DR. NORTHROP'S
NEW INVENTED BITTERS,
For the JAUNDICE, and all BILLIOUS COMPLAINTS.—Prepared in New-York.
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile, which being effected in the greatest preventative to all diseases, and most conducive to health; it being an excellent preventative against noxious vapors, unhealthy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recommend to sale, ought not to be sold.
The elixir of health the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers &c. It is founded on medical principles, a most safe and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fatal disorders in the bowels, occasioned thereby, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children, especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bowels are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently occasions them, the bad effects whereof are often manifested by worms, rickets, convulsions or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution.
The author having been long in the study and practice of physic, of a weakly constitution, much troubled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaundice, has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiment a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these states as in the Well Indies and other warm climates, to which he and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, sour, and bitter things, of those that were astringent, those that were astringent or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opiates, &c. or those that would moderate, relax, reduce and calm the constitution, as sedatives—By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great variety of proportions, both simple and compound; has at last hit upon a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend an absolute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to prevent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from bilious matter collected in the stomach, said to proceed from the overflowing of the gall, but actually, arise from indigestion, viz. All kinds of nausea, loquacious sickness, puking, belching, hiccuping, heartburn, sour stomach, sleepy dull, heavy feelings, pressure and distress of the vitals, with faintness, weakness, want of appetite, dim sight, oziness &c.
All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic consumption, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, palley, rheumatism, dropsies, and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indigestion, which these bitters will actually remove—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by opening the prima viæ and clearing the first passages, create a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and thereby supercede the necessity of any other physic. No one need be afraid to take them. They are a pure cordial for the weakly stomach. They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose prove moderately physical. By which means they regulate laxes, dysenteries, &c. By clearing and keeping off all constipations the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from collative habits. They are recommended to all hypochondriac and spetetic people, as their complaints arise from chachexy, inanimation of want or nourishment; by constantly taking those they will find their appetite return, their mind more at ease and the whole body invigorated. Likewise to fluents, febrinary persons, and all vulnerary persons, for they take away the fire and in intoxicating quality of the rim that is always injurious.
It is the most effective vermifuge, the most effectual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children, if for no other purpose.

FAMILY MEDICINES.
For Bilious Complaints,
PREPARED BY SAMUEL LEE, jun. of Windham, (Conn.)—The importance and usefulness of these Pills, at this season of the year, when epidemic diseases, are too prevalent and when most constitutions from predisposition and infectious atmosphere, are inclined to yellow, bilious, and inflammatory fevers, have been verified by an experience of more than twelve years. The proprietor, in consequence of the uncommon good effects of his pills and the reputation they had gained in his practice, was urged by his friends to have them patented. He at length consented; and in April 1796, he obtained from the President of the U. States his Letters Patent. These were the first Pills ever patented in America and their peculiar effects on the prevailing diseases in the United States and the West Indies soon gave them that celebrity which their intrinsic virtue merited.
The same officer's pills, and the ready sale they so universally met were truly a powerful temptation to pretenders, very soon bilious Pills, ushered into market, from all parts of the union. Some of the most famous of all makers found great advantage from familiarity of names and were for a while able to pass their composition upon the public, as the true genuine, original Lee's Pills, and some have even had the effrontery to pretend to an originality in the pills themselves but an acknowledgment of later, that the sale of their ware have become small & circumstanced, is conclusive evidence that the public have been taught by experience to be cautious how they purchase oralic preparations merely on account of the presumption and effrontery of the author. It is now more than eight years since I obtained my patent;—and the idea calculable, demand for my pills, which has been, and is daily increasing is a convincing proof of their superior virtues and literary effects. I have no objection to the world being supplied with abundance of pills but a conviction that the people have a right to correct information has induced me to come forward and state these facts. That the purchasers may be certain that they get the right kind; they will be particular to enquire for Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills—and to observe that my name be attached to each bill of direction, in my own hand writing.

For Consumptive Complaints.
DR. COOLEY'S
Vegetable Elixir, or Cough Drops;
A REMEDY far exceeding every other yet used for consumptions, asthma, spitting of blood, shortness of breath, and every other species of disease to which that organ of life the lungs is perpetually exposed.
It is not pretended that this medicine will cure every disease to which suffering humanity is liable, as is the case with most patent medicines; diseases which are as opposite as an acid and an alkali they will all be cured by one simple remedy, such weak impotences have, with much propriety, brought most patent drugs into disrepute. But the Vegetable Elixir is calculated for one class of diseases only, viz. those to which the lungs are exposed, and I need not observe that they terminate in consumptions. The precursor or bangers of this hitherto intractable malady (until the discovery of the Vegetable Elixir) are, spitting of blood, pains in the breast and side, a difficulty of breathing, and a great number of complaints which slender and delicate constitutions are so frequently laboring under; which, if attended to immediately on their commencement, will easily be obviated; and those in the last stages will be much alleviated, and many of them effectually cured.
Fifty dollars reward.

Congress.
THE EX-BASHAW.
[The following letter accompanied the late Message of the President to Congress.]
Letter from Achmet Bashaw to the President of the United States.
Excellence, FOR nearly eleven years, I have been labouring under the weight of misfortune; but notwithstanding which, my distress was never equal to that which the actual combination of circumstances has made it.
My residence was near Cairo, when there arrived in Alexandria, a brig, commanded by captain Hull, in company with general Eaton, who came recommended to Mr. Briggs, H. B. M. consul, and enquired of him where I could be found. — My place of abode being made known, a courier was dispatched for Cairo, by order of the general, and on his arrival at Razid a second one, which came to Cairo, directed to the house of Tursul Bashaw, an officer of the Ottoman Porte, who received a letter in which he was requested to suffer me to pass without interruption, in order that I might co-operate with the Americans to take Tripoli. — These tidings being communicated to me, caused me to reflect seriously, whether they could be true or not. All doubts were dissipated by General Eaton meeting in Cairo my secretary, named Mahamed — whom he consigned another party, and in company with two Maltese arrived at Said, my place of residence, and delivered to me a dispatch, urging me to leave that place immediately, in order that we might have a meeting (as happened) in the city of Daminture, where the general was made known to me, as one who had been sent thither by your excellency for the conquest of the kingdom of Tripoli. I engaged to go with him to Syracuse, and also to keep myself secret, from which circumstance, I was necessarily compelled to abandon all I possessed, and thus lose my horses, camels, &c. Previous to my leaving Daminture, general Eaton assured me the peace would never be made, unless I was placed in my cum seat (throne) and often swore by himself, that he would never take me from where I was for the sole purpose of making the conquest.
I did not, however, fail to suggest to the general, that in case Jessul Bashaw should actually remain conqueror, what part he would take in my favor, as I should not be able to remain any longer in the Turkish dominions. I was answered, if the combinations of war should prove favorable to Jessul Bashaw, that a pension should be granted me, sufficient to maintain my family and suite; the people and money demanded by me, to effect this object (or such a movement) were ready; and that I had better expedite my secretary to capt. Hull, to inform him, that the general had come to conduct me from Upper Egypt to Syracuse, but that I could not trust myself at sea in the manner he had. My envoy having executed his commission, arrived first in Syracuse, and afterwards in Malta, in consequence of the absence of captain Hull from the first (place) and whom he afterwards found in the second (Malta) and executed his embassy; he was answered by the same (Hull) that every thing I could possibly want was ready, and in fact, there was sent me a vessel, laden with supplies and provisions, accompanied by the brig commanded by capt. Hull, which arrived at Bomba, delivering to the general and myself a dispatch (to him directed) from the commodore, in which he renders Hull responsible for every thing I might want: I then asked for cannon, powder, and other warlike supplies, and was answered that a frigate was hourly expected, and that they would be sent to me. I afterwards left Bomba, in company with General Eaton, and we pursued our route towards Derne, arriving near it in twelve hours. Such a voyage made me extremely happy, as well as all my people, while the manner in which we were treated by the general, excited universal admiration; his dignified soul (conduct) merits applause. We were scarcely on the twelfth hour of our voyage, when we saw a fch. which brought us two pieces of cannon, and nothing more. After an attack of two hours in which all the troops applaud and admire the courage of general Eaton,
Derne was taken (as the people of that country were much in our favor) and in which attack the general was wounded in his hand.
After the capture of the city, we received from the chiefs of the Brigands, letters offering to join us. After ten days a troop of Cavalry and Infantry (of the enemy) advanced; they were twice broken and put to flight by us. We now asked from the fch. which had been sent us, people and arms, while there remained a respite and peace, and were waiting an answer respecting our demand for people and arms, in order that we might go and take Ben-gaza and Tripoli; in the mean time arrived a frigate which we supposed had brought us people, but she landed a Turkish ambassador from Jessul Bashaw, who informed the general of the alliance of Jessul Bashaw with your excellency; saying that the said Bashaw would restore my family and that your excellency would give me in the name of the United States a pension. The same evening of the arrival of the frigate, the general informed me, that I must embark with all my people; and thus was again compelled to abandon all I possessed. — The general having prevented the Turkish ambassador from landing, and thus we parted for Syracuse, where we found the whole squadron.
I daily expected my family, when finally I was told that he (the Bashaw) would not let them go; having thus broken his word I demanded of the general, to be replaced in my own country, which was also denied me saying that he had no orders to that effect from your excellency, and it is thus I find myself in this country with the small pension of two hundred dollars per month, and on which sum I am to support myself with a number of people. Such a state of things makes me feel that the weight of misfortune has only increased, and for the first time am completely abandoned, and by a great nation; I therefore fling myself on the mercy of your excellency, who under the influence of just laws, will not fail to render me that justice which oppression and misfortune entitle me to.
With the hope of an early reply from your excellency, I remain, &c. &c.
ACHMET BASHAW. Son of Ali Bashaw, &c. &c. Syracuse, Aug. 15th, 1805. His Excellency the President of the United States of America.
REPORT Of the Committee, consisting of Mr. Bradley, of Vermont, Mr. Wright, of Maryland, Mr. Balwin, of Georgia, Mr. Smith, of Maryland, and Mr. Tracy, of Connecticut, to whom was referred the Message of the President of the United States on the application of Hamet Caramalli, Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli.
In Senate, March 17, 1806. Mr. Bradley, from the Committee to whom was referred the application of Hamet Caramalli, Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, submitted the following Report.
The ex Bashaw founds his claim on the justice of the United States, from his services and sufferings in their cause, and from his having been deceived and amused with the prospect of being placed on his throne, as legitimate sovereign of Tripoli, and frequently drawn from eligible situations for the purpose of being made the dupe and instrument of policy, and finally sacrificed to misfortune and wretchedness. The committee from a full investigation of the documents which have been laid before Congress, with other evidence that has come within their knowledge, are enabled to lay before the Senate a brief statement of facts in relation to the ex Bashaw, and the result of their deliberations thereon.
This unfortunate prince by the treason and perfidy of his brother, the reigning Bashaw, was driven from his throne, and exile to the regency of Tunis; where the agents of the United States in the Mediterranean, found him; and as early as August eighteen hundred and one, entered into a convention to co-operate with him, the object of which was to obtain a permanent peace with Tripoli, to place the ex-Bashaw on his throne, and procure indemnification for all expence in accomplishing the same. This agreement was renewed in November following, with encouragement that the United States would preserve, until they had effected the object; and in eighteen hundred and two, when the reigning Bashaw had made overtures to the ex-Bashaw to settle on
him the two provinces of Derne and Bengazi, and when the ex-Bashaw on the point of leaving Tunis, under an escort furnished him by the reigning Bashaw, the agents of the United States prevailed on him to abandon the officer, with assurance that the United States would effectually co-operate, and place him on the throne of Tripoli.
The same engagements were renewed in eighteen hundred, and three, and the plan of co-operation so arranged, that the ex-Bashaw by his own exertions and force, took possession of the province of Derne; but the American squadron, at that time under the command of commodore Morris, instead of improving that favourable moment, to co-operate with the ex-Bashaw, and to put an end to the war, unfortunately abandoned the Barbary coast, and left the ex-Bashaw to contend solely with all the force of the reigning Bashaw, and who in consequence was obliged, in the fore part of the year eighteen hundred and four, to give up his conquest of Derne, and fly from the fury of the usurper into Egypt. These transactions were from time to time, not only communicated by our agents to government, but were laid before Congress in February, eighteen hundred and four, in the documents accompanying the report of the committee of claims on the petition of Mr. Eaton, late consul at Tunis, which committee expressed their decided approbation of his official conduct, and to which report the committee beg leave to refer.
In full possession of the knowledge of these facts, the government of the United States, in June, eighteen hundred four, dispatched commodore Barron with a squadron into the Mediterranean, and in his instructions, submitted to his entire discretion, the subject of availing himself of the co-operation of the ex-Bashaw and referring him to Mr. Eaton, as an agent sent out by government for that purpose.
After Commodore Barron had arrived on the station in September, eighteen hundred and four, he dispatched Mr. Eaton and captain Hull into Egypt, to find the ex-Bashaw with instructions to assure him that the commodore would take the most effectual measures with the forces under his command, to co-operate with him against the usurper, his brother, and to establish him in the regency of Tripoli. After encountering many difficulties and changes, the ex-Bashaw was found in upper Egypt with the Mamelukes, and commanding the Arabs; the same assurances were again made to him, and a convention was reduced to writing, the stipulations of which had the same objects in view; the United States to obtain a permanent peace and their prisoners, the ex-Bashaw to obtain his throne. Under these impressions, and with the fullest confidence in the assurances he had received from the agents of the United States, and even from commodore Barron himself, by one of his (the Bashaw's) secretaries, whom he had sent to wait on the commodore for that purpose, he gave up his prospects in Egypt, abandoned his property in that country, constituted Mr. Eaton general and commander in chief of his forces, and with such an army as he was able to raise and support, marched through the Libyan desert, suffering every hardship incident to such a perilous undertaking; and with his army commanded by general Eaton, aided by O'Bannon and Mann, three American officers, who shared with him the dangers and hardships of the campaign, and whose names their country will forever record with honor, attacked the city of Derne in the regency at Tripoli, on the twenty seventh day of April, one thousand eight hundred and five, and after a well fought battle took the same; and for the first time planted the American colors on the ramparts of a Tripolitan fort. And in several battles afterwards, one of which he fought without the aid of the Americans, (they having been restrained by orders, not warranted by any policy, issued as appears by Mr. Lear, the American consul, defeated the army of the usurper, with great slaughter, maintained his conquest, and without the hazard of a repulse, would have marched to the throne of Tripoli, had he been supported by the co-operation of the American squadron, which in honour and good faith he had a right to expect. The
committee would here explicitly declare, that in their opinion, no blame ought to attach to commodore Barron, a wasting sickness, and consequent mental as well as bodily debility, had rendered him totally unable to exercise the duties of commanding the squadron, previous to this momentous crisis, and from which he has never recovered; and to this cause alone may be attributed the final failure of the plan of co-operation which appears to have been wisely concerted by the government, and hitherto bravely executed by its officers.
But however unpleasant the task, the committee are compelled by the obligations of truth and duty to state further, that Mr. Lear, to whom was entrusted the power of negotiating the peace, appears to have gained a complete ascendancy over the commodore, thus debilitated by sickness; or rather having assumed the command in the name of the commodore to have dictated every measure; to have paralysed every military operation by sea and land; and finally, without displaying the fleet or squadron before Tripoli, without consulting for the safety of the Ex-Bashaw or his army, against the opinion of all the officers of the fleet so far as the committee have been able to obtain the same, and of Commodore Rodgers (as appears from Mr. Lear's letter to the secretary of state dated Syracuse harbour, July 5th, 1805) to have entered into a convention with the reigning Bashaw, by which, contrary to his instructions, he stipulated to pay him sixty thousand dollars, to abandon the Ex-Bashaw; and to withdraw all aid and assistance from his army. And although a stipulation was made that the wife & children of the Ex Bashaw should be delivered to him on his withdrawing from the territories of Tripoli, yet that stipulation has not been carried into execution, and it is highly probable was never intended to be. The committee forbear to make any comment on the impropriety of the orders issued to general Eaton to evacuate Derne, five days previous to Mr. Lear's sailing from Malta for Tripoli, to enter on his negotiation; and the honor of the nation forbids any remarks on the unworthy attempt to compel the ex-Bashaw and General Eaton, to give up and abandon their conquest, by withholding supplies from the army at Derne, eight days previous to the commencement of the negotiation; nor will the committee condescend to enter into a consideration of pretended reasons, assigned by Mr. Lear to palliate his management of the affairs of the negotiation; such as, the danger of the American prisoners in Tripoli, the unfitness of the ships for the service, and the want of means to prosecute the war ; they appear to the committee to have no foundation in fact, and are used rather as a veil to cover an inglorious deed, than solid reasons to justify the negotiator's conduct. The committee are free to say, that, in their opinion, it was in the power of the United States, with the force then employed, and a small portion of the sixty thousand dollars, thus improperly expended, to have placed Hamet Caramalli, the rightful sovereign of Tripoli, on his throne; to have obtained their prisoners in perfect safety, & without the payment of a cent, with assurance, and probable certainty, of eventual remuneration for all expence; and to have established a peace with the Barbary powers, that would have been secure and permanent, and which would have dignified the name and character of the American people.
Whatever Hamet, the ex-Bashaw, may have said, in his letter of June 29th, 1805, to palliate the conduct which first abandoned and then ruined him, the Senate cannot fail to discern that he was then at Syracuse, in a country of strangers to his merits, and hostile to his nation and religion, and where every circumstance conspired to depress him, which together with the fear of starving, left him scarcely a moral agent.
Upon these facts, and to carry into effect the principles of duty arising out of them, the only remuneration now left in the power of the United States, to make, the committee herewith present a bill for consideration of the Senate. The committee are confident that the legislature of a free and christian country can never leave it in the power of a mahometan to say that they violate their faith, or withhold the operation
of justice from one who has fallen a victim to his unbounded confidence in their integrity and honor.
Extract of a letter from capt. Dent. "It was generally believed by the officers in the Mediterranean, that Mr. Lear had a great ascendancy over the commodore in all his measures relative to the squadron, and from frequent observations of Mr. Lear's intimacy with the commodore during his debilitated state, I am of the same opinion."
"I must here pay a tribute of justice to commodore Rodgers, whose conduct during the negotiation on board, was mixed with that many firmness and evident with to continue the war, if it could be done with propriety, while he displayed the magnanimity of an American, in declaring that we fought not for conquest, but to maintain our just rights and national dignity, as fully convinced the negotiators that we did not ask but grant peace."
"You will pardon me if I here introduce a circumstance evincive of the spirit of our countrymen. At breakfast this morning, commodore Rodgers observed that if the Bashaw would consent to deliver up our countrymen without making peace, he would engage to give him two hundred thousand instead of sixty thousand dollars, and raise the difference between the two sums from the officers of the navy, who he was as perfectly assured, would contribute to it with the highest satisfaction."

WASHINGTON, MARCH 13.
A resolution has been introduced into the Senate, requesting the President of the U. S. to cause to be surveyed such township of Land, of six miles square, to be called Derne, within the limits of the public lands, and to grant the same to William Eaton, Priestly N. O'Bannon, and George Washington Mann, and the three surviving marines who served as volunteers in that expedition; as an evidence of the high sense entertained by the Senate, of their patriotism and intrepidity.
BOSTON, APRIL 2.
Capture of Cape-of-Good Hope. The Cape of Good-Hope surrendered to the English, on the 10th of January, 1806. The English squadron, consisting of the Diadem 64 guns; Raisonable, 64; Bellequeux, 64; Diomedes, 50; Leda, 38; Narcissus, 32; another frigate, a brig; three Indiamen, and 38 transports, with 7300 troops, commanded by General Baird. The squadron commanded by commodore Sir Home Popham. The troops landed on the 5th on the Hottentot shore: — And were opposed by the Dutch troops under Gen. Yansen. The defence was obstinate, and rumour gives the loss of the Dutch at 1000, and the British from 600 to 800. The Dutch troops were defeated, and fled into the country; and the colony capitulated.
Articles of Capitulation,
Agreed upon; and signed, between H. C. Baron Von Prophalon, Dutch military commandant; and Major General Sir David Baird, and commodore Sir Home Popham, commanders of the army and squadron of his Britannic Majesty, January 10, 1806. There are fourteen articles in the capitulation, by which it is stipulated that the town, batteries, &c. should be immediately surrendered to the British; that the garrison should receive the honors of war, be prisoners until exchanged; and that the officers to have their parole, &c.; that the French subjects should be comprehended in the capitulation; that private property should be free and untouched; that the public property of every description should be delivered up; that the inhabitants should enjoy their rights, privileges, and worship; that the paper money should continue current; that the prisoners should not be pressed into the English service; and that two ships sunk just before the surrender, should be raised at the expense of those who sunk them.
From Washington, March 21.
Mr. Clark, of Virginia, this day moved a resolution for a Committee to inquire into the conduct of Gideon Granger, Postmaster-General. — As a reason for this motion, Mr. C. stated, that he did believe, that it would appear upon examination, that Granger had been intriguing and conspiring against the rights and privileges of the members of the House of Representatives; and for this purpose had attempted to seduce one of

the most influential presses in the country to co-operate in his designs, which had relation to a subject now depending before the national legislature. The motion was carried unanimously.
“Report says, the occasion of this motion is some overtures made by Mr. Granger, to Duane of the Aurora.”
“So we go, Randolph denounces Mr. Jefferson as pusillanimous; Mr. Madison, as a silly pamphleteer; and a great number of the would-be-leaders of the Majority, as scycophants, tools, dunces, smatterers and ignoramus;—and now Mr. Clark, of Virginia, comes forward to denounce Gideon Granger!” What an excellent administration is this to harmonize with! How beautiful is such harmony of social intercourse.”
March 23. It is proposed by a bill introduced in the Senate, to make the Ex-Bishop of Tripoli, a present of 20 or 30,000 dollars.
“The bill to prohibit the importation of certain goods, &c. was read twice in the House of Representatives of the U. S. the 21st, and made the order of the day for the ensuing Monday.”
“Mr. Randolph goes on lashing the administration, from the throne to the footstool. The day before yesterday, a resolution was submitted to inquire into the official conduct of the Post-Master General; and yesterday he gave notice to the House, that on Monday next, “he John Randolph, a Representative from the State of Virginia, would, in his place, publicly denounce James Madison, Secretary of State.” He then assigned as his reason in part, why he would do so—that Mr. Madison told him, at the commencement of the session, “that France wanted money, and would not suffer Spain to treat with us, until we gave it to her; and that we should be obliged to do so”—upon which said he, “I turned upon my heel, and swore, I would never yield an inch to a measure, so disgraceful to my country.” He then challenged any friend to the Secretary of State, to come forward on Monday next, and deny any part of this charge, or any thing he should then say on the subject.”

Fellow Citizens!
On Monday next it will be your proud duty to proclaim your choice for CHIEF MAGISTRATE—On that day let it be your glory to show to the world that you are enlightened and free citizens of a free republic—that you are not proselytes to the specious, yet insidious doctrines of democracy—recollect that your political opponents are indefatigable in their exertions to effect a change in the State government, for the sole purpose of gratifying their inordinate desire of ambition and aggrandizement. Upon the freedom and purity of our elections, rest the existence of our civil and religious institutions—be assured that you will do injustice to yourselves your country, and your God, if you do not faithfully and conscientiously discharge this all important right.—Let no indolence, sordid interest, or prejudice, induce you to neglect this invaluable privilege; and which you would consider as one of the greatest calamities, to be deprived of. Shall the mild and patriotic STRONG, the friend of Washington, the Constitution, and the Liberties of the Country, be excluded from the Chair of State to make room for the democratic candidate who has been guilty of conduct as a man, that is a disgrace to human nature?—Forbid it justice—forbid it heaven. Federalists to your posts on the day of election—show to the world that you are not to be the sport of a faction, who are striving by the most base and wicked means to rob you of every thing you hold most dear and valuable—The object of the democrats, is, should they succeed in the election of Governor to institute the reign of terror and persecution—to drive from office, and deprive the State of the services of our ablest and most distinguished citizens; the holy work of revolution will go on till all respect for virtue and talents is destroyed—till every thing worth possessing is levelled with the dust, in one common and undistinguished ruin. This is not an imaginary picture, the history of ancient and modern times affords many awful lessons of the fatal evils which attend a departure from correct principles and sound morals. Federalists! your cause is just—the means of success is in your power—show by activity and unanimity, that you are not only sensible of the
danger that surrounds you; but that you are determined to check its progress with vigour and effect.

Public Money Embezzled.
CITIZENS!—The public attention has been roused by some late discoveries with respect to Mr. Sullivan: these discoveries are all-important—Your PUBLIC TREASURY has been defrauded: Positive proof has been laid before the public, that for more than ten years past Mr. Sullivan has received annually several sums of money belonging to the Commonwealth, and given his receipt for it: and then appropriated this money to support his extravagance, instead of paying it into the state treasury according to his duty and his oath. This solemn charge was made publicly and positively in Boston on the 28th of last month; and abundant proof accompanied the accusation—and, citizens, Mr. Sullivan has not denied it. The Chronicle is silent and public censure is loud on the subject of his conduct. Shall such a man as this be our Governor? If as an agent and a steward he has been found so grossly unfaithful, shall he be made a distinguished Ruler in our land?—Let us not clothe ourselves with our own shame—Let us shew our veneration for moral worth and purity, by rejecting with disdain the claims of such a candidate for office and honor—and exerting all our strength in again raising to the chair, the meek, humane and beloved Mr. STRONG—the man in whom we can place all our confidence, and by whom the most exalted office would be honored. PUBLIC GOOD.
For the PORTLAND GAZETTE.
THE Argus of Friday last, is more crowded than usual with falsehood and misrepresentation: however, that was expected, it being the last which the Argus-man could usher forth before the day of election. Some general remarks on the collection of stuff which it contains, seem proper, and may be salutary. It is to be hoped the time has not yet come when the people will shut their eyes and close their ears against the truth; or consent to be treated with as much contempt as the negroes from Africa, by their inhuman masters in America. Let the citizens exercise their reason a few moments, and they must disbelieve all the lies which the Argus-man has seen proper to publish in his last for the good of democracy and the information of the sovereign people.
The first thing we meet with in the Argus is the long address of Mr. Sullivan, which was published some time since in the Chronicle. The answer to this is given in a word—Several days after it was published in Boston, the charges were again made against Mr. Sullivan, accompanied by positive proof of each charge in the Repository printed on the 28th of March: and the one or two Chronicles have been issued since, no attempt is made to destroy this volume of evidence, or evade the force of it. The documents contained such DAMNING PROOF against Mr. Sullivan, and so completely convicted him of inhumanity, dishonesty, and embezzlement, that even the Chronicle, daring iniquity as it is, has not the courage to utter a syllable on the subject—Citizens think on this. In the second place, we notice in the Argus a long string of Democratic Resolutions passed by caucuses in the counties of Middlesex and Worcester. Pray what do these amount to? Have not the people of this County sense enough to form their own opinions? or must they go to these midnight consultations to learn the character of their rulers and the course of conduct they are themselves to pursue? How absurd is it for those who are continually preaching to the people that they ought to reason and judge for themselves, to impose on their understanding in this insulting manner.
In the next place we have several anecdotes designed to impeach the character of Governor Strong with regard to his Thankfulness, Liberty, Humanity and Justice. Let any man read these scraps, and say whether they do not wear every mark of fraud and deception? Formed a day or two before the election and dressed out in a manner to catch the attention and impose on the credulity of the unthinking. Where is the proof to support them? Cannot any man who has no regard to truth write and publish a hundred of them in a day? Can you believe all these things, without first believing that Governor Strong is a man of a cruel and malicious temper and destitute of all sense of official duty and public Justice? Are you prepared to do this?
Have thirty years of his life spent in the service of his Country justified any one of these infernal insinuations? No—Before it can be believed that he has done these things, it must be proved that he is abandoned; and yet the Democrats after searching for six years can find no blemish in the fame or character of our Governor—Every year since he ascended the Chair of State he has been disclosing new reasons for our confidence in his talents, integrity and truth. They are compelled to resort to pitiful anecdotes fabricated in the dark corner of a jacobin printing office in Boston and circulated here with the express purpose of deception.
We are next presented with some long appeals to the people to awake and attend to the approaching election, containing a repetition of thread-bare sayings and hackneyed observations, calculated to interest the feelings and arouse the unfriendly passions of our nature.
But—the trifling meanness discovered in the residue of the Argus is such as to disgust beyond bearing—Nothing but want of principle, and want of faith in the merits of a cause could require or excuse for a moment such boyish attempts, and nonsensical trumpery to support it. The federal papers are not in the habit of making use of such weapons as these. They have attacked Mr. Sullivan in open day—They have accused him to his face of CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS—they have brought forward to public view proof upon proof—they have challenged him to deny or justify them. He has done neither; and the only answer with which despair has furnished them is such falsehood, folly and ribaldry as disgrace the pages of the Argus.
May the eyes of the people soon be opened and their hearts be changed before the day of political darkness or rather the night of political death shall overtake us.

Mere of Taber's Bills.
A Law having passed the Legislature prohibiting the issuing of, and making it highly penal to pass, the bills of private persons,—and in obedience thereto all such bills were called in by the individuals who issued them, except those of Messrs. Taber & Son, which continued to circulate to a large amount; and nothing was done by them to prevent it. In consequence of which the Board of Directors of the Maine Bank advised with the Directors of Portland Bank, and several respectable persons, who thought said bills ought not to pass any longer, took measures to stop their circulation, which they considered as injurious to the interest of said Bank, and the community at large—and in order that Messrs. Taber & Son should be accommodated thereby as little as possible, and to assist them in redeeming their bills, the Board agreed with them in writing, as follows:
“Maine Bank, Sept. 19, 1805. “Voted by the Board, that in order to suppress the circulation of bills issued by private persons under five dollars, which prevent in a great measure the circulation of our own bills, and therefore injurious to the Bank; that this Board will, in consideration of the inconvenience which may arise to John Taber & Son from the adopting proper and legal measures to suppress the passing of their bills, agree with them as follows:—1st. that they publish such advertisements in the Portland papers for calling in their bills, as shall be approved of by this board; and pledge their honors to use all due means in their power to prevent their circulation; and not to issue any more, directly or indirectly.—2d. That the Bank receive their bills, and make loans to them weekly to the amount of what may be received; which bills shall be destroyed when their notes for the same are discounted; and further, will assist them in redeeming their bills by other loans; all which loans not to exceed the sum of ten thousand dollars in the whole—such notes to be renewed once without a check, if requested.—This agreement to be made under the hands of the said Taber & Son, and hereby assure the said Taber & Son, that it shall be in like manner binding on them—Voted, that the foregoing be communicated to the Portland Bank, and also the said Taber & Son. Attest. DAVID HALE, Cashier. We the subscribers agree to the foregoing, and consider the same binding on our part.—Portland, September 24, 1805. JOHN TABER & SON. A true copy—Attest. DAVID HALE, Cashier.”
In pursuance of the foregoing agreement, signed by the said Taber & Son, the Directors, confiding in the good faith and honor of the said Taber & Son, not only loaned them said sum of 10,000 dollars, but more than twice that amount; and did every thing in their power to facilitate the redemption of said bills in the way most favorable to them—and not until the Board had full and satisfactory proof of the said Taber & Son's continuing to issue and pass their bills, contrary to their agreement made as aforesaid, said said Directors refuse (as by their advertisement of March 20th) to receive and redeem their bills and loan them money for that purpose. These facts existing, with what propriety could Messrs. Taber & Son come forward and declare to the public, that they thought the Directors could have no objection to their passing their bills—and also insinuating that the Directors only wished to stop the passing of their bills while the small bills of said Bank were issuing and getting into circulation—and likewise alleging that the Directors had been misinformed about their passing their bills, when they themselves have confessed it.—How can the Directors be mistaken about the amount of their bills in circulation, when the market is full of them; and when they are in the pocket of every man who is able to carry money in it? And what must be the impression on every man's mind, when he is informed that more than 30,000 Dollars of Taber's bills have already been taken in at the Bank, and carried in by others for redemption, and that they still continue largely in circulation, contrary to law, and contrary to the express agreement of the said Taber & Son; and even their plighted faith and honor?—All these things are before the public, who will judge whether the Directors have, or have not, mis-placed their confidence. By order of the Board, DAVID HALE, Cashier. Maine Bank, April 4, 1806.

Who shall be Governor—STRONG or SULLIVAN?
FELLOW-CITIZENS!—On the 7th of April, you will be called upon to exercise the all important right of electing your Chief Magistrate. Honor, Justice, and your Country, require that you faithfully discharge this duty. As a correct knowledge of the characters of those who are held up as candidates for your suffrages, is of the first importance, a deliberate and impartial perusal of the following remarks and documents is solicited. It is not conjecture—it is not political slander. Here is evidence, as strong as proof of libel to wit, of great misconduct in Judge Sullivan, the democratic candidate for Governor, both as a private and public man. The charges were brought forward by Mr. Park, of Boston, a gentleman of education and of good character. But they do not rest upon his assertion alone. As he promised, he has produced such an accumulation of testimony and evidence, as must convince every candid man. The question before the public is this—Shall Governor STRONG, a most virtuous and faithful ruler, against whom not a single crime is alledged—who has been tried, and proved to be the Friend of the Constitution and of the people—shall he be set aside for such a character as Mr. Sullivan? Here is the picture, drawn partly by himself, and finished by the pencil of truth. Let the honest and upright peruse and examine it, and then say whether they can give their votes to Mr. Sullivan in preference to the patriotic, virtuous and enlightened STRONG.
There are, undoubtedly, men in this Commonwealth, the success of whose private views depends on the election of Mr. Sullivan to the chief magistracy, and who absolutely disregard all evidence of his being a very improper candidate for that high office. As no man, however, is hardy enough to avow a state of mind so dangerous to the public weal, it has been admitted on all sides, that if the charges that have been made against Mr. Sullivan are true, HE OUGHT NOT TO BE SUPPORTED.
In the following animadversions, I shall speak as an individual, and in my own humble name, merely to prevent that wretched subterfuge, of which Judge Sullivan is so prompt to avail himself, that the charges against him are anonymous.
The Case of Patrick Conner.
Judge SULLIVAN says—Conner is imposed upon. He is a man quite debilitated by age and the manner of his living. In the year 1794, twelve years ago, Minturn and Champlin, of Rhode Island, employed Mr. Sullivan to commence a suit against Jonas Wilder, for a large debt, and gave orders to hold him to bail; he lodged at Conner's, who then did, as he now does, keep a tavern in Boston; and Conner became his bail. October 1795, judgment was recovered against Wilder for 2718 dollars 75 cents. He absconded. Conner was sued as bail, was defaulted in June 1797, and judgment rendered for the debt and interest. The cost taxed in the first suit, 30 dollars 67 cents; on the five years interest, 65 dollars 66 cents. On Mr. Sullivan's request, Minturn and Champlin agreed that on Conner's paying the cost, then 96 D 33 c., the execution might be discharged, if he could obtain an endorser for his note for ninety days. He did not obtain an endorser until the 20th of November 1797, and was then discharged if he had been allowed by the creditors' attorney, in October 1797, to go out of the prison yard, the bonds would have been rendered void. If the creditors' attorney would have done it for 100 dollars, he would have been a fool, and the debtor a greater fool not to have paid it. Chronicle of March 24th.
"Conner is imposed upon." That Judge Sullivan should still insult the good old man, whom he once so cruelly treated, must result, it is to be hoped, rather from the exasperated state of his mind than malice of heart. How is Conner imposed upon? His narrative is only revived—the story of this gentleman's misfortunes and the oppression he experienced were familiar to the town at the time, and have never been forgotten. I learnt it of many the last year; I went, this year, to Conner for confirmation. My application awoke the strong sense of paternal affection; he had lost a lovely child, and was torn from her in her last moments. Yet said the good man, as his agitation subsided, "I forgive James Sullivan, I wish no man any harm." He then related the circumstances published in the Repertory, and many others, which I suppressed at that time, to avoid any appearance of an address to the passions.
Mr. Sullivan, whose veracity I will place in its proper point of view in the next charge, gives an unsupported account of the import of Minturn and Champlin's letter. As a man of business, he undoubtedly has the letter on file. Why was it not produced. Theapse dixit of a party, and of a party so little as Judge Sullivan will soon appear, cannot counterbalance a solemn Deposition. Captain Conner having for many years kept a public house, in Boston, is much known in town and country. His probity and truth have never been questioned. To substantiate the publication in the Repertory, and secure myself from future difficulty, I applied formally to two Justices
* It must be remarked that these explanations are Judge Sullivan's, tho' he is spoken of in the third person. They immediately took the piece signed with his name, and certainly no person but the Judge could tell what he RECOLLECTS and what he does not.
† Since the above was published, Mr. Sullivan, probably finding this statement very insufficient, comes forward again in the Chronicle of yesterday (March 27) with a column and a half on the same subject. It is altogether unsupported and much of it false. To weaken the force of Mr. Conner's statement, he says, "he is an infirm man, unable to go from his chamber." To show how very loose indeed are this gentleman's assertions, I beg leave to add the following certificate.
Boston, March 27, 1806. I certify that my father was below, in his parlor, when the late deposition was applied for and taken, and that he is not confined to his chamber.
RICHARD C. CONNER. Mr. Sullivan wantonly brings in the name of Benjamin Whitman, Esq. feigningly for the mere purpose of abusing him. I am authorized by Mr. Whitman to state that what Mr. Sullivan says concerning his agency in applying for the deposition IS FALSE; and I declare it to be so. Thus it is Judge Sullivan defends himself—But he will hear more of this hereafter.
of the Peace, notified Mr. Sullivan of my intentions, and obtained Mr. Conner's Deposition, which follows.
I Patrick Conner of Boston in the County of Suffolk, Gentleman of lawful age, certify and say that sometime in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety seven, I became reponable, in what form I do not particularly recollect, to Minturn and Chaplin of New-York, for the debt of one Jonas Wilder jun. to the amount of three thousand dollars; James Sullivan Esq. Attorney General of this commonwealth, applied to me for the payment of this debt, as Attorney to the Creditors; not being able to pay it, I applied to one of the creditors, at Providence, I think Minturn for delay of payment; and he consented to allow me the term of ninety days; and that I might tell Mr. Sullivan so. Upon my observation that my telling him so would not be sufficient, he gave me a written paper directed to him; it was read to me, but I do not recollect the exact words of it—the purport however was to allow me the ninety days credit, as it was read to me. I returned to Boston and presented this paper to Mr. Sullivan; upon which he observed, that it said something and meant nothing—but one hundred dollars might be of some service—I then replied that I had not got a hundred dollars; that the thing was plain before him, and if I could not be indulged, I must go to prison. This was on a Saturday, and I was taken on Monday, and committed to prison; on the Saturday I mentioned to Mr. Sullivan that my daughter was very ill, and I did not expect she would live but a short time; and on the Wednesday following my daughter died. After her death I saw Mr. Sullivan in the street near the prison, and wished him to give me liberty to attend my daughter's funeral; he said no; for a hundred dollars you might have been.
P. CONNER. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. SUFFOLK ss. Town of Boston. This twenty second day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six, personally appeared before the subscribers two Justices of the Peace in and for the county of Suffolk, quorum unus , the aforesaid deponent, Patrick Conner, and after being carefully examined and duly cautioned to testify the whole truth and nothing but the truth, made oath that the foregoing Deposition, by him so subscribed, is true; taken at the request of John Park, Editor of a certain Newspaper printed in Boston aforesaid, called the Repertory, and publisher of a certain writing or paragraph in said paper of the eighteenth instant, to be preserved in perpetual remembrance of the thing. And we duly notified all persons living within twenty miles of this place of caption, we knew to be interested, in the writing or paragraph to which the said Deposition relates and especially, James Sullivan Esq. Attorney General of said Commonwealth; but he did not attend.
W.M. WETMORE, } Justices of the Peace JOHN PHILLIPS, } and Quorum. What can Mr. Sullivan say to this. He says Mr. Conner is imposed upon! that he is old and infirm! Mr. Conner was neither old nor infirm when the circumstances happened; the facts and the relation, to which he has now attested, were then notorious in Boston, and probably hundreds of people, now living, well remember, that when the funeral procession of this unhappy man's daughter passed up Court-Street it halted within the limits of the prison liberties, and the coffin was opened, that parental fondness might enjoy its last indulgence—that when crowds were shedding tears at the interesting and distressing spectacle, the story was brief, that the imprisonment of Mr. Conner was optional with Mr. Sullivan, and the popular indignation then expressed must now be fresh in the memories of hundreds.
But says Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Conner is old and infirm—his deposition is nothing—let me tell the story, and I will set the public right. If society is thus to be duped, then indeed has the most solemn testimony lost all its force. Mr. Conner said before the Justices, and under oath (I appeal to them) that he heard nothing of a new note being the condition of a delay of payment. It is incumbent on Mr. Sullivan to invalidate this declaration, not by his diffuse, endless assertions, but by plain testimony. Where is Minturn's letter.
With respect to the hundred dollars, Mr. Sullivan's explanation is not without plausibility. Admit, however, Mr. Conner's own account, that the payment of costs was proper before Mr. Conner could be released, and that that was the sum he required of Mr. Conner. What man, particularly a man of affluence, could, for the sake of ninety six dollars, drag a man from a dying child, when the demand would have been good against Mr. Conner at any other time? The inhumanity, which this story was quoted to illustrate, remains as glaring as ever. It ought to be stated, before I quit this subject, that Mr. Sullivan took all possible means to deprive me of my testimony, by menacing the Justices, protesting against their acting, and addressing a long and pathetic appeal to their compassion. They could not refuse me, though so scrupulous were they, that in Mr. Conner's deposition they suppressed every circumstance that was of an aggravating nature, observing that they should take only the essential points.
I come now to the case of Newbury or Newbarger, to which I stated in the Repertory of March 13th that Mr. Sullivan, acting as Attorney General, received 200 dollars. This charge brought from the Judge the following explanation.
The Case of Newbarger. Elias Newbarger, a Swede, died in this country, or at sea in an American vessel—Ebenezer Dorr, Esq. took administration on his estate. Six years ago, the Consul of Sweden petitioned the government for its authority to obtain the money, which Mr. Dorr was ready to pay when it should be demanded by any person authorized to receive it, in such a manner as to exonerate him. The General Court directed a proceed in the name of the Commonwealth, which was intended for the benefit of the heirs of the deceased to cause the money to be paid into the Treasury. Nearly nine thousand dollars were decreed by the Supreme Judicial Court to be paid by Mr. Dorr. This decree was made, after many arguments in the Supreme and Probate Courts. Mr. Dexter, Mr. Dorr's Counsel charged 300 dollars. The Judge of Probate allowed 200. Mr. Sullivan charged 200 by consent of the Consul's Agent. The money was paid to the Treasury, with a deduction of these sums stated. The whole was considered in the last session on another petition of that Consul, and the balance, deducting those sums, ordered to be paid to the next heir to the deceased, when he shall appear, and the judges are to decide on the proof of his relationship. The business was no part of the Attorney General's duty; nor has the State any interest in the property. Heirs will no doubt appear—These proceedings were in the Circuit Court.
I shall now proceed to unfold a tale, which will confound the most violent partisan in the ranks of Mr. Sullivan's friends, and shall substantiate every position by documents on record. Mr. Sullivan says, "the business was no part of the Attorney General's duty." The following is extracted from the Probate Records for this County, Book 99. p. 387.
Probate Records for the County of Suffolk, Lib. 99, p. 387.
This document may be seen in the Probate Records. Book 103. page 493.
When the Attorney-General is directed by Government to perform services not being part of his duty as Attorney-General, he applies to the legislature for a Resolve, authorising payment. But no such resolve as Mr. Sullivan here quoted to impose upon the Judge of Probate, was ever passed before or since the date of his receipt. This circumstance alone would blast any man's reputation forever—An Attorney-General avowedly claiming money by virtue of a resolve of the General Court, when no such resolve ever existed!!
Mr. Sullivan says, the State has no interest in the property. The Resolve of the General Court quoted above, says expressly that "this money in case of default of heirs of said intestate, doth and will belong to the Commonwealth." Such is the man who asks credit for his long story about Mr. Conner!!
Mr. Sullivan says "Mr. Dexter, Mr. Dorr's counsel charged 300 dollars. The Judge of Probate allowed 200. To prove the falsity of this I again refer to the account rendered and allowed at the Probate Office. Records vol. 103, p. 493—as follows
The account of Ebenezer Dorr, Administrator on the Estate of Elias Norbery, late of Boston, mariner, deceased, intestate.
Said Administrator charges himself with balance of former account agreeably to the decree of the Supreme Judicial Court of Probate, 12th March, 1805.
And prays allowances as follows, viz.
Allowed the Administrator for services and expenses on the appeal by consent of the Attorney Gen. 200
Paid Probate fees. 3
Cash paid James Sullivan, Attorney-General of the Commonwealth, on account of balance contra. 200
D. 403
Balance in the hands of Administrator to be paid the Treasurer of the Commonwealth. 8421 12

Boston, October 28, 1805.
EBENEZER DORR.
SUFFOLK ss. At a Probate Court held at Boston, on Monday, October 28, 1805, Ebenezer Dorr, Administrator, presented this account, produced vouchers, and was sworn, examined and allowed.
T. DAWES, jun. Judge Probate.
In Mr. Sullivan's receipt, he pretended to receive his two hundred dollars by virtue of a (fictitious) resolve of the General Court—In his vindication in the Chronicle of March 24th he says he charged his 200 dollars by the consent of the Swedish Consul's Agent! Shame! shame, where is thy blush!! How a most boldious and cunning man become bewildered, when he strays from the paths of honesty.
I have thus proved according to my promise, by public Records, open to the inspection of every man, that Mr. Sullivan has uttered falsehood upon falsehood, that he has obtained money fraudulently, and officially claimed the authority of government where he had it not.
I shall finish these remarks with confirmation of the last, and by no means the least charge—that— MR. SULLIVAN POCKETS PUBLIC MONIES, RECEIVED BY HIM FOR THE COMMONWEALTH. If this has been his practice, can any man in conscience vote for him to be our Governor? Let us first attend to the defence in Monday's Chronicle .
THE PUBLIC MONIES.
On the 21st January, 1802, the Attorney General settled his accounts with the General Court; a balance of 173 dols. 4 cts. was in his hands. The General Court ordered the treasurer to pay him 150 dollars more, to carry on civil suits which he is ready to account for.
This explanation when duly examined, affords another instance of Judge Sullivan's adroitness in imposture. The Resolve to which he refers the public is as follows:
RESOLVE No. LVII, January 1805.
Whereas a Resolve passed on the 28th of June, 1798, the sum ninety seven dollars and twelve cents, and a further sum of three hundred dollars, was advanced from the public treasury, to the Attorney General, to be expended for the service of the Government, in suits on its behalf; and whereas the said Attorney General has accounted for the same and there is now due to him a balance of 173 dollars, 81 cents for expenses of civil suits, in behalf of the Commonwealth, and a further sum may be necessary to enable him to defray similar expenses—Therefore
Resolved that the sum of 173 dollars, 81 cents, be paid him out of the public treasury to balance his account, and that a further sum of 150 dollars be advanced him to defray similar expenses on behalf of the Commonwealth, to be rendered an account of the same when required.
Aug. 2, 1805. Received of Ebenezer Dorr, two hundred dollars on the aforesaid decree and in virtue of a Resolve of the General Court.
J. Sullivan, Att. Gen. C.
The evident intention of Judge Sullivan in this reference is to impose on the uninformed a belief that, at this time, he had settled ALL his accounts with the Commonwealth. They must however be very ignorant who do not see, that this was a partial settlement, limited to certain objects. That he had merely accounted for sums granted him for specifick purposes. They must be ignorant indeed who do not know that there are many and various channels through which monies belonging to the Commonwealth flow into the Attorney General's hands, besides his grants from the Legislature. When he levies executions in behalf of the Commonwealth, and receipts for the money, where does he account for it?—But as my evidences in these cases are but private letters I proceed to another of a class substantiated by public records. And now I invite the attention of the electors of Massachusetts.
First, of the Attorney General's duty, as designated by law.
In an act, past Feb. 27, 1790, "making compensation to the Attorney General of this Commonwealth, for his services," the last enacted clause provides as follows.
"That in all bills of costs, in criminal prosecutions, before the Supreme Judicial Court in this Commonwealth, the sum of fifteen shillings, shall be taxed for the fees of the Attorney General, without any allowance of travel; and all fees thus received by the said Attorney General, SHALL BE ACCOUNTED FOR BY HIM ANNUALLY, WITH THE TREASURER OF THIS COMMONWEALTH."
This law shows what it is Mr. Sullivan's duty to do, when he receives fees in criminal prosecutions. The grand questions are, does he ever receive the fees in these cases—and does he account for them at the Treasurer's office.
Reference to Documents.
In the counties of Suffolk and Essex Mr. Sullivan has been cautious. For his management in distant counties take Hampshire for an example. In the Treasurer's books in that county, it will appear that the following fees were made up by the Attorney General on Indictments in the Supreme Judicial Court for that county—April term 1793, 15 dollars. September term 1795, 7-50. April term 1796, 22-50 April term 1797, 22. Sept. term 1797, 7-50. April term 1798, 20. April term 1799, 9-75. Sept. term 1799, 6-25. April term 1800, 17-30. May term 1801, 12-50. Sep. term 1801 16-25. Sept. term 1802, 2-50. May term 1803, 8-75. Sept. term 1803, 7-50. April term 1804, 15. Sept. term 1804, 6-25. Sept. term 1805, 16-35.
For these sums the Treasurer of the County has Mr. Sullivan's receipts. I have applied at the office of the Treasurer of this Commonwealth, to know whether Mr. Sullivan accounts for these monies, and whether they were deducted out of his salary, and am authorized to say that no accounts of fees have been rendered by Mr. Sullivan, nor has there been any deduction made in his salary, since Mr. Jackson has been Treasurer!! Now let Mr. Sullivan wince, and explain in volumes—these are proofs which convict him beyond all possibility of evasion. Any man who doubts can satisfy himself, and when this embezzlement ends, I know not.
Let the public decide whether I have not supported my charges; and if satisfactorily supported, can any citizen of Massachusetts consent to disgrace his State with such a Governor.
J. PARK.
Citizens of Maine!
The only objection made by the leaders of the opposition, to Governor STRONG is, that he does not approve of all the measures adopted by the general government; Will any friend to his country say that this is a reasonable objection?—The measures of Mr. Jefferson have brought the United States to the lowest point of degradation. The most distinguished democrats in Congress, and who have been loudest in his praise, are now his, most violent opposers; and declare by their speeches, that he is incapable of conducting the Office he now holds.
