FROM THE CHRONICLE. OLD-SOUTH—No. LXIV.
Occasional Reflections.
THE present state of politics in this country, must exhibit the United States as a pheno- menon in the view of European nations. To observe individuals in a republican society con- tending against those vital principles, on which its legitimate permanency must exist—to read publications fraught with the most malignant calumny against THE MAN who is desirous to substantiate the full energy of those doctrines, which have ever been considered as the bulwark of a free government—to see papers which are stiled federal, prostituted to the base purpose of dissolving the Union!—to find tracts circulated around the festive board, tending to excite the most abhorrent passions, and countenanced by clerical characters, who profess to inculcate the benign maxim of "peace on earth and good will towards men"—to hear the full toned organ (de- dicated to hymns of praise and thanksgiving to the great Ruler of the Universe) leading in dis- cordant notes to the sanguinary song of blood and carnage among the citizens of the respective States!—instead of the angel of peace, to portray "the amputating knife," in the temple of Him, who declared, that "whosoever drew the sword should perish by the sword!"—To notice the hypocrisy of those, who, while they pretend to eulogize Washington, are destroying the great Legacy of Union, which he bequeathed as the last moments of his existence!—To observe the base intrigues of men, who by falsehood and decep- tion mislead the honest yeomanry and tradesmen of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Con- necticut, to counteract the principles so earnest- ly recommended by this departed patriot!— When, fellow-citizens, we view these things systematically pursued, have we not reason to pause and examine the characters who are doing the mischief?
In the first place, if we look through the town of Boston, can we find one man who was opposed to the Revolution, but what is a reviler of President Jefferson? Or, is there one man among them, who was inimical to Washington, but what is now in opposition to Jefferson?— These men treated Washington, during our re- volution, in the same manner they now do Jef- ferson. Did they not represent him as the leader of an intolerant faction? Was not his con- ciliatory conduct treated with every indignity? —Were not his attempts to relieve us from In- ternal British Taxes, considered as infringing on the prerogative of King, Lords and Commons? —Was not his opposition to the establishment of a judiciary, the judges of which were to re- main permanent under the pay of the Crown, de- nounced by the then British faction, as a viola- tion of the Constitution? Was not the declaration of Independence, though sanctioned by the signa- ture of Hancock and enforced by the sword
of Washington, called the "speaking trumpet of Rebellion?" Were we not then called upon in the same tone of energy which now designates a Morris or a Bayard, to "pause, for Heaven's sake pause!" Were not the patriots of Congress denounced as a body of Insurgents, and were not the American army destined to the gibbet, in case their prowess had not been equal to the great objects of our Independence?
If we had not succeeded, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, George Washington, and a host of heroes would have been handed down in the American history, in the same degrading point of view, as President Jefferson now stands in those papers devoted to a Junto, who from the beginning were unfriendly to every republican character within the United States; and should any prominent character in the time of the Re- volution, be now countenanced by this party, it would have been only in proportion to his apo- stasy from the great cause which bro't him from obscurity, and gave him a political reputation. In every instance, the federalists have supported the old Revolutionary Patriots so far, and no far- ther than they have renounced their Republican creed. Though a man might at those days op- pose a feudal system, yet if he is now in favor of a hereditary President and Senate, they will re- ceive him into full communion.
The present controversy is not merely an opposition to Mr. Jefferson, it is no more nor less than the outrageous effusions of the enemies of our Revolution, against Republicanism; they may sweeten the pill with federalism, to make it palatable, but depend on it the most com- ponent parts are the poisonous ingredients of Tory- ism. These people find that the President is re- verting to original principles; they are anxious therefore to rally under false colours; they cry out Washington, and, like Judas, would salute him "hail, master, and kiss him," but, at the same time, would if in their power, crucify him and every man who professes to be his disciple.
The tories always spoke one language— they do not argue, but declaim; they do not reason, but denounce; they do not attempt to convince, but alarm. They declared in 1775 that we had broken the Constitution; that des- truction would follow our opposition to Britain; that we ought to pay taxes; that it was proper to have a standing army; that a numerous body of officers, to live on the earnings of the People, was congenial with liberty; that a Republican government was a volcano, which generated in its bosom the lava of its dissolution. They at- tempted to divide the union of the States, by flattening up the port of Boston, and giving ex- clusive privileges to the other sea-ports; they spread alarms among the people, and kept the continent in one constant state of perturbation; they told us that Adams and Hancock were traitors, and that a permanent judiciary, paid by the crown, was the only basis of English liberty.
Is it not necessary then, fellow-citizens, to examine the design of these men? Why is calumny heaped on the present Administration? Why is disunion advocated as the desideratum of public happiness? Why is the President treat- ed with such pointed disrespect? Are you dis- tressed by being relieved from taxes? Is the re- peal of the Excise on distilled spirits injurious, when on the commencement of this tax, Gov. Strong and Mr. Dalton, senators from this state, were opposed to the measure? If we now say the repeal is unjustifiable, we condemn Gov. Strong, as he was, from the first introduction of this act, in the opposition. Can it be disadvan- tageous to our citizens, when we paid 80,000 dollars, and Virginia only 40,000? Can it be beneficial for us to continue a tax which took twenty dollars out of every hundred to support the various officers for collecting it, and which amounted to 180,000 yearly; every cent of which is saved to the people by abolishing the system? Every other part of the Internal Taxes fell largely on the New England states, and yet the tory faction are attempting to renew the system, under the deceptive plea, that we are to be benefited by the measure.
The Judiciary is another source of com- plaint against the President. But is there a man in the United States who wishes to extend this department of our government? Where is the man who candidly thinks that the Bench and the Bar (though respectable as men) have not already their full preponderancy of weight in the community? Ye who attend our Courts, and ye who have causes depending, examine the re- cords and your own bills of cost, and then an- swer whether the liberties and happiness of America depend on an extension of Judiciary prerogative? The man who has a disposition to abuse the present Administration for this timely check of professional influence, must have been peculiarly fortunate in not being obliged to pass the ordeal of a law-suit, otherwise the evidence would have been too forcible on his mind and pursue to admit a doubt as to the propriety of the repeal. To illustrate this remark, let the Will of Washington speak, as he therein declares, that all controversies as they related to his Estate, should "be decided by three impartial and dis- interested men." This is the deliberate voice of HIM in whom "all hearts united." Who then can controvert the principle?
Have ye, fellow-citizens, gone to your homes, after attending a circuit or district court, and bewailed the wickedness and inbecility of the judiciary, as it relates to any one officer within the whole department? If it is true that the happiness of our country wholly depends on giving further energy to the Judiciary, in the name of Liberty and Independence, let us rally round this neglected and enfeebled part of our government—let us anathematize the President and Congress—let us commence a crusade to Washington city, and under the banners of the Judiciary, to the tune of "Rule New-Eng- land," let us entrench ourselves within pistol- shot of the Legislative and Executive—thus em- bodied and embattled, let us send in the articles of capitulation, and peremptorily demand an unequivocal compliance with our wishes!
To show the unreasonableness of the attack
on President Jefferson's conduct, let us suppose that he had been at the head of the administra- tion the last four years; that the public debt had increased, though the revenue had been so abundantly productive from the European war; that he had raised an army evidently unnecessa- ry at the period of its establishment; that he had burdened the citizens with excises, stamp- duties and a direct tax; that he had borrowed money at the unprecedented interest of 8 per cent. Suppose he had pursued a system of ex- penditure upon a scale similar to the above items, in most of his transactions—should we not con- sider it a happy event, if Mr. Adams had been chosen and in a few months had adopted mea- sures exactly conformable to the present admin- istration? Would not the people have thought it was a change for the better? Would they not have reason to be thankful, that the finances of government were adequate to all our purposes, while they felt themselves relieved from such a number of burthensome taxes? This is a fair statement of the question, and if the federalists deny it, let them state their objections.
Why then, fellow-citizens, is all this san- corous temper excited? How degrading must we appear in Europe, to find us abusing the man, whose whole conduct appears directed to the public good. It is impossible, that the real friends to our country are the authors of that calumny which daily appears in our papers— they must be enemies, lurking in our seaports and interior, men who are baffled in their de- signs to establish themselves and families on the ruin of our general prosperity. Let us be col- lected; cool and deliberate, and by persevering in the glorious cause of Republicanism, we must obtain the victory; we shall "rise conquerors, yea more than conquerors," over the disturbers of our national quietude—we shall finally triumph- antly sing,
"Columbians never, never shall be slaves!" OLD-SOUTH.

Genuine (or rather mock) Federalism. [A Picture of John Adams' Administration.]
THE tory prints affect to persuade the public, that the investigating committee have done very little; that the detection of rogue ry is a mere trifling business; and that it is almost as insignificant a subject as the reduction of taxes!
Several newspapers, or a daily newspaper, held for a whole month, would not contain the details of what this committee has brought to light. We shall select a few items which have not yet found their way into the public newspapers.
The following is a copy of the account of Mr. Simmons, of the war-office. It supercedes all comment.
Dr. the United States, To Wm. Simmons, account Dep. War. For expenses incurred by the removal of himself and family, from Philadelphia to the city of Washington, viz. Expenses of himself from Philadelphia to the city of Washington, and while there, for the purpose of looking for a house for the accommodation of his family, and in which at that time he did not succeed, 65 Expenses of packing boxes, wrappings, &c. for the purpose of securing his furniture, 70 Of packing, &c. and casting the same to the vessel at Philadelphia, 30 Of himself and family living in Philadelphia, after the furniture was packed up, and unable to keep house, 30 On the road from Philadelphia to Georgetown, 11 in number, 80 Of two carriages for the conveyance of his family and part of his baggage, 120 In Georgetown, before his furniture had arrived, that he could get into the house that was hired for his accommodation, 70 For transportation from Georgetown to his house in the city of Washington, near the Eastern branch, upwards of 3 miles, 30 For actual loss on furniture in Philadelphia, in disposing of a number of articles not convenient to move, 50 For a large looking-glass, several pictures, a quantity of china, and a large dining table broke, and damage done to sundry other articles of furniture, in moving them up from the East branch, 84 For two months dead rent of his house in Philadelphia, which he was obliged to lose, 60 Of freight of sundry articles by private conveyance, that he could not get on board of public vessels, 28
Dollars, 717 I have not collected all the bills that I have to pay; but I am confident that the sum of 717 dollars is the necessary expenses, attending the removal of myself and family from Philadelphia to the city of Washington.
Wm. SIMMONS. City of Washington, October 7, 1801.
Here the public have not only been charged for Mr. Simmons' removal, but for his disappointments; not only his broken looking-glasses are charged to the public, but the negligence and wantonness of his servants are converted into a tax.
He charges not only for packing his furniture, but for his living afterwards in Philadelphia, and before they were unpacked in Georgetown.
And then for their removal three miles! Thus then, after charging for the time he did live in Philadelphia a charge is also made for the time he did not live there, under the title of dead rent !
It is worthy of remark, that the amount of accounts in the office of Mr. Simmons, unsettled at the last session of Congress, was something above three millions of dollars . Surely no man knows how to live at the public expense, better than Mr. Simmons. Excepting his brother, of scoundrel pole memory, there cannot be a more genuine Federalist!!

TOUSSAINT ARRESTED. BALTIMORE, JUNE 21. The following letter and proclamation were last evening received at Bryden's Coffee House, from a French gentleman laying off the Port, at guarantee , which has been translated for the Telegraphe .
There is an avenging God who punishes perfidy.
The traitor, the cunning villain, is at length in irons. Toussaint has been arrested at George's plantation, of Gonaives district, the seventh of this month, as well as his captain, guides, and seven companions of his crimes, by an officer named Ferrary, and five of his brave soldiers—all resistance became vain, they were seized, bound hand and foot, mounted upon horses and conducted to Gonaives where they were instantly embarked on board the Creole frigate. The correspondence of this villain has been discovered; he meditated new crimes. They were principally directed against the General in Chief Le Clerc, his family and body guard.—Fontaine, his first aid-de-camp, arrested same day at the Cape, and imprisoned, was charged with furnishing him details, and preparing a new conspiracy. The chief Sylla is actively engaged in counteracting his schemes; as supplies of all species of military stores, particularly gun-powder packed in flour barrels, were promised him by some persons of the United States, and which he was assured of receiving by some trusty associates. What a bloody enterprize! we may indeed exclaim with the poet—
"Quid non mortalia pectora cogit curvata fames." I annex the proclamation, signed by the general in chief, of an event so interesting to the human race, and the future prosperity of St. Domingo. It is impossible to describe the joy
which this publication has produced amongst all the inhabitants of the Cape.
In the evening all the city was voluntarily illuminated without public orders, and effigies respecting this hypocrite brigand, were burnt by the negroes in different places.
I am with respect, &c. FS. LESTART, Merchant and Planter of St. Domingo.
LIBERTY. EQUALITY. ARMY OF ST. DOMINGO. The General in Chief, to the Citizens of St. Domingo.
Gen. Toussaint did not wish to enjoy the amnesty which had been granted to him; he has continued to conspire; he was just going to rekindle a civil war; I thought it necessary to have him arrested; the proofs of his treacherous behaviour since the amnesty, will soon be published; this measure which infuses peace to the colony, ought not in any way to make uneasy those who have laid down their arms and submitted themselves with good faith to the Republic.
Head quarters at the Cape, 20th Prairial, (June 8th) tenth year of the French Republic. (Signed) LE CLERC. At the Cape, at the office of P. Roux, printer to the government, place d'Arms.
Extract of another letter from Cape-Francois, to a gentleman at Baltimore dated 12th June.
"I must inform you with infinite pleasure, that Toussaint, his party and accomplices, are arrested, put in irons, and on board the frigate Le Creole , bound for France, to answer for the many crimes he has committed. The Cape has been illuminated, and the effigy of Toussaint borne in every direction, by the coloured people, and universal joy is conspicuous in every countenance."
NEWPORT, Saturday, July 3, 1802.
IT is with much regret that we notice the continued indisposition of NATHANIEL HAZARD, Esq. —From his being in a state of convalescence a few days past we had great hopes. But now we think there is little or no probability of his regaining sufficient bodily strength to deliver the Oration on the anniversary of our National Independence on Monday next, to which he was appointed by the unanimous vote of the Town.
From the abilities of that gentleman; his correct ideas on government, his attachment to Republican principles, and his rhetorical powers, we expected much. However, notwithstanding our disappointment, the Citizens of Newport may have an opportunity of expressing their veneration for the cause of liberty, by attending at the Meeting-House of the Rev. Mr. Bradley, at 11 o'clock, A. M. of said day, where the Declaration of Independence will be read, with such other exercises as become the Birthday of our Nation.
Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America, To all whom it may concern:
The Citizen Joseph Marie Lequinio Kerblay , having produced to me his commission, I do hereby recognise him as Commissary of Commercial Relations of the French Republic for the state of Rhode-Island, to reside at Newport, and declare him free to exercise such functions, powers and privileges, as are allowed to similar agents of the most favored nations.
In Testimony whereof I have caused these letters to be made patent, and the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Given under my hand at the City of Washington, the sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand (L. S.) eight hundred and two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the twenty sixth.
TH: JEFFERSON. By the President, JAMES MADISON, Sec'y of State.
New-York Election—Official.
Twelve of the Congress-men are Republicans : to wit, John Smith, Samuel L. Mitchell, Phillip Van Cortlandt, Andrew M'Cord, Isaac Bloom, John Cantine, Beriah Palmer, David Thomas, Thomas Sammons, Erasmus Root, John Patterdon and Oliver Phelps. The other five are Federalists , viz. Joshua Sands, H. W. Livingston, K. K. Van Rensselaer, George Tibbetts, and Gaylord Griswold.—Alas! "How are the mighty fallen!"
The Burning Mountain in the Island of Banda, in the South Sea, has lately made an eruption, the lava of which has destroyed almost all the plantations and inhabitants in its vicinity.
On the 13th ult. a Black Snake, of the racer kind, was killed at Preston, Connecticut, which measured 7 feet 6 inches in length, and 15 inches in circumference.
When the federal party in the Senate of the United States rejected the second article of the treaty with France, many federalists pretended to say, that the article was injurious to this country, and ought never to have been introduced. But mark what one of the American Ambassadors has said, speaking of the treaty—"I considered the 2d article as highly advantageous to the United States, and as holding out a promise of payment to our merchants, for all the property unjustly taken from them by the French cruisers." In consequence of this rejection by the federal majority, which then governed the Senate, the American claims were put to a long sleep—a conduct so mysterious has always surprised even their supporters, but federalism is in itself the art of delusion and deceits even its devotees.—[Salem Reg.]
In Utica, N. Y. on 11th June, there was a severe hail storm, and the Mohawk has unusually overflowed its banks, with great injury to the inhabitants. A Tornado at Hanover, on the 13th June, unroofed Dartmouth College, and was attended with hail, and thunder and lightning.
A Ram of the Irish breed, only two years old, was lately sheared by Capt. Amos Rainger, of Barre, in Worcester county, which produced eleven pounds and three quarters of the finest wool. His sire was imported from Ireland, by Capt. Rainger. This is an improvement in the breed of sheep, which is well worthy the attention of the Farmers in this country. [Essex.]
Several interesting pieces, both original and selected, are this day necessarily deferred for want of room. They shall receive due attention whenever the limits of our paper will admit.

NATIVE BEAUTY.
A SONNET.
THE fair Quaker maiden, neat, elegant, plain, With justice the praise of the town shall obtain; Content with the beauty by nature bestow'd, Unpractis'd the license by custom allow'd.
Regardless of fashions, she thinks herself dress'd, Without tort'ring her hair, or exposing her breast: But the modest reluctance that faintly reveals, Enhances each charm which it shews or conceals.
The girls who have borrow'd gay burdens from art And are of THEMSELVES but so little a part, With envy shall view ev'ry sweet native grace That breathes in her form, or that blooms in her face; With envy shall sigh, while their hearts must confess That lovely Simplicity's Beauty's best dress.
TO FARMERS.
A most excellent Method of making BUTTER, as now practis'd in England, which effectually prevents its changing, and becoming rank.
THE day before churning, scald the cream in a clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, tak- ing care that it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to boil, or is fully scalded, strain it, when the particles of milk which tended to sour and change the butter, are separated and left behind. Put the vessel into which it was strained in a tub of water, in a cellar, till next morning, when it will be ready for churning, and become butter in less than a quarter of the time required in the common method. It will also be hard, with a peculiar additional sweet- ness, and will not change.—The labor in this way is less than the other, as the butter comes so much sooner, and saves so much labor in working out the butter-milk.—By this method good butter may be made in the hottest weather.
A man has been sentenced at Worcester, to two months solitary confinement, for making an indecent appearance in the streets! What will our fashionable Nudes [naked ones] say to this? [Lond. pap.]
ANECDOTES.
Anecdote of Bonaparte.
Extracted from his Life, lately published.
ON the night ensuing the long and dread- ful battle of Arcola, Bonaparte disguised himself in the dress of an inferior officer, and traversed the camp. In the course of his round, he dis- covered a centinel leaning on the butt-end of his musket in a profound sleep. Bonaparte, taking the musket from under him, placed his head gently on the ground, and kept watch for two hours in his stead; at the end of which the re- gular guard came to relieve him. On awaking, the soldier was astonished at seeing a young of- ficer doing duty for him; but when, looking more attentively, he recognized in this officer the commander-in-chief, his astonishment was converted into terror. "The General!— Bonaparte!" he exclaimed; "I am then un- done." Bonaparte, with the utmost gentleness, replied, "Not so, fellow-soldier; recover your- self—after so much fatigue, a brave man like you may be allowed for a while to sleep; but in future, chase your time better."
NOT long since, an Irishman was arraign- ed at the bar of Justice for a felony, and on be- ing asked the usual question, "How will you be tried?" through ignorance he remained silent, till told by one of the counsel to say "by God and my country!"—Pudily replied to his advo- cate, "By my soul, honey, I wouidn't be tried by God at all, because as how he knows all about the matter."
TRAVELLERS should be careful to de- liver their luggage to proper persons, as a gen- tleman a few days since, on alighting from a stage coach, entrusted his wife to a stranger, and has not heard of her since.—A correspondent fays, "for luggage, read baggage."
A LAZY fellow being asked what induced him to lie in bed so long in the morning—re- plied, "To hear counsel: Industry advises me to get up, and Sloth advises me to lie still; and then make use of their arguments, pro and con. It is my part to hear what is said on both sides; and by the time the cause is over, dinner is ready."
