Political Miscellany.
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
The Government paper at Washington calls upon all those opposed to the present administration, at this time, to "sheathe the sword," as it is termed; and adds, if their souls are inspired with true magnanimity, they will seize the present provident moment for atoning for past offences. What are the offences which the federalists are called upon to atone for?
Have they offended, by framing and carrying into effect the present constitution, in spite of the most determined hostility to it of the party now in power, who made use of all their efforts to prevent its adoption?
Have they offended, by the adoption of a system of finance, which has raised the public credit from the lowest ebb to its present flourishing state?
Have they offended, by enacting laws, and pursuing a line of conduct which rendered America respectable abroad, and the people flourishing, prosperous, and happy at home?
It is true, the federalists have never hired slanderers to abuse Washington; nor have any of them taken to their tables or to their hearts the wretch who stiled him "a patron of fraud."
It is true, the federalists have never encouraged "an intolerance as despotic as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions," by driving from office the war-worn soldier, and the faithful servant, on account of a difference in political opinion, in order to fill the vacancies with such as would lick the feet of power, and sing hallelujahs to a faction who have risen to consequence through mediums disgraceful to honor and probity.
It is true, the federalists have never exalted to one of the most important offices in the state, a man who had a principal hand in exciting an insurrection against the government and laws, the suppression of which cost nearly two millions of dollars.
It is true, the federalists have not done any of those things; and if, in neglecting to do them, they have given offence, it is an offence in which they glory.
The " provident moment " to which the government paper alludes, is the moment of the cession of Louisiana. The administration and their agents, from the commencement of their career in office, have constantly been in the habit of attaching to themselves the merit which belongs to others. But in the instance of the cession referred to, even with all their effrontery, it could hardly have been expected that they would have claimed any other merit on the occasion, than merely having an agent on the spot, to whom overtures were made by the French Consul, thro' his agent, Talleyrand, for the cession of Louisiana, after it was found that France could not take possession of it: that this is all the merit due to the administration, in this case, is well known and felt by the "Chief who now commands," and by every head of department in the government. But they hope as heretofore, on other occasions, to delude numbers; and to instil a belief that this measure has originated in their foresight and wisdom.
Much as has been said and written on the subject of the cession, the following paragraph, extracted from the Columbian Centinel, is worthy of attention:
"It is a fact, the American administration are indebted to Great Britain for Louisiana, and for all the praise they claim on the cession. Before the British King's message—which struck Bonaparte and Talleyrand, and Andreossi with so much astonishment—was received at Paris, Mr. Livingston experienced the most mortifying neglect. A minister from St. Marino could not have been held in greater contempt. The British message of the 8th March, reached Paris on the 11th, and on the 12th for the first time, M. Talleyrand condescended to be very civil to Mr. Livingston, and invited him to dine; assuring him at the same time, that notwithstanding the coldness shown of late, the first consul wished very cordially to be on friendly
terms with the United States. A variety of testimony can be adduced to support these facts. Lord Whitworth informed his court of the reconciliation; and letters from Americans at Paris and Bourdeaux have announced them in the papers. Before the receipt of this message too, France was taking all necessary measures to colonize Louisiana. A prefect was sent out—all the civil and military officers were appointed; and an army under Gen. Victor had actually embarked on shipboard at Helvoet, to sail for New Orleans. The patent spell of the message passed the expedition—War with Great Britain was seen to be inevitable—The colony could not be settled—the troops were disembarked—and the country sold to the United States some time in April. These are plain truths, which defy refutation. From them every reader can make deductions."
FROM THE WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
THE friends to the following petition, now in circulation thro' Prince George's county, Maryland, for the signatures of the citizens, sincerely hope there is no indecorum in thus giving it publicity before it is presented to Congress.
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled.
The petition of the inhabitants of Prince George's county, and state of Maryland, humbly sheweth, that your petitioners, feeling the right of freemen to the exercise of opinion, and the constitutional privilege of Americans to remonstrate to their rulers cannot forbear at this time to express their great sensibility and alarm at the very improper interference of many foreigners who have come among us, both in our political and religious institutions. The history of Europe for the last fifteen years is an awful admonition to American innocence, and warns us to be faithful to ourselves. While we make our grateful acknowledgements to Omnipotence for the singular exemption of this country from the miseries of Europe, and contemplate our unexampled prosperity, the reflecting mind retraces with horror the bloody footsteps of men who have migrated to this once happy land, disseminating the very principles which have produced those miseries. We have seen the unwearied exertions of such foreigners to arrange our people into parties, and inflame the public mind, by means of newspapers. We see the presses generally in such hands. We have seen the American nation insulted by indecent petitions at the very last session of Congress. We have seen their attempts to degrade our executive by dictatorial memorials on the subject of office. We have seen the whole mercantile class of our citizens branded with infamy. We have seen with considerable alarm their designs to overturn the system of jurisprudence in a sister state. We have seen with indignation and resentment their daring threats published in the Aurora paper, to deter free Americans from the exercise of the right of suffrage at a public election, and we see with inexpressible regret that such men have wormed themselves into a participation in office. The patient sufferance of native citizens under such a train of indignity and usurpation, your honors will believe is strong evidence of our forbearance and love of order. In the same spirit of humility we now ask from our government the constitutional remedy against such enormities. Your petitioners sincerely wish their complaints could stop here: But whilst the conduct of such foreigners, in these particulars only, might be accounted for in their acknowledged contempt—their known hatred for native Americans, and their desire to acquire wealth and influence, their attacks also upon the Christian religion, gives it like the parts of a great machine put together, the form and shape of a system. Such a system existed in miserable France, and could not be dissolved but with the blood of millions of men. We hold these truths to be incontrovertible, founded in natural reason and the sad experience of ancient and modern times:—That the United States ought to be governed exclusively by native citizens, and
that christianity, the religion of our ancestors, is the only sure basis of social order. It is a native citizen only who can feel the endearing obligations of the love of our country—It is a christian only who can feel the unceasing incentive to moral rectitude.
Solemnly impressed with these considerations, your petitioners resort to the great councils of our country to allay our apprehensions and to arrest the growing evils in such manner as in their wisdom may be thought best for the lasting prosperity of Americans; and your petitioners as in duty bound will pray.
The very judicious remarks of the National Egis on the ground of the present dispute in Europe, part of which has been copied into this paper, have exposed him to the foulest abuse from many who had boasted his abilities. Mr. Blake, however, has little to dread from the impotent malice of his antagonists, whose characters for malignity and falsehood have already been confirmed in the judgment of every honest man. The following is a specimen of the compliments now paid him by those who have for years loaded Federalists with the same, or worse abuse, selected from the elegant pages of the Aurora .— Repertory .
"The editor of the National Egis has involved himself in a new embarrassment, by the strange cast of thought which he has either fallen into through want of adequate information on the subject of the present war in Europe, or thro' that kind of accommodating, convenient, half-way, or any thing, or nothing disposition in which the study of the law in English books is too apt to involve young men. He is sadly mauled between the endearments of his enemies and chastizements of his friends!"
AN EXTRACT from the famous SEDITION LAW.
And be it further enacted and declared, That if any person shall be prosecuted under this act for the writing or publishing any libel aforesaid it shall be lawful for the defendant, upon the trial of the cause to give in evidence in his defence THE TRUTH of the matter contained in the publication charged as a libel.
Such was the law of the Federalists . The greater the truth the greater is the libel. The truth is no justification. You cannot give the truth in evidence. * If your witness was here on the spot, I should not suffer him to open his lips." Such is the law of the Democrats .
Agricultural.
From Dr. DEANE'S New-England Farmer.
Ciderkin. —When the cider-cheese has been pressed till it will run no longer, remove the pomace into the trough, at evening, and throw a sufficient quantity of hot water upon it; let it lie all night, and in the morning make a new cheese of it, and press out the liquor. If the pomace were ground over again, the ciderkin would be the stronger.
But the best way of managing ciderkin is, to take it directly from the press, give it a heating, or a gentle boiling, and take off the scum. This greatly prevents fermentation, and prepares it for long keeping. In the hottest part of the following summer, it will be one of the pleasantest liquors that can be procured from any country: and it might make a very good export to the Westindies; there being no danger of the bursting of the bottles, as there is when ciderkin is a stronger body.
A method of preserving Eggs. —Eggs keep very well when you can exclude air; which is best done by placing a grate in any running water, and putting eggs, as the hens lay them, in the upper side of the grate, and there let them lie covered with water till you are going to use them, when you will find them as good as if they had been laid that day. This way answers much better than greasing; as sometimes one place is missed, which spoils the whole egg: even those that are fresh never eat so well.
In places where people are afraid their
eggs will be stolen, they should make a chest with a number of slits in it, that the water may get in freely, the top of which being above the water, may be locked down. Mill-dams are the most proper for these chests or grates.
N. B. The water must continually cover the eggs, or they will spoil.
Miscellaneous.
DENNIS—the Critic.
His extravagant opinion of one of his tragedies, called " Liberty asserted " was for a time a subject of some amusement to his cotemporaries.
He imagined there were some strokes in it so severe upon the French nation, that they could never be forgiven, and that Louis 14th would never consent to a peace with England unless its author were delivered up as a sacrifice to national resentment.
Full of this apprehension, he applied to the Duke of Marlborough, who had formerly been his patron, to entreat his interest with the plenipotentiaries on this occasion.
The Duke, with great gravity, told him that he was sorry he had no power to serve him, as he really had no interest with any of the ministers at that time: but added that he thought his case not quite so desperate as he seemed to imagine, for that he had taken no care to get himself excepted in the articles of peace, and yet he could not help thinking he had done the French almost as much damage as Mr. Dennis himself!
Extract. —"At the distance of a league from Freyburg, in upper Saxony, in a wilderness of woods and rocks, is a remarkable hermitage, consisting of a church, an oratory, a steeple, a hall, a dining room, a kitchen, chambers, stairs, a cellar, a well, and other conveniences, all hewn out of a rock, even the chimney and steeple, notwithstanding the latter is fifty-four feet high. A work like this cannot fail of filling the mind of every spectator with astonishment: but when it is known that this work was wholly performed by only one man and a boy, the astonishment will be greatly increased.—Nature indeed had provided a chrysal spring, but the artist, by means of several channels, conveyed the water from the rock into small reservoirs; and he also fetched from distant parts of the mountain earth sufficient to make a small kitchen-garden. Every one must be pleased at the sight of this surprising curiosity; nor is it hardly possible to suppress a sigh for the fate of its unhappy, ingenious, and industrious architect; who, in the year 1708, in conveying back some young people, who had attended the consecration of his little church, was unhappily drowned in the river Sane, which runs near this hermitage, and on which, by the help of a small boat, he used every week to fetch provisions, and other necessaries, from the city."
Pun. —At a town meeting in this country, a man named Shote was appointed a hog constable, that is, an overseer of swine; and a punning neighbor attempted to make merriment on the occasion by the following couplet—
The wisdom of the town now stands confessed;— One Shote is chos'n to govern all the rest.
Sheep-Skins. —Tanned sheep-skins are in great demand, for a variety of uses; but for want of proper attention in taking off the wool, the skin is many times so far injured, as scarcely to be worth dressing. The following method will be found beneficial:—As soon as the skin is taken off the sheep's back, spread it on a horse or cow; and in six or eight hours, the wool will come off better than any other way. After the wool is off spread the skin on a pole, and let it hang in the shade, (as the sun is very detrimental to it) till convenient to send it to a tanner. This practice will render sheep-skins of four times the value they now are, and save thousands of pounds to the country in a short time.

THE public are respectfully informed that THOMAS CLARK, Bookseller and Stationer, has just received from the Patent and Family Medicine Store of Richard Lee & Co. New York, a fresh supply of the following VALUABLE MEDICINES, which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the Drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail price. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR; A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorders, in which children are liable; the Elixir is for persons of all ages, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it. From Luther Martin, Esq. Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
GENTLEMEN—I comply with your request in giving my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with unfeigned success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have required medicine necessary—I have myself used it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breath, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention. LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Alvan Healy, Bridge street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir, of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a fever and cough, caught several months ago—He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into wheezing sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper; he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give his public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine. Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, South Howard street, was greatly relieved of an asthmatic complaint of several years standing, by the first bottle of Hamilton's Elixir—and by the use of five bottles she has acquired a degree of ease and strength to which she had been long a stranger. She had taken balm of honey, Church's cough drops, and other medicines, without any benefit, and sometimes to the evident injury of her breathing.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea—frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—useful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Looseness of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Impurity of Blood, Hysterical Affections, Anemia, Squintness, Seminal weakness, Fluorulus (or white) Gleet, Violent cramps in the back or stomach, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the Stomach, Pain in the Limbs, Relaxation, Involuntary Emitters, Obsolete Gleet, Impotency, &c. &c. The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and feeding organs from that organ new health and vigor into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without inflaming its braces, without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the nervous system and the general habit, brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores that nutrition which immoderate evacuations have destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely above all recommendation in removing those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequence of difficult and painful labors, or of injudicious treatment therein. The most obstinate femoral gleet, and the most distressing cases of fluor albus in females, fall particularly under the province of this restorative—speedily yielding to its benign operation, and are radically cured by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organ. In cases of extremity, where the long persistence and obstinacy of disease has produced a general impairment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS. For the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent Fevers. Thousands can testify their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine had proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
VENEREAL DISEASE. Those whom this may unfortunately concern, are informed that a fresh supply has now been received of the PAIN-INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, Prepared by Dr. Leroux. The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrate its efficacy in expelling the Venereal poison, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy, its operation is so gentle that it is given to venereal patients in a state of venery, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system, or producing any of those effects inseparable from the common remedies. With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of disease, with copious directions for their treatment so as to secure a perfect cure in the shortest time, and least inconvenience possible.

THE Subscribers beg leave respectfully to represent—That they have associated for the purpose of making a Turnpike Road from Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, in the county of Cumberland, to the New Meeting House, in Bath, in the county of Lincoln—That the road as now traveled, is very hilly, circuitous and rocky—That the proposed Turnpike can in general be made over much better ground, in nearly a direct course; and will save four miles of travelling by reducing the distance from ten and a half miles to six and a half miles; and that instead of passing through a country almost uninhabited, will bring the passing to the center of a very growing commercial town.
The advantages resulting from Turnpike roads and a facility of communication between town and country, having already been recognized by the Legislature of Massachusetts, require no further comment.
Your Petitioners therefore pray that they with their associates may be incorporated for the purpose for which they have associated as aforesaid: And as in duty bound will ever pray. JAMES CURTIS, JVN. and 35 others.

To the Hon. the Senate, and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in General Court assembled.
THE petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Scarborough, in the county of Cumberland, and the towns of Pepperellborough and Buxton, in the county of York, humbly shew, That for more than two years last past they have associated together in the said town of Scarborough, for the purpose of the public worship of God, according to the faith and discipline of the Methodist Society.
That during the whole time aforesaid they have been a regular society, of the Methodist persuasion, kept up in said town, with which the public worship of God, has been regularly maintained and observed, and for whose benefit and instruction the public teachers of that society have been regularly employed; who have constantly officiated with said society, so far as was consistent with their other ministerial duties and functions.
That the numbers of said society are daily increasing, and (as they humbly hope) the cause of virtue and religion thereby prospered and promoted.—That some of the society who consider themselves as belonging thereto and entitled to the privileges thereof have been taxed for the support of the Congregational ministry in said town, and their money and property extorted from them for that purpose.—Considering themselves to be protected by the Constitution in their religious as well as their civil rights, and presuming and believing that your Honors are at all times ready to hear and relieve the complaints of your fellow-citizens, they therefore pray that your Honors would incorporate them into a religious society by the name and title of "The Methodist Society in Scarborough," with such powers and privileges as are usually granted to incorporate religious societies; and that provision may be made in the act of incorporation, for the admission of such other persons into said society as may hereafter incline to become members thereof, and as in duty bound will ever pray. TIMOTHY WATERHOUSE, and 63 others. Scarborough, April 15, 1803.
