FROM THE NEW-YORK REPUBLICAN WATCH-TOWER.
Observations on the Murder of JOHN PIERCE.
WORTHY OF RECORD.—On Saturday last (26th ult.) our republican fellow-citizens, headed by the spirited & patriotic Capt. Hall, seized ten cartloads of fresh meat, just from the shambles, and destined for the British ships, whose officers have MURDERED PIERCE, and in triumph, and amid the shouts of thousands, conveyed it to the Alms House. All classes of our citizens ought to enter into resolutions not to give these British ships any comfort.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Quere—Has Pierce left a family?—If he has, it is submitted to the General Committee of the Republican Citizens, whether arrangements ought not to be made for their support?
ATROCIOUS MURDER.
Republicans attend to a Malignant Tale.
One of your fellow-citizens, JOHN PIERCE, has been basely and inhumanly murdered by the English, at the Hook.
Who are the friends and apologists of the government whose officers have been guilty of this cruel Murder?—They are only to be found among the FEDERALISTS and TORIES, who now oppose the Republicans in their present election.
Among the associates and connexions of the murderers of Pierce you will find HALF PAY BRITISH OFFICERS and TORIES, who will come forward at this election to ruin and overturn your republican government.
Behold your brother republican Pierce in his gore! See him a victim sacrificed at the shrine of royal villainy! If we let the federalists gain the election, you will exalt to power men who have always been advocates of the government whose officers have committed the murder.
Turn out fellow-citizens at the election, and let the Tories and Federalists feel the just indignation of deeply injured republicans.
AN ELECTOR.
FACT—NOT FANCY.
Unprovoked Murder—The time has at length arrived, foretold by REPUBLICANS, when British outrage should attain its utmost. Not content with insulting our citizens for seven years successively—not content with plundering our vessels; or condemning them by mock tribunals, they have now murdered in cold blood AN AMERICAN CITIZEN—they basely murdered him in sight of our shores—at the very entrance of our harbor—they have murdered him while in the act of SUBMISSION TO THEIR INSOLENCE. They have murdered him without provocation—wantonly, cruelly, basely murdered him.—FEDERALISTS, cover yourselves with sackcloth—hide your heads from the face of day—it was YOU who cherished these vessels—it is YOU who have caressed these pirates.
RUFUS KING AND OTHERS.
For several years past every Captain of a British packet, every Captain of a British vessel of war, Lieutenant or other naval officer, if only British, invariably dined, or supped, or danced
at the house of Mr. King, Mr. Church, Mr. Woolsey, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hoofman, Mr. Colden and at the houses of a great number of other RICH FEDERALIST millers. To be a British officer was the same as a letter of recommendation. It was the best passport to their affections. Parties were always made for them, and when the bottle went round, the KING's health was drank and Rule Britannia sung. And many of those officers have left this city with a belief that King George had more friends here than Thomas Jefferson. Gentlemen, these are plain matters of fact; my life for the truth of them. Republicans, draw your own inference.
A PLAIN DEALER.
OUTRAGE UPON OUTRAGE.
The LIEUTENANT of the LEANDER is now in this City. Capt. John Shepherd, of the Schooner Concord, from Norfolk, who about six days ago was boarded by the Lieutenant of the Leander, and cruelly treated, knows him well. Capt. Shepherd states that he yesterday morning saw in the Battery, and elsewhere in the city, the LIEUTENANT of the LEANDER, disguised, in company with nine or ten FEDERALISTS! If this statement be publicly denied, it shall be substantiated. Yes, fellow-citizens, when the FEDERALISTS are hypocritically passing resolutions deploring the death of PIERCE—when by electioneering artifice they are endeavouring to turn the MURDER to the advantage of the BRITISH PARTY—when we were solemnly and religiously devoting the day to the awful funeral of our MURDERED COUNTRYMEN, behold the FEDERALISTS walking arm in arm with his MURDERER! Walking arm in arm did I say? Behold them DISGUISING the MURDERER to SCREEN them from the indignation of our Citizens, and the offended laws of our country!!
A FEDERAL TRICK.—The federalists talk about protection of the HARBOR. They effect to blame the administration for not fortifying the harbour, and hypocritically pretend that they would have fortified it. Now suppose the Narrows had been fortified at the expence of five millions of dollars, is fortifying the Narrows fortifying the HOOK? But let us test their professions by their ACTS. Did they fortify when they were in power? NO. Did they defend the harbour? NO. They raised STANDING ARMIES, and expended MILLIONS to subjugate the country, but they DID NOT FORTIFY. What did they expend in fortifying the harbour? Read and determine on their attempts to impose on the community.
The federalists were in power, according to their own account, TWELVE YEARS. What did they expend in fortifying our harbour during that long period? One hundred thousand dollars ONLY, and this was expended in a way so foolish, I mean by pieces meal, that it was of NO SERVICE. What have the REPUBLICANS expended? Why, by the state government, TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY TWO THOUSAND dollars. And what besides this, has Congress done? Congress, during the last session, appropriated ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. What is the

inference from these facts? Why, that the republican administrations have done THREE TIMES more in fortifying than those who now profess so much. Away then with their pretensions—they are hypocritical—they are delusive—they are intended to betray.
Cause of the Murder of Pierce!
In 1794, John Jay, a federalist, was sent to England to make a commercial treaty. Every one knows how ridiculously he acted at the court of St. James's—how he lowered the dignity of the United States—how he sullied the lustre of our independence. He bent his knee to the Queen, and in the fawning attitude of a courtier, kissed her hand! Well: there's no great harm in kissing the hand of a Lady, provided the object of the kissing be good. But he went down on his marrow-bones to kiss the King's hand, and in that humble posture stated, in reference to the treaty he was about to make, that he relied entirely on the "well known justice and Magnanimity" of old king George! A very pretty Plenipo. truly!
What was the consequence of this reliance? Lord Grenville wrote the British treaty, in which it is stated that all vessels shall be subjected to British search; and it is further provided, in this memorable instrument, that in order to a search, British ships may fire to bring vessels to! This treaty was made and ratified by the federalist?
Now, in pursuance of this treaty, so made by John Jay on his bended knees, the Leander brought to the sloop Richard, from Brandywine—fired to bring her to, and Murdered Pierce!!
Republicans, see in the death of your unfortunate countryman the hand of federalism! See it in the formation of the British treaty—see it in federal eulogy of the British Government—see it in the encouragement given to British officers—see it in federal principles—in a word, see it in all the conduct of the federal party.
A TRIED WHIG.
GENERAL HORATIO GATES.
While America, in the possession of freedom, peace, and unshackled industry, enjoys the glorious achievements of her heroes, they are descending successively to the grave. Within these few days another of her ablest commanders and most faithful citizens, General Gates, has followed Montgomery, Greene, and Washington. The inevitable certainty of this doom does not the less awaken our regret; but when exalted worth is thus retiring for ever from our view, let public service and public happiness be the just measures of our gratitude. General Gates more fortunate than many of his illustrious colleagues, lived to see the cause of liberty and American independence not only triumphant but consolidated; and, with this sweetest recompense of his toils and dangers, had the highest prospective satisfaction of a patriotic mind—when dying it was his firm opinion that he could form no better wish for his country, than that the political condition and progressive prosperity in which he left it might be perpetual.
America was the country of his choice, England that of his nativity; and there he is said to have imbibed those principles of liberty and resistance to oppression which caused the revolution in 1688. This early and uniform attachment is a characteristic the more commendable, as he entered the British army young and retained in it the independence of his mind and principles. With the example of their acknowledged skill and bravery it was natural that an officer, whom nature had endowed with a happy disposition, should largely partake of the spirit of his corps and lay the foundation of that military excellence which was to display itself in that best and noblest cause. He so distinguished himself in the British
lines, that without purchase he attained the rank of Major, acted as Aide-de-Camp to Gen. Monckton at the taking of Martinico, and had the honor of bearing to England the tidings of the important conquest (in which he had assisted) of that Island. He was among the first troops that landed at Halifax after the peace of Aix la Chapelle under Gen. Cornwallis, was afterwards in the 54th regiment with Gen. Braddock, and was shot through the body at the defeat of that unfortunate officer. After the peace between G. Britain and France he purchased an estate in Virginia, where he resided until the commencement of our revolution, when he was appointed by Congress Adjutant General of the American forces, with the rank of Major General, in fact the second officer in command, and afterwards appointed to take the chief command of the Northern army. What followed after two actions against the British is too deeply impressed on every mind to be here related. His name will deservedly live for ever in the annals of America, to whose independence perhaps no single event contributed so much as the Convention at Saratoga; it decided the contest between America and Great Britain; it secured the reign of liberty, and began the foundation of the best organised and happiest government that time has recorded. May America know its value!
When with the army, Gen. Gates maintained personal dignity without distance, a thing never accomplished but by real merit; he received the soldier and subaltern in private in a friendly and familiar manner; but in public, or in the presence of spectators, he kept those who approached him in their proper stations; whilst he supported subordination as necessary to discipline, he respected men in proportion to their merits.
After the peace he retired to his farm in Virginia, where he remained until he came to reside at New-York in 1790. But previously to his quitting Virginia he emancipated his negroes; he thought it was incompatible with his principles and inconsistent with the part he had taken in the revolution, to retain a human creature in bondage; and he made a pecuniary provision for such as were unable to provide for themselves, with a promise to them all of continuing his friendship and assistance. Some of these faithful beings would not part from so kind a master, but followed him, and continued in his family: one of the survivors attended the remains of her benefactor, and honored with grateful tears the author of her liberty and happiness.
On his arrival at New-York, the Mayor and Corporation came in a body to testify their sense of his services and worth, and presented him with the freedom of the city. He afterwards declined all public stations until 1800, when a sense of duty and what he deemed the interests of his country induced his consent to be a candidate for a seat in the Legislature, in which he remained no longer than he thought useful to that cause which he loved with a rational predilection, and never for a moment abandoned. But his opinions on public affairs did not interfere with his private friendships or separate him from many respectable citizens who differed widely from his political sentiments. His memory will ever be cherished by his numerous friends, to whom he was endeared by the warmth of his hospitality, the urbanity of his manners, and the steadiness of his attachments.
This venerable patriot lived to the advanced age of seventy-eight years, and retained his faculties to the last. He conversed with the cheerfulness of youth, and wrote and thought with the vigor of manhood. He took pleasure in professing his attachment to religion, and his firm belief in the doctrines of Christianity. The will, which he caused to be made a few weeks before his death, strongly char-
acterizes the humility of his faith and the unostentatious complexion of his mind. In an article dictated by himself he expressed the sense of his own unworthiness, and his reliance solely on the intercession and sufferings of Our Redeemer.
In another paragraph he strictly directed that he should be privately buried, lest the zeal and affection of his friends and fellow soldiers should induce them to accompany him with military honors to his grave. His dissolution was gradual; he sunk under the decay of nature, and died without pain or struggle.
General STEVENS, the commander of the artillery of the northern department at Saratoga, and now commanding officer of the artillery in the State, on behalf of Cincinnati and the military, solicited permission to testify their respect for him as an officer, and their esteem for him as a man—but the injunction in his will, and his frequent verbal requests were too peremptory not to be obeyed; his funeral was therefore private, but it was attended by many of the most respectable inhabitants of the city, whom he counted among his personal friends; nor was it less marked by the regret and sorrow of those who were prevented from honoring him in a manner proportioned to his merits, and from shewing their respect for one of the oldest, most useful, and most distinguished officers of the revolution, as well as one of the most enlightened and virtuous citizens of the United States.

FEDERAL CAPITAL! & CAPITAL FEDERALISM!!!
Mr. Fiske, IT is truly farcical to hear the federal papers talk about a "federal capital." I confess myself totally at a loss to define what they would have us mean by it. It certainly exhibits no more of an idea than of those visionary non-entities, which have had nothing to define them but their appropriate hackney of FEDERAL; such as federal virtue, federal honour, federal consistency, &c. Were I to define the term federal capital, with the candour of a lexicographer, I would call it a national debt. This would be acknowledging the propriety of the figure. Federal traders, like correct and
industrious merchants occupied, gained, and added much to their capital under the firm of John Adams & Co. But when a righteous providence had taken away the old merchants, the hook took a new name, and this immense capital fell to heirs distasteful to so unweidly a stock. These traders, who still continue to do business, so manage their concerns (as is too often the case with beginners) that at every annual or semi-annual footing of their books, they find their capital wasting, and unless they include more strictly to the maxims of the old federal counting-house, they will soon find themselves even with the world.
But as long as the present occupiers pay twenty shillings on the pound, which I believe they have ever done (the case of the Dutch debt excepted—and in this the eyes and wits of the Hollanders were their chaps) what becomes of that usual, federal correctness, in talking about bankruptcies. A merchant who continues to do this is neither bankrupt in resources nor reputation. Perhaps at moments of inadvertence, these federal defaulters, attach neither shame nor deficiency to a failure in trade;—as it was not uncommon under the federal bankrupt act, for men to avail themselves of bankruptcy, as an honorable, genteel and mercantile way of paying off their honest debts.—CAPITAL FEDERALISM.
But however we may be disposed to facetiously on the subject, this federal capital and federal merchandise, is very nearly allied to British monopoly and trade—the less America has to do with either, the better it will be for her interest and her honour.

NEWPORT.
THURSDAY...May 15, 1806.
The Mercury insinuates, that the Republicans in the leg. legislature were afraid to trust the people with the choice of Governor. We have no room to say any thing upon this subject now; and will therefore only observe, that the greater part of the federalists in that honorable body, in their rage to commit the choice of Governor to the people, voted to declare Richard Jackson, jun. duly elected, although they admitted that he lacked several hundreds of having a majority over the opposite candidates.
In our last Paper, we challenged any gentleman to come forward and publicly charge the government with having sent money to France as a tribute. Has any one dared to do it? No; but the Mercury with its usual candor and honesty, has re-published an article from the New-York Evening Post, which, in an indirect manner asserts the fact. Now Fellow-Citizens, mark the cunning and wickedness of the federalists. There is not one of them who has the least regard for his reputation, who dares openly to assert this infamous falsehood. But after the detestable Coleman, who has no reputation to save, and no feelings to wound, had showed the hardihood to fabricate it, these cowardly villains displayed the meanness of secretly propagating it; and no doubt ordered their other hiring editors to republish it. We shall make further remarks upon the last Mercury in our next.
The following proclamation was issued at New York, on Tuesday last:—
BY THOMAS JEFFERSON,
President of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas satisfactory information has been received, that Henry Whitty, commanding a British armed vessel, called the Leander, did on the twenty-fifth day of the month of April last past, within the waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to the entrance of the harbour of New York by a cannon shot fired from the said vessel Leander, commit a murder on the body of John Pierce, a citizen of the United States, then pursuing his lawful vocations within the same waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to their shores; and that the said Henry Whitty cannot at this time be brought to justice by the ordinary process of law.
And whereas it does further appear, that both before and after the said day, sundry trespasses, wrongs, and unlawful interruptions and vexations on trading vessels, commencing to the United States, and within their waters and vicinity, were committed by the said armed vessel Leander, her officers and people, by one other armed vessel called the Cambrian, commanded by John Nairne, her officers and people, and by one other armed vessel called the Driver, commanded by Slingaby Simpson, her officers and people, which vessels being all of the same nation, were aiding and abetting each other in the trespasses, interruptions and vexations aforesaid.
Now therefore, to the end that the said Henry Whitty may be brought to justice, and due punishment inflicted for the said murder, I do hereby especially enjoin and require all officers having authority, civil or military, and all other persons within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States, wherefore the said Henry Whitty may be found, now or hereafter, to apprehend and secure the said Henry Whitty, and him safely and diligently to deliver to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against according to law.
And I do hereby further require that the said armed vessel the Leander, with the other officers and people, and the said armed vessels the Cambrian and Driver, their officers and people, immediately and without any delay, depart from the harbors and waters of the United States. And I do forever interdict the entrance of all harbors and waters of the United States to the said armed vessels, and to all other vessels which shall be commanded by the said Henry Whitty, John Nairne, and Slingaby Simpson, or either of them:

And if the said vessels, or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or shall re-enter the harbors or waters aforesaid I do in that case forbid all intercourse with the said armed vessels, the Leander the Cambrian, and the Driver, or with any of them, and the officers and crews thereof, and do prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished them or any of them. And I do declare and make known, that if any person, from, or within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, shall afford any aid to either of the said armed vessels, contrary to the prohibition contained in this proclamation, either in repairing such vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatsoever, or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels, unless it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance, beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, such person or persons shall, on conviction, suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences: and I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military, within the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to exert their respective authorities, and to be aiding and assisting to the carrying this proclamation and every part thereof into full effect.
In Testimony whereof, I have caused (L. D.) the seal United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand. Given at the city of Washington, May 3d, 1806, &c. (Signed) TH: JEFFERSON. By the President (Signed) J. MADISON, Sec. of State.
Boston, May 12. MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. It may be truly said, no one knows who will be Governor... 'till after election.

POETRY.
MR. BEEBE.

Should this be acceptable, we shall occasionally send you others from the same author, as opportunity may permit.
THE TORMENTOR.
A PETRIFYING plague there is, Which fours the sweetest cup of bliss, And clouds life's brightest sun; Of happiness, the worst alloy, The mortal foe of every joy, Videlicet—a Dun!
Not old Medusa's fabled head, Whose dreadful eyes could turn, 'tis said, The boldest form to stone; E'er quench'd the blaze of mirth, or ty'd, With magic spell, the form of pride, Like this aforesaid Dun!
Hard fares, alas! the luckless wight, Whose fleas can neither day nor night This rude tormentor shut; Who at each corner crook and turn, Where'er his weary feet lojourn, Is haunted by a Dun!
Ambitious drops her busy schemes, As Vice awakes from golden dreams, Blithe Wit abjures his son, Pride sinks her bold aspiring crest, E'en potent Genius stoops, oppress'd, Before the mighty Dun!
Muse! tell how oft thy angel song Has led my hasty feet along, With more than mortal tone; How I entranc'd, while thou hast smil'd, Have wak'd the sweet enchantment spoil'd, By an intruding Dun!
Let toil my haggard limbs embrown, Let want and sick self weigh me down; Gout, fever, cholic, stone; Give me a field in marriage moose, And e'en Old Nick himself let loose, But save me from a Dun!
Dissolution of Copartnership.
THE Copartnership of Roberts & Spooner, will dissolve by mutual consent, on the 20th instant. Every person indebted to said firm, are earnestly requested to make immediate payment; and those who have any demands against them, to present the same for adjustment.

The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, that there shall at all times, during the term of the proposed contract, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at Michilimackinac, Detroit and Chicago, for six months in advance; and at each of the other posts on the western waters, for at least three months in advance, of good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is also to be permitted to all and every of the commandants of fortified places or posts, to call for, at seasons when the same can be transported, or at any time in case of urgency, such supplies of like provisions in advance, as in the discretion of the commandant shall be deemed proper.
It is understood that the contractor is to be at the expense and risk of issuing the supplies to the troops, and that all losses sustained by the depredations of an enemy, or by means of the troops of the U. S. shall be paid by the U. S. at the price of the articles captured or destroyed as aforesaid, on the deposition of two or more persons of credible characters, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, stating the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.
The privilege is understood to be referred to the U. S. of requiring that none of the supplies, which may be furnished under any of the proposed contracts, shall be issued, until the supplies which have been or may be furnished under contracts now in force, have been consumed; and that a supply in advance may be always required at any of the fixed posts on the seaboard, or Indian frontier, not exceeding three months.
