Interesting Correspondence.
BOSTON, Nov. 30th, 1802.
SIR,
I HAVE frequently with pleasure reflected on your services to my native, and your adopted country. Your Common Sense, and your Crisis unquestionably awakened the public mind, and led the people loudly to call for a declaration of our national independence. I therefore esteemed you as a warm friend to the liberty, and lasting welfare of the human race. But when I heard, that you had turned your mind to a defence of infidelity, I felt myself much astonished and more grieved, that you had attempted a measure so injurious to the feelings, and so repugnant to the true interest of so great a part of the citizens of the United States. The people of New-England, if you will allow me to use a Scripture phrase, are fast returning to their first love. Will you excite among them the spirit of angry controversy, at a time, when they are hastening to unity and peace? I am told that some of our newspapers have announced your intention to publish an additional pamphlet upon the principles of your Age of Reason. Do you think, that your pen, or the pen of any other man can enchain the mass of our citizens, or have you hopes of converting a few of them to assist you in so bad a cause? We ought to think ourselves happy in the enjoyment of opinion without the danger of persecution by civil or ecclesiastical law.
Our friend, the present President of the United States, has been calumniated for his liberal sentiments by men, who have attributed that liberality to a latent design to promote the cause of infidelity. This, and all other calumnies have been made without a shadow of proof. Neither religion, nor liberty can long subsist in the tumult of altercation, and amidst the noise and violence of faction.
Felix qui cautus. Adieu.
SAMUEL ADAMS.
Mr. THOMAS PAINE.
To SAMUEL ADAMS,
My dear and venerable friend,
I received with great pleasure your friendly and affectionate letter Nov. 30th, and I thank you also for the frankness of it. Between men in the pursuit of truth, and whose object is the happiness of man both here and hereafter, there ought to be no reserve. Even error has a claim to indulgence, if not to respect, when it is believed to be truth. I am obliged to you for your affectionate remembrance of what you stile my services in awakening the public mind to a declaration of independence, and supporting it after it was declared. I also, like you, have often looked back on those times, and have thought, that if independence had not been declared at the time it was, the public mind could not have been brought up to it afterwards. It will immediately occur to you, who were so intimately acquainted with the situation of things at that time, that I allude to the black times of seventy six ; for though I know, and you my friend also know, they were no other than the natural consequences of the military blunders of that campaign, the country might have viewed them as proceeding from a natural inability to support its cause against the enemy, and have sunk under the despondency of that misconceived idea. This was the impression against which it was necessary the country should be strongly animated.
I now come to the second part of your letter, on which I shall be as frank with you as you are with me. "But (say you) when I heard you had turned your mind to a defence of infidelity. I felt myself much astonished, &c." What, my good friend, do you call believing in God infidelity ? for that is the great point mentioned in the Age of Reason against all divided beliefs and allegorical divinites. The bishop of Llandaff, (Doctor Watson) not only acknowledges this, but pays me some compliments upon it, in his answer to the second part of that work. "There is (says he) a philosophical sublimity in some of your ideas when speaking of the Creator of the Universe."
What then (my much esteemed friend for I do not respect you the less because we differ, and that perhaps not much, in religious sentiments) what I ask, is this thing called infidelity ? If we go back to your ancestors and mine, three or four hundred years ago, for we must have had fathers and grandfathers or we should not be here, we shall find them praying to saints and virgins, and believing in purgatory and transubstantiation, and therefore all of us are infidels according to our forefathers belief. If we go back to times more ancient, we shall again be infidels according to the belief of some other forefathers.
The case, my friend, is, that the world has been over-run with fable and creeds of human invention, with tectaries of whole nations, against other nations, and tectaries of those tectaries in each of them against each other. Every sectary except the quakers, has been a persecutor. Those who fled from persecution persecuted in their turn, and it is this confusion of creeds that has filled the world with persecution and deluged it with blood. Even the depredations on your commerce by the Barbary powers, sprang from the cruelties of the church against those powers. It was a war of creed against creed, each boasting of God for its author, and reviling each other with the name of infidel. If I do not believe as you
believe, it proves that you do not believe as I believe, and this is all that it proves.
There is however one point of union wherein all religious meet, and that is in the first article of every man's creed and of every nation's creed, that has any creed at all. I believe in God . Those who rest here, and there are millions who do, cannot be wrong as far as their creed goes. Those who choose to go further may be wrong, for it is impossible that all can be right, since there is so much contradiction among them. The first, therefore are in my opinion on the safest side.
I presume you are so far acquainted with ecclesiastical history as to know, and the bishop who has answered me has been obliged to acknowledge the fact, that the books that compose the new testament were voted by yeas and nays to be the word of God, as you now vote a law, by the popish councils of Nice and Laodocia, about 1450 years ago. With respect to the fact there is no dispute, neither do I mention it for the sake of controversy.—This vote may appear authority enough to some, and not authority enough to others. It is proper however that every body should know the fact.
With respect to the Age of Reason , which you so much condemn, and that I believe without having read it, for you say only that you heard of it, I will inform you of a circumstance because you cannot know it by other means.
I have said in the first page of the first part of that work, that it had long been my intention to publish my thoughts upon religion, but that I had reserved it to a later time of life. I have now to inform you why I wrote it and published it at the time I did.
In the first place, I saw my life in continual danger. My friends were falling as fast as the guillotine could cut their heads off, and as I every day expected the same fate, I resolved to begin my work. I appeared to myself to be on my death bed, for death was on every side of me, and I had no time to lose. This accounts for my writing at the time I did, and so nicely did the time and intention meet, that I had not finished the first part of the work more than six hours before I was arrested and taken to prison. Joel Barlow was with me, and knows the fact.
In the second place, the people of France were running headlong into Atheism, and I had the work translated and published in their own language, to stop them in that career, and fix them to the first article (as I have before said) of every man's creed, who have any creed at all, I believe in God . I endangered my own life, in the first place, by opposing in the convention the execution of the king, and labouring to shew they were trying the monarch, and not the man, and that the crimes imputed to him were the crimes of the monarchical system; and endangered it a second time by opposing atheism, and yet some of your priests, for I do not believe that all are per-verse, cry out, in the war hoop of monarchical priest craft, What an infidel! What a wicked man is Thomas Paine! They might as well add, that he believes in God, and is against shedding blood.
But all this war hoop of the pulpit has some concealed object. Religion is not the cause, but is the stalking horse. They put it forward to conceal themselves behind it. It is not a secret that there has been a party composed of the leaders of the federalists, for I do not include all federalists, with their leaders, who have been working by various means for several years past, to overturn the federal constitution established on the representative system, and place government on the new world on the corrupt system of the old. To accomplish this a large standing army was necessary, and as a pretence for such an army, the danger of a foreign invasion must be bellowed forth, from the pulpit, from the press, and by their public orators.
I am not of a disposition inclined to suspicion. It is in its nature a mean and cowardly passion, and upon the whole, even admitting error into the case, it is better, I am sure it is more generous, to be wrong on the side of confidence, than on the side of suspicion. But I know as a fact that the English government distributes annually fifteen hundred pounds sterling among the Presbyterian ministers in England, and one hundred among those of Ireland, and when I hear of the strange discourses of some of your ministers and professors of colleges, I cannot as the quakers say, find freedom in my mind to acquit them. The anti-revolutionary doctrines invite suspicion even against one's will, and in spite of one's charity to believe well of them.
As you have given me one scripture phrase I will give you another for those ministers. It is said in Exodus, chapter 23, verse 28, "Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people." But those ministers, such I mean as Dr. Emmons, curse ruler and people both, for the majority are, politically, the people, and it is those who have chosen the ruler whom they curse. As to the first part of the verse, that of not reviling the gods, it makes no part of my scripture. I have but one God.
Since I began this letter, for I write it by piece meals, as I have leisure, I have seen the four letters that passed between you and John Adams. In your first letter you say, "let divines and philosophers, statesmen and patriots, unite their endeavors to renovate the age by inculcating in the minds of youth the fear and love of the Deity, and universal philanthropy." Why my dear
friend, this is exactly my religion, and is the whole of it. That you may have an idea that the Age of Reason (for I believe you have not read it) inculcates this reverential fear and love of the Deity, I will give you a paragraph from it:
"Do we want to contemplate his power? We see it in the immensity of the creation. Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? We see it in the unshakable order by which the incomprehensible whole is governed. Do we want to contemplate his munificence? We see it in the abundance with which he fills the earth. Do we want to contemplate his mercy? We see it in his not withholding that abundance even from the unthankful."
As I am fully with you in your first part, that respecting the deity, so am I in your second, that of universal philanthropy ; by which I do not mean merely the sentimental benevolence of wishing well, but the practical benevolence of doing good. We cannot serve the Deity in the manner we serve those who cannot do without that service. He needs no service from us. We can add nothing to eternity. But it is in our power to render a service acceptable to him, and that is not by praying, but by endeavouring to make his creatures happy. A man does not serve God when he prays, for it is himself he is trying to serve, and as to hiring or paying men to pray, as if the Deity needed instruction, it is in my opinion an abomination. One good School Master is of more use and of more value than a load of such persons as Dr. Emmons and some others.
You, my dear and much respected friend are now far in the vale of years; I have yet, I believe, some years in store; for I have a good state of health and a happy mind, and I take care of both, by nourishing the first with temperance and the latter with abundance.
This, I believe, you will allow to be the true philosophy of life. You will see by my third letter to the citizens of the United States, that I have been exposed to, and preserved through, many dangers, but instead of buffeting the Deity with prayers as if I distrusted him or must dictate to him, I reposed myself on his protection; and you, my friend, will find, even in your last moments, more consolation in the silence of resignation than in the murmuring with prayer.
In every thing which you say in your second letter to John Adams respecting our rights as men and citizens in this world I am perfectly with you. On other points we have to answer to our creator and not to each other. The key of heaven is not in the keeping of any sect, nor ought the road to it to be obstructed by any. Our relation to each other in this world is as men, and the man who is a friend to man and to his rights, let his religious opinions be what they may, is a good citizen, to whom I can give as I ought to do, & as every other ought, the right hand of fellowship, and to none with more hearty good will, my dear friend, than to you.
THOMAS PAINE.
Federal City, Jan. 1, 1803.
From the American Mercury.
A REPUBLICAN FESTIVAL.
IN honor of the election and administration of President JEFFERSON, will be celebrated at New-Haven, on Wednesday, the 9th of March next.
The day will be opened with discharges from the Artillery.
At 11 o'clock will be formed a procession of all, who rejoice in the subject of the Festival. An Oration by PIERPONT EDWARDS, Esq., with other republican performances; will compose the exercise within the house. Select vocal and instrumental Music has been engaged.
A public dinner will be provided, and there will be a Dancing Assembly in the evening.
Private houses are engaged for all the Ladies who may honor the occasion with their company.
A general attendance is respectfully invited.
On that day we will rejoice,
Because the election of President JEFFERSON put an end to the aristocratic influence of the advocates of a Funding System and a British Treaty, and scattered the combined forces of the enemies of our revolution. We will rejoice that a Standing Army, an expensive Navy, an odious Excise and a useless Judiciary are no more; that our houses, lands, carriages, Rills, sales at auction, and domestic industry, are rescued from the grasp of an all devouring Treasury; that Presidential patronage has been diminished by the dismissal of many hundreds of officers; that economy has succeeded to systematic profusion, humanity to a thirst for national glory, and peace to perpetual alarms of foreign danger.
We will rejoice,
That we are redeemed from a hole of Nobles, guarded by a Superior; that Federalism at length wears its own character in its front, and deals out its falsehoods without the imposing aids of probability or power, and that in opposition to all its former professions, it now consists of hostility against the President, the heads of departments, the Congress and its measures, the decided voice of more than three fourths of our people and the Union of the States. We will rejoice that the spirit of the revolution now animates fourteen of the states, and that the same spirit is advancing in the other states as fast as the measures of the past and present administra-

tion are known and compared: and that in this State where hosts of our citizens are excluded from the rank of freemen, our electoral votes have risen rapidly from 60 to 4680, and that the approaching election promises a powerful addition.
We will rejoice that the measures adopted by our State legislatures to abridge the right of suffrage and to retain in their seats, men whose sole recommendation is their hatred to republicanism, have met a reception wholly opposite to their expectations; that the season is arriving, when the industrious poor of the State shall be made free, and when through their aid we shall gain a name and a legitimate existence in a republican nation.
Twenty years have elapsed since we rejoiced in the distinguished victory, which terminated in glory a tedious, distressing, and expensive war. Since that time the spirit of the revolution has had to contend against hosts of its privileged enemies armed with power; against plans of Monarchy in Convention and in Senate; against an unprecedented instance of national injustice and ingratitude towards its faithful defenders; against the insinuating projects of the infatuated leaders of soldier's earnings; against repeated attempts to re-unite us to the enemy of nations; against the extravagance and duplicity of those tinseled missionaries, whom we send abroad to teach the nations of the earth to despise us; against foreign gold and intrigue; against the parade of drawing rooms, the mean apishness of foreign tyrants, the adulation of a court and the corruption of useless officers; against the waste of public treasure for public ruin; against navies and armies; against an enormous and accumulating debt, and against the awful combination of military despotism, in the person of a foreigner, with foreign principles, in the hearts of Americans. Republicanism had to contend, in its infancy with more enemies than the manhood of monarchy could overpower. It has triumphed gloriously. It has overthrown the horse and its rider, and we will rejoice in its energies.
The four years which preceded the election of President Jefferson, were like the darkness which precedes the morning. They formed a reign of terror, proscription and violence, and the very name of republican was odious to every man in power. In the dark train of public measures was a provision to reduce to the condition a Standing Army 80,000 militia; to import the instruments of death; to increase the impost on articles of first necessity; to build and man ships of war; and millions of dollars were spent on these wild projects as freely as if the men in power had known the earning of money. Envoys were sent abroad at vast expense in order to lay the foundation of dissensions at home, and by magic of alphabet to conjure up the necessity of a standing army. The President was empowered to build or procure frigates at any price; to borrow money at 8 per cent; more millions of money were appropriated, kingly power given to the President; aliens subjected to his will; jails made the portion of those seditious subjects, who dared to question his supremacy; the odious Stamp Act was passed; our houses and lands appraised and our windows counted; our streets infested with the uniformed ruffians of creation embodied to give iron force to the reign of order; and through all these measures that miracle of human invention the British government, "dragging its slow length along" in the decessal form of a "defence of the American Constitution."
We will never forget that all these terrific measures were to humble the friends of the revolution; nor will we forget that its enemies rejoiced in aided these measures; but that all their arts to irritate foreign nations were unsuccessful. We will remember that the object was to raise up privileged orders, to substitute stars and ribbons in place of merit, and to overwhelm in the magnitude of public debt the baseness of its origin and all hope of its extinction. We will remember that from the President to the humblest officer, contempt for republican government was a conspicuous characteristic of political merit, and that some of our own neighbors were first among the foremost to dispose of the labors of a betrayed soldiery, and to sacrifice to a succession of jobs the rights of millions, and to take to themselves the honors and profits, resulting from an ingenious uniformity of political wrong. We rejoice that of the talents, integrity, wisdom, and consistency of such men no proof remained, but their own solitary testimony, in opposition to record evidence of all their measures and to the conclusive decision of all the rest of the union. We rejoice that from the mediated destruction of our rights we were redeemed by the exertions of our Southern brethren. In the midst of imaginary triumphs our enemies were overwhelmed by a sure and sudden destruction, and we will rejoice that the places, which once knew them, will know them no more forever.
We will rejoice that President Jefferson gained his high office by a triumph of principle over faction—that he entered on its duties professing the purest of republican principles; that he offered the olive-branch to his enemies; that he retained most of them in office, till their own conduct convinced the public of their demerits; that he has been himself capable of viewing the whole ground and of administering on principles, far elevated above local prejudices or vindictive animosities; that his measures have confuted the calumny of the enemies of liberty, and that against their falsehoods his character has stood as a rock against the waves; that he has filled the high offices of government with men of unquestionable talents and integrity; that he has been gaining upon the affections of the people; that both houses of Congress second his measures; and that the minorities in those houses are standing monuments of the safety, with which error and even obstinacy may stand, when reason is left free to combat them.
That the present administration has not sacrificed our interests to foreign nations; that it has not controlled men's religious opinions, nor warped to its views the religious professions of any class of men; that it has offered no violence to the altar; that it has not availed itself of sub-plots or Ocean massacres, of sedition acts or false alarms; that it has deliberately advanced in relieving the public burdens; in diffusing a knowledge of its measures, and has reposed itself on the confidence and intelligence of a free people; that it has yielded equal and
exact justice to all men; has cultivated peace commerce and honest friendship with all nations, and has avoided entangling alliances; has preserved the State Governments in all their rights, and the General Government in all its Constitutional vigor; has respected the elective franchise; has honored the militia as our best reliance in peace; has preserved the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; has practised a conspicuous economy; has faithfully complied with every public engagement, and advanced in estimation the national faith; that it has encouraged the industry of our people, and has respected the freedom of religion, the freedom of the press, and the rights of man; that none of the evils with which our enemies threatened the people, under the present administration, have arrived, and that far more blessings have been enjoyed, than were promised or expected.
We will rejoice, In the reduction of public expenditures; in the facilities granted to foreigners settling here, in our State of peace and prosperity, and in the full success of every experiment made on republican principles. We will rejoice that the amount of our external revenue, in the past year, has been 1,280,000 dollars, which is more, by two millions, than has been collected in any one year, from the same source; and more, by 1,800,000 than the whole amount of the external and internal revenue for any year; and that in the past year, the principal of our national debt has been diminished 5 3/4 millions of dollars, and that 4 1/2 millions more are in train for a further reduction.
With such occasions of joy, we will meet to celebrate the festival, and to give our public testimony in favor of a President and administration, whose principles and measures have uniformly presented sure pledges of confidence to republicans, and insuperable arguments against the cavils and misrepresentations of the enemies of our revolution.—Reported in behalf of the managers.

National Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, JAN. 24.
MR. Mitchell presented a memorial from the chamber of commerce of New-York, against the repeal of discriminating duties.
Referred to the committee of the whole to whom the subject was referred.
The memorial, on the motion of Mr. Bayard, was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Mitchell rose to address the house on a subject of a commercial nature. He alluded to the depredations committed upon the commerce of the United States, by French-armed vessels during the late war in Europe. The gentlemen of the house would be hoped, to give their attention, for a few minutes to the numerous memorials received from our merchants during the last session, praying compensations for these losses. Those papers were numerous and respectful, and came from a most valuable portion of our fellow-citizens. Their grievances had not hitherto been redressed, nor even enquired into with the minuteness which it appeared to him to deserve. He hoped an examination would be attempted; and for that purpose he moved the following resolve.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire by what means, the value or amount of property taken from the citizens of the United States by the French during the late war in Europe, can be best ascertained, and the several sorts of captures distinguished and classed, and report their opinion thereon to this House, to the end that indemnification may be made.
Mr. Mitchell then said, that he did not press an instant decision upon it, but wished it to lie a day or two on the table for consideration.
Mr. Randolph, from the com. of ways and means, reported it as their opinion, that no alterations are necessary in the act laying a direct tax.
The report is accompanied by a letter from the chairman of the com. of ways and means to the Secretary of the Treasury, and his answer.—Referred to a com. of the whole on Monday.
The committee to whom was referred a bill from the Senate, and sundry resolutions respecting the erections of Monuments, reported that it would not be expedient at this time to make provision for the erection of any other monuments besides those contemplated by resolutions of the old Congress; and accordingly reported amendments, making provision for the erection of monuments to Generals Warren, Pierce, Nash, and De Calbe, in addition to those directed to be erected in the bill received from the Senate.—Referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday.
Mr. S. Smith from the committee on so much of the President's Message as relates to American seamen left abroad, reported a bill, which was read twice and referred to a com. of the whole on Thursday next.
The House took up the report of the com. of the whole on the report of the select committee, on the alterations necessary to be made in the military establishment. The house concurred in the two first resolutions, and non-concurred in the third.
On agreeing to the report of the committee in their disagreement to the fourth resolution—Mr. Leib expressed himself against concurring.
Mr. Varnum was also against concurring, as it was absolutely necessary that each officer stated in the resolution should have one clerk. The payment for clerkship had heretofore been paid out of the contingent fund. But it was thought best to make provision by law. Mr. Varnum observed that if the House should non-concur, he would then move to add to the resolution the following words—"not exceeding a sum sufficient for the hire of one clerk for each officer."
The question was then taken on concurrence and lost. Ayes 22.—Mr. Varnum then moved his amendment.
Mr. Griswold opposed the amendment, and was for limiting the appropriation to some specific sum, as had hitherto been usual with regard to other executive officers—Mr. Varnum's amendment was lost.
Mr. Leib moved to amend the resolution so that a sum not exceeding in the whole 4,000 dollars, should be allowed for clerk hire.—Carried—Ayes 41—Noes 28.
The resolutions were then referred to a select committee to bring in a bill.
Mr. S. Smith, according to notice, called for the order of the day on the report on discriminating duties.
Mr. Eustis hoped the gentlemen would suspend the call for at least this and the ensuing week.
The question was then taken on a postponement till Monday next and carried by a large majority.
TUESDAY, JAN. 25. Mr. Davis called up his motion laid on the table yesterday; as follows:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of concentrating the several public offices, & other public buildings belonging to the United States in the City of Washington; which was agreed to without debate—Ayes 58.
When a motion was made to appoint the committee consisting of 7 members by ballot, and carried.—Ayes 53.
The ballots being taken, the Speaker appointed Mr. Thomas Morris and Mr. Woods, Tellers.
On declaring the ballots, it appeared that but one member of the committee was elected, viz. Mr. Davis, he only having a majority of all the votes given.
The House then proceeded to a second ballot, according to a standing rule of the House, only a plurality of votes is required on a second ballot.
The ballots being declared, the following additional members of the committee appeared to be appointed, viz.
Messrs. Griswold, Mitchell, Gregg, Condit, Bayard and R. Williams.
The Speaker laid before the House a report of the Secretary of State on the memorial of Tobias Lear.
Referred to a committee of the whole on to-morrow.
The Speaker also laid before the House report from the Post Master General, which was referred to the Post Office committee.
Mr. Helms reported a bill to make provision for persons who have been disabled by wounds in the revolutionary war, which was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 26.
Mr. Jones introduced the following motion with a few prefatory remarks.
Resolved, That the repeal of the discriminating duties on foreign tonnage and merchandise imported in foreign vessels recommended by the committee of commerce and manufactures in their report on that subject, made on the 10th inst. shall not extend to foreign ships or vessels, or the articles imported therein from the colonies or dependencies of any foreign nation, unless the ships and vessels of the United States shall enjoy the same privileges in the navigation and trade between the United States and such colonies or dependencies as are or may be allowed to the ships and vessels of the nation to which such colonies or dependencies belong.
Referred to a committee of the whole to whom was referred the report of the committee of commerce and manufactures on countervailing duties.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of a select committee on so much of the President's message as relates to a warfare with Tripoli, &c.—Mr. Varnum in the chair.
The resolution, with which the report concludes, authorising the procuring four ships of war not exceeding 16 guns each was agreed to without a division; when the committee rose and the house immediately confirmed their report, and ordered a bill to be brought in.
Mr. Hill, from the committee on the memorial from certain inhabitants of Wilmington, (N. C.) made a report, with an accompanying bill.
The report concludes with a resolution that the memorial be referred to the secretary of state, to be laid before the President.
The report was agreed to, and the bill referred to a committee of the whole.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill for the importation of ordnance, arms, &c.

The committee then rose and reported the bill without amendment.
On taking the question on ordering the bill to be engrossed for a third reading, the Yeas and Nays were required, and were Yeas 46—Nays 49.
The refusal to engross is equivalent to a rejection of the bill.
The house went into a committee of the whole.
Mr. Dawson in the chair—on the bill for laying out a new road in the County of Washington.

Messrs. Bayard, S. Smith, and Early spoke.
ported, and Messrs. Randolph, Griswold and Mitchell opposed the motion.
On the question being put, the motion was lost.—Ayes 19—Noes 44.
IN SENATE Jan. 28th, 1803.
Mr. Morris from the committee to whom was referred the memorials of Judges Basset, Benion, Bourne, Griffith, Hitchcock, Key, Magill, Smith, Taylor, Tithman and Wolcott.
REPORTED.
That the petitioners were Judges of certain courts, inferior to the supreme court, constituted by an act of the 13th of February, 1801, and duly commissioned to hold their offices during good behaviour.
That while holding and exercising their offices, an act was passed on the 8th of March last to repeal the said act of the 13th of Feb. 1801, and transfer the duties of the said judges from them to others.
That a question has arisen, whether, by reason of the premises, the said petitioners are deprived of their offices.
That this question depending on the construction of the laws and constitution of the United States, is not properly cognizable by the Senate.
The committee, therefore, conceive it improper either to give reasons, or express opinion; but they consider it as a question of high and serious import, and believe that a speedy investigation and final decision is of great moment to the commonwealth.
Wherefore, they submit the following resolution.
RESOLVED, That the President of the United States be requested to cause an information in the nature of a quo warranto, to be filed by the attorney general against Richard Basset, one of the said petitioners, for the purpose of deciding judicially on their claims.
Read and made the order of the day for Wednesday next.
Auct. SAMUEL A. OTIS, Secretary.

LONDON, DEC. 4.
In Switzerland the Senate has issued a Decree, imposing upon all the Cantons, in proportion to their resources, a war contribution of 900,000 livres (37,500 l.) for the support of the French troops. One of the articles of the decree refers to the Senate the power of exacting extraordinary contributions from those Cantons, Communities or individuals, what that body chooses to call the Insurrection; upon which subject the executive power is directed to make a report within one month. This decree appears to be intended to throw nearly the whole burden of supporting the French troops upon the unfortunate Patriots, under the pretence of imposing a general contribution upon the whole of Switzerland; thus, not content with depriving the brave defenders of their country's cause of their political liberty, and even imprisoning their persons, the oppressors of Switzerland will make them pay for the chains with which they have loaded them. Aloes Reding and Auf der Maur still remain immured in the Castle of Arborg. Deputies from the Cantons are continually setting out for Paris, but the elections are not yet completed.
Lord Whitworth's introduction to the First Consul will take place next Monday, when a consular Review and a grand Levee will be held.
Mr. Merry will probably take his departure from Paris very soon—he is destined to meet M. Otto in America.
From a recent decision, which took place at Breft, it appears, that the French are determined, if we persist in our Navigation Act, to have theirs. By the Navigation Act of England, foreign vessels are not allowed to enter the port of London with any other produce than that of the countries to which they respectively belong. France, it appears, has resolved to adopt the same principle.—An English vessel, bringing a cargo of iron from Petersburg to Breft, has been declared contraband.
The French Minister has notified to the Austrian Government the annexation of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla to France; but the reply of the Emperor is not known. However displeasing the intelligence may be, the Emperor must return a civil answer to the communication.
A Consular Decree directs that all local lists of Emigrants, drawn up in the Colonies, shall be suppressed and considered null and void, and shall not be applied to proprietors, claiming to be put in possession of their property. But they cannot have that property restored to them, unless they prove that they have resided, upon the European territory of the republic since the month of May, 1799, or that they have been erased from the Emigrant list, or that they have been admitted to the benefits of the amnesty pronounced by the Senatus-Consultum of the 6th of Floreal last.
Col. Despard, we find, is not only charged with the capital offence of seducing soldiers from their allegiance, but he is detained under a charge of high treason. A detainer on that charge was yesterday sent to Newgate.
FROM GIBRALTAR.
Capt. Duplex, arrived at New-York from Gibraltar, informs, that on the 19th of December, the old Royal Battery on the top of Gibraltar Rock; on the land side, was set on fire by lightning and burned with great fury till the next day. During the night the flames exhibited an awful & grand appearance; the vessels in port appearing as if illuminated. Capt. D. was informed, that 120 men were employed the whole time in attempting to extinguish the flames, but in vain; the whole battery was destroyed.
Capt. Duplex also informs that the United States frigate Constellation, Capt. Murray, was to sail for the United States in two or three days after he left there. The frigate Adams was going over to Tangiers Bay. The Chesapeake was at Leghorn on the 16th of October. The John Adams failed from Malaga up the Sirengues about the 13th of December. The Tripolitan ship at Gibraltar, had been seized for debt, and dismantled. Capt. D. brought out dispatches for Government.

To the People of New-Hampshire.
FELLOW CITIZENS!
Whenever genuine Republicans are recommended to your notice as the most deserving of your suffrages—a terrible hue and cry is immediately set up by the Tories, and echoed throughout the State by their emissaries—who, are destitute of every good principle, and therefore fit instruments to effect their wicked purposes.
Altho' it is a matter of great notoriety, that Col. John Langdon took an early and decided part in the revolution which separated these States from the dominion of Great Britain—and who, has uniformly conducted himself as the honest man, and firm patriot, amidst the various conflicts which have agitated this country—from the memorable and perilous acquisition in 1774—of taking a large quantity of Gun-Powder from a King's Fort at the entrance of our harbour (where he not only exposed his life in the bold attempt—but the confiscation of all his property)—up to the present time—a period of twenty-nine long years!—yet, he is vilified and abused in a shameful manner, and exhibited to view by a Tory-faction as a person totally unworthy your confidence. What consummate impudence they must be possessed of in taking those unwarrantable liberties with so excellent a character! such, as none but a disappointed and fallen party would attempt; and they must either suppose you very ignorant of his virtues—or the worst of fools and mad-men to believe their infamous lies.
The enemies to Republicanism are, my fellow citizens, so completely mortified to find that truth is sought for by the People, and that Republicanism gains an ascendancy over spurious Federalism wherever reason is suffered to operate (notwithstanding their malignant shafts are darted in every direction)—that they have become outrageous, and appear determined to go (like their old master) the full length of their chain, without any regard to decency, and have accordingly become in the true sense of the word—blackguards; which even Billinggate—with all its noted infamy cannot exceed, and must in the eyes of all virtuous men sink themselves below contempt—never to rise again.
Republicans seem to traduce private characters to gain their point, and will not be so miserably, dastardly and mean as to imitate their adversaries in politics, as it respects their candidate for Governor. All that is desired or expected to be called in question, is his public character. It is readily granted, that he was during the revolutionary war considered a good Whig, and respected accordingly by all good men! but alas! he has since joined himself with the enemies of a republican government—under the mask of federalism (falsely called)—thereby having apostatized from the true principles of genuine liberty, and has become the dupe of a Tory-faction; which is a circumstance that I sincerely regret, as he is not naturally a bad man, but very susceptible to flattery—and could not withstand the fulsome compliments which were artfully bestowed on him by the ex-President while in his career of the disgraceful measures which caused his fall—and aided by the adulation of time-serving Tory-lycophants—who have been indefatigable in puffing him off as an excellent Governor." But, my fellow citizens, I do not impute his defection to a depravity of heart—but as the dire effect of the most unbounded vanity—tinctured with a degree of obstinacy—the evident marks of a weak mind.
Now let us think seriously of the two candidates for Governor—which are so very opposite! one is the friend of "the people"—and the firm supporter of their rights, predicated on Republican principles—agreeably to the federal and State constitutions;—the other is an advocate for a government that admits of such rights only as the RULERS shall think proper to bestow—considering "the people themselves as their own worst enemies," and ought to have masters to direct them in all their movements: this my fellow citizens is federal logic, and what the Tories mean by an energetic government—and which, you will not hesitate to call the quintessence of DESPOTISM.
Having before you a proper view of the different politics of the two parties—you will of course adopt such measures as shall rescue your invaluable privileges from the fangs of a merciless race of beings—who are seeking your political destruction—the dogs of priest-craft to the contrary notwithstanding. Be ye therefore vigilant and firm at your posts in March next, and then vote for those men as State officers who will do themselves honor and you (their constituents) credit justice—such have been repeatedly proposed as the Republican list of candidates for 1803—and as the importance of the subject cannot be too deeply impressed on your minds—shall take the liberty to name them again—
JOHN LANGDON, for Governor.
For Councillors.—Levi Bartlett, Joseph Badger, Benjamin Peirce, Nahum Parker, Moody Bedell.
For Senators.—Clement Storer, Nicholas Gilman, James Gibson, Richard Jennies, John Waldron, David Copp, William Fisk, James Elanders, Robert Alcock, Elisha Whitcomb, Amasa Allen, William Tarlton.
However the Tory party may allege that the Republicans arrogate to themselves the right of dictating to the State at large—yet your own good sense will determine otherwise, as nothing more is intended than to present such characters to your view as are generally approved of, and at the same time wishing to cultivate unanimity of sentiment as much as possible, in order to insure success. The REPRESENTATIVES being an important branch of the legislature—ought to be attended to with great caution, as every means must be used by the enemies of your liberties to deceive—therefore, do not suffer yourselves to be "guiled of your senses" for the want of proper information, and have to repent when too late.
VERITAS.
Let the People remember that no Old Tory can ever be entitled to hold any office of honor or profit under our Republican Government, so long as a WHIG of '76 remains in our blest Country."

To the CITIZENS of NEW HAMPSHIRE,
[No. IV.]
Friends & Countrymen,
YOU are fully sensible that, as in all objects of national concern, the states have a common interest, if, in any of them there be a preponderating influence of a party opposing the principles and measures of our Government, in proportion to its prevalence, the common interest must be injured;—the general government, the states and individuals. If one member of the body receives a wound, the whole must feel it. To counteract and destroy such influence, is necessary to the stability of the Union—to heal the wounded part, that the whole body may enjoy a perfect health. Though the strength of the opposition in all its forms, is fast decreasing, by the return of great numbers, who have been deluded, to rational and just sentiments; yet, in several of the States, it has still a considerable appearance of force, which is far from being the least in this. Where the section appears to be longest dying, the strokes should be repeated, 'till it has received its death wound; least by aid, derived from the intrigues of foreign emissaries, the hydra should revive, and become more troublesome than ever. Were there but one subtle enterprising genius in action against us, there must be danger, and a call to vigilance. When a nation begins to imagine itself out of danger, it is in very hazardous circumstances; and we had better be kept awake by a degree of opposition, than lulled into security. But should we tamely yield to the opposition existing in this State, the fermenting leaven would soon become fatal to our peace. FELLOW-CITIZENS, it is a truth deserving of our serious consideration, that proportionably to our remissness and inattention to our public affairs, the strength of our political adversaries will revive, and we ought to take care least the time may come, when we shall, with the most poignant remorse, look back to this day, contemplating what by our supineness and negligence we have lost. If ever the Sons of New Hampshire are again to act themselves, and to exert all their energies for the honor of this State, and to secure to the present and the succeeding ages the blessings of Liberty, it is at this moment, when our enemies are straining every nerve to the highest pitch of exertion, to maintain the ground of which they have been so long in possession. To keep their present station, and to increase their unjustly assumed power, they will stick at nothing. To accomplish their ruinous purposes they will leave no stone unturned, they will employ every artifice, and call in every aid, without regard to the dictates of honor, the ties of nature, or the enforcements of religion. You, CITIZENS, [I mean those of you who have been so indifferent and unconcerned about the affairs of your Country; as if you were wholly insensible that your all is involved in its weal or woe—and you, who have suffered, either a slavish fear, or private resentments ignobly to influence your minds.]—are there not motives sufficiently powerful to rouse you from supineness, or to awaken your patriotism? Can any of you any longer imagine it a matter of little consequence to you, whether your Public Officers are pursuing the interests of the State and the Country, or only their own? Can you remain indifferent whether the advocates for Monarchy and Tyranny take the lead, or the friends of Liberty, of Independence, of Republicanism? Shall we tamely suffer men, who have ever hated and opposed the principles of our Government, and who are seeking only their own aggrandizement, to bear the sway? Have we fought and conquered the British King, only to set up a royal tyrant of our own
making? Will an American King possess less of the tyrant than a British? Have not Kings proved tyrants in every country, and in every age? Are you willing the experiment of kingly rule should be made, after all you have done for Freedom, Virtue, Honor and Independence? If not, then be rouzed to vigorous action in your Country's cause—and defeat the purposes of the enemies of your Government. If we now exert ourselves with the vigor, zeal and address, which did us such honor in former times, our public affairs will soon wear a more agreeable aspect; and NEW HAMPSHIRE become illustrious among her SISTER STATES: We have only to determine, she shall be GREAT, and it shall be effected. Why should I repeat to you the dangers and evils we have overcome, which marked the reign of terror, triumphantly insulting; threatening to prostrate our glory in the dust, and forever to efface from American breasts the generous feelings inspired by Liberty, Virtue and Humanity? Are they not fresh in your memories? And our successful contention against the vile measures pursued to degrade the right of suffrage, to establish in power the inveterate enemies of Freedom?—Against the schemes of Monarchists, oppressive taxes, extravagant expenditures? The shameful treatment of the faithful defenders of our Country? The establishment of a standing Army to awe us into servile submission? The false alarms of foreign enemies preparing for us destruction; and innumerable impositions, designed to bend us down under the galling yoke of unfeeling despots? The oppression, the imprisonment of our Patriots, who boldly opposed the assumed sovereignty of a President against the sovereignty of the PEOPLE?—You now behold the throne of tyranny in ruins; and the United States rising in splendor, and shining with a superior glory. You have it in your option to put a finishing hand to the work of reform, which the present situation of this State requires—Suffer her not, Fellow-Citizens, to be the last to appear with the dignity and consequence which she justly merits in the Union. But let it be our determined resolve, that the 1st of March next, shall prove a day ever to be remembered for our patriotic exertions. By our unanimous suffrages for the CITIZENS, presented in the Republican Ticket, let us wrest from the enemies of our Liberties, the power they have so long held to our prejudice and dishonor.
A FRIEND to the PEOPLE.
[No. V.]
Friends & Countrymen,
THE dismal cry is yet heard—All will be desolation and ruin, unless Kings, Nobles and Ecclesiastical hierarchies interpose for our deliverance from the dreadful prevalence of Freedom, and the hateful principles of Republicanism. It is thus your good sense is still insulted by an enraged, despairing faction. Their cause is doublets desperate, or they would fire fewer guns of distress. Destitute of argument, they lay hold of their usual weapons—querulous, plaintive declamation, sophistical reasoning, ribaldry and billinggate: These are their most powerful recommendations to the attention of the public. The eulogiums on the present Governor of this State, are perhaps more intelligibly expressed in the following paraphrase;—In no office which he has sustained has he failed of giving ample satisfaction to the partisans for Church and State union, and the opposers of a Republican Government, by advancing them to the utmost of his power; uniting with them in every scheme prejudicial to the commercial interests of the most respectable of our Citizens; and imposing taxes, which were for no other service than the promotion of unconstitutional and tyrannical influence;—by acting in concert with the Essex Junto, and the unharnessed disseminator of monarchical doctrines, wretchedly concealed under the pretext of defending the American Constitution; and by countenancing the calumniators of the President and all the friends of the Revolution. These are the surest pledges of his future usefulness, and the strongest inducements for continuing him in office. Can the wise head of the tory party endure the thought of the dismissal of so useful a servant, so long employed in the State of New-Hampshire for his advantage?—As for his RIVAL CANDIDATE, the Republican friends of that CITIZEN have nothing to urge in his favour, but that he was one of the most distinguished patriots of '75; that his Republican principles have been invariably the same, his eminent services to his country ever approved and gratefully acknowledged;—Reasons of so little consequence with us Tories and mock federalists, that they can serve no end, unless to exhibit a glaring contrast to the superior merits and qualifications of the man whom we are essaying to establish even for life, in the office of Chief
Magistrate. The objections against Col. LANGDON, it is true, have been answered to the entire satisfaction of the friends of a Republican Government: But that argues only against him. He is an enemy to Tories, and the views of the Fed's & Monarchists; He cannot therefore be a good man; He can be neither a Patriot nor a Christian, and alas! for our cause, should his Republican friends prevail!—Such is the force of the pleas of the advocates for the present Governor, backed with slanderous and abusive language, in which they have proved themselves most notable proficient. You, Fellow-Citizens, will readily discern the weakness, the desperate condition of a cause, in the support of which its defenders are reduced to such pitiful shifts: And you will likewise perceive by the question—Have they no other man? their eager desire, if possible, to set you at variance among yourselves—Ah! any thing rather than be totally lost, and forever to quit the field of contest! They could not have contrived, [distracted as they are,] more effectually to exhibit themselves in their true colours, than they have done in the several addresses they have impeded on the public. They cry out for reasons and arguments, while their voice sounds dreadful in their ears. They are offended at the splendid blaze of TRUTH, as owls at the light of the sun.—Republican Citizens, be firm and immovable; armed with INVINCIBLE TRUTH, be found at your posts; and in a short time, the places of trust that now know your enemies, shall know them no more forever.
A FRIEND to the PEOPLE.
Messrs. PEIRCE'S, THE suggestion of your correspondent, in your paper of the eighth instant, respecting Mr. GILMAN's imitation of the great Character in Europe, is unobjectionable, except as to the too modest delay of another year; No good reason can be offered for more than ten years trial. The man who cannot qualify himself, in that time, for despotism, will never answer the expectations of the high-toned federalists of Strafford. One of them has lately opened the great secret, and publicly declared that we never shall be happy until blessed with an Arbitrary Government; And in order to propose it for economical relief, offered proofs of its cheapness of support. If that be the case, and the minds of people are prepared to meet the question, why not submit the present year? shall J. T. G. be Governor for life! AN ECONOMIST.
Messrs. PRINTERS, In perusing one of your late papers, I observed a list of Legislative officers proposed for the choice of the people at the approaching election—alaho! I believe the list to be generally agreeable, I was nevertheless surprised at not finding Dr. JOSIAH BARTELL of Stratham, in nomination as Senator for the first district. Because the election of that able, upright and uniform Republican, has been contemplated by the people living in the country part of the district, ever since it was known, that the present Senator declined a re-election. That Mr. STORER is not a suitable man for the office, is not pretended, but he is not generally known in the country, where Dr. Bartlett is not only known, but highly esteemed and confided in, and that general confidence turned the attention of the people towards him as soon as it was understood, that a new Senator was to be chosen. It is sincerely to be hoped there will be no division among the Republicans, but really there will be cause to apprehend it, if there is not some new arrangement previous to the commencement of the elections, as Dr. Bartlett has so long been considered by the people in the country, and I understand by great numbers in town too as the candidate for the first senatorial district. I would therefore suggest a small alteration in the nomination list, as it respects this district, which I believe will hit the wishes of a vast majority, by inserting the name of Josiah Bartlett for Senator—and that the public may not lose the services of Mr. Storer in the Legislature, there is no doubt of his being again elected a Representative of the town he inhabits.

THE HOUR OF LOVE.
HALL thou blest orb that rul'st the night, And scan'st thy silent course above; Again I hail thy tranquil light, Propitious to the hour of Love.  How sweet beneath thy placid beam, Far from the busy hum of men, To wander by the lonely stream, In yonder deep romantic glen.  Thro' shadowy trees now hid, now seen, The classic stream flow lingering plays, And from the trembling shades between, Reflects the nightly dazzling rays.  Alone beneath the blue serene, Here no unhallow'd footsteps rove: Here no rude jarrings intervene To mar the holy hour of love.  In covert chaste, in soft delight, How fast the blissful moments move, Pure as thy beams that cheer the night, The joys that cheer the hour of love.  And who'd exchange this blissful hour, For those that fashion's votaries prove, When yielding to the loftier power, Ah! precious is the hour of love.
The II. book of Anti-Christ.
CHAPTER II.
1. NOW it came to pass after these things, that Anti-Christ removed his seat of government to the city of Rome.  2. And when this was done, he sent out into all the regions round about Rome, and said unto the PEOPLE, and the disciples of CHRIST, I am the universal Bishop, and CHRIST's vicegerent.  3. Then rose up the Bishop of Constantinople, and said unto Anti-Christ , thou art not CHRIST's vicegerent, neither art thou the universal Bishop.  4. Now it came to pass that when Anti-Christ heard this, he engaged in a war with his opposers, & sent to the King of France, to help him against his enemies.  5. And the battle was fore, yet Anti-Christ overcame his foes, and became the sole possessor of Rome, and the country round about.  6. Now it came to pass that after Anti-Christ had obtained the name of king and universal Bishop, by the help of the king of France, that he said unto them,  7. As a peculiar token of my favor and love, thou and thy successors (as long as they are faithful to me) shall ever be called the eldest son of the church.  8. Now it came to pass that after Anti-Christ had obtained the power which he had ever been seeking after, and had declared himself CHRIST's vicegerent on earth,  9. That many of CHRIST's friends were filled with joy, because Anti-Christ had (as they thought) become their friend, and appeared to favor the doctrine of CHRIST.  10. (Now the reason of this was, they were ignorant of the federal plan which Anti-Christ and his company had adopted, which was to say one thing and do another.)  11. Now it came to pass that after many years, Anti-Christ began to exercise his authority over the disciples of CHRIST, so that many of them doubted whether he was CHRIST's friend or not.  12. Then answered one of CHRIST's friends, and said unto Anti-Christ , thou art not a friend to CHRIST, but thou art still like thy name, against him.  13. Now when he had said this, many believed on him, and rebelled against Anti-Christ , who was endeavoring to overthrow CHRIST's kingdom, under the pretence of being his friend.  14. And when Anti-Christ saw that they rebelled, he sent forth men to reclaim them from their errors, and to threaten them with death, if they did not submit to the laws of Anti-Christ .  15. And they said we will not obey Anti-Christ , for he claims that power which belongs only to CHRIST.  16. Now when this was done Anti-Christ was filled with rage, and laid unto the federal company, let us adopt part of the laws of Moses, by which we may put to death those who transgress our laws.  17. And Anti-Christ and his company agreed on many things mentioned in the law of Moses, by which they might kill their enemies and yet be justified in it from the scriptures.  18. Now these are some of the things which they agreed to—  19. First to erect places of public worship, and call them the houses of God, and his sanctuaries.  20. And Anti-Christ said the temple had an outer court, an inner court, the holy place and the holiest of all.  21. In our temples the outer court shall be called galleries, the inner court we will call pews, the holy place shall be called the deacon's seat, and the holiest of all shall be called the sacred desk.  22. And as no man was allowed to enter into the holiest of all, excepting the high priest, so it shall be a law that no priest shall enter into the sacred desk, unless he is authorised by me, who am God upon earth.  23. As the high priest wore a breast plate on his breast, and an ephod, so also those who enter the sacred desk, shall wear a breast plate (or BAND), and an ephod (or SURPLUS and SASH).  24. Moreover as the law obliged the people to attend at the temple at stated times, so our law shall oblige them to attend public worship in the temple, or be punished.  25. Anti-Christ said unto them, let us also introduce children into our communion, and tell the people that by baptizing them they will be saved.  26. And that those who die without receiving the holy water, will be damned.  27. Now when these laws are in force, those who rebel against us can be put to death, according to the law, as heretics, who ought to die.  (To be continued.)
