fpecdi some others, lately put into great employ
ments, can be called jacobins ? I doubt whoever
would fait the definition to the persons, mutt make
it directly contrary to what we underlined it at
the time of the revolution.
In order to remove these misapprehensions
among us, I believe it will be neceflary, upon oc
cation, to detect the malice and falfbood of some
, popular maxims which those ideots scatter from
\ the press, and draw an hundred absurd confequen
tyces from them.\
\ For example ; I have beard it often objected as
ia great piece of inf L\ ce in the people,, to fay or
font that the State ^ n in c nger ; but, the State
may be in danger or er the? oeft Governor, and
without the lead gw " < f rbe.l <, is inch a truth as
a man mull be a great driver to history and
common sense, to doubt. '. ' vifelt Governor on
earth may be forced by the n^efity of his affairs,
and the present, power of an unruly faction, or de
ceived by the craft of ill-defining men. One or
two people molt in his confidence, may at firft
have good intentions, but grow corrupted by time,
bv avarice, by ambition, end have fairer terms
offered them, to gratify t^ir pagions or interests,
from one ft of men than another, until they are
too far involved for a retreat ; and Co be forced
to take fezen spirits snore nicked than tnemjehes.
This is a very possible case ; and will not the lafl
State of such men be worje than the firft ? that is
to fay, will not the public, which was fafe at firft,
,row in danger by such proceedings as these ? —
And fell a faithful citizen, who forefees and
trembles at the confeqnences, be called dijaffetted,
because he delivers his opinion, although the
Governor declares, as he juttly may, that the dan
ger is not owing to his administration ?

STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE!
BY THE GOVERNOR.
A Proclamation.
To those who believe that the piofperity
and happiness of States,and Nations, depend
upon the good pleasure of Almighty God,
no arguments can be wanting, to evince the
propriety of the practice of our pious Fore
fathers, which has been continued to the
present time, of appointing at the beginning
of each year a certain day, inviting the Peo
ple throuhout the State, to devote the fame
to the purposes of Humiliation, Fading, and
Prayer.
Therefore, I have thought fit, by and with
advice of Council, to appoint Thursday the
Seventh day of April next, to be observed as a
day of Humiliation, Falling and Prayer,
throughout this State ; and do recommend
that Mioifters, and People, of every denomi
nation, assemble on said day at their respec
tive places of public worship, that we may
with united and penitent hearts, confefs
our fins, implore forgivenefs,and intreat the
Father of Mercies for his bleflings upop us.
That fervent prayers be made to the Su
preme Governor of the Universe for his
bleflings on the People and Government of
the United States; that all in authority may
have a just sense of that Righteousness which
exalterh a Nation, and our Union be ftrength
cnerl and perpetuated.
That it would please God to bless this
State, prosper our Civil Government, and
itrfpire our Rulers with a just sense of their
iefpe&ive Rations, that they may duly con
sider themselves as Agents for promoting the
lading welfare of the People, banilh that
fear of man, which brfogeth a snare, and re
member that they are accountable to the
Lord of the Universe for their official,.as
•well as private condu&.
That the People throughout our State and
Nation may with due cape, and candor, ex
amine the concilia of those who are appoint
ed to offices of tiuft and confidence wifely
dittingufth between profeffions practices, and
render to every one his due. That a flop
may be put to those licentious opinions and
pra&i r & < hii arc so deftruaive to free
Governments. That Virtue, Morality, and
Religh; may revive and flourish, and the
diftirgu^hed privileges with which we are
i voured, for the promotion of Civil and Re
-1 gious liberty, be wifely improved and trans
mitted unimpaired to' succeeding genera-

COMMUNICATION.
The advocates for High Salaries, are every
where in motion, to persuade the People to con
tinue their old patron Mr. Gilman in office.
Having tailed the Tweets of his Influence, and fat
tened ten long years on the labors of the People—
they dread a change that may reduce their fabrics
in proportion to the reduced prices of the Farmer's
produce. It is a fatt, and the Journals of our Le
gislature show it, that finer Mr. Gilman has been
Governor of this State, the falariesof our Public
Officers have been enormotifly increased, and from
the doings of the left session, it is evident, that
this avaricious difpolition is not yet farisfied.—
Should Mr. Gilman be again elected, it is morally
certain, that further attempts will be made to
raise the Salaries of some ofhis chosen friends, be
yond their preient encreafed rate—For tho' they
fyeceeded last June, in railing some of them be

"TRUE AS THE DIAL TO THE SUN."

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.
TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1803'.
From the N. K American Citizen, March 5.
At an early hour yesterday it was rumoured
that the militia of Kentucky had embodied them
selves, and, in opposition to the General Govern
ment, were on the eve cf descending the Miffifippi
to take possession of New-Orleans. The rumour
gained not a moment's credence with us. The
good sense of the Kentuckians, and their warm
attachment to the Federal Government, forbade
the belief of the mifehievous report.
In the afternoon, however, the Evening Post and
Commercial Advertiser laid before us formal
Statements of jt in a manner and with a Spirit ex
tremely unbecoming. They were couched so as
to induce the belief that Kentucky was absolutely
in a state of rebellion. Both Were derived from
the fame foUrce, but they nevertheless differ.—
The Post fays that 15,000 Kentuckians were en
•camped ; the Commercial Advertiser ffates them
at 20,000. They both however agree in thig, that
the inhabitants had railed by fubfeription 50,000
dollars for the purchase of arms and ammunition,
of which the present governor had given 2,000 ! !
This is fufficient of itfelf to defeat the story, for no
one can suppose that the governor of Kentucky
would countenance and abet rebellion against the
General Government, by a contribution of 2,000
dollars !
yond their former Standard, they fell Short of what
they aimed at. A comparison of the salaries and
compensations ot Public Officers, under former ad
ministrations, with those given under Mr. Gilman
will exhibit a Striking contrail between the oecon
omy of past and present times — When Gen. Sul
livan was at the head of our Government, he
received a salary only of 666 2-3 dollars, and he
reviewed the whole Militia of the State, and was
capable of doing it.—Gov. Gilman's salary has
been increased from time to time, to 1200 dollars
—and it appears he is not fatisfied even with that ;
for about three years ago he made a communica
tion to the Legislature, which was conlidered as a
threat ot resignation, it bis salary was not increas
ed—it is well known that his particular connec
tions then warmly contended for 1500 dolls.—
Under Ged Sullivan rhe Secretary received but
100 dolls, per annum—under Mr. Gilman his sala
ry is 400 founder Gen. Sullivan the Members of
the Legislature received only 1 dollar per day—
under Mr. Gilman they receive 2 dollars per day
while in session ;—under Gen. Sullivan the salaries
of the Judges did not exceed 600 dollars—under
Mr. Gilman they are almost double ;—pnder Geo.
Sullivan the Attorney Gen's compensation was 651.
—lait year it was raised to 500 dolls ;—Altho' rhe
people, from wh?fe labors talaries are paid,cannot
obtain so much for the produce of <beir farms by
almost one half,'as they formerly could. Should
the salaries ot Public Officers continue to increase
for ten years to come, as they have for ten years
Past, the whole earnings of the laborious commu
nity, must be mortgaged for their payment—
For the continual .cry for that period has been
GIVE GIVE—Let us then apply the remedy which
the Constitution has provided—and by a whole
some change of men, endeavor to introduce a
system ofoeconomy, which while if shall afford a
proper cbmpenfatibn to Public Officers, will leave
the residue of our earnings at our own disposal.

We hear from Ipswich, that the following fad
catastrophe took place lallThurfday nights—The
Newburyport Stage coming from Boston, ftopt at
Maj. Swafey's & Started from there about 7
o'clock, when they had got as far as the Post Of
fice, the horses ran againtt an Ox team, which
Stood in the middle of the road, and killed one of
the oxen, threw the driver (a Mr. Miller) from
his feat, and Wounded him very much, the horses
by running against a tree, cleared themselves from
the carriage and run clear—some ot the pa ffengers
were much wounded, Maj. Dearbon, of Old York
had one of his hips put out of joint, and some of
the other passengers, (there being eight) badly
bruised. Surgical aid was immediately called,
and it is hoped no lives will be loft.

Bleft be the day that join'd in Jilken bands.
The happy lover's fond, united hands !
If hich made the twain, no longer twain, but one,
Ordain'd thro' life, that bli/sful courje to run;
Where mutual joys, are rapt to blifsfupreme;
And common Jorrowsflit as morn's light dream;
Where ficknejs, loses half its matal paw'r ;
And death itfelf, in life's receding hour ;
DiJarm'd by love, of fate's invenom'd dart,

But lovely, pleasant. undivided fill,

The gentlemen from whom the two editors de
rived their information and with which they en
deavoured to alarm the public, is one William
Hunter, a federal lawyer from Rhode-Ifland. Mr.
Hunter attended, as a profeffional man, the Su
preme Court at Washington, and left there it is
said on Saturday, the 26th February, when au
express had arrived from Kentucky announcing
this event : however refpettable Mr. Hunter may
be, we cannot believe the report he has so in
dustriously circulated. We have letters from
Washington dated 26th February, but not a word
is said on the fubjeft. And yet they come from
gentlemen who, had the express arrived mull have
known it, and would undoubtedly have been the
firfl to communicate it to this city. We repeat that
our information from Wafhingron is as late as
that of Mr. Hunter, and yet that our letters are

ated so much alarm.
