POLITICAL.
FROM THE BALTIMORE EVENING POST.
To those who can understand it.
Will you Mr. Editor, permit "one of the swinish multitude" to squawk a little about "signs of the times?"
In the ever memorable years of 1798, 1799 and 1800, I frequently granted, and sometimes pretty loudly, because I felt myself imposed upon, and insisted there was not so much difference between one of the swill born and a hog as some persons affected to believe.
However clearly I proved this allusion, and to us swine, most important and interesting truth, yet I was always considered as an outcast to society and a disgrace to the species.
Well, Mr. Editor, though I labour under all these hard epithets I went on, the united opposition of "old tories, refugees, French aristocrats, British agents, and apostate whigs, to the contrary notwithstanding.
As the tribe of the pigs grew and multiplied—that of the asses waxed weaker and weaker, and fear came upon them, for they verily believed that we would drive them out of the land by reason of their having kicked us so much when we appeared weaker than they—they believed we would not really forget that they had destroyed our tender jowls, our luxurious hams, and luscious shoulders—but we forgave them the iniquities past, upon the promise of better conduct in future—they gladly agreed not to kick us again, and we gave them full permission to enjoy every thing that we did, as we ourselves could enjoy it.
But mark their conduct—When a poor pig happened to fall in with a company of asses they kicked him as much as ever, and in Connecticut woods and some other places, when my brethren were endeavouring to pick up a few acorns, not to get fat but to support their very existence, "fell upon evil times"—for they were incessantly assaulted by troops of asses and kicked to death, or at least deprived of their jowls, hams and shoulders; nay, some could not escape without the loss of half their nose.
Finding this to be the case, the pigs called frequent conventions; and, from the necessity of the times agreed "they would make no friendship with an ill natured man."
No sooner was this agreed upon than the asses came braying in our ears about MODERATION. We told them we would
act only on the defensive, and that if they would let us alone, we would let them alone. They told us they would, and we again entered into treaty with them—requiring only order and decency for our protection and countenance—we exacted no penalties from them—we imposed no vexatious laws upon the proceeds of their industry.
We have given them inches and now they wish for ells. They have again raised the old cry to lull us into deception—they say to us—let us join together—asses and pigs are of the same species—"all federalists all republicans"—we will not kick you any more—we know we have hurt you very much; forgive and forget it, and we won't do it again.
For my own part I will vote against this new treaty as long as I am able to grant out a syllable—though I may forgive I will not forget the many kicks I have received upon my jowl, hams, and shoulders—But he who will be gulled again, let him be gulled; if any will commit the safety of the state to the "holy keeping" or to the direction of his majesty's liege subjects, he will truly deserve to be considered as One of the Swinish Multitude.
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
To that part of the community who still withhold their confidence from those who administer our national concerns, the injunction cannot be too frequently or pointedly given, "judge of the tree by its fruit."
Take the abolition of the internal taxes as another test, and you will find the operations of the government going on with equal success with that which marked the antecedent period.
The large and permanent appropriation towards the extinguishment of the public debt, which the opponents of the administration prophesied would paralyze the vigor of the government, so far from being attended with this effect, has increased its real and solid energy.
The purchase of Louisiana, that Pandora's box, which was to fill the western world with plagues, has not only for the time averted the horrors and calamities of war, but has increased our independence as a nation, by opening to us a fertile country of which sugar is the staple, and by furnishing us with an immense region of unoccupied territory.
Other measures of a subordinate character, have been adopted by the government, of which there is not one within our recollection that has been attended with extensive bad effects.
What are the present causes of complaint? If we except the occasional removal of a federalist from office, the only topics of censure are measures, the wisdom of which are yet in a state of trial respecting which men may prophecy as they please, without the
fear of an immediate refutation of their error; and as they relate to our intercourse with foreign nations, and are necessarily involved in no inconsiderable secrecy, it is not surprising that the credulous as well as those who from party prejudice are disposed systematically to condemn, should unhesitatingly take assertion for fact, and deductions from unfounded premises for argument.
We have given them inches and now they wish for ells. They have again raised the old cry to lull us into deception—they say to us—let us join together—asses and pigs are of the same species—"all federalists all republicans"—we will not kick you any more—we know we have hurt you very much; forgive and forget it, and we won't do it again.

CELEBRATIONS.
THE anniversary of American Independence was celebrated at MEREDITH BRIDGES, by the patriotic sons of that place and its vicinity, in a manner highly honorable to those who paid their tribute of respect to the memory of those venerable heroes, who on the fourth of July, 1776, dared to assume for their country, an equal station among the nations of the earth.

The State of New-Hampshire—may the cords of harmony which now bind her in the bonds of the American Union, never be loosened.

By Winthrop Robinson, Esq.—The TREE OF LIBERTY—may its branches be as extensive as the Universe, and all nations enjoy its beneficial effects.
Celebration of the 4th of July at DURHAM. At the dawn of day a discharge of cannon; and martial music at various places through the day;—A large party met at Capt. Richardson's, who has provided every thing that was necessary to gratify the eye, please the
taste, and feast the appetite; at 2 o'clock, partook of a sumptuous dinner and drank to the following TOASTS, followed by the appropriate mugs of distinction; the thundering cannon, the joyful shouts and the festive song.—Pleasure sparkled in every eye and health bloomed in every countenance.

WASHINGTON and the departed Heroes—The tears of Millions. 15. The enlightened Yeomanry—May their pockets be the repositories of wealth, ever open to the exigencies of the nation. 16. The American Fair—When enlightened and virtuous, the beautiful incentives to glorious actions.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1806.
We are happy in having it in our power to state that the representations contained in a letter from a gentleman from Detroit, inferred in our last, of hostilities being meditated by the Indians in that quarter against the United States, are altogether unfounded. Rumours to this effect have been circulated, but are probably in a great measure to be ascribed to the arts of land-jobbers. (Nat. Int.)
Mungo Park, the celebrated traveler, has fallen a sacrifice to his spirit of enterprize; and by his death the world is deprived of the benefits of his research. He and his attendants had ascended the river Gambia nearly 1500 miles, to a place called Sego. Here he was conducted through the town by the Governor; but afterwards, with all his attendants, savagely murdered.
The two millions of tribute money, which the federalists sent off to France to buy peace, just before the late elections, having become an useless story, or rather worse than a mere useless story, is to be laid up among the Ocean Mafacs, the Tub-plots and Taylor-plots, and other worn-out party fictions. Instead of candidly acknowledging it to be a base falsehood, fabricated by their leaders, out of the appropriation of two millions for the purchase of the Floridas, some of the federalists endeavour to palliate it, as nothing more than a mistake; some of them appear disposed to say little or nothing about it; while others are trying to forget it, and already begin to deny that any such story has been circulated by their party. But, however ahamed or forgetful Federalists may be of the fact, it is the duty of Republicans to remember it, as one more caution against giving credit to federal electioneering representations. (Pittsfield (Mass.) Sun.)
When the leaders of a party exert all their talents to excite popular resentment, on account of outrages committed on our seamen and our commerce by foreign ships, for the sake of pointing it, not against that nation, to which those ships belong, but against our own government, it is not difficult to guess what would be their conduct in case of actual war between us and that nation. Ibid.
A popular panic has prevailed for several weeks this season in a number of towns in this vicinity, respecting a reptile, by some described as a worm, and by others thought to resemble an asp, on the Lombardy Poplars, some of which have been cut down, and, in the town of Lee, it is said, absolutely buried. Rumour, with her hundred tongues, has told many ridiculous terrific tales on the subject. Upon enquiry we cannot find any evidence that the animal is noxious, and are of opinion that the poor trees have been condemned and executed without a fair hearing. Ibid.

COMMUNICATION. Messrs. Printers, ON seeing two Songs in the Oracle of the 19th inst. for the celebration of American Independence, I was struck with surprise,—at length, on recollection, I gave way to reflection;—Are those the principles (said I) that gave birth to our Independence? Are those the principles for which Patriots were proscribed; and Heroes spilt their blood?—it cannot, cannot be!—They are either the principles of the worst enemies of our country; or the production of a sickly brain, a depraved heart.—For what man of sober reason can say,—after beholding the happy situation of our country, when Republicanism is fast gaining ground,—our national debt rapidly decreasing—our commerce extending—our Liberty maintained—our Nation increasing in wealth—our country happy at home, and respected abroad,—What man (I say) in his senses, can say, “What tho’ a Chief presides, the worst That e’er an injudicious nation cull’d,”—and again, “While those who should our shores defend, Our wealth, for moonshine wasteful spend,” —when an advertisement in the same Oracle, states, that the “reimbursement of the whole of our navy six per cent stock and our five and a half per cent stock, will be made in October and January next,” gives the lie to the whole.—If the Ghosts of ’76, were permitted to revisit our earth, and see the unparalleled prosperity of our country, and hear the continual bellowings of federalists at the officers of our Government, they would be struck with horror! they would cry out, O gracious Heaven!—shall our fame be sullied by such ungrateful men,—shall it be said, we spilt our blood in defence of such principles as those?—Forbid it Heaven—forbid it ye surviving Heroes of ’76—forbid it ye FREEMEN of AMERICA. Those, are none of the principles for which we fought—they are the principles of old Tories—those worst enemies of our country—who would have put the dagger to our breasts—who developed our plans—who held correspondence with our open enemies, to counteract our designs—who gave them notice of the sailing of our ships, &c.—If such men will pretend to commemorate our Independence, they should paint it in doleful colors of despair. If they will “sing songs to their heavy hearts,” let them begin in plaintive strains of grief; let them utter it in with all that’s dreadful! with words like these,—
Blush, Independence! curtsied I away That gave, Columbia, for’ign sway! Let ev’ry heart, with terror stretch! Let ev’ry tongue now lose its speech! Let dreadful howlings, rend the skies! And all the upper world torments! A Child, is from her mother fled! Oh! horrid crime! Oh! monstrous deed! But what we have, what most delect, This child is now with FREEDOM blest! That those long may better agree with the principles that gave us our Independence, I have turned them to the right about face, and sent them to you, willing their publication. Z.
SONG NO. I. HAIL INDEPENDENCE! happy day That gave COLUMBIA for’ign sway! Let ev’ry heart with rapture spring Let ev’ry tongue loud peans sing, And with united ardor rise In grateful incense to the skies! Tho’ VICE and FOLLY sul’d the helm, And Honor, Justice, truth, contemn, Their day is past; impetuous fear, The rising fish, th’ indignant tear! Chorus. Long shall triumphant JUSTICE reign, For TRUTH eternal, shall remain; Heaven o’erleaves this favor’d land, And shields us with its guardian hand! Those hateful days forever’s fled, When Federalists and Adams tway’d, Whole frowns no country ever fear’d, Whole smiles the British nation cheer’d, Who party rais’d, our rights suppress’d, Hated at home, abroad delect. Ye now a CHIEF presides, the best That e’er a happy Nation blest! Their day is past, suppresses each fear, The rising fish, th’ indignant tear. Chorus. Long shall triumphant Justice reign, &c. To this wise POLICY succeeds Most happy schemes, most blissful deeds; Economy, that guides our plan, With Truth and Justice in the van, Just rights, that brace the gen’rous mind, While abject terror’s left behind, With Alien Acts, Sedition Laws, And Armies, to support their cause. Our rights regain’d, we’ve nought to fear, The Sage protects, whom we revere. Chorus. Long shall triumphant justice reign, &c. Tho’ we have ships to guard our shore, No taxes do oppress the poor; Nor do our Merchants greatly fear, The pirate or the privateer. For now our Commerce scuds amain, To France, to India and to Spain; We pluck their riches, sail their tides, Well we may laugh, and shake our sides; E’en Federal pride, has nought to fear While HE protects, whom we revere. Chorus. Long shall triumphant justice reign, &c. MILITIA bulwarks, guard our land, Our CAPITOLS, protected stand; While those who do our rights defend, Our wealth to pay, our debts do SPEND. With cautious prudence, spend our MITES, But save us MILLIONS, with our rights. Complaints in vain, assail our CHIEF, To Federal Calumny, he’s deaf, Their day is past, their downfalls come, Their work, their cursed work, is done! Chorus. Long shall triumphant justice reign, &c. But when a host of FREEMEN join, Echoes, and voices both combine, To grateful feelings they give vent, And praise the PRESENT GOVERNMENT. The Federal reign, we’ll oft recall, Till dark oblivion shroud them all, And calumny forsake their breaths, Beneath the pond’rous load oppress’d. At their base ari, we can but frown, And tears of scalding wrath pour down. Chorus. With joy their downfall day we prize, SUNK! never, never, more to rise, For Heaven o’erleaves this favor’d land And shields us with its guardian hand. Sons of COLUMBIA! fill up the cup, And hold no commerce with our foes! Detest the lying, Federal tribe, And scorn the hands that takes a bribe. Remember WASHINGTON, your fire, Whose godlike deeds, the vet’ran fire; And dauntless JEFFERSON, so mild, Unrivall’d both, tho’ both revil’d. Late ’twas such parties, rose clare, And LANGDON chose to guide the State. Long shall triumphant justice reign, For truth eternal, will remain, Heaven has dispell’d our Nation’s woes, And doom’d to infamy her foes.
For the second Song, we refer our readers to the full column in the last page. The preceding communication was prepared for our last paper, and omitted for want of room.
FROM EUROPE. ACCOUNTS from Holland, via New-York, of about the same dates of those received from Antwerp, state, the resignation, on the 10th June, of M. SCHIMMELPENNINK, Grand Pensionary of Holland, on account of his age and infirmities.—M. VON STEENWYCK was appointed to succeed him, as Grand Pensionary; but the French papers say, only until the arrival in Holland of His Majesty LOUIS I. by the favor of his brother NAPOLEON, King of Batavia; who with his august Queen was expected at them Flague the 14th June, to take upon themselves the cares of Dutch Government. (Boston Centinel.)
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Defence of New York. —It is a subject of congratulation to our fellow citizens that a system of defence is now in operation for the city and harbor of New-York. The survey made by col. Williams has for some time been under consideration at the war office. A place of repairs for the works at Fort Jay has been agreed upon, and contracts have been made under the direction of general Dearborn, by captain Whitley, for the stone and other materials necessary for the work. A large quantity has already been delivered on Staten Island. The undertaker of the masonry and his labourers are expected to begin their labours within a few weeks. It is understood that the whole of the ramparts and parapets are to be faced with brick and stone. New ravelines and curtains are to be added to the salient angles of the fort. The original design of the engineer is to be completed or improved upon, and every additional repair and enlargement made that skill and labour can give it. In consequence of these defensive operations, it is affirmed by competent judges that both the east and west sides of the city will be protected by the cannon of the fort to effectually, that an hostile fleet will find it impossible to lie at anchor in either of the rivers. Fort Jay will thus be made a very formidable work; capable of giving security to the city and of destroying the ships of an enemy.
Orders are now in execution at Washington, Philadelphia and New-York, for manufacturing many pieces of heavy cannon. At Mr. Foxall’s foundery at Georgetown and other manufactories in the nation, the casting and boring of cannon for the public service has long been going on. These home made guns are of the most excellent quality, and when mounted will be at the disposal of the executive for the general defence. The mountings are to be transported to New-York, or to any other place where they may be wanted. Proposals for contracts are likewise in circulation from the navy department, for the construction of a number of gun boats upon the most modern and improved plan, at the city of New-York. Mr. Smith’s agent has for some weeks been engaged in receiving proposals for building these powerful engines of offence to an enemy. As soon as the bargains can be made, the business will progress. A marine guard has likewise been sent to the navy-yard at Wallabout. Measures are taking for the housing, storing and preserving the timber. And it is expected the public ground will soon be enclosed and put into handsome fence. With such rapid and auspicious beginnings we may expect that in the course of a few years, our city, under the auspices of a wise and prudent administration, will be placed in such a state of security that no one need be afraid of hostile invasion; but all the inhabitants pursue their occupation in peace, under an assurance that there is nought to make them afraid.
NEW-YORK, July 15. The U. States Circuit Court met in this city yesterday agreeable to adjournment, for the Trial of Samuel G. Ogden, Esq. and Col. Smith. A motion was made by the counsel for the defendants, that a compulsory process be issued to secure the attendance of Messrs. Madison, Smith, Dearborne, and other absent witnesses. In the course of the alteration, to which this motion gave rise, Judge Patterson read a letter, (signed by the gentlemen above mentioned) stating, that the President of the U. S. had communicated to them his decided opinion that the present situation of public affairs would not admit of their absence from the seat of government. The Court decided that, in order to determine the propriety of granting a compulsory process, it was necessary to hear the nature and extent of the testimony expected—and that, altho’ the Judges were ready to hear the motion discussed, yet they could not decide upon it until they had decided a prior motion, offered by the District Attorney, the discussion of which was postponed until this day. JULY 16. Yesterday, Mr. COLDEN, Counsel for the defendant, offered the affidavit of Col. SMITH, that Messrs. MADISON, &c. were material witnesses. He and Mr. HOFFMAN proceeded to prove the right to the attachment. Mr. SANFORD, District Attorney, replied, and argued that the process by attachment was neither conformable to the practice of the Courts of the United States, nor allowable in this case, as the witnesses were not guilty of a contempt by their non-appearance. Mr. PIERPOINT EDWARDS supported Mr. SANFORD, on all the grounds he had taken, by several law authorities. It was apparent that Judge PATTERSON was in his weak state of health, greatly exhausted, and the Court, at half past two o’clock, adjourned until ten o’clock this morning.
Arrived at New-York, on the 13th inst. from the 3 masted sch. Nimrod, 6 days from Halifax, Capt. Ropes, of the brig Hannah, of Salem, from Leghorn, condemned, vessel and cargo, with 10,500 dollars in specie.
The late mail papers have contained numerous accounts of fatal occurrences, and murders, the “most horrid, foul and unnatural.” The last New-York paper, states, that a few days since one Jesse Wood, having had a controversy with his son, went home took his gun, and shot that son dead.
A house and barn, with nearly all its contents, the property of Mr. Samuel Allen, was destroyed by fire, at Manchester, 13th inst.—Supposed to have originated in the barn by a spark from a pipe.—A barn the property of Mr. Clough, took fire and was destroyed by lightning, at Gloucester, 8th inst. (Boston paper.) On Sabbath afternoon last, a sail boat in trying to cross the sloop Little-Poll, when under full sail, about two miles without the light house, was run down with five men in her, and immediately sunk.—The men were at least 15 minutes in the water, and when taken up, three of them were apparently dead! the other two had some faint signs of life; they were immediately taken to Fort Constitution, where Dr. Goodwin rendered every assistance necessary to their recuperation, and we are happy to hear they are all likely to do well. The names of the men were Winthrop Runnels, James Coffin, Abraham Towle, Benjamin Clark and Jonas Ham, who, under Providence, owe their rescued lives to the extraordinary exertion of Mr. Benjamin Yeaton of this town, who was on board the Little-Poll, and whose exertions on this occasion deserve the commendation and praise of every one. We hope the above will have some tendency to deter others from making the Sabbath, a day of sport, as the numerous sail-boats in our river on that day, call loud for the vengeance of Heaven on profane Sabbath breakers!!!

MISCELLANEOUS REPOSITORY.  A SONG.  WHAT a terrible battle the Federalists made! What expedients in Congress these wife-acre hit on! What wisdom, what valor, what skill they display'd, To humble our Nation, and favor Great Britain!  What lies and what flories Were told by the Tories, But Chief to defame and to tarnish his glories!  CHORUS. Yet when Freemen agree, they must all prove invain, A Republic united shall ever remain.  Tho' Randolph may train, genius eloquence, wit, For deterring our cause we think him a ninny, What a second Sir Isaac! a Tully, Fox, Pitt! The lineal descendant of slaves of Virginia.  Like a meteor, no star His blaze shone afar, But it vanish'd like smoke when expos'd to the air.  CHORUS. Disappointment in office, it made him complain, But Republics united, will ever remain.  Met Britannia now mourn; tho' her flairs ride the main; Sage Nicholson has fixt her, the Feds can't relieve them, Tho' Randolph may talk of great wars but in vain, Their Nails, Hairs and Glais-ware, we will not receive them.  What loss to that Nation 's our Non-Importation, It fills Britain with grief, and Feds with vexation.  CHORUS. Thus when freemen agree their rights to maintain, A Republic united must ever remain.  Our commerce extends, o'er old Neptune we sail And carry our Lumber, our Fish and Tobacco. Let others enter our ports, or on land dare assail, Our Militia will give them a terrible whack'o, O'er Burgoyn, our pride When British troops try'd, But were struck with the thunder of Freemen and dy'd.  CHORUS. For when Freemen agree they stand for their own, A Republic united, can ne'er tumble down.  But when Adams was chief, in fierce terror's reign, He sent frigates to sea, our wide trade to protect, But were scatter'd so much, they all prov'd in vain, And left us well saddl'd with a National Debt; While from many a tongue This true adage was rung, He lets out our treasure, at both spicket and bung.  CHORUS. But now happy and free ev'ry fear we'll disband, A republic united, for ever must stand.  To our President JEFFERSON, all must agree That unrival'd, this hero, this statesman remain, The legitimate offspring of fair Liberty, Whom his country has chosen to office again. Poor Randolph in vain Tries to sully his fame, And load with disgrace so illustrious a name.  CHORUS. Supported by Freemen who will always unite, For union of sentiment does bind them so tight.  His great genius we hail, his strong feelings admire, Tho' by knaves much belie'd, he has now gain'd his centre. To the last of his days will true Patriotism fire, Rame's portals flood open! with joy did he enter! When his keen searching eyes Pierc'd the myst'ry of lies, And discover'd the men that bare falsehoods disguise, JEFFERSON we'll then pledge, crown his temples with bays, And sees to come, shall re-echo his praise.  The mode of burying Lawyers in London. —A gentleman in the country who had just buried a rich relation, who was a Lawyer, complained to Foote, the Dramatist, of the very great expense attending a country funeral, in carriages, hatbands, scarves, &c. Foote very gravely ask'd him, whether they were at any expense to bury Lawyers ? Yes, to be sure we are, replies the gentleman. Oh, says Foote we never do this in London. How then, says the other do you manage with your Lawyers ? Why, answers Foote, when a Lawyer dies, we lay him cut in an upper chamber overnight by himself, lock the door, throw open the windows, and in the morning he is entirely off, and cannot be found by his nearest relations even if they were disposed to bury him. Indeed, said the gentleman in amazement, what becomes of him? Why, says Foote, we cannot tell, not being acquainted with supernatural causes—all we know of the matter is, that there is a strong smell of brimstone in the chamber the next morning—where the Lawyer is gone, the Devil knows.  The true policy of females. —Women should be acquainted, that no beauty hath any charms, but the inward-one of the mind; and that a gracefulness in their manners is much more engaging than that of persons: that meekness and modesty are the true and lasting ornaments; for the that has these, is qualified as she ought to be for the management of a family, for the education of children, for an affection to her husband, and submitting to a prudent way of living.—These only are the charms that render wives amiable, and give them the best title to our respect. Epictetus.  A young man of libertine principles, sauntering thro' a flower-garden, met a young lady carrying a couple of flower-pots from one bed to another. "Ah JULIA," said he, "I am sorry you are so heavily laden. Now confess, would you not rather that your arms encircled me, than those pots of dirt?"—"And what are you but clay?" said she—"dirt baser than this: for it (obedient to the will of God) contributes to bring to perfection his works; but you labor to blast creation's fairest ornaments, in defiance of every law, human and divine."—The young man, quite abashed, turned upon his heel and left her. Philad. Rep.  SCRIPTURE FUN.  Lord Auckland, (when Mr. Eden,) in the American war, was one day haranguing the House in a very vehement manner, and some of his observations occasioning much laughter, a member, on entering, asked Charles Fox what was the matter. "Oh! nothing," says the man of the people, "only the devil has got again into Eden."

NOTICE. The Public are respectfully informed that the Subscriber has made many improvements for
CARDING WOOL, By means of which he will be enabled to use more expedition than heretofore, and consequently to accommodate more customers, and in a shorter time. He has also erected a Machine for the purpose of Picking Wool, and this will be acknowledged to be a very great saving, when we consider the length of time usually employed in picking wool with the hands, and the small addition of cost, which will only be two cents per lb including the greasing.
The subscriber would recommend to those who mean to bring their Wool to him not to have it greased, as he will constantly provide himself with the best of oil for that purpose. As his aim in erecting the above Machines was to accommodate the public no less than to benefit himself, he trusts that their generous support and custom will stimulate him to farther improvements, should they remain to be made.
