lime is coming, and will not tarry,
when those powers will be put down
and their cause wholly loft ;t for the
God of truth had declared it, and
therefore it will mod assuredly take
place as soon as time and the divine
order of things will permit, which is
abundantly evident from scripture au
thority. He who is truth itfelf de
clared it ; and therefore great is truth,
and it thuft and will finally prevail,
under the fuperintehding providence
of God, and through the agency and
inftrumentalit, of the genuine sons
of civil and religious Freedom. +
When we compare past events with
the present, I believe it will appear
that there never was a time when the
irreconcilable enemies of the truth,
the a&ive friends and agents of the
powers of darkness, have been so
completely foiled, without a civil war
crr shedding of blood, as in the late
change of men and meafu<es in the U.
States of America. This I think
may be considered as a prelude and
pledge of the fulfilment of that pas
sage inihe revelation ofSt. John,
where he tells us that he 'faw an an,,
gel come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomless pit and a
great chain in his hand. And be laid
'hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the devil, and fatan, and
bound him a thousand years." —See
Revelations 20th, 1,2. This I think
is a striking evidence that heaven hath
reserved it for the people of the U.<
States to defend, eflablifh, and per
petuate, under a democratic republi.
can form of government, the civil and
religious rights of man. Siand to
your pods th-n, ye favorite sons of
freedom—be watchful— "be vigilant
be boneft and just in its defence, and
the enemies of your rights will fade a
way like the leaves ip autumn, or
• the morning dew before the riling

Os the SUGAR TAX.
Pinfold, Aug. 9. In consequence
^ fhz indiferiminate clamour excited
Ii ^federal opposition again ft. the
y,al of the Excises, it is supposed,
41 h to this day, by many misinform
,4jerfons, that the sugar tax repeal
r.i was the whole tax upon refined fu
; ^ ; whereas it was only the excise
1, n American refined lugars as their
in)nation, dill remains The excite
repealed was in fa& only a duty upon :
the refinery of loaf sugar in this coun
try. The effe& of the repeal is tQ
give our home made refined sugar an
advantage over imported white sugar.
And as a.general principle, it is ac" 4
knowledged to be good policy to ent,
courage our own manufactures, in pre
ference to foreign, or certainly not to
difeourage them by duties: For it re
tains our money in the country, to the
amount of the price of the manufac
ture, instead of fending it abroad, to
pay for the manufactures of other na'
tions. No good reason can be assign,
ed, why the American manufacture of
White Sugar fhnuld be bordered any more
than the American manuf&aure rs Shoe?,
glass, paper, mahogany work or any
other manufacture, especially of arti
cles of luxury. The motion to strike
out rtftied fugarand insert brown su
gar, which is included in the impost,
and not in the excise, was merely a
Tumbling block thrown in the way
by the opposition, co impede the re.
peal, or render it unpopular.
The Circuit Courts not abollfeed.
O The Federal editors have uniformly clam
oured agrinft every aft of the present admin
iftratfon—no fiogle mesfure, however benefi
cial to the country, has escaped their malig
nant censure. But in all their aberrations,
they have displayed their depravity and deUil
turion of principle,in nothing more than their
wilful mifreprefentationi relative to the Judi -;
ciary System—They have drefled their papers 1
in mourning, have reiterated the Violation ofj
the Constitution, and founded the Death ofl
the Judiciary ; difplsying the habiliments ofi
death, with a Monumtntal infaiptta, and repro,
fenting Justice and the violate Constitution ;
as the chief mourners, bearing the C&rpjg of.
the Judiciary System to the “ family vault of;
the Cdhftitution I" The federalifts treat ofl
the repeal of the late judiciary law, as an a& |
which entirely destroys the JUDI CIA RYI
of the United States : this they hesitate not to
declare positively—yet the tact is, and the
federalifts know it, that the Judiciary System
is only brought back to the ground on which
four beloved WASHIrotON left it^the S,f
tem is not impaired; the 'Qonftifntioo js not
violated—One pofrion, will decide thetyueft.
ion of Conftitutionslity 1 The aft fthiffi the
prefect adminiffrarion has repealed, did in re
ality, bafides adding 16 Judges, abolish fev,
ral of the then inferior atria courts ; —this
fate the 0 irfelf eftiblifhes :—lf therefore, a
federal congress had a conftitotional right to
pass that #a, a Republican congress had an e
qhal right to past cartb/r c—and if the a&
of the former congress which abolished those
courts was not constitutional, then Certainly
no man will deny that it eagbe to be repealed.
This destroys the obje&ion of unconstitution
al procedure alledged agaiuft the present con
gress in repealing an aS of the last. The plain
truth is, the aas of both congresses are con
stitutional ; and the difference is, that one
cosgrefs added 16 Inferior ~dgu, and the next
congress, finding the public interest did not
demand the service of these Judges, repealed
the #4 which created their offices.
The Reader should learn to mark the Con
stitutional diftinaions.-The Constitution re
cognize# and decrees a * Supreme Judicial
Court," and " such inferior Courts as %gre/s
may from time to time ordain and establish."
Now will any map, yea the bardirf and most
thorough ,deed federalift, pretend to fay that
the Supreme Judicial Court of the Union is
abolished ? Or, that Congress have not the
power to repeal theirown arts 1 The Su
preme Court is established by the Constitution
—is above the power of Congress ; and can
be abolifhsd only by a decree of the People :
—But the hffo Courts are the creatures of
Congress, in whole pow^r the Constitution
has placed them :— And to deny that the peo
ple have a right to alter or abolish the Consti
tution and Courts of their own forming ; or,
to contend that Congress has not a conftitn
tional right to repeal, alter and amend any of
the @of Congress—is, to contend th„ the
Creature is greater than the Creator /—which
is a principle that can never be admitted in a
free country —it is a principle which is
the very life fpriog of Monarchy—the BANE
of a Republic. [Amer. Rep. Gazette.
A- Os the Judiciary Sfflem.
By the amended Judiciary System,
the United States Are divided into fix
circuits; and each of the Judges of
the Supreme Court is aligned t<fone
of them. Judge Cushing is in the
Eaftem Circuit, confiding of New.

pra&icabilities described by Bayard
& Co. in Congress. Those numerous
objections were the creatures of oppo
fitiun, mere phantoms of party, which
vanish before the day-light of experi

laboured conftittitional objection is
done away, by a solemn judicial de.
cifion, in the similar case of a Court in

A JUDAS.
Bofloh, Aug. 19. When Tor,ifm
stoops so low as to exult at the apof
tacy of Callender from republicanism,
it proves beyond the testimony of a
thousand witnesses that the cause it
maintains is incapable of a generous
& manly support. A few yeafs since,
it is said, this very Callender arrived in
this country, as a persecuted patriot
from the Old World, not only with,
out 6 ' a second shirt to his back," but
I without a penny in his pocket. He
;had certainly some pretensions to me.
;rit as a writer, or our " firft chara&-
:ers" would not now give him their
I countenance, and calculate on his aid
tas an important acquisition to their
!expiring influence. But in their eyes,
%we are sensible, that Callender must
ihave some other charms. In fad he
lis the Judas of republicanism, and has
I attempted to betray the man who re.
I.lieved him in a moment when there
was not another man who would give
him a fhillin§ These alluring quali
fications have entitled this mendicant,
in the estimation (to the honor of the
country be it spoken) of but a final!
party, to all the consequence which
treachery will not fail to bestow in
their minds, on every deserter from
the interest of honor and justice.
Callender will now be their idol, the
very Dagon of ariflocracy ; and for a
week or more, the pious devotees of
royalty will make their pilgrimage to
his shrine, in the fond nope of some
new miracle being wrought in their
favor. But alas! whAt Hamilton and
Adams, what Porcupine and Liston,
have not been able to accomplish,
Callender will attempt in vain. Fed
eralism can have no new triumphs.
It can never again cheat the war-worn
soldier of his pay, by a fraudulent
system, which realized to the enemies
of the revolution, those certificates its
friends had earned. Federalism can
never again reanimate the hopes of
the miser, by opening a second time
the flood-gates of speculation and of
Dwindling, by a paper bank, the scrip
of which for a while was the only
commodity at market.
Under the administration of Presi
dent Jefferfon, the soldiers and sailors
' •more or lek," will be at least paid
the debt that is due to them. They
will not be permitted to perish in want
by a pretended friend, that others may
be enriched by the produ& of their
labours. Common sense will not^be
prostrated to a corrupt theory, which
facrificed the substance df justice to
its shadow—that those who had waft
ed their property in the service of
their country, by an ill contrived pro.
je& should be,lmoft the only persons
who were not to profit by the Ameri#
can revolution. The present admin#
iftration scorns to make its appeal to
the worst passions of the human heart.
It reposes itfelf on the common sense
and the common interest of the un
corrupted merchant farmer and man
ufa&urer—thefe classes unital 8-aoths
of the a&ual strength of the commu
aity, The well disposed individual#
whe compose them, feel that every
thing is right; and it is not the vent
quill of Callender, or a thousand like
him, that can persuade them to the
contrary, While this mifereant has
[been bale enough to giye an a& of
charity the appearance of a bribe,
what must we think of his credit ? H|<
has covered his own character with e
ternal infamy, that he might possibly
do a flight injury to that of his ac
knowledged patron! Chronicle.

Wofcefter, Aug. 18. Mr. Coleman

from " the ProfteEt; as convince us that
some parts of it were worth, of Callens

tin the Jtrongeft terms, our delegation of
the foul & infamous /landers with which
it is difcoloured. The vile and grovel
ing abuse of the character of Wafting
ton admits of no apology, and, with eve
ry American, can excite nothing but dis
gust, indignation, and abhorrence. The
I wretch deferred a pillory for his reward
I — Could we once be perfaded, b, une
; quivocal evidence, that Mr. Jefferfo n
\ hadfeen the whole of this , diluted Prof
,CTand afterwards extended his patro
nage to the infernal labors of the mifere
ant, the pen which has been devoted to
I his defence should dro, from our hands,
! and our lipsfhould be closed in everlafe
i^gflence !! Whatever Mr. Coleman
ma, think of our jituation and employ,
ment, we disdain to become the hireling
trumpeters of undeserved ,raise, or the
venal apologifafor a degrading turpi

'the influence of falfehood.
We repeirt it #g«i%—Give ut the evidence,
that Mr. Jifferbon read, and approved, til
«##4 of tbit date ftsbit work, that after feeing
the extent of " the Profpea" he rewarded the
rateal with a hundred dollars, or even a single
cent ; convince us of thefa fads, and our de
fence of the President and his charader is st
an end ! But how ftandsthe account ? We
have Callender's ward, that the /, veto# foots
were leui to Mr. Jefferfon. Admit it to be
true. What is meant by " tbtjpctaxfam
Dathi, include the «„hh work, or do the,
not necctfarily imply a part? Callender knew
too well the charter of Mr. Jefferfoo, to
dare, with all his brazen impudence, to intrude
on him, his blafphemons slanders agaiaft the
char,&sr of Washington, or a single Sentence
which Is included among the extras in the
Evening Post. The reptile knew, that instead
of drawing upon the bounty of Mr. & Jefferfon,
he would bring down wrath upon his bead, by
such in unhallowed offering, and would.be
spurned wiffi indignation from his presence.
He probably kept back,therefore,he nauseous
ebullitions of bis filthy temper, and presented
him with some Speculative remarks upon go
vernment, which he knew were adapted to his
political opinions. Tb,fe were probably the
jpeimra fam, which extorted a hondred do'-

the ungrateful vagabond ! The charaaer of
Mr. Jefferfon warrants this cooftruaipn. It
comports with the treacherous and deceitful>
Icharacter of Callender ; sad, until we save
some (longer evidence to the contrary, than
that which is now before the ' public, our faith
will remain firm and unftuken.
