Doct. John Bredou,
Regularly educated Physician & Surgeon,
HAS lately arrived in this town from Europe, and tenders his services to the public in the line of his profession—He cures Billious and Inflammatory Fevers, after a new method now in general and successful practice in Germany; Rheumatic Complaints, even those of long continuance; Venereal Diseases in a short time, without Mercury; Old Wounds.
His charges will be proportioned to the abilities of his patients.—His lodgings are at S. LITTLE'S Buck-street. Portsmouth, Sept. 11, 1804.
Artificial Rheumatic Bathing or Vapour Machine.
AS many of the inhabitants of this metropolis, and its environs, suffer greatly from rheumatic and other bone complaints, for the cure of which, many fruitless attempts have been resorted to, I thought proper to introduce a Rheumatic Bathing or Vapour Machine, now much in use in Europe, and flatter myself to remove with a degree of certainty, and in a short time, every species of Rheumatism, Lameness and Contractedness; also, Dropsical symptoms, and those complaints which originate from repelled eruptions, and the most disorders of the nervous system.
This Machine, by means of occasioning a wholesome perspiration, will also extract from the body, all mercuries in its natural form, that may have been too frequently applied in several diseases, and which produce pains in the bones and therefore often taken for Rheumatism, but in general originate from an imprudent use of Mercury. The method of this cure being an easy one for every person, and applicable in every season of the year, I hope to earn the satisfaction and confidence of the public. It has a remarkable effect upon those persons who make use of it, and it has been tried by men of the strictest veracity and honor.
The Bathing Machine is open at my lodgings every day from 9 in the Morning until 7 in the Evening.—Those persons, who with the use of the Machine, are requested to call an hour beforehand, in order to converse upon the subject of the complaint, and thereby to regulate and prepare the Machine. JOHN BREDOU,
Physician from Europe,
At Mr. LITTLE'S Buck-street.
N. B. The above Machine was some time since, and continues to be, put in operation at Boston, by Dr. Francis Adolph Aichmeier, formerly partner of J. B. by whom and the aid of the Machine, several critical cures have been made where every other medical aid had been tried in vain.

EIGHTH CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES, as the First Session begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the seventeenth of October, one thousand eight hundred and three.
AN ACT,
Making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana Territory, and for other purposes.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the powers vested by law in the surveyor general, shall extend over all the public lands of the United States to which the Indian title has been or shall hereafter be extinguished, north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi; and it shall be the duty of the said surveyor general, to cause the said lands to be surveyed into townships six miles square, and divided in the same manner, and under the same regulations, and to do and perform all such other acts in relation to the said lands, as is provided by law in relation to the lands of the United States, situate north west of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river: Provided, That the whole expense of surveying and marking the lines shall not exceed three dollars for every mile that shall be actually run, surveyed and marked: And provided also, That such tracts of land as are lawfully claimed by individuals within the said boundaries, and the title whereof has been or shall be recognized by the United States, shall be laid out and surveyed at the expense of the parties respectively, in conformity with due boundaries of such tracts. And it shall also be the duty of the said surveyor general to cause to be run, surveyed and marked, such of the Indian boundary lines of the said lands as have not yet been surveyed; and with the approbation of the President of the United States, to ascertain, by astronomical observations, the positions of such places north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi, as may be deemed necessary for the correctness of the surveys, and to be the most important points of the geography of the country.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the disposal of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi, in the Indiana territory, three land offices shall be established in the same, one at Detroit for the lands lying north of the state of Ohio, to which the Indian title has been extinguished; one at Vincennes for the lands to which the Indian title has been extinguished, and which are included within the boundaries fixed by the treaty lately held with the Indian tribes of the Wabash; and one at Kaskaskia, for so much of the lands included within the boundaries fixed by the treaty of the thirteenth of August, one thousand eight hundred and three, with the Kaskaskia tribe of Indians, as is not claimed by any other Indian tribe: and for each of the said offices a register and a receiver of public monies shall be appointed, who shall give security in the same manner, in the same sums, and whose compensation, emoluments, and duties, and authority, shall, in every respect, be the same in relation to the lands which shall be disposed of at their offices, as are or may be by law provided, in relation to the registers and the receivers of public monies in the several offices established for the disposal of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That every person claiming lands within any of the three tracts of land described in the preceding section, by virtue of any legal grant made by the French government, prior to the treaty of Paris, of the tenth of February, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-three, or of any legal grant made by the British government, subsequent to the said treaty, and prior to the
treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain, of the third of September, one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, or of any resolution, or act of Congress, subsequent to the said treaty of peace, shall on or before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and five, deliver to the register of the land office, within whose district the land may lie, a notice in writing, stating the nature and extent of his claims, together with a plot of the tract or tracts claimed, and may also, on or before that day, deliver to the said register, for the purpose of being recorded, every grant, order of survey, deed, conveyance, or other, written evidence of his claim; and the same shall be recorded by the said register, in books to be kept for that purpose, on receiving from the parties at the rate of twelve and a half cents, for every hundred words contained in such written evidence of their claim; and if such person shall neglect to deliver such notice, in writing, of his claim, or to cause to be recorded such written evidence of the same, all his right, so far as the same is derived from any resolution or act of Congress, shall become void, and forever be barren.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the register, and receiver of public monies, of the three above mentioned land offices, shall, for the lands respectively lying within their districts, be commissioners for the purpose of examining the claims of persons claiming lands by virtue of the preceding sections. Each of the said commissioners shall, previous to entering on the duties of his appointment, respectively, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, before some person qualified to administer the same, "I do solemnly swear, (or affirm) that I will impartially exercise and discharge the duties imposed upon me, as commissioner for examining the claims to land, by an act of Congress, entitled, "An act making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana territory, and for other purposes."
It shall be the duty of the said commissioners to meet at the places where the said land offices are by this act established, respectively, on or before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and five; and each board shall, in their respective districts, have power to hear in a summary manner all matters respecting such claims; also to compel the attendance of witnesses, to administer oaths, and examine witnesses, and such other testimony as may be adduced, and to decide thereon according to justice and equity, which decision shall be laid before Congress in the manner herein after directed, and be subject to their decision thereon. The said boards, respectively, shall have power to appoint a clerk, whose duty it shall be to enter in a book to be kept for that purpose, full and correct minutes of their proceedings and decisions, together with the evidence on which such decisions are made; which books and papers, on the dissolution of the boards, shall be deposited in the respective offices of the registers of the land offices; and the said clerk shall prepare two transcripts of all the decisions made by the said commissioners in favour of the claimants to land, both of which shall be signed by the said commissioners, and one of which shall be transmitted to the surveyor general, and the other to the secretary of the treasury; and the lands, the claims to which shall have been thus affirmed by the commissioners, shall not be otherwise disposed of until the decision of Congress thereupon shall have been made. It shall likewise be the duty of the said commissioners to make to the secretary of the treasury a full report of all the claims filed with the register of the proper land office, as above directed, which they may have rejected, together with the substance of the evidence adduced in support thereof, and such remarks thereon as they may think proper, which reports, together with the transcripts of the decisions of the commissioners in favour of claimants, shall be laid by the secretary of the treasury before Congress at their next ensuing session. Each of the commissioners and clerks aforesaid, shall be allowed a compensation of five hundred dollars in full
for his services as such; and each of the said clerks shall, previous to his entering on the duties of his office, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, to wit: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will truly and faithfully discharge the duties of a clerk to the board of commissioners for examining the claims to land, as enjoined by an act of Congress, intitled, "An act making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana territory, and for other purposes."
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That all the lands aforesaid, not excepted by virtue of the preceding section, shall, with the exception of the section "number sixteen," which shall be reserved in each township for the support of schools within the same, with the exception also of an entire township in each of the three above described tracts of country or districts, to be located by the secretary of the treasury, for the use of a seminary of learning; and with the exception also of the salt springs and lands reserved for the use of the same as herein after directed, be offered for sale to the highest bidder, under the direction of the surveyor general or governor of the Indiana territory, of the register of the land office, and of the receiver of public monies, at the places respectively, where the land offices are kept; and on such day or days as shall, by a public proclamation of the President of the United States, be designated for that purpose. The sales shall remain open at each place for three weeks and no longer: the lands shall not be sold for less than two dollars an acre, and shall in every other respect, be sold in tracts of the same size and on the same terms and conditions, as have been or may be by law provided for the land sold north of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river. All lands, other than the reserved sections and those excepted as above mentioned, remaining unsold at the closing of the public sales, may be disposed of at private sale, by the registers of the respective land offices in the same manner, under the same regulations, for the same price, and on the same terms and conditions, as are or may be provided by law for the sale of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river. And patents shall be obtained for all lands granted or sold in the Indiana territory, in the same manner and on the same terms as is or may be provided by law for lands sold in the state of Ohio, and in the Mississippi territory.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That all the navigable rivers, creeks and waters, within the Indiana territory, shall be deemed to be and remain public highways; and the several salt springs in the said territory, together with as many contiguous sections to each, as shall be deemed necessary by the President of the United States, shall be reserved for the future disposal of the United States; And any grant which may hereafter be made for a tract of land, containing a salt spring which had been discovered previous to the purchase of such tract from the United States, shall be considered as fraudulent and null.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the several provisions made in favor of persons who have contracted for lands, with John Cleaves Symmes and his associates, by an act intitled, "An act to extend and continue in force the provisions of an act intitled, "An act giving a right of pre-emption to certain persons, who have contracted with John Cleaves Symmes or his associates, for lands lying between the Miami rivers in the territory north west of the Ohio, and for other purposes," shall be and the same are hereby continued in force until the first day of June next: Provided, That the register of the land office and receiver of public monies at Cincinnati shall perform the same duties, exercise the same powers, and enjoy the same emoluments, which, by the last recited act were enjoined on or vested in the commissioners designated by the said act: And provided also, That no certificate for a right of pre-emption shall be granted, except in favour of persons who had, before the first day of January, one thousand
70 10 100 58 70 25 17 51
17/96/07/01 17/96/07/01 17/96/07/01

eight hundred, made contracts in writing with John Cleaves Symmes or with any of his associates, and who had made to him or them any payment or payments of money for the purchase of such lands; nor unless at least one twentieth part of the purchase money of the land claimed, shall have previously been paid to the receiver of public monies, or shall be paid prior to the first day of January next. And every person who shall obtain a certificate of pre-emption, shall be allowed until the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and six, to complete the payment of his first instalment: Provided also , That where any person or persons shall in virtue of a contract entered into with John Cleaves Symmes, have entered and made improvements on any section or half section prior to the first day of April last (having conformed with all the foregoing provisions in this section) which improvements by the running of the lines subsequently thereto shall have fallen within any section or half section other than the one purchased as aforesaid, and other than section number sixteen, such section or half section shall in that case be granted to the person or persons who shall have so entered, improved and cultivated the same, on payment of the purchase money agreeably to the provisions made by law for lands sold at private sale; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to give to any such person or persons a greater number of acres than he or they had contracted for with John Cleaves Symmes, as aforesaid.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That every person who may have heretofore obtained from the commissioners, a certificate of a right of pre-emption for lands lying between the two Miami rivers, on account of contracts with or purchase from John Cleaves Symmes or his associates, and who has paid his first instalment; and every person who may obtain a similar certificate by virtue of the preceding section, and shall, on or before the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and six, pay his first instalment, be permitted to pay the residue of the purchase money in six annual equal payments.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted , That fractional sections of the public lands of the United States, either north of the river Ohio, or south of the state of Tennessee, shall, under the directions of the secretary of the treasury, be either sold singly, or by uniting two or more together, any act to the contrary notwithstanding: Provided , That no fractional sections shall be sold in that manner until after they shall have been offered for sale to the highest bidder in the manner herein after directed.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted , That all the public lands of the United States, the sale of which is authorised by law, may, after they shall have been offered for sale to the highest bidder in quarter sections, as herein after directed, be purchased at the option of the purchaser, either in entire sections, in half sections, or in quarter sections; in which two or more together, in the manner herein after directed. And in every instance in which a subdivision of the lands of the United States, as surveyed in conformity with law, shall be necessary to ascertain the boundaries or true contents of the tract purchased, the same shall be done at the expense of the purchaser.
Sec. 11. And be it further enacted , That no interest shall be charged on any instalment which may hereafter become due, in payment of any of the public lands of the United States, wherever situated, and which have been sold in pursuance of the act, intitled "An act to amend the act, intitled 'An act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States, in the territory north west of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river,' or which may hereafter be sold by virtue of that, or of any other act of Congress: Provided , That such instalments shall be paid on the day on which the same shall become due; but the interest shall be charged and demanded in conformity with the provisions heretofore in force, from the date of the purchase, on each instalment which shall not be paid on the day on which the same shall become due: Provided however , That on the instalments which are or may become due before the first day of October next interest shall not be charged, except from the time they became due until paid; but in failure to pay the said instalments on the said first day of October, interest shall be charged thereon in conformity with the provisions heretofore in force from the date of the purchase.
Sec. 12. And be it further enacted , That the sections which have been heretofore reserved, and are by this act directed to be sold, also the fractional sections classed as by the ninth section of this act directed, and all the other lands of the United States, north of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river, shall be offered for sale in quarter sections, to the highest bidder, under the directions of the register of the land office, and of the receiver of public monies, at the places respectively where the land offices are kept, that is to say: the lands in the district of Chillicothe, on the first Monday of May; the lands in the district of Marietta, on the second Monday of May; the lands in the district of Zaneville, on the third Monday of May; the lands in the district of Steubenville, on the second Monday of June; and the lands in the district of Cincinnati, on the first Monday of September. The sales shall remain open at each place no longer than three weeks; and the lands which may be thus sold, shall not be sold for less than two dollars per acre, and shall in every other respect be sold on the same terms and conditions, as is provided for the sale of lands sold at private sale. And all the other public lands of the United States, either north of the Ohio, or
south of the state of Tennessee, which are directed to be sold at public sale, shall be offered for sale to the highest bidder, in quarter sections: Provided however , That section number twenty-six, in the third township of the second fractional range, within the grant made by the United States to John C. Symmes, on which is erected a mill dam, is hereby granted to Joseph Vanhorne the proprietor of the said dam; and also that section number twenty-nine of the second township of the fourth entire range be granted to James Sutton, and also that section number twenty-one of the ninth township of the twenty-fifth range be granted to Christian Van Gundy on their payment of the purchase money, agreeably to the provisions made by law for lands sold at private sale.
Sec. 13. And be it further enacted , That whenever any of the public lands shall have been surveyed in the manner directed by law, they shall be divided by the secretary of the treasury, into convenient surveying districts, and a deputy surveyor shall, with the approbation of the said secretary, be appointed by the surveyor general for each district, who shall take an oath or affirmation truly and faithfully to perform the duties of his office; and whose duty it shall be to run and mark such lines as may be necessary for subdividing the lands surveyed as aforesaid, into sections, half sections, or quarter sections, as the case may be, to ascertain the true contents of such subdivisions; and to record, in a book to be kept for that purpose, the surveys thus made. The surveyor general shall furnish each deputy surveyor with a copy of the plat of the townships, & fractional parts of townships contained in his district, describing the subdivisions thereof, and the marks of the corners. Each deputy surveyor shall be entitled to receive from the purchaser of any tract of land of which a line or lines shall have been run and marked by him, at the rate of three dollars for every mile thus surveyed and marked, before he shall deliver to him a copy of the plat of such tract stating its contents. The fees payable by virtue of former laws for surveying expenses shall, after the first day of July next, be no longer demandable from, and paid by the purchasers. And no final certificate shall thereafter be given by the register of any land office, to the purchaser of any tract of land, all the lines of which shall not have been run, and the contents ascertained by the surveyor general or his assistants, unless such purchaser shall lodge with the said register a plat of such tract, certified by the district surveyor.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted , That from and after the first day of April next, each of the registers and receivers of public monies of the several land offices established by law, either north of the river Ohio, or south of the state of Tennessee, shall, in addition to the commission heretofore allowed, receive one half per cent, on all the monies paid for public lands sold in their respective offices, and an annual salary of five hundred dollars, the register and receiver of the land office at Marietta excepted, the annual salary of whom shall be two hundred dollars. And from and after the same day the fees payable by virtue of former laws, to the registers of the several land offices, for the entry of lands and for certificates of monies paid, shall no longer be demandable from, nor paid by the purchasers of public lands. And it shall be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to cause, at least once every year, the books of the officers of the land offices to be examined, and the balance of public monies in the hands of the several receivers of public monies of the said offices to be ascertained.
Sec. 15. And be it further enacted , That from and after the first day of April next, the fees heretofore payable for patents for lands, shall no longer be paid by the purchasers. And it shall be the duty of every register of a land office, on application of the party, to transmit, by mail, to the register of the treasury, the final certificate granted by such register to the purchaser of any tract of land sold at his office; and it shall be the duty of the register of the treasury, on receiving any such certificate, to obtain and transmit, by mail, to the register of the proper land office, the patent to which such purchaser is entitled; but, in every such instance, the party shall previously pay to the proper deputy post master, the postage accruing on the transmission of such certificate and patent.
Sec. 16. And be it further enacted , That the President of the United States shall have full power to appoint and commission the several registers and receivers of public monies of the land offices established by this act, in the recesses of congress; and their commissions shall continue in force until the end of the session of congress next ensuing such appointment.

FEDERALISM vs. the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
The cackling of a goose once saved the Roman Capitol. The Citadel of American Freedom may yet be preserved by the same stupid alarms. The cases in one respect, however, are not parallel. The web-footed animal, which alarmed the Roman sentinels, belonged to the Roman camp. But the invaders of our rights seem to have scattered throughout their ranks a set of cackling creatures, who disclose, from mere stupidity, every plan, and by their foolish zeal, disconcert every movement.
That the end and scope of federal designs is the introduction of a monarchical system of government, has been proved in many different ways, and by various and plenary evidence. The leaders of the faction are clearly convicted of a predilection for monarchy, unless, like the Inquisition, we require confession as indispensable to conviction. If this be the case, they are safe. Confession could be extorted only by the rack, and republicans are too generous to torture wretches already under the operation of an internal, earthly purgatory. The letters of John Adams, the repeated declarations of Tracy and Allan, the avowal of monarchical principles in the Port-Folio, the extensive and exclusive federal patronage given to that paper; these and many other similar circumstances, reader the fact undoubted and certain. But, in addition to these high authorities, a careful observer will frequently trace in the minor federal prints, a blanderising discolouration of attachment to the British government, even amidst all the affected and professed predilection for our National constitution. These underling Editors always remember the end of their labors but frequently forget the means , and carelessly disclose the secrets which their masters so artfully conceal.
We are led into these remarks, by observing a discolouration of this kind in the Boston Gazette . In an article respecting the celebrated Dr. Price, we find these remarks:
"The Doctor had once written a pamphlet on America , in which he said how HAPPY the persons in that country were about to become without LORDS, without BISHOPS, & without KINGS . He lived long enough to see the FALSEHOOD of his prediction, and in a subsequent pamphlet, acknowledged, into what a MIS-TAKE his too good opinion of mankind had led him."
Really! Messrs Russell and Cutler—You merely believe it a " falsehood ," and a " mistake ," that the " people of this country " can be " happy without Lords, without Bishops and without Kings ." But how happens it, that you profess so much regard and esteem for that constitution which gives a sanction to this " falsehood " and " mistake "—that constitution which provides that " no title of nobility shall be granted by the United States ?" That constitution which you love and revere so much and at the pretended danger of which your wailing and weeping exceeded those of Rachel for her " first born "—this constitution says that we must be " happy without Lords ," or not at all. But this same dearly beloved constitution further declares that " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ." We must live " without Bishops ," too it seems. Now Messrs. Russell & Cutler, as it is impossible for you to be " HAPPY ," here, suppose you emigrate for the island of Britain, where you may be plentifully supplied with Lords and Bishops, and enjoy all the blessings of a Kingly government . (National Register.)
For the GAZETTE.
Messrs. PRINTERS. WHO could read the nomination of RICHARD CUTTS, in your last Gazette, without feeling indignation at the manner in which it was written? Can it be necessary to appreciate one candidate, by attempting to depreciate the other? Why, or on what condition, has DANIEL CLEAVES been called " an obscure individual ?" Does it constitute obscurity to be as much known, and as well acquainted with the county of York, as any citizen of the county? Does obscurity consist in having acquired an honorable independence in trade, by industry, integrity and fair dealing with his fellow-men? Does it consist in advancing the interest and happiness of the county? Or does it consist in being respected in the capital of our State, and in other great commercial towns, as a citizen in whom unlimited confidence may be placed as a merchant and as a man? If the meaning of the word is included in either of the above questions, then he is " obscure indeed ,"—if in the reverse, the effusion under the signature of " WALLS ," is foolish and groundless . It
is true, that DANIEL CLEAVES has never been in our State. Legally, neither has he ever figured at Congress—But it is equally true, that he has often been solicited, and has been chosen a Representative for the town of Biddeford—The situation of his family, and his then supposed declining state of health, induced him to decline the honor of his election. It is not true, that he " is totally unacquainted with our public concerns ."—His property having given him leisure, and he possessing an inquisitive mind, eager for information, he has embraced the opportunity so fortunately afforded him; and perhaps no man in the county of York is better instructed on those national questions which immediately concern and involve our interest and happiness, than himself. And it may be asserted as a truth, that his acquaintance with commerce and agriculture is unvalued in this county. —It is not true, that RICHARD CUTTS will have " the unassisted suffrages of the friends of the present Administration ."—Those citizens who are in opposition to RICHARD CUTTS are as firm republicans, as inflexibly attached to the present men and measures, as those who advocate him; and have done as great things for the good and interest of our common country, as any of his adherents. It is not true, that DANIEL CLEAVES' nomination " is a deception set on foot by the federalists ." It is real—it is founded in fact, that a large and respectable number of republicans in the District of York, will give their undivided support for DANIEL CLEAVES, Esq. of Biddeford, for Member of Congress, on the fifth Monday of November next.—Have not they a right? Who can deprive them of this privilege? We are all born free, and the right of suffrage has been purchased with treasure and cemented with blood—and GOD grant that every American may ever possess, and have independence to effect this great and distinguished characteristic of freemen. DANIEL CLEAVES has been considered, under the existing situation of our country, the best man to be chosen as a Representative to Congress for the District of York. Does it follow, fellow-citizens, because you have given your suffrages once, YET , TWICE , for a MAN, that you must again delight to honor him? Put your hands on your hearts, and ask yourselves one solemn and important question—what right or what preference has Richard Cutts over Daniel Cleaves? We challenge any or all of those who advocate Richard Cutts to give one good and efficient reason why he should be re-elected. This is not a question that involves federal and republican principles. It is a question of men—We believe Richard Cutts and Daniel Cleaves both to be republicans. Yet if there is a choice of good things, every wise man will take the best. The friends of Daniel Cleaves ask, urge and solicit an examination of the character, the talents, the information, and the worth of this " obscure individual ," and we do not hesitate to declare, that the more he is examined, the more he will be respected, and rise in the estimation of his fellow-citizens. You may weigh him in the balance, and he will not be found wanting. The election of Daniel Cleaves will add to the republican respectability of our NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. Honor to the county of York, and credit to those citizens who may unite their suffrages in his support.
TRUTH.
For the GAZETTE.
To the Republicans of York County.
Fellow-Citizens. THE time draws near when you will be called upon to exercise one of the most important privileges which belong to you as citizens of a free government—The right of electing your rulers, is the fundamental principle which guarantees your rights and immunities; but this valuable privilege is reared its worth, like every other thing that is precious, to be used with caution and discretion. It is not wantonly to be sported with, nor foolishly abused. To these observations you will all subscribe; they appeal not to your passions, but to your reason—Yet while we boast of rights and liberties, and while we maintain the position that there is intelligence and virtue in the people to reward merit, to discard vice, to detect vicious men, and to spurn the unprincipled designing hypocrite, who, to aggrandize himself, would divide and then govern us. We will not disguise truth, but will lament that at times, from an honest credulity, we are sometimes imposed upon by wolves in sheep's clothing, but holding the means they are generally exposed, and we but for a short time remain the dupes of those whose designs are hostile to freedom.—Whether they call themselves federalists, or sneak in among us under the specious appellation of republicans, then, Burr like, divide us.
Republicans have been accused by their enemies of ingratitude—it is said to be the vice of republicans; but to us, citizens you will not allot, from what you have seen. Was HANCOCK deserted, or SAMUEL ADAMS neglected? No—they were both honored and confided in until their deaths; and few, if any, of those who flood by the people in times of danger and distress, but the people have honored, while they respected their rights, and faithfully discharged their duty. Merit is as generally rewarded in republics as in monarchies. As these impressions are, it is concluded, deep in your minds, I would beg leave to recommend to you your faithful and well tried friend, the Hon. RICHARD CUTTS, Esq. as the most suitable person to represent you in the next Congress. You have tried, and found this gentleman faithful to your interest, and in no wise deviating from the principles of republicanism. He need only to be named, and we think a grateful country will hail him as a faithful, experienced, and suitable person to again represent this District. His character for his abilities good, the advantage of a liberal education, and a sound, undeviating republican; not to merely by profession, but declared to after repeated trials and examinations—Not the mere mushroom patriot of the moment, whom no one heard of yesterday; but the man unto whom every true and grateful republican will lay, "you deserve well of your country—we knew you in 1782—you shall not be deserted in 1804."
YORK DISTRICT.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
From the Natchez Herald, of Aug. 14.
By a gentleman arrived here yesterday, from the neighbourhood of Bayou-Sarah, we have been favoured with the following information, "that Mr. Nathan Kemper, with a party of about 30 men, with colours flying and horns sounding, marched from the neighbourhood of the line of demarcation between this territory and West Florida, on the 7th inst. against Baton Rouge; on their way they made prisoners of John O'Connor, Esq. (an alcade) and Capt. Pintedo and Terry."
They arrived on the following morning about day light, near the fort. The Spanish commandant, (apprized of their intentions) had posted a picket of 18 or 20 men, who hailed the party as they approached; they immediately answered by a volley from their rifles, which dispersed the Spaniards two of whom were observed to fall.
Kemper returned on the following day, with his party to the Bayou-Sarah; he has established head quarters near the house of a Mr. William Cobb. —The following is an exact copy of a paper which is posted up at the quarters of Kemper, and at several other places through the country.
FOR A PEOPLE TO BE FREE it is sufficient that they will it; we the undersigned, citizens of West Florida, senatus these presents greeting:
WHEREAS, the despotism under which we have long groaned, has grown into an insupportable burthen, and as it is long since admitted, men are born with equal rights, we the undersigned, inhabitants of that part of the dominion called West Florida, have resolved to throw off the galling yoke of tyranny, and become FREE MEN, by declaring ourselves a FREE and INDEPENDENT PEOPLE; and by supporting with our lives and property that declaration, and we do by these presents invite our fellow sufferers throughout the province aforesaid, to repair to the standard to aid in the effecting our common emancipation; we pledge ourselves solemnly to each other, and to our fellow men interested in the events; to avoid as far as practicable the effusion of blood (save that of our common enemy,) and in all cases shall private property be held sacred. So soon as our emancipation is effected we will offer ourselves to some government accustomed to freedom.
Those who set up in opposition to our operations for the purpose aforesaid will be received as our common enemy, the enemy of mankind and of liberty, and will be treated accordingly.
Given under our hands on the fourth day of the line of demarcation, in the province aforesaid, this first day of Floridian Freedom.
NEW-YORK SEPT. 17.
By Capt. Hiller, of the ship Centurion, from Confladt, we are informed that on the day he failed the Russian fleet, consisting of 11 sail of the line and four frigates, were ready for sea. An officer of one of the ships of war informed Capt. H. that they had received orders to sail for England. The Russian troops had been lately under a more strict discipline, and from the movement it was expected they would soon be called into service. Capt. H. has brought dispatches from Mr. Harris, the American Consul.
A letter received by a merchant of Philadelphia, states, that Mr. Pinckney our Minister at Madrid was to leave that city on the 29th July, having sold all his furniture, and engaged the necessary voitures or calesas, to carry him to the sea port town, whence he was to embark for America.
Our advices from Natchez are far from being of a pleasant complexion. A turbulent and dangerous spirit seems to animate a class of people residing on the Mobile river, composed as it would seem of French and Americans, who have threatened to possess themselves of several fortified places, and the adjacent territory. Already have they been in motion for this purpose in considerable force and fears are entertained, that, owing to the exposed and defenceless state of that country, they will accomplish their object.
British Equality.—It is a fact that the town of Old Sarum, in Wiltshire, England, which, though once a considerable place, is now reduced to a single farm house, sends two members to the British Parliament while the city of Edinburgh, containing upwards of one hundred thousand inhabitants, sends only one. This is one of the numerous specimens of the excellence of that constitution of government, which Mr. Adams calls "the most stupendous fabric of human invention."

Portsmouth
TUESDAY, SEPT. 25, 1804.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
BY the ship Sally , capt. Webber , of Bolton , we have been favored with English papers to the 13th of August.
The affairs of Great-Britain wear a very disastrous complexion. The infolent Premier is going all lengths to establish himself in power, but notwithstanding all the energies of his government (and he is the father of that sanguinary system, which it has been fashionable with our Royal Faction to call energy) there is an evident sentiment of horror, among the people, toward him and his measures. He contrived, by his secret influence with the elder branches of the royal family, to eject poor Mr. Addington from office, whose only criminality, in the eyes of the nation, was his obsequiousness to Pitt. In the change there is but little alteration of governing policy, only that the present Minister is the more violent of the two: it is the king log succeeded by King Stork ; how it will terminate, is a secret that no human sagacity can discover.
It appears, by letters from Plymouth, that Ganteume has escaped from the outward road of Brest , with four sail of the line and five frigates. Vice-Admiral Graves had intelligence of the event, a few hours afterwards, and failed in pursuit of them, with six sail of the line and two frigates. The destination of Ganteume is not known; the probability is, that he is going to Ferrol or the Straits , or to make a dash upon the British East-India fleet .
The election for a member of Parliament for Middlesex , has terminated in the most shameful manner. The candidates were Sir Francis Burdett , and Mr. Mainwaring ; the former had a considerable majority, yet the Sheriffs made a return in favor of Mr. Mainwaring . No act of a government was ever supposed to be more atrocious in principle than this; but it is a la Pitt , and that is saying enough upon the subject.
Ireland is in a state of frightful iniquitude to the British ministry. The miserable wretches in Dublin , are starving by groups—their wages not being equal to their exigencies. The following is a fragment of a letter from that unhappy country, copied from the Courier of August 11th, a ministerial paper—"We are sorry to say, that the spirit of combination among the working people, in Dublin , has not been repressed by the recent example made of some of the ring-leaders—[this example means the hanging a few undone, poor creatures, who would not starve in legal silence]—instead of that, the combination is almost general, among shoemakers, tailors, bricklayers, &c.; but Scottish mechanics will be invited over, and every encouragement given. The increase of wages is not their great object, but increasing the spirit of disaffection to the Government."
There has been a meeting of the merchants of the city of London , at the Mansion-House , to consider of the best means of contributing to the expeditionary conveyance of troops, in case of invasion by the terrible soldiers of Bonaparte ; whose very name, in England , concentrates every idea of horror—not to the people, but to the luxurious & worthless Aristocracy , whose fears emanate in their abuse.
We have attentively perused these papers, and are consoled, in some degree, to observe that none of the wiles of the British cabinet have been able to inveigle any of the Continental Powers into a participation of their career of blood. The Centinel of Saturday, seemed to brood with a furious delight over the slimy possibilities that were presented by a London , paper of another national alliance with England , in her present desperate state of offence and defence. It is fortunate for the cause of mercy, that Russia and Austria are not so willing to draw the sword of extermination, as the enemies of humanity would desire; and, whether this forbearance arises from policy or apprehension, is of little moment, while the carnage is withheld.
FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
EVERY Congressional Representative in North Carolina is correctly republican; and, of course, warmly attached to the measures and principles of the present Administration.
In South Carolina , Mr. Loundes a federalist, has declined being a candidate; probably from despair of being chosen.—Thus Republicanism is every where advancing, to the South, with erect and majestic mein.
In New-York and Pennsylvania , the most important of the middle states, opposition is at an end; and the triumphal party is consequently at full leisure to indulge their little personal jealousies, to the mutual discredit of their managers.
In New-Hampshire , a very small majority has appeared in favor of the "federal ticket." The superior activity of its leading men, has accom-
plished this momentary advantage. The federal representatives chosen in that state are of very little political weight or consequence.
To the Southward of Connecticut , every thing is in perfect security; Jacobinic minorities decreasing and Republican majorities increasing. But the economy of Connecticut , it is said, is deserving of praise. Very true; and it will be found, on enquiry, that every enlightened proposition, as to schools and other useful institutions, has originated with the Jeffersonian republicans in that ecclesiastical State; and not one of them with the federal party. For we firmly believe, if it had not been for these disciples of the "new school," that the funds now applied to the encouragement of education would have been diverted to the support of an established clergy.
Chronicle.
A letter to the Editor, from Lenox , Berkshire County , states, that from the returns heard of from towns in that vicinity, no doubt can be entertained of the choice of Col. Simon Larned , of Pittsfield , as representative to Congress, for that District, in the room of the Hon. Tomson J. Skinner , Esq. resigned. The election was on Monday last. Col. Larned is a firm and undeviating Republican, and an intelligent and honest man.
(Eggs.)
The monarchists among various vile endeavours to frustrate the election of members for Congress, resorted to their old practice of lies and misrepresentations—when men make assertions they should be fortified with facts to substantiate them.—This is the invariable rule of republicans—to prove that the "Concord Courier," "Waltham Museum," "Dartmouth Gazette," "Keene Sentinel," & "Portsmouth Oracle," is fixed with a Monarchical lie. Peruse the following COPY.
To the Printers of the Oracle Post— SIRS,
HAVING observed in your paper of the 4th of September last, a publication over the signature of 'Veritas' wherein it is wickedly attempted to bring the State Legislature into disgrace in the eyes of the People. I think it a duty I owe to the public and to the truth, to disprove the assertion therein made—that I, 'on the first trial,' at the last session of the General Court, voted for Mr. Peabody , as State Treasurer—and I do therefore testify and declare that I did not vote for Mr. Peabody as Treasurer, in June last.
JACOB PEASLEE. Kingston, Sept. 20, 1804. This day the said Jacob Peaslee , Esq. made solemn oath to the truth of the above, by him subscribed— Before THO'S PACE , Justice Peace.
REPEALED TAXES.
The flagitious Centinel tells us, that "all men of discernment know that these taxes must be supplied by others," and that "they were repealed not to diminish taxation, but to shift it upon the northern or commercial interest." This, he says, "is a diminution of taxes with a vengeance," and calls it " Virginia republicanism ," Virginia influence , to enfeeble and render contemptible the northern States: As though the northern States were all commercial men, and their Farmers of no consequence; though the facts are, that their Farmers, are the most numerous and respectable body of citizens, and their interests the same with the Farmers of Virginia : add to this, it is certain that the taxes on commerce are eventually paid, to the full of their quota, by the farmers, mechanics and labourers, who purchase of the merchants at their prices. Nothing then could be more rational, than that the commercial citizens, (but a handful in comparison with the others,) should be subject to the taxation which the Centinel would represent as unjust, and who can by his misrepresentations, blind none but the weak of the federal party, and those who, not giving themselves the trouble to reason, take every thing for truth asserted by the federal writers.
The Middlesex Farmer in the Centinel , is exceedingly generous to the federal party, in including them in the great body of the people, as equally with them friendly to a republican government. 'Tis a deadly friendship. It is true, as he observes, yet it is no wonder that the late administration made mistakes, the greatest of which was that of scheming to render the American government similar to, or rather more tyrannical than the British.
As to our President's being invested with a despotic power over Louisiana , we know of no power he has there of that nature, or any other over them, than what he holds from the people of the United States, and not for himself; and this by their will, and not his own; through necessity, and not self assumption of power.
Why should the Massachusetts Farmer imagine remarks about the extension of executive power, &c. might be more sparingly applied to the late ad-
ministration, if the charges against it are just? that they are so, is universally known. As to the Farmer's remarks about flourishing and increasing commerce, and other matters of his reprehension, he would do well to consider them more closely, and argue about them more conclusively.
We should not hear so much about emigrants to our country, to poison our morals and undermine our government, were they to lift themselves under the federal banner, it would then be the federal cry, that it must be inhuman to deny them an asylum here, and they would be hailed welcome to the American shores.

BEST Isle of May

For the N. H. Gazette. An ADDRESS to the BAPTISTS. No. IV. Friends & Brethren,
The fourth kind of government I proposed to mention to you, is Democracy . This means a government of the people; or a government where the power is in the whole, instead of a few. This is the only kind of just government on earth. It is an agreement of the whole, where one binds himself to all, and all are bound to one. In this kind of government, the legislative , cannot act in the judicial nor executive department : and the judicial and executive cannot act in the legislative . This makes it a government of laws, and not of men. The man who knowingly opposes this kind of government, is a real enemy to mankind, and wishes to be a tyrant. In such a government, religion is not a part of the constitution, but is a matter between God and man. This is the government of the UNITED STATES, which the federalists say all manner of evil against. In this government, those in authority are chosen by the people, and are in office at their pleasure; where a man chosen by the people acts in the capacity of a legislator one year, and knows not but the next he must come under the law he has made, he will be likely to make such laws as he would wish to submit to himself. In this way we have a greater prospect of just laws, than where men make them, and never expect to submit to them. From the days of Constantine to the present time people have thought there must be in all constitutions something about religion: The constitution of our country is an exception to this. Our beloved President is the man, who has proved that the magistrate has nothing to do in enforcing articles of faith; for this he is branded as a deist by those who say Religion is in a consumption. That religion which is upheld by human laws, is inferior to the law which supports it, and therefore is not the religion of Christ; but is the religion of Anti-Christ.
Though there is yet the remains of Monarchy , Aristocracy and Hierarchy in this country and though contrary to the constitution of this State, five men have been put in Portsmouth jail of late for not paying money to support Mr. Minister of Newington, and though some others have been robbed by the collectors; yet your privileges are great under democracy ; for you now have a right to worship God according to the dictates of your own way, and none can stop it; and it ought to be mentioned to the praise of those in authority in Portsmouth, that when the people called baptists were disturbed in their worship by the lewd fellows of the baser sort, the Magistrate gave judgment against them, and sentenced them to a fine, as disturbers of the peace. Under Hierarchy the baptists for meeting to worship, were themselves fined, imprisoned, banished, and were put to death. Blessed be God that we live under such a government as this, where we have laws made that men shall not do wrong. Remember my brethren, the unspeakable blessings you enjoy under democracy , and ever believe that those who oppose such a government, oppose your real good; and that if you are enemies to such a government you are enemies to your children, and the rights of your fellowmen. Adieu:— A Friend to civil and religious Liberty.
A London paper of July 7th, has the following article: "On Wednesday, a number of respectable American gentlemen met at Grove-house, Camberwell, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of the independence of the United States.—A grand discharge of cannon took place on the occasion, and there was, previous to the breaking up of the company, a brilliant display of fire-works.—A number of appropriate toasts were given in the course of the evening, and among the rest the health of the American President was drunk with great enthusiasm. Among the company present were Mr. Munroe, the American minister, and Mr. Erving, Consul General for the United States. The whole business was conducted with the utmost cordiality, and the company parted in perfect friendship at an early hour."
