President's Message.
Words that ought only to be spoke upon holidays "When one has nothing else to do." That Washington thought very differently on the subject of a national university, may be seen by turning to his speeches.

all, but the furious jacobin and unprincipled demagogue, will say no. On the other hand, their exertions were prompted by a laudable zeal to protect the United States against the hostile attacks of a power, whose ruling policy is universal conquest.
The libellers of virtue and patriotism were constantly proclaiming against the measures of the Washington and Adams administration. Not a frigate could be built or a soldier enlisted but a hue and cry was set up from Maine to Georgia, that a navy, however small, would involve the country in a war with European powers; and the few troops which were raised to garrison and fortify our seaports, were represented as a "Standing Army," intended for the purpose of depriving the citizens of their rights and liberties. These false representations had their intended effect—the people withdrew their confidence from men and measures which were calculated to render the United States respected abroad and happy and prosperous at home. Have the people of this country been gainers by this change! We will begin with the purchase of Louisiana: The acquisition of this country was pronounced by democrats an act which would entitle Mr. Jefferson to the everlasting gratitude of the country, and ought to be considered as one of the most glorious events of the age. Has the result verified their fair weather prophecy? Has it not been a Pandora's box, an expense and the cause of embroiling this country with Spain? By a reference to the proceedings in Congress it appears the President will be authorized to accept the service of 30,000 men for the protection of this acquired territory! pretty good evidence that our affairs in that quarter wear a "squally" appearance yet. It is to be hoped these 30,000 volunteers will not be converted into a "standing army" to enslave Mr. Jefferson's "red brethren" and "tyrannize" over "oppressed humanity."
"OPPOSITION" SHOULD we form an opinion from the state which has attended many Editors of public papers, we can never expect to derive either reputation or interest from an intentional deviation from truth or correctness—our abhorrence of him who willfully violates the former, is only equalled by our pity for him who is incapable of hearing to the latter. Next to the satisfaction arising from a conscientious discharge of duty, is to receive the approbation of the good and virtuous. When we assumed the conducting of this paper, it was at the instance of those, whose good opinion it will ever be our pride and ambition to possess.
The petty alterations of editors of different politics may serve the useless purpose to amuse the base and vulgar but can never afford any substantial benefit to society. So malignant is the spirit of party with many at the present day, that they lay aside all regard for truth and justice in order to exercise a malicious disposition and injure the reputation of those who differ from them in opinion on subjects of a political nature; the rancor of party is so violent with many as to give a bias to all their actions and prompt them to calumniate without the least provocation. Liberal and candid strictures on our professional conduct shall ever receive like treatment on our part. How far our opponents observe the like conduct, let the following extract from the last Argus show:
"Capt. Chase, of the schr. Independence, furnished the Editor of the Gazette with a list, on his arrival. It is presumed, from knowledge of this circumstance, the Editor of the Argus felt secure in copying the ship's news from that paper; for the possibility of a mistake, or a motive for perversion, cannot be suspected. He will of course be willing to correct the borrowed error. So great a blunder is beyond the compass of accident and the fatuity of ignorance. It must have been the effect of design.—Capt. Chase, Capt. Conant, took Capt. Patterson from the wreck of the schr. Friendship. The satisfaction of assisting a brother in distress is his reward. He wishes not for the blaz- of public praise. It is immaterial to him whether his good deed were ascribed to him or another. But to withhold from him the credit of a meritorious action, is an act of baseness perpetrated by meanness or malice alone."
The error alluded to was occasioned as follows: Capt. Chase left his ship news in the office unaccompanied with his name or that of his vessel, as the copy will now show; not being present at the time, on enquiry we understood it was from Capt. Conant, who arrived about the same time and as such it was inserted.
On being apprized of this unfortunate error or "blunder," as the Argus calls it, such notice was taken of it in the next Gazette as gave to captain Chase all the credit of "assisting a brother in distress" that he would have received provided the error had never occurred. Will any reasonable man say there has been any thing in our conduct towards capt. Chase which savours of either "baseness," "meanness," or "malice?" A man of whom we had not the least knowledge till since the transaction alluded to—conscious of not having been actuated in the smallest degree by such unworthy motives, it will not be considered as too harsh or severe language to pronounce the Argus writer an unprincipled prevaricator; and his assertions wicked and malicious falsehoods, at the same time we regret that the poverty or ambition of the man should be such as to impel him so far to commit himself for the sake of acquiring a little professional business.
To Readers and Correspondents. We shall commence in our next, the publication of the MONITOR , agreeably to the plan suggested by a valuable correspondent; in the prosecution of which we solicit the aid of the friends of virtue and religion.
Several articles of Intelligence, and some New Advertisements, unavoidably postponed, shall be attended to in our next.

Died,
On Wednesday last, in this town WILLIAM SYMMES, Esq. Counsellor at Law, Aet. 45.
To the Catalogue of those whose lives have been distinguished by the display of uncommon talents, and useful exertions; and whose remains have been deposited in the silent mansions of the grave, it is a melancholy task to add a name, so generally known, and where known, respected and esteemed.
In his character were united the liberality of a gentleman, the uprightness of a christian, and the industry of a patriot. In his profession he held the first rank; and without doing injustice to any, it may be said, that in classical learning, general information, profound knowledge of law, few in this country excelled him. In his official duties he acted with justice and candor; and the sometimes poignancy in his speeches, he was always eloquent and remarkably correct. In regard to the honor and interest of his country in whose concerns he had been frequently employed, he was highly excited, and having abilities to be useful, the excellence of his principles always made him so. His heart was benevolent; and in every circumstance which required his advice and assistance, they were readily and cheerfully granted. Tho' without a family of his own, he was zealously concerned for the education of youth and the interest of learning. He was sensible of the importance of religion, and by his constant attendance at public worship and liberal sentiments in support of public preachers of the Gospel, always manifested a desire to promote it. To say more in his praise would be superfluous; to say less would be doing injustice to his memory. But if the rigor of truth should require the exposure of a fault, it must, however reluctantly, be acknowledged, he had one, which, tho' circumstances may palliate, was considered as a blemish in his character; but on this, so great and good were the qualities of his heart the recording angel will drop a tear and the mantle of charity will not be withheld to cover his imperfection.
On Wednesday last, Mr. Phinehas Bacon, formerly of Newton, aged 47.—An honest and worthy member of society.—George, son of Mr. Thomas Sylvester, aged 7 years.—Joseph, son of Mr. Joseph Greenleaf, aged 4 years.

TAKE NOTICE!
I AM happy to say, that the advertisement that I had put in the Argus paper last summer, against the character of CYNTHIA, (my wife) was not true—for I believe her to be innocent of what was charged against her; and am sorry that I should be left to hasten to false reports to her injury—and as to posting my wife, I freely and fully disclaim that act. SILAS DALE. Ilwborough, Jan. 12
