Republican ledger, and Portsmouth price current — Portsmouth, N.H., 1803-03-08 00:00:00, page 3

The bill for incorporating a new bank in
the town of Bufton has paired in the Legisla
ture.
AN intelligent gentleman, who has lately
travelled through Conneaicut, assures us
that the Republicans in that State are united,
determined and spirited ; and, notwithstand
ing all federal impediments, it is generally
expected that they will eventually triumph.
That is the opinion of the well-informed of
both parties.
a Granger, a minor, fourteen days only an
inhabitant of the town, was accepted as a
vote, and the only question put, Do you
mean to become an inhabitant : and that
was his qualification—Were there not three
votes, thrown in by one hand, detected,tak
en out, and the fugle vote allowed ? -Will
the feds venture to lay the Repbulicans took
any unusual pains whatever, more than the
public prints of the day ? Will they deny
that vessels lately arriving and belonging to
federalifts, and vcffels ready to fail belong
ing to them, were detained till the sailors
had voted r Will they deny, if the votes
were fcrutenized, 40 persons or more were
unqualified r How is it, fay you, were they
permitted to vote---that is a collateral ques
tion, perhaps of importance too! but the
fact is so. Will it be denied that some
half-and-half Republicans were over pre
vailed upon to vote for Mr. Gilman, who
Voted before for Col. Langdon---men never
much depened upon any way. It they will
admit all this, and admit that the Jhi,,mg be
longing to the Republicans are moltly out,
and no arrivals belonging to them, I think
it demonstrated that the " pleaftng change" is
an impoftion, and that add to Col. Langdon,
or subtract from the federal votes.
You plainly leave Col. Langdon a commanding
majority, beyond any former period ; therefore,
unfortunately for the federal calculations, founded
in untruth and imposition. On this important
change, the federal print divides itfelf into three
grand heads of causes and effects—and in truly
Lilliputian ridiculoufneis, as if describing the rife
and fall of an Empire, inHead of the factious part
ot Portsmouth, introducing the characters of
Fabius M ximus, (not you Fabius Minimus) and
Coriolanus—and urge a cnange from Jentiment
by the abuse of free: al charafteis. This is untrue,
it is falfe, that men of integrity or of pure and
upright minds have been abused, or men who
adorn but disfigure the State and the town too,by
their lies—that is to fay, their lives and conduct,
that is by lying—l admit they are men of care and
pnnftualiry, thole qualities come very Short of
integrity ; but point out the instance where an
honefl man has been dragged forward by name, as
Mr. N, Folsom My name has been brought
forward —I have relented it in my own way, and
shall continue to do it. What is meant by the
political principles “ being marked ?" the motion
was ridiculous as to examining votes thrown in—
we know full well that one hundred votes perhaps
are thrown in by the labourers and others,
who would lose all federal employ if their votes
were known—otherwise nothing can be plainer
than that voting should be open to the Moderator
and free. What can be intinuated by the day
passing off without accidents ? 1 saw nothing that
can call up the idea—the federalifts were drawn
up in certain Hands, and in a body—and seemed
to be very bluflering and busy ; but the Republi
cans might have done the fame, if they had cliofen
it—there was 110 fort of occaiion tor it ; for my
own part, I walked in and voted, and came out,
and thought every body would do the fame—l had
nothing to do but to vote, I saw nothing but civil
ity 011 either fide—there are certain federalists, it
^'" ' k - : '" ar fond of—with tbote
exce^ious, God knows, I concern myfelf very
little how they think as Politicians. I have my
own Sentiments upon molt Subjects, which are
open to reason and conviction; but I must be free
to fay, the federalists Glow little political reaJon.
When I am wantonly abused, or any perlon else
whom I esteem, I fnall write or let it alone, as
convenient.
To return to Fabius—bow comes it you abuse a
connection of Mr. Gilman's, and yet recommend
him—there is fomethmg incontinent in it—l am
acquainted that Mr.G. has not the greatell regard
for you—l get at all'fort of information you fee ;
but what do you propose by putting your quellions
firft right, then wrong, or firlt wrong, then right—
then answer them yourlelf ; —would; it not be
more modefl to let the people of New-Hampshire
think for themselves, than to be dictated to by
you, or by your imported Patriots ; 1 would
answer your farrago of jumbles, if J could pick
out any thing from it. Your lull number was so
flat, I thought you would not have made so flat an
experiment as a third number ; particularly as
Lycurgus andPapmian really write so much better
than you, bad as poor Papinian's left exit was.—
I am quite tickled with your classical signatures,
and the figure you make at the bottom ct so much
rubbish —^ Fabius" —it is like kicking a brilliant
upon a furreverance, to fee how it would fhme,
Upon the whole you fink yonrfelf, when you begin
upoufaw men as Mr. N. Folsom, a gentleman
who \^ fr d cut his fingers vff that pens the abuje,
sooner than he would speak or write of you un
bandfomelv, much less make you out a “ thief."
As to Mr. Blasdell you mention, ask him how
he comes to carry the mail through Grafton coun
ty ? If he cannot tell you, I can '.—Mr.B. tan now
drop the Republican print, and give an Oracle this
•week, and be sure to bring the Ledger next week !
You fee 1 am in some of your federal secrets, snug
as you are.
Take my advice, “ Fahius," leave off abusing
honefl men, and leave off writing ;—if any body
abnfea you, as they do me, revenge yourfelf as I
do in my own u ay,—l am not an enemy to you—
on the contrary ; —I think a man a criminal that
indulges a passion so odious, without flagrant
reason;.

Fredertck-town, Feb. 18.
A gentleman in Fredeick-Town, has received a
letter from a friend at the city of Washington,
and has been so kind as to communicate to us the
contents, which will gratify every real friend to
the United States, and chagrin every violent
federalist—They are,
That the President of the United States had re- 1
ceived from Paris and communicated to Congress
a letter written by Mr. Livingflon, our minister
there, who Hates, that he had an interview with
the First Consul (Bonaparte) of France, on the
fubjett of his taking poffeflion of Louisiana, and
the Consul assured him, that although it was the
intention of the French government to take posses-
Hon of that province, yet the United States might
be assured that all due refpeft would be paid to
treaties relative to the navigation of the Miffifippi,
between them and Spain.
Boston, March 7.
On Friday lafl, the anniversary of the fourth
of March, 1801, a day ever dear to principle and
virtue by its placing at the head of the Executive
of the United States that firm and undeviating pa
triot THOMAS JEFFERSON, was celebrated by
the Republicans of Charleltown and its vicinity
with great animation.
The morn was ushered in by a difeharge of
seventeen cannon from the navy-yard, the ring
ing of bells, and a display of the American flag
from the heights of Bunker hill and various other
public places.
At two o'clock, P. M. agreeably to a previous
arrangement, a proceffiop was formed from the'
town-hall by an escort of the Artillery, under the
command of Capt.Carter,and the Republicans of
the Infantry Company, in lull uniform (preceded
by a band of mulic) in the following order :—
The President and Vice Prefidedt, —Rev. Mr.
Waterman, —Committee of Arrangements,—Se
lectmen, —Officers of the Navy,—Members of the
Legiflatnre,—Strangers—Citizens of Charleftown.
The procession moved towards the bridge, from
thence round the square and through the main
Greet to MaffachuJetts'-Hall, where a fpleudid(
entertainment was provided, at which order, har
mony an brotherly love may truly be said to have
prevailed-
The Hall was decorated with the portraits ofl
our beloved President Jefferson ; Washington, |
Hancock, S. Adams, Franklin, Warren, and Rich- 1
ard Devens, Esq. the inflexible supporters of
American liberty, with many emblematical insig
nia.
After dinner a number of appropriate an truly;
Republican toalls were drank.
—o-o —
The Day was observed in a similar manner by
the Citizens of Roxbury, Milton, Brookline and
Cambridge.
In the Evening of this auspicious Day, a number
of Young Gentlemen of this town, gave a Splendid
Ball, at Coufervatory-Hall; which was very
handsomely and emblematically decorated. The
Ladies wore the initials of President Jefferson,
in brilliants. About 9 o'clock, seventeen Rockets
were thrown at once, which had a very pleasing
effect.
