A SPECIMEN,
Of the 44 good, wholesome politics,”
promised in last Friday’s, and publish
ed in yesterday’s Repertory, under the
significant title of4* New Plots.”
44 These (the terms of the arrange
ment,) being contrary to MrErskine’s
instructions and deemed incompati
ble with the great interests of the Bri
tish nation, the government declined
ratifying them j but sent a minister
with full powers to ascertain the prin
ciples on which our cabinet would ne
gotiate and to complete a 'treaty* The
event is well known. Could the Bri
tish government take another step,
consistent with honor, or with any
prospect of success ? They avoided
an occasion of receiving new indigni
ties, and this is worked up into an of
lcnce, that the people may be prepared
ior a rejection of any arrangement that
Mr Pinkney may have the good for.,
tune to effect.”
COMMENT.
It will be kept in perpetual remem
, brance—That after Mr Erkine’s ar
rangement, its substance and manner
met the unanimous approbation of the
federalists throughout the Union_
The very terms said they, with which
England has always been ready to
/ ammply, but which Mr Jefferson, from
I Ms hostility to her, rejected.

\ea at nt, Jame ’s——Anglo-federalism,
whiob had for some time lost its key
note, took the pitch anew, and the
whole choir soon followed their lead
ers. and sang to the tune of British
ministry. The * Messengers of Peace,’ j
plumed with the honors ofhls embas
sy to C-openhaprp, declared that ih«
flagitious and in-ubing orders in coun
cil, fannulled bv-Mr E’s arrangement
were a great system ol national policy;
adopted by Britain, which she would
not abandon, and that his powers ex
tended only to the.hearing and receiv
ing of such propositions as our govern
ment saw fir to make as an equivalsn
for ;he modification of these orders
as the re-purc! ase of cur tight*
and nationl s ivereignty, thus au'aei
ou: Iv a sumed by his cabinet. Through
thi* n» w organ, were distinctly htard
tlie bellowings of the British lion, anti,
the roarings of the young whelp* for
lack of prey—the discordant sounds
were increased by the veil of the whole
B ritish faction in America, and receiv
ed no litfle 3U p/rt from the pack of
N. England spaniels, who were taught
to follow their more sagacious leaders '
in the chase, and swell, by their under
etbo, the cissonant chorus to J**#
concert.

Tromthe Trenton True American.
If anv candid man ever doubted of
the devotion of the federal printers to
the interest:) and honor of Great Bri
tain, in preference even to those of A
mcrica his doubts must be removed
by their recent conduct.
When Mr Pinkney first represented j
to the British Court the conduct and J
the treatment of Mr Jackson here, |
Lord Wellesley, the organ of that |
court, expressed his disapprobation of
Jackson’s conduct, and promised that
he should be immediately recalled, and
succeeded by a Minister of rank and
character. This fact was communica*
ted to our Secretary of State in a pri
vate letter of the date of the 4th Janu- '
arv, from Mr Pinkney; and is coq- ,
firmed by his official letter of the 21s;
March, wherein ufter mentioning his |
interview with Lord Wellesley in
wvJBcli he explained to him fully the
grounds upon which he was instruct* i
ed to request Jackson’s immediate r*
cai, ho r. tvs. Lord Wellesley’s reccp
tion of what I said was frank and friend
lv ; & I left birr w.th *• a persuasion
tnat we should have no cause to be
dissatisfied with the final course of
his government on the subject of our
ccnleTcncc”—*whi-h persuasion could I
/ Q<1
Daly have arisen from a promise or
Lord Wellesley that Jackson should
he immediately recalled, b cause with,
any other course Mr Pinkney knew
his government would have cause to be
dissatisfied.
This authentic information, was
:orroboratcd bv the intelligence from
England at. that period, thro* the pa
pers, by Ltters, verb-il communication*
Sic. Some of which went so far as to
point out the personage, ^Lord Au k.
land) who was tp supercede Mr Jack
son ly;re ; and the whole leaving no
doubtebat the British Ministry, either
[ronrf’inotives of fear or interest, were
at tlW moment disposed to pursue a
conciliatory course towards this coun
ty
Meantime, however, that Ministry
received the information that the whole
federal party in this country upheld
the conduct of Jackson, and cast all
the blame of the rupture on their own
Government. This lact, so disgrace
ful to that partv, and so detrimental to
this country, was manifested by their
speeches in Congress, by their Reso
lutions in Legislatures where they had
the ascendancy, by their news-paper
essays, their orations, addresses, 8tc
all tending to establish the falsehood
that Mr Jackson was in the right and
dot Government in the wrong. This
emboldened the British Govcrnnv. n.
to tamper a little longer with ourpati
eoce, and encouraged them to take a
a different course from that which they
had promised, and many anting us
had expected. Lord Wellesley’s tone
is coApWtely changed; and instead ot
aui h^ri°5 no cause to be dissatisfied
with fie conduct of his government,
there is nothing said or done to give
us the least satisfaction.
But the federal printers,rather than
the character of tlie British Govern
ment should suitor, would sacrifice the
reputatiou of our own Government.
They deny that Lord Wellesley pro
mised to recal Jackson, and to send
another Minister in his place—and
charge our Govern uent with having
imbricated the account of th* se pro
mise.-* to impose upon pubhc creduliry
and influence pending elections. They
cannot believe that » foreign G *veru
ment, notorious thro* the world for its
Contempt of its engag-meats and vio
lations of good faith, would be gudty
of the i icon-istency vnd infit|rllit,
vvitj>vhich it stands charged on un
quAtionable testimony; butth'y can
e k!^ believe, without any evidence,
that our G vemment, which has been
Hcmpidnu y exact in p.rforr*’ing its
bbligmi ins to oth r powers, and in ad
heriug to truth m its intercourse with
them, has be n guilty of forgery and
duplici‘v. They resent the slight
est imputation upon he British Go
vernm nr, while they heap the fctilvst
accu-ations upon ■ ur own. Every ac
of the former they either justify cr
pall ate—every measure of the latter
they condemn or ridicule. The one,
they would persuade us can do nothing
wrong—the oth r nothing right. '
Those of our readers who do not
look into federal papers, can hardly
conceive that so much baseness and
turpitude exists in any set of men, as
is displayed Uy the editor# of those
p iper* in ev-ry question which arises
br ween the Governments of Great
Britain and Ameri. a. They can hard
ly imagine the degree of attachment to
t* e loruiet, and ol hostility to the lat
ter, which their columns continually
display. Arnold h mseif after desert

What wonder that the British Go

when it secs more than one half the
presses in this country prostituted to
publications like tbesc^—and sees also
these presses patronized by a party
claiming all the 44 wealth and talents”

But the Being oi Love who tempers the

His misfortunes, his woes,could you hear

To t claim him from ill, or some bliss to

You d long to be lame^ deaf and blind.

When battles fell trumpets so frequently

And blood marks our annnls with shame,
iYhcn abroad, war and murder are ragin^

At home he’s content to be lame.

To the ills of his life was resigned;
And in death he exclaimed, as ne sunk in
