Portsmouth, JULY 14, 1801.

" Out of your own mouths, Jhall ye be con
demned, ye revilers of a wise, just and
PATRIOTIC EXECUTIVE.
WHEN Mr. Adams, in the plenitude of " pow
er, and without regard to " right, determined
on the expulsion from office of every man who
was not willing to ling the requiem of American
yiepublicanifm, and fliput hosannas to the name
of a usurping faction—what was then the language
es "federal " editors and news-writers? This is
no trivial question. It is ufeful to retrofpeft, and
now and then to hold up the mirror of days past
to those who forget the part they formerly aged.
If the fame men who now think no language too
severe with which to animadvert upon the jufl
cxercife of the President's conflitmional powers,
were wont to applaud their partial, unjust and
oppressive exercise by Adams —is not the inference
dear, that these men are the word of hypocrites,
or anting under the most powerful of delations ?
It was not the seeming intolerance of depriving
republicans of office without (apparently) fuffici
ent reasons, grounded on mal-condutt in office,
that excited the amimadverfion of republican writ
ers upon Mr. Adams. But it was the well found
ed belief that the Administration a^led upon a
systematic plan for destroying the Constitution, &
Introducing Monarchy—and that hence it was,
that republicans, real friends to.the Conftitutiou,
were 64 turned adrift, to use a federal phrase, not
for mai-condod in office, but for being opposed
in opinion to the measures of Administration. .The
firft vidim to the usurping schemes, hatched in the
cabinet or rather divan of Mr. Adams, was Tench
Coxe, Commissioner of the Revenue. The Farm
er's Mnfeum, the most refpeaable federal paper,
in point of editorial genius and ability, ever print
ed in the United States, the Editor of which was
intimately connected with Administration, thus
announced the difmMfon of Mr. Coxe :=-
" The President of the United States has thought
proper to difinifs Tench Cxe from his office as
Commissioner of the Revenue. It is surmised,
that this gentleman is a secret perhaps an open foe
to adminiftratiort. He ha, written a valuable
book, and, we believe, has fulfilled his bureau du

There is not a " federal" paper in the Union
which has not more th an once averted or insinu
ated, that the Democrats were bankrupts, who
wished to disorganize society, that in a date of
confufion they might by Confiscation and plunder
retrieve their ruined fortunes. But within a few
days pall, a paragraph which originated in the
Trenton Federaiift, has been adopted in the selec
tions of a hundred federal editors ; and—mark the
confiflency of the lan^pooners of Repudlicanifm—
this paragraph charges Mr. Jefferfon, aid a very
ferioys charge it is thought to be by federal quid
nuncs; it charges him with bestowing offices on
" the riched men of his party"—“ the richefl men
in the community !"—With what magical facility
can federal editors change poverty and rags into
riches and gold lace! But is it not enough to
make " those laugh who never laughed before, to
fee how these noble Jpirited DISINTERESTED
patriots, writhe and twill (like a wounded jnake,
or a gibbetted creole) since they have been dis
turbed by the poor-rich Democrats in the exclu
sive possession of the LOAVES and FISHES! from
the complexion of Federal Gazettes it feeins that
a federal patriot loves bis country in proportion
to the share he obtains of places and pensions!
But for the dignity of human nature, we hope
these whining and grumbling Gazettes are not so
many faithful mirrors of the whole party, ib.
From a Hartford paper.
RATS..' RATS ! FEDERAL RATS !
We have frequently been alarmed by the cry of
Rats ; and have heard how these mifebievous ani
mals knawed a passage into the Treasury of the
United States, and destroyed an immense portion
of the public property. The depredations com
mitted by those large Rats in the property of the
federal government, being remote, has not been
much regarded. But we have lately difeovered
an inferior species of this kind of vermin, though
less powerful than the other, are not less inclined
to plunder. Several of these animals have lately
been detected in plundering the Treasury of the
county of Hartford ; they were taken in a trap
and could not escape ; but it appearing that they
entered into the Treasury at an old hole which had
been made by other Rats tome years past, and that
they dole no more than their predecessors had
been wont to (leal, the business was hushed up
and they were allowed to escape without punish
ment. Their entire exculpation was, however,
partly effected by the influence of some large rats
who had been in the fame practices.
A difeovery has also been lately made, that a
bout two years since, five rats gnawed a passage
into the Treasury of the county of Litchfield,thro'
which they have from time to time, secretly pilfer
ed the property depufited there, it is said these
Rats were led on by two of their company belong
ing to the tipper apartments, better (killed in the
artsof peculation. To what extent these animals
Would have carried their mTchief, if they had not
been prevented by a lucky difeovery, is uncertain.
It is not yet afeertained whether any other coun
ty Treasury has fuffered in like manner.
It is worthy of notice how confident federal
practice is with federal principles. During Mr.
Adams'S administration it was unpardonable in
any one to call in quellion or doubt- the expedi
ency and propriety of any measure, of Govern
ment. The old doctrine of passive obedience was'
rung in all the federal papers in America. Every
man who lisped his doubt of the expediency of
any measure, even the provisional Army, or dis.
mission of Republicans from office, was denoun
ced as a diforganizer and an enemy to his country.
Now forfooth the tone is changed. Mr. Jef
ferson does not poflefs that infallibility which
they have so long been preaching was attached
to Office. They seem to doubt their favorite
principle that 6 the Chief Magiflrate can do no
wrong.' —They fee, or think they fee, wrong in
every measure of his administration. He has
dared to appoint Republicans to adminider a Re
publican Government. He has ventured to trans
mit letters to feme federal office holders and mo
ney catchers with uncourtly language like, your
Jerwices are no longer needed. Surely these things
mutt be wrong. Especially since he declared—
we are all Republicans, all Federalists?
What, do Federalists themselves so soon aban
don their political creed ? And will they them
selves undermine the fuperdru fture which they
have taken such unwearied pains to rear ? Repub
licans always believed their doctrines were falla
cious, and are happy to fee them convinced of it
themselves. The Ihafts of disappointment cannot
inflift a wound. He who has been vilified and
fhamefully calumniated in every federal paper on
the Continent without complaining, will look
with a finile of ineffable contempt on the few
New- England Federal Newfpiper slanders,
which are weekly circulated againU him. [Chron.]

One of the mod common and plausible argu
ments in favor of the former legislative and exe
cutive adminifiration of our government, is found
ed upon the encreafe of the population, agricul
ture, commerce, navigation, &c. of the United
States. There tea fallacy in this popular mode
of reasoning. The natural growth of such a
youthful country as this, is not the produce of
government, any more than the progred of a
-[Farmer's Museum, Jan. 16, 1798]
From the connection that fubhded between the
Museum and the Cabinet or Divan at Philadelphia,
we certainly have a right to suppose the above
jollification of Mr. Coxe's difmiffion to have been
derived from the latter. But be this as it may, it
was re-echoed and applauded in the federal
prints of the day ; and by all the retailers of fed
eral politics, it was thought to be a chef d'vuvre
of logic, and to obtain the chief outlines of a found
fyltem of policy. But these gentlemen ought to
recollect, that what Was trhe in 17,8. cannot be
the reverse of truth in 1801 From their own
premises, without affirming or denying Mr. Jeff
erfon to be actuated by the fame motives, we
may failly infer, that if it was jud and necefiry
for the Administration of 1798 to dismiss officers
of “ integrity," on the bare Jurmife or Jufpicion
of their difafteftion to its measures ; it is dill
more just and necessary for the present Admini
flratiou to dismiss those who want integrity, and
who lb far from being only fajpetted or surmised
to belong to the ranks of opposition, have openly
avowed and gloried in their difaffettion. Remem

MENT!!!” [Albany Reg.
fa lack of zeal to our Government. If our grave,

It is said and not denied, that Mr. Goodrich,
ci-devant collector at New Haven, very obliging
ly made it a practice to let the merchants store,
their rum before it was surveyed and infpetled.
Now as the duties on fourth proof rum are 32
cents per gallon, and a little reduction of the
quality or diminution of the quantity previous to
inlpetftion might save a few of these odd cents,
doubtless the merchants were foniewhat obliged to
the collector for this indulgence, and bound to re
monllrate against his removal, as well by grati
tude as a regard t< b their future interefl, which his
successor very probably (being a democrat) might
not be so instrumental in promoting. Does Mr.
Webfler allude to these spiritual matters, when
he fays the merchants signed a very Jpirited re
monflrance to the President ? Bee.

Mr. Madison's health has rather improved, eith

since he entered into office, and he has not ex
pressed any intention to retire from office.
As to what Mr. King may himfelf intend, we
pretend not to know; but certainly if he pur

to whom it ought to be firft made known.
