to this point:—Governor Greene and Governor Bowen had it in their power, at the time the committee reported in 1785, to have assumed the payment of these balances, and then they would have been a legal charge against the United States; the officers and soldiers would have got their pay, and the amount of the balances would have passed to the credit of this state; which, in the whole, principal and interest, would amount at this day, to about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars! which is a clear loss to the state. This sum would readily have been allowed by the commissioners who adjusted the accounts between the United States and the individual states, had Governor Greene, (and those in office in the state at the time the committee reported) agreed that the state should have assumed the payment of these balances.
ARTHUR FENNER came in Governor May 1790. The question respecting the state's assuming the payment of these balances, came before the Senate. Governor Fenner opposed the passage of the bill, on account of the law of Congress passed August 1790 (vol. 1, page 244) where it is enacted in the following words, "Nor shall the claim of any citizen be admitted as a charge against the United States in the account of any state unless the same was allowed by such state before the 24th day of September 1788." If then, Governor Fenner had given his assent to this bill, and it had passed the Senate, it would have increased the state debt about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for services rendered to the United States. As well might he attempt the payment of the debts of other states as these balances, since Congress had solemnly declared they would not pay the amount of them. But by Governor Fenner's wisdom and good conduct in this business, as a Chief Magistrate, he has freed the state from a debt of not less than four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which the citizens would now have been groaning under; and the very Speculators in Cray's balances would now have been laughing at your distresses. And for this, Fellow-Citizens, Governor Fenner is to be turned out of office.
Fellow-Citizens, are you to be deceived by the speculators, the enemies of your liberties? No, you are not:—Then unite; rally round the standard of freedom, and act like men; and not sacrifice your liberties at the shrine of tyranny and oppression, and leave your posterity to linger out a wretched existence, through your folly and wickedness, in being misled by artful and designing men; but go to townmeeting, and give your support for ARTHUR FENNER, as your Governor, a patriot of '75, and a friend to the people and the rights of man; but an enemy to speculators and jockeys.
Citizens of Rhode-Island,
THE period is fast approaching, when you will be called upon to discharge one of the most valuable and most important duties that is exercised by the free Citizens of America. I refer to the privilege of choosing Deputies to represent you in the next General Assembly. In the due exercise of this duty, permit me to say, that the future happiness of yourselves, the state, and even the United States, will be materially affected by your choice.—Is our domestic liberty, Fellow-Citizens, of less value than formerly, that we should surrender without a struggle, to our internal enemies that which Great-Britain could not take from us by force? The cause for which we then contended, and now contend, is precisely the same. Our natural Rights and Liberties, endangered by a powerful, insulting, & lawless foe.—But by the firm patriotism of our leaders, and the united efforts of our military citizens, we finally subdued their armies, and drove their remaining troops to their isle, to seek that rest which their harried armies demanded. After this well earned freedom that we had gained, it might well be supposed we could retire in safety under our own Vine and Figtree, and none to molest us. Far be it:—The same evil genius of Liberty is urged on; the same secret artifices and sophistry are employed by our internal foes. These last are worse than the whole force of the three United Kingdoms. By intrigue and corruption, they are trying to undermine our dear bought Constitution, and immolate the Rights and Liberties of our citizens. Can their views be upright who will sacrifice their gold, and even their honor, to the attainment of power, and aggrandizement of themselves? They are disguised often under the soft names of Federalists and Republicans, whereby to escape the scrutinizing eye, and fearing they may discover to the public, the vile principles by which they are actuated: Masked in this manner, they too often catch the deluded citizen.
If ever the situation of our affairs can call upon the citizens of Rhode-Island to exert themselves in support of the true principles of liberty, and its blessings, the present moment loudly demands it. That the wheels of government may not be clogged, we should co-operate, and keep pace with the great political system, in its constitutional movement; that each state may revolve in its own proper orbit, and harmonize with the general government;—As on these, and other points, await the safety of the whole;—for united, we stand a fortress unconquerable, impenetrable; but divided, we fall an easy prey to the artful snares of Aristocracy, which to them would be a source of malignant joy.
It is not necessary for me particularly to point to you the manner in which you will best discharge the duties incumbent on you. But by supporting and selecting men of tried principles, of a firm and honest patriotism, who have the common cause at heart, and will unite under the federal Constitution as the sheet anchor of our safety, you will save yourselves and posterity from a national debt, incurred by a host of judges, by standing armies, edition and alien laws; beside many other oppressive debts which we have not as yet experienced.—Choose not those, who, at that moment of despair, when nothing but darkness was visible on our politi-
cal horizon, left the ship as they thought to the guidance of the winds and waves. But when we had shaken off the load of chains that threatened our destruction, and slavery had withdrawn its false curtain; then liberty, that best and dearest of names, threw around us the brightest beams of happiness, and drew those torpid serpents from their dark retreat, who lay for a while basking in the sun of liberty; forgetting then their former situation, with looks of vipers, ventured to crawl forth and seek that safety under our Constitution for which they dared not to contend, and which they at this moment would sacrifice at the altar of aristocracy. But let us retain, if possible, our councils uncontaminated by these worst of Vermin, who might in time destroy the basis of our rights, though founded in blood:—For they would, as a great writer observes, "gradually insinuate themselves into the highest places of power, till they constituted a majority in the national councils, and by one fatal stroke destroy in a moment the work of an age." Let fancy here depict what the pen cannot paint. A subjugation to British power would inevitably ensue. Tyranny would rivet her brazen fetters on us; and despotism, with all her direful train of ills, would make our children's children execrate the hour, that gave these enemies of our peace permission to tread on freedom's hallowed ground.
What tribute then, ye highly favored sons of liberty, is due to those virtuous magistrates, who like watchmen on the towers, stand guarding your repose, by repulsing the approach of your enemies? The altars of posterity shall smoke with oblations to their memory, and the temples of freedom resound with their praise forever. PHILOCLÉS.
To the Republican Freemen of Newport.
AT a time when the Federal party bring into the field all their forces, it is necessary for us, Fellow Citizens, to be ready with the whole of ours.—It is necessary for us to show, that the same love of our country, which first united us as a "band of brothers," still burns in our breasts, and has gloriously survived every effort to extinguish it. Let us show, that as Republicans, we have long stood, and now stand on the high ground of PRINCIPLES, independent of every consideration of a private nature.—That we think that we act for the good of our country, and mean to give our votes for those only who think and act with us.—At a time when every nerve is strained against us—when every art is practiced—when every means are employed;—when attempts are made by some to divide us; by others to deceive; and even by others to bribe:—When attempts are made to persuade some, and to intimidate others:—At such a time, let us stand at our posts, determined and undismayed; determined to defend the rights of our country; and undismayed at the whole host of enemies which attack them. Let us coolly examine for ourselves. Let us unprejudicedly review the measures of the present, and of the past administrations. And above all, let us scorn to barter the rights of our nation, for those very dollars which bear the marks of our freedom and sovereignty.—At such a time, let us be calm—let us be moderate—let us be immovable.—Personal invective and insults, can never benefit a bad cause; and will ever degrade a good one.
At such a time, the Republican Citizens of Newport are requested to meet, at Six o'clock, on the Evening of Monday next, at the State-House,—on business, to a FREE PEOPLE, of the GREATEST IMPORTANCE. UNION.
MR. FARNSWORTH, You are requested to publish the following, for the information of many good people who have been deceived by the unmanly lies of Governor Fenner's opponents. JUSTICE. Providence, April 5, 1802.
AS I was concerned in the settlement which took place in the Cause between Governor Fenner and Judge Dorrance, I deem it proper to state the origin, and progress of the business, until it was completed.—On my arrival in Providence, I had a conversation with Mr. Brattle, at his house. He represented to me the distressing situation of Judge Dorrance's family, on account of the Judgements which Governor Fenner had obtained against said Dorrance. That in consequence of the Judgements, Mrs. Dorrance, was very much dejected; and he really wished that the matter might be settled, and desired me to use my influence to effect a compromise. Accordingly spoke to the Governor on the subject, and represented to him the distresses of Mrs. Dorrance, and begged him to compromise the matter. He replied, that the money which he had recovered, never was an object with him; that he was satisfied with the decisions which had taken place, and did not mean to avail himself of the money; but when collected, it would be given to the Poor. That he was then willing to repeat the offer which he made in court, which he mentioned to me, as I had not heard it. I found from this conversation, that the Governor was disposed to be lenient in his Terms; and in consequence of it, I mentioned the matter to Elisha R. Potter, Esq. He expressed a wish to see the Gov. and I communicated it to the Governor. The Governor said that he was willing to converse with Mr. Potter and myself on the subject, and a meeting accordingly took place; the result of which was, the agreement as certified by Mr. Potter and myself.—I considered that the Governor was actuated solely by humane and charitable motives in remitting his Judgment for damages, and one half the Costs, as he did.
(Signed) WALTER WATSON. This may Certify, that as far as relates to the conversation had between me and Mr. Watson aforesaid, is just and truly recited. (Signed) ROBERT BRATTLE.

Attend—REPUBLICANS—Attend! THE Republican Citizens of Newport will meet at the State-House, on MONDAY EVENING next, at SIX o'Clock, to deliberate on very IMPORTANT BUSINESS. A general attendance is requested. SYSTEM.
We have received a statement of the votes for Governor, &c. from thirty two towns in Massachusetts, by which it appears that Gov. Strong has a Majority of a few Hundred votes over Mr. Gerry, the Republican candidate.—This it is supposed was obtained in consequence of a new law, depriving many of the poorer class from the privilege of voting. Notwithstanding the immoderate exultations of the Federalists at this event, we are confident that there will ere long be a handsome majority of Republican voters in that State.
The Schooner —, Obed Pinkham, of New-Bedford, was spoke on the 12th of March, under Guadalupe, with 60 bbls. of Oil.
The Committee of Ways and Means, who were instructed to enquire into the expediency of repealing the laws laying duties on Sills and domestic distilled Spirits, on Refined Sugars, Licences to Retail, Sails at Auction, Pleasure Carriages, Stamped Vellum, Parchment and Paper and postage on Newspapers—have reported that it is expedient to repeal the laws laying duties on all of said articles except that on Newspapers; the committee are of opinion that it would be inadvisable to take off that tax, as it is insignificant in amount, and is the means of insuring the safe delivery of the Newspapers to their respective Subscribers. By statements made to this committee from the Secretaries of War and Navy, it appears that a sum exceeding 400,000 dollars will be saved on the army alone, this year! —the expenditures for the Navy is estimated at 200,000 dollars less than last year! It follows therefore that a sum exceeding the whole amount of the internal taxes will be saved in those two Departments; as the sum necessary to be expended by them during the year 1802, will be 600,000 dollars less than that of the year 1801.
The following are the Yeas and Nays, on the passage of the Bill for repealing the Internal Taxes:—

"Squally" Appearances. Extract from a letter, dated Port Republican, Feb. 27, 1802, to a respectable mercantile house in Wilmington. (D.)
The French, after taking possession of St. Marc, and the plain back of it, which were evacuated by the negroes, found a number of the whites, who were murdered; and 7 whose hands were tied, and fire set to their feet, but so lately done that they were still alive! The officers knew not what had become of the people belonging to the American vessels; but this day a merchant of St. Marc, who made his escape, arrived here, who informs, that he left the inhabitants of that place, and all the Americans, at a small fort 18 miles from St. Marc. Yesterday a large package of Toussaint's papers were found: among them was a copy of instructions to the commanders of the respective districts, to destroy, on the 1st March every person within their limits. Likewise a letter addressed to Toussaint, from the government of England, by which it appears, that the English have been the paupters, behind the scene, to the inhuman massacres and destruc-
tion which have taken place! There has also been found a contract for the supply of 4,000,000 livres worth of powder from the United States (during the reign of John Adams) but whether from the government, or individuals, I know not. Pierre Lewis, who was commander in chief of Leogane, who burnt that place, and murdered the whites, has been taken. I saw him three days since, go on board the admiral's ship, where he will remain in irons, till general Le Clerc arrives." The same letter states, that St. Marc was burnt, and that two brigs, and schooners, the only vessels in the port, were destroyed."

OF THE STAMP-ACT.
THE following epitaph, affixed to the grave of the grave of Jared Ingersoll, Esq. the late English Stamp-Master, who, together with his infernal majesty and his holiness the pope, were hanged in effigy, burned, and buried at Hebron, in the year 1764, may shew what the feelings of the people once were towards Stamp-Acts and their abettors.
HERE lies inter'd beneath this pile, A rogue, a villian, base and vile, Who strove his country to beguile— But Fate's good resolution Dissolv'd in death by heaven's will, As great a knave as earth could kill By gibbets, flames, and halter's skill, And earth's best constitution. We lay the devil by his side, Who, while he liv'd, was all his guide, Who did attend him when he died, And now guards the remains Of this STAMP-MASTER, doom'd to dwell And gather all the tax in hell: The Act itself we here conceal With him and all his gains.
Form the Republican Gazette.
The FEDERALIST and QUAKER.
"I CANNOT bear those abominable aspersions, those clownish salubods," said Gambes, flinging the newspaper indignantly from his hand. "I cannot bear those Jacobin LIES;—there must, their shall be a law to crush the authors of such lies—they will blast New-England with lasting infamy: if they had their deserts, they most certainly would be dashed to pieces."—His eyes flashed resentment,—He furiously stamped the paper with his foot—"Why art thou so angry, friend, said the Quaker, looking mildly at him—I have lived sixty three years, and never have been even angry, without having the heart-ache for it"—"Tis enough to make a true Christian"—said Gambes, biting his lips—"Hold, friend, said the Quaker; a true Christian is slow to anger—let me see thy paper"—Taking it up, he turned up the title page—"Gambes, starting, exclaimed, the devil!—I thought it was the Jacobin Gazette!! He blushed deeply—He had prepared his mouth for censure, and in haste had mistaken his object, and taken up a federal paper—I thought it was the Jacobin Gazette, said Gambes, with his face crimsoned with conviction—and left the room—The Jacobin Gazette, said Gambes's friend, is a vile paper—it attempts to justify a Deist—JEFFERSON is a Deist, and an enemy to God Almighty—It may be not—said the Quaker—It may be not, retorted the other with a sneer; then all the world lies—Perhaps that may not be too, replied the good Quaker—I wish that I could truly say there was like unto that honest man—his heart is benevolent—and he doth govern his temper—and he seems to forgive his enemies.—He never made a profession of Religion, said Gambes's friend, and is a monster!—Didst thou ever know him, or read his works? said the Quaker.—No, answered the other loudly; nor never wish to!—From what doth thou form thine opinion?—Why all our preachers now a days say he is a Deist, says Gambes's friend—I have a book in my pocket, said the Quaker, which our old friend THOMAS JEFFERSON wrote above ten years ago; and it doth seem by that, that he has made a very good religious profession to all the world; and what is more acceptable in the sight of GOD, he has never since contradicted it by his actions—I dare you to find in that book, any thing that looks like religion, replied the other:—I can; and will from it read to you something that is Religion itself, said the honest Quaker; and fixing on his lethern rimed spectacles, opened his book, (which proved to be the notes on Virginia) and read distinctly as follows: "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure, when we have removed their only basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that their liberties are of the gift of GOD? and that they cannot be violated but with his wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country, when I reflect that GOD is just and that his justice cannot sleep forever."
This said the Quaker, is a part of our friend JEFFERSON's "good Confession," that he hath "witnessed" before the world—and further I tell thee, that many of those who so uncharitably call him a wicked man, most known better themselves—they do it only to carry their own points: Friend Jefferson is much set against man oppression, and when here in this book he proved the wickedness and danger of oppression, he says "the oppressed, urged by cruel sufferings, would rise," and feared it would sometime be the case in the Southern States—and says, thus it "may become probable, by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest."—Here our friend is treating evidently of extraordinary revelation—and that the Holy God cannot help oppressors. It is unchristian, and bespeaks a very bad heart, to be so censorious. We ought to be humble, and weed our own gardens. Private business (said Gambes's friend) ought to give way to public; 'tis of infinite importance that we see we don't suffer an unbeliever to rule over us. the Quaker fetched a deep sigh of benevolence; and taking off his spectacles and laying his hand gently on the arm of the other, looked him affectionately full in the face, said—"Em, how can we rightly judge of the belief of others when our own hearts are neglected?"
