The Rural Loiterer—No. III.
Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Eliza, saying; Thy servant, my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bond-men. II Kings, iv. 1.
HOW degrading to the name of man is the infamous commerce in the flesh and blood of our own species! The other parts of creation, and particularly some animals of the most unpolished and ferocious kinds, seek not the destruction of their own species.—The roaring Lion, which traverses the uncultivated plains of Africa; the fierce Leopard, and the furious Tiger, has not so far broken the laws of nature, as to crimson its jaws, and satiate its appetite, on an animal of the same species with itself.—But man, civilized and human man, does worse than to plunge the dagger of death into the bosom of a fellow creature who is incapable of giving him the smallest offence. Yes, man, who is nearer allied to the Deity, than any other part of creation, crosses the wide Atlantic, to enslave his brother "because his head is woolly and his skin is dark."
It is avarice, that baneful passion of the human heart, which stoops to the meanest and the most execrable means to promote its favorite views, that first introduced a traffic, which ought to have branded its inventor with the blackest infamy. What! shall man carry the sword of freedom in one hand and the chain of slavery in the other!—Shall the voice of humanity be stifled by the vociferous tongue of public or private interest!—O shame on the character of man, when he can range the African coast, and bear an ignorant people from their native soil; from the dear embraces of each tender friend! Can there be any so stupid, or partial to themselves, as to suppose Deity has intended the unfortunate inhabitant of Africa for a slave to his lordly and powerful neighbor! If there is, I would say,
"Send your stern gaze from Lapland to the line, And every region's natives fairly scan, Their forms, their force, their faculties combine And own the vast variety of man."
Some noble exertions have been made in the British House of Commons to suppress this abominable commerce; and a certain member has merited the wreath of humanity by his great exertions, in favor of the wretched African.
Humanity is certainly as brilliant a virtue, as enters into the composition of the mind of man; and in performing humane actions there is a sensation, grateful as that "limpid stream to a thirsty swain." In my text, we hear the unaffected complaint of an unhappy mother, from whom the avarice of an unfeeling creditor was going to tear the children of her bosom.
How pathetic is her complaint to the good prophet Eliza!—He, unlike the flinty bosom of the merciless creditor, was moved with the "tender tale," and by the assistance of Heaven, which ever attends the virtuous and the good, concerted means whereby to prevent the unhappy young men from becoming "bondmen," or slaves, "a merciless tyrant." How often it happens that those who are our greatest intimates and acquaintances, but who do not deserve the name of friends, when we are in prosperity, become our most powerful and greatest enemies in adversity, which, probably, was the case with the woman in my text;—when her husband was living the creditor was all affability and kindness, but the moment he is dead, and there is no prospect of obtaining any more "loaves and fishes," his friendship vanishes, like the shining stars at the approach of morning, and almost tempts us to say,
"Ah, what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep; A shade that follows wealth and fame, But leaves the wretch to weep!"
But altho' there are some apostates, who, like the creditor in my text, would gladly make slaves of the offspring of their departed friends, yet
we must not conclude that there are none, who, like the faithful spaniel, will remain an unaltered friend on the most distressing emergencies.
Yes, the Rural Loiterer firmly believes that there are some, even in this degenerate age, who would attend their friends in the dismal dungeon, provided their misfortunes were not the effects of their own vices, as readily as they would were their friends seated under a canopy of gold.—
Fearing my hearers are already tired, I will conclude with the following
LES ON THE UNHAPPY SLAVE.
From yonder plain I hear the mournful cries Spreading along the island's rocky shore; The plaintive accents sound to yonder skies, And Heaven's assistance seemingly implore. "From native soil, from all we held most dear, From parents, brothers, wives and children torn; Great power above, our suppliant voices hear: Long, long the whip of slavery we've borne.— Oft on the burning sands, by age oppress'd, Beneath the scorching rays of yonder sun, Deni'd of food, by restless hunger prest; Long for the circle of our lives to run." Heaven heard the groans of the unhappy slave. And frown'd indignant at the cruel wrong; Then to his bosom strength and courage gave To meet the bullet* and to face the throng. Nor shall the land where whips of slavery dwell Be blest with peace, or sweet contentment know, But burning fevers† in their hearts shall feel And from their veins the crimson liquid flow
* Alluding to the insurrections of the blacks in the West-Indies.
† Plagues were scattered among the Egyptians for their oppression of the Jews; and the Rural Loiterer would ask why we may not attribute similar effects to the same cause?
OLD SOUTH.
From the Chronicle.
Text.—"And when the Town-Clerk had appeared the people, he laid, ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess DIANA, and of the image which fell down from JUPITER? seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly. For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. Wherefore, if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open and there are deputies; let them implead one another."
THE Scriptures were written for edification, and if we practice the doctrines they inculcate, we are promised, not only the blessings of this life, but that which is to come. If any book inculcates Republicanism, and reprobrates an Aristocracy, either civil or ecclesiastical, it is the Bible. The whole tenor of the sacred writings runs in unison with the rights of "THE PEOPLE," in opposition to a certain "self created" body, who assume the power to dictate and controul public opinion. The "multitude," and "the people," are the only objects contemplated in all the addresses made by our Saviour and his Apostles. If they now were on earth, their language would be stigmatized as Jacobinism and Illuminati—if we heard them denouncing one monarchical magistrate as a "whited Sepulchre"—if we saw them whipping out the money changers—if we found them assembling the multitude, speaking to the people, and in every instance reprobating the Chief Priests as hypocrites and deceivers, our Federal Gentry would be clamorous in vociferating "away with them, away with them"—"crucify him, crucify him."
The story of Paul's entering Ephesus, is a true representation of Church infatuation, when set in motion by a few interested individuals. On his arrival, and in order to counteract Paul's ministration, the seven sons of one Sceva, "Chief of the Priests," attempted to exercise the miraculous power of casting out evil spirits; but tho' this same Sceva could deceive the people, yet he could not deceive the Devil, for the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them and prevailed against them, and Sceva's seven sons fled out of the house naked and wounded. In this instance, Satan himself seemed to act with some generosity, for the evil spirits retorted on these deceivers with a degree of severity—"Je-
sus we know, and Paul we know, but who are ye?" It is probable this Sceva was an artful Priest, who had made himself very busy in exciting alarms among the People; had told them that there was an organized body of Illuminati, who were going to overturn all Religion; had propagated stories about massacres, and that the world was going to be turned upside down. Sceva, therefore, thought he was competent to set up in opposition to Paul, and by a little stratagem could make his exorcism appear the genuine display of evangelical influence. In consequence of these artful proceedings, he and his seven sons had gained to themselves a high reputation at Ephesus, and the people, acting under their infatuation, were led to lay violent hands on the Apostles. The first attack on Paul, however, did not succeed—Sceva was proved an impostor, and his sons were obliged to flee out of the house naked and wounded.
At length a more powerful antagonist appeared; one Demetrius, a silver-smith, who made shrines for Diana, assembled his fellow craftsmen, and began a most violent onset, by crying out, "the Craft is in danger! great is Diana of the Ephesians." He further declared, if these men were suffered to proceed, the profits of his business would cease, and emphatically concluded, "Ye know that by this Craft we get our wealth." This hue and cry put the whole city in confusion, some cried one thing and some another, and for two hours was heard the incessant clamour of "great is Diana of Ephesus." Who could have thought a silver-smith, in the city of Ephesus, could have raised such a formidable party?
In this state of things, what must have been the situation of Paul and his companions? Sceva and his seven sons wounded and naked; Demetrius with his whole body of silver-making gods, routing the people to the highest pitch of resentment; the whole city in uproar, against two or three unarmed men; and it is to be feared, if the Town-Clerk had not come forward, at this critical moment, to appease the people, they would have been stoned, or put to death, by Demetrius and his associates.
In this part of my observations, the reflections which naturally occur are—that when any doctrine is inculcated, or any measure pursued which interfere with the interest of men, who practice on the religious prejudices of the people, it is their custom, to alarm them that all their religious ceremonies are to be abolished, and to excite a jealousy and enthusiasm against the men who are endeavoring to relieve them from their imposition.—This uproar was occasioned by Demetrius, not that he cared for the temple, otherwise than by making shrines, by which he and his fellow-craftsmen had enriched themselves, at the expence of the ignorant Ephesians. If the Apostles had proposed a number of golden or silver cruifixes, or had ordered a large paraphernalia of plated decorations for the altar, and had employed Demetrius to make them, it is probable he would have been among the foremost to escort Paul into Ephesus; no doubt there would have been a high cavalcade, consisting of Demetrius workmen, Priests of the temple and all the expectant, "more or less," of the Apostles' patronage; songs would have been sung in praise of Paul, and his religious system; addresses would have been presented from all the various orders of church and State; Sceva and his retinue would have been clothed in sacerdotal robes, and probably would have delivered an oration in favor of this modern philosophy. A public dinner would have been provided; a poet-laureate chosen, and possibly all the young men been called on to celebrate the dissolution of the religion of Diana; and the city would have been in uproar with "Great is Paul of Macedon," instead of "Great is Diana of the Ephesians."
But it was not so—the Christian system offered no such excitements. Without purse, without scrip, the Apostles had to travel from city to city; they were at war with all money-getting religion, they were not helping the magistrate to impose on the people, or the priest to attach the civil code to the horns of the altar—even the religion itself was offered "without money and without price." No
Peter Pence was connected with Paul's embassy; what he got by the sale of his tents, was the principal part of his support. Who then can be surprised, that an uproar should be raised at Ephesus, where the religion of Paul struck all the silver gods out of existence. If Paul's religion had succeeded, how many temple workmen would have been out of employ—poor Demetrius would have been obliged to seek another mode of religion. Even though this silver-smith might have been employed in copper, or he might have turned his attention to the iron foundry; but still the little silver gods was a sure and lasting line of business, and he did not know how long the other might continue. If the Goddesses was destroyed, all his other employment was uncertain; he might have been permitted to fulfil some previous contract, but the Temple, the Temple being annihilated, all the rest was as the "baseless fabric of a vision."
But the principal character in this story is the Town-Clerk. What an excellent thing it is to have a good town Clerk. Whether they chose this officer annually, or whether he was turned out the next election, for the part he took against the Priest Sceva, and Demetrius the silver-smith, we are not told, but that he acted like an honest man on the present occasion, cannot be controverted. Amid the general convulsion of the citizens, and in opposition to the prevailing party he had the resolution to speak to the people, and caution them against proceeding too rashly with the Apostles.
It does not appear that he concerned himself about the wounded sons of Sceva, or addressed himself to Demetrius, but he made immediate application to "THE PEOPLE." He began his speech with "Ye men of Ephesus," and in order to give the true meaning of what I propose in this number, I will attempt to modernize his language, & apply my discourse through the medium of the Town-Clerk.
"Ye men of Ephesus," why is all this uproar in the city? The men whom you charge with destroying Religion, and robbing the Churches, have in no instance done as you have been instructed. The Churches remain in the same state of quietude as before, and the funding system (the modern Temple of Diana) and all the other pecuniary establishments, are more permanent than under your former establishment. If Demetrius cannot get so much profit by his craft, yet you get more for your six per cents. your bank stocks, and all other matters connected with your fiscal arrangements, if you are relieved from your stamp duties, land tax, loans at an extra interest, yet, if Demetrius, by this measure, find a drawback in his income, so much money is saved in your own pockets.—Why then are you disturbed? What profit is it to you, to feed men who live by your earnings, and when every shilling they gain is a discount from your living? If the government is thus administered for your benefit, why should you make a riot because a number of banglers on , are shaken off as an incumbrance. Do the wheels of government need a clog? If 5000 men can be set at work to earn a living, without being burthensome to the community (as excise-officers, stamp-officers, &c.) is it any disadvantage to those who had to pay them? If the President tells you, he can answer all public exigencies without these Taxes, why are you clamorous to burden yourselves, when he says he does not require it? We have a great number of Demetriuses who live by the craft of deception, & when they are thrown out of business, they will make a great noise and disturb the city; but what is Demetrius to you? By feeding him, you starve yourselves. While he is furnishing silver gods at your expence, to burnish up the temple of Diana, you are growing poor, and depriving your wives and children of the means of subsistence. Of what service was a stamp-act? Did it make your property more secure? But if it is equally as secure without it, why do you clamor at its repeal? Of what service was a standing army? While they were in existence, were your estates or your lives in less jeopardy? If they are now secure, why do you need them? Of what service was an eight per cent. loan? Did the gratifying a few usurers, enrich you? Of what service was
a land tax? It served to create a host of officers, but the advantage was very small to those who paid it. If you can now ride in a chaise without a tax, is it not better to apply this money to shoeing your horses and mending the tackling, than supporting Collectors?
Why then, "ye men of Ephesus," are you thus uneasy? Why all this uproar? Let Demetrius do as all honest citizens ought to do, earn his living by industry & not by imposition. Support the men who are willing to relieve you from Taxes, and never let the great city of Ephesus be again disturbed by a set of noisy, lazy sycophants, who only pay court to those who feed them from honest men's pockets.—Besides, why do you clamor in this incoherent manner? bellowing "Adams and Liberty," Jacobin, &c. convinces no man. If you have any charge against your magistrates, is not the law open? not the unwritten judiciary, not the common law of England, but the explicit written laws of the land; impeach them before the constituted authorities. Ye have deputies and lawyers in abundance; one half the money you have given towards paying unnecessary officers, would be handsome fee to the whole body of attorneys. Act like men, ye citizens of Ephesus, and dont become a bye word & derision among the citizens of the earth.
And when the Town-Clerk had thus spoken, each man went away to his own home, and the city was quiet. OLD-SOUTH.
LATE OMISSION.
PORTLAND, Sept. 6.
COLLEGE in Maine.
On Thursday, the 2d instant, the ceremony of inducting the Rev. Joseph M'Kean into the office of President of Bowdoin College, was performed at Bucksport .
The interest excited in the public mind by so novel and important a transaction, in a country so recently inhabited only by the savages of the wilderness, drew together the greatest concourse of spectators ever witnessed in the District of Maine. The meeting house not being large enough to contain one fourth part of the people assembled, a stage was erected under a grove of pines upon the plains, on which the several ceremonies took place. Notwithstanding the concourse was so great, the utmost decency, order and attention was shewn; and the solemnities were performed without any interruption.
Order of Procession.
At half past eleven, the procession moved from the College to the ground on which the stage was erected, in the following order:
 1. The Committee of Arrangement.  2. The Secretaries of the boards of Trustees and Overseers, one with the Chapter and Seal, the other with the College Laws.  3. The Treasurer with the Keys.  4. The Rev. Dr. Deane, Vice-President of the College.  5. The Trustees, two and two.  6. President and Professor elect.  7. President and Vice President of the board of Overseers.  8. The Overseers two and two.  9. The Clergy and Gentlemen of distinction invited to dine at the Hall. 
After being arranged on a stage, the Vice President in a short address informed the audience that agreeably to the vote of the two boards, the Hon. Daniel Davis, Esq. President of the board of Overseers, would announce the name given to the building erected for the use of institution.
The President then declared that in honor of the State which had so generously founded and endowed the institution, the name of the building was ever to be, Massachusetts Hall .
The Rev. Mr. Kellog then addressed the throne of grace with an animated and appropriate prayer.
Then followed an introductory Address in English by the President of Overseers.
An Address in Latin by the President of the College, concluding with the ceremony of inducting the President into office, by delivering seal, charter, keys, &c.
President M'Kean's Inaugural Address, in English.
Reply to the President, in English, by Vice President, Deane.
A Prayer by Rev. Mr. Lanecker.
An appropriate Psalm was then sung.
The inauguration of the President being finished, the installment of Mr. John Abbot, as Professor of Languages, then took place in the following order:
 1. Prayer by Rev. President M'Kean.  2. Introductory Address in Latin, by the same. 
After consent of Trustees and Overseers is signified, the President declares him to be the Professor of Languages. Then followed an Address in Latin, by the Professor of Languages.
The ceremonies were closed by singing. The company then returned to College Hall, where they dined; and after dinner a number of Toasts was given among which is the following—
Our Forefathers, whose enterprize, perils and perseverance, laid the foundation of our numbers and fair inheritance.

For the GAZETTE. A Prefatory ADDRESS preceding solemn Attention to the PRINCIPAL SCOPE of the NUMBERS extracted from the Faithful Remembrancer, already published in this Gazette.
THE vicious character is not the less dishonorable to MAN'S nature for being encircled with worldly splendor. As the higher the vicious stand in either civil or ecclesiastical pre-eminence, the greater mischief they effect the more tremendous will be their fall, [for fall they must] and the more exquisitely painful their punishment, and as their evil courses are the occasion of their miseries, they are with propriety laid to be their own punishers, or self-destroyers. For he that sinneth against God, destroyeth his own soul. The history of past ages present a melancholy and awful picture of the calamities produced by the vices of the great, whether committed under the specious pretexes of unprincipled policy, or the free or preposterous fashion of religion. By vice is here intended every species of crime against ourselves, our country, and our God; every form and practice of iniquity that contravenes with real virtue and genuine religion, and by which the Deity is dishonoured, and mankind either immediately and directly, or indirectly and eventually injured. The civil and the ecclesiastical oppressor, the vainly ambitious, the haughty and insulting, the unjust ruler, and the hypocritical professor, are as foully and brutally vicious as the lewd debauchee; and all these pernicious characters have too often conspired, in the same persons, to render them more eminently vicious, and more effectually mischievous. If such are not to be awakened and mended to reform by the arguments urged in the foregoing numbers, when presented to their view, and especially those arising from the extraordinary events of this age, as most pointedly evincing the near approach of that new order of things designated, in scripture, the NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH; then nothing can avail to rouse them, but the awful premonition in which that illustrious period will place them. As there is too much reason of fear, that many will be found unprepared for that great and last event, and even among those who slant themselves otherwise; it must be considered as an undertaking highly commendable, and worthy of being zealously pursued by every one, in any good degree acquainted with, and influenced by the great things of God; to warn mankind of their danger in this respect, and endeavour to awaken the thoughts and unconverted to serious and salutary reflection; that they may stand prepared to meet that important moment, which now swiftly advances, and which will be present to us ere we are aware.
A UNIVERSAL consent of the nations [now far more enlightened, and far more intimately connected with, and better known to each other than in former ages] in solemn addresses to the gracious Sovereign of the world, appears to be a duty [as it is likewise an unspeakable privilege] to which they are, by the present events and expectations, loudly and importunately called, for both reason and scripture unite in a decision of this truth, that God will be enquired of for the blessings we hope and desire the removal of the evils we experience, and the prevention of those far greater, which we have too great cause to fear. Such an agreement and address, so highly becoming our condition, will be a fulfilment of the following prophetic words—Then shall they remember themselves, and be turned to the Lord and the nations shall come and worship before him—They shall call me Father, and I will answer and say, here I am; and, rejoice ye nations with his people.
The writer of the foregoing numbers, is strongly inclined to believe, with many others, from a variety of important reasons, that this Spirit of prayer, and general agreement in waiting upon our God, will presently be suddenly excited, as an introduction and leading feature in the commencement of the glorious, long desired day which shall never close; and that eminently blessed and honoured will be every one, who shall be instrumental in stirring up the nations to take hold on the everlasting strength, to effect which, is the Faithful Remembrancer's great design—Let those, therefore, who fear the Lord and wait for his appearing speak often one to another. Let all party and personal animosities be forever banished from our breaths. A just knowledge of God and of ourselves will raise us above them, unite our hearts, and attach us to those things only by which the universal parent is honoured, and our own real prosperity and ultimate happiness are secured. Let all be taught to realise, that the glory and excellency of their nature consists in a Divine Union, confidence in, and fellowship with the all glorious & bountiful SOURCE of our existence, and munificent BESTOWER of every good. We shall then lay aside every thing that has a tendency to alienate us from our GOD, and prevent us from looking for and hastening the coming of HIS DAY—May the following pages be with a serious and becoming their grand import: perused, the all interesting sentiments they convey be universally received, and divinely impress each heart, that, in every region of the globe, beats with the pulse of life!
Subscriptions for the Faithful Remembrancer, in 7 Numbers, are received at this Office. The 1st. No. having been out of the Editor's possession, is the reason of its not appearing in its proper place. It will be inserted in a future paper.
From the CHRONICLE. Messrs. Printers, IN your paper, I beg leave to offer to the public, a few remarks the object of which is to refute from unmerited obliquy the reputation of the President of the United States. I shall endeavor to demonstrate to the candid, that instead of his deserving the dregs of abuse which the Federalists have thrown upon him, he merits the confidence and grateful support of every true friend to our country. He has been accused of even folly and vice, which can disgrace a human being. His political opinions have been ridiculed, as the impracticable speculations of a visionary theorist. He has been traduced as an aspiring demagogue, and has been accused of endeavors to subvert our "holy Religion." These accusations have been boldly made, without proof, and have too
frequently graced on the ears of friends to truth. It appears to me sufficient, to satisfy a candid mind of their fallacy, to point to the long catalogue of President JEFFERSON's services—to recollect that he was appointed by the lamented WASHINGTON, to fill one of the most important offices under our Government; and that he was elected to the first magistracy of this Republic, by the free suffrages of all Columbia. His talents have not been hidden, nor has his light been placed under a bushel, but has enlightened the whole continent! It has dispelled the dark clouds of aristocracy and illuminated the hearts of freemen.
Before we discredit a man for crimes, we should have some proof of his guilt; before we believe a man nefarious, we must imagine some motive for his criminality; and the motive should increase with the magnitude of the crime. It surpasses belief, that a man should commit the most horrid enormity, for a cent, or that Mr. JEFFERSON would violate his sacred oath and the Constitution, for the paltry sum of 500 dollars.
President JEFFERSON is allowed to be a man of eminent talents; those who are most intimately acquainted with him, believe him to possess the qualities of a statesman and philosopher, in a more eminent degree than any other man of whom our country can boast. When he came into office, he wore fidelity to the United States and the Constitution. In the name of Heaven, what motive can he have for injuring the interest of the one or violating the other? ambition cannot prompt him, for the Constitution which he has sworn to defend, forbids his further elevation—avarice can offer no inducement, for a revolution would destroy his income. Self interest is a ruling passion in every breast; it is therefore evident that Mr. JEFFERSON ought, for his own interest, or promote the welfare of his country, and by his exertions and steady support of the Constitution, to merit the favorable opinion of his constituents. He has been vilified by the Federalists, yet has he acted honestly. He has been accused of an intolerant spirit, yet has he behaved generously—he conscientiously believes his ideas of Government to be correct, and it is natural for him to select men of similar sentiments to fill the subordinate offices. This was the plan of Washington and of Adams; under their administration, there was scarcely an instance of an office under government being held by a person differing from them in political opinion. It is surely ungenerous in those who supported the former administrations, to accuse President Jefferson with intolerance, when it is evident that he discovers more liberality than his predecessors. It is known by those who are the least conversant with Government, that the active co-operation of all its officers is absolutely necessary. Our late President Adams gave a convincing proof that this was his opinion, when he dismissed Mr. Pickering from the cabinet. No candid man can accuse Mr. Jefferson with intolerance; he confiders with other Republicans that, "those who are not for us are against us," and regulates his conduct accordingly.
ACHATES.
From the National Aegis.
TRUTH vs. CALUMNY.
After the fair and conclusive statement of the Attorney General, which was published, on the subject of the THOUSAND DOLLARS, we had hardly believed it possible that an attempt would be made to bring up the calumny, to the notice of the Public, in any other shape. Certain we were, that it would be the policy of the gentleman, who was designated as the propagator of the falsehood in this quarter, to pass it over in silence, that it might, if possible, die away and be forgotten. We did not believe, that any anonymous scribbler could be found, so foolish on account of himself and party, to cruel and unfeeling on account of the gentleman implicated, as again to make it the subject of Newspaper discussion.
But in this we have been disappointed, and we will never again calculate upon even an ordinary degree of prudence or circumspection, in the management of a federal falsehood. Some of the Anti-Republican papers had discovered a decent degree of discretion, if not of candor in acknowledging that the charge had been fairly and incontestibly disproved, and that it must be noted as an unfortunate error, if not as a malignant slander. In the Centinel of Saturday last, a writer over the signature of DETECTOR, has attempted, with a wonderful degree of plausibility, to mend the charge, and again to give it the semblance of truth. In the first place it is suggested that Mr. Lincoln in his letter to Mr. Gallatin, had desired "that the entry on the Treasury books should be in such form as to conceal the nature of the transaction, and to admit of such a certificate as was given by "Mr. Nourse." Without noticing the charge of detectable corruption in the Attorney General and Secretary of the Treasury, it is sufficient to remark, in reply to this suggestion, that if the money had been actually paid, the entry must have been made in the office of the Register, long before Mr. Lincoln's letter, and, of course Mr. Gallatin must not only have altered his own records, but must have bribed Mr. Nourse to a similar transgression. This is certainly a very cunning and credible suggestion!
But it is further hinted, that at the time when the Attorney General left Washington for Worcester, a person was taken into the Treasury office, in the character of a Clerk, "to give legal advice, and to do other duties of the office, at the expence of 1000 Dollars."
A Clerk, at a salary of 1000 Dollars, to advise the Secretary of the Treasury in the fiscal affairs of the government! This, again, is extremely plausible and ingenious!! Mr. DETECTOR is advised to set down quietly, under the detection of this falsehood. His Federal friends, in this quarter, he may be assured, have plead guilty to the charge. Sentence has been passed—execution has been awarded;—the culprit has been gibeted;—and he may as well attempt to resuscitate the body of a malefactor, who has been hung in chains for a year, as to restore to life and to credit, this abominable slander.
A southern geographical punster insists that the present form of PANTALOONS originated in France, from the circumlocution of their being Toulon (too-long) and Toulouffe (too-loose).
Foreign Articles,
By the Galen, Capt. HINCKLEY, from London. Dated to the 13th August, 1802.
PARIS, AUG. 4, 1802. AT the Levee yesterday, Citizen BARTHELEMY, President of the Conservative Senate, addressed BONAPARTE in a speech of which the following are extracts:
"Citizen First Consul, THE French, grateful for the immense services you have rendered to them, with that the First Magistracy of the State should be irrevocably placed in your hands. In thus conferring it upon you for life, they only express the opinion of the Senate, as stated in its Senatus Consultum of the 8th of May. The Nation, by this solemn act of gratitude, confides to you the task of consolidating our Institutions.
"A new career commences for the First Consul—after prodigies of valour and military talents, he has terminated the War, and obtained every where the most honorable conditions of Peace. The French People under his auspices have assumed the attitude and character of true greatness. He is the Pacifier of Nations, and the Restorer of France. His name alone is a tower of strength.
"Already an Administration of less than three years has almost made us forget that epoch of anarchy and calamities, which seemed to have dried up the sources of public prosperity."
"The Senatus Consultum, which the Senate are in a Body now present to you, Citizen First Consul, contains the expression of its own gratitude. The organ of the Sovereign Will, it was of opinion, could not better fulfil the intention of the French People, than by calling in the aid of the Arts to perpetuate the remembrance of this memorable event."
Citizen Barthélémy then read the following SENATUS CONSULTUM. Extract from the Registers of the CONSERVATIVE SENATE.
August 9. 1802. The Conservative Senate, &c. having seen the report of the Committee for that purpose, which states, that 3,577,259 Citizens have given their suffrages, and that 3,568,885 Citizens have voted that NAPOLEON BONAPARTE should be appointed Consul for Life;
Considering that the Senate, established by the Constitution as the organ of the People, in every thing which the social compact is interested, ought to manifest in a splendid manner the national gratitude towards the conquering and pacifying Hero, and to proclaim solemnly that it is the Will of the French People to give to the Government every necessary stability and independence, in order to ensure the prosperity and glory of the Republic, decrees as follows:
Art. 1. The French people do appoint, and the Senate do proclaim, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE First Consul for life. 2 A Statue of Peace, holding in one hand the Laurel of Victory, and in the other the Decree of the Senate, shall attest to posterity the gratitude of the Nation. 3 The Senate shall convey to the First Consul the expression of the confidence, the love and the admiration of the French People. (Signed) BARTHELEMY, President.
The First Consul replied as follows:
"SENATORS, THE life of a Citizen belongs to his Country. The People of France with that the whole of mine should be consecrated to their service, and I obey—in giving me this new, this permanent pledge of their confidence, they have imposed upon me the duty of maintaining the system of the Laws and institutions of the Republic.—By my efforts, by your co-operation, Citizen Senators, and that of the Constituted Authorities, and by the confidence and will of this immense People, the Liberty, Equality, and Prosperity of the People of France will be secured from all the accidents which arise from the uncertainty of futurity. The best people shall, as they deserve, be the most happy, and their happiness shall contribute to that of all Europe.
"Content with having been called by the order of him from whom every thing emanates, to bring back upon the earth Justice, Order, and Equality, I shall hear my last hour found without regret, and without any uneasiness about the opinions of future generations.
"Senators, receive my thanks for this solemn proceeding. The desire of the Senate has expressed the will of the People of France, and is thereby more strongly connected with whatever remains to be done for the happiness of the People of France. It is very gratifying to me, to be assured of this by the Speech of so distinguished a President."
The following Circular Letter has been sent by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects of the different Departments, dated Paris, 4th July.
"I send you, Citizen Prefect, the Senatus Consultum, which proclaims the Will of the French People. You will cause it to be proclaimed throughout the whole of your department on the 15th of August. That day shall hereafter be consecrated by the recollection of great events. It will recall to our posterity the recollection of the memorable epocha of Public Happiness, when the consciences of the People were set at peace, and when the People of France exercised the great-
est act of Sovereignty ever exercised by any Nation."
"The 15th of August is at once the Anniversary of the Birth-day of the Chief Consul, of the Signature of the Concordat, and the day on which the People of France, wishing to secure and perpetuate their happiness, have connected its duration with that of the glorious career of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."
"What pleasing recollections to excite the enthusiasm of the French People! What a concurrence of great events to awaken in every heart those generous sentiments which characterize the French Nation!
"Let this great day be celebrated by acts of benevolence. I invite you, Citizen Prefect, to congregate the whole of it to happiness, by uniting in marriage those individuals who are most eminent for their virtue."
(Signed) "CHAPTAL."
French Constitution Amended!
PARIS, AUGUST 5. The Council of State yesterday sent a "SENATUS CONSULTUM for organizing the Constitution," to the Conservative Senate. It was carried by the Counsellors Regnier, Portalis, and Desfoles; and adopted by the Senate in its sitting this day.
Though the Senate passed this Act after only a few hours consultation, it is nevertheless lengthy, containing 89 articles. It is impossible for us to give the instrument entire; we have therefore selected some prominent parts, which follow:—
SENATUS CONSULTUM, FOR ORGANIZING THE CONSTITUTION. TITLE IV.—OF THE CONSULS.
39. The Consuls are for life. They are members of the Senate, and act as President. 40. The second and third Consuls are appointed by the Senate, on the presentation of the first.
41. For the purpose, when either of the two places becomes vacant, the First Consul presents to the Senate a fit person. If he is not appointed, he presents a second, and if the second is not accepted, he presents a third, who is of necessity appointed.
42. When the First Consul thinks proper, he appoints a citizen to succeed him after his death, according to the forms prescribed in the preceding article.
43. The citizen appointed to succeed the First Consul takes an oath to the Republic, to be administered by the First Consul, assisted by the second and third Consuls, in the presence of the Senate, the Ministers, the Council of State, the Legislative Body, the Tribune, the Tribunal of Cassation, the Archbishops, Bishops, Presidents of the Tribunals of Appeal, the Presidents of the Electoral Colleges, the Presidents of the Cantonal Assemblies, the Grand Officers of the Legion of Honour, and the Mayors of the 24th principal cities of the Republic.
44. The Secretary of State draws up the process-verbal of the administration of the oath. The oath is in these terms:—
"I swear to maintain the Constitution, to respect the liberty of conscience, to oppose the return of feudal institutions; never to make war but for the defence and glory of the Republic; and not to employ the power wherewith I shall be invested, but for the happiness of the people, from whom and for whom I shall have received it."
45. Having taken this oath, he takes his seat in the Senate immediately after the third Consul.
46. The First Consul may deposit, among the archives of government, his will as to the nomination of a successor, to be presented to the Senate after his death.
47. In this case, he summons the attendance of the second and third Consuls, the Ministers and Presidents of the Sections of the Council of State. In their presence he delivers to the Secretary of State the paper sealed with his seal and in which his will is recorded. This paper is subscribed by all those who are present at the transaction. The Secretary of State deposits it among the archives of government in the presence of the Ministers and Presidents of the Sections of the Council of State.
48. The First Consul may withdraw this deposit, observing the formalities prescribed in the preceding article.
49. After the death of the First Consul if his choice has remained in deposit, the paper containing it is withdrawn from the archives of government by the Secretary of State, in the presence of the Ministers and Presidents of the Sections of the Council of State; their identity and entire state being ascertained in the presence of the second and third Consuls. It addressed to the Senate by a message from the government, with a copy of the process-verbal, certifying the deposit, the identity, and entire state.
50. If the person, presented by the First Consul, is not appointed the second & third Consuls present one each; in case of neither of these being nominated, they each make another presentation, and one of the two must of necessity be appointed.
51. If the First Consul leaves no presentation, the second and third Consuls make their presentations separate, if neither obtains the nomination, they make a third, from which the Senate must of necessity nominate.
52. In every case, the presentations and nomination must be completed in 24 hours after the death of the First Consul.
53. The law determines for the life of each First Consul the state of the expenditure of government.
LONDON, JULY 31.
AMERICAN TRADE TO INDIA.
The commerce of the United States to India is increasing in a degree highly injurious to the interest of this country. During the present season upwards of two hundred ships have failed from America to India and China. The little port of Salem alone has sent out 35.
The Americans can build and victual their ships at a third part of the expense to which we are subject, and their trade is unincumbered by the enormous charges for civil
and military establishments in Hindostan, to which our traffic necessarily contributes; the consequence is, that they can and do undersell us in most of the foreign markets; and that unless some means be adopted to restrict this commerce, most unwise granted to them, the importations of our Company must shortly be confined to our internal consumption.

ALL those vessels which have brought cargoes, shall not be permitted to load. Their respective causes shall go through a regular course of law, that they may suffer the penalties they have incurred. All those that have arrived after the 11th of March ult. shall depart as they came, as well as all that exceed 500 tons burthen, which may have arrived previous thereto. Those that have arrived in ballast (under contract) consigned to the Merchants who have permission to export the produce of negroes in foreign vessels previous to the 11th of March, will be permitted to load, but they shall not commence until the 11th August, in order to give time to the Spanish vessels, that are in port to load.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Constellation, dated May 24th, 1802, at sea.
"On the 18th inst. we arrived off Algiers, and made the signal for our Consul to come on board which he did. Mr. O'Brien informs, that Spain in order to avoid a war threatened by the Algerines has very recently consented to pay to Algiers the enormous sum of two millions of dollars and to alter her national colour—This, with the capture of the Portuguese frigate has so elated the Algerines that our Consul says he expects the Dey will shortly, & at an unguarded moment declare war against the U. States—I hope he may, and that we may have the honour of battering their towns about their ears. They will find in us a nation far superior to either Spain or Portugal in the arts of war. By making them feel our power we should render the U. States feared and respected by these Barbarians, and insure safety to the lives and property of our citizens in those seas. Enclosed is the account Mr. O'Brien gives us of the strength of the Regency of Algiers,

Algiers has about 50 gun boats; half of the number could be got in order in about a month. They have about 200 sail of coasters with lattice sails, each 20 or 30 tons. There are about 7,000 Turkey, about 6,000 half Turks, and with difficulty they could raise 50,000 militia or rabble. This regency has 50 or 60 Millions of Dollars, and has in chained captivity 1500 Christians, and is permitted to be a licensed plunderer of all Europe. (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIEN.
NEWBURYPORT, SEPT. 24.
TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Wednesday last a most violent hurricane was experienced in Newbury and Salisbury; the course of the wind was from S. W. to N. E. unaccompanied with rain or lightning, the clouds exhibited a most portentous appearance, the vein of wind was confined to a narrow compass, not more than 80 rods wide, and swept almost every thing in its course.—At Newbury a part of the dwelling house of Mr. David Bartlett was taken entire from the floor, and carried several rods, leaving the astonished family with no other covering than the canopy of heaven,—no one was injured.—Mr. B's barn was likewise blown over. The house of Widow Bartlett was much injured, and barn blown entirely to pieces; a house of Mr. John Davis, was much hurt, and a new barn entirely demolished.—It then crossed the Merrimack just above this town, whirling vast quantities of water into the air, and at Salisbury, two houses were unroofed and materially damaged—one barn was blown entirely to pieces, and another unroofed.—The house and one barn, the property of Mr. Ezekiel Jones, the other house belonged to the widow Prufey.—The orchard of a Mr. Morrill, in the same neighborhood, consisting of 80 or 90 trees, was almost entirely destroyed. The sturdy oak could not withstand the fury of the winds, but those of 2 or 3 feet through were twisted off and levelled with the ground—fences, stacks of hay, &c. were almost entirely destroyed; in short it was one of the most tremendous scenes this part of the country ever witnessed.—We have not, however, heard of any lives being lost.

Portsmouth.
Tuesday, Sept. 28, 1802.
SINCE our last, the Galen, Capt. Hinkey, has arrived at Boston from London, bringing papers to the 13th August.
From the interesting extracts made, our readers will see, that another great change has been effected in the French system of Government. Bonaparte, was proclaimed First Consul for life, the 2d August. The votes in favour of his appointment, were 3,568,835; to 8374 against it—making a bout 426 to 1. But it appears that this vote of the people was not necessary to his continuation in power; for on the 5th August, the Conservative Senate, which is created by the First Consul, without consulting the people, proclaimed measures equally as important; they altered the whole constitution; declared by a solemn Organic Senate Consultum, that the other two Consuls Cambacérès and Lebrun, should be for life; that the First Consul should have the appointment of his successor, the nomination of the other Consuls, &c. in short almost all the offices of honor, power, or profit; down to the moderator of a Town-meeting. In other matters, the Senate divide the power with the First Consul, as may be seen by the said Organic Senate Consultum. The new order of military nobility called the Legion of Honor, is amply provided for; and the Minister of the Interior has directed the celebration of the First Consul's birth (August 15th) in every part of France. Still France retains the name of Republic!
From several articles it appears, that the French meditate an attack on Algiers; in which Bonaparte invites the co-operation of the other European powers.
Private letters from Spain, mention, that Mr. Pinckney has succeeded in obtaining the appointment of Commissioners to settle the claims which our citizens have for spoliation. We do not understand that those committed in South America, are included.
Downing-street, July 20.—The King has been pleased to approve of John J. Murray, Esq. to be Consul from the United States of America, at the port of Glasgow. (London Paper.)
Recent accounts from Cape Francois wholly contradict the report of the new insurrections in St. Domingo received by the way of New- Providence. On the 29th ult. the greatest tranquility prevailed in that island.
LA FAYETTE.
La Fayette has written a letter to Bonaparte on the subject of his being Consul for life, in which he says, that "he has his vote, provided he restores to the people of France the rights of citizens and the liberty of the press." Bonaparte has sent him back a verbal message, saying "tell general La Fayette, that if I were to do that which he wishes, neither he nor I would be in France three months."
What was the design of the late publication of Judge Basset's and Mr. Bayard's protest, it is not difficult to determine; but that it will produce no effect in furthering the accomplishment of Bayard's prophecy is not as certain. It is hoped, however, that they will reflect a little before they act, and that they will not involve the good people of these United States in a civil war, the horrors of which Mr. Bayard has ably depicted. If they value not their own safety, Oh! that the spirit of chivalry would induce them to spare the blood of the innocent! "If gentlemen are regardless of themselves, let them consider their wives and their children, their neighbors and their friends." Let them not imitate the sanguinary fury of Marat and Robespierre, but let the mild conduct of their idol Bonaparte serve for an example! Let them not prove the strength of their party or the justice of their cause by the points of their bayonets; but tell them by the voice of the people! Let registers be opened in every county of every state, in which the citizens shall inscribe their votes on the important question, "Shall Richard Basset be Judge for life?" Wil. Mer.
John Adams's correspondence with the venerable veteran Samuel Adams, one of the few genuine friends of the revolution upon principle, has shown new-light, upon the often denied monarchial and aristocratical heresies of his politics. That a man sworn to maintain a government in which the actual as well as essential sovereignty was in the people, should recommend a set of no-ability men like himself to be put into a hole and have some great Russian to watch over them both—like Henry VIII. of England or Louis IX. of France, is to be sure a genuine receipt for reducing "republicanism to any thing or nothing."
Mr. ADAMS, and Mr. JEFFERSON's Religion Compared.
Mr. JEFFERSON has been called an infidel;—Mr. ADAMS a Christian. The following Anecdote will illustrate the infidelity of the former, and the Christianity of the latter:
At a time when Mr. Adams was President and Mr. Jefferson Vice President, the Rev. Mr. Calhoun of Pennsylvania, who was employed by the Society for propagating religion among the Indians, to collect money for that benevolent institution, waited on Mr. Adams at the city of Washington, and solicited his support of the undertaking. Mr. Adams not only refused to give him a cent, but treated him in a rude and churlish manner, quite unbecoming the First Magistrate of a free people to a messenger of the gospel. Mr. Calhoun next waited on Mr. Jefferson and explained to him the object of his mission, in behalf of a Society which had benevolently undertaken to christianize and civilize the savage nations on our borders. Mr. Jefferson listened to him with attention—applauded the design—and gave fifty dollars to Mr. Calhoun to aid the institution. Which of these two men, think you, acted most like a christian? Idem.

COMMUNICATIONS.
IT cannot be a matter of wonder to such as have marked the progress of tyranny and priestcraft in the various ages of the world, to find at the present period, our chief Priests and Pharisees combined, flandering the character of the President of the United States—For such men have been, as sacred and profane history informs us, the persecutors of the righteous in every age and in every country.—It is known to all, that the Saviour of man, was more calumniated by Priests and Pharisees, than any character that has appeared on the earth. They said he had a Devil, that he was in league with Devils; and these Priests imputed the power of the most High, to the influence of Satan. They charged him with being mad, with associating with Publicans and Harlots; and when unable longer to endure the mild beams of his goodness, they made him the victim of their envy, and put the Son of God to death—And thus we are told in sacred writ, have Priests and Pharisees in all ages persecuted the Prophets; that is, all men who would not flatter their vices, but had honesty and boldness enough to bear open testimony against the inroads of aristocracy and the evils of priestcraft—and thus are many of our modern Priests and Pharisees, stimulated by old Tories and dismissed public defaulters, now striving to excite a ferment in the public mind, against the Rulers of the People. But the better informed minds of Americans, will guard them against the snares of Priests and Pharisees—who once sufficient to influence a nation left enlightened, to murder their Saviour, and set the Highest at defiance.
Tuo' the Federalists all unite in branding Callender as a villain, yet one and all of this virtuous set, encourage his villainy, and would willingly league with any and all the friends of darkness, if by such an infernal alliance, they could accomplish the ruin of Mr. Jefferson; and by turning our farms into lordships, and our independent farmers into humble tenants, erect on the ruins of our Republican Government, their favorite monarchy. They view Mr. Jefferson as the grand bulwark of the last and only Republic now on earth, and flatter themselves, that if they could batter down this fortress, the destruction of the whole fabric, would soon follow.
Previous to his election, they attacked this great and good man, on the side of morals, then of talents, but finding him impregnable in both, their batteries for a while became silent; but having acquired a new leader, they are now playing off their antient artillery with insinuate madness, under the command of General Callender. But the Tories will to their confusion and shame, soon find their attacks on the invulnerable Jefferson, as useless under the apostate Callender, as they were on the illustrious Washington, under the direction of their favorite Benedict Arnold.

Bill of Mortality.
ON what a fine attenuated thread Hang most important all-concerning things! This moment here, the next among the dead! Disease and death have twice ten thousand Springs.
Departed this life on Sunday evening, at his house in Berwick, JONATHAN HAMILTON, Esq. merchant, aged 56; he was at meeting the same day in health apparently as usual, but was taken with a paralytic complaint, at 5, and died at 12 o'clock—In him an affectionate wife experiences the loss of an amiable husband, his children a tender and beloved father—society a respectable member, and this town an enterprising and industrious merchant. Eulogies on the dead are common—but of him, his acquaintance need no other than a recollection of his uniform and upright conduct thro' life.
DIED.—At Martinico, Mr. JOSEPH CROSS, aged 22, of Newburyport. In Silesia, Mrs. Marianna Stanz, aged 115. In this town, a child of Capt. Samuel Ham—A child of Capt. Geo. F. Blunt—A child of Mr. John Sherburne—A child of Mr. Williams—A child of Mr. Thomas Treadwell.

HAPPINESS.
IN what blest clime, beneath a milder sky, Does thy fair form in sweet seclusion lie? Through what uncultured wastes, and barren lands, To reach the mountain where thy Temple stands Must anxious mortals pass, with dreary toil, Quit the firm land and seek a foreign soil? Dost thou recline on beds of shining ore, Or where the ocean bears the Indian shore? Among the groves that deck the fertile plain, Or where the hillocks wave with golden grain? Art thou engulph'd within the foaming bowl, Or found in streets where gilded coaches roll? Around the social board of mirth and glee Dost thou abide in cups of liquid tea; Or where base riot pours the drunkard's jell, And pale disease attends the copious feast? Methinks I hear a voice from yonder sky In feeble accents whisper this reply, "Unthinking youth! mistaking all that's right, And shrouding reason with the veil of night; In vain you rove to distant climes and skies, The hunted goddess in your bosom lies; She fills, alike, the gilded rooms of state, The humble cottage, and the palace great, Nor in the mine where glittering rubies glow, No; on the coast where India's waters flow, But in the humble and the virtuous breast She takes her seat, and there delights to rest."
Moralist.
GRATITUDE.
AS the branches of a tree return their sap to the root from whence it arose; as a river poureth its streams to the sea, where his springs was supplied; so the heart of a grateful man delighteth in returning a benefit received. The bands of the generous man are like the clouds of Heaven, which drop upon the earth fruits, herbage, and flowers; but the heart of the ungrateful is like a desert of sand, which swalloweth with greediness the flowers that fall, and buries them in its bosom, and produceth nothing. Envy not thy benefactor, neither strive to conceal the benefit he hath conferred; for though the act of generosity commandeth admiration, yet the humility of gratitude toucheth the heart, and is amiable in the sight both of GOD and man. But receive not a favor from the hands of the proud: to the selfish and avaricious have no obligation; the vanity of pride shall expose thee to shame, the greediness of avarice shall never be satisfied.
Medley.
A Spleeny blacksmith, who fancied himself sick would frequently tease a neighboring physician to give him relief—The physician knowing him to be in perfect health, yet not willing to offend him said, he must be careful of his diet, and not eat anything that was heavy or windy.—The blacksmith went off satisfied; but, casting in his mind what was heavy and being ignorant, back he pulls to the doctor; who, being quite impatient, said "Don't you know what things are windy?"—"No," answered the blacksmith, "Why, then, I will tell you," said the Doctor "There's your anvil is heavy, and you know, Sir, that your bellows are windy—Do not eat either, and you'll soon be well enough."

REMARKS.
How remarkable are the fashions now, to what they once were. I have observed (says an old lady) the young ladies with no coats, and on the other hand the gentlemen all breeches: What a contrast! the latter appear to be a some-thing imitating no-thing; while the former appear to be no-thing imitating a some-thing. NO-BODY.
