Review of Mr. Jefferson's Administration.
After some calculations on the comparative increase of population by immigration, Mr. Jefferson in his notes on Virginia observes, "but are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage, expected from a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners? Is it for the happiness of those in society to harmonize as much as possible, in matters, which they must of necessity transact together? Civil government being the sole object of forming societies, its administration must be conducted by common consent. Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar, than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution with others, derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed, than the maxims of absolute monarchies. Yet from such we are to expect the greatest number of inigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the government they have imbibed in their early youth; or if able to throw them off, it will be for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle, were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles with their language they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass." These are perhaps as correct sentiments, as ever came from the pen of a visionary dreaming philosopher. They are far different from those systems and theories, founded on a fancied perfection of human nature, and produced by the French revolution, which nearly unhinged the intellectual as well as moral world. They show that the evils, resulting from different education are sufficient to exclude them from a participation of the privileges of native citizens, without taking into the account their depraved morals and vicious inclinations. Whence then have his opinions been so strikingly inconsistent? The answer is, he wrote his first, as a man, intent on the discovery of truth; his last, as President, determined to patronize the extreme licentiousness of these imported patriots, rather than incur any danger of losing his office.
We have given these sentiments of the President principally in support of the character, we stated aliens generally to possess, though they manifest his selfishness and inconsistency. For full evidence of it we now appeal to the history of the lives of the principal leaders of this tribe of runaways from justice, to whose care and exertion Mr. Jefferson has committed his fame. The secretary of the treasury, after expulsion from his own country for treasonable practices against it, and the enjoyment of an asylum here, could not restrain his restless spirit, but was the chief instigator of an insurrection to oppose the salutary measures of the wise and virtuous Washington. It may be for this that the President has given him one of the most important offices under the government, in neglect of many of our countrymen, not inferior in talents, in reputation infinitely superior. Duane, high in the confidence of Mr. Jefferson, and consequently self styled organ of the public will, after suffering in the East-Indies a disgraceful punishment, was obliged to fly to avoid a still heavier judgment of the law. Cheetham is a strong pillar, in the temple of atheism and illuminated infidelity. Callender, though he repented of the abandoned calumnies, which Mr. Jefferson hired him to publish against his predecessors, could not according to the friends of the executive, and they best knew him, boast an unblemished character. How many mobs of united Irishmen in '98 and '99 assembled in the streets of Philadelphia to petition and intimidate the government? Still later scenes are in memory. Preceding the congressional election in Delaware in 1802, numbers of aliens were so intoxicated, and used such impious language before the judge, who was naturalizing them, that even democracy itself was shocked, and threatened a denial of citizenship, unless they would at least assume the appearance of temperance. Below all, but at a depth of vice immeasurably great, stands Thomas Paine; after abandoning the friend of his bosom, and leaving his country; after being censured for disclosing secrets of the continental congress in breach of confidence after returning to England and conspiring against its government; after flying to avoid the punishment of death; after being chosen a member of that body of cutthroats and assassins, the national convention, by a district, which boasted of having elected two representatives who were exceeded in infamy by himself alone; after vilifying, misrepresenting, and bellying the conduct of Washington; and after denying his god and saviour, trading on our holy religion, and attempting to mislead it by blasphemous obscenity; this man, or ex-positor of impiety and wickedness, is invited by the president, with expressions of affectionate attachment to return to America, and resume the work of corrupting morals, destroying principles, and demoralizing virtuous habits in support of his administration. Having exhibited a life so prolific in iniquity, for what other purpose could this base of virtue be recalled? The executive cannot expect the aid of the truly patriotic in administering the government, when they behold him, countenancing a man, who is exerting himself to sap its foundations.
These are the unhappy fugitives from distress, who have been so pathetically represented as claiming our hospitality. They are that suffering humanity, to whose cries states understanding their own happiness, and regarding the durability of their institutions, have been deaf, but to which we have fatally listened. Like the natives of Rome in the time of Hadrian, we may say, our country has attracted the vipers of the universe, and the manners of the most opposite nations. With habits, feelings, and principles totally dissimilar, destitute of any respect to moral rectitude, and unacquainted with the most obvious maxims of sound policy, they are to give stability to a government, which is founded on virtue and information. Instead of the production of this effect by naturalization, it will be a miracle for it long to withstand the shocks and conflicts of the contending passions of such a "distracted, incoherent, heterogeneous mass." Seeds are sown, which must quickly ripen the destruction of this empire. The world's last and best hope will shortly have an existence only on the page of history. Soon will the traveller read its ruin from the mouldering fragments of its monuments and inscriptions, and censure that infatuated policy, which hastened its downfall by a mixture of foreign, spurious, and unassimilating elements.
The history of nations displays the fatal effects of indiscriminate naturalization, and its necessary attendant, foreign influence. The Chinese, who have never had any communication with aliens, except in a single city for the purpose of trade, have preserved for ages pure and unaltered their manners, habits, and civil institutions. Nor has the conquest of their empire effected any change. The ruder nations of the north have ever imitated those, whom they vanquished. But kingdoms which have had constant intercourse with other states, and which not only granted a temporary residence, but admitted aliens to participate in the honors of government, have suffered frequent revolutions. Switzerland by excluding foreigners and their influence, might have had something left beside "rocks, ruins, and demagogues;" might have still triumphed in that simple liberty, which has been the admiration of the world. A complete exclusion of them would probably have saved, from the deadly embraces of France, Venice, Genoa, Geneva and Holland. At least were these states doomed to fall, their ruins would have been the grave of their inhabitants. Had not Poland requested the assistance of foreign nations in the elections of her monarchs, she might still have had an existence. — If the parties in Rome had constantly denied the rights of the city to aliens, her liberty would not have expired in the bloody scenes of Scylla and Julius Cæsar.
A similarity between the conduct of aliens in these and our own country ought not to suffer us to be indifferent about the fate of our beloved institutions. Already has the deadly poison attacked, and soon will dissolve them, unless an antidote is used. Judging from what has past, a few years may exclude our native citizens from any share in the government of their choice. When once this right is wrested from them, it can only be recovered by a civil war, which will be the seal of endless destruction.
How much more solid a foundation of fame could Mr. Jefferson have laid by an opposite policy? Were he to prevent the naturalization of foreigners, the friends of this country might rejoice in the prospect, that far distant would be the day of her ruin. Succeeding generations might invoke his name, as continuing the duration of liberty; while now they will anathematize as the cause of its premature destruction. But he founds his greatness on their aid; and ambition without virtue will be gratified, though nations be destroyed. — Little reflection however would teach him, that he never can be considered a benefactor of his country by collecting and lighting the materials of her funeral pile.
BOSTON, SEPT. 10
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the Packet, Capt. Trott, arrived at Boston Sept. 7 from London, files of London papers have been received to 23th of July—ten days latest.
The most prominent news in them, is the increased prospect of speedy WAR between Russia and France. The event appeared almost inevitable, if any reliance can be placed on European appearances. The former was making great preparation for hostilities in the Baltic and the black seas. The emperor Alexander had refused to acknowledge the Emperor Napoleon; and had lately been very lavish of his favors on Louis XVIII. and his encouragement to the French royalists. — Nor does the Emperor Napoleon appear solicitous to allay the resentment of his Brother. In one of the last Moniteurs he makes Alleyrand repeat, what he had directed Gen Hedouville, his Ambassador, say,
on quitting Petersburg—The emperor of France does not wish for war with any one; neither does he dread it with any one! A long peace is his wish; but the history of his life affords no room to imagine that he is of a temper to allow himself to be insulted or dictated to." This appears to be the language of defiance. — It was said Sweden would unite with Russia in the war. — The British government had recalled its ambassador from St. Petersburg, and sent out Lord Gower with new powers.
The coronation of Bonaparte is to take place on the 9th of November; all the pomp and ceremony of the occasion is already digested and published.
EVERY account from Spain appears to confirm the information, that a serious alteration has arisen between Mr. Pinckney, the American ambassador, and the "enlightened government" of that kingdom. — The latter has refused to ratify the convention some time since negotiated at Madrid, to obtain compensation for the property illegally taken by Spanish cruizers; and which same treaty remained so long in the pigeon holes at Washington: — And it has alleged, as a cause of refusal, the alteration of circumstances which the cession of Louisiana to the United States, has made between the two countries. "An American captain at Cadiz, writes, under date of the 18th July, (the latest from that quarter) "that coldness between his most catholic majesty and Mr. Pinckney, continued: — That the latter had demanded his passports of leave to quit the country: — which the King had refused to grant; and that the merchants, trading to America, were much alarmed, and were hurrying off as fast as possible the American vessels consigned to them."
War with Spain inevitable.
The following Communication is received by a merchant at Philadelphia, from a source upon which perfect reliance may be placed.
MADRID, July 16, 1804.
"The application of the American minister on the subject of the convention, has at length drawn from this court the following propositions, upon the acceptance of which only, will that instrument be ratified.
 1st. That time be allowed to give notice to their subjects of the convention, which has not yet been done, as they consider the business totally abandoned by the American Government.  2d. that the article relating to prizes carried into Spanish ports by French cruizers be totally expunged, and all claims on the Spanish government, on that account be for ever relinquished.  3d. that the act of the United States, authorizing the President to establish one or more ports on the river Mobile be immediately repealed. 
After a proper remonstrance by the American minister on this subject he demanded his passports, and will actually depart from hence in the course of the ensuing week.
It is expected that all the Americans will be obliged to leave this place in a few days.
Nothing of course but war is spoken of. Nevertheless, Mr. Yrujo, is intrusted with full powers, and it may happen that what could not be obtained here, will be granted at Washington.
The people of this country affect to treat with contempt any opposition on the part of the United States, as they have (from your side) such information as leads them to believe that America is only a great merchant who calculates upon the probable loss or gain, by war or peace, and will determine as the balance of interest may preponderate, without regard to national honor.
Nevertheless if we except the French, there is no other nation that they so much apprehend mischief from. Your vicinity to their colonies, and the mild principles of your republican government is a constant source of anxiety to them, and occasions both fear and hatred to you.
General Moreau is now at Barcelona, on his way to America, where he means to pass the remainder of his life by permission of the emperor.
Even this circumstance has given some alarm here."
From Cuba, July 1. — "Fifty American vessels, captured by French privateers, have been sent in here — This port is now shut against all strangers. The governor has just now informed me, that he has received intelligence, that the Spaniards HAVE PURCHASED the whole state of LOUISIANA." This may be "moonshine," but straws shew which way the wind blows.
From the Natchez, Aug. 10.
Extract from a letter, August 7.
"Returning this morning from the vicinity of Bayou Sara, met not far from the line 21 armed men; on passing the house within my view, they fired a French horn and unfurled a flag composed of four white and three blue stripes, a yellow field, and two red stars! they were mounted, armed with rifles and pistols, and wore a deep blue cocade. Among the party, I recognized some of the planters of Feliciana, and one of whom I knew, on passing me, declared he would be in possession of Baton Rouge Fort in 24 hours; I have since learned, that their plan is to take the different aludes or commandants as they go along; so that we may naturally suppose our neighbor O'Conner is in straits ere this. As I get more of the particulars you shall have them.
While writing, a party of men and women have passed
in ribbons and plumage—among them are J. S.—and Mrs. A.
Extract of another letter, dated Aug. 5th received at 5 o'clock P. M. The R. — and their party amounting to nearly three hundred men, set out yesterday to take Baton Rouge. — It is supposed they will effect it, and perhaps seize the whole country as far as Mobile river; I have learnt that there were a number of American citizens of the party which I regret. These insurgents have hoisted the American flag. I believe if there had been United States troops stationed at Fort Adams, the citizens here nor any other in this neighborhood, would have been suffered to collect in opposition to our government nor to invade the rights of a peaceful neighboring nation."
Horrible murder and suicide! — On the 19th inst at Reading, in Fairfield county, Chauncy Merchant, aged about 60 years murdered his wife, by striking her repeated strokes on the head with a common hatchet, driving the teeth through her skull, and with such a degree of violence that two men with difficulty separated the hatchet from the head of the corpse. After perpetrating the above horrid deed, the abandoned wretch destroyed his own life by throwing himself into his well. For many years he had been habitually intoxicated with spirituous liquors, and had often threatened his wife with first taking away her life and then his own; but without putting her greatly in fear. The deceased have left a number of children and other respectable connections. — The perpetrator till he became a drunkard, sustained a fair character and was held in esteem by his acquaintance. — [Bridgeport Patriot]
PORTLAND, SEPT. 13.
[As a bathing house has been lately erected in this town, it may not be uninteresting to give the following extract from the Domestic Encyclopedia.]
WARM BATHS. are such as have a temperature above the 76th, and not exceeding the 96th or 98th degree of the thermometer. There are various springs in Britain, especially those of Bath, Clifton, Buxton, and Matlock, to which nature has given this temperature, the most beneficial to the human body. But whether the tepid bath of this description be natural or artificial, it is equally conducive to the restoration of energy, though its effects have, till lately, been little understood. Physicians, as well as patients, have hitherto been too generally accustomed to consider a warm bath, as weakening the body, and useful only for the removal of certain diseases especially those of the skin. Experience however, has amply proved that there can be no safer and more efficacious remedy in a variety of chronic and inveterate complaints than the warm bath if properly used, and continued for a sufficient length of time. Dr. Marcard, resident physician of Pyrmont, has in one opinion (1802) — "that the warm bath, in many cases of debility, spasms, pain, anxiety, and other causes, as well as to hectic and emaciated persons, is generally of eminent service, and almost the only means of restoring their health and prolonging their lives. Instead of heating the human body as has erroneously been asserted, the warm bath has a cooling effect, in as much as it obviously abates the quickness of the pulse, and reduces the pulsation in a remarkable degree, according to the length of time the patient continues in the water. After the body had been overheated by fatigue from travelling, violent exercise, or from whatever cause, and likewise after great exertion, or perturbation of mind, a tepid bath is excellently calculated to invigorate the whole system, while it allays those tempestuous and irregular motions, which otherwise prey upon, & at length reduce the constitution to a sick bed. Its softening and affusive power greatly tends to promote the growth of the body; on which account it is peculiarly adapted to the state of such youth as manifest a premature disposition to arrive at a settled period of growth and it has uniformly been observed to produce this singular effect, in all climates."
The warm bath is of very great utility to such individuals as are troubled with a parched and rough skin; it has also been found to afford relief in many paralytic, bilious, hypochondriacal, hysterical, and even insane cases, as well as to forward the cure of scrofula and leprosy eruptions, when strict attention had been paid to both diet and regimen. In palsy, likewise modern observers assert that warm bathing is one of the most effectual remedies.
LOUISIANA. — In spite of the fallacious representations and lullaby stories of the tranquil state of Louisiana, events take their natural course, and truth will, at last, be heard. It is now established beyond contradiction, that a spirit of discontent prevails in that country, and that the dissatisfaction is directed by talent. — The advocates of the Louisiana purchase, and the measures pursued relative to establishing a new government there, must now confess themselves in a serious error. If the government framed for that country was wise and just, then are the people turbulent and dangerous citizens, for adopting such language as we find in the remonstrance. If their complaints are well founded, then who will justify the Executive in exercising tyranny over a community, to which they solemnly tendered the blessings of a free government? We will not exult in the perplexities with which the wretched policy of the present administration has overwhelmed itself, for we must bear part of the evils—the whole country must suffer; but reproach must and will fall, and that with due weight, where it is strikingly deserved.— Repository .

To PLAIN TRUTH—A Chronicler.
LIKE pilfering rogues, who flee from town to town, sometimes changing their clothes, and sometimes their names, to enable them to depredate with more security, on the property of others, you have left the Chronicle at Boston, and, in the name of Sempronius are now endeavoring to destroy the character of Judge Chase thro' the medium of a Portland paper. But happily for the man you wish to injure, like other thieving depredators on property, you will always carry a mark about by which you must soon be known. Moral deformity having accumulated to the magnitude yours has, cannot remain long concealed in any place whatever. That dastardly propensity to falsehood and misrepresentation, as well as your unbounded vanity, can no more be suppressed in your writings, than the African tinge can be washed from the faces of —'s children.
Was it not enough for your base soul to malign Judge Chase thro' the circulation of the Chronicle? or do you suspect, as justly you may, that slander has lost all its malignity when it appears in that profligate paper? You will soon discover, however, that you have gained but little on this ground by the change; justhood and imbecility are the most distinguishing features of both papers.
You are an illustrious example of the old proverb: what is bred in the bone cannot be whipped out of the flesh . Though you change your name and the place of residence as often as any Newgate pilferer ever did, you cannot put off an old inveterate habit; — for in your second sentence you assert a direct and flagrant falsehood to the public. "Articles of impeachment, you say, are filed against Judge Chase; and he will of course be held to answer before the Senate." You know, sir, this is false; and you knew it when you wrote your letter. No articles of impeachment have ever been filed against Judge Chase before the Senate; nor have any been agreed on by the House of Representatives; so that the second clause of your sentence, and the whole consists of little more than two lines, may be eventually as erroneous as the first is false in fact. Calculating, as the leaders of the Jeffersonian faction always have done, upon the ignorance of your readers, and presuming that those who take the paper in which you have come forward, are as unacquainted with all public transactions respecting the government, as those who read the Chronicle are, you hazarded this experiment, and added another falsehood to the old list to keep up the geometrical progression mentioned in my last: But a few years more will satisfy you that lying and falsehood can neither serve a good cause nor conceal a bad one very long.
Having returned in my letter of May 21st, my opinion you advanced to criminate Judge Chase; and demonstrated, from the cases you brought to illustrate the impropriety of his conduct, in appealing to the public, that such a charge lay expressly against the House of Representatives and not against him, I shall refer you to that letter, and add but a word or two more in reply to this part of your Sempronian letter.
You say "Judge Chase, circumstanced as he was, ought to have been patient, and waited the 'event of a constitutional trial'—If the house of representatives had proceeded properly in conformity to the principles of the constitution, and filed articles of impeachment against Judge Chase before the Senate in a reasonable time, and had not permitted exparte testimony taken by their committee to be published, in their official paper, to the people at large, it would have been improper for the Judge to have made what you call an appeal to the public. But such is not the case. No articles of impeachment have been agreed upon, much less filed in the constitutional court for trying impeachments—no evidence has been taken on the part of the house that can be used against Judge Chase in the Senate: But articles, or rather something has been reported to the house that may hereafter be made into legal articles of impeachment, and these, without having been taken up or examined by the house, in their crude state, together with all the exparte testimony taken by the committee behind the Judge's back, have been published to the people of the United States. This statement I believe is substantially true. Now, sir, who makes the appeal to the people? the house of representatives, or Judge Chase? Does the Judge act improperly, or manifest an undue impatience in replying as he has done to this exparte evidence, thus thrown by the house of representatives to the people at large, and in my opinion, with a design to forestall their sentiments? Or rather may we not say, that in all this the Judge has done right, but the house in their mode of conducting the previous steps of an intended impeachment have manifestly deviated from the spirit of the constitution , as well as from the usages of all courts?
You say "Judge Chase ought to rely on the 'justice of his cause, if he was conscious of his own innocence.'" And if the house really believed that he was guilty of conduct for which he ought to be impeached, why did they not file the articles of impeachment before the constitutional tribunal, and, as he willed, summon him to appear. This is what they ought to have done; and their not doing it is the ground of his complaint. And when he found they would not carry him before the constitutional tribunal, but had published their exparte evidence for the people at large, he thought proper to publish what he had prepared for the house of representatives, requesting them to give him an opportunity to know what were the charges they had against him, that he might be prepared to make his innocence appear.
portunity to know what were the charges they had against him, that he might be prepared to make his innocence appear.
You say "you come forward in the Chronicle to vindicate and support the constitutional authorities of the nation." This is not true—Your principal object was to vilify and render unpopular Judge Chase—You, like the other leaders of the present dominant party, have a mortal hatred to the capable, upright officers appointed by Washington and Adams; and any means by which they can be displaced you are ready to employ to make vacancies. You have not forgotten Jefferson's lamentation , "deaths are few, resignations none!" Yet new appointments must be made. You and every well wisher to a free elective republic, about which you make so much hypocritical pattering, ought to have taken the part of Judge Chase as a persecuted man, and not support the individuals or the house of Representatives against him after it was manifest they chose to delay his trial and bring his cause before the people.
Your insinuation that Judge Chase wishes to avoid a constitutional trial, are mean, base, & false. The whole of his complaint is that the house have unreasonably delayed his trial after having formally impeached him to the Senate. And take what ground you please, to justify the house, it will, on fair examination, appear to all upright honest minds that his complaint is not without foundation. Indeed the general suspicion that the house have taken this irregular step to scotch the feelings of their supporters, in different parts of the union, to see whether it will be a safe measure for the Senate to condemn him, has a cloud of circumstance to feed it.
Your extreme egotism and vanity I shall pass over by observing that notwithstanding you look upon yourself to be a man of distinguished character, ranking among the soil-born, of eminent talents, engaged in a multiplicity of business, whose usefulness is as extensive as the continent, and whose erudition extends to the reading and mangling an English translation of Juvenal ; yet, unless you change your stile and manner of writing, the people will sooner believe you to be a monster with six heads and ten horns , than credit what you say of yourself. Yours, &c.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
FOR JENKINS' PORTLAND GAZETTE
STRICKTURES ON CERTAIN TOASTS—No. 9.
(Concluded from the last Gazette)
Here we have Mr. Clinton's opinion of Mr. Jefferson—He (Clinton) explicitly declared, "That he had long entertained an unfavorable opinion of Mr. Jefferson's talents as a statesman, and his firmness as a republican. That he conceived him an accommodating trimmer, who would change with times and bend to circumstances for the purposes of personal promotion. Impressed with those sentiments, he could not, with propriety, he said, acquiesce in the elevation of a man distrustful of the qualifications essential to the good administration of the government; and added other expressions too vulgar to be here repeated."
In page 24 he asserts that Cheetham, the hireling of the present administration, is "An open blasphemer of his God, a reviler of his Saviour, and a conspirator against the religious establishments of his country."
In page 28, speaking of Mr. Clinton he says, "As he has avowed himself the leader of a faction which with wild and savage impetuosity, is assailing at once the peace of the union and the established system of our civil policy; which is rapidly advancing in its revolutionary labors, and with irrepressible zeal disseminating the principles of infidelity, and propagating new political dogmas, tending to the destruction of morality and the dissolution of the federal compact, I shall be justified, I hope, in bestowing upon his merit and character, a few moments dispassionate consideration."
And then proceeds to draw the true picture of a Jacobin—Here Jacobinism looses its caution again: "If the welfare of the country required a revolution in the catalogue of public officers, the procedure should have been vindicated upon fair and manly principles. Justice and integrity should have marked the triumphal steps of government. Mildness and impartiality should have proclaimed the reformation of public freedom."
"The doctrine of the infallibility of the people is not verified by experience. It is a species of cant, by which the most flagrant proceedings are often pursued and justified. The political dogma, that the people can do no wrong, is as absurd when applied to the popular sovereignty of America, as to the hereditary monarch of England. That the people are politically omnipotent, is true, but that they have a moral right to will their own destruction, is preposterous, and could never have originated, but in the heated brain of a maniac. Whenever the people, thro' want of correct information, the artifices of designing men, or the prevailing delusions of the times, warned by passion, and enflamed by collision, are urging measures in direct hostility to the solid interests of the country, it behoves good men to oppose the headless torrent, and save their fair inheritance from desolation."
This is perhaps the re plus ultra of Jacobinism, but we cannot fathom the depths of human depravity, and possibly they may yet sink deeper in the abyss of infamy.—Has not their cant always been Vox populi, vox Dei . The voice of the people is the voice of God! Have they not gained all their ascendancy by falsehood and practiced all the artifices of designing men to annihilate religion, morals and good government? Have they not uniformly been, are they not now urging measures in direct hostility to the solid interests of the country ? Yet while they abuse federalists for an attempt to save our fair inheritance from the desolation with which their own measures threaten us , with true Jacobinism they utter these glaring hypocrites.
"When the sensibility of the people is highly excited, the doctrine of a political sect may sometimes obtain an ascendancy, however ridiculous they may be in theory or dangerous in practice. But it can only continue, until the causal circumstances which have produced it, are removed by the operations of returning reason."
How easy for hypocrisy to condemn in others the same vices which itself practices. The author of Burr's vindication and Mr. Burr himself can lament the consequences of falsehood and error on the public mind, when they fear that themselves may be the victims, but they will practice both without shame, and while they remain in the "full tide of successful ex-
ment" abuse those who become their victims and feel the rod of power.
Duane, another hireling scribler of the dominant party is thus spoken of, "This wretch, who it is said is insensible to disgrace, though not 'unslapped of justice,' boasts of controlling the politics of the state in which he lives, and of having the power to elevate or depress every political character at pleasure."
In page 85 it is asserted that Cheetham has been supported by the general government. I might proceed to extract much more from this pamphlet, but I reckon of the employment and shall only make one or two quotations from Cheetham's pamphlet against Burr . It is in the form of a letter to a friend:
"Your queries respecting the entire history of Mr. Burr's designs to advance himself AGAINST the clearly expressed will of the republican party, and that for a variety of designs, and prudent reasons, I am not at liberty to detail. Your anxiety carries you to an extreme length; this is the effect of your zeal for the public good; of your attachment to that sublime experiment in politics, which we are now making with very cheering prospects of success."
What is the sublime experiment which Jacobins are making in this country with such flattering prospects? We can only answer that such was the language of Frenchmen when they ridiculed all religion and called it superstition;—described the rules of morality which our forefathers taught us; and called them abridgements of man's natural liberty; and vowed the destruction of all government, which they affirmed to be tyranny and oppression. These are indeed the principles of the party and most of our important patriots whose lives have pretty generally exhibited the constant violation of those principles are zealously employed in the work of darkness. In page 12 the Clintonians complain with great bitterness that on a certain occasion Burr gave this toast "an union of all honest men." That Mr. Burr's HONESTY did not dictate this toast can easily be believed; and that Jacobins should murmur at it, excites no surprise; but it is really wonderful that in a moment of anger and recrimination, their infernal malice should so far defer his cause as to suffer a public proclamation of their infamy. For a full account of the atrocities of democracy which New-York has exhibited I must recommend a perusal of these pamphlets and the other publications on the subject. We there perceive new modes of iniquity the exclusive discoveries of Jacobinism—we there see ingenuity tortured, truth violated, and talent prostituted to promote the ambition of the dominant party, to support and extend the power of Virginia and the southern states, and under the ridiculous professions of maintaining the spirit of '75 to establish passive obedience and non-resistance to the sovereignty of Virginia. I have not digressed from my subject; yet I have deviated from the intention expressed in my last number, and as this is extended beyond its usual length, a few remarks shall suffice because my next will so far comprehend the present subject, as to admit any further observations which my plan allows.
The ninth section of the constitution provides that "No monies shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law." Yet the infamous Callender, during Mr. Adams's administration was convicted upon a libel and sentenced to pay a fine of 200 dollars. The money was paid into the hands of the marshal, who was thereby instantly accountable to the treasury. Yet Mr. Jefferson ordered the money to be restored at the expence of the public chest! Even Jacobins cannot say there was a ny law to justify this procedure, but all agree that Callender had been employed to vilify the late administrations and lie the present party into power.
Mr. Jefferson expended 33,000 dollars for the repairs of the Berceau . Jacobins are silent on this subject even they have not effrontery enough to justify it.
It has been the wise policy of all enlightened nations, to preserve independent of each other, the Executive, Legislative, and judicial departments of government because if either can control the other the citizen is oppressed and civil liberty is at an end.—It was the policy of the constitution, founded in great wisdom, which the experience of all ages and all nations has sanctioned.—Yet our modern politicians, with motives as fierce as those which would annihilate moral obligations, have subjected our constitutional judges to the control of the legislative and executive branches.
The Constitution provides that our judges shall hold their offices during good behaviour; that is, they shall not be liable to be removed but by impeachment. The judges of our courts were selected from the wisest and best of our citizens. Such men are always friends of their country—Such men are always federalists, and for that reason always obnoxious to Jacobins.—Let us listen to democratic logic: We cannot, say they, remove them but by impeachment, because they are independent of us—we cannot impeach them because they have proved able and upright judges. The constitution provides that we shall not remove them from their offices; but it does not provide that we shall not take their offices from them; therefore, this we may do, and not violate the constitution.—This, Americans, is the language of men high in office, and political elevation. Such is the miserable resort of the opposers of sound principles, when they are driven to the hard necessity of covering their dangerous views and pernicious plans with the veil of aplausibility.—Apply this sophistry to some occurrence in common life. A man is thrown from his horse and breaks his neck. The murderer says I did not touch him, I only shot his horse from under him. This argument may be admitted in the new school, but the friend of sound principles would call it murder. But the most dangerous attack on the consti-
itution is the democratic amendment, relative to the presidential election. I say the most dangerous, because it points out to ambition a way in which the principles of Jacobinism may sacrifice the remainder of our liberties, and subject us to tyranny and despotism. A further investigation of this subject will be attempted in my comments upon the next toast.
Such are the principles of the party in power—such are their attachment to the constitution, and its principles—yet at every democratic feast we hear it toasted, with some such sentiments as is found in the text. They will employ every art against it.—They will sacrifice truth, honor and in some instances, even interest, to overthrow its principles, and slander its friends, yet in public, and in order to delude the uninformed, they will with affected solemnity give the toast, May it be supported as the great bulwark of lib-
FOR THE GAZETTE.
THE SOJOURNER—No. V.
"A man's principles give a complexion to his general character."
DECLITICAL principles to far influence man, that we are able to discover in their characters, or general deportment, looseness of morals, and disregard to conscientious integrity. Moral evil is predominant in their character. Even communications directly tend to weaken the moral faculty and inflame the corruptions of human nature and destroy virtuous deportment and sobriety of manners. All sentiments noticed, which tend to derogate the character of Deity and the christian religion, corrupt morals. When people believe, that they are freed from the ties of religion and are at liberty to propagate erroneous doctrines, corrupt not only their own morals but the morals of all such over whom their pernicious sentiments have influence. Bottomless corruption corrupt good manners.
The gospel scheme contains the most refined system of moral rectitude. Those, who feel disposed to live a morally virtuous life, will seek instruction from every system, that directs to moral rectitude and conscious integrity. Those, who disbelieve the gospel, are not seeking for moral rectitude; for no system of morals can tie with christianity in maxims for sobriety of manners.
Nothing more tends to corrupt the rising generation, than sacrilegious sentiments, propagated and defended by those, whose age and experience ought to maintain the purest gospel morality. When mankind are not influenced by religious principles their general deportment is guided by selfishness, by passion, by envy and every evil work, when they serve their turn or advance their interest. Speaking of religious or sacred institutions in a light and wanton manner, has a powerful effect in corrupting the morals of young people. That man who robs youth of their temporal interest does not so essentially injure them, as he, who by communicating erroneous sentiments, causes them to deny the christian faith, and consequently corrupts their morals. A child that is taught from infancy to despise religion and morality by the time he arrives at the years of cool and deliberate reflection, has his moral faculty so far weakened and destroyed that his conscience rarely upbraids him for the most heinous crimes. Nothing more keeps in vigor the moral faculty, than attention to religion. Vice is of a generating nature. One sin begets another, one crime leads to another. A youth religiously educated, if he become vicious, recoils at the first transgression; at the second less, and at the third still less, until he becomes so inured to all manner of vice, that his conscience seldom condemns him.
When religion, concord and unanimity prevails in a town or society at its first organization, it feels the happy effects for many generations. The purity of morals the sincerity of religious sentiments in the pilgrims of Leyden, gave such turn of mind and sobriety to succeeding generations, that the good effects are even visible now in the inhabitants, where they first placed themselves in New-England. Let us blush, my countrymen, at the awful depravity of the present age. Let us strive to bring back the golden age of primitive christianity.
Evil-mindedness to spread corrupt morals thro' society. The sobriety and exemplariness of one man is a mean by the blessing of God, of influencing others to goodness of heart and found morality. Although we are not to follow a multitude to do evil yet how many are influenced by bad examples to act unwisely and irreligiously. No doubt that many young people as well as old, may attribute their immorality and irreligion to bad examples as means by which they became to be habituated to evil courses. Unwearied pains are taken by unprincipled persons to infill into the minds of the more sober wrong ideas of religion and morality. By sentiment and example they strive to corrupt the good manners of others by ridiculing their serious views and religion. If they cannot corrupt them, they will by envy and slander strive to bring down their good name on a level with themselves. The great exertions made by the irre- ligious to corrupt others discovered that their cause is mean and their system false. They endeavour to make up in their scheme what is lacking in quality by quantity. A million of oaths would not make a falsehood a truth, nor would vice be virtue though practiced by a whole nation.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
ROME, JUNE 30.
The Emperor of the French has demanded of the Sovereign Pontiff to perform his coronation ceremony. This demand having been referred to the sacred college of Cardinals, they unanimously, (with the exception of Fesché , the Emperor's uncle) advised against it, as no such act had been performed by a sovereign Pontiff, for seven centuries; and it would offend the House of Austria, as Pius VI. in 1795 refused the same demand made by Leopold II. the Father of the present Emperor of Germany. In answer to this, Bonaparte , in his own hand, wrote a very threatening letter to the Pope, telling him, "that he craved to him alone and his moderation! that the temporal and spiritual power enjoyed by his Holiness—That it was an insult to his glory, and to the high dignity the Great Nation had conferred on him even to hesitate:—that as he had made Frenchmen of our christians so he would be able to make them Mussulmen, should the ungrateful conduct, superstitious sup- ples, or pusillanimous fears of his Holiness forced him to such an act." In return, Pius VII offered to substitute the Cardinal Fesché , and prevailed on Madam Bonaparte (the Emperor's mother) to join in recommending his acceptance of his substitute. This measure had no other effect than to enrage her son the more; who wrote to the Pope thus:—
"WE desire the Holy Father to choose between a retreat to a convent and a journey to Paris.
NAPOLÉON.
"PARIS, MAY 20." This has put a period to all correspondence and intreaty; and Gen. Champeaux has been sent to Rome to escort the Pope to France.
LONDON, July 16
We are assured, that Gen. Angereau had on the 28th ult. two long conferences with Bonaparte , previous to his departure for Brest . As

the last, Talleyrand, Berthier, and a few others and ministers of state, most in the confidence of the Corsican were present. Angereau is said to have pledged himself for the success of the landing in this country, provided the plan which he has himself projected for effecting the enterprise be adopted without any change or alteration, and Bonaparte is stated to have acquiesced in the condition.
Government fears fully impressed with the opinion that the moment draws near when the enemy will hazard the experiment of invasion. The greatest activity prevails in all our principal points of defence, and troops are in constant movement. The brigade of guards at Cobham, and in that quarter, was this morning to pass the Thames at Gravesend, and we understand that an encampment of 20,000 men will be immediately formed at Coxheath, in order to be ready to defend the Southern coast, or to embark for Ireland, as the exigency of affairs may require.
WARSAW, (Russia) JULY 5. His Majesty the Emperor, by a letter in his own hand writing, has affectionately invited Louis XVIII, to reside at Mittau, where all the honours due his high rank and virtues, shall be paid him. At the same time, giving an invitation to all French royalists, wherever dispersed, to settle in Russia, where they shall be protected and employed. The Emperor has also ordered the immediate formation of two emigrant corps, one to be commanded by Louis XVIII, and his brothers; to be called the "Royal Legion of honor;" and the other to bear the name of the illustrious victim to Corsican envy and malice, "D'Enghien." to be commanded either by the Prince of Conde, or the Duke of Bourbon.
From Berlin, June 23. —The most melancholy intelligence is continually arriving here of the havoc made by the recent inundation in Silesia, in the Landitz, &c. The city of Sagan has been entirely under water, and 50 houses completely destroyed; and in its environs several houses, bridges, and indeed whole villages, have been carried away by the force of the water; great numbers of sheep and oxen, and 40 persons have been drowned. At Christianstadt the border threatened the whole city with destruction; every one fled, and the bridges were forced along by the torrent. The inhabitants climbed upon the loftiest trees, in hopes of saving their lives, but these unable to withstand the violence of the water, were thrown down, and the unhappy persons who had taken refuge on their branches and their tops, were precipitated into a watery grave. Similar disasters have afflicted several other places; and even on the mountains the damage has been considerable. In South Pussia the fatal effect of this inundation has also been severely felt. Two whole families in going from one town to another, on a visit to their relations, were surrounded by the waters, and drowned.
BY THE MAILS.
New-York, September 7. At a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Society of Cincinnati of the state of New York, on Wednesday the 5th September, 1804.
The president presented a letter received by him from Major General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, vice president general of the Society of Cincinnati, which was read and attentively considered.—Whereupon, resolved unanimously, that this committee highly approved the sentiments expressed in the said letter, and that the secretary forthwith cause the same to be published.
WILLIAM POPHAM, Sec'y.
SIR, Charleston, S. C. Aug. 18. With deep affliction, I receive the account of our irreparable loss by the death of our late president general. This deplorable event has been sensibly felt and lamented in this part of the Union even by those who were not personally acquainted with him, and who did not coincide with him in politics. By me, who have witnessed his calm intrepidity and heroic valor, on trying occasions, and was acquainted with his transcendent abilities and amiable qualities and honoured with his particular friendship, his loss is most poignantly felt, and his memory will be ever most affectionately revered.
Is there no way of abolishing throughout the nation, this absurd and barbarous custom, to the observance of which he fell a victim? Dueling is no criterion of bravery, for I have seen cowards fight duels, and I am convinced real courage may often be better shown in the refusal than in the acceptance of a challenge. If the Society of Cincinnati, were to declare this abhorrence of this practice, and the determination of all their members to discourage it as far as they had influence, and on no account either to send or accept a challenge, it might tend to annul this odious custom, and would be a tribute of respect to the sentiments and memory of our late illustrious Chief. If the State Society of New-York should coincide with me in opinion, I should be glad to have their sentiments how best to carry it into execution; whether by submitting it to a meeting of the General Society at New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore, or by referring the matter at once to the different State Societies for their consideration.
I have this day received your favour of the 25th of July, and am much obliged to the State Society and yourself for it. With sentiments of great respect, I have the honour to be your most obedient servant, CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY. V. P. G. S. G. Col. W. S. Smith President of the New York State Society of Cincinnati.
Portland Gazette.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th, 1804.
The subscribers of the GAZETTE are respectfully informed that they will be speedily presented with their bills, which we hope will be promptly discharged. It is now more than six years since we have prosecuted this publication, at a very heavy expense. It is cheaper than any other paper ever printed in this district, and its circulation increasing, yet at this essential moment of public affairs, we must enlarge its further extension, and a ready discharge of our small bills, that we may give it new energies, and render it additionally useful in support of sound principles and good government, in proportion as its enemies are able to destroy its influence, and check its progress, in this correct and enlightened quarter of the Union. Being engaged in the cause of political truth, and a free elective government, we confidently rely on the patronage of all good men, of whatever profession. And we solicit men of talents and opportunity to come forward and contribute something of their information and knowledge to enrich our pages and add to the value of our labors.
To give our readers time and opportunity to become acquainted with the merits of the different federal candidates for electors of president and vice president, we shall occasionally publish the following list, which has thus far met the approbation of all who are interested in the welfare of the Union, and the preservation of the equal rights of every part of it.—This list is composed of men who labored hard to establish the federal and state governments, with an eye to the interest of the whole—and not the aggrandizement of one part at the expence of the other. They are men who see the necessity of having some checks to the ambition of an aspiring party, which seems willing to yield up the best interests of the country for a momentary popularity. Citizens! examine for yourselves; determine with candor; and convince the world you will yet be freemen.
FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL LIST CANDIDATES for ELECTORS, for 1804.

MR. JENKS. I was pleased to see a hint in Thursday's paper, relative to the printing of the tickets which seem to have been agreed upon, to be supported by the two parties at the ensuing choice of electors. There will surely be no impropriety in it, and certainly much convenience. The Citizens will be at liberty to strike out any name they dislike, and insert another; indeed as adherence to the list which has come out by a sort of general consent, will be necessary to the success of either party, there will be few instances of any individual wishing to change the candidates for others not generally to be supported. The great length of the list, and the several descriptions necessary to be prefixed and annexed to the name of each elector, will cause much delay and trouble at town meetings unless previous preparation is made; and if lists are to be prepared by individuals before the meeting I see not why they may not be printed as well as written. For one therefore I heartily concur in the proposition for printing; and hope, you will be prepared with the federal list for any persons who may call for them.
[Our correspondent is assured of our willingness to comply with his request; and if we discover no legal obstacle to the proposed method, we will immediately furnish the printed tickets to such as with them.]
The result of the New Hampshire election, furnishes a noble proof that nothing but a little energy is wanting to ensure the success of the federal cause in all parts of the Union. It is sincerely hoped this example will be followed in all the New-England states, particularly in Massachusetts; and silence a restless faction who are endeavouring to destroy our state governments, and thus rendering us a mere colony of the slave-holders of Virginia.

A letter from Charleston, dated Aug 22, says, "There is a little of the fever here among strangers; but the city is in general more healthy than could have been expected in so hot a season."

POETRY.
A MAROON SONG.
Haste, Haste, my companion! the night dews are o'er; From the mist skirted mountains the shadows are flown...
O'er the deep tangled thicket our toils shall prevail, In vain to the steep cliff the savage shall run; Where the cocoa extends to the balm scented gale, And the aloe expands its tall spires to the sun.
Ye spirits, that triumph'd in death o'er your foe, But left the dark sons of your race to complain; Ye that bade in your anguish, the heirs of your woe Be the heirs of your hatred, the chiefs of disdain;
If ye fail in your pride on the sun's flaming beam, If ye robe your stern shades in the mist's fleeting form; Or, if rather ye joy in the lightning's fierce gleam, And stride on the whirlwind, and trample the storm;
O come on your clouds o'er the wide rolling wave, To the hills of our freedom in triumph repair; For the blue mantled mountains are trod by the brave, And the dark dwelling sons of defiance are there.
Hark! the hora's swelling sounds call to danger away, And when the stern course of our pleasure is past; Though the whirlwinds of heav'n wake around us their way, We will heed not the tempest and sing to the blast.
Haste, haste, my companions the night dews are o'er; From the mist skirted mountains the shadows are flown; The bright morning star calls to the chase of the boar, And the rock's secret echoes are waiting his groan.
Agricultural.
To Farmers. — A pound of Turnip seed sown, after harvest, upon an acre of light sandy or gravelly land, that is poor or worn out by over ploughing; and where manure is wanting (the crop of which being ploughed in, when grown high) will, in two months time, die away and rot, and enrich the land, so as to prove as good a manuring as twenty loads of dung, or more, upon an acre.

JUST PUBLISHED. And in a few days will be ready for sale, and delivery to subscribers, at THOMAS CLARK'S Book Store, Fifth-street, Portland, AN EPITOME OF BOOK-KEEPING, BY DOUBLE ENTRY; designed for the use of Youth and Senior School Boys, but equally calculated for the instruction of Adults in every MERCANTILE LINE OF BUSINESS—comprising systematic unerring Rules for every transaction from commencement to closure of Books by Double Entry—Also Rules for keeping RETAIL BOOKS by Double Entry, without altering the proceeds of Single Entry for Daily Sales of Merchandise;—to which is added the most easy and concise method of calculating any rate of Per Cent and other matters relative and appendage to Accountantship, with Rules for Teaching Scholars. Extract from the Work.
"The object of this work is to initiate youth when at the last stage of schooling, and to insure their having a right conception of Book-Keeping by Double Entry, and the rules appertaining thereto, so that on their entering into the merchant's employ, or actual engagements in business, they may be able without the smallest difficulty to make themselves perfect. "The author having by numerous trials proved that the work is perfectly adequate to the proposed object, he humbly submits the same to the investigation of a candid public, to that of the honorable gentlemen who preside over public schools, and to school-masters throughout the United States who may be disposed to give a fair trial of the merit of the work; hoping their indulgence for any deficiencies which may possibly, from inevitable circumstances, occur in the first edition, and promising that these on appearance shall be duly rectified, if it should happily meet their encouragement & countenance to revise and improve the work in a new edition. "The author does not pretend that the strength of a boy's capacity is competent to determine intricate accounts, which is the business of mature age and experience alone, but the method of simple charges and discharges occurring in daily transactions of business, carried on in a regular train; the rules for commencement and progression, and those for adjustment at closure of books, may be acquired perfectly by a few months practice, be gotten by heart in a few hours, and at all times are a sure guide upon reference thereto. "With a knowledge of the principles and rules so easily obtained, the advantages to youth on their entrance into actual engagements in business, or employment in a counting house, would be found of much greater consequence than can be almost possibly conceived. "Such youths would become greater proficient in Book-keeping by double entry, after fewer months of actual employment, than they would otherwise be in a greater number of years. "The author has purposely waived the acceptance of recommendation (though not the judgment) offered him by the most judicious merchants, not willing to forfeit favorable sentiments by such means, but leaving the intrinsic merit of the work to the decision of a candid public, after investigation and experience of its efficacy."
Subscribers will please to apply to Thomas Clark, the proprietor of the Edition, for the number they have subscribed for—Price to non-subscribers, One Dollar, bound—Twenty-five cents half bound. Portland, August 27, 1804.
