EIGHTH CONGRESS
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
At the Second Session, be-
gun and held at the City
of Washington, in the
Territory of Columbia,
on the Fifth day of No-
vember, 1804.
AN ACT
To divide the Indiana Territory into two sepa-
rate governments.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives of the United States of Ameri-
ca, in Congress assembled, That from and after
the thirtieth day of June next, all that part of the
Indiana Territory, which lies North of a line
drawn East from the southerly bend or extreme
of lake Michigan, until it shall intersect lake Erie,
and East of a line drawn from the said souther-
ly bend through the middle of said lake to its
northern extremity, and thence due North to
the northern boundary of the United States,
shall for the purpose of temporary government,
constitute a separate territory, and be called Mi-
chigan.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That there
shall be established within the said territory, a
government in all respects similar to that pro-
vided by the ordinance of Congress, passed
on the thirteenth day of July, one thousand seven
hundred and eighty seven, for the govern-
ment of the territory of the United States North
West of the river Ohio: And by an act passed
on the seventh day of August, one thousand seven
hundred and eighty nine, entitled "An act to
provide for the government of the Territory
North West of the river Ohio;" and the inhab-
itants thereof shall be entitled to, and enjoy all
and singular the rights, privileges, and advan-
tages granted and secured to the people of the
territory of the United States, North West of
the river Ohio, by the said ordinance.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the
officers for the said Territory, who, by virtue
of this act, shall be appointed by the President of
the United States, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, shall respectively exercise
the same powers, perform the same duties, and
receive for their services the same compensations
as by the ordinance aforesaid and the laws of the
United States, have been provided and establish-
ed for similar officers in the Indiana Territory;
and the duties and emoluments of Superintend-
ant of Indian affairs shall be united with those of
Governor.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That
nothing in this act contained, shall be construed
so as, in any manner, to effect the government

than to prohibit the exercise thereof, within the
said territory of Michigan, from and after the
aforesaid thirtieth day of June next.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That all
fairs, process and proceedings, which, on the
thirtieth day of June next, shall be pending in

the said thirtieth day of June next, shall be
pending in the general court of the Indiana Ter-
ritory, in consequence of any writ of removal,
or order for trial at bar, and which had been re-
moved from any of the counties included within
the limits of the Territory of Michigan afore-
said, shall, in all things concerning the same be
proceeded on, and judgments and decrees ren-
dered thereon in the same manner as if the
said Indiana Territory had remained undivid-
ed.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That De-
troit shall be the seat of government of the said
territory, until Congress shall otherwise direct.

From the POLITICAL BAROMETER.
Political View of the U. States.
NO important changes have taken place within the year past, as it respects the United States in their relation with foreign powers; neither have we any thing extraordinary to record, which has happened during that time, in a local point of view, except it be the rapid encrease of republican principles, which will be noticed in our remarks on the individual States.
The United States is the only country on earth in which a republican form of government exists. And we are now, in the presence, and under the scrutinizing eyes of all nations, making the all-important experiment, whether a government, arising from, and depending on the will of an enlightened people, is the best for man. Should it so be found, we may have the happy prospect of looking forward to a day of political perfection, so far as perfection can mingle with human institutions. But should it prove otherwise, we must, however reluctantly, admit the melancholy fact, from whatever cause it may arise, that the people are unfit to govern themselves.
An extensive field here opens before us. Would time & our limits admit, we might advert back to the laws of Moses, of Solomon and of Lycurgus; to the legislative system of kingdoms, empires, and states, some of which have assumed the popular names of republics; we might examine those systems in their formation, operation, and consequences, and from a comparison with our present politics, and form of government, draw, at least, some conjectural, perhaps useful inferences.—This however, our set bounds forbid—the restricted columns of a weekly paper.
Much satisfactory information might be also derived, from a history of our own government since its constitutional existence. This would we cheerfully go into, were we not prohibited by the reasons given above.
To the eye not dimmed by the mists of party delusion; to the mind not under the influence of party prejudice, the present political state of our nation must appear more prosperous, more glorious, than at any former period. At peace with the world; (the petty power of Tripoli excepted) rich in finances, encreasing revenue; public debt decreasing, and soon likely to become extinct; national embarrassments removed, national confidence confirmed, and all our affairs in a prosperous train, and that train like to continue, notwithstanding the sneers and revilings of the opposition, so long as the administration of JEFFERSON and CLINTON shall remain. We now proceed to our remarks on the individual States.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE.—“A host hath overcome thee, but thou hast overcome at last.” The Governor federal; the Legislature republican. Politics have been warmly contested in this State, and victory has finally declared on the right side; Republicanism is now triumphant.
MASSACHUSETTS.—“There is more joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons.” Great changes in this State, and sooner than was, by many, expected. Repeated trials of strength

have taken place here, but the republicans, by a coup de main carried all before them at last.—Federalism is left to mourn its faded honors, while Massachusetts has arrayed itself under the banners of Republicanism.
RHODE-ISLAND —"The archers have sorely wounded thee, shot at thee, and hated thee, but thy bow abode in strength." Rhode-Island became regenerated, and stood firm to the post of republicanism when all her sister New-England States were federal, and firm she still remains. She is perhaps the most unsophisticated State in the Union.
CONNECTICUT —"Instruments of cruelty are in their councils. O my my soul, come not thou into their secrets; upon their Assembly , mine honor, be thou not united! for in their anger they flew a man , and in their self-will they digged down a wall . Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath for it was cruel! Their rulers have deceived the people; they have cried, A conspiracy! when there was no conspiracy." For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, but ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble; ye have been partial in the law; ye have daubed with untempered mortar; lo! when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?" A people scientific, enlightened, and polite, and justly famed for practical morality, and an adherence to the civic virtues. The foundation and the key-stone of Federalism.—Here has its powers been exercised in a high handed manner; here has its persecuting sword been unsheathed, and here, after having been discomfited in almost every part of the Union, has it retired, concentrated its forces, planted its standards, stored its magazines, and like pent up fires of Aetna , "thunders throughout all its caves." While republicanism advancing with slow yet steady and sure approaches, skirmitishes with its advanced parties, drives in its out posts, and will soon beat up its quarters, and storm its encampment. The enlightened freemen of Connecticut are about to convince their leaders the danger of insulting the dignity and the rights of man.
VERMONT —"He giveth peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of wheat, because thou hast chosen the right way." A federal governor still, but republican in every thing else.
NEW-YORK —"Thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise, thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies. From the prey art thou gone up; he couched as a lion, and as an old lion, who shall rouse him?" If the republicans of New-York do but act wisely; if they exercise the same policy in securing their victory, as they did to obtain it; if they take care not to divide against themselves, then will they remain great, powerful and victorious, and will soon lead the politics of the Union.—But we are not without fears that "evil is before
us." Let those, should there be any such, who may suppose the above application inappropriate, or too severe, let them call to mind the conduct of the federal leaders in Connecticut for a few years past. They will recollect the monarchal principles expressed by Tracy, Allen, &c. the political persecutions which many republicans have experienced from those in power, especially on electional occasions; the opposition to the Jeffersonian administration in which the clergy joined, thus, mingling politics with divinity. They will recollect the late unprecedented inquisitorial proceedings of their Assembly (Legislature) in compelling a member to submit to the degradation (as they would with to have it considered) of a public reprimand from the Speaker, only for declaring his sentiments on the floor of that House: In revoking the commissions of certain magistrates, men of the first grade of eminence in their stations, only for expressing their opinions on a public question which had for a long time agitated the politics of that State; and which act of violence is believed to be the ultimate, if not the primitive cause, of hurrying a valuable citizen, the amiable and patriotic Judd, to the silent tomb; thus abrogating the liberty of speech; thus virtually "slaying a man," and thereby digging or breaking down the wall of partition between right and wrong, justice and injustice, outrage and order . Let those things be considered, and who will say that the foregoing application is unjust!
us." Let Republicans, therefore, WATCH! lest in such an hour as they think not of, trouble cometh suddenly upon them.
NEW-JERSEY —"Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people, and hast put down mine enemies." After various fluctuations, federal magic so far succeeded as to lop away the State executive for one year, but here the delusion ended. Republicanism arose like a mighty wind and put down the opposition. In many counties, federalists, at their late election, made no resistance.
PENNSYLVANIA —"Federalists we know, and Burrites we know, but who are these?" Something called a third party has given Republicans in this State a little trouble of late; but they were defeated, though it has been said they were joined by the federalists.
DELAWARE —"Unstable as water; a strong ass, couching down between two burdens." This State has been federal, and republican, and now it is federal again; and yet, it is said, that their census gives more republicans than federalists in the State.
MARYLAND —"For the divisions of Reben there were great searchings of heart." Last year this State was unitedly republican; this year one district has given two federal electors. They will manage things better hereafter.
VIRGINIA —"The first born; the the beginning of strength. From thence is the Shepherd, the stone of Israel. From thee, the sceptre shall not depart, nor a law giver from between thy feet, until ( the political ) Shiloh come, and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." The eldest State, from thence Washington, the Shepherd of Columbia. From thence is Jefferson; from whom the administration shall not depart , until Republicanism reigns triumphant in every State in the Union.
NORTH-CAROLINA —"And ye shall be enriched with the gold of Ophir, because ye continue firm to the faith." Uniformly republican.—It will be remembered that the gold mine is in this State.
SOUTH-CAROLINA —"I know that thou hast labored & not fainted; but I have one thing against thee, that thou hast those who hold the doctrine of slavery, which thing I hate." It is a matter of serious lamentation and regret, that so republican a State as South-Carolina, should still advocate and legalize perpetual slavery.
GEORGIA —"The burden of the desert of the sea; as whirlwinds of the south pass through." So prevails republicanism in the State of Georgia.
KENTUCKY —"Watchman, what of the night? Watchman what of the night? And he cried a Lion : My lord I stand continually upon the watch-tower, and am in my ward whole nights." There is not a more vigilant or watchful State, or one more jealous of its political interests in the Union than this.
TENNESSEE —"The Wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." Increasing in population, wealth and correct principles.
OHIO —"Take us the foxes, the little foxes which spoil the vines: For our vines have tender grapes." Federalists few, little, and mischievous in this young and tender State.
PROVINCE OF MAINE —"We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: What shall we do for her in the day when she shall be spoken for?" Admit her with full privileges, into the Union. With New-Hampshire, she has become regenerated, and therefore a fit subject for all the rights and immunities of government.
TERRITORIES —"And their coasts were from Arero of the Gentiles, unto Kirjath-jearim, the valley of palm-trees, and the hill country of the Anakims, towards the going down of the sun, unto the great sea." The Territories are republican, waiting their probationary season to become States, and extending their limits towards the Pacific Ocean.
LOUISIANA —"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf & the young lion shall play together, the cow & the bear shall feed and their young ones shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat hay with the ox." Divided also into territories, composed of Americans, French, Spaniards, Creoles and Indians—Lions, Bears, Tigers, Leopards, & Lambs. Politics yet in their infancy. The refining powers of our government will correct, purify, & sublimate them, until they mingle & unite with the republican mass.
SYNOPSIS —On a review we find that of more than TWENTY incorporated and unincorporated States, the federalists have but ONE, (and a small one) on which they can calculate for any degree of strength, or with any degree of security, as the little petite State Delaware is wavering and changeable, and of but trifling consequence any where. Alas! alas! How, indeed how are the mighty fallen! And now leaving our readers calmly to contemplate on the present prosperous state of our country, and form calculations and conjectures as to its future glory, we close with the following appropriate, and prophetic lines of an American poet of the first eminence, figuratively addressed to Columbia by the guardian genius of her clime.
"To conquest and slaughter let Europe aspire, Whelm nations in blood, and wrap cities in fire; Thy heroes the RIGHTS OF MANKIND shall defend, And triumph pursue them, and glory attend. A world is thy realm—for a world be thy laws, Enlarg'd as thy empire, and just as thy cause; On Freedom's broad basis that empire shall rise, Extend with the main, and dissolve with the skies."
It is said, that if Mr. JEFFERSON is re-elected it will lead to his re-election for life, & so on to despotism! Is there any more symptoms of this now, than there was at the re-election of either of his predecessors? Is there any thing in the manners and principles of Mr. Jefferson to justify such a conclusion? Is he prompted to despotic sway, by the innate love of military fame, which ever adorned a Washington; or will he find it advisable to resort to the aid of a standing army, that miserable substitute for the ebbing affections of the People? While Mr. Jefferson's character, among the great body of his fellow men, entitles him to their confidence and love, he will be, & he ought to be re-elected; when he forfeits their confidence he cannot be re-elected, even if he would. [ B. Chron.
It is worthy of remark, that the Essex Junto find fault with every transaction of the Federal Government: If a man declines a public office, then the President is abused, and if he accepts , then the person nominated is calumniated for officiating in his office! The fact is, that the Junto will never be easy till they can monopolize all emoluments, & will ever find fault when an appointment takes place, which in some measure checks their arrogance.
The barking of a few hirelings, who have neither property nor character, will be treated with that contempt their impertinence merits. ib.
CONSISTENCY
The Feds cannot (as Friends say) "find freedom to inopore Mr. Jefferson, because say they, he is an infid." Yet the Feds can without hesitation give their votes to Mr. Pinckney, who is a reputed Deist, and disbeliever in all revelation!
The Feds are so fearful of "Southern influence," that they are jealous of Mr. Jefferson's living in Virginia.
Yet they can place full confidence in Mr. Pinckney, a native of South-Carolina!
Thus do these gentlemen "strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel."

NEWPORT, Thursday, Jan. 31, 1805.
No Mail had arrived in town since Saturday last, when our paper was put to press, owing, it is presumed, to the uncommon severity of the weather for several days past—which will account in some measure for the dearth of News in this day's Republican.
COMMUNICATION.
The young men of Newport (say some of our fashionable belles) are destitute of all Spirit—No Assemblies—No Balls—No parties of diversion whatever for us.—They take all the pleasure to themselves in suppers, card parties, revelries, &c. &c. while we are obliged to mope out the winter at home, with a good fire, wholesome food, and refreshing slumbers. Who is there that is so unfeeling, as not to pity your forlorn, deplorable condition! while there are many of your sex at this very moment, who are, through the severities of the season, not only subjected to the extremes of cold and hunger, but confined to their miserable habitations by disease, unable to ask those charities from your hands which their disordered, impoverished condition craves.—The cries of the unfortunate demand a portion of that care which is spent on the frivolities of dress and amusements.—The property which is yearly expended on superfluities merely, and that which is wasted by the young men in luxuries and dissipation, would, if saved, be properly bestowed, raise many of our fellow-citizens from the bed of sorrow, and rescue others from the pangs of poverty & distress.
In most of the large towns within the United States, benevolent societies are formed, not only by the males, but by females, for the purpose of administering comfort to the distressed widow and orphan. Why Newport should be so long have remained a stranger to this female association, is not a question of surprise.—They are not more interested in dissipation than those of other places, who have contributed to the ruin of the poor—and are they less in point of property.—Why then is it not effected?—It is not yet too late for Ladies and Gentlemen of property to form themselves into charitable and antipasto associations. No one will deny that it would redound much to their honor; after they had once made the trial, they would find a satisfaction more than compensating with their gifts. HUMANITAS.
Extract of a letter from capt. John H. Andrew, of the brig Cynthia, of Salem (M. F.) to his owner, dated, St. Pierre, (Mart.) Dec. 9.
"Nothing material occurred until the 3d December, being in lat. 15, long 30, saw two sail, one of which proved to be his Britannic majesty's brig Le Corsair, of 16 guns, capt. Batworth. The first that he fired I took in my sail, immediately hove too—he fired two guns more after I hove too. At 2 P. M. he ordered me to hoist out my boat and come on board with my papers, with which I complied immediately—In the time of my getting the boat out, he fired several small arms at me. When I got on board I delivered my papers to the officer of the deck: The first Lieut. ordered my men out of the boat, and sent other men in:—He went on board of the Cynthia—drove my mate and all hands, the cook included, into the boat, without giving them time to get their protections.—After being on board one hour (the captain sending his servant up repeatedly to interrogate me) he then ordered me down the cabin. After receiving insult upon insult, he sent my boat after the protections, and left me in his cabin, to go and interrogate the people, and said that he could purchase protections for 25 cents each.—He then called his carpenter upon the quarter deck, with a boarding pike, chisel, mallet and rule, to measure—he measured them all—the carpenter undoubtedly knew the captain's intentions—some he made shorter than the protections, others longer—he said that he would take them and cut off their heads or feet to make them agree with their protections—He then said they were all Englishmen, notwithstanding I had every paper to prove to the contrary.—Afterwards I was permitted to be heard. I made use of every argument, and with as much politeness, as I was capable of, but they had no other effect than repeated insults. Four men out of the five were born in Salem, the other in Brooklyn. He took four and would not take the fifth on account of his being so small and an old man. I cannot omit mentioning, that the men he pressed were four of the best I ever had. Their names are Samuel Shepard, Samuel Lavallee, Martin Pain, and James Kinley. After keeping me from 2 o'clock to nearly 8 P. M. and finding it amounting to impossibility to get my men again I told him I should not go on board of my vessel until he gave me men enough to carry her into port—he then gave me four men out of the doctor's list, three of whom were raw Irishmen, who could not stir—the other an American young lad, born on Cape Cod, by the name of Benj. Freeman. He had the politeness to send me on board my vessel on a very dark night with these men, with the boat nearly half full of water, and a large sea running. I am sorry to find no communication between this and Barbadoes, otherwise I should have sent a copy of the enrolment and his proceedings to the commodore, who is stationed off Barbadoes. I think if a certificate of this and their being Americans is sent to the commodore, they may be obtained. I would spare no expense if I could obtain them. I arrived here on the 6th inst. and entered a protest, and have been these two days trying to extend it so as to send on the original to the Secretary of State. I must observe that it has placed me in a disagreeable situation. I find it at present impossible to get men here."
New York, Jan. 18.
On Friday evening, about eleven o'clock, two of the nightly patrols seized a black man of very suspicious appearance at the bottom of Pine-Street; and, on searching him, they found a dagger under his great coat, and a tin-box containing live coals, with which it is probable he intended to set fire to some part of the city. We understand he has undergone an examination before the police, and is committed to prison.
How is this?—Two Electors in Maryland, nine in Connecticut, and three in Delaware, have voted for Charles Cotesworth Pinckney as President, and Rufus King as Vice-President of the United States. Pray does this look like veneration for John Adams? Or is it not rather like condemning? Ah! the Devil has shown his cloven foot. Repub. Adv.
Federalism looking up!!! As a sure sign that Federalism is "hoking up," four federal Gazettes in the district of Maine have dececed within a few months past. viz. Jenks' Commercial Gazette, Edes' Kennebec Gazette, the Eastern Herald and the Annals of the Times. With all the talents, all the property, and all the religion! What a figure do the feds cut?
The Newark Gazette.—Expired on Tuesday last, of a decline which it bore with christian fortitude, this legitimate child of federalism: It was generated by corruption, it progressed in infamy, and finally died in disgrace. Newark Cent.
Since the discontinuance of the Newark Gazette, a new paper has been issued from the same office, called the Republican Herald, by Mr. DAVID C. BALDWIN. If we may judge from the first number, it will be a print decidedly republican.
DIED.—In this town, on Thursday last, Mrs. DEBORAH TOWNSEND, widow of the late Mr. Job Townsend, aged 76.

The Sloop Dove, of New-York, John Burnham, master, in 26 days from Martinique, laden with molasses, sugar and cocoas, arrived here in distress on the 23d inst. The Dove was distrained off the back of Long-Island, on the 19th inst. by the swell of the sea; and in this situation was towed into this harbour, by two boats from Block-Island. Two of the people on board of the Dove are much frost-bitten, Captain B. informs that he saw two Brigs and a Schooner ashore on the South side of Long-Island, on the 19th inst. Mercury.
Arrived at New-London, Brig Lion, Freeman, 25 days from Havana: Left there upwards of 60 sail of American vessels, but could not recollect any of the masters or vessels names.

A caution to Masters of Vessels.—The Light-House, on the point of North Island, George-Town (S. C.) by an accident caught fire on the night of the 4th inst. and it is so much damaged as to prevent the light from being shown until some repairs are made.

A TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE.
The accounts from Tripoli of the loss of so many brave men is truly distressing. But, Americans, reflect for a moment on circumstances, and you will perceive the true character of your country exhibited in the conduct of those brave men who were on board the fire-ship, preferring DEATH TO SLAVERY. Perhaps the blood of their fathers was at that moment rushing through their veins, crying "LIBERTY OR DEATH."
Heroic SOMERS, WADSWORTH, IZARD, and crew, (ten in number)—though your forms may be blown to atoms, still shall your actions live, and your bravery be instilled in the hearts of your countrymen. It is for all men to die!—You have died!—and this shall be your motto:—"DEATH BEFORE SLAVERY!" To mourn your loss is natural, but it is for the surviving world to imitate your firmness. [Phil. pap.]
BALLAD, on the death of Lieut. Somers, Wadsworth, and their gallant Seamen off Tripoli.
MOURN, mourn the glorious brave! Who gave themselves to death! Their limbs bestrew the wave, The sky receives their breath.
'Twas Somers and his crew, By gallant Preble sent; Resolved to make those rae, Whose souls can ne'er relent.
With shells and powder fill'd, They steer'd their destin'd way; The foe in battle skill'd, Bore down their course to slay.
Two gallant vessels bold, Our logger boarded then; Twice fifty men they told, Brave Somers told but ten.
"Distain the captive chain," The gallant Somers cries, "Now fire the sleeping train; And blow them to the skies."
Our men expect the blast, Wave high their hats in air! The pirates stand aghast, With horror and despair!
"Hozza," brave Wadsworth cried; "Our countrymen will know, How merily we died, To avenge them on the foe."
High in the clouds upcast, The vessels three were blown; And dreadful was the blast, That shook the guilty town.
Twice fifty pirates bold, Sent shrieking in the air! This tale whenever told, Shall make our foes despair.
Mourn, mourn the glorious brave! Who gave themselves to death; Their limbs bestrew the wave, The sky receives their breath.
[N. Y. Morn. Chron.]
On Friday se'nnight a coal porter exhibited his wife in Smithfield, with a halter round her neck, for sale; he demanded a guinea for her, but she hung on hand for some time, until a man of good appearance made the purchase, and packing her, halter and all, into a hackney coach, drove for Blackfriarsbridge amidst the huzzas of the mob. [London pap.]
LOUVILLE, Dec. 6. Attonishing security.
A gentleman from Marietta informs that just before he left that place, he saw a gentleman of undoubted veracity, who had gone 20 miles out of his route to see a family from Massachusetts lately settled on the Muskingum, consisting of Twenty-four Sons, all produced at Twelve Births from one Woman!! It is added, that a petition will be presented to the legislature of the State of Ohio at their next session, to grant each member of this extraordinary family 100 acres of land.
During the late distressing fire at St. Thomas, but few lives were lost. A Mr. Collin, of immense property, distracted by his loss, threw himself into the flames and perished; a faithful and affectionate servant immediately followed the dreadful example of his master.
