We are authorized to state (says a New Orleans paper) that the President of the U. S. has extended his pardon to all persons who had deserted from the army of the U. S. and taking refuge in the territory of Louisiana, previous to the 30th day of Dec. last, and were on that day inhabitants of said territory.
Political Miscellany.
From the Farmer's Register.
LETTER OF GEN. DAVID THOMAS, Representative from the State of New-York, in Congress of the U. States, to his Constituents.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF W. BRITTON.
Fellow-Citizens,
IN addressing this letter to you, I am aware that I not only expose myself to the eye of criticism, but likewise to the imputation of being actuated by improper motives. No considerations, however, of this nature, shall deter me from the discharge of a duty devolved on me as your immediate representative. I shall, therefore, give you a plain and concise statement of our finances, and the prominent measures of the general government.
When the present executive came into office, our national debt had risen to upwards of eighty millions of dollars, and notwithstanding all the taxes that were then in operation there were in the treasury at that time, only about one million seven hundred thousand dollars. Between that period and the 1st of October last, besides paying the interest on the whole debt, and defraying the necessary expenses of government, nine millions nine hundred and twenty four thousand dollars of the principal of that debt had been paid off, and there remained in the treasury more than five millions eight hundred thousand dollars, in specie, including the two millions, which by a law of the last session, were placed under the power and accountability of the president, towards meeting the price of New-Orleans, and other territories to be acquired; but which remained in the treasury untouched, making in the whole a difference in favor of the United States, in two years and a half, of fourteen millions of dollars.
Every well informed citizen will recollect the various artifices made use of, previous to the great political revolution lately achieved, by the enemies of those who compose and uphold the present republican, economical administration, in order to weaken your confidence in the men, who believed the measures of the then administration, calculated to oppress labor, and insidiously deprive you of those inestimable rights which your fathers, your brothers, and many of yourselves achieved with your blood; by suffering the national debt to increase while it was drawing prodigious taxes from your pockets—by multiplying thousands of officers, thereby increasing executive patronage, and creating hosts of patronised friends and public informers in every part of the Union—by passing a law, in direct violation of the constitution, in order to shield the president and congress from a fair investigation of their conduct by the people. Was it not, re-founded in your ears in '99—1800, that if the democrats succeeded, if Jefferson should be elected, all religion would be prostrated? all security to property destroyed? national faith and national credit violated? a general levelling system introduced? that our country would be sold to France and become a prey to the rapacity of Bonaparte?—And to enforce a belief of this, was not the story of X, Y and Z—the tale of the tubs, massacres, clues, &c. industriously propagated? And to protect themselves in the government, did not the encouragers of these tales employ every artifice to involve us in a war with France? Did not the then President, he who ought, in conscious dignity, pre-eminently to stand aloof from the passions of the moment, tell the nation, that the finger of Heaven pointed to war?—But the enlightened people of these States penetrated these dark stratagems, arrested the progress of these measures, frowned the authors into silence, and raised to the chief magistracy of their favored country, the man whom heaven seems to have ordained to lead us back to first principles.
A change of administration being effected, a different system was adopted. A host of useless offices were abolished; the army and navy reduced; and economy in the expenditure
of public money, substituted for prodigality—So that, without the aid of a direct tax, stamp tax, or any other internal taxes; by faithfully applying all the revenue of the country, (except that requisite to defray the necessary expenses of government) towards the discharge of our national debt, nearly ten millions of the principal of that debt were paid on the first of October last, and more than four millions of specie remained in the treasury, above the amount found in it when the change took place.
Since the change of administration, the opposition have made various efforts to alienate the confidence of the people from those who now administer the government. Knowing that all their clamours about religion being prostrated, property being insecure, anarchy being introduced, the country being betrayed into the power of France, and many other tales equally false, had lost their force, they next endeavoured to impress a belief that the constitution was violated by the repeal of the midnight judiciary, that national credit was ruined by the repeal of the internal taxes, and that the mode adopted to pay off the national debt was mere pretence; that it was not in the power, nor the intention of government to discharge it; all these attempts at deception, proving abortive, they then, as it were reduced to the last resort, bent all their force, to vilify and calumniate the personal character of the illustrious JEFFERSON. The stories fabricated and published respecting the private character of that great and good man, evince a depravity of heart, without a parallel; but the mind of that patriot, devoted to promote the interest and prosperity of his country, treats them as it ought, with silent contempt, and we have only to regret that there are those among us, base enough to endeavor by low, obscene, and wicked publications to disgrace in the eyes of Europe and the world, the chief magistrate of this great and rising empire. This calumny and personal abuse has not, however, been bestowed on him alone, but has been levelled at almost every public character coinciding with him in political sentiments. How contrary this conduct to that of the republicans while they were in the minority! They, contending for certain great principles, and opposing measures which they considered injurious to their country, were too magnanimous to descend to personal abuse. This proves in the clearest manner that the opposition to the measures of the present administration is untenable because it is not founded in reason or truth.
The conduct of the Spanish intendant at New-Orleans in refusing to our citizens descending the Mississippi the right of depositing their produce at that place, was seized by opposition to thwart the system of policy which the administration had adopted, to preserve peace, economize our expenses, and discharge the national debt. With this view you recollect their efforts in Congress as well as out, to precipitate us into a war with both France and Spain, and to prevent an amicable and favorable adjustment of this ground of dissatisfaction, you will remember their endeavors to excite the people of the western states to resort to arms without the authority of the general government, and also to enhance the value and importance of Orleans and the province of Louisiana in the estimation of the French republic on the one hand, and on the other to prove, that if we suffered France to colonize that country, she would, by controlling the navigation of the Mississippi, and possessing the place of deposit and thorough fare for the produce and trade of all the western states, draw the citizens of that extensive, fertile and growing country, into her views, and eventually cause a dismemberment of the union; in short that our very existence as a nation depended on our possessing the free navigation of that river, and the territory on the banks of it. They declared it of such incalculable value to the nation who enjoyed its sovereignty, that money would never induce her to part with it; that that was the favorable moment to raise an army and take it by force, and if we suffered that opportunity to pass, another perhaps would never occur.
Fortunately for the peace of the country, the patriotism of the citizens of the western states, and their confidence in the administration rendered them invulnerable to those efforts so insidiously calculated to mislead their judgments, and although their produce was left to rot in their granaries, they resolved to wait the result of negotiation. Under these unfavorable auspices a negotiation was commenced. In order to favor the result, it was deemed necessary to place two millions of dollars in the power of the executive as part of the purchase, if that should be effected. In doing this it was considered important not to express the specific object of the appropriation, because a development of the intention of government to make the purchase might induce the nation with whom we were to treat, to demand an exorbitant price.—It was then industriously circulated through the union, that so much secret service money, had been voted to the president, and no art was left untried to produce this impression on the public mind, necessarily so unfavorable, while it existed, to the administration.—The negotiation, however, went on, and under Divine Providence, terminated with a success equal to the most sanguine expectation; a treaty was concluded, by which we obtained the possession of the territory on both banks of the Mississippi, and thereby not only secured the uninterrupted navigation of that river, removed all grounds of disputes and wars in future; but as the West-India Islands (which are and probably will long be possessed by the different nations of Europe) must now depend almost exclusively on us for their supplies, they afford us a more sure pledge for future peace, than fleets and armies; and this too, for a sum not only less than the expenses of a single campaign, but less than the unappropriated lands of the ceded territory would bring at market, without considering the impost duties which will now come into our treasury from the port of Orleans, or the rise of our western public lands in consequence of the free navigation of the Mississippi being permanently secured.
Another circumstance however, afforded the opposition a new hope that they might profit by this transaction. At the commencement of the present session of Congress, when the treaty and convention concluded with France ceding this country, was laid before the Senate for their consideration, the Spanish minister remonstrated against their ratification, suggesting that a stipulation in the treaty of St. Ildefonso, relative to the duke of Parma, under which Spain had ceded this province to France, had not been complied with. This was seized with much avidity by the enemies of the administration, who urged that Spain, who was yet in possession of this territory, ought not, and undoubtedly would not yield it, triumphantly exclaiming, that what they had previously predicted was now verified—that although they concurred in the opinion, that the possession of this country by the United States was all important, it could not be acquired without a war, and that by not following their advice, we had lost the money to be paid as the purchase, suffered the auspicious moment for taking it by force to pass, and would be at last compelled to resort to hostilities to obtain it. But here again their reasonable hopes of contemplating their own country embroiled in the horrors of war were blasted. The peaceable possession of this fertile region, affording all the products of the East and West-Indies, was in the month of December last delivered over to the officers of our government, and the whole accomplished, under the guidance of heaven, without losing a drop of the blood of our fellow citizens—an event unprecedented in the annals of the old world, and which will be a subject of gratitude and astonishment to the future generations who shall reap the benefits of this transaction.
Different opinions have existed with respect to the mode of government best suited to Louisiana. On the whole, it appears to have been concluded, that as the people of that province are generally unacquainted with the representative system, one in some measure similar to the first grade of

our territorial governments, would be the most proper at present; which is, however, to continue no longer than found policy requires, before they receive a system more congenial with our republican institutions.
The bankrupt law, which extended its benefits only to the mercantile part of the community, has been found rather to countenance fraud, than to promote justice; it has therefore been repealed with the general consent of all parties.
Judge Pickering of New-Hampshire, who was impeached last session by the house of Representatives, has been tried, found guilty, and removed from office. Judge Chase has also been impeached, but will not be tried till next session.
The amendment to the constitution, directing the designation of President and Vice-President, proposed by congress during the present session, appears not to have been agreed to by all the republican members of the house of representatives—the fact is, that when the amendment first passed the house, every republican member voted in favor of it, but the senate added a new provision in order to obtain the approbation of a constitutional majority of that branch, as two of its members* were at that time absent—this was disapproved of by a number of our political friends, and will account for their voting against the amendment, when it was returned from the senate. The other proposition to amend the constitution, so as to have the states districted for the choice of electors of President and Vice-President by the people, has also been before congress; but from various considerations it has been deemed improper to act upon it this session.
Accept fellow-citizens, the assurance of my high consideration.
DAVID THOMAS.
Washington, March 19, 1804.

From the National Intelligencer.
The gallant conduct of our seamen in the Mediterranean, we had hoped would have produced some common feeling throughout the land. On such an occasion we expected that from those who wanted patriotism, pride would have extorted approbation. But because our tars have dared to manifest under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, a bravery and enterprize certainly unsurpassed, and it might perhaps be correctly added, unrivaled in naval annals, the measure of applause is either denied by federalists, or is dealt out with a niggardly hand. Every thing is to be condemned, done by or under the republican administration, whether it be the secure possession of the navigation of the Mississippi, so essentially important to the peace of the whole nation, and to the prosperity of our western brethren, or the assertion of the national character, from the aggressions of the pirates of the Mediterranean. For abandoning the line of conduct pursued by the last administration they are denounced, and when a similar course is pursued, all merit, even that of pure motives, is denied them.
It is happy for the peace and happiness of this nation, that those entrusted with its public concerns, are not to be shaken from the strong ground they have taken by the indiscriminate and vehement censure of their opponents. Too often we have had the misfortune to witness the best men driven from the straight line of duty into rash and unadvised measures of retaliation. Too often men of warm temperaments, conscious of the purity of their motives, and supported by the affections of a nation, have suffered feelings of resentment against their revilers and opponents, to mingle themselves with the discharge of their public duty; and thus by abandoning the ground originally taken under the guidance of dispassionate judgment they have exposed themselves to the dangers involved in a departure from principle.
It must be a source of peculiar felicity to every friend of republican institutions, to perceive in the measures of our government a steady development of principles, uninfluenced by personal considerations. For however the trifling concerns of a small district may be managed without material mischief, under the control of other motives, we do not hesitate to say that the great affairs of a nation can never be conducted with glory to the government, or utility to the people, without a strict and unintermitted regard of principle.
These were the professions; and with these professions their conduct has strictly coincided. They have maintained a navy within prudent limits; and by introducing various economical reforms, have rendered it less an object of popular jealousy.
Out of power they declared that, while averse to a resort to force on light occasions, they would not hesitate to unfold the energies of the nation to repel great and unprovoked wrongs. In power, their actions are the best commentary on their principles. For while they have invigorated every sentiment of friendship with the governments of Europe, and removed many grounds of dissatisfaction, subsisting at the period of their induction into office, they have notwithstanding the pressure of the Louisiana purchase, came forward with promptness and spirit to vindicate our violated rights and interests in the Mediterranean. Let those, who from jealousy, or prejudice, indulge an habitual distrust of professions, not forget that actions never deceive.

Massachusetts Legislature.
TUESDAY, JUNE 5. Agreeably to adjournment, the Senators and Representatives assembled together; when His Excellency the Governor came in, and delivered the following
SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the Senate, And Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, THE obligation which we have taken upon ourselves, to perform the public duties incumbent on us agreeably to the rules and regulations of the Constitution, requires us, to protect our fellow citizens in the enjoyment of their lives, liberty and property; and demands of us an exact observance of the principles of the Constitution, and a constant adherence to those of piety, justice, moderation, temperance, industry and frugality, in the formation and execution of the Laws necessary for the good administration of the Commonwealth.
An impartial distribution of justice to all the people is of the highest importance to preserve an equality among them; and enable them to enjoy that liberty, which under the protection of law secures their lives and property; and to unite them more closely together, and attach them more firmly to the State.
A PEOPLE enjoy the most perfect civil liberty when the government, under which they are placed, is of their own choice; when they conform to laws which are enacted by themselves or their Representatives;—and when no duties are enjoined, and no restrictions imposed by those laws, which are not conducive to the general happiness.
It is obvious then, that nothing is more opposite to liberty, than licentiousness. Wherever there is liberty, the people are subjects, not of men but of the Constitution and Laws; for liberty consists in doing only what these permit. It forbids us to allow ourselves in any pursuits which are injurious to others, for if such permission was given to us, it would also be indulged to them. It implies that within the limits of law and justice we may act according to our own choice and take such measures, as we believe are conducive to our own happiness. The people therefore are free, so long as they are under the restraint of equal and just laws: But their freedom is lost, when the passions of men are unrestrained and the laws are violated with impunity. The reign of justice is then over, and there is an end of manners, liberty and virtue. To escape from this state of licentiousness, the People in some countries, submit to the control of a single tyrant, because they think it more tolerable to have one tyrant, than a thousand. In a free State, therefore, the citizens ought to be guarded against the attempts both of individual men, who from a mistaken zeal for liberty, would introduce anarchy and confusion; and of ambitious men, who assume the garb of patriotism, and employ their talents to inflame the passions of the people and excite their contempt of decency and order.
UPON order, the public happiness is founded; without it, society is a state of violence; and to maintain it, is to restrain injustice and oppression; to guard the life and property of one man, against outrage from another; to protect the simple and innocent from the attempts of artifice and fraud, and to produce such a state of tranquillity, that the most defenceless among the people may be safe, under the protection of government.
THE principal of equality among the citizens, is recognized and established by the Constitution. It is an equality of rights which ensures the same protection to each individual, and requires that all men of every description shall be amenable to justice. It refuses from equal government and impartial laws, when the way to honor and preferment is open to every one; and the pretensions of no citizen are limited, except by the distinction of merit and capacity. But an equality of property never can exist, until all men have the same faculties, and are equal in prudence and industry; and even if they were perfectly similar in these respects, still their property would be unequal unless Providence should alike upon the labors of all, and grant to every man an equal share of prosperity. The inequality of property therefore arises from the nature of things, and not from any defect in the form or administration of government. All that the best government can do, is to prevent that inequality which fraud, oppression or violence would produce:—To encourage frugality, and as far as justice and the Constitution will permit, to restrain luxury and prodigality; and to protect the lawful possessions of every man, so that each may enjoy the fruits of his labor in perfect security.
BUT though a spirit of equality is favorable to public happiness, an extreme degree of it is sometimes injurious and disgraceful. This happens, when manners are exceedingly depraved, when upright magistrates are no longer respected; and parents and public instructors are treated with rudeness and violence, when the child behaves himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable, and the natural and necessary distinctions in society are disregarded.
THE terms LIBERTY and EQUALITY, in their true and just import describe essential Rights in a Republic, which ought to be assiduously preserved and cherished; but they are so liable to misconstruction, and have been understood in such different senses, that I presume you, Gentlemen, will not think it unworthy of you, to assist our fellow-citizens in forming correct opinions concerning them. For if on these points they should entertain mistaken ideas, they might be in danger of losing substantial benefits, by aiming at those which are imaginary.
In some nations, the genius and habits of the people seem not to admit of a free Government;—they appear to be incapable of that just and reasonable obedience to the laws which is necessary in a free state. Few indeed have been wise enough to enjoy perfect liberty with moderation. How far the people of the United States are possessed of this wisdom must appear from the experiment, they are now making, upon the idea of which, every thing valuable to us depends. You, Gentlemen, I have no doubt, will be solicitous to contribute to its success, by a faithful discharge of your duty. But all the efforts of legislative wisdom will not be sufficient, without the aid of those institu-
tions, which form the manners and morals of the people; and which tend to inspire them with veneration for the Supreme Being, with reverence for just authority, and respect for themselves.
I HAVE received a letter from the Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, representing that the late act of the legislature making further provision in the Judicial department, is highly interesting to them personally, and as it affects their official responsibility. That these considerations have induced on their part a critical examination of the arrangement of the terms of the Court proposed by the act, and a consultation together upon the probable effects of the system in other views of it; the result of which is, a conviction, that the arrangement is in a great degree impracticable, and that the operation of the system will not, in any degree proportional to the inconveniences of it, promote the good intentions of the Legislature for the more efficient administration of justice. They have also stated the system which upon consideration they believe most conducive to the security of the citizens; and in order to communicate their ideas with more precision and accuracy, they have transmitted to me two bills, which comprise the particulars of that system. The latter and the bills will be laid before you by the Secretary; and I presume, you will consider the subject with that degree of attention, which is due to the importance of it, and to the opinions of the Magistrates by whom the alterations are proposed.
IN the course of this year there will be an election of President and Vice-President of the United States; and it will be incumbent upon the Legislature at the present session, to direct the manner in which the Electors on the part of this state shall be appointed. But, Gentlemen, it is unnecessary to mention the particular subjects which now require your notice. They will occur to your recollection, and I am persuaded, that you will attend to them with the fidelity and zeal, which an enlightened love of your Country inspires. For myself, I shall be solicitous to deserve the confidence, with which the people have repeatedly honored me, by co-operating with you in such measures, as shall tend to render the state respectable, to promote justice among our fellow-citizens, and to secure to them a life of quiet and tranquillity.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
BOSTON, JUNE 8. SURRENDER OF SURRINAM.
By the Sch. Jane, Capt. Meagher, arrived in Quarantine Road in 23 days from Surinam, a Dutch paper was received, which contains the articles on which that place was surrendered to the British on the 4th ult.—It is signed by Gen. Green and Com. Hood, on the part of the English, and Col. Batenburg, on the part of the Dutch. The Dutch garrisons were permitted to march from the forts with the honors of war; the Officers to retain their arms, the soldiers to ground their's, and to be sent to Europe as soon as good vessels could be procured, but not to carry arms against His Britannic Majesty. Article 5, proposed that no Dutch soldier should be employed in the British service—the answer was, that no Dutch soldier should be enlisted unless he was willing. The inhabitants were to be protected in their lives and property.
The following Proclamation was issued after the British had become possessed of the place.
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas the Settlement of Surinam, and its dependencies, has surrendered, to the arms of His Britannic Majesty, and thereby become a Colony of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, we have judged necessary by these presents, to enjoin all the good inhabitants of this place, to conduct themselves with regularity, and tranquillity and as behoves the Royal subjects of His said Majesty.—We do further give them the fullest assurance, that their professions, and property shall in every respect be secure, and protected, for which purposes the strictest orders have been given to the Troops—and that the interests of the inhabitants of Surinam, as His Majesty's Subjects, have been particularly recommended to us.
We do also make known to all persons that the Government of this Colony and its dependencies is to be held by Major General Sir CHARLES GREEN, until His Majesty's pleasure is known.
Given under our hands at Head quarters Paramaribo, the 7th May, 1804. & in the 44th Year of His Majesty's Reign.
God save the King.
Signed, CHARLES GREEN, SAMUEL HOOD.
In a Proclamation, dated May 8. Gen. Green declared, that the laws, customs, and usages, as they existed at the period of the colony being given up to the Batavian Government are to remain in force until His Britannic Majesty's further pleasure shall be known.
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated 30th of March.
Business is almost entirely suspended—and sales are made only for immediate consumption, in small quantities; whilst the impositions and difficulties of the custom house, add greatly to the other embarrassments. Among other abuses here, one of a nature extensive in its effects, and at the same
time easily remedied, ought generally to be made known to our countrymen, that they may be guarded against it. For some years past, certain needy commercial houses have employed brokers, as needy as themselves, to cruise on the river for American Vessels when they arrive, and by artful insinuations or irresistible importunities prevail on the captains to consign their ships and property to them; by which means, many have suffered from impositions and abuses, which they would have avoided by taking time to inform themselves of the character, credit, and responsibility of those to whom they confide their business. Of the brokers here is one Barthelemy Constantine, who has swindled the Americans out of thousands, and by his address and insinuating manners, continues to obtain a large share of the brokerage on American vessels. But there are many respectable commercial houses here, and good brokers, to whom our merchants may with perfect safety, address their business; and the captains in particular on arriving here, ought not hastily to put themselves in the power of the brokers they may meet on the river, nor consign themselves to their employers before they enquire of some of their countrymen who is and who is not to be trusted."
Massacre of all the whites at CAPE FRANCOIS.
By the Pilot Boat Grey-Hound, Capt. Sanford, in 16 days from Cape Francois, we have a confirmation of the massacre and pillage at that and other places of the island, by Gen. Dessalines' troops, which commenced on the 19th April, and was continued, without intermission till the 19th of May. All the French inhabitants, including men women and children, to the amount of two thousand and upwards were put to the sword or bayoneted at the Cape during the above period.
From the beginning to the end of the hellish work, the most unparalled cruelties were inflicted upon whites in a manner too shocking to relate.
Men, women and children were hacked down with twords and plunged with bayonets. Women with children in their arms, were seen flying through the streets to avoid their pursuers; and being overtaken by them, one thrust of a bayonet pierced both mother and child!
We are informed that Dessalines has decreed that any Frenchman henceforward who shall arrive in St. Domingo shall be put to death.—N. Y. Gaz.
Capt. Hamburg, of the packet arrived at Philadelphia, left Amsterdam on the 16th of April—at which time, he informs it was currently reported, that Moreau had been acquitted and released.
The First Consul of France has with his own hand written a letter to his commissary General at Tripoli, which has been forwarded by Mr. Livingston, demanding the release of the officers and men of the Philadelphia.
After the 20th of June inst. all goods, wares and merchandise, imported in American vessels, pay an additional duty of two and a half per cen. ad valorem.
We understand that Mr. MUNROE was to set out for Madrid when the last advices left London, to prosecute the negotiation long pending with Spain, and to settle the limits of Louisiana definitively, in a manner satisfactory to both nations.
PORTLAND. JUNE 7. REPUBLICANISM PROGRESSING.
The increase of Republicans in the Legislature of Massachusetts, is such as must be highly gratifying to every friend to the government, the prosperity and the honor of our country. Facts and figures supercede the necessity of comment. In the House of Representatives the choice of Speaker always decides the strength of political parties. The votes for that Officer, at the three last elections, stood thus:
   Republican. Federal.     In the year 1802, 47 110   1803, 73 124   1804, 103 129  
Thus, last year, the Republicans gained 26, and the Feds 14 upon their former number, making a Net Gain of TWELVE Republicans.
And at the Last Election, the Republicans had 30, and the Feds but 5 addition, making a Net Gain of TWENTY-FIVE Republican Representatives in our State Legislature.
It ought to be observed, that just before the last election of Representatives the Federal papers teemed with injunctions upon that party to use the greatest exertions, and send as many as the Constitution would allow—in compliance with which many Federal Towns increased, and some (besides Portland) doubled their Representation. On the other hand, the Republican papers were mostly silent on the subject, and left it to the judgement of the citizens;—dozens of Republican Towns (even in Maine District) were not represented, and many, who did not, might have trebled their Representation!
Proposals are issued by JONATHAN WARE, for publishing a Republican Paper at Danville, (Vermont) to be called the 'Northern Gazette.'

Portsmouth. TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1804.
New-Hampshire politically regenerated!
WE rejoice in communicating to our Fellow-Citizens, the happy issue of the Election. The House and Senate are decidedly Republican—The Hon. JOHN LANGDON, was appointed speaker of the House, and NICHOLAS GILMAN, Esq. President of the Senate. It is true the Feds have got a Governor, but Republicans have limited his power, and set bounds to the ambition of an usurping faction. It is more than probable that this State will approve of the amendment of the Constitution, and that one more effort will completely secure the full triumph of reason over blindness and folly. What more grateful to the feelings of every well-wisher to his country, than to witness the return of an apostate and Prodigal? Such has been the State of N. Hampshire, but convinced of its error, she has once more returned to her allegiance and is now ready to greet sister States. We dare pledge ourselves that no efforts whatever will induce the Citizens of this State again to sacrifice their freedom and happiness at the shrine of federalism, so called, but rather once more the blessings of Republicanism, they will rise superior to every craft and cheerfully contribute to maintain and protect the government of the Union no less than that of the State. We do not enlarge, but in common with others rejoice that we have thus favorable an account of this State to present to our readers.
The old Republican spirit of New-Hampshire revived, or the delusions of false Federalism dispipated by the light of truth.
SUMMARY OF N. HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
ON Wednesday the 6th instant the constitutional day for the organization of the various branches of the government—The members elected for legislation the ensuing year, assembled at Concord. In the afternoon the House proceeded to the choice of a speaker—when, on counting the ballots it appeared that Mr. LANGDON, the republican candidate had 83 votes, and Mr. PRENTICE, the former speaker and federal candidate, had 71 votes—Mr. LANGDON, of course was declared speaker. It appearing, that only 11 Senators had been elected by the People, viz. 6 Republican and 5 Federal—The Legislature, in convention proceeded to fill the vacancy in the District in which there had been no choice, when it appeared that Mr. WALDRON, the republican candidate had 94 votes, and Mr. Wingate, the federal candidate, 75 votes—the republican candidate was therefore declared duly elected. Several members having since taken their seats, it appears that the House of Representatives now consists of 159, of whom 89 are republicans and 70 federalists.—The Senate is composed of 7 republicans and 5 federalists; of course the Legislature has a republican majority in both branches. On Thursday the votes for Governor were canvassed, when it appeared that there were returned in season for Mr. GILMAN, 12216—
  By Piermont let aside, being given on the wrong day, 38   By Strafford not duly returned, 10   Whole number given by the people for Gilman, 12264 
  For Mr. LANGDON, returned in season, 12039   By Society-land, returned but not seasonably, 20   By Piermont, let aside, as above mentioned, 71   By Strafford not returned, 31   Whole number of votes given by the People for LANGDON, Scattering Votes, Making in all given by the People, 12151 
Of which 12227 were a majority, leaving Mr. Gilman, eleven less than a majority of the whole number of votes given by the people—But as from the aforementioned delinquencies of several towns, there were but 12216 votes for Mr. Gilman, counted by the Legislature—and counted for Mr. LANGDON, and scattering votes, 12039 making in the whole that were counted but 9482 of which the majority was 12142; Mr. G. of course had a majority of 71 votes of those that were counted by the Legislature—Mr. G. was therefore declared Governor, duly elected by a majority of 74 votes—tho' had all the votes given, been returned and counted, there would have been no choice by the People; who then would have been declared Governor, would not be difficult to predict.
The votes for Councillors were then canvassed, when it appeared, that 2 republicans were elected by large majorities, and 3 federalists; 4 of them
by very lean numbers.—The convention afterwards proceeded to the choice of a Secretary of the State, when the Federalists, suspecting that the venerable and upright Secretary PEARSON, who had served the public in that department more than 20 years, was not sufficiently devoted to their views, opposed the whole federal phalanx to his election in favor of another candidate—but the republicans, grateful for past services, re-elected the man, who had grown grey, tho' not like his coadjutors, rich, in the public service—Mr. Peabody, the late federal Treasurer was dismissed, and Mr. NATHANIEL GILMAN, brother to the Governor, but a republican, elected in his stead—Thus ends the history of the first week of the first session of the first Republican Legislature of New-Hampshire, since the late attempts to erect a Monarchy on the ruins of our Republican Government.
There could be no stronger evidence of the firmness and independence of the republicans in our Legislature, than was exhibited in the election of Mr. GILMAN for treasurer in the room of Mr. Peabody. As the popularity of Mr. Peabody is so extensive, and the attachment to his person so universal, that many who voted against him, did undoubtedly sacrifice private feelings, to the rectitude of political principles. And such men, (we may presume) did the interests of the people require it, would like the virtuous Brutus, immolate the dearest objects of their affections, as victims on the altar of their country.
  A synopsis of all the votes given by the People for Governor of this State, at the late election, viz.—   For Mr. GILMAN, duly returned and corrected, 12216   By Piermont, returned but not counted, 38   By Strafford, not returned, Whole number given thro' the State for Mr. Gilman, 12264   For Mr. LANGDON, duly returned and counted, 12039   By Piermont, dul. returned but not counted, 71   By Strafford not returned, By Society-land, returned, but not counted, Whole number given for Mr. LANGDON, 12151   Amount of votes for both candidates, Scattering, 24435   Whole number of votes given for Governor thro' the State, 24452   Whereof Mr. Gilman, had, 12216   11 
being eleven less than a majority of all the votes given.
Another Triumph for Republicanism. We fervently congratulate the citizens of New-Hampshire on the acceptance of the new and necessary designating principle in the Constitution, by the State of South-Carolina. It was adopted, in the House of Representatives by 65 to 25; and in the Senate by 29 to 9. The accordance of South-Carolina, with the NEW FEDERAL CONSTELLATION, is an event of the deepest importance. This preventive ordinance is now an essential and integral part of the National Law, and our turbulent and factious Aristocracy, must seek for other sources, to feed their mischievous and perturbed spirits.
This instance of legislative wisdom is doubly agreeable, inasmuch as it demonstrates, that the greatest alterations can be made in the Government of this country, in regard to the Executive power, without civil war or tumult—it can introduce or remove a lineament or imperfect member, without endangering the vital principle. In this vast feature it differs from any other existing Government, and commands an assent to the superiority of the Republican system, over that of Royalty or Oligarchy, however modified, or wherever practised.
The amendment of the Constitution has likewise unanimously passed the legislature of Georgia.
The following communication in the Annals of the Times , is truly laughable—"The election of Governor," &c. (in New-York) "commenced the 24th inst. The Aristocratic candidates are Jacob Lewis for Governor and John Broome for Lieut. Governor.—The Democratic candidates. Aaron Burr , for Governor, and Oliver Phelps for Lt. Governor." How ingenious these lucky newspaper scribblers are at Metamorphosing! They and their party assume the shape of republicans, or federal republicans; but it is not so cleverly done, but that their old ugly form peeps through the disguise, rendering them still more ridiculous.—The federal clergy too, step forth on the Theatre, as federal republican christians! but they are too blind to see the imperfections of their masquerade dress, which fails to hide their natural deformity. They are an inferior kind of leaders in the drama.—If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
The strange things presented to the public by the factious federalists are not to be wondered at, as coming from so polluted a source; nor do they afford any grounds for our concern, unless it be, that there are creatures in the human form so depraved and so ridiculous, malicious and restless, so given to lying, and so busily employed in fabricating, from their prolific brains, chimeras and absurdities. Their resentments and love of mischief have been remarkably shewn in their exertions for Mr. Barr, not from any esteem they have for him, but from opposition to our government and to stir up animosities and divisions, that they might gain something they hardly know what—for themselves. Their vexation further appears in their opposition to the temporary government for Louisiana, which is wisely and humanely adapted to their present situation, and under which they will enjoy liberty, property and religion, and without being burdened with taxes, and be ripened for the full enjoyment of all the blessings of liberty in a union with the American empire. But the evil minded federalists had much rather that country should become a scene of confusion & anarchy, than it should enjoy any form of happiness under the present government. The high minded federalists of our eastern states, who have been so eagerly engaged in the inhuman designs of dissolving the union, and erecting a kingdom to their own liking, scarcely know what they have been, and are still doing; if they did, they might perceive that, instead of forwarding their designs, they are but rapidly hastening their own political annihilation.
Men, employing their talents in defamation, propagating falsehoods and errors, and opposing, by every evil means, the government under which they live, and under which they might enjoy every blessing, not only act very absurdly and irrationally, but are the greatest pests to society, the greatest scandal to the religion they profess to be zealous for, and the worst of enemies both to God and mankind.—Yet good arises out of this evil: The eyes of people are opened to see the badness of the cause they advocate, & that the friends of monarchy are not the friends of mankind or of the country in which they live.
We are authorised to say that the Masonic Fraternity of this town, will not celebrate the ensuing festival of St. John the Baptist.

ODE, ON THE MONTH OF JUNE.
SWEETLY blushing May retires, With her early sportive train; Warm'd with bright ethereal fires, June assumes the brilliant reign. Now the rising southern gales Warmly court the nodding trees; Streams that wander through the vale, Curling to the passing breeze. Phœbus, from his throne on high, Shoes, with double lustre bright, Decking all yon azure sky With the radiant garb of light. From the southern climate borne, Summer hastens to please a while; Genial airs, at his return, Bid the lush season smile. Whil'st around the landscape glows, Thousand beauties gay are spread; Lo! the "fairest flow'r" that blows, Graceful blushing rears her head. Brown'er ombrage shades the woods, Plants assume a deeper green; Double radiance clothes the floods, Shot from yonder skies serene. Earth rejoicing bids display Stores produc'd by vernal showers, Scatter'd from her bounteous hand Early fruits and ling'ring flow'rs. Thus the hours in mazy dance, Follow still in time's career, 'Till Pomona's train advance Crowning the full ripen'd year. While the glowing scenes that rise, Still shall claim the poet's strain, (Warm'd by genial summer skies) June, to hail thy radiant reign.
