Political Miscellany.
From the Political Observer. GOVERNOR GILMAN. To examine candidly and thoroughly into the conduct of rulers, is not only a privilege, but it is the duty of freemen. Gov. Gilman's speech to the legislature, Dec. 1799.
This communication will consist of a few contrasts, selected out of a great variety which might be drawn, of the governor's official conduct at different periods of his administration. These are of minor consequence, yet when added to those of momentous weight which have been already presented, they will form a body of matter which cannot pass unheeded nor be esteemed of light consideration by the upright and independent citizens of this state.
Contrast 1.—First part.—At the time the British Treaty was made public in this country, some illadvised persons on the eastern part of this state, burnt the negotiator, Mr. Jay, in effigy, together I believe with some of the senators of congress who advised to its ratification. At the next session of the legislature the governor animadverted upon the transaction in his speech, in the following manner. [See Jour. of H. of R. for Dec. 1795, page 11.] "Shall the acknowledged able negotiator be so ill treated? Shall senators be burned in effigy for an opinion officially given? Surely virtue and a love of our country should forbid such things."
Counterpart.—The governor attended a review of the militia in the western part of this state in the year 1798, and at Jaffrey, on the 11th of Sept. he was present at the burning of two effigies, one of which was designed for Mr. Jefferson, but by advice was changed for Mr. Munroe, and one for Mr. Randolph. He knew of the design previous to the execution, as it was among the arrangements which were submitted to his inspection,—and though he might not stand and warm himself at the fires, yet he was in sight of the smoke, and in general terms expressed his high approbation of the manœuvres of the day. At the next session of the legislature he made no mention of burning effigies, nor offered a single remark distantly relating to that subject. These were effigies of Republicans.
Contrast 2.—First part.—At the time of the famous X. Y. Z. business, and during the whole course of sending ambassadors to France for the pretended purpose of pacification, in 1798 and '99, (previous to the last embassy, which was sent in earnest and obtained the object,) gov. Gilman held up, that peace was the real design of those overtures. In his speech of Nov. '98 are these words [See Jour. of H. of R. page 15.] "Peace on honorable terms is undoubtedly the desire of all good citizens. The President, in sending three envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary to the French Republic, in full evidence of his opinion on this subject."
Counterpart.—In the same speech of Nov. 1798 the Governor contributed his endeavors, so far as language could do to widen the breach between the two nations, and exasperate the French by unnecessary reproaches and flagrant criminations, which (to say the least) were very indecate, as coming from the governor of a respectable state, at a time when such earnest overtures were making for peace. Speaking of the French, [Page 13 and 14.] he charges them with "overturning ancient systems of government [meaning monarchy]—extending robbery & devastation as far as their forces could reach"—"contemning all moral and religious obligation; despising national compacts"—"insulting our government, and threatening us with the fate of nations they have degraded and destroyed, &c." Is this the language of peace, the expressions of a sincere desire for pacification? Is it not rather language designed to stir up angry passions in our own citizens, as well as provoke the nation against whom it was uttered, and to whet the sword of war? But as if once were not sufficient, he repeats the same language in his next speech to the legislature, [See Jour. for June 1799, page 29.] where he accuses the French government of "arts and intrigues"—of "having made havoc of mankind—destroying all the governments within their reach—made a mock of morality and religion" &c. &c. and he concludes this philippic with saying—"it is astonishing that any native citizen of our country should wish them success."
[Let the reader mark whether gov. G. if he should deliver another speech, and Strong, in deplored the want of "fueels" to the French Republic, and deducing warnings from its failure to preserve our own.] I will ask once more, is the above the language of peace? was it advisable to utter it, when sincere endeavors were making to close misunderstandings and heal the breach with that nation, and avert the horrid scourge of war?
Contrast 3.—First part.—The governor, in many of his speeches, during Mr. Adams's administration, took occasion to reprimand in a very serious tone the licentiousness of the press, and to disapprove as of fatal tendency the publications against the measures of the general government. In his speech of Nov. 1798 [See Jour. page 15.] is this passage—"our government has been traduced; attempts have been made and in some instances have succeeded, in exciting unreasonable jealousies among the people, persuading them that they have a separate interest from those whom they have elected to administer the government; no services, however arduous, faithful and disinterested, and however long continued, have been sufficient to secure from calumny some of our best citizens; and some of our periodical publications seem to be prostituted to this purpose."
Counterpart.—Since Mr. Jefferson came into office, the governor has been silent on the licentiousness and prostitution of the press, altho' the papers which he patronizes and peruses have endeavored to excite jealousies among the people and to persuade them that they have an interest widely different from those who govern them, and have heaped more scurility and abuse upon the general government, in one column, than were contained in all the republican newspapers on the continent, during the whole period of Mr. Adams's administration. Yea, he went so far, in June last, as to reject certain Resolutions of the legislature, offered him for his approbation which contained a censure upon the licentiousness of the press!
Contrast 4.—First part.—Previous to the election of Mr. Jefferson, the governor never failed to mention with great affection the federal government in his speeches, and the president in his religious proclamations, inculcating the great importance of the former, and the necessity of a perfect union, uniform and harmony between that and the government of the state. He applauded all expressions of the people or the legislature, of their acquiescence and confidence in the general government, and encouraged and invited them to make such expressions. To quote the passages to this purpose, is needless; they are numerous and lengthy, and no one can miss them who peruses his speeches previous to the year 1800. I cannot, however, pass in silence a very remarkable passage in his speech of Dec. 1795. [See Jour. page 12.] "For my own part," says he, "I freely declare that my confidence in the president &c. is not in the least degree impaired, and I find myself more zealously engaged to support the government and administrators than heretofore &c. Should any think I have unnecessarily introduced this subject, I can only say, it is with me a fixed sentiment, that our constituents have a right to expect from us AN EXPLICIT AVOWAL or PRINCIPLES, and OUR OPINION respecting the situation of their public affairs."
Counterpart.—Since Mr. Jefferson came into office the governor has shewn a cold neglect towards the administration of the general government, both in his speeches and proclamations—is himself an example of discord and discontent with its wise and most excellent measures—and when the legislature of the state, in June last, claimed a right to make, an explicit avowal of their principles and their opinion respecting the situation of public affairs, and passed resolutions for that purpose, the resolutions were treated not merely with a discouraging coldness from the governor, but were absolutely rejected by him, and the "constituents" were not permitted to hear the "express avowal of the principles and opinion" of the legislature. The governor in Nov. last, even spoke favorably of a proposed amendment to the U. S. constitution, which went to shake the Union of the states to the very foundation, and to annihilate the federal government. I might multiply these contrasts—I might hold him up to the mirror of the "Washington School," and contrast-
ing him with his own professions, show how his official conduct has egregiously departed from the genuine principles of that "school" and from the solemn advice and maxims of "Washington." I might compare his strong expressions of approbation and joy in that ill-omened treaty of Mr. Jay, by which millions were sunk to America, with his doubts and difficulties and want of information and on the whole disapprobation of the late Louisiana Treaty, which secured the most obvious and important benefits to our country—But the limits proposed to myself have been already exceeded; and I shall here close with a single explanation.
It is asked by some, Why, if gov. Gilman has been guilty of all these inconsistencies, they have remained unnoticed till this time? why were they not called up the last year and presented to the people? I answer—it was hoped, there would never have been an occasion to do it. Unwelcome is the task to an ingenuous mind to drag into public view and set in order the failings, or faults of a fellow creature, even his political or official faults, much more his private and personal. The latter I have left untouched, nor shall my pen ever be guilty of invading the recesses of private life to obtain materials for public accusation. It was confidently expected the last year by many (by myself certainly for one) that the governor intended to resign his claims for another election and not again stand a candidate for office. An expectation of this kind was excited by a step which he took at the close of the November session in 1803. For he then sent in an account of his contingent expenses, postage of letters &c. on public business for years back, together with an account how he had expended certain sums of money he had been authorised to draw from the treasury, and a particular request that those accounts might be adjusted and settled at that session. From his having never made such a communication before, it was taken for granted that he intended to decline another election. And I still think that this was then his intention, but that he was over-persuaded by his partisans afterwards to remain a candidate. If he had retired at that period, as the voice of the country loudly admonished him to do, his failings would gladly have been consigned to oblivion—but as he has passed the favorable and only honorable point of time for so wise a step, and as he stands apparently resolved to brave public sentiment to the last extremity, it is no more than just that he should be exhibited to his constituents as he has been, and he ought patiently to receive the scrutiny he has courted. A friend of Consistency.
JOHN LANGDON. After an examination of the official conduct of governor Gilman, which he has drawn forth by an unreasonable pertinacity in standing a candidate for an office already too long holden by him, it is proper that a few words should be offered relative to the candidate, whom public opinion has designated to succeed to that important station.
No one can say with absolute certainty that JOHN LANGDON would not commit as many errors as the person who has sustained the office of governor of this state now for eleven years, were he to be elected to that station and continue in it for so long a period. The future actions of individuals, with all the volume of futurity, are hidden from the eyes of mortals, and are known only to him who rules above. It is indeed a circumstance somewhat rare, that a man elevated to power and long enjoying its exercise, is so fortunate as to maintain a perfect consistency through all his public life. Hence the necessity and the great importance, not only of elective government, but of frequent elections. Generally speaking, perhaps one half of the time that Mr. Gilman has sustained the office of governor, is enough for one man to hold the reins of power. Yet if he proves incorruptible, if he continues steadfast in principle and maintains a line of conduct uniformly consistent, he may be employed with safety a longer period.
In selecting a candidate for a station of such consequence as the one now in question, we are to enquire what he has been, hoping that his future actions will partake of a resemblance to his past. The life of COL. LANGDON has not been obscure—it has been conspicuous in his native state, and in the United States, from the memorable acts

of 1774—and it can be truly said to be a life of consistency, of goodness and of glory. I shall not attempt a formal history—it is needless. A brief sketch must suffice.
As a gentleman, his politeness is distinguished—his manners are marked by a most agreeable urbanity and the strictest civility—his study is to make all happy in his presence, and to be of service to his fellow-creatures.
As a moral man, his life is without a blemish; and he exemplifies genuine Christianity in being just, loving mercy, and doing good to all men as he has opportunity. His religious principles partake of the liberality of the gospel of peace, and no sect has any thing to apprehend from his elevation to power—a sacred maxim with him is, that all denominations should be equally protected, and permitted to worship God freely according to the dictates of conscience.
As to science, his education has been such as to fit him for the prompt and intelligent discharge of the duties of any station, however exalted—to execute every business which can possibly come before him—and to appear with honor in the eyes of the learned, of strangers, of other governments and of the world.
As to the arts of life, which involve the great interests of the state, and by which his fellow citizens subsist, they have been the pleasing subjects of his study, and he possesses a very thorough understanding of their nature and importance. The farmer and mechanic are venerated by him, and he views in them the stability and excellence of the state. Of commercial relations abroad, and the connexion of every occupation of the citizens at home, his knowledge is deep and extensive, the fruit of observation and long experience in public business. Altho' a hearty well-wisher to commerce, yet his maxim has ever been to hold it as the handmaid, not as the mistress of AGRICULTURE. If their interests were to clash in any particular, the FARMERS were to be favored in preference to the merchants. Hence he has been a friend to the policy of the general government in deriving revenue by impost upon commerce, rather than by internal taxation upon mechanics and farmers.
As a soldier and patriot, Col. LANGDON has given proof of his just claim to these characters. So early as the year 1774, he exposed his life to destruction, his estate to confiscation, and his name to the infamy of a rebel and traitor, by an act as heroic as any which graced the revolution which followed. I allude to his landing on the island at the mouth of Portsmouth harbor under the terror of British artillery, and bringing off the magazines deposited there, which were of such necessity at that period. His youth probably saved him from being enrolled in the honorable list of PROSCRIBED PATRIOTS, with SAMUEL ADAMS and JOHN HANCOCK. He was early called to take an important part in the civil concerns of his country. This leads me to say, that,
As a patriot and statesman, few men have fairer claims to renown, or to the gratitude of his state and country, than Col. LANGDON. In the times which tried men's souls, he stood firm in the councils of this state and in the old congress, (of which he was a member as early as 1775,) against the unjust and arbitrary measures of Great Britain, and in favor of the cause of America and human rights. Never was he known to flinch in the darkest periods of the revolution; but with an ardor, which no reverse of fortune could dampen, and nothing but death extinguish, he pleaded the justice of his country's cause, and pressed forward in pursuit of her independence, until it was obtained. In this contest, his sacrifices of property were great and heavy, but they were regarded as nothing in comparison with the noble object in view.
Nor did his labors cease with the revolution. When it was discovered that the blessings obtained by Independence, were in danger of being lost for want of a more efficient national government, Col. LANGDON realized the importance of the crisis with vast concern: and when it was held doubtful, what the state of N. Hampshire would do on the subject, HE, with NICHOLAS GILMAN, our senator lately elected to congress, (it is said, at their own private charge,) repaired to the grand convention at Philadelphia, and were the ONLY persons from this state who assisted in forming our present NATIONAL CONSTITUTION. This instrument speaks more than volumes could do in praise of those statesmen: it is an eternal honor to the talents and political rectitude which framed it. Bright will those names go down to posterity, which are inscribed on that monument of wisdom, that matchless production of political skill, that palladium of our interests, and sheet-anchor of our safety. Let me again remind the reader, that the ONLY names which stand subscribed to that instrument, from New-Hampshire,
are JOHN LANGDON and NICHOLAS GILMAN, two men whom the Republicans of this state delight to honor. Col. LANGDON was the first who subscribed it, after Gen. Washington; and Mr. GILMAN was the second. These circumstances are at once creditable to those individuals, and to the cause by which they are supported.—With what face can our opposers accuse us at enemies of the constitution, when our candidates for the highest honors were the men, and the only men from our state, who assisted to frame that constitution, and the first to subscribe it?
About that period, Col. LANGDON was re-elected to the chief magistracy of this state, (having served one year before,) under the then title of President, but substantially the same office as that of Governor. In this capacity he officiated with great reputation to himself and benefit to the state: and it may be observed that the duties of that high station would not be new to him, should he now be elected to fill it. Hence the objection, that it is dangerous to change, is precluded.
When the constitution of the U. S. was ratified, which he had assisted to frame, Col. LANGDON was appointed the first senator from this state in congress; and he served two constitutional terms in that highly important and respectable station.—Interesting was the period that he was a member of the senate of the United States. In that body, as the constitutional depository of the secrets of administration, he became thoroughly acquainted with federal policy—under Mr. Adams he was witness to the unfolding of VIEWS and PLANS—he HEARD & SAW such things, as chilled his soul with horror, and induced him to take a resolute and determined stand against the obnoxious measures of that period, emphatically styled, the REIGN OF TERROR. He saw with grief, TORY principles triumphant: he heard Liberty decreed and mocked, republicanism contemned, unjust distinctions advocated, the doctrine avowed that a public debt was a blessing. He saw every British principle, & even their very measures, against which we rebelled as colonies, attempted to be introduced. A stamp-act, a sedition law, an excise, exorbitant loans and taxes, the system of patronage, enhancement of public debt, war—in a word, every cause, which roused Americans to resist the tyranny of Britain, he saw either in full operation, or in a train to be introduced into this happy country. He heard things from the very lips of president Adams, which I think not proper to rehearse. In short, he saw the corruptest principles of European government advocated, and the dreadful form of such government hastening with rapid strides to subvert our free constitution and liberties, and to establish here the odious system of legalized inequality, 'high and low tyrants and vassals.'
To the immortal honor of this PATRIOT, be it said, he proved incorruptible, incapable of being warped, incapable of renouncing the principles of FREEDOM, for which he fought, to which he had largely sacrificed—he stood firm and resisted the torrent which was to overwhelm the liberties of his country.—Consider reader, the circumstances in which Col. LANGDON made this noble stand: ALONE, as it were, amidst the members from New-England, he dared to be SINGULAR in the cause of the people, while he saw senators and representatives fall in with the current, who were either too feeble in nerve to resist, or too well pleased with the prospects before them to desire to stop the torrent. He nobly stood, when he knew the mighty delusion which was to be spread over the people by the host of his opponents, and expected to share the reproaches of his constituents and to forfeit his place and his honors.—I declare I hardly know which most to admire, the bravery & spirit shown by Col. LANGDON, in the revolution, against foreign oppression; or his manly resistance in congress against domestic;—his abhorrence of British tyranny; or his detestation of American.—It is the opinion of many, that the liberties of New-England, perhaps of the Union, owe their salvation to the firm and magnanimous stand made by Col. LANGDON in the Senate of the United States, at that eventful crisis.
What possible motive, besides a pure love of his country, can be ascribed to this gentleman for the part he took in those ever memorable affairs which transpired at that period? His natural disposition is the reverse of petulance and contention; he had honors and emoluments to lose, and nothing to gain: to this day he is experiencing the ungrateful reward of his faithfulness and intrepidity, in the obloquies of the party he resisted, and their extreme exertions to keep him strait of the honors he forfeited by his fidelity.—No, not the semblance of a motive can be assigned for the bold and independent course he pursued through those extraordinary times, but the consciousness of rectitude and the pure attachment of his heart to the freedom
and happiness of his country. It is hoped the justice of that country will speedily reward him according to his merits, and the state benefit her own interests by placing him at the head of her affairs.
After this brief and very imperfect sketch, I would observe, that an obvious trait in the public life and character of Col. LANGDON, is that of CONSISTENCY. Difficult as it is for men in conspicuous stations to maintain a perfect consistency thro' a long course of service, Col. LANGDON has clearly maintained it. For more than THIRTY YEARS has he filled important public offices, and he is the same now that he was at the beginning, an ardent friend of LIBERTY, a firm and incorruptible advocate of the RIGHTS OF MANKIND. Never has he deviated in one instance from the doctrines on which America asserted her independence and achieved her freedom: he was a WHIG then—he is a REPUBLICAN now: then he abhorred the maxims of the tory cabinet of Britain —he has since abhorred the same maxims transplanted into the councils of America.—In short, he is a character with which a people is seldom blessed, AN UPRIGHT, STEADY, CONSISTENT STATESMAN.
Should Col. LANGDON be elected to preside over this state as its first magistrate, it is presumed he would not be found signing amendments to the constitution at one period, and rejecting the same amendments (for weighty and solemn reasons) at another period—he would not be found tampering with the representatives of the people in favor of a particular Bank, and against another Bank, in order to save the "politics of the state from ruin"—he would scorn and abhor the attempt to govern FREEMEN by Bank influence, in preference to the noble sentiment of freedom—he would not be found recommending taxes when the treasury was full, saying "the people had ability to pay," and omitting to recommend them when the treasury was empty (because no more BANK-SHARES were to be purchased)—he would not be found censuring the licentiousness of the press at one time, & withholding his censure at another when the press was a thousand times more licentious—he would not be found exclaiming against the burning of effigies at Portsmouth, and three years afterwards be present at burning effigies at Jaffrey—he would not be found expressing a strong desire for peace with a foreign nation, and at the same time venting the most abusive epithets upon that nation, to exasperate them and stir up war—he would not be found rejoicing in such a ruinous Treaty as that of Mr. Jay's, & disapproving one of immense benefits like that of Louisiana,—he would not be found professing discipleship to the "Washington schools," and practically counteracting the most earnest advice of Washington—he would not be found recommending to the favor of heaven one president, and forgetting to mention another in his proclamations and prayers—he would not be found inculcating the strictest harmony between the federal and state governments at one time, and refusing to sanction the expressions of such harmony at another—in short, he would not be found in one part of his administration making every thing of the union of the states, cautioning against the most distant attempts to shake it or impair its principles, and afterwards bring forward with recommendations the resolutions of a madman in Massachusetts which aimed a deadly blow at that UNION by clipping the vital chords which sustained it.
Fellow-citizens of New-Hampshire! your INTERESTS and your HONOR will be promoted by electing JOHN LANGDON for your next governor. A FRIEND OF CONSISTENCY.
National Legislature.
Eighth Congress—Second Session.
SATURDAY, FEB. 2. The consideration of the report of the committee of claims on the claims for Georgia lands was resumed.
Mr. Clark's amendment still under consideration.
Mr. Holland at some length went into an argument in favour of the report.
Mr. Dawson considered it expedient to adopt the resolution, but not the amendment.
Mr. Nelson spoke at length against the claims.
Mr. Sloan followed on the same side.
Mr. Findley explained more fully his observations made on a former day.
Mr. J. Clay requested his friend Mr. Clark to withdraw his amendment, that the House might meet the question at once.
Mr. Clark thereupon withdrew the amendment.
Gen. Varnum stated the reasons upon which he was induced to vote for the resolution reported by the committee.
Gen. Stanton assigned his reasons for agreeing to the same.
Gen. Van Cortlandt moved to add to the end of the resolution, after striking out the word "finally" the following, "that the compromise shall not be considered binding on the United States, until confirmed by Congress."
On the request of Mr. J. Randolph, to withdraw his amendment, Mr. Van Cortlandt acceded as to all, that related to the insertion of the latter part, retaining so
much as related to striking out the word "finally."
Mr. J. Randolph spoke against retaining even that part.
Mr. Huger wished that part of the motion to obtain.
Mr. Jackson opposed the amendment.
Gen. Van Cortlandt withdrew the amendment.
Mr. Huger immediately renewed the same in which he was succeeded by Mr. Holland.
On the amendment Mr. Huger requested to be indulged, with the Yeas and Nays.
Only five members rose in favor of their being called.
The question on the amendment was then taken, and only six members rose in support thereof—of course it was lost.
The main question on agreeing to the resolution proposed by the committee of the whole was then taken by yeas and nays—Yeas 63 Nays 58.
The resolution was of consequence agreed to.
Mr. Dana moved to refer the resolution to the committee of claims to report a bill.
Mr. J. Randolph opposed the motion.—On a division of the House, Mr. Dana's motion was carried, when the House adjourned, about 4 o'clock.
MONDAY, FEB. 4.
Mr. J. Clay made a report in favor of authorizing the erection of a bridge over the Potomac, which was referred to a committee of the whole.
Resolved, That during the trial of the impeachment now depending before the Senate, this House will attend at 10 o'clock, A. M. and proceed on the legislative business before the House, until the hour at which the Senate shall appoint, each day, to proceed on the trial; and that the House resolve itself into a committee of the whole, and attend the said trial.
A message from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their secretary.
Mr. Speaker, I am directed to inform this House, that the Senate is ready to proceed upon the impeachment of Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court, in the Senate Chamber, which Chamber is prepared with accommodations for the reception of the House of Representatives: And then he withdrew.
The House then, in pursuance of a resolution agreed to, this day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole House, and proceeded in that capacity to the Senate Chamber, to attend the trial by the Senate of the impeachment against Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and after some time spent therein, the committee returned into the Chamber of the House, and Mr. Speaker having resumed the chair;
Mr. Varnum, from the said committee of the whole House, reported, that the committee had according to order, attended the trial by the Senate of the said impeachment, and that some progress had been made therein.
The several orders of the day were further postponed until to-morrow;

A message from the Senate by Mr. Otis their secretary.
Mr. Speaker, I am directed to communicate to this House a copy of the answer of Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States to the articles of impeachment exhibited to the Senate against him by this House: and he delivered in the same and then withdrew.
The said copy of the answer was read, and ordered to be referred to the managers appointed on the part of this House, to conduct the said impeachment.
On motion of Mr. Nicholson the answer was referred to the managers of the impeachment to report a replication.
Gen. Varnum presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Nantucket, stating certain inconveniences to which they were exposed in their commerce, and praying Congress to provide a remedy for the same, and on motion the petition was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. John Randolph, from the managers appointed to conduct the impeachment against Samuel Chase one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States, to whom was this day referred the copy of an answer of the said Samuel Chase, to the articles of impeachment exhibited to the Senate against him by this House, made a report which he delivered in at the clerk's table, where the same was read, and is as follows:
"That they have considered the said answer, and do find, that the said Samuel Chase hath endeavored to cover the crimes and misdemeanors laid to his charge, by evasive insinuations and misrepresentations of facts; and that the said answer does give a gloss and colouring utterly false and untrue to the various criminal matters contained in the said articles; and do submit to the judgment of the House, their opinion, that for avoiding any imputation of delay to the House of representatives, in a case of so great moment, a replication be, forthwith, sent to the Senate, maintaining the charge of this House; and that the committee had prepared a replication accordingly, which they herewith report to the House," as follows:
The house of representatives of the United States have considered the answer of Samuel Chase one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States to the articles of impeachment against him by them exhibited in the name of themselves and of all the people of the United States, and observe,
"That the said Samuel Chase, hath endeavored to cover the high crimes and misdemeanors laid to his charge, by evasive insinuations and misrepresentations of facts; that the said answer does give a gloss and colouring utterly false and untrue, to the various criminal matters contained in the said articles; that the said Samuel Chase did, in fact, commit the numerous acts of oppression, persecution and injustice, of which he stands accused: and that the house of representatives, in full confidence of the truth and justice of their accusation, and of the necessity of bringing the said Samuel Chase to a speedy and exemplary punishment, and not doubting that the Senate will use all becoming diligence to do justice to the proceedings of the house of representatives, and to vindicate the honor of the nation, do aver their charge against the said Samuel Chase to be true; and that the said Samuel Chase is guilty in such manner as he stands impeached; and that the house of representatives will be ready to prove their charges against him, at such convenient time and place as shall be appointed for that purpose."
On motion of Mr. J. Randolph the House took the said replication into consideration.
Mr. R. Griswold moved to commit the same to a committee of the whole House.
Mr. Elliot supported, and Mr. J. Randolph opposed the motion.
The question being put the same was rejected.
Mr. Dennis moved to amend the replication by striking out therefrom after the words "and observe" the following words: "that the said Samuel Chase hath endeavored to cover the high crimes and misdemeanors laid to his charge, by evasive insinuations and misrepresentation of facts; that the said answer does give a gloss and colouring utterly false and untrue, to the various criminal matters contained in the said articles."
The question was taken on this motion by yeas and nays, and lost—yeas 41—nays 70.
The main question was then taken on agreeing to the replication, and carried in the affirmative—yeas 77—nays 34.
It was then resolved, that the replication annexed to the report of the managers, be put into the answer and pleas of the aforesaid Samuel Chase, on behalf of this House; and that the managers be instructed to proceed to maintain the said replication at the bar of the Senate, at such time as shall be appointed by the Senate.
Ordered, That a message be sent to the Senate, to inform them that this House have agreed to a replication, on their part, to the answer of Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States to the articles of impeachment exhibited to the Senate against him by this House, and have directed the managers appointed to conduct the said impeachment, to carry the said replication to the Senate, and to proceed to maintain the same at the bar of the Senate, at such time as shall be appointed by the Senate.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the frigate Constitution, dated Syracuse harbour, Nov. 9th, to his friend in New York, received by the John Adams.
"We have had no intelligence lately from our prisoners in Tripoli; our last accounts left them in close confinement. Naples is in possession of the French, and the royal family are at Palermo. The town of Almeria, in Spain, has been sunk by an earthquake.—Lord Nelson is going to England on account of his ill state of health, and, it is said, is to be succeeded in the command by Sir John Orde. The Mediterranean is very quiet as to warlike operations: we are at present the only noisy people in it. Our force will consist of twenty gun boats 5 bomb vessels, 5 frigates, 3 brigs, and 2 schooners, with which we shall renew the attack on Tripoli in the spring, if the bashaw continues the war until that time, which we understand he is determined to do."
The John Adams, U. S. ship of war, has arrived at N. York from the Mediterranean, with Commodore Preble on board, together with several Tripolitan prisoners.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 15. Counting of the electoral votes for President and Vice President.
On Wednesday, agreeably to resolutions previously entered into by the two Houses of Congress, the Senate of the United States received in their Chamber the House of Representatives, for the purpose of opening and counting the returns and votes of the Electors of President and Vice President.
About 12 o'clock the Senate took their seats; and immediately after the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives, entered; the Speaker and Clerk occupying seats on the floor on the right of the President of the Senate, and the members of the House being seated in front.
Mr. Samuel Smith, teller on the part of the Senate, and Mr. Joseph Clay, and Mr. Roger Griswold, tellers on the part of the House, took their seats at a table placed in front of the Chair, in the area between the Senate and House.
The Secretary of the Senate read the resolutions, above stated, of the two Houses.
The President (Mr. Burr) stated that pursuant to law there had been transmitted to him several packets, which, from the endorsements upon them, appeared to be the votes of the Electors of a President and Vice President; that the returns forwarded by the mail, as well as the duplicates sent by special messengers, had been received by him in due time.—You will now proceed, gentlemen, said he, to count the votes as the constitution and laws direct—adding that, perceiving no cause for preference in the order of opening the returns he would pursue a geographical arrangement, beginning with the northern states.
The President then proceeded to break the seals of the respective returns, handing each return, and its accompanying duplicate, as the seals of each were broken, to the tellers through the Secretary; Mr. S. Smith reading aloud the returns, and the attestations of the appointment of the electors, and Mr. J. Clay and Mr. R. Griswold comparing them with the duplicate return lying before them.
According to which enumeration, the following appeared to be the result,—For President & Vice President, Thomas Jefferson and George Clinton ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO votes, each; C. C. Pinckney and Rufus King, FORTY-EIGHT each.
After the returns had been all examined, without any objection having been made to receiving any of the votes, Mr. S. Smith, on behalf of the tellers communicated to the president the foregoing result, which was read from the chair; when, the vice-president said, upon this report it becomes my duty to declare, agreeably to the constitution, that THOMAS JEFFERSON is elected President of the United States, for the term of four years from the 3d day of March next, and that GEORGE CLINTON is elected Vice-President of the United States, for the term of four years from the 3d day of March next.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated Jan. 9th. received per the ship Neptune, arrived last evening.
"This port is blockaded by the British, both for vessels coming in and going out; an Official Letter, declaring the blockade, has been sent in (which the writer saw) to the Governor, desiring him to inform all the foreign Consuls thereof. The declaration of War was made by the King of Spain some days ago—wheat, corn, rice, &c. &c. will be very high the ensuing year, owing to the heavy rains, which have rotted all the grain in the ground, and of course the foreign grain will be very short. The situation of this country is very distressing and I fear will be much worse."
LATEST—FOREIGN.
His Britannic Majesty's speech, to Parliament, on the 15th of January, notices among other things the extensive armaments made by the French, to invade the kingdom; and the counter arrangements which he had made to ward off the blow. With regard to Spain, he observes, that the influence and control which the French had over the cabinet at Madrid, had rendered it necessary to make use of coercive measures, to maintain the safety and dignity of the nation. He informs that Pacific Overtures had been made by the French, but they were of that nature which constrained him to act with great caution and circumspection, until he had consulted those Powers, on the Continent with which he was in friendship, especially the Court of St. Petersburg. His Majesty then, as usual, laments the burthens which the war had occasioned to be laid on his subjects; calls on them in the most ardent manner to exercise patience, under temporary inconveniences, by a persuasion that they were necessary to the support of those civil and religious liberties which were exclusively the birthright of Englishmen!
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1805.
THIS DAY!
Fellow-Citizens,
To your Posts! To your Posts! EVERY thinking man must consider the faithful discharge of the important duty to which he is this day called, as of the greatest consequence to the interests, the happiness, and the honor of his country.
If, fellow-citizens, you wish to enjoy the blessings of a government administered on the sacred and salutary principles of Liberty; if your souls disdain the idea of being dupes of men seeking to establish an arbitrary government in this State—men who are in unison with an unprincipled junta, thrusting even to madness, for the dissolution of our union, a separation of the States, and the establishment of a despotic rule in New-England,—in which, were it possible for them to succeed, a more terrific scene of tyranny and oppression would be exhibited in this now happy country, than ever yet cursed mankind.
You have had time sufficient, and you have been solemnly called to think and decide for yourselves, on the characters, views and designs of men; and you must discern, that the gentlemen proposed to you, idely differ in their views and sentiments, from those on the federal ticket. The former love liberty and glory, in a Constitution framed by the best of men, and admired by the wisest of all nations—The latter you must perceive to be led by a spirit that would destroy our Constitution, and tare up the pillars that support our liberties. Let your firmness and unanimity this day prove your superiority to the haughty threatenings, the mean, cringing, and insinuating wiles of a desperate faction.
Fellow-citizens—Let not your inactivity prove your ruin; but at an early hour be at your posts, provided with the following TRULY REPUBLICAN list of votes:—
For Governor—
Hon. John Langdon, Esq.
Councillor for Rockingham county—
Hon. LEVI BARTLETT.
Senator, District No. 1.
Hon. CLEMENT STORER.
NATH'L GILMAN, County Treasurer.
JOSIAH ADAMS, Recorder of Deeds.
Representatives for Portsmouth—
Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq.
ELIJAH HALL, Esq.
CHARLES CUTTS, Esq.
Mr. WILLIAM HAM, jun.
These are the men that will serve you faithfully. These are the men who will preserve your rights and privileges unimpaired to generations yet unborn!
The subscriber begs leave to inform his friends, and the Republican electors in the county of York. That being governed by true Republican motives and a desire to unite in the following Republican Ticket, conceives it his duty to decline the senatorial nomination as stated in the Eastern Argus.
ALEXANDER RICE.
Kittery, March 2, 1805.
General Election in Massachusetts.
At a numerous meeting of the Friends of the present national administration, assembled from every district in the Commonwealth, it has been unanimously determined to support
FOR GOVERNOR the
Hon. JAMES SULLIVAN, Esq.
AND THE
Hon. WILLIAM HEATH, Esq.
For Lt. Governor, at the ensuing election.
The following gentlemen have been nominated as Senators in their respective Counties.
 Berkshire... Hon. JOHN BACON, Dr. TIMOTHY CHILDS.  Hampshire... JONA SMITH, jr. Esq. EDWARD UPHAM, Esq. SOLOMON SMEAD, Esq. BENJAMIN SMITH, Esq.  Worcester... EDWARD BANGS, Esq. Gen. JOHN WHITING, SAMUEL JONES, Esq. PLINY MERRICK, Esq.  Norfolk... Hon. JOHN ELLIS, Hon. JOHN HOWE.  Bristol... Hon. JOSIAH DEANE, Hon. NATH'L MORRIS, jr.  Barnstable... Hon. JOHN DILLINGHAM, Esq. Hon. ISAAC COFFIN.  Dukes, &c. Hon. JOHN WOODMAN, Hon. JOSEPH BARTLETT.  York... Hon. CHARLES TURNER, DANIEL ILSLEY, Esq.  Cumberland... Hon. DANIEL ILSLEY, Esq.  Kennebec... Mr. NATHAN WESTON. 
Twelve of the seventeen states, have Republican governors and legislatures—two of the remaining five have Republican legislatures—and but three states are governed by men of that party term'd Federal. In the next congress, in senate there will be twenty seven Republican members, and but seven Federalists. In the house of representatives the accession of Republican strength will be equally great.
Republican Ticket.
Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq.
GOVERNOR.
COUNCILLORS.
LEVI BARTLETT, Rockingham.
JOSEPH BADGER, Strafford.
BENJAMIN PEIRCE, Hillsborough.
NAHUM PARKER, Cheshire.
EZRA BARTLETT, Grafton.
SENATORS.
 CLEMENT STORER, District No. 1.  RICHARD JENNESS, No. 2.  WILLIAM WHITE, No. 3.  JOHN BRADLEY, No. 4.  JOHN WALDRON, No. 5.  NATHAN'L SHANNON, No. 6.  JEDEDIAH K. SMITH, No. 7.  ROBERT ALCOCK, No. 8.  ELISHA WHITCOMB, No. 9.  Geo. GEO. ALDRICH, No. 10.  JESSE JOHNSON, No. 11.  WILLIAM TARLTON, No. 12. 
Another Federal trick.
As reports have been industriously circulated in various parts of this State, particularly in the neighbourhood of Exeter, that the Hon. Levi Bartlett, of Kingston, is a candidate for the office of Governor. We are authorised to say, that Col. Bartlett does not consider himself as a candidate for that office; and that, altho' his talents and services may entitle him to the highest confidence of his fellow-citizens, he has no desire for, nor would accept the office if elected. This information may defeat the design of bringing this popular character into view at this moment, and prevent the division in republican votes, which the report was intended to create.
Extract of a letter, dated,
"WASHINGTON, FEB. 22.
"The enclosed bill has passed the senate and is now before the house of representatives."
"Nothing of very great importance at present occupies Congress except the trial of Chase. The testimony was closed on the 20th, and the argument on the part of the impeachment, opened by Mr. Early of Georgia, who in a speech of about two hours, did great justice to the subject. He was followed by Mr. Campbell, of Tennessee, who spoke about an hour and an half, when, at the request of the managers, the court adjourned till yesterday morning. The argument was continued for about an hour by Mr. Campbell; Mr. Clark, of Virginia followed in a speech of about half an hour. The defence was then commenced by Mr. Hopkinson, of Philadelphia, who confined himself to the charge in relation to the trial of Fries: he spoke about three hours. We shall have speaking enough before all is over. Key, of this place, I understand, is to speak to day; and the celebrated Luther Martin says he must have a day at the least. Randolph has been so unwell that he has not been able to attend these two days past. I shall regret exceedingly if we lose his eloquence on this occasion. His late speech on the Georgia Claims is not transcended by the effusions of the first parliamentary orators in England. If he is well enough to attend, Nicholson and him will close by replying to the defendant's counsel."
ST. DOMINGO.
Accounts from Cape-Francois, to the 11th ult. have been received.—Business was then languid. Coffee scarce. An expedition, 15000 strong, was to march against the city of St. Domingo, in a few days. The French privateers in the Bite are numerous, and saucy.
Commodore Preble—The President of the United States in a message covering a detailed account of the transactions in the Mediterranean, pays a high compliment "to the energy and judgment displayed by this excellent officer, through the whole course of the service lately confided to him." And Mr. Jackson has introduced into the Senate, a vote of the thanks of Congress, and a gold medal to this gallant and meritorious officer.
Wanted Immediately,
A few bottles of TEARS that will be shed by Judge Chase during his impending trial: If any one is curious to learn what we intend to do with them, our answer is ready.—We wish to try to wash out the following lines on the page of the American history: "July 6, 1778. Congress meaning to procure provisions upon the easiest terms, appointed a committee to make the purchases; but Mr. Chase, one of the Maryland Delegates, improved the knowledge his seat secured him, for directing in season a private acquaintance to buy; and thereby counteracted the Committee so effectually, that they could not answer the end of their appointment. It is no extravagant conjecture that Mr. Chase shared in the profits made by his communications." See History of the American Revolution, 2d vol. page 381. (Repub. Adv.)
MARRIED.
In this town, Mr. HENRY PARKER, to Mrs. HANNAH MILLER.

TO * * *
LIKE the meteor's vivid light, Gilding all things as it goes; Like a vision to the sight, Like the beauty of the rose; Are the moments past with you, As bright, as sweet, as transient too. Dreary as night's darkest veil, When the wind of winter roars; Tedious as an idiot's tale, Comfortless as barren shores, To me appears the brightest day, Or gayest scene, and you away. Radiant as the rising day, Calm as an unruffled sea, Enlivening as returning May, Sweet as blossoms to the bee, The dullest day, and scene most drear, Appear to me, if you are near. * * *
COMMUNICATION.
On hearing the ringing of the Bells in this town, on the 4th March, I was put in mind of what I once heard concerning an old fashioned clergyman; he had preached almost one whole winter from these words, "And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever." In the spring the old gentleman rode out of town, and was gone several days; returning home, he heard the bell toll; seeing a boy near, he asked him what the bell tolled for. "Why (said he) I suppose Simon's wife's mother is dead, for you have told us all winter that she was sick." By the bells we at least suppose FEDERALISM is dead, for it has lain sick of a violent fever, attended with convulsions for four years past. —If Federalism is dead, it must be that its unskillful friends have not administered the right medicine for such a fever. Their plan of choosing Electors for President and vice President, appears to me like the boys killing his grand mother, while he meant to do her a kindness; —seeing her asleep in the day time, and observing a fly biting her temples; to relieve his grand mother, and punish the fly for his ill treatment, he took a small hammer to strike the fly; in doing this, he scared the fly away, and struck the hammer through the old lady's temple, that she died immediately: —Thus has Federalism been treated, through the kindness of her grand children.

Piscataqua Bridge.
THE Directors of Piscataqua Bridge Proprietors, have this day voted an assessment of TEN DOLLARS , on each and every Proprietors share; and directed the Treasurer to collect the same within one month from the date. The Proprietors are therefore requested to pay the same to the Treasurer, at his office in Portsmouth, on or before Wednesday, the third day of April next .
The Proprietors are informed that each year since the Bridge was built, there has been a progressive increase of toll: the amount collected the last year, is more than six per cent. on the first cost. But the repairs the last year, with what must necessarily be expended the ensuing season, for which large advances have already been made by the Directors, amount to more than the toll collected since the last dividend. The proceeds of the lottery cannot yet be realised.
