FOR SALE
For Cash, or on Credit,
2000 Acres of LAND,
Situate, lying and being in the county of Bourbon, in the forks of Brush creek and Hinkston, near Millerburg, entered on a military warrant early in 1780, surveyed and patented in the name of Joseph Chew, and by said Chew, conveyed in trust to Robert and John Watts, of the city of New-York. The good quality and convenient situation of this tract of Land is so generally known, that a particular description would be unnecessary, as it is presumable those inclined to purchase will examine it.

For publishing by subscription,
AN ABRIDGEMENT
OF THE 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.
V. Lists shall be given of the titles of all the laws under the several heads of "Abridged"—"Repealed"—"Expired or Obsolete," and "Private or Local." Likewise, Tables of the rates of Duties, Post-Roads, and times of holding Courts throughout the United States.
The convenience of ONE book instead of SIX, the difference of the price (being only one third the rate of other editions,) and the superior advantage of having all the laws upon each particular subject, classed together, and brought into one view, must appear striking and important; particularly as this work will be more within the reach of every one, and will comprize whatever his duty or interest requires him to know of the "supreme law of the land."

M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, sore Throats and approaching Consumption.—Price 1 Dollar.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOP-ING 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 disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or touleness in the stomach and bowels.
The above valuable Medicine is sold in boxes containing forty Lozenges, at one Dollar per box.
DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE & EXTRACT OF MUS-TARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
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, head 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 flunness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.
Price, 1 Dollar.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN WATCH TOWER.
Proofs of the negotiation between a federal gentleman, authorized by the leading federalists at Washington, and Mr. Burr, to place himself in the Presidency at the late election.
Continued.
The extreme solicitude of Mr. Burr, to procure a certificate from the Reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn, stating that they had received their information concerning his negotiation with a federal gentleman from common report, plainly indicates in him a disposition to defend himself against the principle charge exhibited in the View, in the most conclusive manner. That he has not vindicated himself by testimony; that he has not given to the world other and better proof than his own bare denial of the negotiation, is solely attributable to his incapacity to do more. The charge is of so serious a nature, and, from the known character of Mr. Burr, so probable, as to have induced him to call into action every power of his mind to repel it. accordingly he availed himself of the only alternative that promised success. Mr. Burr had great reason to believe that the Reverend Mr. Abeel, if not Dr. Linn, had been informed of the negotiation by the negotiator himself. Still he deemed it possible to obtain from them a certificate purporting that common report had informed them of the negotiation. Even such a certificate would have been comforting to Mr. Burr, and no doubt published with great triumph. And such a certificate, knowing, as he did, the connection of Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn with the negotiator, was the only one for which he could ask. Hence those gloomy reflections which sealed his lips when the certificate was in fact twice refused, may be readily accounted for. But why did not Mr. Burr ask, when the Reverend Mr. Abeel boldly said we did not receive the information from common report, from whom then did you derive it? If the monitor within had not proclaimed to him his guilt, had he not negotiated with the federalists to place himself in the presidency, would he not have said, with an air of innocent triumph, if you received not your information from common report, from whom was it derived? I deny that the information is true; I defy the world to prove it to; I challenge investigation of it; I insist upon it that you had your information from common report, since the information has no foundation in truth. Would not a guileless man, accused of an offence so enormous, have demanded from whom the reverend gentleman had obtained their information? Mr. Burr, however, made no such demand; no such enquiry.
On the other hand, the refusal of Dr. Linn, and the Reverend Mr. Abeel to give the required certificate, evinces that they relied implicitly on the source of their information; that they had good cause to deem it correct; that they were in fact almost as certain that Mr. Burr had negotiated to place himself in the Presidential chair, as if they themselves had been the negotiators. The refusal is not, indeed conclusive proof of the negotiation, but it shews, in the clearest point of view, that the Reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn had to them satisfactory cause to believe that Mr. Burr had cordially received the negotiator and entered fully into his views.
That the Reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn were convinced that Mr. Burr had negotiated with a federal gentleman, will be still more apparent when we state who that gentleman is. We then declare that the federal gentleman who negotiated with Mr. Burr, and who was authorized to do so by the leading federal members of Congress, then assembled at Washington, is DAVID A. OGDEN, Esq'r. COUNSELLOR AT LAW. Mr. David A. OGDEN resides in this city, and is professionally connected with General Hamilton; we believe they are copartners. They, however, both transact professional business in one office. The Reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn are known to be intimate with Mr. David A. Ogden and General Hamilton. Hence when the two Reverend gentlemen stated to Mr. Burr that their information was not derived from common report, the allusion must to him have been very obvious, and the source of their information, though never that we know or by them mentioned, will not now appear to the public less so.
More than eight months ago we knew that Mr. Ogden was the negotiator; and it is now stated as an undeniable truth.
There is reason to believe that the negotiation with Mr. Burr was first planned in this city. This is, however, only a surmise, not very material in itself, but proper to be mentioned. On the 16th day of December, 1800, we received information that the electors of South-Carolina were chosen. From that day the success of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Burr was no longer doubted by either party. The last resource of the federal party was then to effect the election of Mr. Burr to the Presidency. Means were immediately devised, and we think in this city, to accomplish that object. On the 27th day of December, eleven days only after the South-Carolina news was received, Mr. David A. Ogden engaged a seat in the mail-stage for Philadelphia. It is probable that previous to his going to Philadelphia, he conferred with Mr. Burr on the subject of effecting his election to the Presidency by the efforts of the federal party, and that
he went to Washington to consult with the leading federal members of Congress on the scheme. It is believed that Mr. Ogden had no professional business to transact at Washington, and it is therefore difficult to conjecture what induced him, at that bleak season of the year, to visit the seat of government, unless to consult with the federal members of Congress on the project to negotiate with Mr. Burr on the terms of his election to the Presidency. We believe that Mr. Ogden went to Washington expressly for that purpose, and that he previously conferred with Mr. Burr on the design.
We have stated that Mr. Ogden left this city in the mail stage for Philadelphia on the 27th day of December. The following certificate, which proves that Mr. Burr and himself rode together, in the same mail, establishes the fact:
"New-York, Saturday, 27th December, 1800, one o'clock.
Mail Stage. Mr. Ogden, 1 seat to Philadelphia, £ 3 0 0 Col. Burr, 2 seats to Princeton, 3 15 0 I certify that the above is a true copy from the Stage books.
MATHIAS C. LYON."
Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden might have ridden together in the mail without preconcert; whether they did so or not every reader will judge for himself. To us this simple act speaks a pertinent and eloquent language: it indicates much.
Mr. Ogden did not remain long at Washington. While there he was authorized by the leaders of the federal party to negotiate with Mr. Burr concerning the terms on which that party proposed to elect him President of the United States. Thus commissioned, Mr. Ogden returned to this city early in January, 1801, had an interview with Mr. Burr, and submitted to him propositions which shall bye and bye be explained. To these propositions Mr. Burr assented.
Immediately after Mr. Ogden's interview with Mr. Burr, a letter was written by a leading federalist in this city, to an influential member of Congress at Washington, giving a full and accurate detail of the negotiation. The following letter, addressed to a gentleman in this city, and written at Washington at the time, fully explains the one penned by the leading federalist just mentioned:
"Washington, 29th January, 1801.
"It is not true that there is an inequality in the vote of South-Carolina favorable to Mr. Jefferson, and the Union, I fear will have deep cause to lament it. The prospects are far less bright and decisive than could be wished, which makes it more interesting that the real friends of Mr. Jefferson's election should be watchful against the intrigues which are in train for the purpose of defeating it.
"The following information comes to me through different channels in which implicit confidence may be placed.
"Mr. David A. Ogden of your city, when not long since at Washington, was authorized by some leading men on the federal side in Congress, to have a conference with Col. Burr for the purpose of ascertaining two things; first, 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? Second, what co-operation and aid he could and would afford towards procuring success to his own election, if the attempt should be made?
"Mr. Ogden having made a communication accordingly to Col. Burr, was answered by him in substance, that 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. That as to the second point, 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 a subsequent conference, he referred to a gentleman who he said would be entrusted to speak more particularly and was to be his confidential friend at the seat of government.
"The material points of this negotiation, though not with all the particulars mentioned above, have been communicated in a letter from a high federal character in your city, and one who has long had a predominant controul in his party, to an influential member of Congress.
"Thus is the well known wish of the people bartered to promote individual interest, and a man elevated to the great office of state who has been raised into notice by the well-earned popularity of him he would supplant.
"This comes to me in a shape which renders any communication of it embarrassing in the extreme, and requires particularly that the name of the negotiator should be a profound secret: but it appeared to me essential that you should be apprised of it the better to enable you to observe the future motion of the parties.
"Means of a very prompt and imperative nature must be adopted to counteract the scheme. You may remotely hint the possibility of some overtures from the profligacy and desperation of the party.
"Your delegation should be urged from different quarters to remain firm, regardless of temporary appearances or the opinions of wavering or timid minds. The federalists discover a concerted strongly indicative of some important object."
By adverting to the date it will be seen that
the above letter was written immediately after Mr. Ogden's negotiation with Mr. Burr, and a letter had been received at Washington from a leading federal character in this city, detailing the terms of that negotiation. It will also be seen that the letter is of a highly confidential nature, and that considerations of peculiar delicacy prevented its being made public to the world. Nothing but the importance of the subject, and the bold, unblushing denial of the negotiation by Mr. Burr, could have induced the gentleman who wrote it, to permit its publication. Nor was the writer's consent to give it publicity obtained until a letter was written to him by a friend of ours for that purpose, and to which the following is an answer:
"5th October, 1802.
"Dear Sir,
"I was absent on a visit and did not return till this morning after the mail had closed. I perceive the importance of the request which is made of you, but I am under restraints of peculiar delicacy.
"Our intelligent friends, would I think be satisfied with my permitting the substance of my confidential communication to you to be known. The critical circumstances under which I gave it to you, have justified me to myself. To give the exact terms of my letter, may involve me in very serious personal inconveniences; but if you have reason to expect collusion between Burr and Ogden, and that engagements of secrecy have been made by others, you had then better authorize a literal publication, and in case Ogden denies the facts stated therein, you are authorized from me to give the name of, as the high federal character I alluded to, as the writer of the letter to Washington, and on which mine was predicated. I made a memorandum at the time. I thought I had taken the date, but I well recollect it was in January. If Ogden should prevaricate and this becomes necessary, it would conform with my wishes that you signify to my name.
"I am able fully to establish the fact. I can hardly think he will lend his weight of reputation to countenance such extreme profligacy. But we ought to suppose nothing impossible when we consider the strong motives of party policy which may exist for disguising the transaction."
To be continued.
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
MONDAY, November 1.
This being the day appointed for the meeting of the legislature, a sufficient number of members of both houses appeared to form a quorum. In the house of representatives, John Adair was chosen speaker, Thomas Todd, clerk, Richard Taylor sergeant at arms, and Roger Divine, door keeper. After a short time both houses adjourned till to-morrow ten o'clock.
TUESDAY, November 2.
The house met. After some preparatory business, a committee was appointed to wait on the governor and inform him they are now ready to receive any communications he may think proper to make. At one o'clock the governor met both branches of the legislature in the representatives chamber, where he delivered the following
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
Whatever painful sensations I may have experienced on former occasions, when it became my duty to make known to the legislature the state of the commonwealth, and to recommend to their consideration such subjects as appeared to me to be important, I meet you on this occasion with no other solicitude than what results from an anxiety for our future prosperity. The present is a period of peace—A general peace among those nations, in whose destinies, however distant from us, we cannot but feel an interest, and that season of desolation, in which, though the oppressor has trembled on his throne the oppressed hath had his cup of misery running over, is passed away.
Harassed no longer by the apprehension that war may extend its baneful influence to our country, our situation peculiarly invites you to a deliberate and dispassionate review of the laws of the commonwealth, to amend the defective, to enact such as may be necessary, and to repeal the superfluous, as excrescences that deform the system, and needlessly embarrass the citizens. To multiply general laws, without an evident necessity, is indeed always to be guarded against, as tending to produce serious perplexities, in the attempt to remedy trifling inconveniences—but the legislative power, when directed by a comprehensive mind, which takes into its view the whole system of laws, and recognizes the relations and bearings of its several parts towards one another, affords facility and vigor to the administration of justice, and security and happiness to the people.
Not doubting but that you have severally turned your attention to the duties which devolve upon the general assembly, and come hither already prepared to transact the public business; I shall not trouble you with many observations.
In a system so new as that which was introduced by the act of 1798, to amend the penal laws of this commonwealth, it was not to be expected that nothing would remain to be provided for by the wisdom of subsequent legislatures. The civil relations in which the convicts in the penitentiary, shall be considered as standing, require some regulations. The
mode of recovering debts from them, and the extent to which the wives of such of them as may be married, shall exercise a right over the property of their husbands, ought to be pointed out and established.
Two escapes from the penitentiary having happened during the course of the present year, your attention will naturally be drawn to the causes of them, and to the means of providing against similar accidents. It appears to me to be absolutely necessary that some severe penalties should be inflicted on those who aid such escapes, or who countenance, relieve, or harbor the fugitives. Some method of punishing those who escape, more certain and summary, than what the law provides for, likewise appears to be desirable.
The laws respecting forgery and counterfeiting, will probably require to be reviewed & amended. The act of 1798, to amend the penal laws, makes certain provisions for punishing the crime of counterfeiting the notes of the bank of the United States, which undoubtedly ought to be extended to the notes of other public establishments of a similar nature. It likewise provides for the punishment of those who counterfeit the current coin, or aid in giving circulation to counterfeited money; but as cases have occurred, and will very probably again occur, of persons being detected in the midst of an unfinished process of counterfeiting, it would probably be advisable to annex adequate penalties to the mere possessing or being concerned in making or mending any puncheon, stamp, die, mould or other instrument, impressing the figure and resemblance of the current coin.
I would likewise submit it to your consideration, whether the 46th section of the act passed in 1796, concerning the examination and trial of criminals, does not require some very material alteration. It provides that all indictments and informations upon any penal act of assembly not affecting life or limb, shall be exhibited within one year after the commission of the offence, and not at any subsequent period. Proper as this regulation might have been at the time it was adopted; it is surely highly injudicious at the present period, when so few criminal offences admit of capital punishment.
You will regret with me the necessity which there appears to be, to guard by still further provisions against the frauds which are committed by the collectors of public monies.
When a securityhip becomes only a nominal pledge to the public; it should seem that some more substantial lien ought to be required from those who are intrusted with the collection of the public money.
The report of the commissioner appointed to view the turnpike road, and to direct the necessary repairs, informs me that the road is in extreme bad order; nor does there appear to be any probability of its being put into good repair in any reasonable time.
As there are defects in the law under which he was appointed, which preclude the recovery of the penalties designed to be inflicted on him, in that summary mode, which was probably in the contemplation of the legislature; your attention to the subject will be necessary, in order to remedy the imperfections of the law.
The relative importance of this state in the federal union, having been increased by the last census; and the act of Congress authorizing six representatives to be elected in Kentucky; the law passed at a former session, relative to elections, will require some amendment in order to accommodate it to this object.
I cannot conclude this address, fellow citizens, without reminding you of the various incentives to gratitude towards an over-ruling Providence, with which our situation abounds. The earth still pours out for us lavishly products of every kind: our population, our agriculture, our mechanic arts, and our commerce by the Mississippi, are still in a progressing and improving state.
Vessels built on our own rivers, calculated for transporting our commodities to the most distant quarters of the globe, afford us a flattering view of the resources and future greatness of our country.—Harmony prevails among our citizens, and confidence exists in the national government.
The prospect of a plentiful supply of salt by recent discoveries of salt-water in numerous parts of the state, is well calculated to frustrate that disposition to monopolize, which makes war on the necessities of the people, and affords an example of the tendency which public evils sometimes have to work their own cure, and which is in this instance the more grateful, as the regular supply of this necessary of life, has not been protected by our laws from the influence of avaricious speculation, with the same jealous foresight which hath guarded against ungenerous attempts to raise the price of many other articles of subsistence.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE TEAR OF BEAUTY.
See down Maria's blushing cheek The tear of soft compassion flow; These tears a yielding heart bespeak— A heart that feels for others' woes.
May not those drops, that frequent fall, To my fond hope propitious prove? The heart that melts at pity's call Will own the softer voice of love.
Earth ne'er produc'd a gem so rare, Nor wealthy ocean's ample space So rich a pearl—as that bright tear That lingers on Maria's face.
So hangs upon the morning rose The chrysal drop of heaven refin'd; A while with tender lustre glows— Is gone—and leaves no trace behind.
ANECDOTE.
DUELLING , is one of the few evils which may be supposed to increase at the close of a war. Men who are in earnest, may not easily get out of the habit of fighting. Some considerable time ago, when the king of France published an edict against duelling, one of his officers exclaimed, "Mighty fine! the king has put down gaming and stage playing, and now he wants to put down duelling. How the devil does he think gentlemen are to divert themselves?"
PROPOSALS
By Daniel Bradford,
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
THE MEDLEY;
OR MONTHLY MISCELLANY.
I. THE MEDLEY shall be published in Numbers—one of which shall be ready for delivery on the first Tuesday in every month; and regularly forwarded to subscribers as directed.
II. Each Number shall contain Twenty-Four Pages, duodecimo ,—Printed with a Neat Type, on Good Paper.
III. The Price to Subscribers will be One Dollar per Annum, to be paid at the expiration of six months—or Seven Five Cents, at the time of subscribing.
The first Number will issue on the 4th January 1803.
The design of this Publication being to combine Amusement with Useful Information, it will be the study of the Editor, by the variety of his subjects to attain that object, and suit the taste of each Reader.
It is expected that Literary Characters will accept the opportunity this Work will afford them, of rendering the results of their lucubrations useful to the Public.
Besides Original Essays, the MEDLEY shall contain Selections, in Prose and Verse, from the most approved Authors.
As "The proper study of Mankind is Man," Biographical Sketches of those whom talents or patriotism have rendered conspicuous, shall be frequently introduced.
The advantages resulting from the publication of a Literary Miscellany in a Country where the circulation of Valuable Works is not extensive, must be obvious—The Editor has only to add, that Industry in the collection of materials, and particular attention to the merit and variety of Extracts, shall not be wanting on his part to entitle the MEDLEY to the patronage of the Public.
THE AUTHOR of the KENTUCKY ENGLISH GRAMMAR, presents his most grateful acknowledgements to his friends and the public in general, for the notice which they have been pleased to take of his humble attempt to facilitate the grammatical instruction of youth, and hopes for a continuance of their patronage to a second edition, which he has just published with considerable improvements, in conformity to the original plan.
Those who wish to procure copies of the new edition, may be supplied at this Office, at Mr. Leavy's, and Mr. Jordan's stores in Lexington.
