WHILE we cannot but commend and
r pvere the generous difpofhion to conciliate,
manifested by the republicans towards their
opponents ; and while we may fondly en
tourage the hope that Tome good has or may
t.fult therefrom, let its Hill keep prudence
on our fide ; it us beware, and not go too
far, left by some unforfeen circumstances we
p'^rifh.
Although it is painful to a mind, capable
of nurturing generous fentimehts to all man
kind; to be forced to think; not to fay write,
about the scenes which have but lately pall
ed before Us ; yet although many may feel
the lash, who perhaps deserve forgivenefs, a
desire to prevent a repetition of such scenes
muff outweigh all other confederations. —
V/hat republican can look back on the traf
adionsio 1798'without fhudderfhg r Who
ivould with to live again in such times ?
Surely no one, and who can fay we thall
not ; While the imagination brings to our
View the individuals who were most forward
in perfecting the republicans, let none of
the perfected keep rancour in his breast a
gatnft them,if we do we 'ball be,Treading in
their footft'eps, as well as disobeying one
of the Hrongert and meft necessary moral
duties. Let us rather fortify curfelves, let
ns leave no chink or crevice in the fortifica
■tions of republicanism at which our enemies
fray enter. Let us always be prepared to
prevent a breach, and ready to repair it it
unfortunately one should ever be made, in
stir conltiimion. The condud unniform
fy pursued by our opponents should be as a
mirror conftahtly before us, hot to faife or
inftame our partions, but to -fruftrate their
Aligns ; if we have witnessed any good ac
dons'let us avoid them onrfelvcs, and nev
er^eave it in their power to commit the
like again..
The ami-republicans; th some instances,
have a&d in a manner becoming a better

wmerfally and uniformly ; they have to the

tegret that they did so to the injury of the
republic/ let us imitate them as a, a sure

means of preserving it. They have never
fuffcred petty bickerings or differences in
opinion among individuals to disturb theii
general order and movements • have the re
publicans done (>r yes ! and if they are not
watchful; this will be the rock on which
they will split, The anti-republicans have
used all manner of endeavours so make
profefyt,s; and Unfortunately they fucceed
but too well ; but they have alfb Used the
most improper means to obtain their object,
they have received the rhoft worthless civil
man with open arms, becaofe he might be
made a pliant and fit tool for political pur
poses ; they have not scrupled to injure any
one of oppulfte principles ffom their own,
and many an inductions and hohefl mechan
ic; and others dependent on the merchants,
have been forced to facrifice \beir political
birth-right add opinions, to preserve their
families from ruin : the republicans have
never a&ed thus, and we trust never Will.
It Was by thus blending some good and ma
ny bad meand together that our enemies
kept the reins of government so long in their
hands ; their movements were as regular
and progreflive as thole of a clock, all the
minor particles moved in the general fpbere,
a union of intcieffs preferred the works for
a long time complete ; every wheel, besides
moving oh its own axis, feefoed to give and
borrow ffrength from moving roundthe lar
ger ones ; the main spring of the fyfle'm,
(deception and falsehood) however, with
conflant ufe,no longer yeilded the aid re
quired,it eventually destroyed iifelf, proving
toder^nftratiofi that such means deferred,&
will always produce, such ends. Now that
republicanism has triumphed, let )s contin
ue to use our victory with moderation; and
let us eltablffh such a lyftem of general con
duct, but with more upright and just means
(as our intentions) than thufe of our oppo
nents, that may be perpetual ; the republi
cans have the principle, let them put it in
practice ; their opponents never had 1 good
one.

dating adertions of the anti-republicans, to
desert their principles, opened their eyes and
joinded the republicans ; many who had
long been accustomed to hear but one fide of
the queflion, now began to think the repub
licans better disposed than they had been
represented; and in reality joined them ; ma
ny othefs on the contrary, changed with the
gale to favor their purses, were republicans
by proftflion, and aristocrats in private; it
was to these changes, we were indebted in
some measure for our success irt out city e
kaioh ; the generous runner in which all
these were received by the republicans, does
honor to the hearts, but prudence dilates
we ffiould not go beyond ofir depth. vVe
must not count upon the votes of those who
have joined us since 1798, we fhotild only,
to be fafe, calculate upon those who
were then tried and were found firm ; how
do we hand then in point of numbers ? We
area majority, but we have nothing to
throw riway ; every finale vote is needed.
Ought we not then imitate o 0: opponents
in this infiance ; ought we not guard against
the most trifling divifiun among^ ourfelvesr
If we do not;a more terrific trite than wef
experienced in 1,98, will be out portion.
If it fhonld be laid, ' There is no fear,
we are Mnd alWay< will be triumphant," we
fay we hope so, but prudence and scenes
now anting before us, forbid us to confide ;
we muff not dumber left a deadly sleep o
ver power us ; if we are fecufe at this time,
union and vigilance are our only Shield and
buckler; and can alone eftdualtj ward oft
the blow. Let us inquire what our oppo
nents fay:
Speaking of trie negative of Gov. M'Kean
to the incompatibility bill, the jacobin pa
per printed irt Borton by Benjamin Russel,
fays : " ft is a pity, that the cause of the
constitution cannot be benefited by the fall
ing oft of these Sectaries." Here is an 0-
pen avowed that the ahti- republicans mean
to exert themselves in dividing the republi
cans ; is the danger over then ? certainly
not ; an inveterate foe, who boasts ofhav
ing all th^r energies well directed to over
throw, are laboring as ftrenoully as ever, if

not more so, to accomplish theft designs j
hitherto they have progressed step by liep,
before cautiously, now daringly ; they are
at prefect celibating the republicans with'
their own weapons ; they have dared to af
fufoe to themselves the name of republicans ;
they have the effrontery to denominate men
proscribed patriots, who have been aeteded
in purloining the property of the public.

REPORT
THAT the whole amount of revenue a
rising from those duties, exclusive of postage
on newspapers; as appears by the statements
laid before the house of the Secretary of the
Treafor,; irt the early stage of the session,
did not exceed for the year fßoo, 925,000
dollars , after deducing the amount of
drawbacks paid 6n the exportation < * do

an expellee of ^legion equal to 1 7,000
doUafs, exclusive of the expences of the of
fices of irfpe&or c , of survey, which have'
been abolished. The nett revenue atifing
from those duties may therefore, be ertimat
^d at 792, nondollar ;,but if from this sum
be dedu&ed the d^tfes accruing on stamps,
