part, had unfolded Once the era of in
dependence. The honest exercise of
an independent and well informed
judgment, always leads to truth ; and
it has been the fortunate lot of our
weftern brethren never to disregard
or disobey it. The weftern Rates al
ways have been republican.
At firft they rose with little to ate
trad admiration or inspire her. But
? a few fugitive years have carried them
to wealth and avast population.
l lt is to these ftaies that we owe much
of our political happiness. It is to
their increasing strength that we shall
be indebted for more security than we
even now enjoy. The new census
has given them their legitimate politi.
cal weight. Had this weight been
felt in the Presidential election pre
ceding the last, Mr. Adams bad nev
er been President, we should have
bad no alien or tediuon laws, no
political courts to put down, no im
mense Handing armies to reduce, no
extravagant loans to redeem.

of republican liberty, building all my
hopes of happiness on its firm exig

it derives its great fopport from the

Washington, OQ. 13.
WE understand that letters have
been received in this country
from Algiers, as late as the 7th of
July ; which furnilh the follow
ing information :
The Dey of Algiers has de
manded of the American Consul
to direst the United States frigate
the George Washington, to
be brought to Algiers, for the
purpose of being sent by the Dey
to Constantinople, to transport a
quantity of spars and other arti
cles. The Consul remonstrated,
but in vain. The Dey directed
him to write immediately, and
obtain an aniwer as loon as pos
sible.
On the evening, however, of
the fame day, the Dey informed
the Consul, that considering the
great distance of the United S. he
had determined to call upon the
Consuls of nearer nations. Such
demand is stated to have been
made ofthe Spanish and Danish
Consuls.,
On the 26th June, a Tripolit
an corsair, with the American
brig Franklin as a prize, arrived
t Algiers. The claim of the
• oniul for a restoration of the
Xeffel and crew, had not on the
-rhos July succeeded. 1
On the 16th of June, 3 Ships
fthe line and 2 frigates of Spain 1
threatened a blockade of Algiers,<
and demanded all captured Span
ish vessels. The Dey threatened
war against Spain, which was
only averted on the following
terms : The payment, in money
and presents, to the amount of
132,000 dollars 3 a renunciation
by Spain of her claim to captur
ed veftls and cargoes ; and a de
parture of the Spanish fleet.
On the 22d of June, in an in
terview with the British Consul
and Sir Robert Bariow, the
Dey demanded a change of the
British passports, and a compli
ance with his old claim of 187,000
dollars ; and declared if these
terms were not complied with in
five months, he would make war
against England.^
On the 30th of June, the Dey
demanded of Thanville, the
French agent, sums, alledged to
be due, or promised, amounting
to 500,000 dollars, and threat
ened war against France, if not
complied with in 40 days.
It is further, stated, that Aty
giers and Tunis are on the Verge!
of a war.

Thb astonishing revival of Re^
publican principles, manifefted
in all the late elections, as well in
New-England as in the Southern
States, clearly demonstrate, that
the calumnies, which some Fed
eral presses have fQgroffly vom
ited forth against Mr. Jefferson,
have produced effects directly
contrary to the intentions of his
enemies—in short the People
knowing them to be lie^ have de

USEFUL DISCOVERY.
/r Georgetown, Sept. 23. *
The following article is copied from a
^paper printed at fonejborough in the
State of Tenneffe; °
: Several perlons lately from
Kentuckey agree in a report that
Mr. Langford, living near the
Crab Orchard, digging for @t in
a sand bar of Goose Creek, four
feet from the furface, ditcovered
a well, handlomely walled with
stone, which after being cleared
Wal found to contain salt water
id abundance, inasmuch they
ihow make ten bushels of fait per
day.
Since the above a gentleman
just arrived informs us that he
learned in converlation with Mr.
Langford, that a bank ofafhes
four feet through was difeovered
near the well, in moving which
several fragments of earthen
ware, and a skeleton of a man
was found, which induced a be
lief or rather strengthen it in some
that this country has at a period
past been inhabited by a civilized
people.'

From a Baltimore paper. ^^
Federal Misrepresentation deteded.
Messrs. Yundt & Brown,
I have seen in your paper of the
23d inst a paragraph in which
it is said that in the summer of
1801, a person by the namers
Nichols was introduced into the
treasury, as attorney for that de
partment, with a salary of 1000
; dollars a year, upon my fecorti
mendation. In answer to this,
1 beg leave to state, that Mr,
jNichols was never recommend
ed by me for office or employment of
any kind; nor have 1 ever understood
that he was employed in the treasury
department as an attorney, or in any
other capacity than that of a clerk,
with the usual amount of salary.
JOSEPH H. NICHOLSON.
- Boflon, Oft. 25. In the Centinel of
June 30th, 1784, we find the follow,
ing very short but just description of
our beloved President, who was then
in this town to take his passage for
Europe, in a ship belonging to the
late Nathaniel Tracy, Esq. command
ed by Capt. St. Barbe, of Newbury,
port. It is known there was but one
female* in the ship, and that was his
amiable and accomplished daughter.
Mr. Alexander Moore, an Eoglifh.
man, and Mr. Tracy, were passengers
with him. It is unnecessary to add
that his correQ and unaffeded deport,
went secured him the esteem and af#
fedion of every person on board, and
that Gapt. St. Barbe, never mentions
the name of Mr. Jefferfon but with
every expression of esteem and admi
ration for his condu& & chara&er.
Thou hypocrite, thou who say est he is
a fornicator, art thou not an adulterer ?
66 On Friday last the Hon. Thomas
Jefferfon, Esq. I^te Governor of Vir.
I ginia, arrived here by land from that
State. He is shortly to Embark for
Europe, as a Minister Plenipotentiary
from the United States, in the room
of the Hon. John Jay, Esq. who is a.
bout to return, to America.—Gover
nor Jefferfon, who has so eminently
distinguished himfelf in the late glo.
rious revolution, is a gentleman of a
very amiable chara&er, to which he
has joined the most extensive knowl.
edge. He is a mathematician and
philosopher, as well as a civilian and
politician, and the memorable decla
ration of American Independence is
said to have been written by him."
''The Congress of the United States
have difeharged all the troops belong,
ing to the standing army,except about
50 men, who are to form two small
garrisons at Weft Poinq& Fort Pitt."
• Callender and the federal papers said that
both Mr. Jeffetfon's daughters and his black
wench Sally wen' with him 'o Europe.
We recommend to the particular
attention of our readers, the "VIEW
ofthe STRENGTH of PARTIES"
in the second page of this paper. It
shows the ftretigth of Republicanism.
In the Southern States, Republi
canism has triumphed, in the elections -
which are just palled, with unprece.
dented ftrength—ln Pennsylvania the
success of the republican ticket stands
without a parallel. In four counties,
which we have seen, M Kean, the re
publican candidateffor governor, has
10,628 votes, and Ross, the anti-re
publican, only 1789.
Republicanism Hands on elevated
and firm ground : New England, with
all her fteadyshabit toryifm, her hy
pocrisy, and her 66 virtue and talents"
flummery, cannot turn the scale, her
opposition cannot affed the decision
of the general question in the Union;
cannot prevent the re election of jef
ferfon at the next election.
This, whilst it must irritate our N.
Hampshire federalifts, will give con^
folation to the Friends pf a Republi
can Adminift ration, though they may
Hill find themselves in a minority.
