In mod of the great towns preparations are

son to the government of the United States.—lt,
is prefilmed the inhabitants of Portsmouth, so dif
tingmfhed, even inthe Reign of Terror, for their
uniform attachment to tiie Republican principles
of onr Conftitntioo will not be latt in public ex
pressions ot their feelings on so important an occa
fom—A contemplation of the dangers they have
escaped, from the malevolence of men, who want
ed only the power to exercise the cruelties of
Kobefpierre, mult fill every heart with the iofl
peaceful sensations, at the prafpett of an admin
istration, under which every man may fit under
his own vine and fig-tree, without the terrors of
military ruffians to molest, or the snares of Sedi
fen Laws to make him afraid.—

FEDERAILISM.
, " rfs the old one sings, the young one whistles.
Says Boor Richard.
In the presence of several citizen, who are rea
dy to ftaod forward and prove it, a yoting ma^
of about twenty five years of age, ion of Jam*
AIK, said, on Tuefday last, in the public Hreet,
that be would contribute FIFTY DOLLARS
for poisoning Thomas Jefferson. —What does
parson Abercrombie fay, is not this young man
orthodox? [Aurora.
MORE FEDERALISM!
To the Rev. John S. J. Gardner, Affiflant Min
ifler At Trinity Church,
Reputed author of' Cerberus, 'Epi/lle to Zends,
and c focobiniad."
Sir, —Did you not tell a refpe&able citizen of
this town that if Mr. Jefferfon “ was elected Pre
sident, you would quit this country ?" And when
you met this fame person the other day you alked
him who was to be President, he told you that it
was said Mr. Jefferfon wduld be the next Presi
dent, and observed that "according to your de
claration the other day you ought to be getting
your things ready to quit." And did yon not
make this wicked reply ?—"I'll be damn'd if 1 will
go, for I'll assassinate him before I'll quit this coun
ty-"
Comments on the above are unnecessary at pre
sent. [Boft.Tel.
A Philad. paper fays," There is nothing easier
to account for than the different effects ,bich have
been produced by present arid last election for
President. At the last, the democrats were frt.f
tated, and their candidates excluded from the
chief magifracy.=-Affaults, window breakings,
&c, were the confeqnence.—ln the present elec
tion, it appears, that the Federalists feve been dif
appointed-^What-is the effect ? We have ho riot
bugs, aflaulfs, or commotions, A laudable and
pe^refol acquiefence is universally manifefled." 1
[No, good, orderly, pious, gentle-men, you have
"no riotings, afaults and commotions , but have
rccourje to more open, manly, and heroic mea
jurcs, Juch as poison, assassination,&c.]
Baltimore, Dec ts.
On Friday last Mr. Jefferfon received at the City
of Washington, a letter from C. C. Pinckney Esq.
Informing him that the- electors of the State of
South Carolina had given eight votes for Thomas
Jefferfon, and [even for Aaron Burr.
[lf this be the case, as it undoubtedly is, the Ma
jor will not have " a chance of keeping Mrjeffer-
Joty out of the Prudency one year longer,, as he
expelled.j
" The Jacobins themselves, (sot the oppofers of
Mr. Jefferfon are now Jacobins) do not find fault
with the French Treaty, but call it a liberal and
commercially advantageous treaty.—they were
however in hopes it Would have been a good bone
for them to gnaw, but chagrin and disappoint
ment is now the order of the day with those ene
mies of the rights ot man."/
It is said the French Treaty has been ratified
by the Senate of the O. S.

AaIMPROMPTIJ^of the moment from a correjpon
dent, on hearing the news favorable to Jeffer-
Jon's Elellion.
Tune " Hail Columbia."
Awake ye trimmers, hail the throng,
Come and join our fide that's strong,
^ Let no bale fear of Britain's power,
Let no base fear of Britain's power,
App J you now for freedom reigns,
And JEFFERSON a triumph gains;
'Tis he, the people's friend will rule,
Tn him no Monarch finds a tool.
Onr would-be nobles now may mourn
That terrors reign cannot return.
, "Firm united let us be,
Rallying round our liberty,
As a band of Brothers join'd,
Peace and fafety we shall find."

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
AARON BURR
" Was educated in the College of New-Jersey,
of which his father was President ; he- was 22
years of Age, in 1776. aid de-cap to gen. Putnam,
and distinguished himfelf in so eminent a manner
as an officer, that he was, felefted and appointed
bv our'beloved Gen. Wa(hington, Lieutenant Col
onel of one of the twelve additional regiments,
and served with great reputation until after the
battle of Monmouth^ndahe redu#ion of his re
giment. His emityre^M ^lawyer, his brilliant ]
and unshaken intffilty ^heo^A tcorney General at■
New York, whilq^re|qfrl that city in the 1
legislature, and thUtyem tlPSenate of the Unbl
ted States, are as umrofafly acknowledged as they
4 are known ; his great taleuts, his Republican
principles, and folicitnde to preserve the inde
prudence of h is country, are. inferior to no man's
in America, and therefore he is recommended as
a fuitabic character for Vice ?^|t'
I" Millions for Defence, but not a Cent for
Tribute''!!
An Alexandria paper of Dec. 15, contains the
following IMPORTANT article.
SITGREAVES' NEGOCIATION.
" Fll faut de TArgent."
We are informed by authority upon which we
can rely, that Mr. Sitgreaves has at length negoci,-
ated an adjustment of our differences with Great
1 Britain which have arisen in confequeuce of the
Sixth article of our treaty of amity, commerGe,
and navigation with that power. Government
we believe, has not yet received an official copy
of the inJlrument, and our knowledge of it is not
Efficiently extensive to state with precision many
of the leading features or the nature of the claims
which are barred by it id future ; but we can
venture to assert; that, as the Jolid basts upon
which the two nations is to be founded, it is stip
ulated that Jpecified sum of money shall be paid
by the Government of the United States to that of
Great Britain, and in consequence that certain
claims of a particular nature foil not be again
adduced. The Commissioners will then resume
the exercise of their funßions.''
REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS:
Virginia—His Excellency James Munroe, re
elected.
South-Carolina-His Excellency Johh Dayton,
late Lieutenant Governor.
William Hindman is elected Senator of the U.
States for Maryland, to supply the vacancy occa
sioned by the resignation of Mr. Lloyd, the father
of the Sedition Law.
Whed the firft draft of the Sedition law palled
the senate, Mr. Lloyd e,ulted that there was now
a profpett of putting every scoundrel democrat to
death if he dared (peak of the government.
The poor feds are consoling themselves with the
reflation, that there may be a fort of a kind of a
poflible poflibility that Rhode-lfland has given Mr.
Pinckney, four votes—though if they could have
given 11 more, it would not have been enough.
Aurora.
A good federalift, who conflantly hears the
Rev. Mr. Abercrombie, declared in the Street, that
if" Jesus Christ were to come from Heaven and
'' fay so, he would not believe Jefferfon ever could
" be Prefident."—This man no doubt is not an a
theifl—nor a deist—nor a jacobin—he is one of the
true High Church Tory Christians. ib.
-<-&>.
A letter has been received from a gentleman at
Columbia, who had been informed by one of the
• Electors of South Carolina, that Thomas Jefferfon
would have 8 votes, and Aaron Burr 7.
,N. Intel.
LIBERTY !
• A regulation has taken place at Calcutta, by
which all news papers are not permitted to be
published till they have firft been infpefted by the
Secretary of the government, and every article
expunged which he may disapprove.
It is in contemplation to make a turnpike road
