Political Miscellany.
From the Political Observatory. To John C. Chamberlain, Thomas W. Thompson, Esq. Esq.
Honorable Sirs, I have perused in the "Concord Courier," and "N. Hampshire Sentinel" a letter written by you, or some of your junto, purporting to be "a sketch of the proceedings of the first democratic legislature of New Hampshire." You will excuse my unceremonious bluntness, if I pronounce it, without much preamble or circumlocution, pointedly and unequivocally a tissue of mean insinuations, gross misrepresentations, and detestable falsehoods, and that I will prove it such on the floor of the legislature at their next session. You may therefore prepare yourselves for a defence, for you shall either substantiate the truth of your statement, or acknowledge yourselves guilty of publishing to the world, knowingly and wilfully, a base libel upon the legislature. For the present I shall content myself with the noticing, by way of correction a few out of the great variety, of the most glaring misrepresentations.
It is not true, as you insinuate, that Messrs. Nicholas & Nathaniel Gilman were instigated by "resentment" to form a "connection with persons inimical to their family," hostile to the town of Exeter, and decidedly in opposition to the professed politics of one of these brothers." For it is a fact that Nicholas Gilman has always acted decidedly and unequivocally with the republicans, and Nathaniel after a discovery of the views of the federalists, openly, honorably, and independently refused some years ago, to lend his countenance and support in favor of their iniquitous measures, and has since supported with firmness and spirit the measures of the general government and those of its friends in New Hampshire.
It is not true, that the Messrs. Gilmans passed with the federalists for any other than republicans. And their conduct which has been highly honorable to themselves, did not lose them the confidence of the federalists, for they did not enjoy it. With republicans they are esteemed and respected; your assertions to the contrary notwithstanding.
It is not true, that the remarks on the treasury accounts, which appeared in the Political Observatory last winter, was a "wicked, malicious and slanderous publication," or arose from dishonest or improper views; for it is clear that had the report of the committee, who examined the treasurer's books, been divested of "obscurity," it would not have been necessary for the legislature to have appointed a new committee for re-examining them. And certainly if the Report was so plain and intelligible, as is pretended, some of the treasurer's political friends
might have explained it through the medium of the new-papers to the public satisfaction. Your remarks upon the editor of the Observatory, and the ingenious comparison which you have drawn between him, and the "infamous Marat of France," are mean and contemptible.
It is not true, that the Governor, "in his many and patriotic address" to the legislature on taking the oath of office, expressed his determination to pursue the "federal system, even though his foes should be those of his own house." No such expression is to be found in the Address, altho' you might have selected expressions equally improper. His assertion, that "extraordinary exertions have been made, not only within but from without the state, to prevent his election," was highly indecorous, if not untrue.
It is not true, that Mr. Peabody was, as you state, "really elected treasurer," and you will be called upon to produce evidence in support of the assertion. Your statement of the votes given of the first balloting is erroneous and unsupported by fact. Your assertion, that "several members, who voted for Mr. Peabody the first day, did not vote for him the second day," is incorrect, Mr. Frink being the only member who voted for Mr. Peabody at the first and for Mr. Gilman at the last balloting. 88 votes were given for Mr. G. at the first trial, and 90 at the last; Col. Waldron, who took his seat in the senate after the first trial, and Mr. Frink make the two votes which were necessary to produce the final result. You are challenged to produce the list of "the 85 members" who, you say, have "given their names on paper, or have declared that they voted for Mr. Peabody at the first trial." They cannot be produced. Your insinuation, "of a criminal intention" in Mr. Morrill, who charged Mr. Chamberlain with putting in two votes, at the first balloting for treasurer, is ungenerous and unmerited. Mr. Morrill's character for veracity is too well established to be injured by any effusions of yours in endeavouring to exculpate your friend. You shall have a farther opportunity to explain upon the subject of the three votes in November next.
It is not true, as you assert, that the legislature, in their Resolves complimentary to the administration of the general government, "promised to approve whatever it might do." Your distortion of those resolves is unmanly.
It is not true, as you state, that Col. Langdon declared that "had Mr. Burr been elected President, the state of Virginia would have declared war against the government."
It is not true, as you basely insinuate, that Mr. N. Gilman's election as Treasurer "was the price at which his principles were bartered." How long will you continue to abuse men who from principle and a sense of duty refuse to countenance and support the unjust measures of your party.
Your statement respecting the public printing is not true. The facts are substantially these, that while the house had under consideration the resolutions of the senate and the petitions of various printers, a federal member moved in committee, that the printing should be given to the person who would do it for the lowest sum. Mr. Hough in his propositions offered to print the laws and journals for 10 per cent, less than heretofore, provided he could have the printing of the non-resident advertisements. Mr. Melcher offered to do it, for 35 per cent, less, and the Messrs. Peirces, printers of the N. H. Gazette, offered to do it at 45 per cent less, which were the lowest terms offered: consequently the motion of the federal gentlemen prevailed and the Messrs Peirces obtained. Your boast of federal impartiality is void of foundation, for it was but at the last fall session, that the leaders of federalism exerted their utmost influence to take from the Messrs. Peirces the printing of the non-resident advertisements & give them to Mr. Hough, but did not succeed. The editor of the N. H. Gazette, when that paper was federal had the printing of the laws and journals as well as of the advertisements, but when the paper was transferred to republican hands the printing became a party question, and the laws and journals were given to Mr. Hough of the Concord Courier.
the limited circulation of the Courier was the only reason that the printing of the advertisements was not also taken from the Messrs. Peirces, and given to Mr. Hough.
It is not true, that intrigue or any any undue influence, was attempted to be practised upon "young members," and you & the whole federal "school" are challenged to produce one single instance.
Enough has been selected to shew that you have designedly misrepresented the views and actions of the majority of the legislature without any regard to truth, honesty or decorum. The next and last time, you hear from me, shall be upon the floor of the house of representatives.
A Member of the Legislature.
The family consists of three brothers, John Taylor, Nicholas and Nathaniel. The two last are united in principles and measures; of course they, being a majority, constitute the family, and the governor, who is opposed to them, is consequently acting in connexion with persons inimical to the Gilman family.
FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE. It is useful, amusing and instructive for a people who value their national institutions, to carry back their minds occasionally to the men and measures, by which they were obtained.
In the debates in the Massachusetts Convention, on the adoption of our National Constitution, from page 61 to 69, there is some choice reading, that would not come amiss to the citizens of this state at this particular time.
On the 17th and 18th of January, 1788, we had the most unreserved and unequivocal testimony of a King, a Gosham, a Dana, a Dawes, a Gore, a Parsons and a John Coffin Jones, all in favour of that feature of the Federal Constitution, which directs that "Representative and Direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several states, according to their respective numbers which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, three fifths of all other persons."
Mr. King said this article was adopted because it was the language of ALL AMERICA.
Mr. Gosham thought the proposed section much in favor of Massachusetts.
Messrs. Gore, Parsons, and John C. Jones, spoke of the advantage to the Northern States this rule of apportionment gave to them.
The Hon. Judge Dana expatiated twice on the subject.
But above all, the first paragraph of the speech of Col. Dawes on this occasion, is worthy of particular attention.
Mr. Dawes said he was sorry to hear so many objections raised against the paragraph under consideration. He thought them wholly unfounded; that the black inhabitants of the Southern States must be considered either as slaves and as so much property, or in the character of so many free men; if the former, why should they not be wholly represented? Our own state, laws and constitution would lead us to consider those blacks as FREE MEN, and so indeed would our own ideas of natural justice. If then they are free men, they might form an equal basis for representation as though they were all white inhabitants. In either view, therefore, he could not see that the Northern States would suffer, but directly the contrary. He thought, however, that gentlemen would do well to connect the passage in dispute with another article in the constitution, that permits Congress, in the year 1808, wholly to prohibit the importation of slaves, and in the mean time to impose a duty of ten dollars a head on such blacks as should be imported before that period. Besides, by the new constitution, every particular state is left to its own option totally to prohibit the introduction of slaves into its own territories. What could the convention do more? The members of the Southern states, like ourselves, have their prejudices-It would not do to abolish slavery by an act of Congress, in a moment, and so destroy what our Southern brethren consider as property. But we may say, that although slavery is not smitten by an apoplexy, yet it has received a mortal wound, and will die of a consumption.
Is it not enough for us, that the Southerners make them slaves? Do we desire also that they should be sunk to

beasts? Because proprietors have consented to curtail them of two fifths of their humanity, will free men, with men of feeling and piety in Massachusetts insist that they shall be blotted from the record of heaven? Because their incessant labors are devoted to the culture of the earth, does it follow of course that the agriculture of our country is nothing benefited by their toil? Will we value ourselves on our commerce, and not allow any consideration to those who furnish the means of all our commerce and all our boating?
It was a tribute to the honest prejudices of this portion of our Union, that the southern portion consented to consider a slave as only three fifths of a man; if we insist on annihilating him altogether, the transgression will be heavy on our own heads, and we must look to the consequences.
Shall that trumpeter which has found the notes of Union, and led the vanguard of freedom, become the tocsin of discord, and hurry us into that slavery which we so abhor, even to look upon?
Our Washington has told us—and it would be truth if he had not—that our National Constitution is the best anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad: of our prosperity, of that very liberty which we so highly prize. It is the ark of all our hopes; and the apportionment in question is the main prop on which the fabric rests—knock away this, and we are all afloat on the wide ocean of confusion, without rudder, compass or sail; left at the mercy of wild waves without, and the more uncontrollable wildness of the passions within.
INFORMATION WANTED.
The Editor of the Citizen has thoughts of writing, at his leisure, a Biography of General Hamilton.—This would comprise a history of our federal politics.
It has been frequently asserted (and I have joined in the assertion) that General Hamilton proposed in the convention in which the federal constitution originated, a plan of government of a monarchical nature . If this be true, its truth ought to be known; if false, its falsity ought to be established. This is due to the memory of the deceased. Authentic information by letter (post paid) will be thankfully received.
Editors of Newspapers throughout the United States inclined to expose this monarchical scheme, if it was introduced into the convention as aforesaid, or to refute the slander, if it was not, are requested to give this paragraph one or two insertions in their respective papers.
GENERAL HAMILTON.
Of this distinguished character, the fall has been so sudden and unexpected, and attended with circumstances so afflictive to a numerous family, that his most decided political adversaries have acquiesced in the general sympathy excited by his fate, and suffered him to be lamented and eulogized throughout the country without a murmur. But his friends, inadvertently taking advantage of this benevolent forbearance, have gone over the extremest bounds of reason in their panegyric on the deceased, and extolled him to such a degree as to wound the feelings and slander the good fame of the living. He is represented unequivocally as having been the greatest and best man in the United States at the time of his death, and as being a loss to our country beyond the power of the present generation to repair. And this libel on a Jefferson, a Madison, a Gallatin, &c. &c. we perceive ourselves perfectly justifiable in repelling, though at the expense of derogating from this factitious reputation General Hamilton has so suddenly obtained.
In doing this we would remark that we allow in their fullest extent his transcendent abilities at the American bar, where we are not prepared to say he has left his equal. We admit him to have been a masterly orator, an honest counsellor, an able soldier, financier and statesman, and an accomplished gentleman: and this is all we can admit.
His political, his moral, and his religious principles and conduct, we must take the liberty decisively to condemn. We cannot approve the advocate for monarchy, national debts and standing armies, nor the professed duellist and contest adulterer. When his system of "strong government," as proposed in the federal convention, and the various political measures he has devised or supported since the ratification of the constitution to the disbanding of the late "provisional" army, his affair with the Reynolds family, his letter to president Adams, and the repeated duels in which he has engaged when these things are forgotten, then may we submit to hear the nation virtually traduced in his unqualified eulogies. In regard to the duel in which he fell, we cannot see that its preparatory circumstance redound more to the honor of him than of Col. Burr. We know that he has
been in the habit of sending challenges deferring the issue by evasive letters, (some of them almost verbatim with his correspondence to Col. Burr) and coming off without fighting: and therefore in the character of a duellist he has failed to maintain consistency and spirit. As to his last declaration that the practice was contrary to his moral and religious principles, we must view it as proceeding from a weakness or hypocrisy totally unworthy of the great mind he was believed to possess. To commit to writing as it were a dying testimony against duelling in the evening and the next morning to march to the field of combat, forms a contrast between precept and example incapable of reconciliation.
From the preceding considerations it must appear that the loss of Gen. Hamilton, though certainly much to be lamented by his friends and the profession to which he belonged, with the admirers of eloquence and abilities in general, is most certainly a subject of no regret to the republican, the moralist or the christian. The constitution of the United States, says his reverend eulogist,* is "not such as he wished it." It follows that he would omit no opportunity of endeavoring to change it to that "more energetic form" which accorded with his high-toned ideas. To the republican administrations of our country he was a most decided and powerful enemy. He is gone, and we have more reason to rejoice than mourn. He has fallen in that field to which he has called so many others; "he died as a fool dieth."
These observations are drawn from us by the officiousness and misguided zeal of Gen. Hamilton's advocates, who have imposed on the amiable sympathy which lamented his fall, by indulging in unrestrained and exclusive panegyric on his character, and outraged justice in defaming the able & virtuous who survive him. Whether our motives justify our conduct let the public decide.
*Dr. Mason.
WASHINGTON'S POLICY, Imitated by Jefferson, and condemned by Federalists.
The Federalists affect to despise Mr. Jefferson's particular regard to economy, in his public transactions. They call it parsimony , niggardly policy , &c. Now the fact is, in this very same system of economy, may be observed a striking resemblance to the policy of Washington, such as he exercised both in the field and in the Cabinet. In the communications of that gentleman, especially at the commencement of the war, every letter of his to Congress dwells particularly upon the advantage and necessity of economy, in every department of the army, and suggests frequent improvements, as conducive to a frugal and saving system. The federalists profess unbounded reverence for Washington; yet they condemn Mr. Jefferson for that very conduct which formed a striking feature of Washington's character!!! It is astonishing that any person of ordinary ability can remain blind to such absurdities!
Federal Consistency. —It is strange, that the federalists are now execrating Mr. Burr, when they were so anxious to choose him President, instead of Mr. Jefferson. Ever since the Republicans had become jealous of Mr. Burr's power, the federalists have been his friends. Mr. Otis, in particular, delivered as honorary eulogium in the last legislature in praise of Mr. Burr, as he has since given Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Otis was as pathetic in representing the behaviour of the Republicans in suspecting the integrity of Mr. Burr, as he was in deplored the fate of Hamilton. He declared that he preferred Mr. Jefferson, and that he would have voted for him as President, till his right arm fell from his shoulder, if there had been the least prospect for effecting his election.—How inconsistent are such declaimers! it shews how far party spirit influences the conduct of a few heated federalists. It is requested, that Mr. Otis would have his speech in the last legislature, in honor of Mr. Burr, printed as it would be a proper Appendix to his late Eulogy!
The State of Vermont and Rhode Island are established in Republicanism.—New-Hampshire also is republicanized. Even the Province of Maine has attained to a republican majority. And the people of Massachusetts in general are awaking from their federal slumbers. If every republican will individually do his duty, as an elector, this Commonwealth will, within a year harmonize with the national government, in the great system of republicanism.—Sun.
The subaltern leaders of federalism have been lately observed to be unusually warm and violent. This is the natural effect of desperation. Like an ancient federalist, mentioned in sacred history, they have great wrath, because they know that their time is
short. Indeed their struggles appear to be the very spasms of political dissolution. Every benevolent man must with them, as a party, an easy death and a decent burial.—ib.
Constitutional Amendment RATIFIED.
KNOXVILLE, (Ten.) JULY 27.
"This forenoon the Legislature of this State, by the Unanimous vote of both branches, passed the Act, ratifying the Amendment proposed to the Constitution of the United States."
Glorious triumph!—The decision of Tennessee has secured, and we trust permanently established, the political safety of our Republic. No longer will faction or intrigue storm the fortress of Republicanism with the least possible degree of success. It is but for the friends of equal rights and privileges to come forward in the majesty of their strength, and lank indeed will appear the scattered remnants of the fallen party.—That Mr. Jefferson will be re-elected President, and that by more than three-fourths of the votes, scarce admits of a doubt. What then will be the result?—the oppositionists have nearly exhausted and worn thread bare their woeful strains of "Jacobin infidelity," "Virginia Influence," "Mammoth Cheese," "Mammoth Loaf, Salt Mountain," "Black Sall," and a thousand other ridiculous aims at witticism, which has brought their authors and promulgators into contempt. If an opposition continues hereafter, it will only be of that kind, which, while it excites laughter for their folly, will warn us to keep a degree of watchfulness over them, and not by our apathy suffer their party ever to regain a political preponderance.
The writer of this article was at the seat of government in March, 1801, when the contested election of President and Vice-President was in agitation, and an eye witness to the fanaticism of that day.—Scarce ever was the folly and wickedness of a disappointed party more conspicuous than on this occasion: The federal prints and pamphlets were distributed in every quarter of the District of Columbia, painting in the most glowing colours the merits of Mr. Burr and his superior fitness for the office of Chief Magistrate; while with the same zeal they endeavoured to detract from the talents of Mr. Jefferson. This was a sort of farico-tragico scene;—for two or three days did the federal members continue in this state of opposition and insurrection against the best interests of their country, and what they knew to be the will of by far the greater majority of their constituents. Mr. Nicholson, a member from Maryland, was even carried to the floor of Congress on a sick bed, to oppose this desperate scheme, by his vote. During this period the government was in embryo.—The inflexible firmness of the Republican members, however, at length, overcome these machinations, and by their ( the federalists ) throwing in blank votes, Mr. Jefferson was elected.
By this discriminating system of election for President and Vice-President, (which by receiving the sanction of two-thirds of the States is incorporated as a part of our Constitution,) will the intrigues of our political enemies be blasted forever. (Democrat.)
The "Federalist," after noticing the establishment of despotism in France, exultingly adds—"So the Democratic jig is wound up in France!"—And so, it might have been added, would "the Democratic jig have been wound up" in this country, had not the People ordered our Federal musicians to "turn the tune," and made JOHN ADAMS dance off to Braintree.—Had Mr. Adams held the reins of Government four years longer, his conduct screened from investigation by a Sedition Law, his enemies subjected to banishment by an Alien-law—the common people impoverished by numerous and heavy taxes—the "nobility" enriched by getting eight or nine per cent a year for their money, or offices in the collection of taxes, in the Army, the Navy, the Judiciary, &c. —while the President and his satellites were surrounded, and their measures enforced by a Standing-Army , (the instrument of Bonaparte's usurpation) under the command of a Hamilton—the world would undoubtedly have been astonished with an imitation of that "most stupendous fabric of human invention," the British Government, or an experiment of one still more "strong and energetic," like that to which the French nation has submitted. Then indeed would the "jig of Democracy have been wound up," and the world have become a gloomy prison from which every free-born soul would have sighed for emancipation.—but thanks to that Power whose out-stretched arm rescued America from British domination, the counsels of our enemies were confused, their designs frustrated and we remain the only FREE and HAPPY People on the globe we inhabit.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Cathcart, late Consul of the United States at Tripoli, to Mr. Cathcart, their Commercial Agent at Marseilles dated Leghorn, May 11, 1804.
"The government of Naples has sent to sea two large frigates and four corvettes to guard their coast and annoy the Tunisians, should they put to sea this summer. A seventy-four gun ship is fitting out with all expedition, and will be manned with the crews of the corvettes, which are recalled for that purpose. The seventy-four and two large frigates will be kept continually at sea, so that if the Tunisians do declare war against this force will be of infinite service to us until a reinforcement arrives from the United States. I have likewise procured from the government of Naples the loan of four large gun boats, artillery, mortars, bombs, ammunition and every apparatus complete. The boats are ready for sea at Messina, and an order was forwarded to the count Tourne, or in his absence to the governor of Messina, to deliver them to Commodore Preble upon demand before I left Naples, and to render him every service in his power."
A letter dated Tripoli, 4th of April, mentions that the crew of the Philadelphia were in good health, that the officers had received permission to ride occasionally in the country, accompanied by a Dragerman; but they were not allowed to visit the Consuls.
New-York, Aug. 18.
Ship Eugenia. —This vessel, owned by one of our citizens, was recently captured, at the Hook, by one of the British armed ships which have so long blocked up our harbour. Her captors sent her for Halifax. On her way she was re-captured by the Americans left on board, and carried safe into port.
Mr. Lang informs us, in his Gazette of yesterday, that the English captors of the Eugenia have entered a plea for the restoration of the ship and cargo, upon the ground of the illegality of the re-capture by American citizens, and that Col. Barclay, the English Consul General, has drawn up a representation of this business, and forwarded it to Mr. Merry, the English ambassador, now at Philadelphia."
We should suppose this paragraph to have been written by the English Consul General himself; at any rate the intimacy which subsists between this gentleman and Mr. Lang, precludes all doubt of its correctness.
I do not pretend to know in what the claim of the re-captured Eugenia will result, but I may safely say that it exhibits as clear and indisputable a case of gross insult as the annals of British naval insolence can furnish. British ships invest our harbour, capture our vessels in our own waters, and when re-captured by the prowess and ingenuity of our own tars, we are prosecuted in our own courts! Citizen.
Aug. 20.—By one of the Gentlemen who arrived here in the ship Protector from Cetté, the following additional information respecting the action between a part of the Squadron under the command of Lord Nelson, and a detachment of the French Toulon fleet, has been received at Philadelphia:—
"On the twenty-third of May three British ships of the line attacked a fort at a small distance from Toulon; this daring conduct induced the French admiral to detach eight sail of the line and a frigate in pursuit of them. After the British ships had decoyed them fairly out of port, and had gotten them to a suitable distance from the shore, they engaged the headmost ships of the French fleet, and continued fighting until dusk, when three additional ships, belonging to Lord Nelson's fleet hove in sight, and passed between the shore and the stern-most of the French ships."
"In this situation were the two fleets when our informant passed them. The wind was then blowing so hard from off the shore (and continued so for two days) that there was no possibility of the French fleet returning to Toulon. The action commenced about 3 o'clock P. M. and it is supposed that all the ships were engaged in the middle of the night, as very heavy firing was then heard. The result of this conflict he was unable to learn."
(Br AUTHORITY.)
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
In the year of our Lord, on thousand, eight hundred and four.
An Act directing the mode of balloting for, and appointing Electors of this State, for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That the Inhabitants of the several Towns and Plantations, and places in this
State, qualified to vote in the choice of Senators for the State Legislature, shall assemble in their respective towns, plantations and places, on the First Monday in November next, to vote for seven persons, inhabitants of this State, who shall not be Senators or Representatives in Congress, or persons holding Offices or profit or trust under the United States, to be Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States, and the Selectmen of the towns, plantations and places, shall give fifteen days notice of the time, place, and design of such meeting; and the meeting shall be governed by a Moderator, chosen for that purpose, who shall impartially preside, and with the Selectmen, whose duty it shall be, to attend at such meeting, shall receive from all the inhabitants of such towns, plantations and places respectively, present and qualified as aforesaid, votes for such Electors, and shall in open meeting, sort and count the same; of all which the Clerk of such town, plantation, or place respectively, shall make a fair record in the presence of the said Selectmen, of the name of every person voted for, and the number of votes against his name, and a full and fair copy of such record, shall be made out, and attested by the Selectmen or Clerks respectively, and sealed up and directed to the Secretary of the State, with a subscription expressing the purport thereof, and transmitted by said Town Clerks to the Sheriffs of the respective Counties to which they belong, within seven days after said meetings, or to the Secretary's Office, on or before the twenty-second day of November next; and the several Sheriffs shall, on or before the said twenty-second day of November next, transmit to the Secretary's Office, all votes that shall be in manner aforesaid transmitted or delivered to them: And the respective Sheriffs and Clerks aforesaid, shall be liable to the same penalties for neglect of the duties enjoined on them respectively by this act as they are liable to by law for the omission in transmitting the votes of Governor and Senators for this State, and that the Secretary shall, on the twenty-third of November next, lay the same before the Senate and House of Representatives in convention to be by them examined and counted; and in case there shall appear to be any, or the full number, who have a majority of votes the person or persons having such majority of votes, shall be declared Electors, provided, that not more than seven persons have such majority; but in case more than seven persons shall have a majority of votes, then those seven persons, who have the highest number of votes, shall be declared Electors; but if there shall be any, or the whole number having such majority, the Senate and House of Representatives in convention as aforesaid, shall cause to be made out a list of the persons not chosen, having the highest number of votes, equal to double the number of Electors wanted, and if in making out such list, it shall happen, that two or more persons voted for, have an equal number of votes, which number is also high enough to entitle the candidate a place in said list, the names of such persons shall be put into a box, and the Secretary, not being one of the candidates, shall, in presence of said convention, draw the number wanted to complete said list, from which list said convention shall elect by ballot, the number of Electors wanted, and the person or persons having a majority of such votes, shall be appointed and declared Electors.
And be it further enacted, That in cases where the Secretary shall be a candidate, and his name shall be put into the box as aforesaid, said convention shall appoint some other suitable person in his stead, to draw out the name or names of the person or persons, in manner herein before directed.
And be it further enacted, That his Excellency the Governor of this State, be, and he hereby is requested to cause the several persons who may be chosen Electors to be seasonably notified of their appointment, and request their attendance at Concord, on the First Tuesday of December next, at ten of the clock in the forenoon.
And be it further enacted, That the Electors chosen as aforesaid, shall meet at said Concord on said First Tuesday of December, and by twelve of the clock of mid day of said First Tuesday of December, give notice to the Legislature, of the number of Electors present, who accept of said trust, and if from such notice, it shall appear, that seven Electors are not all then present, and accept of said appointment, the two Houses of the Legislature shall then immediately meet in convention, and by joint ballot elect the number wanting to complete said board: And if any person chosen as Elector, on said First Tuesday of December, shall not then attend and accept of said trust, said convention shall then immediately proceed as aforesaid, and choose others to supply such vacancy.
And be it further enacted, That the Electors chosen and appointed as aforesaid, shall give their votes for President and Vice-President of the United States, at Concord, on the First Wednesday of December next, and shall proceed to transact and do all the duties incumbent on them as Electors, in manner prescribed by law.
And be it further enacted, That his Excellency the Governor be, and he hereby is requested seasonably to issue precepts to the several towns, plantations, and places within this State, directing them to notify and hold meetings on said First Monday of November, for the purpose of voting for Electors as aforesaid.

FROM NEW-YORK.
By the ship George, Capt. Simpson, in 45 days from Greenock, the editors of the New-York Gazette have received Glasgow papers to the 23d of June, containing London news to the 20th. We perceive nothing of importance in them.
A letter from Greenock, dated the 15th of June (received by the ship George) mentions that an expedition was fitting out in England to carry 70 thousand troops to Hanover.
JUNE 18.—Last night two Hamburg Mails arrived; those due on Sunday the 10th and Wednesday the 13th inst. The two most prominent articles relate to the departure of the Emperor of Russia to Revel; and to the close attention paid by the Archduke Charles to the business of the war department of the Court of Vienna.
JUNE 20.—A French squadron was said to be at the Brazils, supposed to consist of those ships that slipped out of Rochefort.
Another Russian officer arrived in town on Monday. He came through France and Holland, and met Mr. Livingston, at Rotterdam, on his return to Paris on Friday last. The vessel in which he came, brought some private letters, one of which contains the following extracts of a communication received by a gentleman at Antwerp from his brother at Boulogne, who is employed in the armament destined for the invasion of this country:—“All the horses, forage, and heavy artillery, are embarked. We wait only the arrival of the Generals. I shall not therefore, write you again from hence; and probably I may never behold you more.” We see no reason to doubt the facts here stated.
It was reported yesterday, we know not upon what authority, that a person had arrived from the Continent with overtures of peace.
Glasgow, June 23.—Mr. Pitt's defence bill was on Tuesday without a division read a third time and passed. Extract of a letter received in Greenock, dated on board the Argo, at Spithead, June 17.
“I have now the satisfaction to acquaint you of our arrival here, after a round turn of six months, last from Cadiz, with a freight of five hundred thousand dollars, on account of merchants in London. You will no doubt be surprised to hear of Elsi Bey's fate after all the expense and attention cast away upon him at home. Having landed himself and suit, on the 14th of February, at Rosetta, mouth of the Nile, to proceed up to Cairo, and in daily expectation of hearing of his arrival there, as also, the receipt of the presents to be sent home, we were astonished to hear of his being pursued going up the Nile, by some of the other Bey's (and Albanian soldiers lately revolted from the Pacha of Alexandria) and very near losing his head, but effected his escape to a shrub encampment, by scattering some loose jewels that he had about his person, among the soldiers, which took up the Barbarians' attention long enough to serve his purpose. The last intelligence we heard of him, before we failed from Alexandria, was, that five or six Bey's were in pursuit of him in the desert, and little hopes entertained of his being able long to conceal himself from their search. This circumstance is less to be regretted, as he was very much in the French interest, which his people has declared upon oath, since made prisoners; whose lives have been spared, at the particular request of Major Miffet, our Consul at Cairo, by Osman Bey, the present chief of the Mamelukes, a man very much in the British interest.”
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 21.
Yesterday Arrived at the Wallabout, Ship Little Cornelia, Capt. Harrison, from France.—The Little Cornelia, was captured off the Hook some time since by the Leander, and sent for Halifax; but Capt. Harrison, mate and cook, (who were left on board) boldly retook the Ship on the 8th inst and carried her to New-London. There were eleven Englishmen on board, including two officers. The means used in retaking the ship were, to privately secure the fire arms and cutlasses of the captors, and drive them below, which was effected without injuring any person on board.
The little Cornelia, has brandy &c. to John Jubel (owner.)
Yesterday a committee of the Missionary Society, consisting principally of distinguished clergymen, had an interview, at the city hotel, with the chiefs of the Otago tribe of Indians, to whom they presented a Bible, together with an address, the object of which was to inform them, that this good book contained the will and the laws of the Great Spirit. The king, in reply to the committee, assured them that he received the present with great thankfulness—that he would convey it to his nation, and preserve it with care; but as neither he nor his people could read it, he
begged that some good white man might be sent to instruct them: that hitherto he had been blind, but now his eyes were opened; that he saw we were a great and a good people, and he hoped we would always live in friendship together.

EUROPE.
We have no late accounts to present to our readers this week.—The Prussian and Austrian Courts, it is said, are highly pleased with the news of the Empire of France. The naval armaments of France continue—the troops are disciplined for war, and have the disposition for immediate action. —On the other hand, the defence of the Island of Great-Britain, is still continued; and England was preparing a military force to act abroad, and opinion had assigned Hanover as the scene of their operations. Mr. Pitt's offensive and defensive measures, had produced much “talk” in England.
The subject of invasion renewed.
FROM LONDON, JULY 4.
The following is given in a Morning Paper as an Extract of a private Letter from Paris, dated June 18:—Bonaparte intends next week to set out for the Coast; and as he is to return before the 14th of July, the common belief here is, that, should wind and circumstances permit, something will be undertaken before that period.
“The day before yesterday, extra-couriers left this city for Holland, Boulogne and Brest, with orders for our naval Commanders to seize the first opportunity of putting to sea, and coure qui coure , land in England, as many troops as possible, so that, before the coronation ceremony, an invasion and victory may be announced.
“Our Brest fleet is nearly as numerous, & the Texel fleet not much inferior to the English blockading fleet. —But both in our fleets and flotillas, are some chosen ships, containing picked and desperate crews called enjamber-dus , who as an advanced guard, are to try to create confusion among their enemies, by boarding &c.; and, by it, permit the remainder of their fleets and transports to escape, & to land their troops in England. Every man of these crews, who survives, is to be created a member of the Legion of Honour, and to receive a pension.
“On board these ships are, besides combustible matter, of a new composition, which are said to be inextinguishable.
“According to what I have heard in conversation with the French Naval & Military officers, the Brest fleet is intended to invade the West; the Texel fleet the East; and the Boulogne the South of England. As to Ireland, they said, it would fall by itself, if they were victorious in Great-Britain.
“These particulars are no secrets here, but talked of in our first informed societies.”
FROM SUMATRA.
By Capt. Halkett, at Salem, we have intelligence of the English taking possession of the port and town of Muca, (Sumatra) with a force consisting of a ship of 20 guns, one of 16, one of 8, one of 6, and one of 4, and between 3 and 400 Sepoys, after an action of 6 hours, in which the Malays lost 53 men, and the English 20. This was on the 14th of April.
FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
We learn that Commodore Preble had failed to Messina, with his squadron. 4 bomb-vessels, and 4 large gun-boats, which Mr. Calhoun, the late Consul at Tripoli had borrowed of the King of Naples; for the bombardment of Tripoli. The squadron, we also hear, was in good health and spirits.
Several vessels have recently arrived in the United States from Martinique; the blockade of which is said to have raised.
It is said Thomas Cooper, Esq. of Pennsylvania, has undertaken to write the life of Dr. Priestley.
An Anecdote—FOR THE FEDERALISTS.
The hard names which the Federal Editors are continually calling the Republicans, such as Jacobins, Infidels, Disorganizers , and the like—which names they certainly deserve much more than the Republicans do—remind us of the following anecdote:
Two gentlemen of the city of Bath having high words at a Coffee house, one of them was seen the ensuing morning taking the mean revenge of chalking “a rascal” upon the street door of his opponent. The latter afterwards called at his house, and was informed by the servant that his master was not at home, but asked if he would leave any message for him. ‘No,’ replied he, ‘you may tell him I merely called out of compliment, having been informed that he left his name at my door yesterday morning.’
The leaders of the monarchic faction in this country are evidently envious at Bonaparte for his succeeding, in an object, which they attempted before him, but failed of obtaining.
TOWN MEETING.
Monday, August 27th—the inhabitants of this town assembled to exercise the high and important privilege of giving in their suffrages for five Members to represent this State in the Congress of the United States.

GEO. WENTWORTH, T. CLK. Portsmouth, August 27, 1804.
The agitation of a petition in Louisiana, to congress, praying a further extension of the freedom of our form of government to the citizens of that country, is noticed with marked exultation, as a very serious business reflecting much on the government that obtained that territory; but we had considered it in a very different point of view, we had considered as a matter to be exulted in that they should be fond of freedom and a representative government,—which is what they seek—and they seek what our government is willing to extend to them and what would be gradually extended without any petition. It is worthy of remark that those who exult at an apprehended difficulty from men at one end of the union seeking an increase of blessings under our government, are perfectly silent or publicly applaud, the arguments and efforts of men at the other end, to dissolve the union.

COMMUNICATION.
THE MEDICAL REPOSITORY AND Review of American Publications on Medicine, Surgery, &c.
The Periodical Publications of this country have generally been marked by a national deficiency. Much is always promised by them, and they usually come into the world with their brightest appearance. Little, however, is performed, and they gradually sink into contempt and are relinquished as impracticable and unprofitable.—So notorious has been this fact that a “ Profecus ” is even yet regarded as an object of suspicion.
We are however pleased that one work of this description has escaped itself from the general stigma, and given real reputation to the Country. The Medical Repository is conducted by gentlemen of skill and science; and with its present resources, with the same discernment and industry which have hitherto distinguished its progress cannot fail of being a valuable addition to a medical library as a general deposit for the rare and useful discoveries, in the science to which it is confined; it comprises the researches and experience of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons in this country.—Descriptions of local diseases, new methods of cure, inventions and improvements of surgical instruments, and every means of facilitating the practice, and preserving the most invaluable blessings of life which this country has yet afforded, may be found collected in this work. Its merits have risen, as it has been more widely circulated; and being now beyond the depressing influence of “want of patronage,” its future merit cannot be doubted.
Connected with the professional department is “the Review of American publications on Medicine, Surgery, and the auxiliary branches of science.” This will assist the practitioner in obtaining a correct view of the state of his profession, and direct his judgment in the selection of useful and necessary publications. This part of the work is managed with ability and discernment, and bears the traits of candor and impartiality.
Subscriptions for the above valuable work are received at the Bookstore of THOMAS & WHIPPLE, Market square, Newburyport, where medical and other gentlemen may obtain it, immediately after the publication of each number, on the same terms as of the Publisher in New York, 50 cents per Number.

NOTICE.
THE subscriber begs leave to inform his friends and customers, that he still continues in his line of business;—altho' his House is a little remote from the centre, yet he still hopes for a continuance of favors from his former customers, and those gentlemen who travel in the stages can be accommodated with lodgings, &c. as the drivers of the Stage will carry passengers where they wish, as he can entertain them in as genteel a manner as at any other Inn, or Boarding House in Portsmouth, and at as cheap a rate.
Three or four Gentlemen can be accommodated with Boarding at a moderate price by the week, month, or year, by applying to the subscriber. JAMES A. GEDDES. Pitt-Street, Portsmouth, 28 August 1804.
SERIOUS NOTICE.
THE subscriber presents his humble acknowledgments to his good customers and the public in general on his route, for the many favors he has received from them. He likewise informs them that he expects to bring his business to a close in the line of a Post Rider on the thirtieth of September next; and as it will be indispensable necessary for him to settle his accounts before he leaves the route, on account of his living at a remote part of it, he therefore requests his customers, who are indebted to him for newspapers to make preparations to balance their accounts previous to the twentieth of September next, which will enable him to balance accounts with his creditors. He flatters himself that none will neglect this reasonable and friendly notice. If there should be any such, they cannot think themselves injured if they are called upon by an Attorney. No excuse can be received. STEPHEN WORTH. August 28 1804.

Miscellaneous Repository.
From the Boston Weekly Magazine. TO L**Y. CEASE, cease, my L**y, to avow, Friendship is all you can bestow: Ah! do you think I can approve Such coldness, such Platonic love? Friendship's nor mirth, sweet ardor glows, Nor pleasing soft emotion knows: Those who celestial joys would prove, Must yield, my fair, must yield to love.
For the GAZETTE. An ADDRESS to the BAPTISTS. No. 1.
Friends & Brethren, A certain anti-republican writer has appeared of late, in the Concord Cour- ier, and Portsmouth Oracle, to inform you that your religion is in danger of being o- verthrown; by those who are friends to De- mocracy;—the government which you in general believe, is of God; I feel bound to state to you what your brethren have met with under Monarchy, Hierarchy, Aristo- cracy, and what you now enjoy under a De- mocratical government; that you may learn to reject such pretended marks of friendship as those give, who would overcome you by flattery; and that you may ever be firm sup- porters of a government, where all men are free and equal. The first government un- der which your brethren have, and do suf- fer, is Monarchy, or a kingly government. This is a government where one man has the whole command of all the rest; or in other words, where the King does as he plea- ses, and all the people do as he says.
Leaving all other kingly governments where the Baptists have suffered, I shall no- tice only one, which is the English.—This is called a limited monarchy, the king of En- gland is to limited, that he can prevent a bill from passing into a law; his person is sacred, and inviolable, and he cannot in the eyes of the law, do wrong. What must in- nocent men and women expect under such a government, if they dare to differ in sen- timent from the King and Parliament?—The history of the Baptists, shows what they re- ceived. The first persons who were bap- tized in England, according to the scripture rule, and who on that account were called Baptists, was more than one hundred years ago. There were four persons baptized, two men and two women; soon after this they were taken by authority, the two men were tied together, and the two women, and all of them were thrown into the river and drowned! One Baptist minister was taken out of his pulpit, and sentenced to stand upon the gallows two hours, for preach- ing in a place the king did not approve of. One Baptist minister stood in the pillory two hours, for publishing a book against in- fant baptism and kingly religion. Some were burnt alive, some were confined in thir- king dungeons, till they died; their goods were confiscated; their wives and children left in distress, begging from door to door; some were banished, suffering every cruelty an absolute wretch could inflict. This cru- elty was not confined to England, it extend- ed to this country which was then under a monarchical government. In Charlestown, the Baptists were imprisoned, for holding a meeting in a private house, contrary to the law of the King; after this, they were sentenced to banishment, for not conform- ing to kingly religion—and because they would not quit the Country, they were confined in Boston goal nearly a year, and then were sent out to fight the Indians; af- terwards, they built a meeting-house in Bos- ton, which was pulled up by order of the court, and a law made that if any house was built without leave from the kingly authori- ty, or, if any such already built should be occupied, the land and house should be for- feited!—In 1708 a Baptist minister by the name of Holmes, was whipped 39 lashes, for preaching in a private house without leave of the minister of the parish, who had "his maintenance from the king's palace." In Hampton a Baptist minister was driven out of town by a mob, for preaching there con- trary to Monarchy. In New Hampshire their goods were taken away by force, and they confined in jail. At the present day the Baptists are not allowed to preach in a private house in England without leave from the King; and they are only tolerated while they are obliged to pay tithes to a stupid par- ish priest; and when they are allowed to sup- port their own ministers after the king has bound this heavy burden on them, to sup- port the devils cause.
My brethren, can any of you wish for such a government as this? can you think that your friend, who tells you that you are in danger from a government exactly opposite to this?—So long as King JESUS is our lawgiver, let us never with for another. While delivering men are endeav- ouring to revive the faded dying cause of mon- archy, under the name of Federalism; let our hearty prayer to the King of Glory be; "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven." A friend to civil and religious liberty.
Singular Fact?—The following extra- ordinary fact we relate on authority of: Some years ago, a gentleman of the name of PAYNE, belonging to a Public Office, & lately deceased, mar- ried a young lady of Cheapside. The Father, as it is termed, who gave the Bride away, was named HEAVEN; and it singularly turned out, that the Bride-maid, who attended on the oc- casion, was named DEATH. The names of the parties then stand in the Register as follows: Payne, Death and Heaven. [London Courrier.]

SPARHAWK & CURTIS. JUST RECEIVED, direct from the Pa- tenteer, and for sale in Portsmouth by CHARLES PIRCE, a fresh supply of DOCTOR COOLEY'S VEGETABLE ELIXIR, or COUGH DROPS.
AREMEDY far exceeding every other yet used, for Consumption, Asthma, Spitting of Blood, Coughs, Short- ness of Breath, and every other species of disease to which that organ of life, the lungs, is perpetually exposed. Complaints of the lungs have always been considered the Opprobria Medicinæ, (or reproach to the art of phyic) and it has long been a desideratum in Medical Science, that a remedy might be devised, which should check this wide outlet to human life. The many thousands which yearly fall a sacrifice to this insidious disease, Phthisis Pulmona- lis, or Consumption of the Lungs, has ever since my acquaintance with diseases (which is almost thirty years) to excite my com- miseration, that a large share of my time has been employed in investigating the cause and cure of it; and from my most unremitting attention and constant research, I have the happiness to proclaim to the world, that in my Vegetable Elixir, a speedy, safe, and effectual remedy is generally to be had.
It is not pretended that this medicine will cure every disease to which suffering hu- manity is liable, as is the case with most patent medicines; diseases which are as completely opposite as an acid and an alkali, they will assert, are all to be cured by one simple remedy. Such weak impetitions have with much propriety brought most patent drugs into disrepute. But the Ve- getable Elixir is calculated for one class of diseases only, viz. those to which the lungs are exposed, and I need not observe that they terminate in consumption. The pre- cursors or harbingers of this hitherto in- tractable malady (until the discovery of the Vegetable Elixir) are Spitting of Blood, Pains in the Breast and Sides, Coughs, Dif- ficulty in Breathing, and a great number of complaints, which slender and delicate fe- males are so frequently labouring under, which if attended to immediately on their commencement, will easily be obviated; and those in the last stages will be much alleviated; and many of them radically cured. Price 75 cents a bottle. Portsmouth, June 6, 1804.
