CALEB STRONG.
BY THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America, A Proclamation.
WHEREAS, satisfactory information has been received, that Henry Whitby, com- manding a British armed vessel, called the Leader, on the twenty-fifth day of the month of April last past, within the waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to the entrance of the harbour of New-York, by a cannon shot fired from the said vessel Leader, committed a murder on the body of John Pierce, a citizen of the United States, then pursuing his lawful vocations within the same waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to their shores, and that the said Henry Whitby cannot at this time be brought to justice by the ordinary process of law.
And whereas it does further appear, that both before and after the said day, sundry trespasses, wrongs and unlawful interruptions and vexations on trading vessels, coming to the United States, and within their waters and vicinity, were committed by the said armed vessel, the Leader, her officers and people, by one other armed vessel called the Cambrian, commanded by John Nairne, her officers and people, and by one other armed vessel called the Driver, commanded by Slingby Simpson, her officers and people, which vessels being all of the same nation, were aiding and assist- ing each other in the trespasses, interruptions and vexations aforesaid.
Now therefore, to the end that the said Henry Whitby may be brought to Justice, and due punishment inflicted for the said murder, I do hereby especially enjoin and require all officers having authority, civil or military, and all other persons within the limits or ju- risdiction of the United States, where soever the said Henry Whitby may be found, now or hereafter, to apprehend, and secure the said Henry Whitby, and him safely and di- ligently to deliver to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against according to law.
And I do hereby further require that the said armed vessel the Leader, with her other officers and people, and the said armed vessels the Cambrian and Driver, their officers and people immediately and without any delay, depart from the harbours and waters of the United States. And I do hereby interdict the entrance of all the harbours and waters of the United States to the said armed vessels, and to all other vessels which shall be commanded by the said Henry Whitby, John Nairne, and Slingby Simpson, or either of them:
And if the said vessels, or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or shall re-enter the harbors or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all intercourse with the said armed vessels the Leader, the Cambrian, and the Driver, or with any of them, and the officers and crew thereof, and do prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished them or any of them.
And I do hereby declare and make known, that if any person, from or within the juris- dictional limits of the United States, shall af- ford any aid to either of the said armed ves- sels, contrary to the prohibition contained in this Proclamation, either in repairing such vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatever; or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels until it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance beyond the limits and ju- risdiction of the U. States; such person or per- sons shall, on conviction, suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences: And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military within the U. States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to ex- ert their respective authorities, and to be aiding and assisting to the carrying this pro- clamation and every part thereof into full ef- fect.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of (L.S.) the United States to be affixed to these pre- sents, and signed the same with my hand.
Given at the city of Washington, the 2d day of May, in the year of our Lord 1806, and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States the 30th.
(Signed) TH. JEFFERSON. By the President. JAMES MADISON. Secretary of State.

THE SEASON.
To use the Husbandman's phrase, the SPRING is unfortunately backward,— scarcely a leaf has appeared;—and even the peach and lilack are but just budding forth. The general verdure of the present month, is more like the March and April of recent years, than that of May. On this occa- sion, a correspondent has sent us the following lines: [Centinel.]
To the MONTH of MAY, 1806.
ALAS! how chang'd thou month of MAY, That us'd to smile so sweet and gay! Nipt by the chilly adverse blast, A sullen gloom thy brows o'er cast; The trees their verdure slowly spread, And scarce a flow'ret rears its head;— And e'en the warblers of the groves, Unfeeling, faintly sing their loves. Come forth! and with thy wonted grace, Adorn bland Nature's genial face: Bid thy zephyrus woo the plain, And spread thy charms and bliss again!
May 14, 1806.
[The ensuing sketch of a character who, at present, attracts much public attention, was published in an English paper, while he re- sided in that country.]
GENERAL MIRANDA was born in Mexico; for his colleague Dumourier commits an error when he terms him a Peruvian. Notwith- standing the jealousy with which the Spaniards were accustomed to treat the native Americans, this gen- tlemen found means to obtain a col- onel's commission, and was employ- ed by the Governor of Guatemala in several confidential situations. He is thought very early in life to have entertained the generous resolution of emancipating his countrymen from thralldom; and to this is attrib- uted his precipitate retreat from New Spain.
Since that he has been almost lit- erally a wanderer. In the course of his travels he has visited every part of Europe, and resided more than once in England. Being possessed of taste, learning, and classical style, he was enabled to collect and relate a variety of anecdotes, and observa- tions, relative to the manners, policy, laws, learning, and above all, the mili- tary establishment of every nation.
No sooner had the French revolution taken place and a foreign war become inevitable, than he repaired to Paris from St. Petersburg, where he was in great favour with the Em- press, who endeavoured, but in vain, to attach him to her person and service. By means of Pétion, he obtained the rank of Major Gen- eral, and very ably and effectually seconded the efforts of Dumourier at Belgium. Being an excellent engin- eer, he displayed great military sci- ence in the art of attack; in short, he soon became respected in the ar- my and popular in the capital.
When the hero of Jemappes penetrated into Holland, he was appointed to the command of the troops destined to attack Maastricht; the attempt proved abortive; but, as this evidently proceeded from the negligence of the General at the head of the covering army, his laurels were not blighted by the event.
The conduct of Dumourier, as soon as he began to experience a reverse of fortune, became suspicious and his frequent conferences with the Aus- trian General, which ended at length in his entire defection, render- ed all the patriots in the army jeal- ous of him. Miranda instantly com- municated his fears to his friend Pe- tion, at that time a member of the committee of public safety, and or- ders were soon after issued to arrest the Commander in Chief.—This circumstance saved the life of Mi- randa; for Dumourier had attrib- uted the loss of the battle of Ner- winden to him, and still blames him in his history. To this the o- ther has made a reply, equally able and animated.
No sooner had the party of the Gironde been overwhelmed by the energies of the Mountain, than Mi- randa was imprisoned. He was li- berated at the general goal delivery on the execution of Robespierre; took
an active part against the sections of Paris, during the last insurrection, and was once more put under arrest by order of the directory.
Since that period he has been en- joined to quit France, under pretence of being a foreigner. This ungrate- ful return for his services was per- haps suggested at the instance of the Court of Madrid, which has long viewed him with a jealous eye. If so it was baffled in the first instance; for Miranda refused to o- bey the order; and, claiming the right of French citizenship appealed to the legislature, in consequence of which the executive was obliged to desist for a time. Its power rather than its justice, however prevailed at length, and he was driven into exile.
General Miranda at present re- sides in this country; but like other emigrants, (Pichegru, De Puffaye, and a few more excepted) he recei- ves no countenance from govern- ment, being tolerated rather than cherished.
* Miranda was introduced at Cher- son, to the late Empress, by Prince Potemkin, who presented him at the same time to the Emperor Joseph; and he was most graciously received by both.
The Court of Spain afterwards claimed him as a subject, but he was protected by Cather- ine, who refused to deliver him up.
Her Imperial Majesty, indeed, always treat- ed him with great respect, and offered to con- fer many favours on him; however, at the commencement of the French Revolution, he left St. Petersburg, with a decided intention to serve in the French armies, a circumstance that gave great offence to the haughty sovereign whom he abandoned.
† He was fortunate enough to be acquitted, after a trial of five days, before the revolu- tionary tribunal of Paris.
Political.
For the PORTLAND GAZETTE.
Messrs. Adams & Jenks,
Living at a distance from those scenes of political tumult which dis- turb the peace and harmony of more populous towns, and far removed within the interior of the country, I had indulged the fond hope that duty would never have called upon me openly to defend the liberty of my country by exposing the dark hypo- crisy of my political adversaries.—But the public good is paramount to every consideration of abuse which may flow from hiring pressels.
Had the wanton, infamous scurri- lities contained in the Argus of the 8th inst. escaped my observation, I should at this moment been pursuing the peaceful labours of the husband- man. It is to every honest man a source of the greatest infelicity to be- hold a public paper prostituted to the base work of deceiving the people and propagating the most infamous and palpable delusion.— sorrowful in- deed is the reflection that human na- ture is capable of such low, abandon- ed degradation.
In running through the paper to which I allude, the indignant heart of every honest American, must feel an impulse worthy his birth and edu- cation—born and educated in a land of freedom, he must despise the at- tempts which are there made to im- pose on the honest, unsuspicious heart. In vain do we look for the communication of a single useful sub- ject—in vain search for that cool- ness and candor which ought to char- acterise a public paper—in vain do we seek a dispassionate examination of facts, which are calculated to en- lighten rather than becloud the un- derstanding. Instead of finding it the vehicle of truth, we find it mak- ing its appeal to the most ungovern- able passions of our nature—meanly attempting to excite a belief, by the lowest prevarication, that the feder- alists are the cause of all the miseries and insults which the people are now doomed to endure.
In the paper which I have select- ed as one out of the many, that ought to be burned by the hands of the common hangman, we find a number of extracts the most fulsome and disgraceful that could be culled from the filthiest time-serving, demo- cratic papers in the union. These extracts show the taste and honesty
of the Argus-editor, and are what is to be expected from a character like his—"for who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one"— where the fountain is corrupt all the streams issuing from it contain waters equally poisonous.
But as my intention is to place the misrepresentation to which I allude before an impartial public, I will leave the propagators of this delusion and attend to the fact itself.
Almost the first thing which sal- utes our eyes in the Argus of the 8th May, is a paragraph taken from the Newyork Watch-Tower, fraught with contradictions the most absurd and foolish, sucked into the Argus as the choice milk on which it depends for nourishment and subsistence. It is there vauntingly stated, "that what has long been anticipated by the republicans has at length unhappily occurred: from insult his majesty's ships at the Hook, within our very waters, have proceeded to murder. The British government! British justice! and British magnanimity have been the eternal themes of federal eulogy." It is true, that the federalists have always admired justice and magnanimity, whether found in France or in England; but injustice, rapacity and piracy have been held in equal detestation and abhorrence—Federalists have called for efficient measures to protect them from such insults and aggressions— like true disciples of liberty, they have knocked at the door of justice "until their locks have been wet with the dew"—but they have not been heard amidst the fulminating yells of democracy—They have been ever ready to assist heart and hand in measures which would have secured them against the attacks of pirates and freebooters.
But again hear the wisdom of the Watch-Tower. He exultingly asks, "What has been the more recent conduct of the federalists? How long is it since the Leader was here before—that very British ship Leader whose officers have now committed the horrid murder?— My readers will recollect that the Leader, the Driver floop of war, &c. were at the Hook in June, Ju- ly and August of 1804, and that then, in our own waters, they in- sulted our independence—violated the laws of the United States—re- sisted the authority of the Marshal in serving process, and heaped con- tempt upon contempt."—The federalists are accused of all this.— "Thou fool, out of thy own mouth will I condemn thee."
Let the candid man look at the above extract and behold the genuine features of democracy—behold the attempt of democrats to paint that upon the federalists which their own self-same measures have produced. Is not insult and falsehood like this, enough to break the natural diffi- dence and taciturnity which is char- acteristic of the honest federalist? Who, we would ask, was president of the United States when all this happened? Was it not Mr. Jeffer- son, the idol of self-styled republ- icans? who, when personal danger menaced, secured for himself a re- treat in the safe and rural cave of Carter's mountain. Yes, it was the same man; who, when invested with the presidency, and surrounded by a well-serving congress, could calmly look on, with a countenance truly philosophical, and see our "com- merce pirated upon;" "our inde- pendence insulted;" "the laws of the United States violated;" "and an officer impeded in the execution of his legal authority." These fel- low-citizens, are not the complaints of a captious federalist, but the uni- ted murmurs of every class of citi- zens: yet the narrow soul of a dem- ocrat wishes it in his power to ex- cite a belief, that these distresses a- rose from federal measures. These insults and injuries have been sustai- ned for years, yet not one solitary measure has our spirited president ta- ken to repel them. They have been the subject of the most bitter com- plaint, yet these complaints have

been disregarded as temporary evils that would find a remedy in themselves. Even democrats begin to see the degradation and infamy to which their administration has reduced them; and in their lucid intervals, they run up and down with consternation and astonishment, to behold the destruction that is about to burst on them. They have purchased the quit-claim of a country truly unbounded in extent, but have taken no care to secure that which their fathers left them. They have even squandered away and destroyed those means which had been provided for our defence. France can now wring our noses, Spain can cuff our ears, and Britain, within our very harbors, can say, "hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther." To the one we may say, do but be peaceable and we will make any satisfaction; we will pay whatever you demand. To the other, abstain from such violent uncouth measures, or we will complain to your master, and have you secured; and to a third, vixen-like we turn round and growl and spit. This is that political wisdom, that patriotic energy, which characterize Mr. Jefferson's administration; that economy which had rather squandered millions in the purchase of waste lands, abounding in salt-mountains, prairies, and a thousand other natural curiosities, in raising the salaries of all the accommodating subservient officers of government, and in paying tribute to a foreign despot, than spend a single thousand in securing the peace, happiness and liberty of the people.
I might find employ for weeks in exposing all the foolish delusive assertions contained in this single paper: in following the editor from his high station on the Watch-Tower, down into his own native element. We might see him laboring another subject, where the baseness of his friends is endangered with equal disgrace to himself, and infamy to his party. He says, "the members of congress are returning home; ask them whether a single dollar has been shipped for France or Spain, or any where else." Wonderful liberality! Suppose a master should swear a servant to eternal secrecy, and then disclose to him some disgraceful scheme, and when his baseness was suspected, should excuse himself by saying, ask my servant whether this is so or not; where is the difference? The members of congress are under an absolute injunction of secrecy. These are deeds of darkness which fear the light. These measures have been taken behind the backs of the people, they are not for profane eyes to behold. But as I have no disposition to pursue this subject in its fullest extent, at present, I shall leave this printer to his own reflections, and the people to their own choice, and again resume my labor in the field.

CAUCUS.—No. 1.
The propriety of holding caucuses previous to the election of public officers by the people, as it has been for a long time practised, cannot now be called in question. It is justified by a consideration of the inexpediency of discussing the merits or demerits of candidates at a town meeting.—Men of different political sentiments have a right to consult together in regard to measures which they respectively judge proper to pursue, in order to support the interest, the honor, the safety and happiness of the country, according to the principles and opinions of their own party.
This practice has been adopted in the town of Portland—Federalists have had their caucuses, and democrats have had theirs.
The democrats in this and many other towns in the commonwealth, having made great exertions to fill the next House of Representatives with members of their own complexion, in order to insure the election of Judge Sullivan as first magistrate, it was judged necessary by the federalists to do what might lie in their power towards the re-election of Gov. Strong.—For this purpose a caucus was notified to be held on Saturday evening by them, at the Court House. The notification was in the words following, viz.
To the Federal Republicans of the town of Portland.
As the present is an interesting and momentous crisis, and as the people have a constitutional right in an orderly and peaceable man-
ner to assemble and consult upon the common good—all those FEDERAL REPUBLICANS, who venerate the names, and remember with gratitude the important services of the illustrious WASHINGTON and ADAMS—all those who approve the wise, virtuous and patriotic character and administration of our Excellent Governor CALEB STRONG, Esq. and wish to perpetuate the blessings, which result from such an administration, are requested to meet at the court-house, this evening, at 7 o'clock, to agree on suitable candidates to represent the town the ensuing year; and adopt such measures as they shall consider for the interest of the town, and the honor and happiness of the Commonwealth. May 10.
Agreeably to this notice, a considerable number of the federalists assembled at the time and place appointed; and to their astonishment, found that nearly as many democrats came also among them. Upon this unexpected meeting of their enemies, a consultation was had upon the manner of conducting the business on which they met. During this consultation, one of the democrats proposed to appoint their Senator elect, as moderator of the meeting, but he had not arrived;—another went to call him; but just as he appeared, the gentlemen who had been deliberating came in; and upon the motion of a federalist, Mr. Freeman was chosen to preside. They then proceeded to the consideration of the number of Representatives to be chosen, and agreed upon the gentlemen to be supported by them as candidates—passed one or two resolutions for adopting measures to obtain their election. While they were thus pursuing the design of their coming together, the democrats were mute—The federalists finished their business without interruption, and retired.—Early on Monday morning following (being the day of election) the citizens were saluted with a hand bill, containing on one side the Proclamation issued by the President of the U. States in consequence of the murder of John Pearce—on the other side a democratic account of the said caucus, entitled, "Little Argus, or Who shall be Representatives?"
The Proclamation had the following cap to it: "The following Proclamation was received by yesterday's mail—let it be read by "men of all parties—let every man "see the Patriotic Spirit, the Determined Courage of our illustrious President," [Noble indeed! All officers and other persons WITHIN the limits of the United States are required to apprehend the murderer (like the tall Grenadier's que, which a very little man whom he had offended aimed to cut off) he is out of their reach] "who has been "so much and so falsely calumniated "for cowardice and pusillanimity"—[This will wipe off all that calumny!] "Let it be read, and we think (to "reverse the sentiment of Mr. Freeman) in future will at least be a "substantial reason in favor of any "man if "he is in favor of the present Federal Government." [An excellent REASON indeed! How happy it is that federalists have such a weighty inducement to support the "present federal government—Mr. Freeman in particular, will undoubtedly reverie his sentiments.]
I will make observations on the "Little Argus" in some subsequent numbers. A SPECTATOR.

LONDON, MARCH 31.
We have received Paris Papers to the 23d, and Dutch to the 27th instant. They contain further particulars of the Treaty of Territorial Arrangement concluded between Prussia and France. Wesel and Prussian Cleves were surrendered to the French on the 18th. It is said that the city and bailiwick of Munden, and the city of Darmstadt, will be ceded to Hesse, & that the city of Hameln, and the neighbouring bailiwick, will form a part of the Electorate of Westphalia. The King of Prussia has addressed a Rescript to the inhabitants of the city and principality of Neufchatel and Valengin, in Switzerland, informing them of the cession which he has made of that country to His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon. This Proclamation, dated Berlin, the 28th of February, was published on the 11th of March, at Neufchatel. It affects to lament the change, and represents it as the result of extreme necessity.
Mr. Fox stated last night in the House of Commons, that the new military plan will be brought forward before the holidays. Mr. Fox added that the provisions of the Levy-en
Masse Act will form an important part of it.
According to some German Journals the formal occupation of Hanover by Prussia will shortly take place. The same papers also make mention of a disposition, according to which, Swedish Pomerania, including the Island of Rugen, is to be ceded to Prussia in lieu of a considerable sum of money.
Accounts from Hungary, say, that the Russian Army posted on the Frontiers, consists of no less than 300,000 men; and add, that a new recruiting has been commanded in Russia.
Constantinople, Feb. 12. M. le Roux, who had been dispatched hither by the Minister Talleyrand, to communicate the event of peace between France and Austria, was also charged to remind the Porte of recognizing the Imperial dignity of Napoleon, which he has performed so successfully, that the Porte has already made a declaration in which is included the formal recognition of Napoleon as Emperor of the French and King of Italy. The Porte has dispatched Attif Effendi to Haled Afendi at Paris, with this declaration, the latter of whom, ever since the refusal of the Porte to recognise the Emperor has resided there in an individual capacity, but will now resume the rank of Turkish Ambassador in Paris.
The Russian Ambassador, Count Italinsky, has delivered a Protest against this measure, in which, among other observations, he demonstrates, that this change, in the conduct of the Porte, is repugnant to the Alliance recently renewed with Russia. He has dispatched a Courier on this subject to Petersburg, and the English Ambassador has also sent a Courier to this Court with this very important intelligence.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 10.
Fire.—Last night about 8 o'clock, a fire broke out in the joiner's shop and cabinet-maker's ware-house, situated on the north side of Dock-street, about 50 yards, to the east of the United States Bank, and nearly the same distance west of the Bank of Pennsylvania; this being a frame building, and in the midst of several others, made, by the great height of the wind, then at N. W. a most tremendous blaze, and threatened destruction to that part of the town; but, by the exertions of the inhabitants, it was got under before 11 o'clock, though not stopped before, as far as we could observe, destroying three brick houses to the eastward; four or five shops to the northward; two houses in Dock-street to the eastward, and four or five on the east side of Third-street, opposite to the bank of the United States, besides damaging several others.
In short, the houses of the whole block, bounded by Third-street, Dock-street, Smith's and Carter's Alleys, being near the eighth of one of our squares, containing not less than twenty houses and work-shops of a number of industrious mechanics, except 4 or 5, are all entirely destroyed.

By the arrival of the ship Charles, capt. Lewis, at this port, on Friday last, in 41 days from Liverpool, we have received European dates to the 4th of April.—For the principal articles of intelligence, see foreign head.
The Porte has recognized Bonaparte as Emperor of the French and King of Italy; this has given great offence to Russia, as contrary to the alliance, recently entered into between the two Courts.
The late differences which subsisted between France and Prussia have been amicably adjusted.
Bonaparte still continues the preparations for the invasion of England; and the new administration in England, is determined upon a firm defensive war—the military force of the Kingdom is to be put upon a powerful establishment.
England and Prussia.
Capt. Wood, arrived at New-Bedford informs that he spoke an English gun-brig in the Channel on the 10th of April, from which he was told war had been declared between England and Prussia.
Highly Interesting.
A Letter from the American Consul at Cowes (England) to a merchant in Boston, dated April 5, 1806, says, "I have a letter the day before yesterday from Mr. Lyman, to advise that the disputes between this country and the United States are in a train for amicable adjustment speedily—on which I congratulate you."
The Spanish officers on the Mobile, have forcibly prevented the passage up that river of the brig Gayosa, bound from New-Orleans for Fort-Stoddard for cotton.
From present appearances, it is probable the House of Representatives will consist of about 460 members.—An increase from last year of about 110.
Centinel.
"More political intolerance as despotic as it is wicked."
WE learn MARK L. HILL, Esq. has been removed from the post-office in Georgetown, and Andrew Reed appointed. How much will the public interest be bettered by this energetic act of Jefferson's man Giddy?
REPRESENTATIVES.
On Monday last, the election of Representatives to the State Legislature took place in this town, when the following gentlemen, all decided federalists, were elected by an average plurality of 53 votes over the democratic list, viz.
JOSEPH TITCOMB, MATTHEW COBB, WILLIAM JENKS, JOSEPH H. INGRAHAM, and GEORGE BRADBURY.
The three last, instead of Messrs. Tucker, S. Cobb, and Symmes, declined.
The democratic candidates were—Joseph M'Lellan, David Green, Neal Shaw, and Mark Harris—also, William Widgey!!!
Notwithstanding the unwearied exertions of a number of ambitious and unprincipled demagogues to revolutionize this town, their attempts have hitherto proved unavailing. At the late election, their usual means of falsehood and deception were put in practice.—On the preceding Friday evening, those of the party who are determined to go all lengths in the work of insurrection and anarchy, held a meeting in the dark, for the usual reason; when their list was agreed upon and it is said was intimated that their proceedings must be kept secret and that they would one and all use every mean to influence the voters to support their men. These measures being known, on Saturday, notice was given to the Federal Republicans to assemble at the Court-House, at 7 o'clock in the evening, to agree on the candidates to be supported at the meeting on Monday. The measures adopted that evening by the federalists, were
noticed in the last Gazette. On Monday morning, a thing entitled "Little Argus," or who shall be representatives," was issued by the democrats. And that the public and the citizens of this town in particular, may peruse and reperuse this precious production, so fraught, with democratic truth and candour, we this day give it entire—it is strickly in character with the matter that graces the columns of the spirited and chaste damsel published in this town under the title of the Eastern Argus.
The Democrats boast of being the friends of the Federal Constitution: If consistency composed any part of the character of the democrats, they would forever be silent upon this subject, let the journals of the Convention in this State for the adoption of the Federal Constitution be examined, and it will be found that Major Daniel Isley, one of the Senators elect for this county, and William Widgey, the would be representative of this town, were both violent opposers and enemies to the constitution, and voted against its adoption.
The democrats complain much of the result of the election for representatives on Monday last—they say every "workshop was ransacked, and chairs put in requisition for the infirm"—and so if the federal mechanics dare leave their business a few minutes before one o'clock, and exercise their elective right before the close of the poll, they are to be insulted and stigmatized for it by the dear lovers of the people; but it is our pride and boast that this respectable part of the citizens did attend in season to prevent the town's being misrepresented.
More democratic consistency.
A federal character was denounced in the last Argus, for having loaned his chaise to an aged and infirm citizen to attend the late choice of representatives in this town, at the same time a democrat boasts of having hired a man, horse and chaise to "ransack" every part of the town, and use every mean to influence people to vote for the democratic list.
COMMUNICATED.
Some remarks in the last Argus might if unanswered, be considered by many well disposed, credulous people, who are not fully apprized of the democratic mode of attack, to be admitted by the Federalists, and therefore true.—His Editorship has proved himself somewhat of a political druggist in the compound he has made of truth and falsehood.
It is in the first place true, that on Monday was the election of Representatives—on Saturday evening a Federal Caucus was held, and the friends of Washington, Adams, and Strong, were invited to attend.—It is also true that many democrats were present; and strange as it may appear, that they did for once conduct with decency on a public occasion—altho' their intrusion evinced that modesty composed no part of their nature.
As usual at all regular meetings for business, the Federalists, at their caucus, first proceeded to choose a chairman or moderator.—This step seems excites Argus animadversion, because no call was made for "contra-minded." It was deemed unnecessary. Who, can it be presumed, were contra-minded?—Doubtless every democrat in the house, and none had any business there.—Why did not some of the dissatisfied crew, after having interposed, object to the choice at the time? I answer in their own language "they dared not." Had the house been polled, they were conscious it would have exhibited their weakness; which was sufficiently apparent from a trial on the day of election. But we are told, they attended with a disposition to defend republican principles from insult, and meet any on the ground of democratic argument—(meaning, I presume, their usual argument, misrepresentation and abuse)—How bold this is to declare what they would have done. It is well we are apprized of their motives after the election is past. Whenever anything is advanced, which is worthy of serious argument, the Federalists are ready candidly to meet it.—But when a cause has no better support than the democratic feculence, which appeared on Monday morning in the form of "Little Argus," it must be considered weak, and its support contemptible. Notwithstanding the "Little Argus" prophecy, the event of the election of Representatives, has proved as usual, honourable to the town, and a triumph of good Principles.
TRUTH.
Messrs. Adams & Jenks.
As a political character I have uniformly considered myself in principle, a moderate federalist, and firmly attached to a republican form of government. Ever since the adoption of the federal constitution, I have been a witness of the salutary effects which have resulted

to this court by a faithful and energetic administration of it. To the men who assisted in forming and carrying into successful operation this glorious palladium of our rights and privileges I have yielded a willing and cheerful support; and happy would it have been for America if an opposition to their principles or measures had never been organized. But unfortunately for the peace of society and the prosperity and honor of the United States, a factious and unprincipled character opposed the federal constitution in its origin, and used every exertion to prevent its being ratified by the states.
The opposers of the constitution, finding their attempts to crush it fruitless, and the administration of it being committed to its friends, the enemy assumed new ground—to misrepresent and traduce the principles and measures of the federalists, has been the point to which all their malice, all their cunning, has been directed—no mean, however false or base, is omitted—the vilest passions are appealed to, to aid the fury of the democratic party.
As a specimen of the false-worthy exertions of the democrats in this town I wish you, if consistent with your feelings, to publish in the next Gazette the Hand-bill which was issued from the Argus Office, on the day for the choice of representatives—A more false and infamous publication never disgraced a free press. * If the democrats are bent on pursuing such measures to propagate their principles, it will have a direct tendency to destroy the peace and harmony of the town; and to them will redound all the satisfaction of being the authors of such a state of happiness.
PORTLAND. * I would not be understood to refer to the President's Proclamation which was printed on one side of the hand-bill.
In complying with the request made in the foregoing, we are sensible the contents of "Little Argus" on account of its locality, will be interesting to our readers out of town no farther than it goes to show the very honorable means that are made use of to effect a change in the political character of this town.
EDITORS. "Little Argus," or who shall be Representative!
ON Saturday evening a federal caucus was held—some of our friends attended, expecting, as has heretofore been the case, your government, your principles, and your conduct would have been misrepresented and calumniated; and if they had been, those aspersions would not have gone unanswered. But your NUMBERS IMITATED your enemies—they DARE NOT give a challenge—but rather BEGGED your silence! ! ! they did not DARE to pursue their beaten track of SCURRILITY and MISREPRESENTATION; but a republican majority (which there was in the house) demanded of them the "modesty of their NATURE"—They well knew a MAJORITY of the caucus were REPUBLICANS—they saw with dismay that but THIRTY or FORTY out of THREE or FOUR HUNDRED voted in favor of their motion, and at the choice of moderator they had not COURAGE to call for the manifestation of those CONTRA-MINDED—nor is that to be wondered at; for altho' the first question, there were not THIRTY in favor (at least, who manifested in favor) of Mr. Freeman. The republicans attended to defend their principles and government, but had no idea of opposition or disturbance, unless it was provoked by federal slander;—We are happy no cause was given—we are also happy that the meeting was the most harmonious ever known of its kind. We have the assurance to say that it was in our power to frustrate all their proceedings! but as they extolled their own men and measures only, without DARING to derogate from the merits of ours—and as by such a proceeding they gave us no OFFENCE, we were unwilling to deprive them of the consummate pleasure of pursuing their LAUDABLE business—which they did with "fear and trembling!" Mr. Freeman, the moderator, made one observation, which we think worthy of notice, as being the sentiment of the federal party—viz.— "That it was a sufficient reason with him against Mr. SULLIVAN, that he was in favor of the present FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!"—Let this be remembered. Is it not a proof that those characters approve of STRONG because of their OPPOSITION to the federal government?—Are those federal republicans who dislike a man because he approves of a government chosen by NINE-TENTHS of the people? Mr. Jefferson was chosen by 162 to 141—Will any man file himself either Federal or Republican who is not willing to submit to such an arbitrary majority? Can a greater majority be expected in any federal or republican government?—If men will not with heart and hand, support a government so unanimously chosen, they will never be easy unless you suffer them to govern you themselves.—Believe them not, fellow citizens, they are not your friends; they pant for a MONARCHY, and if that cannot be had, they are determined to create ANARCHY and CONFUSION.
They tell you it is "an interesting and momentous crisis;" if so, Lhy put the business off until Saturday night? is that, or Sunday a suitable time to reflect on the great concerns of the nation? Were they afraid to nominate their Candidates in the caucus, or did they expect to deceive you by choosing a committee to bring in a list, when that list was long before determined, on a "secret caucus" of their House of Lords, and to which none of you were good enough to be invited! Be not such humble imitators of aristocracy; rouse from your labors, come forth in the majesty of your strength, and vote as your wisdom shall dictate.—We do not command you, as men would their slaves, to do this or nothing, to choose such men only as will oppose the government of your country—such is federal doctrine, and what would it lead to but CIVIL WAR, the worst of all evils and which every friend of humanity will guard against.
The Federalists acknowledged that a majority
of Republican Senators were chosen; that all they expected was a majority of the Representatives, and if they failed in this, that all was gone! all what? why all their hopes of Discord and Confusion in the Legislature, which must be the consequence if one branch is republican and the other federal! Is that the way to promote Harmony? surely not—Then let those citizens who gave a majority last month for Major ILSLEY, be consistent, again come forward, and choose such men as will accord with him in sentiment. The Feds acknowledge we shall have the majority at the next election, if not now—what then can be their object, but to keep the State in a BROIL another year, and certainly for no benefit to the People, however it may suit the Lawyers!
REPUBLICANS, by a general attendance This Day, your House of Representatives, and by their means your whole State Government may be REPUBLICAN, and harmonize with the general government, at this important crisis. The day is yours, if you attend in season; and be assured, that every candid federalist, who desires the peace and welfare of his country, will wish you success.
