Oracle post — Portsmouth, N.H., 1805-02-12 00:00:00, page 3

We are happy in concluding from all accounts yet
received, that ^is Excellency the Governor will re
ceive a cordial support from the correct citizens of
old New-Hampshire at the ensuing election— The
consistent firmnesshe has shewn on every trying oc
casion has endeared him to numerous friends, and
' we doubt not of b.^ receiving a very handsome ma
jority of votes. 1
A few years ago it would hardly have been be
lieved that representatives chosen & nd paid to at
tend the General Court, and there transact busi
ness as legislators, would so abuse the trust reposed
in then, as to waste their time, or rather that of
the public in conventional and caucus meetings,
and from these secret societies after the manner
of the Jacobin clubs of Paris, imperiously denounce
some candidates and propose others, for whom the
people should vote for as State Officers. A selec
tion in which they are not to exercise as formerly
any judgment of tl@ir oWn^Ridiculous and even
audacious as these measures are, they have been
practised by the democratic members of our Ge
neral Court at Concord. At all times it must be
the extreme of folly and presumption for members
of C^urt from Coos and Grafton counties to nomi
nate Counsellors and Senators for the county and
districts of Rockingham—to remedy this difficulty
these assuming gentry have taken care almost ex
clusively to NOMINATE THEMSELVES ! ! ! Do
read over their list of Governor, Counsellors and
Senators, and then ask the question whether every
one of those named were not present in conven
tion, to nominate their own selves.—A pretty sam
ple indeed of democratic modesty—their high
mightinesses formerly in Holland, and lately the
Consul Buonaparte in France, have played these
pranks, and named their successors, but in New-
Hampshire the experiment is novel, and certainly
if every one of these conventionalists, for their pre
sumption and wickedness should ever hereafter be
considered as unworthy to serve the state in any of
fice^the punishment would be inadequate to the
offence, although these modest gentlemen have now
a full share of the loaves and fishes of govern
ment. Stillthese questions respecting a candidate are
improper—is he honest ?—is he capable ?—no the
people of New-Hampshire are not to make such
old fashioned queries as these.
None are to be elected but the very gentlemen
who have nominated themselves 1 fewer charges are
bro't against federal men than formerly—this extra
ordinary nomination of candidates is not justified on
the old ground—nothingjs said of high salaries be
cause the democrats have continued them for their
own use—nothing is said of taxes because they
have increased them by adding a new duty on ar
ticles of importation, nothing is alledged of the
waste and expenditure of public money since we
are bound to pay FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO FRANCE, for the purchase of a
country of no value to New-England—They are
silent about what they called the gag law, because
under the present administration the truth cannot
be given in evidence.
The only reason brought forward by this party
now a days to elect men exclusively of their own
sentiments, is that our state government may har
monise v w "he general government of the United
States—°c , well known by every body, that our
general government is under the influence of a Vir
ginian aristocratic junto—This has been publicly de
clared by men of their own party, such as Mr.
Davis of Kentucky, Butler of Soutli Carolina, El
liot of Vermont, and even Lyon himself—Mr. E.
has publicly slid to his constituents—l cannot but
tremble, not only for the independence of the Judi
ciary, but for the liberties of the people—and again
—.Their proceedings from first to last appear to
me to constitute, the greatest strides towards A
ristocracy, in our country that we have ever
witnessed—under such circumstances it is incum
bent on all the friends of good government in New-
Hampshire, to take all lawful measures, to defeat
the views of this dangerous combination, lately or
ganized at Concord—and now busily employed
throughout the State.
We have been in expectation of gleaning from
the country papers, a list of the Senators aryl Coun
sellors that will be supported by the Federal Re
publicans at the ensuing meeting.—As yet however
we have been disappointed—all these papers being
silent on the subject.
F. The fine must have been heavy, and the term
el imprisonment of the grcateft duration which the
law would allow.
A. Callender declared, and be published his dec
hratinn, that " The Profpea Before Us," had been
febmitted to Mr. Jefferfon's infpeaion before it
was published —that it obtained his patronage —
and that he not only received his acknowledgement
and approbation but a reward in money.
F. Has this declaration of Callender been refu
ted.
A. Not to—the fine was two hundred dollars. --
the term of imprifoament Ido not recoiled, out it
was not of the utrouft legal duration.
F. Was the fine paid, and the imprisonment fuf
fered?'_
F. Is the power of pardon, and the remission of
fines in all cases vested in the Prudent ?
A. No—the ConftnutionmAes exceptions—and
the reftoratinn of Callender's fine, alter it had been
placed in the public treasury, by a payment to tie
officer of the United States has been thought an in-
Iradion ofthe Constitution, which exp^lsiy Lys
that no monies (hall bedrawn from the treasury but
by legal appropriation.
F. It muff have been an oversight—has any cause
been affigoed to fliew that it could have been clone
in deliberate violation ofthe Constitution
A. With what view it was dene, or u<what
degree of advisement, muff be referred to oejudge
merit, which may be formed on faffs as fined by
Callender after his release from pilon, and the re,
million of hi&fre.
F. Wbat were tbofe fa& ? ^^ % ^^
A. The fine was paid by Callender---but on Mr.
Jefferfon's accession to the Frefideocy, it was re
mitted ; and the martini to whom it had been paid,
was directed to return it.
A. I believe no contradiaion of it has yet ap
peared. Callender was indeed so particular in his
ftatelnent, as to name the perlon by whole hand he
received the pecuniary reward, and he appealed to
him for the truth of the fa&. The perlon was a
kinsman of President fifferfon
F. I am truly astonished by what you tell me'
but my wonder at what is now puffing, has seated
