Political Miscellany.
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A VIEW
Of the relative STRENGTH OF PARTIES in the United States in the years 1800 and 1802.
IT is asserted in the Federal prints that since the commencement of the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson, the republican party has been losing ground, and that the loss sustained by them is so great as to create a probability that the next Presidential election will restore the government to the Federal party. This declaration is made in a great variety of shapes, accompanied by much slander cast upon the present administration. It is not my intention to repel calumny by the ordinary weapon that is made use of for that purpose. I should feel myself degraded were I capable of insulting the public with the language of a blackguard or the falsehoods of a liar. I shall, on the contrary, in as plain language as I can, state facts, and trust to the good sense of my readers to make the proper inferences.
I know no fairer criterion of the relative strength of party at the close of the year 1800, than the votes then given for President and Vice-President. That election was one of great interest, called forth the entire strength of party, and respects intimately the point, so warmly disputed, whether the present President has or has not lost the public confidence. It has been said by the federalists that some of the electoral votes given to Mr. Jefferson were not the result of a fair expression of the public will, which was in such cases decidedly in favour of his predecessor, Mr. Adams. This is not believed: But if true, it would, by operating to the diminution of the strength of the republican party in 1800, exhibit, on comparison, a proportional increase in 1802, and would of course in this view, as far as it went, produce a conclusion unfavourable to the Federalists. In making a comparison between the two proposed periods, we shall exhibit the result of the political strength of each state, first by the number of votes given in 1800 to Mr. Jefferson; secondly by stating from the best existing authorities, the votes that would be now given, were an election to take place.
The votes given for President and Vice-President at the close of the year 1800, were as follows:
   Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 16  Rhode Island 4  Connecticut 9  Vermont 4  New-York 12  New-Jersey 7  Pennsylvania 8  Delaware 3  Maryland 5  Virginia 21  Kentucky 4  Tennessee 3  North Carolina 8  South Carolina 8  Georgia 4  Federal 73  65  
Majority in 1800 8 Were an election of President to take place now, under the new Census, the votes would stand as follows:
   Republican. Federal.    New Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 19  Rhode Island 4  Connecticut 9  Vermont 6  New-York 19  New Jersey 8  Pennsylvania 20  Delaware 3  Maryland 6  Virginia 24  North Carolina 10  South Carolina 10  Georgia 6  Kentucky 8  Tennessee 5  Federal 129  44  
Majority 85 Or nearly three votes to one. That this statement is as correct, as any one which is hypothetical can rea-
sonably be expected to be, will appear from the following exposition.
With regard to, New-Hampshire, the whole votes being given to the federalists, there can be no controversy.
Massachusetts and Connecticut—the same.
Rhode Island, the election being made by general ticket, which is the same mode pursued in 1800, the recent election of members of the legislature, who are chosen by the same voters as the electors, is an unequivocal evidence of the public sentiment. The republican votes given were about three times the number of the federal.
Vermont, the electors are chosen by the legislature, whose Republicanism is manifest from their choice of Mr. Bradley, as federal senator, by a very respectable majority.
New-York, by a permanent law, the electors are chosen by the legislature. In the present legislature there are 78 republican, and 28 federal members. —Of the members of Congress recently chosen 10 are republican, and 7 federal.
New-Jersey, the present legislature is decidedly federal.
In this state the electors are chosen by the legislature.
Pennsylvania. In this state, federalism has so little strength that it is not believed that at the ensuing election in October for members of Congress, there will be a single federalist elected in the whole delegation of eighteen. In both branches of the legislature there is a great majority republican. It is not known whether there is any fixed mode of choosing electors, but the result would be the same in any mode.
Delaware, the result is not absolutely certain, but there is every probability that the same majority that chose a republican governor will chose also a republican assembly.
Maryland, five federal electors out of six are allowed, to avoid the imputation of partiality, though of the present legislature, the Senate is entirely republican, as are two thirds of the other branch.
Virginia, no human being entertains a doubt of her vote being entire.—Nine tenths of her legislature are republican.
North Carolina, the election is in districts. A new legislature has been just chosen, which is decidedly republican: the precise numbers on each side are not known.
South Carolina, the election is by the legislature, which, being chosen only every two years, is the same that voted for electors in 1800. There has, therefore, been no new regular expression of the public will; but accounts that may be relied on, furnish indubitable evidences of the growth of republicanisin in that state.
Georgia, Kentucky, & Tennessee, there never have been entertained the least doubts.
After this statement can there be a doubt of the present administration possessing more fully the confidence of the people than has been the case at any antecedent period? They who proclaim their doubts must be deeply deluded themselves, or disposed miserably to delude others. This statement exhibits not the ordinary complexion of public opinion, derived from vague information, or unfounded premises, on the accuracy of which an honest contrariety of sentiment may exist; but the decided, regular, constitutional expression of the national will on the election of a chief magistrate. It is in vain to say the people are deluded, and their verdict is good for nothing.—This may do extremely well for closet declamation, but it does not touch the point; for from every symptom of growing republicanisin, if to be republican be madness, then are the people mad beyond all cure. Should we extend our views to the next Presidential election, and allow to the federalists the full extent of their visionary dreams, not one of which promises realization, we shall still find that an election of a federal President is morally impossible.
It will be remarked that the republicans have two strong holds of which they have not availed themselves, and of which they may not perhaps avail themselves unless compelled by the intrigues of their opponents. These are to be found in the states of Maryland and North Carolina, where the elect-
tion of electors is held by the people in districts, the consequence of which is a division of the votes. The federalists have in all the states where they could, consolidated their whole strength by directing the choice to be made by the legislature, or, in a general ticket by the people. They have thus given the result of an unanimous vote to states greatly divided, by suppressing the most respectable minorities. This they have done in New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont New-Jersey, and Delaware. The pre-republicans may do the same in Maryland and North Carolina. That they will have the power in the former there can be no doubt. The present Senate, every member of which is republican, will continue beyond the next election, and there is scarcely a possibility that in the other branch a majority of two thirds can in two years sink into a minority, particularly when we consider the amendment of the constitution, which by extending the right of suffrage, will infuse new vigour into the republicans. And North Carolina, having been, without variation, republican, since the adoption of the constitution, no doubt can be entertained of the stability of her politics.
Let us then for a moment indulge our adversaries in their wildest dreams. Give them the full fruits of a wide spread detraction, and let us mark the result. Give them back again Rhode-Island, Vermont, New-Jersey, and Delaware.—Allow them every vote in those states. Let their intrigues subvert the political integrity of New-York. This is a prize worthy of the loftiest ambition. Be generous, and give it them. Proceed and throw South Carolina into the bargain. Let her too be bound a victim to intrigue. They have now got all they ever dream of. More they cannot possibly get. And what is the result? Disappointment and defeat. Still will the republicans carry their President. Behold this demonstrated.
   Republican. Federal.    New-Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 19  Rhode Island 4  Connecticut 9  Vermont 6  New-York 19  New-Jersey 8  Pennsylvania 20  Delaware 3  Maryland 11  Virginia 24  North Carolina 14  South Carolina 10  Georgia 6  Kentucky 8  Tennessee 5  Federal 83  85  
Republican Majority 3
Thus, it is evident that no event short of miraculous, can prevent the republicans from obtaining a republican President at the ensuing election.
It may be interesting to enquire, by what means this great change has been effected.
It has been effected by three leading causes, which though not absolutely distinct from each other, admit of distinct illustration.
 1. The wide diffusion of political information.  2. The wise acts of the administration.  3. The rapid increase of our numbers, and especially, the increased population of our western country. 
The two first assigned causes are sufficiently well understood, as they are the standing topics of political discussion. But the last has been little noticed. To it, therefore, we shall confine our remarks.
The commencement of our revolution found public opinion greatly divided. The crisis called for decisive measures, measures of great energy, which soon produced a state of war. In this situation of the country the open expression of opinion was entirely suppressed on one side. The tories, who were so designated from their anti-republican sentiments, and attachment to Britain, were compelled to be silent or depart. Some went into exile, but more were silent and passive.
Our cause triumphed, liberty was established, and peace returned to reward our labours. With it also returned those disaffected to liberty, with their unexhausted treasures. It is not in human nature to sustain a long uninterrupted effort.—War, of all human efforts, most exhausts the vigor of those engaged in it. Our war not only exhausted their vigor, but deprived them of their means of subsistence; and the whigs sunk into repose under the flattering belief of security.
The tories were generally men of wealth. Having carefully husbanded their resources, during their perilous season, they came forth, on the return of peace, with mighty influence. They were reinforced by a large body of men no less formidable. Our trading towns soon swarmed with British merchants and agents; and all the com-

merce of the country intantaneously fell into the hands of these two descriptions of people.
A gigantic interest immediately sprang up, which in many parts of the Union carried all before it. Not confined to the acquisition of wealth, it entered our public councils, and in many instances swayed them. A large portion of our citizens, who had supported the revolution as it now appeared not so much from the love of Republicanism, as from the pride of independence, or a spirit of adventure, augmented this powerful phalanx, and rendered it for a while irresistible. The events that succeeded need not be told. They are fresh in our memories, and our country still bleeds from the wounds they inflicted upon its peace.
To these events, a spirit of resistance, calm, deliberate, energetic, gradually arose, which infused its efficacious influence through the whole extent of the Union. From the centre it passed to the borders of the empire, where it acquired additional strength. Remote from scenes of mercenary traffic, it found among the independent yeomanry minds unprejudiced by foreign attachments, minds truly American, minds which, for the most part, had unfolded since the era of independence. The honest exercise of an independent and well informed judgment always leads to truth; and it has been the fortunate lot of our western brethren never to disregard or disobey it. The western states have always been republican.
At first they rose with little to attract admiration or inspire fear. But a few fugitive years have carried them to wealth and a vast population.
It is to these states that we owe much of our political happiness. It is to their increasing strength that we shall be indebted for more security than we even now enjoy. The new census has given them their legitimate political weight. Had this weight been felt in the presidential election preceding the last, Mr. Adams had never been President, we should have had no alien or sedition laws, no political courts to put down, no immense standing armies to reduce, no extravagant loans to redeem.
I have been inadvertently drawn into a digression, but I trust not unprofitably to my readers. If unprofitable to them, certainly not uninteresting to myself. The subject, in my opinion, merits deep and frequent reflection. An enthusiasm in the cause of republican liberty, building all my hopes of happiness on its firm existence among us, I rejoice to find that it derives its great support from the planters, the farmers and the mechanics of our interior country, whose devotion to it can only arise from an independent and disinterested conviction of its superiority to every other system that has been established. I rejoice to find that a virtuous administration, relying on this impregnable basis, may, rich in the effect of the largest and most honest portion of the community, pass with pity the calumnies of disaffection and disappointment. I rejoice to see that each revolving year will increase this support, and render our liberty and happiness more and more secure.

TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
Who are the Federalists? They are men who once possessed the whole power of the nation. Did they use that power as a blessing, or did they abuse it until it became a curse to a free people? What were their measures? What the effect of those measures.
They enriched themselves at the expence, the mournful expence of the mangled soldier, and his dependent family, by funding the debt in such a way, that speculators in a day rose from poverty to opulence, from meanness to pride. One hundred millions of dollars formed the stately column of Mr. Hamilton's system.
To pay this debt they laid taxes to a vast extent.
By their impudence, they hurried us to the brink of war with a nation that has humbled into objects of scorn the proudest empires of the old world.
They seized this period to rob us of some of our dearest rights by sedition and alien bills—the first of which threatened a mortal wound to the liberty of the press, and the last placed at least one hundred thousand alien inhabitants at the mercy of Mr. Adams.
They succeeded in augmenting the army to 12,000 men after a fruitless attempt to extend it to 23,000.
They borrowed immense sums of money at the exorbitant interest of 8 per centum.
They attempted to vest Mr. Adams with the power of raising by loan an unlimited sum at an unlimited interest.
They passed excise and stamp acts, odious to a free people.
They intolently dismissed all republicans from office, and monopolised the government to themselves.
They created sixteen political judges, after they had lost the confidence of the people.
They avowed their contempt for a republican government, imitated with servile closeness the corrupt system of British monarchy, and strove by every human effort, that they might carry their schemes into effect, to involve us in a war with France.—Hear the language of Mr. Tracy, a federal Senator, high in the esteem of his party. In June, 1796 addressing the Senate, he says:
"For my own part I wish to take every advantage which our situation and our abilities can command. I wish to arm not only our vessels against the French Republic, but I ardently wish to put arms in the hands of every man, every woman and every child in America, against every man, every woman, and every child in France. We are now in actual war with France, the declaration may or may not be made; but the war is begun; I hope we never shall have peace with that nation as long as the present power exists; but hope, for a war of extinguishment. It is well known that their notorious baseness, their perfidy, their audacity and their want of all sense of religious or moral obligation, unfit them for admission into civilized society. Every act of ours which shall be founded on moral principles will be despised and contemned, by such a set of people; for in one word they disregard every thing noble and honorable! With the present government of France we can never be at peace. I never wish to see a peace with them; a cessation of hostilities perhaps we may have; but a peace we surely never ought to have. It would disgrace America to be in Amity with such a race of reprobrates."
There, fellow-citizens, are a few of the measures of the Adams administration.—Had power continued in their hands until this day, I will not pretend to say what would have been the situation of our country. I tremble at the thought. It might have crouched beneath the sword of a military usurper, or the arm of a brother might have been lifted against brother!
But you arrested the mad career of these measures. You, put down the hydra of despotism. You, the People, exerted your salutary and rightful terror.
Are you, who did this, willing at this day, to forfeit all your glory? Are you ready to renounce your independence? Are you prepared again to become victims to ambition? Then, in the sacred name of Heaven, vote for the federal ticket. Restore power to those who have abused it to so little purpose, and they will make a wiser use of it. The act that makes them your rulers, will make you their slaves. Chains too strong to break are ready forged. Once again imposed, and all your struggles will be vain.
No, fellow-citizens, you will not be deceived. Your love of liberty will protect you. Judge for yourselves. Examine the measures of your present rulers. All allow that they are wise men. Their acts show them to be honest. What are those acts? They conceal from you nothing. They inform you of all they have done, and the grounds on which they have acted.
Holding the engagements of the government sacred, they are paying off the national debt faster than it ever has been paid before. They are discharging seven millions three hundred thousand dollars every year.
They have notwithstanding, repealed the excise and stamp act, and abolished at least 500 useless offices.
They have preferred Peace. They mean to preserve it. They know that our happiness depends upon it.
They have passed no alien and sedition laws. Liberty, unimpaired, is possessed by all. Nor is the bale calumny touched by the government. They trust, for his punishment, to the infamy to which your resentment or contempt will consign him.
They have reduced the Army to 3,000 men.
They have made no loans.
By economical arrangements, they have reduced the annual expenses one million.
They have dismissed but few officers.—Five-sixths of the persons in office are still federal.
They have abolished the offices of sixteen political judges, to the joy of every friend to a pure system of justice.
They have avowed their hostility to a monarchical form of government, and their devotion to one that is republican.
These are the measures of a Jefferson and those who co-operate with him in the several departments of the government.
Their labours have been crowned with success. The nation is in peace, is happy, is flourishing. No man can say the present administration has deprived him of a single political right.
This, fellow-citizens, is the lightning of truth. Would to God that it would blast all defamation and falsehood, and then you would hold but one opinion. Then we should be a united and happy people.
TRUTH.
From the Providence Phoenix.
The high toned Federalists, are continually harping that President Adams' administration was similar to President Washington's: but let them remember that while the privaters of their friend, the British King, were committing depredations upon the American commerce, to the amount of millions of dollars, the administration of President Washington apprehending danger of an invasion from an unprovoked enemy, they authorized the raising an army of 80,000 infantry, who were to be raised in the ratio of the number of inhabitants in the different States; the officers appointed by the executives of the States, were to enlist the soldiers; and the officers and soldiers were not to draw their wages, unless called into actual service. To complete this army of 80,000 men officers and soldiers freely and readily obeyed their country's call, and immediately equipped themselves to avenge their country's wrongs at a momentous warning. Here then we find an army of 80,000 independent yeomanry of the country, flood equipped at any moment ready to meet their foes in the field. This had the desired effect, Britain trembled at the bold spirit of independent Americans, feared the consequences and immediately concluded a treaty with the United States. All this cost the United States not ONE CENT. How different from this was the administration of President Adams. When danger was apprehended from the invasion of the French, President Adams caused THREE THOUSAND officers to be commissioned and an army to be raised, and put upon pay and rations without any service for them to do; and even paid them three months after they had returned home; not in such pay however as the poor soldier who fought for our independence was obliged to accept: but in solid coin. All this cost the United States Millions of money, and was the immediate cause of all those land and house taxes, and eight per cent. loans (an interest never given by any other government) which so much distressed our farmers and mechanics in the United States.
President Washington always made treaties with the concurrence of the Senate; but did not President Adams make a treaty with Toussaint, the black General of St. Domingo without the concurrence of the Senate of the United States? The high toned Federalists are called upon to answer this question, as they have had free ingress to the records of the United States. It is said the treaty was not burnt at the fire at Washington, to the sorrow of many Tory Feds. If Mr. Adams did make such a treaty without the concurrence of the Senate, was not the constitution violated? The Feds. are continually crying that Mr. Jefferson's Administration broke the constitution by dismissing fifteen useless Judges, and thereby saving to the United States the annual sum of 32,000 dollars; but let them turn their attention from that, and dwell upon Toussaint's treaty. Let them say whether Mr.
Jefferson is not pursuing the same system of economy which was pursued by our illustrious Washington.
Ye Moderate Federalists who are well withers to the cause of Liberty, say, does not the Administration of President Jefferson pursue the same steps, President Washington did while Mr. Jefferson was Secretary of State? What is that system? to relieve the People from oppressive taxes, as much as possible, to give due encouragement to the industrious tradesmen, farmers and merchants; to prevent the multiplication of officers, who might live upon the hard earnings of the people, without any consideration for the same which should tend, to the advancement of the good of the Country. President Adams selected a Host of Officers to live upon the public. These officers were all Federalists.—This say the Federalists was a great Virtue in Mr. Adams. In Federal estimation Mr. Jefferson's great Crime, is in the dismissal of them and thereby saving to the People an useless expenditure. If this is true let us moderate Federalists and Republicans unite and support Jefferson and Republicanism for our own safety, in spite of Old Tories and the Devil.

The Rural Loiterer—No. IV.
Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together—Psa. xcviii. ver. 8.h.
WHAT mortal can contemplate, even for a moment, on the immensity and the awful sublimity of nature's works, and not feel his heart dilate with astonishment, with gratitude and love?—With astonishment, when he reflects on her wise mechanism of every plant and every animal;—with gratitude, for the pre-eminent rank which he holds in the animal system, for the noble faculties of speech, of reason and of memory;—with love, for the beneficent goodness of Deity, who gave laws to the planets which whirl in the "abyss of space," and scattered "immensity with millions of suns;" who spread the vast expanse of the Heavens, and the verdant carpet of the earth; who formed of unalterable particles the stream which gushes from the base of the mountain, and taught man to adore its Author, enjoy it, and be happy.
Among the scenes of nature, there is nothing which strikes the mind with such awe and veneration, as the sight of some uncommon and rare part of her works. The view of a wide and rapid river, with lofty groves and variegated shrubbery adorning its banks; mountains, overhung with craggy rocks and untrodden cliffs, whose summits threaten to invade the skies, and to impede the thunder as it rolls, carries the mind back to "past ages," and lifts the soul above all earthly objects.
It was this kind of veneration which occasioned the beautiful poetic expressions of the text. What can be more animated, more bold and exalted, than the verse cited above? "Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together."
We have few instances of a bolder personification than this; and, indeed, some of the greatest modern writers have dwelt with rapture, on the enchanting flowers of poetry, which are so profusely scattered through this whole book; and which almost led them to regret, that poets should select the glaring rose to adorn their lines, and pass, in silence, by the modest but sweet violet, without ever thinking to crop the lovely flower, and with it deck their immortal writings. In contemplating on the beauties of creation, there is, frequently, a consoling balm intilled into the grief-worn breast; and the eye that overflows with the dew of woe, may often restrain the briny effusion; the heart that sighs for the intercourse of friendship, forget the extent of its misery, and still all the tumults of the troubled breast while it takes an evening ramble, and hears the murmuring found of the distant cascade, or beholds the full moon, emerging from the "chaos of night."
Whether we view nature in the awful majesty which she displays in those unapproachable mountains, with summits unknown to the human feet; in the grandeur which she portrays in the lofty waving groves of pine and oak; in the tremendous thunderstorm; or in the beauties which she reveals in the expanding rose, the delicious woodbine, and the whole of the flowery tribe; we shall, if we have a common share of sensibility, exclaim with wonder and delight, "Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together;"—
Let man, and all the earthly train, Each bird, each beast, resound the strain And rend the vaulted sky; For Heaven's eternal goodness shines On verdant plains and ruby mines And meets the gazer's eye.
The vivid rays of light and beauty which are spread over our horizon at the dawn of day; and the expiring tinges which are shed on the tops of the neighboring hills and forests, when the sun is sinking below the horizon, must inspire every mind with the most calm and tranquil serenity, did we not let the bustle of life drive away all meditative ideas. The appearance of the glorious illuminator of the world, throwing light over
those extensive plains, which but a few hours before were veiled with thick darkness, is emblematical of the noble and virtuous legislator, who, by good and humane laws, diffuses peace, contentment and happiness through a populous and extensive country; or, like the virtuous minded individual, who rises in the morning, and falls an ardor to perform those actions which shall make his brethren happy.
The most savage nations fall prostrate before the wonderful works of nature, and adore the great, beneficent Being, who is so clearly manifested in every part of creation.
The appearances of the full moon are spent by some in festivals and hilarity; and the North-American savage gazes on the extensive range of mountains; the swift rolling river, and the tremendous water-fall, and lifts his hands towards Heaven, saying, in silent adoration, "Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together."
How fraught with instruction is every part of nature! O, who can survey without wonder the myriads of plants and vegetables, which appear to occupy the same kind of soil, and from thence extract the infinite variety of nutritious juices, which are essential to their respective existences?
How nice and delicate must be the arterial pores of those plants, to exclude every noxious particle, and admit those only which promote their growth!
Who can analyze the laws of that attraction, which draws from the same earth the particles that form the pear, the apple and the cherry; or that give nourishment to the grain of wheat, the melon and the thistle? How we are lost in astonishment when we contemplate the majestic oak, and think that its towering branches, sturdy trunk and verdant leaves, are nothing more than the increase and extension of those minute and delicate parts and foldings, which were wrapped in a small and insignificant shell! Or if we trace the innumerable species of insects, how we shall be surprised at that wisdom and power, which has enclosed the beautiful colors and wings of the butterfly, in the body of the caterpillar! O, the phenomena of nature are an elegant and unlimited study! and the more we meditate on them, the more we shall be filled with benevolence and gratitude; the more will our minds soar above the mean pursuits of avarice and of envy, and be filled with that sublimity of thought, which gave birth to those highly poetic expressions, "Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together."

Messrs. Printers, According to my promise, I shall now entertain your readers with a part of the character of Mr. Edward Bromfield jr. formerly of Boston, as taken from the pen of that great and excellent divine, Mr. Thomas Prince of Boston dec'd, colleague with the venerable Samuel Sewall, doctor of divinity, joint pastors of the old South meeting-house in that place.
AMERICANUS.
BOSTON, NOV. 30. 1746.
IT is with great Regret to think, and I have often thought it a thousand pities that one of the most extraordinary Yuths, for various amiable Excellencies, especially Piety joined with a most accurate mechanical Genius and Penetration into the internal Works of Nature, which this Land and Age have produced, and who deceased last Summer, should be allowed to sink into Oblivion among us. Those who were acquainted with Him, have no need I should say—It was Mr. Edward Bromfield, jun.
But to preserve his Memory in our Public Annals, I shall briefly observe—He was the eldest Son of Mr. Edward Bromfield Merchant in this Town: Was born in 1723, entered Harvard College in 1738, took his first Degree in 1748, his second in 1745, and died at his Father's House Aug. 18. 1746, to the deep reluctance of all who knew him. From his Childhood He was thoughtful, calm, easy, modest, of tender Affections, dutiful to his Superiors, and kind to all about him. As he grew up, these agreeable Qualities ripened in him; and he appeared very ingenious, observant, curious penetrating; especially in the Works of Nature; in mechanical Contrivances and manual Operations, which increased upon his studying the Mathematical Sciences, as also in searching into the Truths of Divine Revelation and into the nature of genuine experimental Piety.
His Genius first appeared in the accurate Use of his Pen; drawing natural Landscapes and Images of Men and other Animals, &c, making himself a master of the famous Weldon's short Hand in such Perfection, as He was able to take down every Word of the Professor's Lectures in the College Hall, Sermons in the Pulpit, and Testimonies, Pleas, &c. in Courts of Judicature. As he grew in Years, with a clear, sedate, unprejudiced and most easy Way of Thinking, he greatly improv'd in Knowledge: and therewith a most comely Sweetness, Prudence, Tenderness and Modesty, graced all his Conversation and Improvements in the Eyes of all about him.
As monuments of his extraordinary Industry and Ingenuity; in two or three Minutes View. I see He has left in his Study, (1) Maps of the Earth in its various Projections drawn with his Pen in a most accurate Manner, finer than I have ever seen the like from Plates of Copper. (2) A Number of curious Dials made with his own Hands: One of which is a Triangular Octodecimal; having about its Center eighteen Triangular Planes, with their Hour Lines
and Styles, standing on a Pedestal, though unfinished. (3) A Number of Optical and other Mechanical Instruments of his own inventing and making; the Designs and Uses of which are not yet known. (4) A considerable Number of Manuscripts, of his own writing, Containing Extracts out of various Authors, with his own pious Meditations and Self Reflections: though almost all in Short Hand, with many Characters of his own devising, and hard to be deciphered.
(5) As He was well skill'd in Music;—He for Exercise and Recreation, with his own Hands has made a most accurate Organ, with two Rows of Keys and many Hundred Pipes: his Intention being Twelve Hundred, but died before He completed it: The Workmanship of the Keys and Pipes surprisingly nice and curious, exceeding any Thing of the Kind that ever came Here from England: Which he designed, not merely to refresh his Spirits, but with Harmony to mix, enliven and regulate his vocal and delightful Songs to his Great CREATOR, PRESERVER, BENEFACTOR and REDEEMER. He thought the AUTHOR of Nature and Music, does by his early Choristers of the Air, with which the Day-Spring rises, teach us to awake with them, and begin our morning Exercise with great Hymns of Joy and Praises to him! And what is surprizing was, that He had but a few Times look'd into the inside Work of 2 or 3 Organs which came from England.
(6) But what I would chiefly write of is—His clear Knowledge of the Properties of Light, his vast Improvement in making Microscopes, most accurately grinding the finest Glasses; and thereby attaining to such wonderful Views of the inside Frames & Works of Nature, as I am apt to think that none of them at least have never appeared to mortal Eye before. He carried his Art and Instruments to such a Degree; as to make a great Number of surprizing Discoveries of the various Shapes and Clusters contained in a Variety of exceedingly minute Particles of Vegetables, Insects, &c; as also of the very smaller Clusters which composed the Particles of those Clusters, &c.—That He seem'd to be making haste to the Sight of the Minima Naturalia, or the very minutest and original Atoms of material Substances.
In short, he could meet with no curious Piece of Mechanism, but he could readily see its Deficiencies, make one like it, and happily improve. At one time He told me, it seem'd as if we might magnify almost unboundedly, or as far as the Rays of Light preserved their Properties and could be visible. At another Time—That He see a Way of bringing Sun beams in such a Manner and Number into a Room in the coldest Day of Winter, as to make it as warm as he pleased, without any other Medium.
I earnestly urged him to write down, delineate and publish his Discoveries, for the Illustration of Men and Glory of GOD:
But his excessive Modesty hindered Him And now they are gone without Recovery. I can only relate a Specimen or two which once He show'd me, as follows—
The first of which I remember was—He put a small live Louse into his Microscope: and projecting the Shadow on the Wall, we could clearly see the Brong Workings of his Bowels, the Separation of the Food, the quick Propulsion of the single and successive little Balls of Excrements along to a Cylis at the Anus, till the Cylis fill'd, and then the Extrusion at once together, as in a Sheep, &c. By the Bearing of the Collected Sun Beams, on him thro' the Glass, we presently see his Fluids boiling, and his muscular Parts excited to universal, violent Convulsions, which increased till he dy'd in an Instant.
We shall reserve for our next Gazette, the other yet more wonderful Experiments, which will astonish the Philosopher, and Scholard.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 13.
WE understand that letters have been received in this country from Algiers, as late as the 7th of July; which furnish the following information:
The Dey of Algiers has demanded of the American Consul to direct the United States to deliver the George Washington, to be brought to Algiers, for the purpose of being sent by the Dey to Constantinople, to transport a quantity of arms and other articles. The Consul remonstrated, but in vain. The Dey directed him to write immediately, and obtain an answer as soon as possible.
On the evening, however, of the same day, the Dey informed the Consul, that considering the great distance of the United States, he had determined to call upon the Consuls of nearer nations. Such demand is stated to have been made of the Spanish and Danish Consuls.
On the 26th June, a Tripolitan corsair, with the American brig Franklin, as a prize, arrived at Algiers. The claim of the Consul for a restoration of the vessel and crew, had not on the 7th of July succeeded.
On the 16th of June, 3 ships of the line and 8 frigates of Spain threatened a blockade of Algiers, and demanded all captured Spanish vessels. The Dey threatened war against Spain, which was only averted on the following terms: The payment, in money and presents, to the amount of 120,000 dollars; a renunciation by Spain of her claim to captured vessels and cargoes; and a departure of the Spanish fleet.
On the 23rd of June, in an interview with the British Consul and Sir ROBERT BARLOW, the Dey demanded a change of the British passports, and a compliance with his old claim of 187,000 dollars; and declared if these terms were not complied with in five months, he would make war against England.
On the 30th of June, the Dey demanded of THORNVILLE, the French agent, sums alleged to be due, or promised, amounting to 500,000 dollars, and threatened war against France, if not complied with in 40 days.
It is further stated, that Algiers and Tunis are on the verge of a war.

RUPTURE WITH PORTUGAL.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 11.
A private letter from Lisbon states, "It is said that the departure of Gen. Lafnes is grounded on the refusal of certain satisfaction required by France, and tacitly conceded on the conclusion of peace, with the view, as appears, of eluding them; which is proved by the fact, since General Lafnes, agreeably to the orders of the First Consul, demanded either the immediate fulfilment of them, or passports to depart. This last was complied with, and he left Lisbon four days ago, with his secretary of Legation, proceeding in all haste to Madrid, where no doubt, he will arrive this morning. His wife was to set off this day by the packet for England, in order to proceed more commodiously to France, having to nurse a young citizen France a month old. Madame Lafnes is a woman of the most amiable disposition and manners, and of the most correct conduct. It is said that General Lafnes made a free eulogium on the Prince. Recent to M. Pinto de Vallemont, stating that the Prince was good for nothing, but (a very coarse expression) and that his Ministers knew it well, since every one of them was a despot that reigned for the purpose of enriching himself and committing iniquities for which there was nobody to call them to account. This violent tirade shows the character of the general, who is a brave soldier but no statesman. This tirade too he actually pronounced with a loud voice at the very time when M. Pinto waited upon him to beg him to be quiet for some days; and when it was stated to him that hopes were entertained of prevailing on the Prince Regent to agree to his demand. An hour after, however, his passions were less hot."
We have to add another report, that the ground of dissatisfaction conceived by Gen. Lafnes was the Revenue officer's insisted on examining some baggage coming to the ambassador, or under his protection and safeguard. He applied for satisfaction, and insisted on the dismissal of the Prime Minister, which being refused, he withdrew as we above stated.
SALEM, OCT. 19.
Letter from the American Consul at Tunis to W. Y. Purviance, Esq. dated Tunis, 9th July, 1802.
Sir,—On the 7th inst. the American brig Franklin, Capt. Andrew Morris, was brought into Hileta, a port in this regency, prize to a corsair of Tripoli. She was bound from Marseilles to St. Thomas's, laden with wine, oil, soap, flasks, perfume, &c. &c. on account of Messrs. Sumner and Brown of Philadelphia, and captured off Cape Palos. Yesterday the brig and cargo were put up at public auction in this city; but the master and crew, 9 in all, are destined for Tripoli. I have official information that there are 5 Tripolitan corsairs out. I request that you will make this letter circular, that our Consuls on the Mediterranean coast may prevent, within their precincts, all American merchandise from putting to sea without convoy. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your most obedt. servt.,

COMMUNICATION.
To the Electors of YORK District.
Will the People of York District, have a Lord, to rule over them?
AMONG the numerous writers on the American constitution, Mr. Adams only, has ventured to suggest the necessity of having Lords among our Rulers, and even he would have them placed in a "Hole by themselves," and strictly watched by the People—now what Hole have the People of York District, to put their Lord in, should they send one to Congress, and who have they to watch him; for President Adams insists, that when Lords become rulers, they ought to be watched. Shall we then send a Representative from Old York District, that must be kept in a Hole, and carefully watched while in that Hole, to be prevented from indulging a natural propensity to mischief?—If there is such danger of a Lord's doing mischief when employed on public business, is it not better to continue him in the private walks of life, and send a man to Congress, who we know has already done us much good? Mr. RICHARD CUTTS, our present Representative, has given us the most solid pledges of his regard to the rights and interests of the People. He has aided in repealing that obnoxious badge of slavery the Stamp Act, and the Land Tax Act, which in a few years would not have left us a single cow on our farms; and also the odious excise laws, which were intended to crush the infant manufactures of America, and to have kept us forever dependent on Britain for supplies which our own country can yield in luxurious abundance. He has advocated the suppression of the Standing Army, the eternal foe of civil liberty, and which was created by the late administration, to support their tyranny over the People.—Mr. CUTTS assisted in reducing the enormous compensations of the collectors of the Customs, some of whom under the late President received more than ten thousand dollars a year; and he has contributed to abolish the new Star Chamber Courts, and a host of idle Judges, that were intended to fatten on our labour, and to punish us with stripes, if we had the boldness to complain, while the stamp masters and collectors, with their five hundred deputies were taking our substance for the support of their Honors. These are the sure pledges we have of Mr. CUTTS's attachment to our rights, and it is for these, that the Federalists are exerting their utmost efforts to turn Mr. CUTTS out of office, and to put a Lord in his place. But it is hoped the People of York District will on the first Monday of November, express their abhorrence of Stamp Acts, continental Land Taxes, pensioned Judges, Standing Armies and all the train of measures adopted by the late administration, for the destruction of our rights, and the establishment of an order of nobility in our land. It is hoped by their suffrages they will then show the world, that they will have no Lords nor Lordlings for their Rulers, while such a friend to their rights and liberties as RICHARD CUTTS, Esq. dwells among them.— NO LORD.
Wells, October 20, 1802.
Persecution ever begets converts; every generous mind abhors it; therefore it is that the lies and calumnies with which the besotted Scotchman Callender, and a few disappointed Printers have shamefully slandered the immaculate character of Mr. JEFFERSON, have made him more friends than ten thousand eulogies.
It is said the sixteen ex-Judges of mid-night creation, who were intended to extinguish the last expiring groan of Republicanism; these sixteen Judges, it is said are making regular charges against the United States for their salaries, on an assurance that they shall be all paid, as well as reinstated in office, when Mr. JEFFERSON is turned out. Here then lies the secret cause of the opposition of these anti-republican Judges to all the wholesome measures of the present Government.
Yesterday (for the second time this season) the Artillery Company, under command of Capt. E. J. LONG, made their appearance in complete uniform.
The astonishing revival of Republican principles, manifested in all the late elections, as well in New-England as in the Southern States, clearly demonstrate, that the calumnies, which some Federalist press have so grossly vomited forth against Mr. JEFFERSON, have produced effects directly contrary to the intentions of his enemies—in short the People knowing them to be lies, have determined to support the man whom the federalists have so basely injured.
For the GAZETTE.
Messrs. Printers, It seems to be the almost universal cry of the whole town of Portsmouth, why are not the meeting houses opened that the people may be accommodated, at least, in the evenings, with hearing Mr. SMITH preach. The last Sabbath evening there were at least five hundred people who were desirous to hear him, that could not get in to the school house; certainly the attention of the people of this town, was never before so called up. It was supposed that on Sabbath afternoon there were ONE THOUSAND respectable people of both sexes in the Market-Hall; many more again that could not get in, and went away again.
Many say the reason that ministers will not admit Mr. Smith into THEIR meeting houses, is, that he will not hold theirs to be churches of Christ. On this subject I have talked with him, and he lays openly, IT IS NO SUCH THING. For that he does hold them to be Churches of Christ, and the only thing he will not admit, is, they are not organized agreeably to the primitive apostolical order. How can we then blame Mr. Smith?—No reasonable, rational man will for one moment lay anything to his charge. He says he does not wish, (neither would he be so impolitic) as to declare his private sentiments in any other gentleman's desk; but it is the GOSPEL he is sent to preach, and that does not consist in particular forms and ceremonies.
Now, Messrs. Printers, I would ask candidly if it was not the commission of our blessed Lord and Saviour to his Apostles and teachers, go into ALL THE WORLD and preach the Gospel to every creature?—If so, how dare the ministers of this town to say, they shall not come into Portsmouth? Is not Portsmouth A PART of the world? Surely every person of sense will say it is. And every many respectable people were heard to say, on Sabbath evening, that it were their opinion, in an edict, who pretended to be a preacher agreeable to the established order of the present Clergy, was to come to this town, the meeting houses would be opened! But when a gentleman of Mr. Smith's abilities comes to town, they are fearful, (as good Mr. Humphrey's says, that there craft is in danger) and immediately a consultation is held not to admit them to preach in their desks.
Many were pleased, (when Mr. Smith first came to this town) to resort to the propagation of false reports as a plea to shut him from the meeting houses. In this, their design, they soon were frustrated.—And these reports have been traced, and found to be as despicable and false as it persons who propagated them. Yes, Messrs. Printers, a worthy character, and gospel herald of this town—who admitted Mr. Smith to preach three or four evening lectures in his house, (and who would have still admitted him to preach in it, had it not been that a few of his society were fearful of its dividing their little united circle;) was lately on a long tour where Mr. Smith had been preaching, and he publicly affirms, he never heard a syllable against his character. Besides, have not the Churches been written to, where he had been preaching, and they also affirm, that the reports were FALSE!
Besides I have lately heard a very respectable gentleman and one of the SELECTMEN of this town, say, they have known him for ten or twelve YEARS, and never heard or knew any thing against his moral character. From all these witnesses, have we not reason to think that the enemies of Mr. Smith, are indirectly (or directly) the enemies of Christ.
Since it is the determination of a very respectable number of people of this and the adjacent towns, to settle Mr. Smith in this place; Is it not very impolitic, in a certain class of people, to injure their own consciences and character, in trying to misrepresent the conduct of this worthy man. So that it is my firm belief, that where the different societies to let Mr. Smith occasionally officiate in their meeting houses, in the evenings; instead of its dividing, it would unite them! For now the people are determined they will not hold pews and pay taxes to any society, unless they can occasionally have the privilege of hearing such people as they wish to preach in THEIR meeting-houses. They are also determined that their judgments, shall be no longer lorded over by any set of people whatever, as they now begin to have their eyes open to judge for themselves.

ON AUTUMN.
NOW Autumn comes with frosty train, And whens all the flow'ry plain; No more the sweets the roses shed With pleasure fill the passer's head; No more Arabian gales arise, Nor violets fair attract our eyes; Nor trains of lambkins young and gay That sported on the grassy spray— But Autumn, with his frowning brow Suppresses every transport now; He chills the ardor of our souls, And every pleasing thought controuls.
Ah! where are all the charms of Spring That first inspir'd my tongue to sing? No more I view the vale to green, Where blushing flowers illum'd the scene; No more the lily and the rose Their charming scents around disclose.
The corn that rais'd its verdant head, And on the ground its image spread, Which, like the ocean's gentle wave, Delight to all that saw it gave, Is blasted by the chilling night, And fled forever from our sight.
No longer shall the morning crow Tempted by hunger thither go; No more shall larks or tinners lay Shut from the sultry heat of day— Or sweetly tune their morning song The spreading leaves lighted among. No more the hen 'a break' of day Shall there direct her wandering way; No more shall lead her feeble train, And raise her head to pick the grain.
No longer shall the truck boy Sport in the corn, clare with joy; No more his knife shall cut the shoot That issues from the pumpkin's root; And, laying work and business by, Its ulla loud with rapture try— Or, when the sultry day has fled, And evening casts a fable shade, The wonted wrestling ground no more His active limbs will wander o'er.
Where are the beauteous scenes of May, That shone so lovely and so gay? The orchards dress in robes of white; The lily with its glowing light? The fragrant woodbine and the rose That nature's gayest charms disclose? The gardens deck'd with countless blooms, Have found, alas! their silent tombs!
Upon the side of yonder stream, On which the sun reflects his beam; The towering elms and poplars rise, And stem to stem at yonder skies; Their spreading branches once were seen Deck'd in the most luxuriant green: The feather'd choir would often fly And meet upon those branches high; Among the leaves their houses form, Regardless of the battering storm; But, ah! they now have bid adieu, And swift to distant regions flew— While rigid Autumn's stern decree Has blasted ev'ry leafy tree. The sporting flies of varied hue, The roses tinge, the violets blue, That gambol'd in the cooling shade, Of coursed ev'ry flow'ry glade, No more at Summer's rosy morn Shall light upon the waving corn.
No more my steps the grove shall tread, Or lofty pines my body shade; The little neighboring trees so fair, Where oft I quaff'd the evening air, Beneath whose boughs the Mules flew, And from my pen its numbers drew— Defeated by the singing throng, Those boughs no more shall hear the song.
Behold the limbs of ev'ry tree— How fell their verdant beauties free! They're blasted by the northern gale, That nip the woodbine in the vale.
Then think, O man! on yonder bower, On ev'ry tree, on ev'ry flower— And know how soon their beauties fly, Like blishes of the morning sky. Then know this truth, that virtue's name Protection from the frost can claim, And while each blasted blossom dies, And links forever from our eyes, The noble deed, the virtuous thought Shall live eternal; unforget. When age, like Autumn, blasts thy bloom, And evening skies are hung with gloom; When youthful passions all retire, And age has cool'd thy morning fire; When blooming beauty falls a prey, And owns of time the sovereign sway, Still shall thy virtues live secure, And time's eternal shock endure.
O! let the leavens that fall decay Teach you to mount you heavenly way; To cull the flowers that never die, Tho' Autumn frowns and blossoms fly; To mount the heaven appointed road That leads to virtue and to God!
Disdain the smooth, the dangerous path, That leads to pain, remorse and death; Avoid the way the vicious go, Which leads to darkness and to woe!
O shun, thou youth of blooming air, Ignoble pleasure's dangerous snare; Let not a wicked world debase, And sink thy glory to disgrace.— In early youth improve thy time, And up the steep of virtue climb.— The flow'ry lawns that pleasure spreads Shall soon be deck'd with gloomy shades; The glittering way where robes glow Conducts to darkness and to woe; But virtue's path, tho' rocks appear, Shall shine, like noon-day brightness, clear, And lead thee thro' the dreary way Up to the glorious realms of day!
NEW-YORK, OCT. 11.
We are happy in hearing of the progress made in building of New-Jersey college. Mr. La Trobe, the architect, is now at Princeton, superintending the construction of the roof of this edifice—the building it seems, is to be covered with sheet iron, which it is supposed, will prove at once a safe and durable roof. At the next session a large addition will be made to the num- ber of the students. The discipline of the college will in future be more strict, and a more exact and rigid attention than ever, will be paid to the moral and religious prin- ciples of the youth who may be sent to this institution for their education.
