ACTS passed at a Session of the Honorable GENERAL COURT, convened at Concord, June, 1802.
AN ACT, to regulate the inspection of Beef and Pork intended to be exported from this State.
BE it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court convened, That from and after the first day of October next, no person or persons whomsoever, shall ship or export from this State any salted beef, except in tierces, barrels, or half-barrels, of the quality and dimensions herein after provided, and the contents thereof are inspected and packed, and unless the casks, containing the same, are branded agreeably to the directions in this act.

MISCELLANY.
From the BALANCE.
ON EDUCATION.
IDLENESS is the rust of human nature and the nurse of bad habits. It enervates the mind and overspreads it, as it were with a leprosy, even as water becomes putrid and will breed loathsome vermin, by continuing long stagnant. This was the bane of Sodom. The sacred penman remarked concerning that horribly polluted city, that "abundance of idleness was in her." And from that source there sprang those detestable abominations, which cried to heaven against her, and enstamped her character with eternal infamy. As the air, in which we constantly breathe, becomes corrupt when it is long motionless, so the ethereal breath of life itself, which had been breathed into man from above, naturally corrupts in a state of indolence. When children are suffered to get the habit of idleness, a long catalogue of other evil habits will follow of course.
Solomon, the most wise observer of human nature, has remarked, that "loth casteth into a deep sleep"—and also, that "The desire of the slothful killeth him." These remarks aptly express the invincible tendency of idleness both to produce a general imbecility of character and to generate destructive propensities and habits. A certain kind of tension or irksome disquietude is a never failing concomitant of idleness. The due poise of human life, with respect to comfort as well as usefulness, consists in a constant succession of labour and rest; and any one who never knew labour, never knew rest. * Time itself oppresses an idle person, as with the weight of a millstone: and in order to kill time, he has recourse to the gambling table and to the various pernicious baits of dissipation. Children and youth, who are nursed in the lap of idleness, are blighted in the bloom; for by an indolent fauntering disposition, which when once fixed becomes incurable, the mind is shorn of its strength and falls an easy prey to all kinds of evil temptations.
On the other hand, industry is the balm of life to the human frame. It equally befriended our health and our morals; it equally braces the body and the mind. It is a powerful curb against licentious dispositions and practices, as well as an indispensable prerequisite to the forming of a character either respectable or useful. The importance of guarding the youth against idleness and of forming in them habits of industry, has been too little considered; and yet the experience of ages has proved, that idle and dissipated youths are commonly useless and even a nuisance to society, in the subsequent periods of their lives; while those who have been early accustomed to a regular course of industry have found this path, which at first seemed rough and irksome, gradually becoming more and more easy and delightful, and, for the most part, they have preferred through life a decent and useful character. Industry therefore ought to be encouraged by the patronage of public opinion, as well as by the pecuniary advantages which result from it.
There is a paragraph in the Monitor, (a valuable book that is generally read in the American Schools,) which should be expanded. It is an extract from the letters of the Earl of Chesterfield to his son, wherein his Lordship in condescending to give directions to his son on the subject of cutting his finger nails, remarks, "When the nails are cut down to the quick, it is a thred sign that the man is a mechanic, to whom long nails would be troublesome; and if
* There is a labour of the mind as well as of the body; and some employ themselves very industriously and usefully to society, who never labour with their hands.
they are longer than his fingers' ends and encircled with a black gum, it foretells that he has been laboriously and meanly employed, &c. If this paragraph were to be simply considered as a lesson from a British nobleman to his son, to whose person and manners he was aiming to give the highest degree of European polish, it might pass without animadversion; put in its application to American Schools, it is highly reprehensible.
There are no fewer than nineteen in twenty among the children and youth accustomed to read the Monitor at schools, who are by no means exempted by the circumstances of their parents from the necessity of manual labour; and they should be taught to view industry as a virtue, both necessary and laudable: but when on the contrary, they are taught at school, that "labour is mean" many of them will be led thereby to conceive an inconquerable prejudice against those laborious, but most useful callings, to which Providence had destined them—and this absurd prejudice, which they imbibed as a part of their education may likely prove ruinous to themselves, as well as greatly injurious to the general interests of society.
It was not so that the prudent Romans educated their children. They honoured useful labour.—Cincinnatus, their General, held the plough; and Augustus, their Emperor, wore garments, which were manufactured by his wife and daughter. And if we recur to the most sacred source of authority we there find idleness stigmatized and useful labour encouraged and applauded. The wise king of Israel, in his book of Proverbs, which was particularly designed for the instruction of youth, among various other incentives to industry, says, "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men."—And in the description of a fine woman, at the close of that book, industry makes a considerable part of the panegyric. "She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry. She maketh fine linen and selleth it, and delivereth girdles unto the merchant." SENECA.
Senate of the U. States.
The following statement shows the periods at which the seats of the present Members of the Senate of the United States, will be respectively vacated. The vacancies occur on the 4th of March in each year.
   1803. 1805. 1807.     Anderson, Baldwin, Breckinridge,   Chipman, Brown, Bradley,   Th. Foster, Cooke, Colhoun,   Hillhouse, Dayton, Clinton,   Howard, Ellery, Jackson,   S. T. Mason, D. Foster, Logan,   J. Mason, Franklin, Sheafe,   G. Morris, Nicholas, Stone,   Ogden, Olcott, Tracy,   Ross, Sumpter, Wright,   White, Wells,  
By the first column of the above statement, it will be seen, that the seats of eleven of the present Senators will be vacated on the 4th day of March next. Of these eleven, three only are republicans, viz. Anderson, Th. Foster and S. T. Mason ; the former from Tennessee the second from Rhode-Island, and the latter from Virginia. These three states are decidedly republican, the above three gentlemen will either be re-elected, or other republicans appointed to their places; so that the republican interest will suffer nothing by the expiration of their terms.
The other eight senators whose terms expire with the 3d of March next, are all federalists, viz. Chipman , of Vermont; Hillhouse , of Connecticut; Howard , of Maryland; J. Mason , of Massachusetts; G. Morris , of New York; Ogden , of New Jersey; Ross , of Pennsylvania; and White , of Delaware. As the Legislatures of Vermont, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are already republican; and there is a majority of republicans in the state of Delaware, (evinced by the election of a republican Governor,) the legislature of which state will consequently be republican at the next election; it will be plainly seen, that the seats of six of the above federalists will be occupied, after the third of March next by republicans. That is to say, on the March next the republican party in the Senate of the United States will receive an addition of six members; and on the same day the federal party in the Senate will experience a diminution of six members.
Further: An act passed at the late session of Congress, authorizing the people of the Eastern Division of the territory North West of the Ohio, to form a state government, and providing for their admission as a member of the Union, on an equal footing with the original states.—This new state, when formed, will be entitled to two Senators in Congress; and as the inhabitants of that district, were almost to a man republican, no doubt can exist that their legislature will elect republican Senators to congress.
Besides this it may be observed, that should a vacancy occur by death or resignation, in any seat in the Senate now occupied by a federalist, from any state in the Union, (the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut excepted, these being the only states in which the federalists have a majority in the legislature) such vacancy will be filled by a republican.
We might carry our views forward to the year 1805, when, even supposing republicanism to remain stationary in the respective states, several federal members of the Senate, whose term expires that year, will be superceded by republicans. But this exertion of our view we conceive to be unnecessary. The progress of political truth is rapid and irresistible; and we have not the shadow of a doubt, that before the above mentioned period, every state in the union will have a republican legislature; and consequently the Senate of the United States will be thoroughly purged of the few remaining minions of monarchy and aristocracy, who have assumed the imposing and specious title of Federalists, to conceal their designs against our constitution, and against those rights and privileges which it recognizes and guarantees to the people.
Of the changes which may take place in the House of Representatives, no accurate
calculation can be made. But there is ample reason to believe, that in every instance of a change, it will be favorable to the genuine principles of republicanism. Several federal members from various states whose term of service already has, or shortly will have expired, it is known will be succeeded by republicans; of the contrary not an instance we believe, can be adduced. Our national government will therefore very soon be administered almost exclusively by men devoted to the sublime and salutary principles upon which it was originally established; and the opponents of those principles are already reduced to a number insignificant and contemptible. [Trenton Amer.]
Political Economy.
We often notice in the Price Currents of our principal cities, that Fish of all kinds continues to be imported from Nova Scotia, and other foreign colonies.—This merits some attention, particularly at this time, when the return of peace will leave a considerable number of our seamen at large. It is no more than a wise and prudent measure of self preservation, to devise means for their employment at home, as well as for the due encouragement of our own fisheries in preference to those of other countries. The importation of a commodity which we can ourselves provide equally well, and as cheap, is an actual wrong done to our home industry; it is giving a bounty to foreign industry, to the discouragement of our own. It appears that foreign manufactures are charged, on an average, from 1 1/2 to 20 per cent. while the duty on foreign fish is only 5 per cent. The bounties bestowed on the Eastern fisheries were first proposed by Mr. Jefferson, while he was secretary of state, and their success in enriching the Eastern states has been fully experienced, though not very liberally regarded.
Besides rendering a service to ourselves of encouraging our home industry, by advancing the duties on imported fish of foreign colonies, we should render a service of a more remote tho' not less humane nature. The labouring poor of other countries, find themselves deprived of the fish which formerly came to them at a reasonable price, but the fisheries of foreign nations have not increased, they have rather decreased in proportion to the foreign demand; and the adventurers of our own fisheries carried to foreign countries have contributed to this decrease; while our population has increased immensely beyond the proportionate increase of our fishing trade.—There can be but little doubt that our country would now consume more than the whole of our fishing produce. The high price which it bears in our own market is an evidence of this truth.
The English government imposes generally duties on foreign fish, nearly equal to 100 per cent. in some places the importation of fish from foreign parts is wholly prohibited. This is in the spirit of that commercial policy which has raised that country from the natural order of a second or third rate power to a consequence in the scale of nations equal with the first.
We do not either admire her policy or the use which she has made of her consequent power, as objects of desirable imitation, on general principles. But while one powerful nation pursues such a policy, and while another nation her rival, is in pursuit of it, and promises to establish the like partial system, it would be the height of absurdity in us to surrender our right to protect ourselves and promote our own home industry and prosperity by means so natural within ourselves. This can be done by raising our duties on foreign fish imported, so as to operate as a bounty to our own fishermen.
Fish oil is allowed to be imported upon a duty of 15 per cent. into the United States from foreign countries. The English impose a duty equal to 150 per cent. upon our oil imported into England. This is not done to annoy us directly; it is not done with hostility to us; but it operates injuriously, as it puts us out from that market, in order to encourage the fisheries of their own country. This is the spirit of their policy, and we suffer our fisheries to labour under a competition with those of England, to the amount of 135 per cent. in their favour. Why do we not lay a duty on oil, the produce of the English fisheries, equivalent to the difference?
Another good effect must result from an early attention to this point. The French government is deeply employed in forming its act of navigation, upon the principle of Oliver Cromwell's act. By taking early steps to guard our fisheries, we preserve our seamen and fishermen from passing into foreign employment, and teach those who may expect to rival us by our own hands, that we are not indifferent to the value of them.

Important Discovery.
Among the Arts and Sciences none is of more confessed importance to a commercial nation, than that of Navigation. Although the theory and practice of this science have within the period of one century, been carried to a degree of perfection, which the human intellect could hardly be supposed capable of producing, yet they still remained particular problems for the ingenuity of the Mathematician to accomplish. The most important of these was, tables, having the latitude failed from, with the course and distance failed, which would give the ship's latitude and longitude by inspection, independent either of plain middle latitude or Mercator's sailing; and without any kind of calculation whatever. It is therefore with peculiar satisfaction that I inform the public Tables of this description are now contriving by Mr. George Baron, Teacher of Mathematics in New-York, which will also show by inspection, the exact bearing and distance of any two places, whose latitude and longitude are known.

BALTIMORE, AUG. 10, 1802.
A LETTER from an officer on board the frigate Chesapeake dated Gibraltar, May 28th, mentions, that a squadron of British ships have failed, report say, for Algiers, to demand the Portuguese frigate captured some time since, for being taken in fight of the rock: and that the British officers, particularly Lord Keith, frequently visited the American frigates.
A Dutch squadron, of three sail of the line, and three transports commanded by Admiral De Winter, and bound into the Mediterranean, was at Madeira, the 27th June.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 16.
Our absent fellow-citizens cannot be too deeply impressed with the awfulness and importance of one fact, i.e. that the disease with which we are said to be visited, has uniformly made its advances in an insidious manner. After evincing itself in remote, confined quarters, it has there lurked, until the heat and moisture of the succeeding season have augmented its virulence, and given it a boundless extension. The severe experience of the city, for four years, has demonstrated the accuracy of this assertion. It is made with a view to deter our impatient absentees from risking an halting and perilous return.
Our surmise on Monday last, that "by the latter end of next week, we shall have little occasion for reports, and less for alarm," is in some measure verified, by the Board of Health, who, while there seemed occasion assiduously attended and made report, as well on Sunday as Monday; but yesterday, so distant were they from forming one, that they did not even meet to make the inquiry. As for alarm it only exists in the fear that something may happen. At present it is pretty well proved, that the large committee of the N. Liberties, the industrious one of Southwark, with all the physicians, and all the printers who have not run away, can scarcely find a marked case, unless it may be in the hospital. But notwithstanding, it is hoped our fellow-citizens, will enjoy their cool and pleasant retreats a little longer.
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 13.
Yesterday morning two other French frigates anchored within the Hook. The frigate La Consolante, which arrived at the quarantine ground on Tuesday last, we are informed, comes up to town this morning. She has on board about 300 black prisoners taken at Guadaloupe; and, it is said, the other frigates have also black prisoners on board. Two other French frigates are expected in this port; and others will rendezvous at different American ports during the hurricane months in the West-Indies.
AUGUST, 14.
On Thursday evening the French frigate La Consolante, drifted from her anchorage off the Quarantine ground, amongst the vessels at anchor within the quarantine limits and went foul of the brig Twins, Capt. Scott, from Jamaica which done her some injury; and is was with great difficulty she was prevented from going ashore.—Had the tide not have been full she certainly would have grounded; as it was, she lost an anchor. While foul of the Twins, a number of the Blacks got on board the brig, and secreted themselves in the hold, and one in the top. Search was made, and those below were found; but the one in the brig's top was not discovered; and during the night, he took the Twins' boat, and got on shore, and made his escape on Staten Island.
During the squabble occasioned by the above accident, one of the French teaman fell from one of the frigate's yards and was drowned; and one of the Blacks who stood in the way, was thrown overboard by some of the crew, and perished.
Yesterday morning the French frigate La Consolante (the commodore's ship) came up from the quarantine ground, and anchored off Fort Jay. She fired a salute of twenty one guns, which was honored with an equal number from the fort.
The two French frigates, mentioned yesterday, have arrived at the quarantine ground.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Chesapeake Frigate, to a gentleman in Frederickburg, (Vir.) dated "before Gibraltar, June 21.
"Our frigate is entirely refitted, and will proceed on its cruise in a few hours; it is hourly expected here, that the Emperor of Morocco, and the Tunisians will declare war against the United States. A brig from Marfeilles, which arrived here last night, brings news, that seven Tunisian cruizers, engaged the American frigate Boston, a few days ago, and that the Boston lost in the action, a number of men, and several officers, and that the disabled two of the enemy, and shattered the rest very much; this is generally believed. It is also reported, that the Moors are fitting out two frigates in Tangiers, of 66 guns, with great expedition—we shall be off the port where these frigates lie, some time to-morrow, and should they venture out, I hope to give you a better account of them. The Algerines have taken several British merchantmen; a ship of the line and one frigate, left this place in consequence for Algiers, a few days ago. We are called to get underway, so is the vessel that will carry this. So adieu, &c."
NEW-YORK, AUG. 16.
Extract of a letter to a respectable commercial house in this city, from their correspondent at Cadiz, dated July 6th, received by the Schooner Rising Sun.
"Contrary to what I assured you in my last, we are still here, and our detention has been a fortunate circumstance; for it has ensured us the protection of a Swedish frigate which
came in here three days since, to convoy Swedish and American merchantmen to the Mediterranean; and, had we failed alone from hence, there was great danger that we should have fallen into the hands of a new enemy, the EMPEROR of MOROCCO, having sent our Consul out of his dominions, and proclaimed War against the United States, on the 25th ultimo. I hope we have no danger to apprehend in going to Gibraltar; but it would be extremely imprudent to attempt to go unprovided; and if several more of our ships of war do not come out here soon, our commerce with the Mediterranean must be abandoned. The Tripolitans have lately captured two of our vessels and one Swede. They and the Moors are now maning with a great deal of spirit. Commodore Morris, aware of the danger, is coming here soon, to convoy a number of our vessels to the westward.—We shall sail to-morrow morning.
SALEM, AUGUST 17.
The hostility of the Moors puts the commerce of the United States in the Mediterranean to great hazard. The situation of Morocco, on the gut of Gibraltar, enables them to annoy our vessels with their guns boats, in the same manner as the Spaniards have lately done. There is reason to fear that some vessels from this port may be at Mogadore, and thus fall into the hands of the Moors.—it is to be hoped that our government will take some speedy steps to re-establish peace, and save our fellow-citizens.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
JUNE 3, 1802.
COW POCK.
Ad. Berkley said he would not trespass on the time of the house in advertising to all the particulars contained in the report of the committee on the petition of Dr. Jenner, the meritorious discoverer of the Cow Pock, as the report had been for some time in the hands of the members. He had to observe, that some of the first medical characters in the country had been examined, and unequivocally stated, that vaccine inoculation was a sovereign preventive against that dreadful malady and scourge to the human race, the Small Pox. Out of the thousands that were inoculated with the vaccine virus, not one died, nor did it even render the parties incapable of following their ordinary avocations. The reason why more medical gentlemen were not called upon was because those examined are men of indispitable eminence, who had originally opposed the practice, but who were now convinced of its efficacy; and he had no doubt, if others had been examined, that they would have borne similar testimony of its virtues. Anxious letters had been written on the subject, but of these no attention was taken in the report. Much certainly was due to Dr. Jenner, three-fourths of the world paid him homage for the invention, and every unprejudiced mind must acknowledge his just claims on his country. This discovery had this great advantage, that the Cow Pock was so mild in its nature, that the labourer and husbandman could work as usual, though inoculated, without inconvenience to themselves or becoming hurtful to the parish. Nay, our soldiers and sailors, in the situation he described, were enabled to give their full aid in accomplishing these brilliant achievements which by sea and land distinguished the late war.—The report, he observed, stated, that Dr. Jenner had lost an extensive practice in this country, by his application in carrying into effect his discovery, and when he had accomplished it, he voluntarily promulgated the secret for the benefit of the world. The expense of foreign correspondence with this gentleman cost him from 25 to 30 shillings a day which to a man of fortune would be deemed considerable, but to a man of none, of serious consequence.
He then adverted to the Parliamentary gratuities to Mr. Irvine, for the discovery of rendering salt water fresh, who received £5000.—To the discoverer of the stone lovent; and to Mr. Harrison, who received £20,000 for the discovery of his time piece. The number of patients lost annually in the United Kingdom by the small pox was estimated, he said, at 45,000, raking the number throughout the habitable globe, a victim fell every second of time to this destructive malady. After expressing the great obligation which mankind were under to Mr. Jenner for the discovery, he moved—
"That it is the opinion of the committee that a sum not exceeding £10,000 be granted to his majesty, to be paid as a remuneration to Dr. Edward Jenner, for promulgating the discovery of the Vaccine Inoculation, by which mode that dreadful malady the small pox was prevented."
Sir Henry Mildmay, after enlarging on the great benefit derived to the world from so invaluable a discovery, moved an amendment, that instead of the sum of 10,000 the words "twenty thousand pounds" should be inserted, which was also seconded.
Mr. Windham was strongly in favor of the amendment.
Sir James Esdaile Sinclair made a strong appeal to the feelings of the House in favor of the amendment. From very good authority he was empowered to state, that Dr. Jenner, besides sacrificing his local practice, which was very considerable, had spent no less a sum than 6000l. in maturing his system and bringing it to a state of perfection.
Mr. Courtney observed, that it had been admitted, even by those who opposed the amendment that 40,000 lives, on an average were saved to the country in consequence of the discovery. Now taking the estimate of things by which, in a country like this, every life, on the average, was allowed to be worth 5l. per annum, there would accrue to the revenue a saving or income of 200,000l. Under these circumstances he thought the inventor entitled to his tythes, and therefore should vote for the amendment.
The House divided on the question, that the words "ten thousand pounds," do stand part of the motion. The numbers were—Ayes 59—Noes 56—majority 3.

For the New-Hampshire Gazette. Messrs. PEIRCE'S, PRESUMING your impartiality will induce you to convey to the public through the medium of your paper, all proper information relative to the important business of the approaching election of Members to Congress; you are requested to insert the following in your next—
FEDERALISTS ATTEND! Ingratitude is worse than the sin of witchcraft. I am an old man, retired from the battle of the busy world, and can from this elevated situation, impartially view the changing scenes that are constantly passing beneath me. Ambition and intrigue I have long since discovered, are confined to no party, but a display of them, I confess, was little expected in the instances now about to be mentioned. You are required to vote on the last Monday in this month, for five members to represent this State in the next Congress. A new nomination of almost entirely young and inexperienced attorneys, has been proposed and recommended to your choice; and in every paper they are crying to you, Lo here! and Lo there! But federalists, believe them not. They seek not your good, but merely their own interests. We have hitherto had in Congress men respectable for age and of long tried experience and integrity: among those is our venerable and steady friend ABEL FOSTER, Esq. who has grown grey in our service. To insinuate themselves into the place he has so long and worthily filled; a set of young men, and their young adherents have undertaken, without authority, to publish in all the papers, that Mr. FOSTER declines a re-election. But this is not true—it is a manoeuvre of these ambitious youths to withdraw your support from this venerable and sage patriot, and to secure it to themselves. But he is still ready to obey the call of his country, tho' he will not, like them, intrude himself on your choice. He has uniformly and modestly declared, that, tho' he wished not to stand in the way of others, if chosen your representative, he will continue to serve you as he heretofore has done. The same treatment which Mr. FOSTER has received from these young men, has been shewn to Mr. UPHAM. This gentleman was induced at the last election to relinquish a profitable business to serve us in Congress. But these young men are also striving to crowd him out of the way, in order to crowd themselves. They hardly pretend that he is unwilling to go, but are rather endeavoring to wink him out of sight, and to insinuate themselves into your confidence. But these things ought not to be tolerated, by such unjustifiable treatment of men, who have stood the shock of the worst of times; we shall discourage every true federalist from entering into our service, and become the prey and the tools of ambitious young intriguers. To avoid a catastrophe so much to be dreaded, let every true federalist, at the ensuing election, steadily adhere to our old and tried patriots, who are still ready to serve us, notwithstanding the misrepresentations of stripping attorneys, who under the mask of federalism, are striving to raise themselves on the ruins of our oldest and best servants. Let us then, instead of new and young men, again choose those who have stood the test of experience, who have been weighed in the balance without being found wanting—and such you will find in
ABEL FOSTER, SAMUEL TENNEY, } Esq's. GEO. B. UPHAM, Who are your present representatives; and to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. PEIRCE, the only member who has declined, and also the additional new members, SAMUEL HUNT and DANIEL BLASDELL, Esquires, are recommended to your choice as men of experience, integrity, & sound federalism.

Portsmouth. TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1802. The Act, respecting BEEF & PORK Published in this day's Gazette, is of such importance to the Citizens of this State, that they should not only read it over once, but should carefully preserve the paper, and have it always at hand to refer to. We take this opportunity to hint to our Country Brethren of the type, that the insertion of this Law, would be peculiarly beneficial to their subscribers.
For the GAZETTE. Messrs. Peirce's, I observed in the Dover paper, Judge COGSWELL, is nominated for a member of Congress, for the county of Strafford—I hope the Republicans will unite in a candidate from that county, and I believe Judge COGSWELL will be generally supported—please insert his name in the room of Obed Hall, Esq. in the Republican list in your paper, and remember, united we stand, divided we fall—Republicans one and all, be at your posts on Monday next, to choose the men who will support our Constitution.
To the Citizens of New-Hampshire. GENTLEMEN, WE would once more intreat you not to let any thing whatever divert you from giving your prompt attention on Monday next; for the voice of your Country; the voice of Freedom, and the interest of Mankind throughout the world, entreat and beseech you to be early at your posts; and come with your Votes prepared for the following Gentlemen to represent you in the next Congress of the United States—And don't be bullied from your determination to support these excellent Republican Characters. But keep in mind the past wormwood and gall, and see to it, that your cattle or your flock is not again wrested from you by a LAND TAX, or any other unnecessary burden. Therefore, if you would wish to avoid these evils, be united in your Candidates, and refuse every list that is not graced with the following Patriotic Names. CLEMENT STORER, For Rockingham County. THOMAS COGSWELL, Strafford County. JONATHAN SMITH, Hillsborough County. NAHUM PARKER, Cheshire County. MOODY BEDEL, Grafton County, and NAHUM PARKER, To fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Joseph Peirce, Esq.
FEDERAL TICKET, for Representatives, for the next Congress—published by desire. ABEL FOSTER, of Canterbury. GEORGE B. UPHAM, of Claremont. SAMUEL TENNEY, of Exeter. SAMUEL HUNT, of Charlestown. DANIEL BLASDELL, of Grafton.
It is said the right of Mr. PLUMER, to take a seat in the Senate of the United States, will be contested, on the ground of undue influence being used at his election.
Messrs. PEIRCE'S, By inserting the following, you will much oblige a CUSTOMER.
IT is with pleasure, I understand that there is a Mechanic Association about forming here; indeed I may go farther and say, that there is no doubt of its utility; It is my sincere wish that this may not be like most all other societies that have heretofore been formed here—But that it may be as lasting as the Sun in the Firmament, and to affect this, there is nothing wanting, but the energy and stability of its Members. I presume there is no one, that knows the nature of this institution, but who will recommend it to the rising generation. Arouse then my younger brethren, and rally round the standard of each one's prosperity, and show yourselves like men, and more especially those that have their doubts, come forward and shake off those doubts, as you can not but acknowledge the benefits arising from this institution, in times of difficulty and distress, and let the world know that you do not value the sum funded, and let it be no longer said that no societies of any magnitude, can ever prosper here—My brethren be up and doing, as we are but stewards of what we possess. AN AGED MECHANIC.
A gentleman arrived at Norfolk, in the brig Ann eight days from Cape Francois, informs, that at the time of his departure, Gen. Macdonald, with 18,000 troops from France were lying too, a short distance to the eastward of the Cape, waiting for orders at what place to land. An additional duty of 5 per cent, (making now 25 per cent in the whole) was laid three days before his departure, on all exports from the island in foreign vessels.
Accounts from Guadalupe, to the 23d. inst. state, that Gen. Richepanse has instituted a forced loan from the merchants of one million of livres. Two shocks of an earthquake were experienced at Martinico, the 15th and 16th June, last.
HEALTH OFFICE, Portsmouth, August 24. WE congratulate our Fellow-Citizens on the return of health. We are happy to state that no new case of Fever has happened within the last twelve days. The town is now remarkably healthful; there is not even a doubtful or suspicious case. The few cases of Malignant Fever, which have occurred were evidently sporadic, or accidental, not depending upon the contamination of the town. There has been no appearance of contagion. To the blessings of divine providence, in bestowing upon us plentiful showers in due season, we owe the remarkable healthfulness of the town at this time. ELISHA LOW, L. SPALDING, } Health-Officers BENJ. SHERBURNE.
It appears by the Philadelphia papers, received by last Mails, that the fever has totally subsided in that city. The accounts from Baltimore, are equally favorable. The Board of Health of New-York, the 16th, published "that the state of public health was then happy beyond example." Accounts from Philadelphia state, that near 30,000 of its inhabitants have fled into the adjacent country to escape the fever.
When tyranny looms so low as to exert at the apostasy of Callender from republicanism, it proves beyond the testimony of a thousand witnesses that the cause it maintains is incapable of a generous and manly support. A few years since, it is said, this very Callender arrived in this country, as a persecuted patriot from the Old World, not only without "a second shirt to his back," but without a penny in his pocket. He had certainly some pretensions to merit as a writer, or our "first characters," would not now give him their countenance, and calculate on his aid as an important acquisition to their existing influence. But in their eyes, we are sensible that Callender must have some other charms. In fact, he is the Judas of republicanism, and has attempted to betray the man who received him in a moment when there was not another person who would give him a shilling. These alluring qualifications have entitled this mendicant, in the estimation (to the honor of the country be it spoken) of but a small party, to all the consequence which treachery will not fail to bestow in their minds, on every deserter from the interest of honor and justice. Callender will now be their idol, the very Dagon of aristocracy; and for a week or more, the pious devotees of royalty will make their pilgrimage to his shrine, in the fond hope of some new miracle being wrought in their favor. But alas! what Hamilton and Adams, what Percivale and Lison have not been able to accomplish, Callender will attempt in vain. Federalism can have no new triumphs. It can never again cheat the war-worn soldier of his pay, by a fraudulent system, which realized to the enemies of the revolution, those certificates which its friends had earned. It can never again reanimate the hopes of the miser, by opening a second time the flood-gates of speculation and swindling, by a paper bank, the scrap of which for a while was the only commodity at market.
Under the administration of President Jefferson, the soldiers and sailors "more or less," will be at least paid the debt that is due to them. They will not be permitted to perish in want, by a pretended friend, that others may be enriched by the product of their labours. Common sense will not be prostrated to a corrupt theory, which sacrificed the substance of justice to its shadow, that those who had wasted their property in the service of their country, by an ill contrived project, should be almost the only persons who were not to profit by the American revolution. The present administration seems to make its appeal to the worth passions of the human heart. It reposes itself on the common sense and the common interest of the uncorrupted merchant, farmer and manufacturer—these classes unite 18 twentieths of the actual strength of the community. The well disposed individuals who compose them, feel that every thing is right; and it is not the venal quill of Callender, or a thousand like him, that can persuade them to the contrary. While this miscreant has been safe enough to give an act of charity the appearance of a bride, what must we think of his credit?—He has covered his own character with eternal infamy, that he might possibly do a slight injury to that of his acknowledged patron.

Memory of Washington. To the Citizens of the United States.
WHEN your beloved WASHINGTON, THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY, died! You saw with increased sensibility the universe in tears! AMERICANS! How did your bosoms dilate and glow, when, at the first meeting of your political fathers, following the melancholy event, you saw the call for a MONUMENT worthy of the SUBLIME VIRTUES you hoped to perpetuate, universally applauded! How then FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, have you permitted two whole years to pass since the noble and natural resolution was every where individually formed; and the traveller still to ask in vain, Where is THE NATIONAL MONUMENT, sacred to Public and Private Virtue: to the manes of the illustrious WASHINGTON?
COLUMBIANS! You owe to the world, as well as to yourselves, an apology, or an explanation, for the mysterious delay of your acknowledged duty: Since nothing can be more true, than that a mere difference of opinion, respecting the form of the Monument, or the mode of its elevation, is the sole cause. To prove this, let us agree at once to obviate all difficulty by uniting in a simple plan to accord with the annexed, now in operation:—
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION,
To a MONUMENT sacred to Public and Private Virtue, dedicated to GEORGE WASHINGTON, to be erected in the City, bearing his name, by the voluntary contribution of citizens of the United States only.—The form, and inscriptions, to be under the entire direction of 3 Trustees.
I. THESE articles of subscription for a Monument to WASHINGTON may be opened in any district or part of the United States, provided that none but citizens be allowed to subscribe, and that no individual be allowed to contribute in his own name more than one Eagle, (or Ten Dollars) to this subscription fund.
II. THE name of each subscriber shall be written in a book, and transmitted with the subscription monies to either Branch of the Bank of the United States.
III. To render the whole design as simple as may be, three trusty and well beloved friends, namely, BUSHRON WASHINGTON, and JOHN MARSHALL, Judges in the Supreme Court of the United States, and BENJAMIN STODDEET, late Secretary of the Navy of the U.

Messrs. PRINCES. ALTHO' a young and unexperienced traveller in the path of scribbling, yet, the reception I have met with is very flattering, and such as has, perhaps, too much awakened that passion, which most persons think themselves without, but, which I will ever consider as laudable in a good cause, viz. Vanity.—Such talents as I possess, I hope, I shall ever have an inclination to devote to the cause of virtue, morality and religion; in applauding the noble deeds of virtue, and ridiculing the destructive principles of vice; and while my situation is such as to allow me time for writing, you will be very welcome to such productions as my youthful mind will afford; and if I can banish one lurking vice from one individual, I shall think myself paid.—If my writings have any merit you can insert them, and if none, you can consign them to oblivion.—I belong to no "party;" I am a bigot to no "sect"—the world of mankind is the family to which I belong, and to render them happy, is my highest ambition. Such is the person from whom you have received several anonymous pieces, and whose principal writings in future will appear under the title of the

THE NYMPH of the GREEN.
As o'er the village green to gay,
I wander'd at the close of day;
A sportive Nymph, of angel mein,
Was dancing on the verdant green.
Imagination scarce can paint
The blushes, and the glowing tint;
The dimpled cheek, the rosy bloom,
Which promis'd healthy days to come.
Upon her breast, in ringlets flow'd
The tresses of the ancient mode,
And naive flowrets, from the spray,
Just in her opening bosom lay.
In white attire her form was dress'd,
A simple girdle deck'd her waist;
And on her head the crimson rose
Its sweets did far around disclose.
But O, her form, her pleasing air,
Did all the charms of Venus share;
And one would think that heaven queen
Had come to dance upon the green.
Her eyes of pure celestial blue—
Her lips the cherry's crimson hue;
From whence distill'd Arabian gales,
More grateful than the flow'ry vales.
Her mind, so innocent and fair,
With all the charms of virtue there;
While friendship, cheerfulness and love
Thro' all her actions sweetly move.
The swain, to whose enraptur'd arms
Are destin'd such celestial charms,
May look with frown on all that's great,
Nor envy kings in regal state.
RURAL LOITERER.
Occasioned by seeing a beautiful woman very much ruffled with the "angry passion."
FORBEAR, nor let the tempest scowl
O'er all that lovely face;
Lest not the peals of thunder roll,
Obscuring ev'ry grace.
Altho' the power of speech remains,
Retrain that slender tongue.
For was it fixt with stoutest chains
It soon would be unstrung.
The recent discovery of Mr. Burgess Alston, will, doubtless, be attended with great advantage, to all the tippling crew; as by means of that, they will not be obliged to wait, in anxious suspense, until age has given the newly distilled Spirit a tolerable flavour, but, can regale themselves on the "precious liquor," fresh from the Distillery. Mr. Alston certainly deserves the gratitude of every topers in the United States; altho' an acquaintance of mine had a ridiculous notion, that it would serve to increase the number of merry spend-thrifts; and, on that supposition, lent me the following, which I told him I would send to the Gazette office, that others might see what an odd creature he was, to suppose he could have too much of the spirit of life.
AN ODD FELLOW'S POEM.
To Mr. A—N.
THOU sage of philosophic eye,
Suppress thy nice discovery,
Nor fill the world with ill;
By teaching drunkards how to make
Their flowing bowl new flavor take,
Tho' smacking from the still.
But let thy chymistry, so nice,
Teach mortals how to banish vice,
And then destructive pleasure;
Teach them to know that virtue's name
Is passport to immortal fame,
And an exhaustless treasure.

A GENTLEMAN was awaked in the middle of the night, for the purpose of being informed that his Father was dead; he turned again to sleep, saying, "Oh! how I shall be grieved in the morning when I awake again."
A prodigious number of wolves have lately ravaged the Cantons of the department of Landes, in France. In one Commune alone that of Sables, these animals, in the course of four months, have broke into forty-seven parks or sheep-folds, and devoured upwards of 500 sheep and lambs. They have also devoured in the fields, 13 young foals, of a month and a month and a half old. They commit their depredation, frequently, in troops of four and five each. Lon. pap.
A NUT FOR THE FEDS.
It is little better than one year since Mr. Jefferson was made President of the United States: No insurrections have happened: Unless offices are abolished: The Churches have not been destroyed: Ministers have not been put to death: Bibles, altho' plenty, are in greater demand, and use than ever: Religion flourishes more than ever: Women are as chaste, as under the former administration, and men as virtuous. Less villainy practiced, but more rogues punished. [Hornet.]
