To the Citizens of Fayette County.
Fellow Citizens;
YOU are about to take a step of great importance to your future welfare. A conviction of this, drew together a considerable number of you, not long since, at Bryan's Station, where some resolutions were adopted. The advocates of the doctrine contained in these resolutions, impressed with a belief that the happiness of the community, depends on the prevalence of their principles, and feeling a laudable anxiety for the public good, practised this politic measure, so admirably calculated to promote their views. The place of meeting, was chosen in the midst of a number of citizens, whose approbation could be relied on with confidence. The questionable points were accompanied by principles, rational and demonstrable: and the whole were advocated by an experienced, able logician. Casualty conspired to promote the scheme. No opposition was made - no arguments were adduced to prevent the passage of the resolutions. It may naturally be concluded, the audience, with but few exceptions, found no difficulty in subscribing to them, as they came prepossessed, and heard only arguments in favor of their own opinions. Each of these bearers, in his turn, becomes a retailer of sentiments, imbibed at the meeting; and the proselytes will, no doubt, be numerous, as two many persons subscribe to first impressions, without searching for arguments on the opposite side of the question. The last resolution, recommending a committee to be appointed, by whom a ticket is to be composed, is ingeniously calculated to lead you into a perplexing situation. The persons who were present at the meeting, (as observed) confirmed in the truth of their opinions, will be industrious in having committee-men elected from the militia companies and religious societies in the county; and it is presumable their exertions will be crowned with some success, as a numerous portion of you are so occupied by domestic concerns, that you have it not in your power to gain necessary information, and are liable to subscribe to the measure without weighing the consequence. When the persons are fixed on by the committee, it is incumbent on you to vote for the ticket; it being tacitly understood, that if you appoint persons to choose for you, you relinquish your right of choice, and are bound to support the choice of your committee. Then, if you should, upon further consideration, conceive the choice of the committee injudicious, you are reduced to the disagreeable alternatives of voting contrary to what you think right, or lay yourselves liable to the charge of inconsistency. It therefore is necessary that you should reflect maturely on the principles contained in the resolutions, before you enter into the committee scheme. They are subjects of great magnitude, and all possible information should be obtained previous to a decision. One of these resolutions goes to inhibit the committee from admitting any person into the ticket they are to compose, who will not unequivocally say, he will endeavor to have it declared by the constitution, that the legislature shall have no power to authorize an emancipation of slaves, either immediate or gradual, without the consent of their owners, or without paying their owners full value in money, previous to such emancipation. Such an article in the constitution, amounts to a complete & absolute prevention of emancipation to slaves, whilst adults; as the legislature never will, nor ever can have at their disposal, four millions of pounds, the sum supposed requisite to make the purchase. Yet it is acknowledged on all hands, that the slaves are entitled to freedom, and that at all times, justice or "honestly, is the best policy." Perhaps, then, a measure that puts it out of your power to perform this act of justice and good policy, may be improper: if, which is the case, it is not only your duty to yourselves, to guard against the committee measure, but to oppose their choice, as you would ruin.
The spirit of the preamble to the resolutions, and that particular one,
which alludes to slavery, are intended to inculcate an opinion that no other mode of emancipation than by purchase, would be equitable. Perhaps, upon investigation, you will find this opinion but badly founded. There will exist a farther weighty reason for opposition. It is believed in the eastern states, that the plan there adopted, was perfectly equitable; which was, that all slaves born after such a period, should be free, at the age of twenty-eight or thirty years; none existing at the time of the passage of the laws to be affected; and only extending to the unborn, innocent offspring. They reason in this way: A slave is a charge to the proprietor, from birth until ten years old - From that period, his labor more than pays for his food and cloathing - and at the age of twenty-one, he has disbursed the charge of rearing - at the age of twenty-one, slaves, healthy and valuable, may be supposed to be worth, on an average, eighty pounds each, and will hire for twenty pounds per annum. Four years hire, produces a sum sufficient to purchase the right of property. The term of emancipation being fixed at twenty-nine, the proprietor has the service of the slave, eight years; which, by the above estimate, will amount to one hundred and sixty pounds worth of service. The proprietor would take, if paid in hand, eighty pounds; but in consideration of waiting, and running the hazard of the slave's death, and receiving payment in service, one hundred and sixty pounds worth of labor is granted him. This plan appears more advantageous to the slave holder, than even a purchase, if that purchase be made on credit; for, should the state purchase the slaves, and hire them out to raise the money to make payment to the owners, little more than four years hire, will discharge the debt: whereas, by the forementioned plan, the owner has the slave eight years. This reasoning proves satisfactorily to my mind, that a gradual mode of manumission, where the slave (when the slaves are qualified for a state of freedom) only interferes between them and their proprietors, so far as to put it in their power to purchase themselves, is perfectly equitable. Therefore, I shall not vote for persons who advocate all the principles contained in the resolutions; nor assist in the appointment of committee-men, as contemplated in those resolutions; as I conceive I should be thereby doing an injury to my country and myself.
A late writer, under the signature of "An Inhabitant of Fayette," thinks the appointment of a committee, the most proper means to insure the adoption of the principles contained in the resolutions; at the same time, taking it for granted, that those are your principles; and that none but the enemies to those principles, oppose the committee plan. This person has mistaken the ground of opposition. We presume that you have not made up your minds on the subject, and would put you on your guard against throwing yourselves into a situation where you will be deprived of choice, at a time when you may be better able to form opinions. We wish you to beware of being cheated into an opinion that you may be sorry for hereafter. In short, we wish you to take time for consideration, and not to determine until the day of election.

JAMES WHITE. August 12th, 1798.
MR. BRADFORD, I HAVE observed in your paper of December 1798, that a certain William Sutton, has advertised me as a Run-away Apprentice, to the carpenter and house joiners business. True it is that I did reside with the said Sutton for four years past, agreeable to the contract of my elder orphan brother. At the expiration of which time of four years, the said Sutton refusing a discharge, I did absent myself from his service, publicly, and not privately, as he would insinuate to the public, by his advertisement. Notwithstanding the said Sutton having privately taken the advantage of me as an orphan, in a strange state, and influenced the court of Scott county to bind me illegally as a poor orphan - Yet, upon the allegations and proofs exhibited to the court, as appears on record, upon adjudication I was acquitted, and the said Sutton inult in the costs of the prosecution. Therefore I have thought fit to make this public, not so much for my own satisfaction, as for a caution to others. CHARLES HENDERSON. January 22d, 1799. 43/9 3t
I HAVE for sale, several thousand acres of land on Green river, and the waters thereof (which I will dispose of in such quantities as may best suit the purchasers,) for which I will take cash, negroes, and horses. NINIAN EDWARDS. Bairdstown, January 18th 1799.

HAMBURG, October 18. The crews of eight French ships in the harbour of Constantinople have been made prisoners of war.
VIENNA, October 13. As nothing further is to be apprehended from the rebellion in Turkey, the Russian troops, which were marching through Moldavia and Wallachia, have continued their route towards Italy. For the other two columns, destined for Germany, the emperor has directed magazines to be provided in his hereditary dominions. The Russian fleet, which has passed the Dardanelles, has a great number of troops on board.
LONDON, October 19. The two French frigates Justice and Diana, which escaped from the battle of the Nile, have been taken by the Colossus, capt. Murray, of 74 guns, off Malta.
From Lisbon, October 6th, we learn that advices from lord St. Vincents, state, that since the battle of the Nile, the situation of Buonaparte, had changed greatly, and that he had now more enemies than he ever had friends. Six of the French ships taken off the Nile, are now equipped, and taken into the British service. In addition to this, the Colossus, besides the two frigates, has taken 150 transport ships and destroyed many.
The Dutch have in the Texel, a fleet of 11 sail of the line and 9 frigates. The admiral's ship is the Washington, of 74 guns. In the Maes, at Amsterdam, and at Rotterdam, they have 12 more of the line and six frigates.
Rear-admiral Orde has demanded a court-martial on lord St. Vincents, for neglect of duty as an admiral; but the admiralty has refused the request.
NAPLES, September 26. Yesterday the king gave a grand dinner to admiral Nelson and his officers. The admiral has recovered from his wounds. His ship, the Vanguard, of 74 guns, came in dismasted, towed by two frigates.
The English squadron, which has been cruising off Sicily, has now gone to the coast of Egypt. Another division cruises off Malta.
DUBLIN, October 11.
We are sorry to record the continuance of the rebellion on the borders of Wexford and Carlow: the whole tract of country in that neighborhood is so completely in the power of the fugitives who refuge in the woods of Killoughan, that not a protestant gentleman or farmer, can venture to reside between Slaney and the Barrow; and even the Roman Catholics are now so frequently attacked by the rebels, as to render their residence extremely dangerous.
October 18. Extract of a letter received this morning from sir John Borlase Warren, to lord viscount Castlereagh, dated from his majesty's ship the Canada, in Lough Swilly, the 16th instant.
"My lord, "I take the liberty of communicating to you for the information of his excellency the lord lieutenant, that I fell in with the enemy's squadron on the 12th instant, the Roses bearing S.W. five leagues, and after an action which lasted most part of the day, four of their ships struck their colors.
"I believe a brig with Napper Tandy on board, was in company, as she left the French at the commencement of the business. The enemy's ships had numbers of troops, stores and ammunition, and large quantities of paper were torn and thrown overboard after they had struck.
"I am of opinion, that few of the frigates which escaped will arrive in France, as they had received much damage in their masts and rigging, and from the violent gales that followed the next day, they must be in a crippled state, and may in all probability be picked up by some of the squadron on the coast of France, or by admiral Kingmill's cruisers. They had thrown overboard boats, spars, arm-chests, &c. I left the prizes with the Robust, Magnanime, Ethalion and Amelia; the Hoche of 84 guns, was one of the ships taken."
October 19. By a letter from Sligo this morning we learn, that three of the shattered
frigates of the French squadron have appeared in that bay, under convoy of some English ships which had captured them after the battle.
It appears by a letter from major-general the earl of Cavan, of a later date, that the Melompus had arrived off Lough Swilly with another frigate in tow, which she had been sent in pursuit of—so that the number of prizes amount to five.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 27. A writer in Russell's Gazette, thinks it probable that the French Directory will send out La Fayette to treat with America—and observes, that the soothing language of such a peace-maker would be more injurious to us, than the landing of Buonaparte on our shores. It will doubtless be the policy of that nation to pitch upon one in whom we have the most confidence.
WILMINGTON, (N. C.) Nov. 29.
The day before yesterday, arrived in distress, the schooner Ann, captain James Wilton, from Madeira, but last from Cape Bonavista, having put in there for provisions. Captain Wilton says, that the locusts were in such swarms at the Cape, that they had destroyed every thing eatable, either for man or beast, their cattle were all perishing with hunger; he could not get so much as a peck of corn or indian meal at any price; that for three days after he left the Cape, he sailed through swarms of locusts; they were of a reddish color and full three inches long!
PHILADELPHIA, December 28.
The reports that have been circulating for some days concerning the Irish revolution have assumed a variety of forms. We have the most unquestionable evidence for asserting that such news has been actually received in this city, from Europe, that English and Scotch papers said to be of a date so late as the 26th of October, are in this city, and that their contents have been sedulously suppressed.
We can positively assert that such news has been received, and so far underwent the operation of printing, as the entire composition of some of the articles—and that after standing for some time, they underwent the operation of distribution, without being printed.
We blame no one—we accuse no one—the motive for such suppression, may possibly be an honest one. But the news will out.
After stating so much of fact that is not to be questioned, it is but fair to state some of the reports, that have leaked through this singular effort at mystery—this attempt to "put sunshine under a bushel."
The London Courier and the Caledonian Mercury are stated to contain the following facts in substance. That a rising of the Irish people had taken place in the four provinces by a preconcerted plan; that in the province of Ulster particularly, the effort was so big and formidable, that the lord lieutenant had been induced to march in person, with the strength of the English for Enniskillen which had been taken by the Irish, after a severe and sanguinary conflict, a few days before his march. That Gen. Lake had taken the command in chief in Munster and had proceeded to the head quarters at Cork, and general Johnson had been appointed to command in Connaught, and general Duff, was stationed at Dublin.
Lake on his march for Cork, met with a check so severe in the mountains of Kilworth, as to oblige a retreat towards Leinster.
That Cornwallis on his march received the intelligence of a landing of a large body of French on the west of Ireland, at the same time with the account of Lake's defeat, and in consequence, changed his front and counter-marched for the capital.
That the former advanced guard being considerably now in Cornwallis's rear, was entirely cut off by the Irish general, Holt, who pursued the English general to the neighborhood of Dublin, and had collected a force so considerable as to render it probable that Cornwallis would be once more Burgoyn'd.
Some of those who have seen the papers, assert, that he was actually taken.
The earl of Cavan, who commanded at Derry, had acted with the like barbarity that lord Rowdon former-
ly did by col. Haines, on an Irish officer, and upon the capture of that important post, the earl was hanged in chains, on a cavilier of the citadel.
That Belfast has been taken after a bitter struggle, by the revolt of a large body of yeomanry, who had joined the revolutionary army—that Cork was in the complete possession of the Irish force, and the French army about to encamp on the heights between Cork and Kinsale.
Such are the leading facts which have been communicated to us. We give them as we have got them; for ourselves, placing as much reliance on them as we formerly placed on the news concerning the naval action—we believe that such events have taken place, and we presume that they may have been possibly exaggerated in extent, by the editors who published the accounts, by their authority, or by the zeal of those from whom we derive our information.
As such, we give these important reports to the public, and if only half of them should prove to be authentic, we think we shall have done no more than our bare duty in publishing them, since, if they are confirmed, the fate of the monarchies of the world is thereby decided, and mankind may anticipate the speedy restoration of a glorious and durable peace to the world, and freedom in a very short progression, to the whole human race.

The following declaration of Dr. Logan, is copied from his address 'To the citizens of the United States,' published in the Aurora of January 3, 1799.
"I did not go to France at the direction, at the request, or on the advice of any person whatever—I went for my own pleasure—with my own views and at my own expence.
"I did not go, or act as the agent, official or unofficial of any man or set of men whatever. I did not carry any message, letter, or introduction from any citizen of America whatever, addressed to any citizen or public body in France; the two certificates of citizenship which I carried with me, were addressed to no one; they were not taken or ever used for the purpose of procuring an interview with any citizen or public body in France, but such as I thought might might be necessary in my passage through Germany and Holland.—I never conversed with any person in France, in their official capacity, or as being in any public capacity myself—Nor did I associate with any person, whose name I am afraid or ashamed to avow."

IMPORTANT REPORT.

October 26.
Letters from Constantinople, of the 20th ult. give an account of the degradation and banishment of the late grand vizier. His successor is particularly hostile to the French.
The Russian fleet has passed the Dardanelles. It consists of 12 sail of the line, and 6 frigates, and is to be joined by the Ottoman ships.
The dispatches from the Directory, to Buonaparte, are captured in their passage from Toulon to Alexandria; they had been thrown into the sea, but were saved by the intrepidity and promptness of two British seamen, who leaped overboard, and seized hold of them as they were sinking—their contents are said to be of the highest importance; but they have not yet reached this country.
Letters from Florence of the 24th, and from Naples of the 16th, state, that on the arrival of the news at Malte, of the victory of admiral Nelson, the inhabitants had risen on the French, and that there had been a dreadful massacre—they were said to have seized on the Bromola fort, which commands the arsenal and the right side of the port—the French were still in possession of the city of Valerio, and of St. Elmo and St. Angelo; but their force was supposed not to amount to more than 2000 men. From the batteries, the Maltese had sunk the William Tell, and the two frigates which had escaped from Bequiers, and had hoisted Neapolitan colors. The whole island was in the utmost want of provisions. The insurgents had cut off the only supply of water which the French had in their fortress, and it was supposed to be impossible for them to hold out for any length of time.
Accounts have been received at the admiralty, of the Leander having been carried into Corfu by a French line of battle ship.
Our government set at liberty, without exchange, six French officers, who saved the life of the bishop of Killala. Citizen Nion, wrote a letter on the subject to the transport board, in which he refuses to ratify this act of generosity, observing, that the officers did no more than their duty; and that there was no officer in the French army, who in similar circumstances, would not have done the same: but he would acquaint his government with this liberal conduct on the part of ours.

The following resolutions were introduced some few days ago, in the house of commons of North-Carolina.
"The general assembly of North-Carolina, view with pain, the alien and sedition acts, passed at the last session of the congress of the United States. They consider those acts, not only as operating a violation of the principles of the constitution, but as being altogether improper and unnecessary. Therefore,
"Resolved, that the senators from this state, in Congress of the United States, be directed, and that the representatives be requested to use every endeavor in their power, to cause the above acts to be repealed without delay.
"Resolved that the governor of the state be requested to forward copies of the foregoing resolutions, by the earliest conveyance, to the senators and representatives of this state, in the congress of the United States."
The resolutions passed the house, 58 to 21; but were rejected by the senate, 31 to 9.

WINCHESTER, January 16.
In the house of representatives of the United States, on the 7th inst. Mr. Otis, from the committee appointed to wait upon the president with the resolution relative to the impressment of American seamen, reported, that the committee had performed that service, and the president had informed them, he would take the subject into consideration.
Mr. Griswold, from the committee appointed to enquire into the expediency of amending the law for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States, asked leave for the committee to report by bill. This motion was carried, fifty votes being in favor of it.
Mr. Griswold reported a bill for the punishment of certain crimes therein specified, which was committed for to-morrow, and ordered to be printed. It proposes to punish by fine and imprisonment, any person who shall hereafter interfere, in any manner whatsoever, in any negotiations carrying on between our executive, and the government of any foreign power.
SALISBURY, January 10.
The following account of a most daring murder and robbery committed in Iredell county, has been just received from a gentleman who lives in the neighbourhood:
On Thursday night, the 3d, inst. about an hour after dark, some person knocked at the door of William Ireland, an old man of seventy years or upwards, having no family but his wife and a few slaves. The old gentleman had laid down, and was coming out of his room towards the fire place, as his wife opened the door, two men hastily stepped in, and shot the old gentleman dead on the spot. The report of the pistol, and the screams of the old lady alarmed the black people, when a negro man coming into the house endeavored to raise his dying master, one of the men damned the negroes to keep close in the kitchen, and shot the negro fellow across the back. The negro man ran to a stable and mounting a horse came by the door, when he passed, one of the vil-
lains again shot at him with the old gentleman's rifle. They then proceeded to search the house for money, one took his stand at the door while the other broke open a large chest, and got as it is supposed eight or ten dollars, which with a few linen shirts and the rifle gun was the whole booty. They had taken a small trunk containing fifty dollars or more, with many valuable papers out of the chest, but fortunately forgot it unopened. The negro man rode a mile, without perceiving his wound, to a house, he gave the alarm, and where he still is, badly, if not mortally of his wound.
A few men got to the house shortly after the robbers left it—every exertion is making to take the perpetrators of so horrid a crime, and as they are pursued by fifteen or twenty men, we are daily and anxiously expecting to hear of their being taken.
Mr. Ireland, the person murdered, was one of the first settlers in the upper end of Iredell county, and by his industry and economy having no children, was supposed to possess a large sum of money, which was luckily lent out.
On the evening of the seventh inst. two men, one of the name of Lewis Collins, the other William Owen, have been apprehended and confined in the jail of this town, under suspicion of being the authors of the above murder.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
INVOCATION TO POVERTY.
By C. J. Fox.
OH! Poverty! of pale, consumptive hue, If thou delight'st to haunt me still in view: If still thy presence must my steps attend, At least continue what thou art—my friend! Whene'er example bids me be unjust, False to my word—or faithless to my trust; Bid me the baneful error quickly see, And shun the world to find repose with thee: When vice to wealth would turn my partial eye, Or int'rest shut my ear to sorrow's cry; Or courtier's custom would my reason bend, My foe to flatter—or desert my friend: Oppose, kind Poverty, thy temper'd shield, And bear me off, unvanquished, from the field. If giddy fortune e'er return again, With all her idle, restless, wanton train, Her magic glass, should false ambition hold, Or a'rice bid me put my trust in gold; To my relief, thou virtuous goddess, haste, And with thee bring thy daughters ever chaste: Health, Liberty and Wisdom—sisters bright! Whose charms can make the worst condition light, Beneath the hardest fare, the mind can cheer, Can heal affliction, and disarm despair! In chains, in torments, pleasure can bequeath, And dress in smiles, the tyrant hour of death!
