nothing of correct politics ? that.they ought to with
draw their confidence from their own countrymen,
and take their creed implicitly from those whom
crimes and the spirit of fortune hunting have cast
Upon our shores ? If not, look at the most active and
almost the only writers in favor of Mr. Jefferson.
Duane is a foreigner ; Wood is a foreigner ; Callen
der was a foreigner ; Cheetham is a foreigner ; Pas
quin is a foreigner, and lastly Tom Elwyn is a for
eigner.
Who is Torn Elwyn r^-Have you read the letter
to a Federalist ; the "inspiring pamphlet" recom
mended by Tony Pasquin ? Be not gulled ; that let
ter is from the pen of Tom Elwyn, now of Ports
mouth, New-Hampshire, but lately from England.
No American will own it ; it is, as it ought to be,
the production of an alien, ft is altogether impos
ture ; a mere family catch, Written to help if pos
sible, his father-in-law Langdon into the chief mag
istracy of New-Hampshire ; but so vague as to ap
ply in Massachusetts, or any where. We say it is
altogether imposture, for it is against the conviction
and professions of the writer ; who, within a month,
has expressed the utmost contempt of Mr. Jeffer
son and his administration ! Blush Democrats ; but
honest men, beware of counterfeits.
Since the real writer of this pamphlet is ascertain
ed to be a brother of Tony Pasquin, perhaps it
may scarcely merit a refutation, but as it has ob
tained some circulation, owing to the want of his
name, we shall again bring the " inspiring" Tom
my Elwyn before the public. Repertory.
LET us glance back at the time when Mr.
Langdon was Chief Magistrate of the State. Was
that a day of unanimity and concord ? No.—Was
he ever chosen by any thing like an universal suf
frage ? No.—Did public opinion attach so fondly
on him as to elect him almost without a competi
tion ? No.—The different fortunes of the two can
didates explain the difference of their character.
Mr. Gilman.has been the most esteemed, when men
were tranquil, dispassionate, and united. Mr.
Langdon's rate seems ever to have been, to set the
ocean of politics into a rage, and then to float him
pelf on the surface
IN the year 1785, there was no choice of Gover -
nor by the people : the election of course devolved
on the Legislature. As the constitution then stood,
the House of Representatives were to elect two out
ofthe four highest candidates ; and of these two,
the Senate were to make a final choice. Mr. Lang
f don was one of the four highest candidates. It is
believed he had fewer votes than either of the o
thers : certain it is, he had much fewer than some
of them. The Legislature were sitting in Ports
mouth; and Mr. Langdon was dected by the House,
and sent up to the Senate for their final decision, in
company with M ^ Atkinson. The Senate were
aot behind the House in point of complaisance : &
turned. ' .
We know thata great majority of the citizens of
the State of New-Hampshire are friends of the union
* and of the present Administration of our Federal
Government ; but while enjoying the benefits ari
sing therefrom, and a relief from the taxes and
burdens of a former Administration, they have, by
remissness and inattention, permitted every branch
of our State Government, until the last year, to be
filled with a majority of men who have always, and
in all things, shewn themselves inimical to our Na
tional Government ; and who have constantly done
all in their power to counteract the salutary mea
sures thereof, and to procure its subversion ; and
notwithstanding a decided majority in both branch
es of the Legistature for the last year,we have been
and ever shall be subjected to many and great em
barrassments untill a similar change shall be effec
ted in the Executive Department also.
To induce the citizens of this State to use the
privileges, and to fill the offices of State with such
men as will administer the Government according to
the will of the people ; and that this State may re
gain that influence in the Councils and Government
of the nation, of which her political conductors have
for a long time deprived her, were the ends pro
posed by the Convention of the Legislature, and to
promote which they look with confidence for the
exertions of all the friends of a republican govern
ment in the State. M. DOW, Chairman.
tost adviseable for yea tb pursue, is— that on same

most active- republicans in your town, and cause

each man ids district, whose duty it shall be to see
that every republican in that district be furnished

That you be careful that there be provided a
sufficient number of votes for all the republican vo

That such political information and writings as
you may from time to time receive, be distributed
among your fellow-citizens in such manner as will

are sound, its statements correct, audits advice the

more luminous career we give it wdl both gratify

Jf, on the other hand, its statements are false, fa
politics unsound, its advice pernicious, it would be
uncharitable in us to suppose the people wanted
sufficient discernment to discover its tendencies
and to guard against them. We have no doubt,the
sober and candid portion of our readers will see in
it only the dark and secret manoeuvres of a faction
disposed to gain a point, long struggled for at every

Are you an American born ? Do you love your

We are happy m noticing the rising disposition of
pur Friends, to guard the great Election which is
shortly to take place. Their utmost vigilance will

what yet remains of a stable and moral Government,
will secure them the Election,
The Oracle.
though Mr, Atkinson had received the most vote s
from the people, they elected Mr. Langdon by se
ven votes out of twelve 1— Thus was it, that this
man of the people became Chief Magistrate, with
out probably having received the suffrage of one
freeman out of six in the State. For the four suc
ceeding years, the State was rent into factions by
the struggle between Mr. Langdon and General
Sullivan. Three years out of the four, the claims of
the Warrior prevailed ; till at length both parties
retired from the strife, the one on the tehch of the
District Court, and the other into the Senate of
the United States.—Such was the career of Presi
dent Langdon. Factions are his constant precur
sors. Whenever he appears in our horizon, he
forebodes a storm. Storms and thick darkness can
alone make his light visible.

last year is more than six per cent, on the first

•WAR!
SPAIN vs. GREAT-B RITAIN.
ACCOUNTS from various quarters, render it
next to certain, that Spain, compelled by France,
had declared war against Great- Britain. A letter
from the house of Gardoqui,(whole brother is Secre
tary to the Spanifli Minister, the Prince of Peace)
at Bilboa, to an eminent merchant in Salem, Rates
“ that war had been declared by Spain against Eng
land." Captain Remonds, whose arrival at Bev
erly, from Bilboa, was announced in the last Cen
tinel, informs, that Spain declared war against
Great Britain, the 13th of December last. Avef
lel arrived at Norfolk from Cadiz, which flic left
the 3d January, Rates that the Spanish King had
pubiilhed a Manifefto, of the reasons which had
impelled him to declare war againit Great-Britain.
Such are the fads.
Letters and accounts from Washington, to the
20th nit. state the progress of the trial of Judge
Chafe. On the 16th seven witnesses on the part of
the Judge, were examined ; —of them were the
Chief Justice of the United States and Mr. Ran
dolph, formerly Marshal of Virginia.—The Lat
ter pofirivety cornradiaed the testimony of
Mr. Heath.—He denied ever having (hewn to
Judge Chafe the pannel of Callender's jury. Ou
the 19th the examination of the witnesses on the
part of Judge Chafe, closed : and the pleadings
were to commence on the 20th. Judge Chafe 011
account of severe indisposition, had obtained leave
ofabfence.
It was expected the trial would be closed by the
425th February. 4 —The judge's friends have no hesi
tation in anticipating his honorable acquittal.—
Since his answer has been heard and considered, the
Judge has been treated with greater respect ;—and
the proceedings of the High Court has been mar
ked with candor and impartiality.
His Excellency Gov. Strong, has issued his
Proclamation, appointing Thursday, the fourth day
of April next, to be observed in Mass, as a Day

He was attacked on Tuesday morning, and was|
speechless from the moment of his attack to thel
moment of his exit to another world. It is but jus
tice to the memory of the deceased, to sketch the
qualities by which he was so eminently distinguished ,
in the circle in which he moved. Mr. Paul possess-.
ed in an eminent degree, the sterling christian qual- 1
ities—The vexatious occurrences of life which fret;
and injure the temper of many men, served only to
soften and harmonize his mind, and prepare him for
the free and gentle exercises of practical religion.
He supported a life of sickness with a philosophic
patience, and in all the departments of son, of hus
band, father and friend, he exhibited the patient
man influenced by best principles, and influencing
others by the excellence of his demeanor, he died
deeply lamented, and the tears of a numerous ac
quaintance have watered his grave.

distinguished himself by his activity and usefulness

which standeth in length of time, nor that is mea
