoyment of them.
Ingratitude is a crime so deteflable, that in all
ages, whoever has been known to be guilty of it
in his treatment of his fellow creatures, has been
branded with eternal infamy. What then mull
we think of those who are insensible to the obliga
tions they owe to the great Benefactor of mankind,
and instead of praising, refufe even to acknow
ledge the hand that feeds them.

HAMILTON'S
Worm-destroying Lozenges,
Which have within three years pafl cured upwards
of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSANDper-
Jons of both sexes, of every age, and in every fit
nation, of various dangerous complaints arijing
from worms, and from obfrunions, or foulnejs
in the stomach and bowels.—
DESCRIPTION OF WORMS,
And the fymptbms by which they are known.
WORMS which infeft the human body, arc chiefl, of four kinds,
viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Afcarides, or fmatl
mxw worm, the Cucurbitini, or short, rtat, white worm ; and
lastly, the Taenia or tape worm, so called from it. refemblauce
to tape—this is often many yards long, :nd is full ofjoints—it is
most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, arc, disagreeable
breath, especially in the morning ; bad and corrupted gums—
itching in the nose and about the feat—convulsions and epileptic
fits, and fometiines privation of speech.—Starting, and grinding
of the teeth in flcep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing foou,
and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid ttools—
Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stom
ach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowncG of fpirits—Slow
over, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive
third—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and tome
times the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflided with any of the above symptoms, should have
Immediate recourse to Hamilton's Wtaß-DtJlroying Lozenges, which
have been constantly attended with success in all complaints
similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm
season, will effectually prevent the " vomiting and purging of
children," a dreadful difArdcr which annually destroys thousands
of the infant part of our citizens. It is likewise the mildest and
and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and
ftrengh a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal
complaint—particular and plain instructions are given for every
part of the necessary treatment in such cases,
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness having a
pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste-

Genuine Essence and Extract of
MUSTARD.
A fafe and effedual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism
gout, rheumatic gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white-fwei
lings, chilblains, sprains, pain in the face atid neck, &c,
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in
pills, and thus excellently adapted both lor external and interna
use.
The Pills operate mildly by urine and by insensible perfpira
tiori, expelling the Superfluous and morbid humours they are
highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, re
move flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach
and bowels.
The Essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism,
gout lumbago and palsy—and by its peculiar penetrating and
difperhng quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises,
numbness, ttriffnefs of the neck, joints, &c. Swelled faces,
headache, indurated breasts, white-fuellings, frozen limbs, &c.
and will infallibly prevent the ill effeds of wet or damp in the
feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed
with equal fucccfs in such, variety of cases, but tlks surprise
will ccafe wheu it is recollected, tb.it all thofc complaints refold
from the fame causes—a slowness in the circulation of the lymph
or obftrudions in the lymphatic vessels.
Dr. Hamilton's ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for colds, obffinate coughs, Asthmas, fore
throats, and approaching consumptions.
Thousands are too well acquainted with the nature and effefr
of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above
complaints—dear bought experience has taught them that oily
and heating medicines, joined with strong opiates (or lleepy diugs)-
repeated doses of which flatter and deceive the patient for the
present, by procuring momentary case ; experience, 1 fay, has
taught thousands that the common opiates and balfamics, as they
are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs,
in their most distressing symptoms, that they load the ftoinach
and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the
difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the quality of this
valuable discovery are evidenced by perfectly opposite effects. A
SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it rellores the determination
of the fluids to the furface of the body, and brings on the com
mon healthful perspiration ; that it dislodges and evacuates the
tough, vifeid phlegm, or mucus, flrengthens the weakened vessels
of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious humours which irritate
the lungs, and finally discharges them, Thus striking at the root
of the disorder, the symptoms are of course effectually and per
manently conquered, the reverse of* common medicines which
weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for
the fake of moderating for the present some of its painful effeds.
To PAREN TS who may have childred afflicted with
the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the firli magnitude, as it affords immediate
relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes
the most cruel disorder to which children are liable, the Elixir is
so perfectly agreeable and the dose so Small that no difficulty a
rises in taking it.
Dr. HAHN's
, Antibillious PILLS.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and pre
vent its morbid secretions —to reform and amend the appetite—to pro
duce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, -which are often
of fatal confequcnces.—A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken
on its firft appearance—they arc celebrated for removing habitual
cojlivenefs—ficknefs at the fomach and severe headache —and ought
to be taken by all perfonson a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and
curing disorder, attendant on long voyages, and should be procured,
and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
