We expect, fays the Journal, that the

On Wednesday last the citizens of this
townaffembled to elect their Representatives
to the General Court. At the close of the
poll the following gentlemen were declared
to be chofcn. Harrison G. Otis, John Lo
wed, *lLilUam Smith, Samuel Parkman,
"Jonathan Hunnewell, kkhSum Broun, and
*°John Philips, Ejq'rs.
* New members.
The election has terminated as was ex
peßal, in favor of the federalifts, bya small
majority. But to fay thatthere is a greater
number of federalists in this town than there
isrepublicans, would be alferting what we
do not believe ; but are firmly of opinion
that if the republicas were to exert them
selves as their opponents do, they would al
ways leave them in th~ back ground.
As far as our information extends, as to
the other towns in this lfat,e it is highly fa
vorable to the repuclican interest, and it is
expected that there will be an addition of at
lead 15 or 20 republicans to their present
number, in the Houle of Representatives.
SALEM, MAY 12.
On Monday last was the election of
Reprcfcntatives in this Town. Ihe fol
lowing gentlemen were cbofen.
Joseph Sprague, Esq.
I John Hathorne, Esq. and
Jonathan Waldo, Esq.
We are already assured of nine Republican
Representatives in Eflex. Joseph Sprague,
Esq. John Hathorne, Elq. cf Salem ;
Jolnua Prentiss, Esq. Capt. Richard James^
Capt. John Prince, Capt. Nejhan B.
Martin, of Marblehead ; Thomas Kittridge,
Esq. of Andover; Francis Carr, Esq. of
Haverhill ; Jonathan Webster, of Salifbn-
The choice at Marblehead was without
opposition, and as the increase of federa^Jm
has been much boasted, we may ask whether
such important fads are to be found, to elta
blith the affention, as are acknowledged to
cxift in favor of Republicanism. Ihe in
dependent spirit of the inhabitants of Mar
blehead difplaved it felf at the commence
ment of our revolution, and the property
they possess, which belongs only to, aryl is
polfelKd only by, industry, will ina ^in
their love of liberty for generations.

The accounts of the declaration of War are
fill indirect The express, which is said to
bring it, as. we have seen it reported, fixes it
on the 25th of March, but does not declare by
whom the declaration was made. Our
French papersare as late as the 27th of March
from Paris,and no newshad reached Paris at
that time. The Paris papers had time to,
pass to Bourdeaux. The presumption of
War increased, but nothing is yet certain,
from the accounts as they lay before us.
We shall content ourselves at present with
this statement, that the greatest expectations
of war had arisen from the mcafures of the
British Court, and from the hollile prepara
tions ot the British nation. Sal. Reg.
While rhe talents ot Mr. Gallatin are the
envy of Europe, a party in America is em
ploying every mean artrfice to degrade them
in the country where they are uktul. Mr.
Jeffeifun is insulted as a Philosopher, where
no Philosophers exitt, but his reputation is
high where Philofphy is known. And Mr.
Gallatian is abused by thole who cannot read
his communications. We remember Dr.
Franklin was treated in the fame manner,
while the revolution was accomplishing in
this country,& we heard often ot thePrin cr's
buy, in him to whom time, and the judge
ment of polkriiy, have given greatnels, and
a name for immortality. ib.
This was an amicable action, on a feign
ed issue, totry the question, whether a duty
was payable on sugar, refined within the
United States before the goth June, 1802,
but, not removed from the manufactory till
after that day.
The argument was conducted, for the
United States, by Mr. Dallas, on the Gen
eral ground, that the repeal of the internal
taxes, did not affect any duty, which had
accrued and was otrftanding, on the goth of
Jone, 1802, that the duty on sugar accrued
as loon as it was refined ; but that it mull
remain outstanding, until it was removed
from the manufactory, in complying with
the pre-exilting arrangements for accom
modating the refiners, in the time and terms
of payment. The duty, under such circum-
Itances, was to be considered as debitum in
prafenti, folvendum in future.
Ihe argument for the refiners proceeded
upon the general ground that the law contem
plated the concurrence ot two contingencies
before the duty could be laid to accrue viz.
the adt of refining and also the act ot rcm<>
val ; & that unlels the duty had so accru
ed it could not be described as outstand
ing, so as to be embraced by the tcimsot the
proviso in the repealing a&.
