LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES,
OR,
A complete Digest of all such Acts of Congress, as concern the United States at large.
By Wm. GRAYDON, Esq.
CONDITIONS.
I. This work shall commence with the laws passed at the first session of Congress, held after the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and end with those that may be enacted at the present session.
II. The whole will be comprised in one large octavo volume, of at least six hundred pages, and perhaps considerably more: it being impossible, till after the present session of Congress, to pronounce with accuracy.
III. It shall be printed on good paper, and type, and well bound, at FOUR DOLLARS. No money will be required till the work is completed, of which notice will be given—N.B. It is at present in considerable forwardness.
IV. The Constitution of the United States shall be prefixed, and an Appendix added, containing all existing Treaties, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Rules and Articles for the government of the Army, and the Ordinance for the government of the Territory North West of the Ohio.

THIS valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, heat ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN WATCH TOWER.
Proofs of the negotiation between a federal gentleman, authorised by the leading federalists at Washington, and Mr. Burr, to place himself in the Presidency at the late election.
Concluded.
The public will now be anxious to know the name of the "high federal character" who wrote the letter from this city, to an influential member of congress, detailing the negotiation. That name is still a mystery. It is eminently due to the gentleman to whom the two letters above were addressed, and who has kindly put copies of them into our possession, to say that he has not communicated to us the name of the "high federal character." Yet we are in possession of a variety of facts, derived from a multiplicity of correct sources, which do more than enable us to conjecture, with considerable accuracy, the name of the "high federal character." We therefore state it as our decided opinion, and on which we think the public may safely rely, that General Hamilton is that "high federal character." His connection with Mr. Ogden, the negotiator, is known to be of the most intimate and endearing kind. His knowledge of the negotiation, will not therefore be doubted. He is also known as having long held "predominant control" in the federal party. The actual influence of General Hamilton in that party corresponds precisely with the description given in the two letters. Besides, there are other corroborating circumstances which irresistibly impose upon us the belief that General Hamilton is the "high federal character" designated. We will mention a powerful one. During the sitting of the Supreme court of this state, at Albany, in the winter of 1801, Josiah Ogden Hoffman, esq. invited in that city, a party of gentlemen to dine. General Hamilton, Judge Troup, Judge B. Livingston, and Judge Pendleton, all of the city of New-York, were of the party.
After dinner General Hamilton declared, openly, that Mr. Burr had intrigued with a federal gentleman to effect his election to the Presidency. When spoken to on the boldness of the declaration, General Hamilton added that he could prove it, or it could be proved in a court of justice! The negotiation was there made no secret of: General Hamilton made the declaration aloud and without reserve.
There are other facts in our possession which authorise us to state, unequivocally, that General Hamilton is the "high federal character" alluded to in the two letters. If he is not he will deny it publicly; if he is, he has too much honor and integrity to disavow an act of his own.
If these facts stand in need of corroboration, there are concurrent circumstances in abundance, which strongly indicate the existence of the plot. The letter dated Washington 29th January 1801, states that Mr. Burr observed, in reply to the second proposition of the negotiator, to wit, "what co-operation he could and would afford towards procuring success to his own election? That the federalists might be assured that New-York and Tennessee on a second ballot would vote for him, and that probably New-Jersey and one of the southern states might be induced to do the same." Such was the answer of Mr. Burr to the second proposition of the negotiator.
The negotiation was commenced in the city of New-York about the 15th of January 1801. The letter of General Hamilton to a leading federal member of congress, detailing the negotiation, was written about the 20th of the same month. That which gives the substance of General Hamilton's letter, is dated Washington, January 29th 1801. The negotiation was complete before January 20th. On or about the 24th of January, Mr. Burr left this city for Albany, to take his seat in the state assembly. The same day or the day after, Mr. William P. Van Nels, who was not a member of the legislature, followed Mr. Burr to Albany. On the arrival of Mr. Burr, enquiries were made of him touching the presidential election. To every question he answered with the utmost confidence and cheerfulness, that Mr. Jefferson would certainly be elected, and that no opposition could or would be made in the house of representatives. He uniformly treated the idea of material opposition in the house as extravagant and chimerical. This was precisely the conduct of Mr. Burr at Albany. And yet he knew that he had negotiated with Mr. Ogden to effect his own election to the presidency, and that in consequence of that negotiation, every effort within the compass of the federal party, would be exerted to accomplish it. This conduct of Mr. Burr at Albany, was such as every consummate and unprincipled intriguer would adopt. It was a matter of importance to him to prevent the transmission of letters from Albany to Washington, urging firmness and perseverance in our representatives, in favor of Mr. Jefferson's election; and Mr. Burr vainly imagined his placid deportment calculated to compass that object by allaying reasonable fears and composing alarming apprehensions. His intrigues were, however, perceived by a few individuals at Albany, and his representations were therefore little heeded.
Let us now view the conduct of his very confidential friend Mr. William P. Van
Nels, of this city, who accompanied Mr. Burr to Albany. Those who have read the "Narrative" will perceive that this is the same gentleman who negotiated for Mr. Burr the suppression of the History of the Administration of Mr. John Adams.
While Mr. Burr was openly declaring at Albany that there was no foundation for apprehension concerning the election of Mr. Jefferson, his private and confidential friend, Mr. William P. Van Nels, observed, in secret, a conduct the very reverse. Mr. Van Nels was unremittingly employed in furthering the negotiation of Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden. While at Albany, he wrote a letter to our representative, Mr. Edward Livingston, then at Washington, representing it as the sense of the republicans of this state, that, after the first or second vote in the house Mr. Jefferson should be given up!! This corresponds with Mr. Burr's reply to the second proposition of Mr. Ogden, the negotiator, namely, that "on a second ballot, N. York would vote for him!" We do not assert that Mr. Van Nels wrote the letter to Mr. Livingston on vague report; it is stated as an undeniable fact, one which, if not true, is easily of refutation. The name of Mr. Van Nels, the writer, and of Mr. Livingston the receiver of the letter, is mentioned; both of whom live in this city.
Mr. Burr also replied to the second proposition of Mr. Ogden, that "on a second ballot New-Jersey might be induced to vote for him." What covert measures Mr. Burr took to endeavour to effect this, is not known; but this is certain that Mr. Van Nels wrote a letter to an influential republican who resides at Poughkeepsie, urging him in strong terms to procure letters from New-Jersey, advising the New-Jersey republican members in congress to drop Mr. Jefferson on the second ballot in the house.
Such were the proceedings of Mr. Burr and his confidential friend Mr. Van Nels at Albany, proceedings which exactly accord with the terms of the negotiation concluded between Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden.
Nor were the confidential friends of Mr. Burr silent or inactive in this city. Mr. Matthew L. Davis, one of the depositors of the secrets of Mr. Burr, and on this account only deserving of notice, ran about from republican to republican during the balloting in the house, declaring that the republicans in congress acted very improperly in not giving up Mr. Jefferson, averring that they must eventually abandon him, that persevering opposition would injure the feelings of Mr. Burr, and that no one could foresee the consequences of such stubborn conduct if Mr. Burr should at length be elected! It is probable that Mr. Davis at that time was apprised of the negotiation between Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden.
Our wonder at the pertinacity of the federalists in the house of Representatives will henceforward cease. The cause of it may now be clearly perceived. That opposition to Mr. Jefferson in the house, which alarmed the country and brought it to the brink of civil war, was founded on the negotiation concluded between Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden. Six and thirty times was the tranquillity of the country endangered to elevate an intriguer to office contrary to the known will of a majority of the people. Americans! you have infinite cause to be thankful that the plot is discovered.
The federalists in the house of representatives relied on the declaration of Mr. Burr to Mr. Ogden that "on the second ballot New-York and New-Jersey would vote for him." Hence at every ballot, they flocked round the ballot boxes of those two states, and with extreme solicitude enquired how the votes stood? They were particularly attentive to the ballot box of New-York. For it was very reasonably supposed that if the state of New-York gave way, others would follow the example. On the second ballot, however, that state as well as New-Jersey, was found faithful. Still were the federalists in hopes, placing much confidence in the promises and machinations of Mr. Burr. Finding that they were twice disappointed, they yet persevered, deeming it probable that the republican representatives, on whose infidelity Mr. Burr had made his calculations, intended only to exhibit a shew of firmness previous to an unqualified surrender. In this vain hope (but one though, by the bye, not entirely without foundation) they continued to vote until it was found, from whatever cause, that no impression could be made on those republican members on whose unfaithfulness Mr. Burr had predicted all his expectations, and entered into the negotiation. The contest was then, and not till then, abandoned by the federalists.
We come now to notice the propositions submitted by Mr. Ogden to Mr. Burr, and his answers thereto. On the correctness of these propositions and answers the public may implicitly rely; and should they be contradicted either by General Hamilton, whom we say is the writer of the letter from this city to a leading member of congress at Washington, or by Mr. Ogden, the negotiator, the reader will perceive that the gentleman, who has done the country so much service as to communicate those propositions and answers, stands pledged virtually to "prove the facts." We are convinced, however, that neither the one nor the other can or will be done.
The first proposition of Mr. Ogden to Mr. Burr is this: "What would be the conduct he would observe, if elected by the means of the federalists, in respect to certain cardinal points of federal policy?" To which Mr. Burr made the following reply: "As to the first point, it
would not be proper or expedient to enter into explanation—that the federalists must rely upon the situation in which he would be placed, if raised to the presidency by their votes in opposition to the adverse party."
This answer is as full and satisfactory, for a first interview, as could possibly have been expected. Mr. Burr, aware of his peculiar situation, says—but in such a manner as not in the least to indicate a repulse—that it would "not be proper to enter into explanation."—That is to say, into minute details; and that such "explanation," or minuteness, would not be "expedient," for two reasons, first, because of the delicacy of his situation, and second, that so far as it was proper to satisfy the federalists as to "certain cardinal points of federal policy," general remarks in that stage of the negotiation would be sufficient. He then makes those general remarks, says, "the federalists must rely upon the situation in which he should be placed if raised to the presidency in opposition to the adverse party." Here Mr. Burr is too explicit to be misunderstood. If raised to the presidency by the federalists, he should owe his elevation to them, and consequently that the cardinal points of his administration should accord with federal policy. This is a plain and fair interpretation of Mr. Burr's reply to the first proposition, which is stronger, and concedes more to Mr. Ogden than could well have been expected on a first interview.
But a second conference was had with Mr. Ogden in which Mr. Burr "referred to a gentleman who he said would be intrusted to speak more particularly, and who was to be his confidential friend at the seat of government. "This confidential friend was intrusted" by Mr. Burr to complete the details of the general principles of the negotiation, to which Mr. Burr had previously and fully assented.
Mr. Burr's reply to the second proposition of Mr. Ogden clearly elucidates the meaning—if any elucidation be necessary—of his answer to the first. The first proposition is in these terms: "What co-operation and aid he could and would afford towards procuring success to his own election, if the attempt should be made?" To which Mr. Burr replied, "The federalists might be assured that New-York and Tennessee on a second ballot would vote for him, and that probably New-Jersey and one of the southern states might be induced to do the same." In this reply is contained not only his assent to be held up by the federalists in opposition to Mr. Jefferson, but a positive assertion, alike condescending to himself and to the federal negotiator, that on a second ballot, New-York and Tennessee would vote for himself, and probably New-Jersey and a southern state might be induced to do the same." What is this but entering fully into the views of the federal negotiator, Mr. Ogden, and holding out to him the most alluring temptations to oppose the election of Mr. Jefferson, and promising him indeed, in the event, the completest success? Nay, does not Mr. Burr's reply import that he meant to use the most refined arts of seduction to effect his purpose? He says "that probably New-Jersey and a southern state might be induced to do the same." The word "induced" is uncommonly pertinent; has a peculiar significance, when uttered by a man negotiating with an antagonist to betray his cause! How were the two states to be induced to vote for Mr. Burr? Certainly not by the constituents of those representatives who were believed to be ardent for the election of Mr. Jefferson. For we witnessed an enthusiasm among the republicans at that period ready to unleash the sword, if necessity required, in favor of his election. No, the inducement was to be of that peculiar kind which belongs exclusively to Mr. Burr; it was to employ undue means to allure the representatives of the country from the discharge of their duty.
But how came Mr. Burr to be so certain that New-York would, on a second ballot, vote for himself? Had this state manifested a preference for Mr. Burr? Certainly not. The state of New-York would have been among the last in the Union to have made choice of Burr in preference to Mr. Jefferson. And so conscious was Mr. Burr himself of the predilection of this state for Mr. Jefferson, that the restless current of public opinion compelled him to manifest an assumed exterior, indicative of affection to Mr. Jefferson, at the very moment he was secretly negotiating with Mr. Ogden to supplant him. But we are treading on delicate ground. We draw the curtain over a transaction on which we cannot dwell with safety, not to Mr. Burr, but to others.
How then stands the account? First, that Mr. Burr negotiated, as stated in the "View of his political conduct," with a federal gentleman to effect his election to the presidency. Second, that Mr. David A. Ogden of this city was the negotiator. If it be said that because Mr. Ogden has not certified this himself it will not be believed; we answer that it cannot be expected that he would do so, for two reasons; first, because his own connection with Mr. Burr in the novel transaction would necessarily forbid it; and second, since his doing so, would at once heal that division, from which the federalists expect to profit. But it is nevertheless as true that Mr. Ogden did negotiate with Mr. Burr, as if he had made an affidavit of the negotiation; and should Mr. David A. Ogden publicly deny it, a thing by no means expected, his denial shall be disproved by testimony that will silence even calumny itself, and impose conviction on the most incredulous and incorrigible Burrite.
Third, Mr. Ogden went from this city to Washington, to consult with the leaders of the federal party, at the seat of government, on the 27th of December 1800—Mr. Burr and himself rode together in the mail. Mr. Ogden was authorised at Washington to negotiate with Mr. Burr the terms on which the federal party proposed to elect him to the presidency. Mr. Ogden returned with great expedition. About the 15th of January 1801 Mr. Ogden completed his negotiation with Mr. Burr. The connection between Mr. Ogden & General Hamilton is so well known in this city, as to warrant the assertion that the one could hardly be possessed of a political secret without communicating that secret to the other. It will be believed, as highly probable, that Mr. Ogden informed General Hamilton of the negotiation. About the 20th of January, we say that General Hamilton wrote the letter on which the one here-in inserted is predicated, and which is dated "Washington January 29th 1801." This letter, which we ascribe to General Hamilton, details the negotiation, the propositions submitted to and the answers of Mr. Burr. If General Hamilton is not the writer of that letter, if he is not that "high federal character" who has long held "predominant control" in the federal party, he will of course deny it. But we are persuaded he cannot. If, however, he should disavow having written a letter of that nature, a thing not anticipated, then will the writer's name be divulged by the gentleman who communicated the letter from Washington giving an account of the negotiation, and that negotiation as completely brought home to Mr. Ogden as if the letter which we ascribe to General Hamilton had been written by him.
Fourth. It appears that Mr. Burr, on the first interview with Mr. Ogden, entered fully and cordially into his views, and assented to his propositions: & that accordingly, while he himself affected to disguise his own projects at Albany, his confidential friend, Mr. Van Nels, was writing letters, requesting one of our representatives, as the sense of the republicans of this state, to drop Mr. Jefferson and vote for Mr. Burr; and that this conduct on the part of Mr. Van Nels corresponds with the terms of Mr. Burr's negotiation with Mr. Ogden.
Such is the state of this deep-laid plot, such the agents who have been active in it; and happy indeed is it for the country that it is at length brought to light.
We have much more to say: we have still a very powerful corps de reserve of testimony. But as the evening grows late, and the development must appear according to promise, we must close for the present with inviting, in the late language of Mr. Burr 'AN UNION OF ALL HONEST MEN' to save the country.

Lexington, November 16.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New Orleans, dated 30th August, to the Editor.
"We have nothing foreign here, but what you know—The possession of this country by the French is considered still as uncertain and doubtful; and the government here declare they know nothing about it at present."
"P.S. Delacey, formerly in Lexington, has been caught, connected with Bowles, and is here closely confined in chains."
We have been politely favored with the following,
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability and information at New Orleans, dated September 12, 1802.
"I think it my duty to inform you of an event that is interesting to the people of America. The Intendant of this place yesterday very unexpectedly declared his intention of shutting the port, and passed his letter of office to the Governor to that effect, to take place to-morrow."
Another from the same—Sept. 25.
"I informed you by last post, that the Intendant had passed his letter of office to the Governor, for the immediate shutting of the port. I believe this to have been done, but from the opposition made to the measure by the governor and other officers of the colony, it has been postponed until the arrival of the next courier from Spain, which we may now hourly expect."

(Br Request.)
TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF KENTUCKY.
The petition of the Subscribers respectfully sets forth,
THAT whereas by the third sentence of the seventh article of the Constitution, it is expressly provided, that the legislature shall pass laws to permit the owners of slaves to emancipate them, saving the rights of creditors, and preventing them from becoming a charge to any county in this commonwealth.
AND whereas some of your petitioners believe slavery to be not only a political evil, but a moral wrong, yet conceive a gradual emancipation preferable to any other mode, and would therefore freely yield their expectant property in the future offspring of their female slaves, provided the same were authorized by law. Your petitioners therefore pray that you will take the premises into consideration, and provide by a general law a mode by which all such, who may be disposed to emancipate any slave or slaves to them belonging, shall proceed to effect the same in conformity to the above recited sentence of the constitution.
AND your petitioners further pray, that your honorable body will also provide by a general law, a mode by which such as wish to secure the rights of human nature, to the future increase of their female slaves, may proceed to effect that object. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.
A BILL Concerning the Emancipation of Slaves, for the consideration of the Public.
WHEREAS it is represented to the General Assembly, that sundry citizens of this Commonwealth would commence the laudable and benevolent work of abolishing slavery, by emancipating their own, either directly or indirectly, of their voluntary will and pleasure, provided there was a law of a general nature, authorising a mode to be pursued to effect the object:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly, That it shall be lawful for any person who may be inclined to emancipate any
slave or slaves to him or her belonging, to register the same with the clerk of the court of Appeals, or the clerk of any inferior court of record in this commonwealth, together with the age of said slave or slaves respectively, and the age to which the master or mistress intends such slave or slaves to continue in slavery or servitude, in a book to be kept by the clerk for that purpose. Which slave or slaves, so registered, on arriving at the age of service therein mentioned, is hereby declared free, in like manner as if he, she or they had been born of free parents.
And be it further enacted, That any citizen in this commonwealth holding slaves, shall be at liberty, by his last will and testament, executed with the solemnities necessary by that mode of conveyance to transfer personal chattels, to emancipate any slave over the age of ten years, and under the age of thirty-five years, without giving any security for the maintenance of such slave; or by such last will and testament to declare the ages at which the increase or issue to be born, of any female slave, then the property of the testator, shall be emancipated, or to emancipate any slave under ten years of age and over thirty-five, on subjecting so much of his estate to the charge of maintaining such slaves, as in the opinion of the court, where such will shall be recorded, will be sufficient to prevent them or any of them from becoming chargeable to such county.
Provided however, That this act shall not be construed to affect the rights of creditors, or to exonerate any person or persons from all costs or charges which may be incurred by any county in this commonwealth, on account of any slave or slaves, by him, her or them so emancipated.
And be it further enacted, that it shall and may be lawful, for any person who may be disposed to secure the rights of human nature to the future offspring of any female slave or slaves to him or her belonging, to register such female slave or slaves with the clerk of the court of Appeals, or the clerk of any inferior court in this commonwealth, in the aforesaid book for that purpose, together with the name and place of residence of such master or mistress, and the express intention of the master or mistress, at the time of registering the same. In consequence of which all the future offspring of such slaves, so registered, is hereby declared freeborn, and shall be entitled to all the immunities & franchises, as free white citizens (except as to excepted in the constitution) on arriving to the following ages, viz. males 25 years and females 21.
And be it further enacted, That if any person or persons, shall either directly or indirectly move, or cause to be moved, any female slave so registered, or the offspring of such slave out of this state, with an intent to evade the object of this act, such person, or persons so offending, shall forfeit and pay one hundred pounds for each, he, she or they shall so move, to be recovered by action of debt, in any court of record in this commonwealth, by any person suing for the same, one half to the commonwealth, and the other for his own use and benefit. And such slave is hereby moreover declared free to all intents and purposes, in like manner as if he, she, or they had been free born.
This act to commence &c.
The death of General La Fayette is mentioned in some of the French Journals.
PHILADELPHIA, November 2.
In consequence of the favorable state of the city, and the recent happy change of weather, the Board of Health, in session this morning, determined on immediately issuing Bills of Health, to vessels leaving this port for foreign countries.
WASHINGTON CITY, November 1.
Authentic information has been received at the seat of Government, that the report lately circulated stating an intention on the part of the officers commanding certain French frigates to land a number of Negroes on the coast of South Carolina, is entirely without foundation; and that measures have been taken to punish the author of the report; relying on the most authentic information, we feel it our duty farther to state, that the savage order said to have been issued by the commanding General of the Militia of that state, directing in the event of those negroes being landed as reported, that not a one of them should be made prisoners, but that they should be indiscriminately put to death, or in other words, inhumanly butchered or massacred, is also false, malicious and groundless, there not having existed the slightest pretext for that calumnious report.
NEW-JERSEY ELECTION.
Events have confirmed our last statement on this subject. The republicans have a majority of one in the council, and the federalists a majority of one in the assembly. The legislature convened on Tuesday last, when William Coxe federal, was elected speaker, by a majority of one over Peter Gordon, the republican candidate. In council, John Lambert, republican, was elected vice-president by the same majority.
The Legislature of New-Jersey, met in joint meeting on the 28th ult. every member being present. The votes were,
For Governor, Richard Stockton, 26 Joseph Bloomfield, 26
For Senator, Aaron Ogden, 26 John Condit, 26 No choice being made, it was unanimously agreed, that the joint meeting should rise. No day is at present thought of for another meeting; it must depend on circumstances.
Mr. Lucas, Republican, is elected a Representative to Congress from Pennsylvania. It is ascertained that the whole eighteen representatives from that state are republican.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
AN INCIDENT IN HIGH LIFE.
THE Bucks had din'd, and deep in council sat; Their wine was brilliant—but their wit grew flat: Up starts his lordship, to the window flies, And lo! "A race! a race!" in rapture cries: "Where?" quoth Sir John: "Why, see! two drops of rain Start from the summit of the crystal pane: 'A thousand pounds! which drop with nimblest force Performs its current down the slippery course!' The bets were fix'd; the dire suspense they wait For victory, pendant on the nod of fate. Now down the sash, unconscious of the prize, The bubbles roll—like pearls from Chloe's eyes. But ah! the glittering joys of life are short! How oft two jostling seeds have spoil'd the sport! Lo! thus attraction, by coercive laws, Th' approaching drops into one bubble draws. Each curs'd his fate, that thus their project cross'd; How hard their lot, who neither won nor lost!
ANECDOTE.
A gentleman lately observed in company, that a deceased friend, a lawyer, had left behind him very few effects. I can easily believe it, said a female wit present, he had very few causes.
