ABUSE OF THE PRESIDENT.
IT is presumed all the abuse, written and said against Mr. Jefferson, is not so much with a view to correct vicious practices, and reform alleged moral depravity, as, by bringing him into disrepute, thereby deprive him of a seat at the next presidential election. It is a little singular that that gentleman, who has filed for so long a time, to many important offices in the State—who has been loved by his acquaintance for his suavity of manners and friendliness of disposition—who has been for thirty years in various capacities, the repository of his country's confidence, grounded on a conviction of his attachment to her interest—who has been the pride of America, and the admiration of Europe—we say it is remarkable that in the course of a single twelve month he should be declared the veriest miscreant in the land over which he has been called to preside.
Till lately, Mr. Jefferson has always been reputed, not only a very learned scholar and able politician, but also a very exemplary and moral man. He is, perhaps, better known as a politician and philosopher in Europe, than any other person to whom this country has given birth—if it be any praise, so he has lately been spoken of by one of the cabinet in England. When he was sent as our minister to the court of Versailles, the little story of a groveling party spirit, did not preclude over the appointment. When he was nominated by Congress one of a committee to draft the Declaration of Independence, he was not thought by them a timid wavering character; when by that committee itself he was named as the fittest among them, to pen the instrument, he was not suspected of hostility to the nation; and, when that State paper actually made its appearance in the world, its purity of thought and imbecility of expression were not deemed (on either side of the water) its most characteristic features. When he was selected from among his fellow-citizens by the illustrious Washington, to stand at his right hand to give him council, and fill the post, next to his own the most responsible and difficult in government, he was not considered a goatherd destitute of merit. When he was elected to preside over wisdom itself, and was not supposed unworthy to succeed the immortal FRANKLIN & amiable RUTLEDGE, in the first honors in the gift of the most learned body in America, there was displayed a just tribute of respect to towering genius and modest worth: But, above all, when called in the course of events and process of time, by the unbiased voice of the people, to preside, not over a little corporation, or learned society, but a great and growing empire of independent citizens, there is afforded such a splendid example of merit rewarded as gives the lie to the ancient reproach of "REPUBLICAN INGRATITUDE."
When there is a want of respect, in a foreign government, to the person of a minister who represents at its court, the sovereignty of the nation from which he goes—it is always a good reason for his immediate recall; and sometimes has been holden a just ground for war—but what will other nations think of the United States, when they see, not a minister, the errature of government merely, treated in a foreign clime with, perhaps, constructive neglect—but the Chief Magistrate, the very head of the government itself, slandered and abused by an ill-bred and unprincipled minority, whilst ruling the people of his native land! It may in some measure, save the reputation of the country for moderation: But the least that ought to be calculated upon, both at home and abroad would be, that the arms which more than one half of the nation were threatened three years ago, to be driven "within the enemies' lines," should now be turned on the persecuting vaun- [Baltimore American.]
WASHINGTON & JEFFERSON.
From the declarations of Federalists, persons not well acquainted with the political state of our country, might be induced to believe that the existence of the government depended on them—that they are the exclusive friends of law and order—and that General Washington was one of the leading characters in opposition to republicans, and promoter of their views. Let us examine this subject.—Let us ask, from what part of the life of Gen. Washington can it be said he was opposed to republicanism?—Was it in the nomination of Mr. Monroe as ambassador to France?—Was it in the appointment of Mr. Jefferson as secretary of State?—In his ardor in the cause of the French republic?—Or in his respect for the militia, and his enmity to the public debt?—Can federalists say that in those things, they supported the Washington system, or that republicans were opposed to it?—In what instance, therefore, excepting in the British treaty, was not Washington supported by the whigs of 1776, and the republicans of the present time? And yet the committee of Mercer's dare to say, that the republicans were inimical to Washington and his system. The people must discover that the sacred name of Washington, has been

made use of by the profane pen of these committees, to deceive the people, and to promote factious purposes. They must believe, that such a use, bringing the name of our late illustrious chief, into an electioneering hand-bill, can have no great respect either for his memory or his principles—but are anxious to make use of it as a spell, whereby they may induce many to believe, as Porcupine did before them, that Washington was a federalist, and opposed to the principles of republicanism. As republicans, and admirers of the virtues and services, we feel contempt at those who would deceive the people, by disturbing his ashes, to promote the base views, and unworthy designs of an intriguing faction.—[Tree of Lib.]
Regular Government is now perfectly understood—where facts in parliament are sold out like rials in a market, and which Horne Tooke had the honesty to declare to the Parliament itself, we cannot be at a loss to understand what it meant by regular government—The king of England's pay is exactly 600 dollars an hour—this is very regular. This same officer has the disposition of 56,000 places or offices under all departments of his government! Some of them yielding from ten to fifty thousand pounds a year—yet with all the income of the regal magistrate, his civil list was in arrear to the amount of 4,644,534 dollars on the 20th of March last according to an official report of the House of Commons—this is regular government, and Alexander Hamilton's paper says we must never appreciate a government by its form but by its operation or effect; these are some specimens of its operation; Colquhoun , a ministerial magistrate of London, has told us some of its further operations and effects—for example he says that in London only
There are about 2500 persons committed for trial in one year.
Annual depredations amount to £2,100,000.
Amount of coins counterfeited £2,000,000 per annum.
About 3000 receivers of stolen goods.
About 10,000 servants at all times out of place.
20,000 persons rise every morning without knowing how they shall subsist through the day.
This is operation and effect—and what other effect can be expected? When one man receives 600 dollars an hour for doing nothing, or worse—his hour's pay would feed and clothe an honest man in America for a year. Is it not surprising that our Dennies , and our Ruffs , and our Dutons , and Colemans , do not remove out of this shabby country, where there are so few robbers by law, & against it? [Aurora.]

GENOA, August 12. OF THE ALGERINES.
We have just received a note of the depredations which the Dey of the Regency of Algiers has been exercising for six months upon the different powers of Europe.
It is useful to publish it; and in reading it, we shall be less astonished at the extreme rapacity than at the audacity of this barbarian, who seems to think himself the sovereign of the universe, because he treats all the other Governments as if they were his tributaries.
This note is followed by that of the contributions which he intends to impose upon Africa: They relate to the Princes, who are of the same religion, and prove, that there is nothing sacred to this brigand. We may rely upon the accuracy of these details.
Hand, Sweden, and Denmark, have made their triennial presents, the value of which is fixed at 19,500 piastres. But by the chicanery which the agents have experienced, these presents have increased for each of these powers to a sum of about 25,000. Spain had sent three sail of the line and two frigates to claim three confiscated vessels. The Dey was offended at this measure, and Spain, to avoid a war, paid the sum of piastres 240,000. This sum includes the value of the three ships given up. A frigate perfectly equipped is to be sent to Constantinople by Spain with warlike ammunition.
The Dey claims of the English for several cargoes confiscated by the Court of Admiralty, the sum of 18,000 piastres, and has signified that if it be not paid in four months, he will declare war. He demands of France presents to the amount of 155,000 piastres.
The Dey requires from the Swedish agents, fresh presents to the amount of 50,000 piastres.
He lately sent for the Danish agents, and demanded 100,000 piastres, in four months, besides a vessel valued at 12,000.
The capture of the Portuguese frigate has thrown 312 men into slavery. The Dey has advanced the most exaggerated pretensions. He demands 200,000 piastres for the ransom of a single individual, the son of the Portuguese Admiral. Supposing that the Court of Lisbon obtains the 312 at 2000 piastres each (which we are far from believing) the Regency will obtain 624,000 piastres. To this we must add the amount of presents, and the value of the frigate, 70,000.
We must add also the value of seven ships taken by the corsairs, and 75 Genoese, Neapolitan, and other slaves, 307,000 piastres.
The total of the exactions from Europe is 1,818,500 piastres. In Africa, he has demanded besides the usual presents from the Beys of Tripoli, Constantine, and Mascara, 300,000 piastres, and 10,000 in private exactions.
He has ordered the Bey of Constantine to march, with all his troops against Tunis. He has exacted from the Bey of that Regency, a sum amounting nearly to 700,000 piastres. Total in Africa, 1,100,000. The grand total is 2,918,500 piastres.
[Note. A piastre is a piece of Eight, and worth 80 cents federal money.]
Captain M'Neil, of the brig Eliza and Mary has furnished us with a regular file of Paris papers to the 6th of September, of which we have availed ourselves in the succeeding translations.
Captain M. informs us that THOMAS PAINE failed from Havre about the first of Sept. in the London Planter, for Baltimore; that a French fleet was fitting out at Brest on a secret expedition; and that reports were in circulation at Havre of the death of Gen. LA FAYETTE, the commander of the brave army which co-operated with ours in the glorious and successful struggle for American Independence. New-York Pap.
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser, from Paris Papers to the 6th September.
PARIS, Sept. 6. According to reports brought by some vessels arrived at Leghorn the latter end of August, the French squadron, sent to Tunis to demand satisfaction of the regency for the insult offered to a captain of a French vessel, and to the commerce of France in general, has summoned the Dey, in the name of the First Consul, to pay as an actual indemnity the sum of 200 thousand Colonnavi , and in future an annual contribution of 60 thousand Colonnavi ; in case of refusal, the French Government threaten the Dey to declare war against him without delay. Other French men of war, dispatched to Algiers, were to make summons equally menacing; amongst others, that of instantly setting free all the slaves of whatever nation, now to be found in the Algerine territory.—Should the Dey refuse to adhere to these conditions, the ships of war have orders to blockade the port.
BERMUDA, Sept. 11. A number of American vessels have been lately wrecked on the Caicos Banks, the crews of several of which must inevitably have perished, had not the wreckers saved them.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 27.
Information received from Algiers as late as the 16th of Aug. states, that on the 5th of that month two French 74's, a corvette, and brig of war, under the command of a rear admiral, arrived at Algiers, having on board Gen. Hulen, a French agent. On the next day the agent demanded a renunciation of all pecuniary claims on the French, an admission of the Italian Republic to a free navigation, the severe punishment of two Algerine captains who had ill treated two French captains, by throwing overboard national dispatches, & flogging a French captain at Tunis.
He further demanded the restoration of three Neapolitan vessels, with their cargoes and crews, captured by Algerine corsairs, on the coast of France;—and declared that France would not give a Mediterranean passport to any national vessel whatever.
In all these demands the Dey reluctantly acquiesced. Eight corsairs were under weigh when the French hove in sight, but immediately thereafter returned, and did not sail until the 14th of August.
On the 11th of August a French vessel of war arrived from Paris, after a passage of 12 days, bringing an aid-du-camp of Bonaparte, with letters to the Dey, informing him that he would double his vengeance on the regency in case of any further irritation, and would erase Algiers from the list of piratical nations.
The two Algerine captains have been put in prison and have been severely punished; and it is said, that they would have lost their heads but for the interposition of the French agent.
The French are to have Lesalle , which they mean to fortify, and are to enjoy the commercial privileges specified in the treaty made in December last; it is further stated that they demand a fortified factory at Bona.
On the 15th of August, the French agent failed, in an armed brig, for Marseilles. The next day was fixed for the departure of the admiral and his fleet, for Tunis.
No English agent or naval force had appeared at Algiers—Spain had acquiesced in her previous arrangements.
It was apprehended at Algiers that the Dey, in order to recover his popularity, which had been much shaken by his submission to the French, would seek a rupture with either the Danes, Swedes, Dutch or Americans.
A letter from Malaga, dated August 10, states commodore Morris, with the frigate Adams, and the schooner Enterprise, to be at Gibraltar waiting the issue of Mr. Simpson's negotiation at Tunis. Admiral De Winter, with three sail of the line, and some small vessels, proceeded from Malaga on the 9th August for Algiers, to accommodate the differences between the Batavian government and the Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The Swedish frigates still continued to grant convoy to the Americans.
NEWARK, (N. J.) Oct. 19.
It is a ground of much rejoicing, not only to our political friends, but also to the judicious and upright part of the community of whatever name they may bear, that our full elections all around us, exhibit that strong attachment for liberty, which was the primeval cause of our separation from the mother country. The vulgar attack of the tory editors upon the executive and the republicans generally, had inspired their friends with a sanguine hope, that this year should democracy be humbled. But in this they are disappointed. The mischievous darts which have been hurled with satan-like malignity against our best men, fall harmless at their feet; and their integrity and virtue, presents a shield which "mocks the drawn dagger, and defies its point."
NEW-YORK, Oct. 18. On Saturday evening Mr. William Robbins, formerly printer of the Daily Advertiser, committed suicide, by taking laudanum. This act
of desperation is attributed to the indigent state of his circumstances. He has left a wife and six children. His remains were interred in Potter's field, yesterday morning.
PROVIDENCE, November 2.
The General Assembly of the State met in this town last week, and made choice of CONSTANT TABER Esq. Speaker, and JOHN L. BOSS, jun. Clerk of the House. Much time of the House was taken up in trying contested elections.
The Assembly voted a 25,000 dollar tax to be assessed on or before the 15th of Dec't next. They made choice of JASON NEWELL, Esq. of Cumberland, as 4th Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Providence County, vice ARNOLD PAINE, Esq. deceased.
The Hon. SAMUEL J. POTTER, Esq. the present Lieutenant Governor, a firm Republican, was chosen, without opposition, a Senator from this State in the Congress of the United States after the 3d of March next, vice the Hon. THEODORE FOSTER, who declined a nomination.
During the session of the General Assembly, a Committee was appointed to count the votes for Representative to the 8th Congress. They reported the number to be for
 Stanton, 2604  Knight, 2598  Potter, 1633  Tillinghast, 1636 
Consequently Gen. Joseph Stanton was elected by a majority of 971 votes, and Nehemiah Knight, Esq. by a majority of 962. Thus Republicanism has triumphed by 971 majority.
On Saturday, the Assembly adjourned to the 4th Monday in February next, then to meet at Bristol.
A writer in the Newport Mercury, has charged the Hon. Christopher Ellery, with being the author of the charge against the Hon. John Rutledge, member of Congress from South-Carolina, wherein he is said to have forged letters signed Nicholas Gessoy, to the President of the United States. Every candid person must reasonably suppose that if Mr. Rutledge is innocent, he would immediately take legal methods, to bring the author of the charge against him to justice, and thus divest himself of so base, wicked, and scandalous, an imputation, as that of forgery, and perjury. If in a course of law, it should appear that Mr. Rutledge, is innocent all the defences of the charge would reverberate upon the author, with the execrations of all mankind. If Mr. Rutledge's friends, advise him to stand aloof, and he dares not enter into a legal investigation as to the evidence and charge against him; have not all mankind reasonable grounds, to entertain the most violent presumptions that Mr. Rutledge is guilty. Mr. Rutledge, is (in the Rhode Island Republican) unequivocally charged with being the author of the Letters, and guilty of perjury. If then he is innocent, why should he be afraid to meet the evidence of his opponents in the Circuit Court of the United States, when the Judges and Marshall are of the federal sect, and consequently of his political sentiments. If he dare not try this expedient, is it not reasonable to presume that he is guilty? That if he uses legal means he fears his name will appear on the records of the federal Court, sanctioning his guilt. Forgery, and perjury, indeed would be base crimes to appear on record. Mr. Rutledge ought to know that all the low scandal poured forth by his pettifoggers, only injures his cause. If they write to eternity they cannot exculpate Rutledge, unless they write truth, supported by evidence, which they have failed to do as yet. Nothing short of a law investigation will exculpate him. Seven eighths of the people, after seeing the evidence they have seen, hesitate not a moment to declare that the evidence is against him. It has become indispensably necessary for Mr. Rutledge to meet his opponents in a Court of Law, in order to save his shattered character from lasting infamy, if he is innocent. [Phoenix.]
That pink of elegance—Mr. John Rutledge, appears to have worked his way into ROTORITRY—at Newport, Rhode-Island.—Whether his recent exploits, were intended to display his ingenuity, or to show the despicable lengths to which he was capable of going—is not yet determined: It is to be presumed, for the honor of South Carolina, that it was not intended as a recommendation of him to his fellow-citizens of that State. Aurora.
The trial of David Forrester, alias Williams, one of the mutineers of the Hermoine frigate, commenced on Tuesday morning on board of His Majesty's ship Gladiator at Portsmouth, and lasted three hours, when it was fully proved he was the man who murdered Captain Pigot, and threw his body overboard, and otherwise aided and assisted in the mutiny. He was sentenced to be hung on board any one ship the lords commissioners of the admiralty may please to direct. He made no defence. London Pap.
N. B. Was it not also proved that Jonathan Robbins was the identical man who murdered Captain Pigot and threw his body overboard—and was not his body hanged on a higher gibbet than any other at Jamaica on that account? A.
It seems that Jonathan Nash, the real murderer of the Captain of the Hermoine Frigate is yet alive, though he has been hung in a native American citizen, Jonathan Robbins, in the West Indies—and since then has been hung in another man in England.—How pleasantly Col. Pickering must feel when he remembers, that by his advice an innocent American was given up to the rage of British marshal law; and in consequence was only hung in chains!!! S. Reg.
General Massena is among the richest individuals of Europe. He has, it is said, at least 60,000 sterling per annum.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY ARTHUR FENNER, ESQUIRE, Governor, Captain General, and Commander in Chief of the State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations.
A PROCLAMATION.

NEWPORT, Saturday, November 6, 1802.
COMMUNICATIONS.
WHEN "Rutledge's Letters" were presented to the public in the Rhode Island Republican, John Rutledge, member of Congress, was in Newport. It would have been ungenerous, in the extreme, to have published the letters in South Carolina, or indeed in any place, other than that of his residence. While Rutledge continued in Newport, we produced such proof of his having written the fictitious letters as must have carried conviction home to every unprejudiced mind. This proof consisted of the certificates and depositions of nineteen most respectable men, many of them officers of the highest grades, upon the similarity of the handwriting of John Rutledge, Representative in Congress; which depositions, expressing in fact the belief of the deponents that Rutledge wrote the false letters, were given after John Rutledge had sworn that he did not write them, and after eleven of his intimates had sworn nearly to the same effect, and given too, upon a full and accurate examination of the forged letters by the deponents, and not upon a hasty and intemperate examination, or rather no examination. These deponents had in the balance, the oaths of Rutledge and his eleven intimates, and the similarity of hand-writing—the oaths kicked the beam. The depositions of the post-master and his assistant also constituted a part of the body of proof urged against Rutledge. These gentlemen made oath to the delivery of the two disguised letters by Rutledge's girl, and to their knowledge of the hand-writing, though disguised, at the time of their reception into the post-office. Assurances of other testimony have been uttered, with repeated invitations to prosecution, which should bring out the whole evidence in the case. Intimations of former and later offences, of the same kind, and of the same person, have been thrown out, with corresponding circumstances forcing belief. We also produced the opinions of many gentlemen of Providence, relative to the two letters, making in all above forty of the most respectable citizens of this State, who, having carefully examined the letters, publicly testified to the guilt of Rutledge; after, notwithstanding and in direct opposition to the oaths of Rutledge and the oaths of his eleven intimates, Rutledge's defence consisted of two parts, namely, the oaths, and a poor attempt to palm his crimes upon a Senator of Rhode Island. One part we have annulled in the manner above stated—the other, which was bottomed on false swearing, we have annihilated, by exhibiting perfect evidence of the falsity of the depositions on which it was founded—and at last, one of the very deponents has come forth with a statement, which he says, is "according to his own dictation," wherein he acknowledges his mistake.
Thus have we proved Rutledge to be guilty. Of the many columns of "standard abuse," which have "graced" the federal papers, during the exposure of Rutledge's criminality, we have taken but little notice; nor shall we dishonor the cause, which we intend to support, by stooping to a contest on the ground of our adversaries—we cannot descend to a total dereliction of decorum in order to meet our opponents in their own way.
Much foreign matter has been introduced, by the scribblers who have managed Rutledge's defence, but we have not suffered ourselves to be drawn from the main point, and we trust that our friends have not been led astray by federal artifice.
We have now only to request our readers to re-peruse the letters and the proofs, that their faith may be strong (for lies innumerable will be circulated on this interesting subject, by the federalists, to whom and to whose cause the exposure of Rutledge is a mortal blow) and to credit us for our display of generosity, towards an execrable wretch, while present, and for our intentions to indulge the same spirit of generosity, now that the horrible offender is gone.
* For the manner of conducting the examination of the forged letters, on the part of Rutledge's friends, see Rhode-Island Republican of Sept. 24th, 1802.
† Depositions of the post-master and his assistant—declaration on the President's letter—deposition relative to Gessy—(for which see Rhode-Island Republican of the 9th ult.)
The Honourable SAMUEL J. POTTER, our Lieutenant Governor, having examined the two forged letters, styled Rutledge's Letters, and compared them with the hand-writing of John Rutledge, representative in Congress from South-Carolina, favored the public with his certificate upon the similarity of the hand-writing. This certificate was honored with federal distinction in the noted Chronicle, printed by Bennett Wheeler—the customary abuse issued from his press, during the session of the General Assembly, at which Lieutenant Governor Potter attended, the last week, in Providence. Two days after the scurrilous publication made its appearance, this gentleman was chosen, by the Grand Committee, consisting of the Governor, the Senate, and the Representatives, Senator of the United States, for six years from the third day of March next, without opposition.—Our distant friends will judge, from a consideration of these facts, of the high estimation, in which the federal papers of this State are held, by our first citizens—and they will be enabled to determine the true weight on the public mind of the gross abuse, levelled at those of our respectable citizens who fill the most important offices—and they will also realize the propriety of opposing to the scandalous, malicious, and false publications of the federal editors, only silent contempt.
To those who have much leisure, we recommend the perusal of Doctor Senter's letter to John Rutledge, Esq. published in the last Mercury, and a comparison thereof with the deposition of Wm. Moore, jun. published in a late Mercury.
Desirous to contribute to the amusement of our young & fanciful friends, many of whom delight in ghosts, spectres, &c. &c. we catch the first moment to announce to them an apparition, which is to be seen, every night, moving swiftly under the trees, within the railing, in Washington-Square, at the hour of eleven.—This walking spirit is of the fable species, and is called The Black Phantom .
The manner in which the signatures to the late Address to Rutledge was obtained, exhibits the real character of the UNASSUMING Dep. Sec. & Pub. Not. ex off. The names of several gentlemen were placed to the address, who were not in town. Some who, having heard that their names were down, without their consent, declared, previous to its going to press, that unless they were erased, a public exposure should be the consequence. The names were therefore struck out. Many of the most respectable federalists could not be prevailed on to sign the address. Numbers who did sign, have since declared they should not have done it, had they known the address was to be published. Such was the address and deception of the Count, and the ex officio, who procured the signatures.
Our readers are invited candidly to compare the following paragraph, copied from the Mercury of the 5th ult. with the subjoined extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in Stonington.
"The jacobin paper in this town having so thoroughly established its reputation for lying, as not to be believed when it tells the truth; its printers have concluded, that in their present situation, by telling the truth, they shall lie most successfully. Another specimen of this new mode of lying, gives us in a paragraph about the Stonington election. They tell us that "real and unadulterated republicanism has prevailed" in that town, and that its freemen have chosen for their representatives two professed republicans. This also is true in letter, but false in spirit. They will to be understood that the Stonington deputies are democratic; whereas the truth is, they are both firm and respectable federalists, as we have been informed from indubitable authority. Yet, as the paragraph states, "unadulterated republicanism has prevailed" in that town; for democracy has there fallen into contempt. Their democratic printer has made the inhabitants sick of jacobinism; and the federalists, from being heretofore in the minority, have now an hundred majority."
Newport Mercury. Extract of a letter from Stonington, (Conn.) to the Editor of the Republican, dated Oct. 27.
"I have been repeatedly informed by gentlemen of respectability, that the editors of the Newport Mercury have attempted to prove that the Representatives from this town to the General Assembly, were of that class of people called federalists. If the repeated and positive declarations of the gentlemen elected Representatives may be believed, they are Republicans. One of them I know to be a friend to the liberties of the people—to Mr Jefferson and his administration: He has declared it; his friends and family have asserted it, and his steady and uniform conduct warrants the belief. The other I believe to be of the same principle; there is no proof to the contrary. Real and uncontaminated Republicans, who would spurn at the idea of voting for a man of contrary principles, gave him their suffrages."
"If the Mercury editors have asserted that there was a majority of federalists at Freemen's meeting, I am justified in declaring that they are in an error. There were 450 voters attended, and more than 400 of them gave in their votes for Republican candidates. When the nomination for Members of Congress was called over, Mr. Griswold (a federalist) was nominated, and had no more than TEN VOTES. And the Republican nomination for Assistant, was almost unanimously supported by the freemen present."
It will be recollected that the lie was repeated by the Mercury several weeks successively.—Thus its editors stand convicted before the public. We shall make no comments.
"And the places which once knew them, shall know them no more."
Three Federal Stars, which once twinkled in the County of Worcester, have, in the course of the present year, sunk below the Horizon! never, alas! never to rise again.—The Independent Gazetteer, at Worcester;—The Farmer's Journal, at Brookfield;—and the Telescope, at Leominster;—they were here yesterday!— "Where are they to day?"—gone
"From which no Federal travellers return!" [National Eger.]
Callender and the Tories have the vanity to say they can write down the President—Poor creatures; if defamation and scandal could effect their object, no doubt they would be successful. These fellows argue, that it is less difficult to pull down than build up, and have the impudence to declare, that in their work of destruction, lies and scandal shall be their most effectual weapons. [Hartford Mer.]
Extract of a Letter, dated New Haven, Oct. 20. "As you calculated, you are correct; the tory papers have attempted deceit; when the Legislature convened in this town, Mr. Kirby, had only 36 votes for Speaker: it is true; but that this was the whole strength of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, is a gross misrepresentation, which those who published it knew to be untrue; three days from this will prove that we have in the Legislature 70 democrats, or more, that will prove their faith by their works."
prove that we have in the Legislature 70 democrats, or more, that will prove their faith by their works."
"From the best information that I can obtain, we shall have about 80 votes in the House of Representatives on most questions, and 70 on all questions that are interesting to the two parties."
Republicanism Triumphant.
Extract of a Letter from Burlington (Vermont) dated Oct. 14th, 1802.
"My predictions are verified. Governor Tichenor has 2600 majority, and of course has received some thousands of republican votes. The republican Lieut. Governor has a handsome majority. Of the council 8 are republican to 4 federal. The House is ascertained to be about 105 Republican to 80 Federal and doubtful."
We are authorised to state from authentic information, just received from the Legislature of this State, that the Hon. ISRAEL SMITH, Esq. one of our present Representatives in Congress, is elected a Senator, by said Legislature, to fill the place of Nathaniel Chipman, Esq. whose seat in the Senate of the United States becomes vacant in March next, by a majority of seventy six votes. Thus we see true genuine Republicanism triumphant over Federal delusion, Aristocracy, and toryism. [Ver. Jour.]
GEORGIA ELECTION took place on the 4th ult. They sent four Members to Congress, all of whom are Republican, and elected without opposition.
NEW JERSEY ELECTION has terminated in favor of the Republicans. This secures to them the appointment of United States Senator, and all the State Officers.
In PENNSYLVANIA the majority is upwards of TWENTY THOUSAND in favor of the Patriotic Governor M'KEAN. Every Representative to Congress, from the present aspect of the poll, in that State, will be Republican.
More Pleasing Intelligence!
The Elections in Massachusetts, which took place on Monday last, have, in three instances at least, proved favorable to the cause of rational liberty & the rights of mankind. The following Districts have returned tried Republicans to the next Congress, viz.
In Suffolk District, (including Boston, and 6 other towns) Doctor WILLIAM EUSTIS, elected by a majority of 59, over John Quincy Adams, son of the late President.
In Essex South District, (including Salem & 8 other towns) Honorable JACOB CROWNINSHIELD, elected by a majority of 107, over Timothy Pickering, late Secretary of State.
In Norfolk District, Honorable EBENEZER SEAVER, elected by a majority of 246, over two other candidates.
From Georgia to Rhode-Island and Vermont, the minority can scarcely be called a faction, it is so small. In Connecticut it decreases every hour, and only common exertions in Massachusetts, would re-establish its primitive glory, and render her, as of old, a leading member in the grand federal association.
From Bennett Wheeler's Chronicle.
"AMONG the whole group of advocates of A VILE DEMOCRACY, who have lent their feeble powers to endeavor to fulfil the character of the Hon. JOHN RUTLEDGE, none can appear more ridiculous & contemptible than the two in the county of Washington. It is really laughable, to see the names of the Lieutenant Governor and Mr. Hoskie affixed to certificates, tending to prove the likeness of letters & words by comparison of hand-writing, when the opinion of so respectable a number of gentlemen, whose superior skill in penmanship, and who possess more competent qualifications to decide on the subject, have already been marked by a contrary decision—and which has been generally received as fully satisfactory."
Thus Bennett Wheeler, has now commenced his attack upon the second Magistrate of the State. It is performed his calumnies will meet the same contempt, as those did against the First Magistrate. It is really laughable to see Mr. Wheeler, write about a vile Democracy! Dr. Johnston, says "a Democracy is a form of Government in which the sovereign power is lodged in the body of the People." Perhaps Mr. Wheeler, expects to be lodged in the "hole" with Mr. Adams' "Nobility," [Phanix.]

ON AUTUMN.
I AT my window sit and see, Autumn, his rustling fingers lay On every leaf, on every tree:<— I call, but summer will not stay. She flies, the boasted Goddess flies, And pointing where the effluvia shoot, Preserve my parting gifts, she cries; I take the leaves, but not the fruit. Let me the parting gift improve, And emulate the just reply; As life's short seasons swiftly remove, E'er fix'd in winter's frost I lie. Health, beauty, vigor, now decline, The pride of summer's splendid day; Leaves, with the stem, must now resign, The mournful prelude of decay. But let fair virtue's fruit remain, Though summer, with her leaves, be fled; Then, not despis'd, I'll now complain, But cherish Autumn in her stead.
