Fuller's Earth.
THE Proprietors of the WASHINGTON MINES, in Newfield, State of Massachusetts, have the pleasure of presenting to the public the genuine FULLER'S EARTH.
As many advantages may arise to different kinds of Manufacturers, such as Clothiers, felt Dyers, and Hatters, by using it.—The proprietors flatter themselves that they shall meet with full encouragement and patronage from their fellow citizens.—The utility of the FULLER'S EARTH is estimated to high in England, that a heavy penalty is annexed to its Exportation. It exceeds all kinds of loam, in cleansing of Woolens, Silks, and Cottons, will extract any kind of Grease, and leave the colour clearer and more transparent.
In order that it may be done effectually, let the FULLER'S EARTH be moderately dried, in an oven, or over a small fire. Then mix'd with warm water, made into a thin paste, put on and dried on the spots, and then a brush may be used to cleanse it. The Grease will be extracted and the colours left perfect.
Hatters may derive great advantages in the use of the Fuller's Earth, as it will cleanse more effectually, than Soap, and less labor required.—Many experiments having been made to prove it.
As the proprietors are sensibly impressed with the very great importance of the FULLER'S EARTH—especially to Clothiers, they therefore take the liberty of recommending the following manner of using it.
Take three pounds of dried FULLER'S EARTH, to a bucket of water, let it dissolve, wet the cloth in the usual way for scouring; let the cloth go into the Fulling stock one hour, put on your scouring water, and let it go, till the water comes clear from the cloth. The cloth will then be clean, and soft—and half the quantity of soap for Fulling is necessary. The Cloth will cover better on the Warp, and will be twenty per cent easier to finish and color.
But not confining its use to manufacturers, it may be observed, that SEAMEN will find it highly beneficial, as in cleansing their cloathes, salt water may be adopted in the room of fresh.—It likewise may be very serviceable to private families, as Baizes, Flannels and Woolen Hose wash'd with it, will prevent them from shrinking, and in cleansing many kinds of household furniture, its use is far preferable to soap, Rotten Stone, or Whitening—as it leaves no tarnish behind.
As the proprietors of the Washington Mines reprobate every kind of misrepresentation respecting the properties of the Fuller's Earth, so they are firmly persuaded, that many after having used it, will join with them, in recommending its great utility.
N. B. The Fuller's Earth wholesale and retail may be had at the stores of Messrs. WM. JONES and JOSEPH GAVET, spring hill. Portsmouth, June 4, 1805.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
At Portland, on the 26th inst. as some Children were playing with a cart body (taken from the wheels, which had been carelessly left upon a poise, the weight of Master Benjamin White, aged 8 years, attempting to climb it, brought it down upon him, with a blow on his head, of which he died in about 30 minutes. At this awful moment, brought in to his parents, covered with blood and in the agonies of death, the scene was distressing far beyond description. Mrs. White was in child-bed sickbed; had lost an infant a few days before; and now attacked with a fever: her situation was truly critical and piteous.
MR. JEFFERSON.
The Editor of the Republican Advocate, speaking of Mr. Jefferson, thus handsomely expresses himself:—
"There is something so amiable in the man and all his actions, that malice must first certainly be seduced by the devil to make her wicked enough to lay one word against him. It is not his language but his actions: It is not what he says, but what he does, that I look to. Hundreds of scrawlers & scribblers cry out, bad grammar, bad words, wrong expressions, jargon, &c. and squirt their inky slander at the President. But they avail nought.—Jefferson understands the true grammar of government, and his language is not the fillagree and tambour work of the brain: It is the warm expression of the heart, the genuine production of an honest mind, which scorns a petty attention to nice periods or pretty words: In truth it is not the note of a bankrupt, with "I promise to pay" nicely written upon it: but good American coin, gold without dross or alloy."
NORTHAMPTON, May 21. A specimen of Federal Villainy.
The following impudent and infamous paragraph is copied verbatim from Ben Russell's Centinel of Wednesday last. It was dictated by the aristocratic, over-bearing spirit of Federalism. The man that penned it is a MONARCHIST. The man that published it, has the mean and grovelling spirit of a slave. He is one of the 26 British representatives from the British, the apostatized, the torified and seceded town of Boston.
Here it is!!!
TO THE FEDERALISTS. IS it not the voice of justice? Is it not a maxim of prudence, to meet an enemy on equal ground if possible? In this particular are we not far behind our opponents in policy? Are not the men of enterprize and commercial negotiation, very generally Federalists?—And do we not in indiscriminately employ those skilled in the Mechanic Arts, without advertising to their political tenets, or conduct? On the other hand do not the few Merchants, and National Agents, on the side of democracy, invariably employ none but such as think and act, in co-operation with themselves? My Fellow Townsmen, who from principle are Federalists—ponder on these questions; and then ask yourselves, ought these things to be? A FEDERALIST who feels. May 9, 1805.
It is well known that a large proportion of the capital employed in commerce in the town of Boston is British. The whole of this capital, together with the Banking capital, the insurance capital, is to be brought to bear upon Democracy. Liberty is to be "crushed" by the weight of BRITISH Gold. The puffs and lordling calculations to control the mind of man—the Ethereal spirit of freemen. The Aristocracy of Boston, think that Whigs of Massachusetts are to be bought and sold like the miserable natives of Africa, in a West India market. They deceive themselves. There is a spirit of freedom, a fire of liberty which animates the breasts of AMERICANS, the bright sparklings and the fervid heat of whose flames are not to be extinguished by GOLDEN SHOWERS. "Aurum vincti omnia," is the Federal maxim, "Gold conquers all!"
say the Nabs of the metropolis, and the "sentiment is re-echoed" by the Cornhill shopkeepers. Money is the grand federal engine. The federalists abjure reasoning, and throw aside reason, because federalism is opposed to its dictates. It shrinks from investigation. It is founded in fraud, and flourishes by imposture.
The mercenary leaders of Federalism and the monied Aristocrats of Boston because they can command a large British capital, vainly imagine that they can control PUBLIC OPINION.
The human mind is not yet so degraded to debased, that it will bow in humble adoration to Moloch.—That mind which in the dark ages of the world, when enchain'd by the maxims of slavery, when bound down by bigotry and enthralled in superstition, bid defiance to the gibbets of despots and kings, and looked with complacency on the rack of Inquisitors will not now, in this enlightened age, in this free country, subject itself to petty and mushroom tyrants—The leaders of a British faction.

POLITICAL.
FROM THE RALEIGH REGISTER.
WHEN Mr. Jefferson made his inaugural speech, he was basely stigmatized with attempting to gull the people with fair promises. The novelty of economy surprised those who were taught to believe that an expense was the best of all governments. Reducing the public debt made those stare with admiration, who had accounted a public debt a public blessing. They threw all their force in the way of the salutary work; but it held its silent and steady course in contempt of all opposition.
It appears from the statement of the secretary of the treasury, that during three years and a half, commencing on the first day of April, 1801, and ending on the 30th September, 1804, there has been discharged of the public debt, 13,576,881 dollars, 86 cents. If to this we add one half of 3,700,000, which goes to redeem the principal of the public debt for the year 1805, we shall have 15,426,881 dollars 86 cents, the whole reduction of the public debt during the four years of Mr. Jefferson's administration. Let us contrast this with the financial statement of President Adams' administration.
  The appropriation for the four years of that administration amounted to 44,936,906   Instead of paying off the public debt with these expenditures, it was increased 6,368,488   From which, however, should be deducted money left in the treasury, arising from the sale of vessels, 2,056,707   Increase of the public debt, during Mr. Adams' administration, for which we pay 8 per cent interest 4,298,781   As stated before, redeemed of the national debt, during the present administration, ending on the fourth of March, 1805, 15,426,881 86   To this add the balance in the treasury, 4,882,225   Making 20,399,106 86   From which must be deducted the money Mr. Adams left in the treasury, 1,794,000   And money arising from the sales of vessels and bank shares, 1,533,367   3,327,367   Now, if to this we add the increase of the public debt during Mr. Adams' administration, we shall have 21,280,460 86 
The actual difference between the cost of Mr. Adams' administration to the United States, and Mr. Jefferson's for the same length of time, although in this statement is not included the direct tax and other taxes which were repealed in 1802, which (if they were added) would at least make a difference of 25,000,000 dollars.
FEDERALISM LOOKING UP.
While federalism was under comfortable circumstances, and Mr. Adams was erecting "his stupendous fabric," for the well born, while he was digging a hole for his nobles, and opening jails for the seditious rabble, little was said about federalism looking up. In those days federalism really looked down with scorn on the rights of man, and on every advocate of those rights. It was beneath the dignity of the grand functions under the reign of terror to look up. Whatever else did not look up with reverence to federalism, was made to feel the force of energetic government, and prostrated so that looking up was an act of necessity.
But as soon as Gov. Clinton was placed at the head of the State of New-York, federalism began to look up. It looked up during the pendency of the Presidential election in 1800, especially during the contest of night caps, whether the people should have a President of their choice or have a President, for whom as President no elector had voted. Federalism looked up very early in the morning of the 4th of March 1801, when the late President Adams left the seat of government; it looked up, while Mr. Jefferson delivered his Inaugural Speech, and it has been looking up ever since.
About two years since, the federal papers hailed Federalism, as looking up, even in the ancient dominion of Virginia, because 3 or 4 federalists from that State had gained an election for Congress. Since that, although federalism has lost the virtue and talents of James Thompson Callender, it has looked up, so that only one federalist, (Mr. Lewis) will appear in the national councils to represent the federalism of Virginia. Two republican senators, and twenty republican representatives will be on the floor of congress, from that State, to witness the looking up of federalism in the person of Mr. Lewis.
Federalism has for years been looking up in New-Hampshire, and it now looks up in the persons of Gov. Gilman, and of the federal Senators; and
representatives, who have retired to private life, to make way for Governor Langdon, and a republican legislature.
If in Vermont or Rhode-Island, federalism had ceased to look up, and had looked on either side of her, she would have seen republicans, as far as the eye could extend.
In Massachusetts another look up of federalism at the next annual election, equal to her look up at the present, will send Gov. Spong, and the Essex Junto to join the federal worthies, who have gone to glory before them.
In Connecticut federalism has been always looking up. Whatever may be the result of an election in comparison of votes, yet in some way or other federalism is always gaining. Now the proof of gain is this; Gen. Hart, being taken up as a candidate, did not at first gain as many votes as Mr. Kirby had done; but now Gen. Hart has about 500 more votes than any republican candidate ever had before, and Gov. Trumbull has suffered the loss of more than 600 of the votes, which he has before had. The free men have not left the State, nor are they dead—there are more living free men now than there were when Mr. Kirby had 784 votes, and Gov. votes, and Gov. Trumbull 14316. Where, ye looking up federalists, are your 600 votes? Ours have all appeared with a handsome addition: your looking up here is just like your looking up elsewhere; it is a mere watch word to keep up a dying cause. Your looking up, with any expectation that you are ever to sit up and stand, and walk, as republicans now do, is as vain as the hope of the fabled hero of Lubberland, who is represented as on his back with his mouth wide open, looking up for provision which will never be sent him from the clouds. (Con. Mercury.)
From the PITTSFIELD SUN.
To the PEOPLE OF MASSACHUSETTS. FELLOW-CITIZENS,
WILL you hear an address from an old man that has been making observations on men and things for half a century?—It is well known that the people of this state have been, and still are, divided into a number of different sects or denominations of religion; all profess to make the Bible their rule, and acknowledge themselves accountable to God for their conduct, and although each sect maintain public worship, according to their own belief, and are peaceable citizens and good subjects to civil government, yet there is one sect or denomination that are more in number than any of the others, and they have taken upon them to take by force the property of other denominations, to build their meeting-houses and pay their ministers. I do not think there has one year past (unless in the time of the war with England) this 50 years, but what there has been more or less of that oppression done in this state, by that denomination; but I believe there cannot be produced one instance, where any other sect ever did compel others to help support their worship. When the oppressed have sought relief at the civil courts, how often has the state turned against them, and they not only lost the money that was taken from them but also heavy bills of cost. I need not name the denomination that have done these things, every one must know what denomination it is, as they are the perpetrators of all the religious oppression done in this state, from its first settlement to this day.
When the revolution took place, and the people were all pleading for liberty, I was in hopes that religious liberty would be enjoyed by all the inhabitants of this state equally alike—but how am I disappointed! For although the Constitution says, "there shall be no subordination of one sect or denomination to another," yet in many places the Baptists and other dissenters from the majority of a town, must be at the trouble of sending their names in, or else be taxed for the support of a minister they do not go to hear: and many times when they have done that, yet they are taxed to build meeting-houses, and pay ministers, with whom they have no concern, and from whom they conscientiously dissent. And why cannot these people that carry on this oppression know who belong to their society, as well as dissenters know who belong to them? And what reason is there that they should oblige other societies to inform them of all their members?—Does this look like liberty?—Would they not call it cruel tyranny, if it was imposed on them? Within my knowledge, at this present time, the Baptists in a number of towns in the Counties of Hampshire and Berkshire, are taxed to the support of Congregational ministers; and not more than one month since, some have had their property taken by force, to satisfy such taxes.
The last law that was made in this state about ministers support, empowers the majority of a town to tax all the inhabitants (except Quakers) to
build and repair meeting-houses, and settle and support ministers, and if there are any dissenters in the town, they must get a certificate, signed by their public teacher and two committee men, in order to get their money back. Is not this equal liberty?—But this is not all; for when towns have taxed dissenters, and say they have law to do it, and the poor oppressed dissenters have taken the direction of the law to get their money back, the town will refuse to return it without a law suit. The dissenters must lose their money, or be at the trouble and expence of going to law to get it. These are plain matters of fact that cannot be denied. I do not write because I am taxed myself, contrary to my mind, for I am not; but I hear the cries of the oppressed, and I with they might be delivered out of the hands of the oppressor; and that our Legislature, the next time they meet, would take this matter into serious consideration, and in their wisdom take some measure whereby the people of this state may all enjoy equal religious liberty, and no one be suffered to oppress or disturb another.
That this state may yet be a place where liberty in religion may be quietly enjoyed, and the inhabitants found good subjects of civil government, and rulers, as God's ministers, be a terror to evil doers, and a praise to them that do well, is the earnest prayer of AN OLD MAN.
Honourable contrast.—Some few years since when federalism was all the rage amongst our political beaux, we recollected to have read in the Boston papers an advertisement from his hon. Chief Justice Dana, for the sale or lease of a tavern, which was owned by his honor in the town of Cambridge; to which was added a note that "none but a federalist need apply for it." There was certainly nothing out of character in this liberal requisition, as it was a perfect sample of the liberality of the times, the party, and the man. In a late Boston paper we notice that the Hon. Mr. Gerry has advertised for sale, a number of valuable real estate belonging to him, in the town of Cambridge and elsewhere; and after stating the situation of the property, terms of sale, &c. he remarks that "no exception will be taken to liberal minded purchasers, of any nation, religion or politics."
We think that the Hon. Judge cannot fail of feeling the cutting force of this remark; though it will undoubtedly be his usual feeling of ill-humour and vexation. It is frequently thro' trifles like these, that the real characters and dispositions of men creep out; and exhibit to the world, on the one hand the liberal and gentlemanly philanthropist, and on the other the narrow and bigoted fanatic.

Imprisonment of Mr. Todd Jones.
The case of Mr. Todd Jones, who has been so long detained in prison, without any charge made against him, notwithstanding his repeated applications for a trial, notwithstanding even an implied acknowledgement of his innocence, deserves the particular attention of every man who values the principles of the British constitution. Upon the precedent of Mr. Jones' case every gentleman in Ireland enjoys the blessing of personal liberty merely at the pleasure of the government. In proportion as the people of Ireland are removed from the seat of government, and as they are separated from the sympathies and feelings of the people of England, it is incumbent on those who are desirous that the union should be real, to turn the attention of Parliament to transactions like this, and to show that the legislature of this country is paternal and protective towards all who are represented in it. We sincerely hope that the treatment experienced by Mr. Jones will be made the subject of enquiry in Parliament. We wish, indeed, it could have preceded the suspension of the habeas corpus act.
Mr. Jones has sent the following circular letter to members of Parliament, and it should likewise be made known to the public.
Preoost Prison, near Cork, January 14, 1805.
SIR, I still continue detained, as when I priated my letters to Mr. Wickham, in the same unaccountable and unjustifiable imprisonment, now for upwards of seventeen months, and sustaining all the rigors of a second winter in a military goal, after having repeatedly prayed for a trial, or an examination by unqualified purgation upon oath.
I have also been by this imprisonment (an imprisonment I believe, which, by receiving the Irish government, arises from the source of private malignity, the malice of which is too obvious to stand the bare test of investigation) been most materially injured in my pecuniary credit, which has induced, by the conclusions they naturally drew from it, all the few creditors I had to come down upon me at once for an immediate discharge of their demands; and to avoid the expence of proceedings at law, I have been obliged to give up to them the whole of my moderate income, and to subsist solely upon the goal allowance.
It would appear, therefore, that a man may now in Ireland, unimpeached of any delinquency, free from any special charge, and declared innocent by a chief secretary of his excellency the Lord Lieutenant, be deprived of his liberty, his reputation, his health, and his pecuniary credit, without any recurable redress—this is a fearful po-
tion; and becomes the case of every man in Ireland, of whatever station, property and ability.
I should deem it safe, under all its peculiar circumstances, some of them very rancorous, to afford ground on which to institute an enquiry into the present state of Ireland. Very lately after my arrest, I received, through the letter of Mr. Saurin, barrister at law, an offer of instant and unconditional liberation from Mr. Wickham, Dublin castle, with this proviso, that at my own time and the condition to be a secret from the world, I should cross over into England; but this skulking into another country, or any other step, which might bear an implication of any stain, I instantly refused—I stood, as I now stand, upon magna charta, the habeas corpus, the bill of rights and the liberty of the subject—there is "a wanton levity in my imprisonment," under my peculiar circumstances, which, in the language of Mr. Burke, "is as totally unauthorised by the practice of good times, as it is irreconcilable to the principles of our government." In the good land of England, says Mr. Sheridan, "as high as it is happy, because as just as it is free, all is definite, equitable and exact—the laws must be satisfied before they are incurred; and ere a hair of the head can be violated, I gal guilt must be established by legal proof." Alas! here I am the victim of martial law.
I am now of the age of 52 years, thus oppressed, unheard, and untried; and I cannot estimate my damages in time of time, of health, of reputation, and of pecuniary credit, to be under thirty-four thousand pounds; indeed, in my own person, I know not what compensation to me can be esteemed commensurate for near two years close imprisonment, with all its train of total solicitude, subjection to others, and the countless mental anxieties and indignities, incident to and necessarily interwoven with the thralldom of a prevoost goal.
I have the honor to be, Sir, WILLIAM TODD JONES.
PARIS, April 6.
We learn by letters from Madrid, that his Catholic Majesty has not only abandoned his right in prizes, which may be taken from the English, but decreed that the captors shall have the privilege of disposing of captured property without paying any duty to the crown. So that the whole amount captured will go to the captors.
The Captain General of Catalonia and the Prince of Peace have informed his Majesty, that the commandants of the city of St. Felin, de Quixols had offered to every family that would furnish a seaman for his majesty's squadron, three reals a day, during the present war. His majesty expressed the utmost satisfaction at the generous offer, and sanctioned the engagement.
Day before yesterday his imperial majesty (Bonaparte) left this city with his suite. We hear that he has given to the Pope a very expensive mitre, and to every Cardinal that accompanied the Pope, a box with his picture, set in diamonds.
APRIL 10.
We have now ascertained the truth respecting the fleet having sailed from Brest, by an account from that port, dated March 31, containing the following statement:—Admiral Gantheaume, wishing to make some experiments with his squadron, for the purpose of exercising his seamen in certain manoeuvres, put to sea; on discovering his movements, the English squadron took their leave, though their force consisted of 18 ships, among which were 8 three deckers—Admiral Gantheaume pursued them in line of battle,* but finding that they had quit the coast, probably with a view to obtain a reinforcement, he returned into Brest Harbor. During 3 days which the squadron employed in manoeuvring, no accident happened to the fleet, and every movement was executed with the greatest exactness. Admiral Gantheaume has expressed the highest satisfaction at the good order, skill and harmony of his officers and seamen.
APRIL 13.—Information arrived 2 days since, that the Toulon fleet had again put to sea.
* Gantheaume's force consisted of 21 sail of the line, 6 frigates and one brig.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, MAY 31.
AMERICAN NAVAL ACTION.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the revenue cutter, dated Balize, April 8, 1805.
"Shortly after we failed down to the balize, and lay there for some time, the 16th inst. news came to us by the pilot, that there were two Providence privateers off the mouth of the river, boarding and plundering all vessels that went out or came in, and had actually taken possession of the schooner Felicity, from Campeachy, bound to N. Orleans, American property, within two miles of land. At 2, P. M. the captain went ashore at the block-house and got eleven volunteers, which made our complement of men twenty-nine, as we had but eighteen on board, and the privateers were full of men, and 8 twelve pounders. At half past 2, we got under weigh, every man to his quarters, and cleared the decks for action. At 3, P. M. got within shot, and fired a signal gun at the Felicity, which she paid no attention to. At half past 3, fired two more guns which she did not mind.—The privateer close along side of her, and not willing to give her up, we rounded to and gave her a broad side, which she returned.—The other coming up they both kept up a heavy firing, which we did also for one hour, when they steered off and abandoned the Felicity, which we immediately took possession of, and brought her close under the land, where the action commenced, and came to anchor. We were obliged to lay by our quarters all night. We had on
damage done to the cutter: not one shot struck us. But I believe one of the privateers sustained a good deal of damage. The Felicity was close by the scene all the time and observed our shot fall on board of them.
"The supercargo of the Felicity, brought on board 12,300 dollars to be secure, and there was about 17,000 dollars more in the hold, which he could not get at. The vessel and cargo are worth about 35,000, which I expect we shall have a salvage on for recapturing her."
We have it from undoubted authority, that Capt. Bradley, who was lately displaced from the command of the British frigate Cambrian, on the American station, has got the command of a fine 74 gun ship, one of the Channel fleet. (Norfolk Herald.)
BOSTON, JUNE 8. OF THE TOULON FLEET.
From Malaga, we learn, that accounts had been received there, from Cadiz, stating, the arrival there of the Toulon fleet, which being joined by the Spaniards then at Cadiz, and combined, making 18 ships of the line, nine frigates, &c. failed the next day, under Admiral GRAVINA. Destination unknown. It was reported at Malaga, that a French army had commenced its march towards Portugal to subjugate that kingdom. These accounts from Malaga, are to the 16th April.
Capt. Henry, arrived at New York from Malaga, reports, that on the 13th April, off Cape St. Vincent, he was informed from a cutter belonging to an English convoy, that the Toulon squadron passed Gibraltar the 9th April; and that Lord Nelson's fleet passed the same night in pursuit of them. Our accounts from Gibraltar to the 22d April, make no mention of the passing of Nelson's fleet:—On the contrary, it was supposed that his Lordship was making his way to Egypt in quest of the French.
An arrival at New York, from Cadiz, which place was left the day before the Toulon fleet is reported to have left port, reports, that there were then in that port, eight sail of Spanish, and one French, ships of the line, besides frigates;—on board which troops, ordnance, &c. were daily embarking.—All nearly ready for sea.
FIRE!—The extensive Rope-Walks in Philadelphia, belonging to Messrs. Snowdon & North, have recently been consumed by fire.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
Messrs. Printers,
AS the Wardens of the Episcopalian Church have acquitted themselves with honor, in endeavoring to investigate and find out the real author of the book of Letters recently published in this town. And as the supposed author (Mr. Smith) has given them the most unequivocal satisfaction that he was not the author, and had not the most distant concern in said publication, and having acquitted himself also with honor to the entire satisfaction of every respectable proprietor of the church. I would with to ask, why all this rioting, noise and confusion by night round the house where the Baptist Society meet? Why do the proper officers of the town suffer such outrage? Instances have repeatedly occurred, where large rocks have been thrown with such violence against the house, as really to terrify those within, who were humbly and peaceably worshipping their God and Saviour. At other times, stones and brickbats have been thrown thro' the windows with such violence as to break the sash, and rattle the whole window almost to atoms. One rock that would weigh 40 lbs. was thrown in this manner on Wednesday night last, which flew in the window, and fell with great violence down into the broad Ille; which, if it had struck any one on the head, it must have been instant death. —Yes, I am sorry to say it, some young men, who would fain, by day, be tho' young gentlemen, have gone repeatedly in dead of night, and given vent to their malignant passions, by taking the windows out of the meeting-house, carrying them at a little distance, and breaking them to pieces.
Such conduct as the above, ought to be dispelled even by the vulgar part of society. And yet there are some gentlemen's sons and married men, seen every night among the mob. Young men, as you value your character and reputation in the world, forsake such despicable ways; if you cannot go to the house of God peaceable, don't go to disturb the humble, peaceable worshippers therein. Remember there is a day fast approaching, when all such conduct as you have been guilty of in the dark, shall be proclaimed in open day, (and before the whole universe) upon the house top. When those who have been the dispensers of JASUS, and have injured one of his little ones (meaning believers) it would have been better for him that a mill-stone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of his believing children. These things are not to be trifled with, (however light some may think of them.) What greater crimes can be committed on earth, than those above mentioned? It is like crucifying the Son of God afresh and opening all his wounds. For has he not said whosoever offendeth one of his little ones, toucheth the apple of his eye? And what more tender place could they touch?
Such conduct is surely enough to call down the vengeance of already incensed Heaven on this Sodomish place. May the kind Lord avert his judgments, forgive the crying guilt of Sodom, and rain down a glorious shower of his convincing and converting grace into every heart in Portsmouth, and bring every believer to see eye to eye, and sweetly to join in the melodious song, "worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive blessing and honor, glory, dominion and power, forever and ever." AMEN.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY JUNE 11, 1805.
THURSDAY last, the two Houses met in convention, at Concord, when his Excellency JOHN LANGDON, Esq. came in, and delivered the following SPEECH:—
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
IN obedience to the call of my fellow citizens, who have thought proper by their free suffrages to choose me their chief executive magistrate for the present year, I have found it incumbent on me to accept the important trust, and shall attend to the duties of the Office, with all that fidelity which its great responsibility demands.—
I regret that my talents are not more equal to the station, but such as I have, shall be most faithfully employed in co-operating with you to protect and secure the freedom, independence and happiness of the people.
It is greatly to be lamented that for some years past our citizens have been so much divided in their political sentiments—This makes it in some measure necessary for me to declare mine.—
I consider myself a republican, and have uniformly (as far as I have been able) from the year 1775 to this day, supported the principles of a free elective government of the people, from whom all our power and authority originate, being fully convinced that a Republican Government faithfully administered, is the strongest, the freest and the best that has ever yet been experienced—
The Constitution of the United States guarantees to each state, a republican form of government; and here permit me to congratulate you and the rest of my fellow-citizens, that the general affairs of the union are at present conducted by a wise, virtuous and magnanimous administration, in which I do not hesitate to say, the people may place their utmost confidence.—
When we look around and view the unparalleled happiness of our country; the civil and religious liberty we enjoy; agriculture, commerce and manufactures flourishing; the general tranquility that prevails; the immense acquisition of territory by the session of Louisiana, and the complete arrangement of the finances of the United States; in short, prosperity appearing in every direction; surely we have the greatest reason for thankfulness and gratitude to the supreme disposer of all events, for so many inestimable blessings.—
It would be unnecessary for me to take up your time in saying anything of foreign affairs, as those relations are confided to our general government.—Coming as you do, gentlemen from all parts of the state, you must of course be much better acquainted with the wants and wishes of our constituents, than I am able to point out. Should it be your determination to hold another session of the Legislature this year, the present of course would be of short duration, as little else than the immediate, local prudential matters of the State, with the unfinished business of the last session, would claim your attention at this time.—
I shall only mention that the state of the Treasury will be laid before you, your wisdom will determine whether any and what sum of money it will be necessary to raise the current year. In public as in private concerns, economy is very desirable, but at the same time such sums of money should be raised, as will sufficiently answer the exigencies of the state.—
Could I think the present session would continue long enough, I should urge the necessity of making some further arrangement for establishing our militia upon a more respectable footing, as I consider it of the highest importance; but whether this business can be taken up, with propriety, this session, is for your determination.
I shall with pleasure concur with you in all such acts and resolves as you may think proper to pass, which shall appear for the safety and advantage of the Citizens, and unite with you in the best endeavors to harmonize the public mind, by making every exertion to promote the tranquility and happiness of our Country."
John Langdon.
State of New-Hampshire, Concord, June 6, 1805.
Republican Festival.
The anniversary of American Independence, and the glorious triumph of Republicanism in New-Hampshire, will be celebrated in this town on the fourth day of July next, at Jefferson Hall, where the Republican Citizens of this and the adjacent towns, are respectfully invited to join in the festival.
N. B.—A subscription paper for the above Festival, is left at Mr. E. Wentworth's Store, head of Buck-street.
Federalism Expiring.
Extract of a letter from Concord.
"The Honorable JOHN LANGDON is elected Governor by a majority of 3810 votes."
"Clement Storer is President of the Senate."
"Samuel Bell is Speaker of the House of Representatives."
"Nathaniel Gilman is Treasurer."
"Philip Carrigan, jr. is Secretary of the State."
"There are four Republicans and one Federalist in the Council."
"A Republican Majority of more than fifty grace the House of Representatives."
"In the Senate there are eight Republicans to four Federalists."
"John Calf is Clerk of the House of Representatives, and Nathl. Weare Assistant Clerk."
"George Gains Commissary General."
"The Election Sermon was the best ever delivered in New-Hampshire."
The defeat of this monster is complete—it is fallen never, never, never to rise again ; and it is now that we may anticipate with confidence, the rapid dispersion of those clouds, which have too long obscured the understanding and misled the judgement of a number of the Citizens of this State, it is now that we look forward to the complete and undisputed triumph of those principles of genuine Republicanism, which alone can secure the rights and privileges, and promote the peace and happiness of the people.
We congratulate the Citizens of this State and the Union on this happy, thrice happy change.
Extracts of a Letter from Concord.
"Among the numerous changes that have taken place in the Government, none except that of the chief magistrate, has afforded more general pleasure, than the unexpected election of NAHUM PARKER, Esq. The feds, dreading the influence of his well known talents, had exerted all their energies, sparing neither trouble nor expence, to prevent his election; and relying, as Mr. Parker did, in the most federalised quarter of the State, there was too much reason to fear they had been successful. But the counsellors being elected by the county at large, he received a support, which both the town and particular district in which he resided, were too federal to afford him—Tho' it must be acknowledged his talents would have been more powerfully felt, had he been placed in the Legislature; but as the blind prejudices of party, will probably for some time, prevent so desirable a measure, it has become a prevailing sentiment with the Republican members, that at the next election of a Senator for Congress, Mr. Parker will be generally supported—such respectable talents would do honor to the State, and he would in the Senate of the United States, have an opportunity of exercising them in a sphere in which they would be eminently useful. Was the election of a Senator to Congress, to take place the present session, he would have almost the unanimous suffrage of the Republican interest, and this will doubtless be the case, when a vacancy actually takes place."
From Concord.
"At length the triumph of Republicanism is complete—Every branch of the government is renovated; but not till all the resources that despair could furnish, were exhausted. The industry and ingenuity of our adversaries were worthy of a nobler cause. Their means were as various as the persons they wished to manage. Among other prominent plans, was that of endeavoring to persuade the People that the Republicans had shifted their candidate, and imposing any other upon them that they thought would be acceptable. The name most commonly used on these occasions, was that of Col. LEVI BARTLETT, nothing could be more averse from his wishes than impeding the election of Mr. L. but he was inappreciated of these federal devices—presuming on the respectability of Col. Bartlett, and knowing that he had been mentioned as a probable candidate for the chair at some future day, the federalists hoped to create a division by this expedient, but this like their other projects, has happily been frustrated, and the Man of the People is again placed in the situation to which the Republicans have long wished to elevate him."
COMMUNICATION.
We are informed that Mrs. HANNAH BRACKETT, relict of the Honorable Joshua Brackett, Esq. M. D. late of this town, deceased ; has by will disposed of a handsome property for charitable uses, viz.—A large sum for a fund at an annuity for Orphan Children—Two thousand dollars to HARVARD UNIVERSITY, for establishing a Botanical Professor there; and five hundred dollars to the New-Hampshire Medical Society—Her deceased husband having given to the said Medical Society about 140 medical publications during his life. These donations to the Medical Society, have placed the corporation in a situation to become
useful and respectable—we understand they have added to the library about 80 volumes of modern publications, and are adding yearly thereto from donations of its members. The attention of the society to the true interest of the faculty in disseminating medical knowledge, and encouraging communications of new or uncommon cases of disease, and in punctually attending the medical meetings to give advice and assistance to distressed patients applying therefor, is highly honorable to the members, especially to those gentlemen who have quit the practice.
At a stated meeting of the New-Hampshire MEDICAL SOCIETY, held at Exeter, on Wednesday May 29. 1805, the following Officers were chosen—
A. R. CUTLER, M. D. President. Hon. SAMUEL TENNEY, Vice-President. Dr. T. S. RANNEY, Treasurer. Joseph Tilton, William Cutter, Lyman Spalding, & Edmund Chadwick, Counsellors. Dr. Levi Bartlett, Secretary. Dr. T. S. Ranney, Engraver. Dr. William Cutter, Lyman Spalding, & John Fogg, Editors. Dr. Josiah Bartlett, Librarian.
.....DIED..... In this town, Mr. WM. SWANSON. On Saturday last departed this life, Mrs. MARY BUCKMINSTER, aged 39, consort of the Rev. Dr. Buckminster—She was in the enjoyment of her usual health, about three hours previous to her death. Her remains will be interred this afternoon at 5 o'clock. "Be ye also ready."
Departed this life at Raymond on Tuesday the 21st. ult. of an indispotion of only 18 hours, the Hon. JOHN DUDLEY, Esq. aged 80; formerly a judge of the Superior Court. The virtues of the deceased can derive but a feeble lustre from the records of a newspaper, but the remembrance will ever live in the hearts of his friends; if benevolence which wept at the sight of others woe; if a sensibility at the oppression wrong, and a heart overflowing with benevolence to all, can render man lamented here and happy hereafter, the grave of the deceased will be watered, with the tears of his acquaintances, and angels with rapture will bare him to the shores of a blessed immortality.—The records of New-Hampshire will show the early and effective part he took in her councils during the revolutionary war; and such was his ardor to establish the independence of his country, that for eight successive years he never found time to spend one week together with his family.
Such in that moment as in all the past, Our guard my country heaven, was still his left.
Court Pleister of an excellent quality, by the gross, dozen or single sheet.

FROM THE BALANCE.
THE LOVER'S ADIEU.
Supposed to have been presented on the morning of his departure for a distant land.
And must I bid my love farewell? Sweet, charming maid—adieu! No longer my present griefs can tell, No words can speak them true: The fatal day begins to dawn, Which bids me part from you, And chiding, warns me to be gone, But still I'll say—adieu!
Those fleeting hours of bliss are past, Which gave me to my love, The present moment, fly as fast, And I must hence remove: Yet when departing far away, No more thy charms I view; Still, sighing, in my heart I'll say, Sweet, blooming nymph—Adieu!
M. Time, upon his eagle wings, Glide swiftly on his way, Till with revolving years, he brings That blest, that happy day, When we shall meet, no more to part, Then, constant, kind and true, We'll live and love—till death's cold dart Shall seal our last—adieu.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.
On Saturday, the 1st inst. about 11 o'clock in the day as Mr. ROBERT LITHGOW MURRAY and Capt. WILLIAM HOWARD, both of this place, were taking a sail for amusement, about two miles below the town, the boat was suddenly upset, by a violent gust of wind, and sunk immediately.
Capt. HOWARD, with the utmost difficulty and exertion, swam to the shore.—But, alas! poor MURRAY sunk to a watry grave, to rise no more!
Mr. MURRAY was born in Boothbay, in the Province of Maine, on the 8th day of February, 1779; and was the second son of that much celebrated preacher, and most worthy character, the late Rev. John Murray of this town.
The mournful death of Mr. MURRAY is peculiarly distressing to his relations, and likewise to his immediate friends and acquaintance. His many openhanded character, his gentlemanly politeness and urbanity, his sterling integrity and honor, and his genuine philanthropy, endeared him as a brother, to all those who were acquainted with his virtues.
He was, indeed, the real friend to all in adversity, and possessed the rare and noble quality of correcting the foibles of his intimate friends in prosperity.
But alas! he is no more! Yesterday, in the full bloom of health; to-day, in eternity! Yesterday, in the full enjoyment of terrestrial friends; to-day, in Paradise! Farewell! departed ghost of our friend—farewell!
Relatives and friends of the deceased, we are now called to pay the last sad tribute of respect to departed worth. We are, likewise, emphatically warned not to place too great dependence on fleeting and transitory objects.
Vain are our brightest prospects; futile our most sanguine hopes.
Could the fond hope of a doting mother, the darling wish of a sister and brother, the sympathising tear of friendship, have arrested the conqueror of time, MURRAY had still been our friend and companion.—But alas! we murmur not at this solemn and mysterious dispensation of Providence. We are daily taught that a life of virtue and philanthropy is no sure pledge of lasting enjoyment here; but a certain passport to a higher and better world.

ON PRIDE.
When we look at the field of corn, we find that those stalks which raise their heads the highest, are the emptiest.
The fame is the case with men,—those who assume the greatest consequence, have generally the least share of judgment and ability.
There is no vice more insupportable and more universally hated than pride: it is a kind of poison which corrupts all the good qualities of a man, and whatever merit he may otherwise possess, this single fault is sufficient to render him odious and contemptible; so that by pleasing himself too much, he displeases every one else. Pride is the first vice which takes possession of the heart, because it drives its source from self-love, and it is the last that remains, whatever efforts may be made to expel it.
There are two kinds of people whom we ought never to contradict; those who are far above us, and those who are far below us.
If we examine our own thoughts, we shall find that they are principally employed on the past or the future—we seldom or never think of the present, and if we do, it is only to enable us to lay plans for the future.
Hence it happens, that we never live, we always hope to live, and are preparing for being happy; but it is certain we never can be so, unless we fix our attention upon something solid and lasting.
It is not abundance and riches that can render us happy, but the use we make of them. Horace, therefore, is not contented with wishing wealth from the gods, he begs also, that they would teach him the art of enjoying it.

MARY ELIZABETH SYMMES. Portsmouth, May 28, 1805.  To the Honorable Nathaniel Rogers Esq. Judge of Probate of Wills, &c. in and for the County of Rockingham.  THE Memorial of ABRAHAM PERKINS, of Epping, in said county, husbandman, sheweth—that this day, to his great surprise and indignation, he has had information, that JONATHAN ELIOT, of the same Epping on the 8th day of April last, complained to your Honor, that your memorialist was "non compos mentis, and incapable of taking care of himself and his property, and stood in need of a Guardian for that purpose," and requesting that one might be appointed. That your Honor on the same day directed the Selectmen of said Epping, to make inquisition thereinto and report to you their opinion. That on the 29th day of the same April two of said Selectmen reported, that they were of opinion that the said ABRAHAM PERKINS, was non compos mentis, and stood in need of a guardian, to take care of his person family and property," and recommended Joseph Blake, jun. for that trust—that on this representation, your Honor there afterwards, to wit, at Exeter, in said county, on the same day, adjudged that your memorialist was non compos mentis, and appointed the said Blake his guardian.  By this summary decree made without any previous notice whatever being given to your memorialist, he is unjustly deprived of his "natural essential and inherent rights—the enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring possessing and protecting property, and of seeking and obtaining happiness." By this act he is disfranchised—his person made subject to the capricious will of a master—his property wrested from him—and he despoiled of every thing that can render life desirable.  Your memorialist avers that he is not now and thank heaven he never was an idiot, non compos, lunatic, or a distracted person. He has such a portion of wisdom and sound discretion, as it hath pleased God to bestow upon him, a portion sufficient to enable him to take prudent care of his person, family and property, without the officious aid of pretended friends. He has only to regret that he has not made a more profitable use of these inestimable endowments.  He admits that he has sometimes committed acts of indiscretion; but not such as renders it necessary to restrain him of his liberty, or deprive him of the use and disposal of his property—he is willing that those who are wise at all hours, and who never offended should be his accusers.  Your memorialist does not believe that any improper motive influenced your Honor in making the degrading injurious decree aforesaid. He avers that you have been imposed upon and deceived by men, some of whom have totally misapprehended the law, and by others who have wilfully and fraudulently misstated the facts. He therefore prays that you would revoke, disallow and render null and void the decree and appointment aforesaid, and thereby reinstate him in the full enjoyment of those rights, privileges and immunities which God and the equal and just laws of his country entitle him to hold—and he as in duty bound will pray. ABRAHAM PERKINS.  Epping, May 24, 1805. Rockingham, ff. May 3d, 1805.  Upon reading and considering the foregoing memorial, it is ordered that the memorialist be heard thereon at the Probate office in Exeter, on Wednesday next, at three of the clock P. M., and that this week he cause the said Selectmen of Epping and the said Joseph Blake, jun. to be served with a copy of the said memorial—that they may then appear and show cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof should not be granted. NATH'L ROGERS. Adourned to Monday next 3 o'clock P. M. Rockingham, ff.  Probate Court at Exeter the 13th day of May 1805, by adjournment from the 8th instant.  The parties concerned in the foregoing memorial, being heard by their Counsel learned in the law, their respective witnesses examined, and their testimony considered. It appears that the said Abraham Perkins is not non compos mentis; and that the said report of the said Selectmen was founded upon a misapprehension of the law.  I do therefore decree that the said guardianship be and it hereby is revoked, annulled and made void, and that the letters purporting the same to be committed to the said Blake, be and hereby are revoked and declared null and void. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the court of Probate for said county to be affixed, the 19th day of May Anno Domini 1805. NATH'L ROGERS.  COPY EXAMINED, PR.
