And the said boards shall make a full report to the secretary of the treasury, to be by him laid before Congress for their final decision, of all claims grounded on such grants, warrants, or orders of survey, as may have been disallowed by the said boards on suspicion of their being antedated, or otherwise fraudulent.

Political Miscellany.
From the Farmer's Cabinet.
MR. PRINTER,
IN answer to a spurious, unfair and partial "History of the proceedings of the Legislature" of this State, introduced into the Courier of New-Hampshire , and copied into the Portsmouth Oracle by way of a Letter, stating certain transactions, at the last Session, in a light, the most unparadisable of any thing that has ever been offered to the public, by that party, who have the assurance, (I had like to have said the impudence) to style themselves " Federalists of the Washington school "—you will oblige a friend by publishing the following observations:—
When any person undertakes to give a history of certain things, which have taken place between opposite parties, it is expected of him, and honor and justice require it from him, that he should not misrepresent the views and actions of one party, and conceal the views and actions of the other; but to represent things as they really were. That the historian has not represented things truly, is very evident; as also that his partiality has greatly injured himself & the party he with, to favor.
As to any intrigue with young members, or undue influence exercised by the republicans, the assertion is wholly without foundation,—and the whole federal school are challenged to produce one single instance of even an attempt of the kind. But have they
forgotten that a noted federalist gave up his lodgings to a republican, who was a stranger in Concord, that he might be placed alone with some of the most influential federal characters in the State? It would be needless to state, that he was ungenerously beset, through the whole session, to fall in with their views, without effect; as he well knew that their views were repugnant to the precepts and examples of the venerable Hero, to whose school they professed to belong.
Have they forgotten that the printing of the Laws and Journals of the Legislature, as well as the advertisements, respecting non-resident lands, was given to the editor of the New-Hampshire Gazette, so long as the editor of that paper was federal; and that, as soon as it was edited by a republican, it became a party question, and the printing of the laws and journals was given to the editor of the Courier of N. H. ? As the Courier has not an extensive circulation, the greater part of the non-residents would never be able to learn that their lands were advertised, which would open a fine door for speculators. One of the federalists, last year, (when an attempt was made to move that part of the printing to Concord) frankly declared, in the General Court, that the Courier had so limited a circulation, that an advertisement stuck up on any hemlock tree, in the woods, would be as beneficial to that part of state where he resided, as it would be if published in the Courier . This may account for that unusual candor displayed by the federal party, (and of which they have the vanity to boast) while they had the power in their own hands.
Or have they forgotten the usage of Parson Howard, when the General Court sat in Hopkinton? This is a fine specimen of their toleration and spirit of forbearance, while they had the power in their own hands. As Parson Howard was young in the ministry, and not accustomed to pray before so large and respectable a body of men, he was rather intimidated; he prayed, however, fervently for the government of the United States generally, and particularized the several branches of the Legislature, in his prayer, without intentionally omitting any thing he deemed fit and proper for him to mention. Some persons in the gallery, who were well acquainted with him, and knew him to be well grounded in republican principles, regretted his being appointed Chaplain, and whispered it about to the federal members that Parson Howard was a jacobin, and that he did not pray for the President of the United States. A great hubbub was then made; one said he never heard him mention the name of the President, so said many others, and down with him —was the cry. The business of the session was interrupted, to choose a committee, or appoint some person, to wait upon him, and inform him that the Legislature had no further occasion for his services. They did not stop here, but passed a resolve, (if I mistake not) censuring him for his conduct, and hastily published it in the newspapers; representing him in the worst light they were capable of, evidently tending to injure his character and prosperity in life. He had all those titles and epithets of the day, which federalists of the Washington school , as they style themselves, so candidly heap upon the republicans. To be sure, they are weighty words, and have more force, in federal estimation, than truth and common sense. I will quote a few, viz.— French demagogues, negro-voters, Gallo-Americans, jacobins, fanatics, Tolerands, &c. &c.
And have they forgotten, when one of the Mr. Gilmans was a candidate for Senator to Congress, for this state, that one of those, whom they say have been made a victim to party fury, industriously circulated a false report amongst the members, that Mr. Gilmans was not then an inhabitant of this State, in order to prevent his election, and secure that of Mr. Plumer , who was a thorough going federalist, and a very religious man?
Have, indeed, the two Mr. Gilmans lost the confidence of the federalists, without securing the good opinion of the democrats? Even so, has a Court of Justice lost the confidence of a highwayman. And have they, to gratify a resentment, formed a con-
nection with persons inimical to their family; decidedly in opposition to the professed politics of both? Was the office of Treasurer the price for which one bartered away his principles! O, horrid detraction! Can any honest citizen of this State place any kind of confidence or reliance upon such calumniators, though they should style themselves of the Washington school .
What, shall the immortal memory of the renowned Hero of Columbia be thus tarnished? Forbid it, Heaven! Shall the name of the venerable Washington be borrowed to give currency to scandal and abuse, without a frown? No. Such deeds of darkness shall be brought to light; and appear in their true colors. Then they will become harmless as Sampson, when his locks were shorn. Their authors, without doubt, will strive, at their political death, to do more mischief than all they have done in their lives before; by dividing the Union and destroying the Constitution. Washington's Farewell Address at once condemns their conduct. Methinks I hear the voice of the departed Hero chiding them for injuring his peaceful manes, saying, defist, ye workers of iniquity—I know ye not .
But, to return to the Historian; who states, that Mr. Peabody was elected Treasurer, at the first balloting. This is a gross falsehood. At the first trial there were 83 votes for Mr. Peabody, 88 for Mr. Gilman, and one for J. Langdon, making, in the whole, 172; which were two votes more than there were members in convention, and three more than there were members who voted, one being out of the house. The paper, stated to be obtained, of 85 members, who have given their names that they voted for Mr. P. the first time, is a thing not to be depended upon. Several influential federalists, among whom were some lawyers, were very busy out doors, to procure a private list of all who voted the first time for Mr. Peabody. One member, in particular, and, most likely, one of the 85, informed me that the first time he voted for Treasurer, he voted for Mr. Peabody. The fact was, the first time he voted for Treasurer, was the year before, as he afterwards stated, saying, he did not know but he had done wrong; and he further stated, that he did not know what use they were going to make of their knowledge, if they obtained the secret from him. This is a fact that may be depended upon, and proved when required. The probability was, that he and some others, of the 85, might be indebted to some forbearing federalist, and seeing several lawyers so inquisitive, after having lost the election of their treasurer, must have expected a suit, or injury to themselves, from some other quarter; and, without doubt, they might have procured the names of five more, who voted last year for Mr. Peabody. The most candid of both parties seemed desirous to ascribe the three supernumerary votes to some unforeseen accident, either of being left in the lining of the hats, at a former balloting, or some other accidental way. The Speaker was overlooked very attentively by several members, both federal and republican, and any mistake in counting would be likely to be discovered.
If seven or eight years, holding one of the most important offices in the State, entitles a man to hold the office for life, and he must be called a victim, sacrificed to party spirit, if another person should be elected to the office, we are indeed to be pitied. In the State of Massachusetts they have a law that no person shall be eligible to the office of Treasurer for more than four years successively; for it is considered dangerous to entrust the office in the hands of one man too long, as it is in the power of the Treasurer, not only to create an undue influence in his own, or his friends favor, by the help of the State's money; and if he should loan out the State's money to merchants and speculators, and several of these failing the State must be a loser, and share the fate of creditors, when their debtors fail.
As to the slur which the Historian, (if I may be allowed the expression) has endeavored to cast upon Mr. Morrill, he might as well have held his

peace. But since he has broke the ice, he and his party must help themselves out the best way they can. Mr. Morrill's character, for truth and veracity, stands as fair as Mr. Chamberlain's, where they are both known. When Mr. Chamberlain queried with Mr. Morrill, whether the time he had reference to, was not when he went to the Clerk's table, to hand a vote to his friend, Mr. M. said, no: he recollected that time very well: that the time he had reference to was a little while before, and that he was willing to take an oath to the truth of his statement. Other testimony from the gallery could have been procured, of the first respectability, as to truth and uprightness, strengthening the statement of Mr. Morrill, if the matter had been carried to a greater length. There are facts that may be relied on, and proved if required. Candor, and not a perfecting spirit, is what pervaded the minds of the republicans; and had the same spirit pervaded the minds of the federalists, they would never have first endeavored to throw the odium upon the republicans, or have harrowed up the matter anew after the whole had been amicably settled.
Enough has been said to answer the Hittorian, as to the whole history, for it has almost become proverbial that the party, (who, since the Governor's spirited and manly address, have assumed the name of Federalists of the Washington school) misrepresent all the views and actions of the republicans, without any regard to truth or honesty.
A PLOUGHMAN.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
To "MANLIUS."
I WAS too late to meet you, honorable Sir Manlius , in the Political-Sar, and to compliment you upon the reiu of antic humor, you are pleased to display upon the misfortune of another, which you call embarrassment —and upon a gentleman of more solid worth than nine out of ten of our federal people, as far as I know them. But as you live upon the misfortunes of others, it is a high source of fun to you; it fills the meanness and malignity of your narrow soul, accompanied by your more narrow genius! I know the gentleman; he is to reality Sir Manlius : he has the manners of a gentleman; he has abilities; he is a man of probity and integrity; qualifications that highly entitled him to have the honor to be placed upon the republican list—a list that does honor to the State. They are the friends of their country, and feel a national pride in the high founding title of republicans! Your federal intruders will not prevail or avail to fewer us. We are united upon PRINCIPLE, while you and your forlorn party are fighting for your lost leaves and fishes ! But, honorable Sir Manlius , what have we to do with your Connecticut Grifwold in our New-Hampshire arrangements. He will not thank you; he is a man of talents—you lessen him: no thing you can write or say can add to his celebrity. Men of real talents have a lot of pride that you labor to discover in your awkward way, republicans are remarkable for—they do not like to be handled by dividers , particularly of their own party. Why do you dwell upon talents , and force as upon comparisons that are invidious, and in this sense truly odious? Do you think we cannot discern why Mr. Hunt, a man of the world, who knows the world, a well read man, naturally a sensible man, is dropped in your own ticket, for Mr. Betton —or Mr. Clagget , a mild, unalluring, pleasant, independent gentleman of education , is dropped for a Mr. Hough . If this turns out so, no matter how. With what face of decency can you presume to contrast the talents on your federal list, with those on our republican list? In the name of inquiry only, why do you do it? Why are you so indirect as to drive us from the ground we with to take as republicans, entitling ourselves the friends of our country, because we think you, by your acts have rendered yourselves obnoxious, and by those acts we file you enemies to the happiness of your country. Why will you be so much more indirect as to put us to contrast your list with ours, for talents and services , that must, in the portrait, raise a blush, if you have any shame left, "which I doubt." Now for services —and as I have finished my why's , I will go on with your how's .—Ask a Connecticut man a question, his first answer is always how Sir ? How ridiculous for a boy of eight years of age, instead of a manly politician, honorable Sir Manlius ! Your writing resembles little gilt tale books and histrionics —"How travellers were passing in India, order great trees for shade, and monks began to make mouths and make water on them." "How Tom Thumb was eat up by a great cow, at one end, and come out at the other." "How an accident happened to an old woman's crockery Jordan; and to console her, it immediately turned into a beautiful China Slipper, to answer the same purpose." "How they labored to put Mr. Gilman out, and put Mr. Langdon in. A more important service cannot be rendered by a citizen of this State. You seem to be very unfortunate in your statement of services , as well as comparison of talents . A constitutional voice of a majority, had they been properly returned, virtually put Mr. Langdon in the chair—And will actually place our Members in Congress, unless New-Hampshire swerves from her principles, or republicanism has declined since the last election, which is not likely. It appears to me, therefore, you have given yourself much superfluous pains by your funny attempt or attempts at the jocose , which you are not equal to. I could tell you what you are equal to. Yet, as the subject on both sides is so ridiculous and argument out of the question, it is free for us to rub a little wax: You are very welcome to begin with.
* History of Tom Thumb . † Adventures of a Jester .
so me, L. Like the jester—it fills my levity, and your weight. It is a great happiness for men of wit, that they borrow their images from natural appearances: how naturally and soberly does it arise for a man of real wit , when he is writing in the dog days , to recommend his readers to take a cool day for his reflections: there is a natural sublimity in this image, something cooling for the effervescence of federalism. How much more cool , if the writer had his mouth stuffed with tobacco, aided by a fegat , hot at one end; his legs sprawling over a table, particularly if there are ladies in the room; "this, is cool indeed;" to heighten the scene, the back must be turned to them, talking of what is least understood by them or him—"Politics,"—for instance, the "magnitude of Virginia" is a fine unintelligible topic. Why not the magnitude of Mr. Plummer, of Epping—the magnitude of New-Hampshire in the Senate? Has not that single individual as much power as the Senator from Virginia? Has Virginia more than two? Has New-Hampshire less? Have they not a check upon the vast power of the body in Congress? Is not a vast power placed in the hands of Mr. Plummer? Has not New-Hampshire her full representation? Is it not lately increased according to the census? Will it not increase in the same proportion with the other States? All nature, moral, political, intellectual and (supernal), have their flawed operations. Admit Virginia is a larger State, has the magnitude of the the magnitude of the Sidus Herschel —the Ceres —or the Sidus Herculeum of the heavens, lately discovered, disturbed the solitary and revolutionary course in the several orbits ? Is the system more affected by being lately discovered?—No. The Almighty has suspended them by his own laws, and sustains them under infinitely wise directions.—The grand, solemn, silent music of the spheres! As well or as ill may the magnitude of Virginia be considered to affect the union of America, comparing great things with small. No! Manlius, the public mind in America is too well enlightened—it is right—they perceive their true interests and pursue them. I know it is un fashionable for a person who knows any thing, to communicate his knowledge because it has been the fashion to keep this part of New-England in ignorance! It cannot be done; the light has broken in upon them, that your dog day fog cannot obscure under the affection of contacts and sober reflection ! There are two parts of your second exhibition that are hardly worth attending to; what relates to that worthy man, Judge Walker, (whom you despise with the impudence and ignorance of those "who take the wrong law by the ear") and then the stale, false, impious and outrageous charges of drunkenness, brutality and impiety (which is what you infer) upon the President, one of, if not "the greatest of men, in all respects, this earth produces." As it regards the third party, (you and those you are indirectly, if not directly connected with) I repeat, you know nothing of the circumstances that originated him upon the Congressional ticket. Is it uncommon for a separate district, like the county of Rockingham, to have a predilection for a particular candidate? At this moment, in the fourth east district of Vermont, are there not two republican candidates, and when the first trial is made unite upon the stale , as we do upon Gen. Storer, the moment the Judge declined.—Gen. Storer is not such a foot as to consider any personality towards him, or else he should be sent to school instead of Congress. He knows the world too well; you discover your ignorance of the subject, and write much for the entertainment of those who do know these circumstances. I beg for one, Manlius, that you will allow a native of the town of Portsmouth, among inhabitants nearly numbering eight thousand; that we may at least claim a little influence in common with other towns, or at least an equal right with IMPERIAL EXETER, whose foundation is land . We are the chief town in our own county, and do not interfere with other counties or towns.—We certainly are first , locally and personally, to know the best men among us; and we think Judge Walker one of them. Thus fell Burr, McKean, Breckenridge. Here again you are unfortunate. I never heard of Burr and Breckenridge declining power, but I do know that Judge Walker did. At the last election for State officers in March, I was stigmatized as a politic fellow , by you or your coadjutor: "the tall man with the cane," because I hinted at the intriguing of Mr. Breckenridge for the Vice Presidency; and an application was made to me to become an intriguer , but as I am not scrambling for power , I had rather be a plain, open, frank republican. It was convenient for you too to blackguard me, as you do Mr. Jefferson, and with just as little success. For be assured, Manlius, the republicans are much obliged to you; you cannot take a surer method to insure our Congressional ticket, than to abuse Mr. Jefferson. New-Hampshire has had the brilliant experience, and has evidenced her lenie of a Jefferson—that has belied all your predictions and assertions of burning our Bibles and meeting houses, ravishing our wives! Shameful, or rather shameless ! That men can render themselves so brutal ! Men of character , (at least official) can you form an expectation of one single vote by such base, unworthy, foul calumny? On the contrary, if the citizens of New-Hampshire will turn out in the other counties as we shall in the county of Rockingham, we shall give a fresh proof of our attachment to Jefferson and the Union, and give the lie to his slanderers, by our united and undivided vote for

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Messrs. PRINTERS,
IN reviewing the names of the candidates for REPRESENTATIVES in our National Legislature, conspicuous stands the names of
CLEMENT STORER, THOMAS COGSWELL, JEDEDIAH K. SMITH, NAHUM PARKER, & EZRA BARTLETT.
I have ever considered a candid discussion of public measures, ever meritorious, and private characters sacred as possible. I trust that all the wise and good will concur that my statements are founded on truth; and all that I shall write is open, sincere and just. I aim at the public good, and hope they will consider my intentions as such, meriting their fullest approbation. I have never considered it good policy to take the professions or men, by the groce. There are good and bad of all denominations. I felt indignant at the aspersion in a late federal paper, "leave the party to fight their ignoble battles." Did the gentleman mean that it was derogatory for freemen to decide who are the most deserving of their approbation? Or does the puny set of would-be kings , suppose that they possessed the quintessence of understanding? And that the republicans are the only legitimate children of the Constitution? Must go into the back ground, and wait in humble posture, until they receive orders from my lords and gentlemen ? Most astonishing vanity! Consume folly! It is really laughable to hear them talk of wealth, fame, religion, &c. Poor fools, how much you are deceived. A prostitute may with the same propriety boast of her delicate sensibility and real virtue!—They fawn their want of information and clevor.
Let us be cautious, that we do not neglect the most important part, for us to know of history.—May we ever display energy in action, dictated by clearness of perception, and supported by firmness; investigating with impartiality the characters of those that we are about to clothe with important offices. Suffer no more novices to enter our national councils.
I should be sorry to descend into modern federal abuse—it is infamous: society has been rent in twain by federalism; and they have committed the most enormous crimes with impunity:—The people have been oppressed, and to add to their oppression, torrents of calumny has flowed from the desk; where we ought only to hear the gospel of our Lord and Saviour,—many of the Clergy have quite forgotten their duty (if they ever knew it) they have wandered from the special, and happy fields of gospel ordinance, to descend into the wilderness of earthly governments and even there destitute of christian virtues—they ought to be ashamed of their conduct:—alotho' it is federal pride to have Priests to become their potent engines to disseminate their degrading dogmas; politically infamous, and highly derogatory for virtuous and enlightened citizens to bear; it betrays a littleness of mind to stoop to the meanness, or condescend to the caprice of tyrants.
Therefore, my friends, on the 27th instant, let us, with independence of mind, choose out of our friends the most suitable men: disregard private connections and every sinister view, act the honest and independent part as citizens: Leaving to modern federalists the exclusive privilege of an hypocritical name to cover their most wicked designs against the rights of man: to render riches and potent titles superior to real worth.—I had only need to mention the pivot on which corruption has run for a length of time. And perhaps at some future day, another Hamilton will arrest our liberties—and we the sons and legal heirs of American independence, hurled like the poor deluded sons of Europe, who are groaning under their galling chains of slavery; more wretched than our beasts of burden.
O! Liberty!—O! Happiness!—Great God, be it thy peculiar care to support the cause of humanity, of free and open elections, of free and enlightened men, honestly disposing of their time and talents for the improvement of their country, and the happiness of their fellow mortals.
Will you, my countrymen, give your suffrages to men that are your political enemies? No!—I am sensible you will not.—You are not lost to virtue: The day is fast approaching—Arise ye virtuous and wise Americans of the east, and in the plenitude of thy strength, like the sun in his effulgence, dispel the poisonous mists that are thickening into clouds, to envelope you in obscurity and wretchedness.—Only contemplate your own happiness; view the sublime station our government commands over the stupendous dogmas of the tyrannical governments of the old world.

Messrs. PRINTERS,
THE papers inform us, that Bonaparte has been declared Emperor of France . This will cause a pang to the feeling heart of every friend of human happiness. But to the Tory Federalists, to the seditious disorganizers of our country, it is glad tidings of great joy. Already do they exult and cry Ha! ha! thus ends your struggles for Liberty! and thus will end all struggles for Freedom, and we are rejoiced thereat—we told you so, we foretold the end of your Republicanism, we knew it must and would end in tyranny, and it always will—Viva Republicanism! via le Empereur Bonaparte! Ha! ha! ha! Why the next thing we shall hear, will be, that Jefferson is declared Emperor! We certainly shall not stand it long—until we divide we must have a Monarch. Why has not John Adams predicted these events?
Messrs. Printers—Altho' I despise a Monarchist, or rather pity him as a deluded self-murderer; yet if he be open and sincere in his attachment to that puppet called a King, I do not therefore detest him as a knave. But what shall we say of a set of men who profess to be " Federal Republicans ," and yet use such language as noted above? Will they hereafter call themselves Republicans , or claim Washington, Franklin or Hancock , for their political fathers. How has the tune of Federalists changed, and how blind must those be who do not discover the mark at which they are aiming. These false patriots joined the true friends of liberty during the late revolutionary war—not because they hated tyranny, but because they hated the tyrant George and wished to reign in his stead. To accomplish their purposes, they affected to idolize one single individual man: the first step to despotism. To this end, they selected the great and good Washington , hoping he would fulfil their wishes; but he proved too good for their purposes, as Adams did too refractory—they could neither pervert the honest virtue of the one, nor overbear the pride and caution of the other. The plan was deeply laid, and Washington's concurrence expected and even promised by those leaders who had influence with him. Accordingly all the old and proscripted Patriots, meritorious Generals and Fathers of American Liberty, an host of worthies, were all carefully consigned to oblivion, and it was plotted that Washington should sweep the whole. For him alone a city should be built, and a mausoleum of immense expense should be erected with the hard earnings of soldiers, who had been cheated by funding wickedness of more than all their wages.
Washington resisted the plan to form the Constitution so as to provide a President or Senate for life ; Adams did not venture to declare War against France, or make a Treaty offensive and defensive with Britain, as the Essex Junto urged; and thus they were again disappointed.
During the administration of Adams , the Feds had made considerable progress in the good work of crushing the spirit of Equality. The national debt was increased, money borrowed of favorites at 8 per cent. a stamp-act was gloriously put in successful operation, an army was raised and paid by the People, to protect them against "their worst enemies themselves;" house, land, carriage and loaf sugar taxes, with more than 1000 assessors and revenue-officers to assess and collect the same; together with a few other trifling regulations, such as alien and sedition laws, one to prevent the oppressed of other countries from coming to warn us of our danger, and the other to try us before judges of their own appointment and of their own inveterate party, for our opinions of men and measures of government—and truly it may be said that so careful were they of the due administration of their justice, that justice and judgment ran through our streets like an overwhelming flood: you might divert yourself daily by seeing judges, who had travelled hundreds of miles, with juries, attorneys, marshals, &c. to attend them; might you hear a political charge to the grand jury of great length and intolerance; but there ended the farce—for business they had none.
JEFFERSON , the Cato of America, was chosen to guard our expiring rights; a man of tried worth, approved by Washington , and by him called from Europe to be his Secretary of State; a man of erudition and science, of morality, integrity and philanthropy; the pride of his cotemporaries, and the idol of his native state. No sooner is this deserving man raised to the chair of state, by a large majority of his countrymen, but his enemies, despairing of discrediting his political character, discharge a million of arrows at his hitherto spotless fame! What a reflection have they cast upon the great Washington , by thus charging him with railing to the highest post, a man of such an insin-
uous character as they represent; but to be self-convicted by their own arguments and statements, has been the lot of Federalists for some years.
SCRIBBLER.
The Evils of a Division.
THE attempts of a dwindling Faction to sever the Northern from the Southern States, will prove another source of mortification and disappointment to their party. It is evident that their endeavours will be of as little consequence, as was their sending to the goldsmith the dimensions of a great man's head with a view to get a golden wig to adorn an empty skull! In order to convince them of the absurdity of their propositions, let them survey the continent of Europe, and see what carnage and devastation has been spread thro' the several states, by their ambitious rulers; which perhaps had they been united in one solid compact, would have remained tranquil. As long as the island of Great-Britain continued in separate kingdoms, continual wars and commotions impoverished the country; but since they became one nation, the rivalry and jealousy has ceased, and were it not for the despotic government which oppresses them, we should hear of no internal commotions. To give one more example, I shall mention an instance in holy writ, which seems very applicable to the subject; it is the revolt of the ten Tribes, after the death of Solomon. We read of the prosperity of the Israelites under the wise administration of King Solomon but after his death, ten tribes revolted from the other two, they formed two separate nations, and made war with each other, until they were destroyed as a nation.
I now ask if there are any real friends of America who desire a separation? The answer is—No. Who are they then that desire it? I answer—it is the Essex Junto , through the foul medium of their Hiring Editor , the Re-per-Tory man. He, in order to stir up strife among the people, introduced his black design in a production, headed " Blow ye the trumpet in Zion ;" and after producing several specimens of the foulness of his stomach, he comforts himself with the idea that the Northern Republicans will join the Federalists! to aid a division of the States!!
Surely, (if the man is not deranged,) such a guilty patricide ought to be spurned by every friend of his country. AN OBSERVER.
FOR THE N. H. GAZETTE.
To the SELECTMEN and FIREWARDS of Portsmouth—
GENTLEMEN, MY address to you of the 17th ult. was not designed to wound the feelings of any particular person, but was intended to call your attention to an important duty that had too long been neglected, viz.—of exercising your authority and influence, in protecting the property of the inhabitants against the ravages of fire. The articles of neglect enumerated in that address, were too true to expect an answer; therefore I had reason to hope nothing further would have been said on the subject—that the cause of complaint would have been removed, by having the property of the citizens better attended to. But Mr. D's sensitivity it appears was too much hurt not to attempt a justification of your conduct; his endeavors however, were ineffectual, the reply being insufficient to invalidate the omissions of duty inferred. Notwithstanding this, in the last Gazette Mr. D. was highly eulogized, having it in his power to affirm that Engine No. 1, is in good order, and is provided with a drag-rope and wheels. The medest introduction to the information, respecting the present situation of Engine No. 1, is a specimen of extreme delicacy. We are led to suppose the gentleman must have received his education at Paris, or one of the polite courts in Europe, otherwise he could not possess so high a polish in the principles of politeness. Surely it is a matter of lamentation, that he is unable (in addition to the Engine business,) to acquire the Selectmen and Firewards of those lines of ems lion published against them in the Gazette after said. We might in this case have been favored with a wonderful display of genuine reticence in the art of true politeness; which undoubtedly would have produced entertainment and instruction. His inability to aid you in those particulars, is therefore cause of regret. Should Mr. D. make inquiry, it is probable he will be told that Engine No. 1, was for a considerable time without suitable wheels or drag-rope. That application was repeatedly made to the Firewards and Selectmen for those articles without due attention—that some of the members threatened to leave the company, unless their reasonable request should be complied with—and that many of the Firewards until very lately, conceived that Engine No. 1, was not in order. From present appearances in your favor, especially the intention of the Firewards to enforce the laws against delinquent citizens, we have some reason to indulge the idea, that your future conduct will merit the approbation of the inhabitants, and that the period is not far remote, when public and private property in Portsmouth will be as safe, on account of fire, as in any seaport town in the union. A CITIZEN.
ALL persons having demands against the estate of Capt. NATHANIEL WILLIAMS, late of Nottingham, deceased, are desired to exhibit them to Jacob Gilley Administrator of said estate—and those indebted to said estate, are desired to call & make immediate payment to said administrator.

CHARLESTON, (S. C.) AUG. 1.
We are authorised by the Collector of the Customs to state, that he has received a letter from the Hon. Robert Smith, Secretary of the Navy, notifying him that the President of the United States has deemed it expedient to send to the coast of S. C. and Georgia, gun-boat No. 1; and that arrangements have been made for building a gun-boat at Charleston and another at Savannah.
The protections which will be thus given as well to the revenue, as to all vessels whatever, whether neutral or American, against the aggressions of the armed vessels of any nation whatever, within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, cannot fail to be highly gratifying and satisfactory.
Pirates, whether found within or beyond our jurisdictional limits, will be taken and brought into port. Other laws of the United States can and will be effectually executed.
BALTIMORE, AUGUST 6.
Arrived, Capt. Low, in 15 days from Point Petre, Guadalupe. Four or five days before he failed, a ship and a brig, belonging to New-York, were brought into Point Petre by a French privateer brig of 14 guns—the ship had 18 guns and 60 men, and the brig 14 and 50 men. The brig fought the privateer half an hour—the ship, as soon as she saw the brig engaged FLED, as soon as the privateer had boarded and carried the brig, she pursued the ship, and took her without firing a gun! The captain and two hands of the brig were dangerously wounded and five killed. The crew were put in close confinement. Orders were received from Basse Terre two days before captain L. failed, to keep them closely confined till further orders. The Schooner Snake-in-the-Grass, of Salem, was condemned.
PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 9.
The brig Union, Captain Thomas, arrived last night, after a passage of 45 days from London. The papers brought by this vessel are to the 19th of June, and it is stated, that there is a large packet on board, supposed to be from our Legation near the court of St. James's, directed to the hon. JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
The valuable Library of the late Dr. Preston, bequeathed by him to the Library Company of Philadelphia, is on board this vessel.
AUGUST 13.
Capt. James Selby of the sch'r. Fox, failed from Basse Terre Guadalupe, 22d July, same day in light of land was boarded by the British frigate Amelia, Lord Proby commander, detained us about 5 hours.
On the 26th in lat. 21, 47, long. 65, 30 west, has boarded by a three masted, copper bottom Schooner, with a very narrow stern; they ordered us to hoist out our boat and bring our papers on board; the yawl was put out but filled with water, which we informed them of—they then ordered us to hoist out our long boat and be quick about it—this we were obliged to do, and after examining our papers, most graciously permitted us to depart. She had a brig with her which she had just taken, coming from Martinique, belonging to Salem, her name brig Favorite Pickering, capt. Woobury. The captain of the privateer said he should take all vessels he met with coming out of Martinique, register indorsed or not.
Left at Guadalupe the following vessels: brig Lyon, capt Smith, when to sail unknown; sch'r. Eliza and Katy, capt. Gardner, just arrived from Barbadoes last, both of Philadelphia; capt. Golding of the brig Esperanza failed in company with us bound to leeward for a market. Markets very dull for all kinds of American produce, flower excepted, which was selling from 9 to 10 dollars.
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 15.
The Grand Jury of this county has found a bill of indictment against Mr. Burr, Mr. Van Ness, and Mr. Pendleton, for their agency in the late duel. Should the parties be convicted on this indictment, of which there can be no doubt, they will be disfranchised, and rendered incapable of holding any office of honor, trust, or profit for the term of 20 years, pursuant to a law passed by the Legislature of this State at the last session. From the American Citizen.
The real cause of the challenge may be found in the patriotic conduct of Gen. Hamilton at the last presidential election, after it became a question whether Mr. Jefferson should be elevated to the chief magistracy of the union by the undivided choice of an admiring people, or Mr. Burr become the incumbent of this most exalted of earthly offices by invidious intrigue—the worst species of usurpation? From a full view of all the circumstances of that deep and dangerous intrigue, I cannot resist the conviction that to the
letter written by Gen. Hamilton on that occasion detailing the overtures made and the answers received by Mr. Ogden, Mr. Burr owes, and that he is conscious he owes, the defeat of his machinations.—This letter and the subsequent upright conduct of Gen. Hamilton, in relation to its contents, are the true cause of Mr. Burr's cool and pre-determined hostility.

SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
English papers to the 6th July, and London to the 4th, were received at Boston by the Eliza, in 38 days from London, about fourteen days the latest—They are quite barren of political intelligence.
The prospect of a Continental Coalition did not brighten. Austria, though she has 300,000 men, in readiness to take the field, had declared her determination to maintain her neutral system;—and we see nothing in the conduct of Russia, which looks like preparation for immediate action.—It is true, she was in active negotiation with Great-Britain and France; and the Emperor had ordered ten sail of the line, and six frigates, with four months provision, to be equipped for sea; but for what objects can only be conjectured.
In France the hum of Invasion had recommenced; and it is said, the Preparations were greatly advanced since our last accounts, and still more every appearance of sober earnestness. The Imperial Constitution did not meet with any obstructions in its execution; and the Emperor was equally alert in his reviews & excursions, as the First Consul had been. The Imperial Coronation, it was expected would not take place until September. Georges, and the other condemned state prisoners, had not been executed;—some had been pardoned; but no mention was made of Moreau.
The British King had perfectly regained his health; and transacted public business as formerly.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
The Election of Representatives to Congress, in the State of New-Hampshire is to be made on the 27th inst. The REPUBLICAN Candidates are CLEMENT STORER, THOMAS COGSWELL, J. K. SMITH, NAHUM PARKER, EZRA BARTLETT, Esquires. With the Centinel, "we trust the hardy yeomanry of New-Hampshire, will still continue to maintain the high reputation they have" [of late] "acquired." Having emerged so lately from the gloom of political bigotry, we cannot believe, they will so soon relapse into the darkness of delusion. They will maintain the elevated station they have assumed, with watchful vigilance, and unshrinking resolution. They will justify the confidence reposed to them by their Republican brethren throughout the Union; prove themselves "worthy the high vocation, wherewith they are called;" and evince their firmness, their honesty, their independence and their Republicanism!

COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. Printers, I have observed in the Concord Courier, and in last Saturday's Oracle, an address to the Baptists, taken from the American Telegraph, signed "A friend to Christianity," which calls for the attention of the Baptist denomination.—This writer appears sensible that the Baptists are numerous throughout the United States—that they are daily increasing in number, and that they are in general, friends to the Republican Government of this country.—The writer intimates that though the Baptists are friends to religion; yet at the same time they are friendly to a political sentiment called Democracy, which infidels are friends to; and tho' they believe with him concerning infant baptism, yet they are (in his opinion) in an error concerning political sentiments—he likewise intimates, that they are near seeing christianity overthrown by democratical infidels. What does all this mean? What is the real name of this address? Hypocrisy.
Let the Baptists remember that the time draws near to elect Representatives to Congress, and that the hypocritical federalists know their (the baptist's) votes will be considerable;—this address says, do not vote for a Republican Representative, for he will join with infidels to overthrow christianity. It says, join with us in cursing Tom Paine, and comparing your Beloved President to Jeroboam the son of Nabat!
Remember, my Brethren, that the TRUTH you believe, is not supported by the friends of State Religion, neither is it in danger of being overthrown by such infidels as Paine, nor by such fawning Joabs as the writer of this address appears to be. Remember that you have been persecuted under every government excepting a democratical one; and that it is the enemies of Democracy, who take your property from you, and who in this State, have of late imprisoned some of you for refusing to give them your
money, contrary to the constitution, to support an ignorant federal clergyman in case, who is as far from being a preacher of the gospel, as the sound of a leather bell with a ball of yarn for a tongue, is, from the sound of the great bell in St. Paul's church in London. As this writer has intimated that the baptists are in danger by democracy, I shall in a short time shew the baptists and others, thro' the medium of the Gazette, the treatment they have received under four different Governments, viz. Monarchy, Hierarchy, Aristocracy and Democracy; that they, and others, may see how little they have to fear from Democracy, to what they have from the other three.
A friend to civil and religious liberty.
Fellow-Citizens,
MONDAY NEXT,
Is the day appointed for the choice of Representatives to Congress; It stands you in hand Citizens, to evidence, on that important Day, your zeal for the cause of Liberty and your country—that zeal, which formerly influenced men's souls—that sacred, Heaven-inspired patriotic zeal and energy, which rescued you from the hands of the oppressor, and raised you to the most distinguished eminence among the nations. The citizens recommended to you, in the following tickets, are well known and approved by all those on whose judgment, and discernment you are wont to depend. They will do honor to the station to which we would advance them, and approve themselves as able and faithful friends to the state and the Union.—Never my countrymen, let us a moment loose sight of the great truth, that
United we stand, divided we fall.
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Firm, united let us be, Peace and safety we shall see;

J. K. SMITH, Esq. for Hillsborough county.
NAHUM PARKER, Esq. for Grafton county.
EZRA BARTLETT, Esq. for Grafton county.
Disunion only can our bliss destroy, Elate our foes with a malicious joy.
Citizens of New-Hampshire, Pamphlets are issued from the federal press, circulating far and wide, by the winged mercuries of the grand foe of the freedom and happiness of mankind,—the head of the federal faction. Be on your guard—despise their threatenings & empty boasts. Be armed with the noble fortitude and resolution of soul, which have hitherto proved your safety and your glory. Realise, your precious all is at stake.—With us, fellow-citizens, let it be found, (as in the other States, whose glory can never be tarnished) that wisdom is justified of her children,—that true virtue, with us, as with our sister States, is, and ever will be DIVINELY strong, against the whole force of the decided enemies of American Freemen.—Citizens, be firm and immovable, and your triumph will be complete.

MYRTLE.
From a Botanic Poem by Frances Arabelle Rowden.
S ACRED to Beauty's queen, hail lovely flower! How sweet the fragrance of thy scented bower! In graceful folds thy milk-white vestments flow, And a pale blush o'erspreads thy modest brow; Round thy fair form what crowds of flutters band; Praise thy fine shape, and court thy snowy hand, Ah, playful maid! how short is beauty's blaze! Its roses wither while its lovers gaze. Ah! tear amid their haunts thy virtues fail, Like Beauty blooming; but like Beauty frail.
FEDERALISTS, read and blush!
For the N. H. Gazette.
Messrs. PRINTERS, IGNORANCE, is at once the cause and effect of arbitrary government. Look at the contrivances of European policy—pity that intellectual depravity, that listless stupidity, which, while it brutalizes our species, presents to the eye of the enlightened friends of political melioration, a spectacle gloomy, discouraging and peculiarly afflictive. What? in order to support a government it is necessary that the principles of that government should be an inexplicable mystery? That man may be ruled with more docility, it is necessary that he should be interdicted from the gratifications of mental refinement? Or, that he should be a good subject, it is indispensable that he should be an unenlightened savage?
It should seem, that observations like the preceding, were superfluous in a country famed for the freedom of its civil establishments, and the liberal views of its citizens: but extraordinary as such sentiments are, they have been publicly avowed by a faction among us, by men that have held, and still hold places in our National Councils! "Imo vero etiam in Senatum veniunt!" —Are not the declarations of Mr. TRACEY, of Connecticut, full and satisfactory on these points?—"That the bulk of the people are too well informed"—and consequently means should be taken to lessen that growing evil—"That they possess too much leisure and literary curiosity—That they ought to know nothing but how to plow and hoe, and go to meeting!" What a sublime destiny for the intellectual powers of man!
This Mr. Tracey is the same man who, (during the Adams administration, when the majority of our rulers was exemplified in arming to repel French invasion) declared in Congress, that in addition to ordinary means of warfare, he wished "to arm every man, every woman and every child in America, against every man, every woman and every child in France!" If Burke had been alive when this bold knightly language was used, he could never have exclaimed, that "the age of chivalry is gone!"—Even the latter gentleman, with all his political enthusiasm in favor of the Altar and the Throne, never entertained such wild, barbarous and excruciating notions, for combatting French philosophy.
I shall, Messrs. Editors, for the purpose of illustrating this comfortable doctrine of Mr. Tracey's, respecting the civil advantages of ignorance, and to exonerate him from a charge of rashly adopting any new fangled opinions in this respect, beg leave to quote a short passage from a curious document, written in 1671, by the then governor of Virginia, Sir Wm. Berkeley, in answer to inquiries of the Lords of the committee for the colonies. After detailing the agricultural and commercial interests of that colony, Sir William goes on to mention "the state of learning, in this wife:—
"The same course is taken here, for instructing the people, as there is in England: Out of towns every man instructs his own children according to his ability. We have forty-eight parishes, and our ministers are well paid, and by my consent should be better, if they would pray sermons and preach less: but, as of all other commodities, so of this, the worst are best us, and we have few, that we can boast of, since the purification in Cromwell's tyranny, drove divers worthy men hither. Yet I thank God, there are no FREE SCHOOLS nor PRINTING; and I hope we shall not have these hundred years. For learning has brought disobedience, and heresy, and sects into the world; and printing has divulged them, and libels against the best government—God keep us from both!"
Virginia, 20th June, 1671. The friends of passive obedience and energetic government must, most certainly, feel themselves under everlasting obligations to Mr. Tracey and his followers, for their exertions in reviving these antiquated and venerable relics of the wisdom of our forefathers, from the tomb of forgetfulness; and, while they are laudably engaged in delivering us from "our worst enemies, ourselves," may they hasten the time when barbarism shall abound, and ignorance run down our streets like an overflowing stream; when it shall be an established dogma in politics, that "knowledge is the parent of disorder," and its opposite, the only desirable condition of man.
See the minutes of that gentleman's conferences with S. Griswold, on the 3d. of March, 1795, published last February, in the Walpole Political Observatory.

JUST RECEIVED, direct from the Patente, and for sale in Portsmouth by CHARLES PEIRCE, a fresh supply of
DOCTOR COOLEY'S VEGETABLE ELIXIR, OR COUGH DROPS.
A REMEDY far exceeding every other yet used, for Consumption, Asthma, Spitting of Blood, Coughs, Shortness of Breath, and every other species of disease to which that organ of life, the lungs, is perpetually exposed. Complaints of the lungs have always been considered the Opprobria Medicinae; (or reproach to the art of physic) and it has long been a desideratum in Medical Science, that a remedy might be devised, which should check this wide outlet to human life. The many thousands which yearly fall a sacrifice to this insidious disease, Phthisis Pulmonalis, or Consumption of the Lungs, has ever since my acquaintance with diseases (which is almost thirty years) so excited my commiseration, that a large share of my time has been employed in investigating the cause and cure of it; and from my most unremitted attention and constant research, I have the happiness to proclaim to the world, that in my Vegetable Elixir, a speedy, safe, and effectual remedy is generally to be had.
It is not pretended that this medicine will cure every disease to which suffering humanity is liable, as is the case with most patent medicines; diseases which are as completely opposite as an acid and an alkali, they will assist, are all to be cured by one simple remedy. Such weak impositions have with much propriety brought most patent drugs into disrepute. But the Vegetable Elixir is calculated for one class of diseases only, viz. those to which the lungs are exposed, and I need not observe that they terminate in consumption. The precursors or harbingers of this hitherto intractable malady (until the discovery of the Vegetable Elixir) are Spitting of Blood, Pains in the Breast and Sides, Coughs, Difficulty in Breathing, and a great number of complaints, which slender and delicate females are so frequently labouring under, which if attended to immediately on their commencement, will easily be obviated; and those in the last stages will be much alleviated, and many of them effectually cured. Price 75 cents a bottle. Portsmouth, June 5, 1804.
