Review of Mr. JEFFERSON'S Administration.
WE have now arrived at the time, when Mr. Jefferson sent his third message to congress in 1803. Were we certain that it was destined to be the last but one, he should ever send to that body, as president, we should experience greater pleasure in the consideration of it, than a belief of prejudiced feelings in the people will permit us to enjoy. This pleasure would not arise from personal enmity, but from a sincere conviction, that he has used unprincipled means to obtain national confidence, and then unfaithfully betrayed it. Whatever may be the fate of the nation, whether to be governed by Mr. Jefferson, or some other person, it is the duty of every one to attempt to ward of impending evils arising from a deceptive and selfish policy. We shall therefore in this number concisely examine the topics, and expose some part of the false colouring of the message.
The executive begins by informing congress "that they witnessed at their late session the extraordinary agitation produced in the public mind, by the suspension of our right of deposit at New Orleans, no assignment of another place having been made according to treaty, and that they were sensible, that the continuance of that privation would be more injurious to our nation, than any consequences, which could flow from any mode of redress." It is true, congress witnessed the agitation of the public mind, but their conduct was such, as could by no means justify the latter opinion. Instead of asserting the violated rights of our nation in the manly and independent manner recommended in the resolution of Mr. Griswold, they resorted to Mr. Randolph's expression of the excitement of the just sensibilities. This, instead of being a mode of redress, was so weak and childish an evidence of our determination to maintain our rights, unless other measures had afterwards been adopted, the haughty Spaniards would have continued their aggression until the present time. Whence then did the president infer that our rights would have been asserted by other measures, than those which had been used, had they not been restored? From a consciousness that national indignation would have overwhelmed his administration, if force to him alone, an incomprehensible idea, had not been finally used to repel aggression. The right of deposit has however been restored, not in consequence of the expression of our sensibility, but from the adoption of an act, which might ultimately produce war. This restoration of our place of deposit has fortunately rescued the executive from a situation, in which his conduct must have rendered him contemptible to the world.
Congress having appropriated two millions of dollars to purchase New Orleans and adjacent territory, which should secure to us the navigation of the Mississippi and those streams, emptying into it, the next information from the president is, "that the enlightened government of France saw with just discernment the importance to both nations of such liberal arrangements as might best and permanently promote the peace, friendship, and interests of both." Here openly break forth those partial sentiments toward France, which Mr. Jefferson has long been accused of entertaining. Unless a government be termed enlightened, which has been distinguished for its dishonesty, ambition, perfidy, injustice and tyranny they can have no claim to the appellation. The justice of it must be sought for not in her conduct, but in her affection, which would hazard our national existence to assist her in her plans of aggrandizement. Certain of the feelings of the administration of France saw the ease, with which the treasure of this country might be appropriated to her own use, and has not neglected to seize the favourable opportunity. For fifteen millions of dollars we have acquired from her a title to property, the maintenance of which may subject us to war, or the payment of additional millions. It however answers the purpose of the executive, if no immediate evil arise from the transaction, which may endanger his popularity. He can calmly survey his collection of materials, which may hereafter deprive us of our sovereignty, or light the fire of war, to be extinguished only by the best blood of the nation.
The account of progressive improvement among the savages must be pleasing to every one, desirous of beholding barbarism transformed into civilization. The executive says, "with many of the other Indian tribes," having spoken of the Kiskakias, "improvements in agriculture and household manufactures are advancing, and with all our peace and friendship are established on grounds much firmer, than heretofore." While a knowledge of the meliorated situation of the Indians is a subject of satisfaction, it must be matter of regret to the enemies of party, that Mr. Jefferson should eagerly seize every opportunity to reflect on the conduct of his predecessors. Scarcely has he made a communication, which does not display former misconduct with a happy reverse. Every ill judged act is charged to the federal administration, while his own is the perfection of human wisdom. From his arrangements the Indians are in their present flourishing state, though government, instead of organizing or increasing, have taken measures to lessen the revenue. Is this the man, whom the inaugural speech presented to us destitute of passion or party feeling? Is he not rather the hypocrite, described in numerous predictions before his election? Instead of attacking the reputation of greater men, he ought to fear for his own. Posterity, however he may blind the eyes of the present generation, will not deprive Wash-
ington and Adams of the laurels of a well earned fame, to encircle his temples. The arts of the demagogues will not avail him. His character will be justly estimated. He will stand among the multitude of national deceivers.
The president does not forget to declare the amount of the national debt, he has caused to be paid. He even repeats the amount of discharges of the last year; supposing that the sum of payment of the debt for two years would be more agreeable to the community, than an unembellished account of one; or presuming the people from weakness of recollection might be ignorant of the payment of the preceding year, unless they were again informed of it. Whether these reasons may be assigned as motives for his conduct, this at least is evident, that his darling popularity is the governing principle of all his actions. Seldom has he done anything, in which this trait in his character is not preeminently conspicuous. The people are next informed, "that they ought to merit the character of a just nation and maintain that of an independent one, preferring every consequence to insult and habitual wrong." The sentiment in the first part of the sentence is correct; that, contained in the last, would have been more the language of a man, conscious of the strength and affection of those whom he governed, had it not been qualified by the term habitual . On a slight view it appears specious, yet it will admit of a construction, which will reconcile the actions and opinions of the president, should he even disavow the use of the means of defence to repel an attack on our commerce. Spanish depredations on our commerce, occasionally made, are not habitual wrong. Our "conclusion" from New Orleans is not habitual wrong. The destruction of our property in the West-Indies by French pirates is not habitual wrong. It is a maxim, which, if known to be a principle of our government, would invite the avarice and ambition of all nations. In short it is a maxim, worthy the courageous brave , and magnanimous spirit of Mr. Jefferson.
"Separated by a wide ocean from the nations of Europe, with productions and wants, which render our commerce and friendship useful to them, and theirs to us, it cannot be the interest of any to assail us, nor ours to disturb them." Does not then the executive know, that the passions of men frequently prevent them from pursuing their true interest; that a desire of the possessions of others often prompts them to commit injustice? This may be a beautiful description of what men ought to be, not what they are. Real life presents a far different picture. The contemplation of the abstract "perfection" of human nature may be delightful to a modern philosopher, an enthusiastic sceptic; but to adopt it as a rule in national government must soon be destructive to national existence.
We have now merely noticed the most striking parts of the message; a more ample discussion of it may be the part of an abler pen. To those, who know the man, a general description of it may easily be given. It is sufficient to say, that, it is a message of Mr. Jefferson.

FROM THE REPERTORY.
THE APPROACHING ELECTION.
SO many circumstances have taken place, tending to confirm the opinion which federalists long entertained, respecting the views and policy of the present administration, it may be unnecessary to offer arguments to convince them of their duty, in supporting federal principles. But the imminent danger, to which our political welfare is exposed, calls aloud for UNANIMITY, in the Northern States. We feel a strong assurance that were the real situation of our most valued political privileges known, there is not a man of common virtue, sense and understanding, whatever may have been his politics, who would not most zealously unite with us in aiding the common cause of our PERISHING LIBERTIES. With a hope, therefore, of contributing in some degree to an issue so deservingly to be wished, the editor now addresses himself to all classes, and hopes that his patrons will hand this paper to those, who, differing from us in sentiment, will never hear of these FACTS from their own presses. As the charges we have to make are direct; it is proper to assume a direct responsibility ; we therefore wave the editorial style, and pledge ourselves personally and solemnly for the truth of our remarks.
To the Citizens of Massachusetts.
Ever since the institution of our present form of national government, a difference of sentiment has existed on that subject, distinctly marking two political parties. The Federalists, or framers and advocates of the Federal government, and the anti federalists, a class embracing both those who were opposed generally to any national government, which should exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers over all the states, and those, who, willing to admit that, considered the form of government adopted as not sufficiently democratic . Disputes arising from this difference of sentiment have long agitated the public mind, and have only become of less moment, by a comparison with new considerations, affecting the dearest privileges which any Republican form of government can bestow.
An opinion is now entertained by the federalists, that a party in our national government, in which the agents of Virginia take the lead, have effected an actual and formidable combination, for the exclusive management of the affairs of the nation. An opinion of this kind, it is evident must give a serious alarm to every
man who possesses the least attachment to representative government; or who is not willing to consign his most valued rights to the sole direction of those who have an opposite interest of their own. This opinion has been publicly expressed. It has excited much speculation; and while the destructive consequences of such a combination have been admitted by all, a portion of the community has insisted that no such combination existed, and that the suggestion originated in party malignity alone.
On this very serious and interesting question, the parties already formed, have taken different ground. The Federalists see and believe that the liberties of the northern states, and especially with our present representation in Congress, are sacrificed to the domineering spirit, the avarice and pride of the southern combination, and that it behoves us, as we love our freedom, as we respect our dignity and independence, to send those and those only to represent us, who will be firm in defence of our injured rights - and like men, like patriots, step boldly forward on the floor of Congress, to stem the tide of Virginian usurpation.
The democrats on the other hand, are loud in their denunciations of the Federalists for proclaiming these jealousies. They insist that the administration of government is correct and disinterested; that the alarms of federalists are unfounded, and those of our northern representatives, who have given their voice and influence in favour of the ruling party, merit the confidence and support of all.
Election is at hand, and the decision of this question is of infinitely greater moment than all the speculations which are generally the subjects of our party disputes. The democrats themselves admit the destructive consequences of an ascendant local interest in Congress, but they deny the fact, and therefore propose those, for re-election, who have been accused of meanly joining the ranks of our usurpers.
A review of the conduct of Virginia, at the time the constitution was proposed, through the whole of the two former administrations, and particularly since the election of Mr. Jefferson, would lead any candid, reflecting mind to adopt the jealousies and fears of the federalists. But the process would, a present, be tedious, and I shall state facts, which being admitted, require no candour - they require but common sense, and complete conviction must follow.
The public and official declaration of Major Butler is evidence of that kind, which must be irresistible, wherever it is known. It has been cautiously concealed from the friends of the administration, in this part of the country, by their leaders. They never have disputed, nor dare they deny its authenticity; nor will they pretend that major Butler's evidence is to be discredited. Here then is proof positive ! - Mr. Butler has, and does rank high as a democrat in principle; he is a Senator in Congress - he has witnessed the movement of that body, and without renouncing any of his political maxims, he has thus exposed and protested against the Virginian conspiracy in the following words:
"I had not long been in senate since my last election, before I perceived a combination among certain large states, unfair in itself, and dangerous in its consequences, to the rights of other states: they hold evening meetings, to decide what shall take place or prevail in senate. Into this combination they have drawn two or three of the small states, and by this combination nothing is suffered to come fairly before the senate, that is not either brought forward by one of the party, or has not their previous sanction. To such a state of things I could not - I cannot - I will not submit, without expressing my concern and disapprobation - concern, because I expected a very different conduct from gentlemen with whom I hoped to have been in unison - disappointment at finding these men, who before a revolution in the public mind took place, professed a jealous regard for equal rights, now in power, the first to subvert the principles of which they wished to be thought the advocates.
Is it possible for evidence to be more complete or satisfactory?
But I have other facts to state. The overbearing disposition of the Virginian leaders in Congress has been equally felt and understood by some of our Northern Representatives. I will not say that either Mr. Corwinfield or Seaver has had the discernment to ascertain this circumstance however obvious.
These unfortunate gentlemen seem to enter conscientiously into the service of their new masters, without knowing that they are enslaving themselves and their constituents. But Dr. Eustis and Gen. Varnum, as well as Mr. Elliot of Vermont, see and are alarmed; they have not been insensible to the degradation of New England. These gentlemen during the session, held many conferences with one another, and some of them with federalists, on the ruinous influence of the Virginian confederacy. - Mr. Varnum thus expressed himself to a federal member from New England. - "It is now evident that the views of certain men of influence, in the majority, endanger the interests and independence of the northern states. They must be opposed or we are ruined. - The northern members, continued he, must unite; our party disputes must be done away, and we must consult our safety and security by cordially blending our exertions for the support of the northern interests." - Such were the ideas suggested by Ge-
neral Varnum, and this assertion I solemnly pledge myself to support.
Now, citizens of Massachusetts, reflect on these things. You have proof to which you cannot refuse assent, that in legislative department of our nation, a party exists which has reduced congressional deliberation, to an empty form, while the most important affairs of state are decided by a cabal, in which the interests of the large states decide every question. The very foundation of our republican system is destroyed by reducing representation to a name and nothing else. Even those who were in opposition to the last administration now see and privately confess that national government is at an end, and that local interests sway the movements of the legislative body as well as the executive.
In this critical situation of affairs, what has been the conduct of your representatives? A fair answer to this inquiry must certainly, with men who deserve the name of freemen, determine the propriety, or inexpediency of re-election.
Messieurs Eustis and Varnum were witnesses to the scene of usurpation which has prostrated our rights. While acknowledging this to each other, what have they done? Have they been true to their trust? Have they espoused our declining cause with the zeal of patriots or have they like cowards - nay I may say like traitors, abandoned the interests of their constituents? -
Let the journals of Congress decide. Here we find proof, "strong as holy writ," that instead of supporting them, they have disgracefully assented to measures, introduced and carried with a view to annihilate forever the influence of the northern states. With their eyes open to the ruinous policy in process, they dare not at least, they did not even remonstrate. Since their return, have they come forward to inform the minds and correct the prejudices of the deluded worshippers of Virginia? - No; here again their courage and their integrity failed them. At first they said little, but as the day of election approached, they supported those very errors which they were in duty bound to combat, and having confirmed the unhappy delusion which has prevailed among their party, they have gone back to Congress to complete the measure of our disgrace; nor is there a remote probability that they will there advance sentiments which they dare not at home.
Must we then give up our freedom? Think of this seriously, you who value it. The combination in congress to rule us without our consent, is supported by evidence strong as the light of day. - The conduct of Eustis and Varnum, you see, has been knowingly and wilfully treacherous. Now what will you do? - Can you hesitate a moment? There is, among the citizens of New England, a large majority, alive to these injuries and anxious to repel them by every constitutional means. Will you not consult your own welfare and unite with them. Will you in the face of evidence and reason disclaim your dear bought privileges? Reflect - reflect seriously, for the moment is at hand, when you must act.
Before an election, men who would use their right in voting as becomes enlightened citizens, consulting the welfare of their country, should not only have the individual candidates in view, but the general principles on which they mean to act. In Suffolk district this same Doctor Eustis, whose conduct has been described, is nominated as one candidate. Is there the smallest probability that this gentleman will change his tone to oppose "the combination"? If not who can conscientiously give him a vote? On the other hand, a gentleman has been sought, whose disposition to import our freedom and an administration founded on equitable, constitutional principles are satisfactorily ascertained. A question which deeply affects your interests is before you, and it is sincerely to be hoped that no consideration whatever will cancel the great duty of self preservation.
In the full confidence of being able to substantiate whatever there may be of personal reflection in the above remarks, the whole is respectfully submitted by J. PARK.
BOSTON, OCT 31.
Yesterday, the Hon. JOHN ADAMS, late president of the United States, entered the 70th year of his age. - May the evening of his valued life be as serene, as brilliant, and as delightful, as was this his natal anniversary. A large company of gentlemen celebrated the day, at Concert Hall , with suitable festivity and joy.
Capt. Geary, arrived at Norfolk, from Nantz, which he left about the 1st. Sept. informs that a frigate of 50 guns was lying at Nantz, ready for sea, waiting to take on board Commissioners to the government of the United States, on business relative to St. Domingo. We have accounts from Nantz, of a later date, which do not mention this subject.
Information has been received that the American Minister at the Spanish Court, had arrived at Cadiz from Madrid, to embark for America.
Our last accounts from Gibraltar state, that the Essex frigate had been ordered to remain there, as a check upon the Moors, of whose pacific disposition some doubts were entertained.
It is said the British Government has superceded the commander of the Cambrian frigate, off New-York, for his conduct on that station.
It is stated in Savannah papers that Mr. Burr has been waited on by all the public characters in that city; and that he set out on the 5th inst., for the seat of government.

To the People of Maine
THE election which will take place on Monday next, is of great importance to this Commonwealth, not because a change in the federal administration can possibly be effected, if the federal ticket for electors should be ever so successful;
The interests and policy of the Northern States have always militated against the interests and policy of the Southern, in many cases need scarcely be mentioned, for it is a truth admitted by all.
A stipulation that only should be represented in one part of the union, and that only a large portion of the property should be represented by another part, was perhaps the greatest concession that free men ever made;
Let us note the consequence of this superiority given to the Southern States, at the time of taking the last census:
Table with 2 columns: State, Number. Rows: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.
All the States, except Massachusetts and Connecticut had slaves; for at the time of taking the census in 1800, New Hampshire returned eight.
The free citizens of Maryland sent to Congress 9 Representatives—the like number in Massachusetts could find but 5.
Table with 2 columns: State, Number. Rows: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.
Thus it appears that the whole of the free men of these five States, which are quoted as instances, are entitled by the constitution to about one third more in their portion of the national legislature than the like number of free men would be in the New England States.
era states; but it should ever be remembered that it was given up by the federalists, because they could not secure the adoption of the constitution in any other mode;
It is not my intention to follow the progress of democratic principles through all the labyrinths of their falsehoods, and misrepresentations, in which they seem to have exhausted even Jacobin ingenuity and sophistry.
The demo's advocate this mode, and insist that the majority ought to rule, for this plain reason, that they entirely extinguish the minority and the slave among us, who are SLAVES to the slave influence, justify their southern brethren; yet they, being the minority in our state, are outrageous in their clamors against it, for fear that upon the principle of their own party, the same doctrine should prevail in Massachusetts, which their brethren have adopted in the southern states.
It will easily be seen that those states, which modern philosophy has not yet debased, where the genuine federal principles of Washington are still revered, are driven to the necessity of adopting a principle in which the majority shall rule in self defence.
What is the meaning of all this?—It appears to me to be plain, that the anti-federalists who have ever labored against New-England and the constitution, from the first, who were at length successful, in consequence of their holding slaves, (and they never could have been but for these slaves) whose masters were entitled to vote; that having placed their president in the chair, and their party into full possession of every place of honor and trust;
The democrats have already gained such firm footing, that the great objects for which our fathers fought and bled, our independence, and the rights of free men, are already subverted.
revolution. We are now in a state of passive obedience and non-resistance to Virginia, and are tax without our own consent, and unless our struggles succeed to regain our lost freedom we shall soon be bound in all cases whatsoever.
Attend then fellow-citizens on Monday next; your rights, your freedom, your sovereignty, is at stake. Manfully assert the character of freemen, and rescue the principles of your revered Washington from the tyranny of Virginia.
