Political Miscellany.
THE REPROVER, No. VIII. WHEN the plots of the federalists were discovered by the people, the prime agents driven from the public service, and men, meriting our confidence, called to the administration of the government, much was found necessary to be done to remedy the mischiefs which had been perpetrated, and to restore that respectability to our country which its virtues ever merited, and which the wild conduct of the former administration has nearly annihilated. When the character of a nation is gone, its ruin rapidly follows. But [thanks to the overruling providence of heaven] that ruin is prevented, and American glory shines forth in its former, and with a superior splendor. The army formed to crush Liberty, is no more. Our land and sea forces are now in the respectable condition adapted to our situation and circumstances. Useless taxes and tax-gatherers no longer inumber or oppress our citizens; and all that vast expence ceases, which was designed, in conjunction with the federal army, and insolent judiciary now abolished, to break the spirit of liberty and establish monarchical and aristocratical tyranny. A wise and vigorous economy, so essential to republican government, takes place of extravagant expenditures, by means of which economy, the immense public debt, incurred by federal policy, will in a few years be discharged, and our citizens freed from their burthens, and every inconvenience arising from unnecessary taxation. Such are the great things performed by the present administration. And what rational mind, contemplating the former and the present state of our public affairs, but must admire the virtue, the wisdom and energy which has accomplished the change? None find cause of complaint but the defeated federal or tory party, who are pleased with nothing rational or praiseworthy. The people of the United States contemplate the glorious change effected with an approving pleasure; and, experiencing the blessings of this new state of things, say of the men who have accomplished it, they have done all things well.
Were it possible to instill into the minds of the prime movers and promoters of all the mischiefs which have oppressed our country, any degree of generous principle, we should be no more disturbed with plots and schemes to overthrow our government. But this is not to be expected. The federalists will always act against freedom and the happiness of man. So long as they have the power of action, they will be working mischief.
In seeking to establish monarchy, or subvert the present order of things, they act neither from principle or conscience; had they either of these, they would learn to be quiet. But, influenced only by the lusts of avarice and ambition, though degraded from the posts of honor, and disappointed from their hopes, of rolling in wealth, and subjecting the people to their imperious and lawless wills; they are still exerting themselves to raise disturbances, foment divisions, and stir up war. Of the wealth and grandeur they sought, they have been disappointed; their monarch and nobility are vanished; their hopes of strong energetic government are blasted—but their spite and rage remain. War was ever, and still is in their hearts. Hence their continued stratagems and efforts to involve our country in war. It is their last resort, their faint hope, which keeps them still alive to mischief. War, could they accomplish it, they conceive, will do great things for them. It calls for vast expenditures, and burthensome taxes; these raise discontent and animosities, the cause of which they would impute to mal-administration; and thus exciting the people's resentment against the administrators of the government, they would open to themselves the way once more to seize the reins of government. War, effecting a change in the manners of the people, and introducing vice and immorality, would
fit them for their purposes. These views set them to work in the affair of New Orleans. Here they used all their arts and eloquence to enflame the country against France and Spain, and to provoke a war, which must have been attended with the most ruinous consequences. Republicans pursued measures dictated both by good policy and humanity: they were called mean and pusillanimous, and terrible evils were to be the result. Here the pretended lovers of peace, order and good government, were again defeated—And what are we to think of their professions of regard to morality and good government, who thus oppose themselves to peace, and strive to kindle up the flames of war? That so many of the principle clergy, who call themselves the messengers of the Prince of Peace, should join in the cry of war, and the disorganizing schemes of the federalists, was scarcely to be expected in this country. But they have thereby discovered more of their hypocrisy, and infidelity too, than was before discernable; and the people are now more than ever beyond the reach of either state or priestcraft, and though they have done much mischief, the virtues of the people will avail to prevent their hurting their interests in future, or their effecting a revolution in favor of monarchy and an ecclesiastical hierarchy, for which priests and federalists now fret and rage in vain.
The conduct of the old tories, who met with so much indulgence, may well excite the resentment of republicans. Those men made a rapid improvement of the liberty allowed them. Had they been susceptible of the attractions of generosity and good nature, they might have done honor to their country; they might have been greatly instrumental in establishing its glory. But no virtues, no mildness, no lenity or forbearance can change their tempers and dispositions. The power and privileges granted them, they have employed to enslave their country, and plunge the sword into the breasts of their indulgent benefactors. Nor will they cease from their mischievous efforts 'til they have brought on themselves the vengeance and ruin, which ought long ago to have fallen on their guilty heads. That the tories should be so busy and active in their endeavors to undermine and destroy our Commonwealth, tho' they have no rational hope of succeeding, can no other way be accounted for, but that they are well rewarded for their labors. Tyrants, when they have villainous schemes in agitation, are sure to reward their tools and emissaries in proportion to the magnitude and importance of the trusts committed to them, and their fidelity and success. Perhaps the time is not far off, when they will meet with a reward they little think of.
The flagrant injustice of the terms on which the Public Debt was funded, and the design of that iniquitous system, are obvious to every considerate American. All the measures of the federalists were founded in injustice. To attain a sovereign power over the people, was the motive to defraud the public creditors, accumulate taxes, spend extravagantly, and borrow money at an enormous interest. When they should have effected to engross all power into their own hands, they would find sufficient resources, in this rich, extensive and growing country, to enable them to launch out into still more unbounded extravagances. They were inflated with the expectation of soon exalting themselves to an higher summit of grandeur than any haughty tyrants of former ages, or the present. In their sanguine apprehensions, they were far to exceed the wealth and greatness of old Babylon or Rome, or the most magnificent and luxurious monarchs of the east. To accomplish this grandeur, was the plan laid to avail themselves of the triumph of republicans over British force and tyranny, and of the independence they had obtained through the most arduous conflicts and trials, and the most precious blood of their countrymen. They expected that the more they galled and oppressed the people, the stronger they would become fortified against them. Old tories became the most influential men in their government, and republicans and their principles were treated with
scorn and derision. Men of great estates and influence—men to whom the public was become indebted, hosts of officers and tax-gatherers, and a powerful body of clergymen, were all unitedly engaged to destroy Liberty, and trample the people in the dirt. Here was the most formidable confederacy, in conjunction with Britain and its allies, which the earth was ever suffered to sustain. The plot against the freedom of man was deep laid, and the conspirators were elevated with the hopes of success. This appeared in their insolent behaviour, insulting the friends of liberty, and persecuting them in every form of cruelty. It was this insulting and inhuman conduct, with their unheard of profusion and extravagancy, and the army raised without cause & on the most absurd and irrational pretences, which opened the eyes of the people in every part of the Union. Thus, like their inspirer, the prince of darkness, they overshot their mark, and the treasonable plot burst on their guilty heads. The result was glorious to republicans, and to all the friends of freedom in every nation, a source of triumphant joy.
Extract of a letter from Copenhagen, dated July 24, 1803, to a gentleman in Salem.
"The English are detested" in this place by all classes of people. A few days ago, an American Supercargo of a ship entered one of the batteries. They immediately took him to the guard house, (supposing him to be an Englishman) and was preparing to put him in irons, but on being convinced of his being an American, they immediately set him at liberty, asking pardon for treating him in that manner, saying they supposed him to be an Englishman.
Important Invention.
A bold and successful experiment was made at Dartmouth (England) on the 23d June last, with a vessel of an entirely new construction, the invention of Mr. Newman, of that place, which, says the letter that furnishes the account, appears to be wholly different in form, construction, and principle, from any thing ever yet entrusted to the waves, being built entirely with straight timber, and resembling more (when on the ground) a hog's trough than any other thing, the bottom and sides being perfectly flat, and square at both ends: is about 60 feet long, and 18 wide—draws but three feet water, and is steered, not by a rudder hung to the stern post (which in full built vessels have never a proper effect) but by two small fins, which expand from the sides, and which have an effect which explode the present mode of steering altogether. The vessel so constructed was launched about a month since, and though she has now been ready for sea at least three weeks, it was not until yesterday that any seaman could be prevailed on to make trial of her, and the experiment would probably have been wholly relinquished, but for the noble and patriotic exertions of Capt. Hoyles and Mr. Jeffery, the inspectors of king's ships building at this port, who volunteered their services with Mr. N. and were soon joined by several experienced ship masters and pilots belonging to the port. She started from her moorings about 8 o'clock in the forenoon, and went down the river, which was lined with thousands of spectators; preserving an awful silence, the wind having every appearance of coming to blow hard, and the general belief that she would never again return to the port. But to the astonishment of all, before she reached the narrows, she ordered all the boats that attended her to return, and immediately under a croud of sail, dashed boldly out into the channel. She had not proceeded far before nautical men were so struck with her manoeuvres, that they seemed to doubt their existence; and after a cruise of ten hours, and a most complete trial in every way and movement, she beat up this narrow river against a strong wind, and in a manner superior to any thing ever seen by the oldest seamen in this port, amidst repeated discharges of cannon, and acclamations of the inhabitants.— Loh. pap.

From the Baltimore American. It must afford pleasure to the friends of the administration, to reflect, that the cause of federalism, in the city of Baltimore, is so completely sunk by the pressure of despair, that not the least effort was made, at the electioneering campaign of yesterday, to force on the people a single candidate, either for congress or assembly, except in a few instances:—in the fourth ward, where R. G. Harper, Esq. voted, that gentleman had one vote!—and several opposition gentlemen were honored with some votes, both in that and the other wards; but we believe their suffrage was in every case so limited, as not to exceed a half dozen votes, in favor of any particular candidate.
Let the people think upon this.—The newspaper called "The Recorder," printed at Richmond, and formerly by Callender and Pace, is stopped entirely.—Callender was drowned, and Pace is now in Jail; Thus ends the career of those who attempted to injure the character of Mr. Jefferson. How mysterious are the ways of Heaven! Let the people think upon this.
Rep. Advocate. In Baltimore at the recent election, the whig party abandoned all active concerns in the election; a few only who were not in complete subordination having appeared to give their votes. We apprehend that with the exception of one or two counties, it will be the same in that state generally.
Their papers nevertheless, hold as high a tone as if they were in the majority, and the friends of the principles of the government! They pursue exactly the same track which their party have adopted so generally in this state and in Jersey & Newyork, and which has been indicated, though less conspicuously and with more caution in Virginia; that
is, the exciting divisions and jealousies among the republicans, with a view to some future operations, through the accession of malcontents, or the secession of disappointed office hunters, of which there are not a few in all parties.
Thoughts on Slave Trade
No. II.
THESE inhuman wretches landed, afford to the attentive spectator a full view of the depravity of the human heart when untutored by virtue. No sooner landed than they repair to those whom partial fortune and the God of war have elevated over numbers of their fellow men, whom they keep in bondage. (We shall at some future period endeavour to trace the origin of those wars which the poor deluded Africans continually carry on amongst themselves.) Thither they repair and make a traffic with them by giving a few gaudy toys as an equivalent for the liberty and happiness of intelligent beings—of man, "created in the image and after the likeness of God." Deluded, heedless mortals! is it thus you bestow your time and talents?—but more of this hereafter. Should these markets not be stored with a sufficient supply for their present wants, (as these unfeeling wretches term it) different modes must be adopted—various ways essayed to remove these inconveniences. They now use every art and guile to ensnare the poor African from his humble, but peaceful cot; who, unconscious of the hard fate which awaits him, surrenders himself an easy prey to his seducers, and finds, but alas! too late, the perfidy of the tendered friendship. Loaded with chains and hurried in the vessels hold—his mind agitated by the severest pangs, and at a loss to account for these outrages and conscious of having perpetrated nought to deserve this cruel treatment, now hopes that it is all a dream and that a period will soon be put to his sufferings; then beholding anew his chains and no longer doubting, he expostulates with those who have loaded him with them—he sets forth his innocence in the most empathetic strain and begs, (for what is his by the law of God and nature) he begs to be restored to his liberty! But these monsters, though prizing their own, are deaf to these appeals, and often when the supplicants continue to press them by intreaties to yield, they add to injustice inhumanity, by applying the lash and inflicting the severest punishments and tortures. The African's soul bleeds within him—his heart is rent by anguish, and finding all his efforts to soften his betrayers, of no avail, he entreats as the dearest wish of his heart, to be allowed to take a last farewell of his native home and to bid adieu to the partner of his toil and the pledges of their mutual affection—to shed a last tear upon the parental bosom—to embrace once more a respected friend. But incapable of a refined sentiment and insusceptible of those feelings which constitute the good man's, the christian's superlative happiness, and in which consists the beauty of the heart of man, they are deaf to the calls of woe—the cries of the agonized and tortured soul is music to their ears, and they rear their heads in triumph, and exult in the midst of desolations at which the sympathising heart shudders, and at which human nature revolts! If art does not avail, when every disguise and all fraud prove abortive—when the African sagaciously avoids the snares and traps which are laid and prepared for him, force, compulsory means are made use of. To particularise the accompanying scenes is needless, for every intelligent being knows to what length the vicious and inhuman wretch will go when actuated by ambition. Thus wherever they bend their steps, desolation walks before them and bleeding humanity groans beneath the weight of oppression, and is overpowered by the burden of its accumulated woes.
The address of the British Government, to be read in churches, distributed in the pews, and posted up like a Mountebank's or Merry Andrew's bill of entertainment, at the street corners and market-places, must have a wonderful effect upon the "swinish multitude," who can neither read themselves nor understand what is read to them! Besides this swinish herd (we use the language of the royal pensioner, the apostate Burke) comprises at least 100,000 lusty fellows, who are described by the same supple courtier as a horde of incorrigible Jacobins, ripe for the destruction of Church and State, and the consequent overthrow of the "Corinthian pillars of polished society," the sage and virtuous Nobility of the Realm! But whatever may be the effect of the Address, one thing is clear, that the adoption of such a measure betrays the weakness as well as the fears of the government; and must excite the ridicule and contempt even of the cooks and scullions of the Thuilleries.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
YORK, (Upper Canada) SEPT. 10. HIS Excellency Lt. Gen. Hunter, and suite have arrived here from Quebec.
The Metropolitan Church, at Quebec, it is said, will be consecrated about the ensuing Christmas; and will be perhaps, the most superb structure of the kind in America. A harmony of design, and a superior style of execution, render it a most pleasing object to all beholders. It is accommodated with an excellent Organ, a Choir of Singers; and nine Bells are to chime for devotional preparation—The Honorable Henry Caldwell, Esq. Receiver General of Lower Canada, has we understand, made a donation of 500 guineas for the erection of a monument within its walls, to the memory of the gallant Wolf!
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) AUG. 22. The Emerald frigate, of 36 guns, Capt. O'Brien, has taken a French frigate of superior force, after a long engagement, in which she was totally dismantled.
BRIDGETOWN, (Barbadoes) AUG. 30. The following official article bespeaks a liberal spirit of modern warfare:
Fort de France, (Mart.) Aug. 3. Admiral Villaret Joyeuse, Captain General of Martinique and its dependencies, accepts the proposals made to him by letter of his excellency Gen. Prevost, Governor and Commander in Chief of the island of Dominico for his Britannic Majesty dated the 1st of August, and taken into consideration, and willing to lessen as much as it is possible the ill consequences that may happen to individuals during the present war, it is agreed by and between the parties, that all cruizers and vessels bearing commission or letters of marque, are forbid to make any partial landings upon the Coasts, Bays, or Towns, either of the islands of Martinique or Dominico, upon pain of forfeiting the amount of bonds given and entered into upon obtaining such commission; & further, that restitution shall be made of all & every slave or slaves, or other effects, that may be taken off in consequence of such landing.
(Signed) VILLARET. PREVOST.
SEPT. 3. Gen. Grinfield and Commodore Hood, have failed against the Dutch colonies to the southward.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 17. By an arrival from Ireland, we have Belfast papers to Sept. 6th.
BELFAST, SEPT. 2. Numerous arrests continue daily to be made in Dublin. Many prisoners are secured in this town, and Carrickfergus, to take their trials before the ensuing courts-martial.
DUBLIN, AUG. 31. To-morrow the trial of the traitors commences. Arrests continue to be made. Five men, in the goal of Frenchmen, are amongst them.
SEPTEMBER 3. On Thursday Edward Kearney, was executed, for high-treason on the spot where Lord Kilwarden was murdered; and yesterday Thomas Maxwell Roche, and James Byrne shared the same fate, at the same place.
By the Olive, arrived at Baltimore, we (Phil. Gaz.) have received an accession to our files of London prints.—Our correspondent there under the date of Aug. 30, observes, "there are daily complaints among the merchants of the uncommon stagnation of business, the want of markets or demand for merchandise, and the scarcity of money, or what passes for money. There never was remembered a time when so little business has been done at the custom house for the last two months, and yet it is to that source that the minister looks for the chief part of the yearly revenue. The importation trade cannot but be considerably affected by the blockade of the Elbe and Weser, and the number of our cruizers which are running about the north seas in every direction, causing great alarm even to our allies on the continent must have the effect of suspending shipments of goods which would otherwise be constantly coming in. The stagnation of business at the custom-house, and excise offices, must materially lessen the receipts at the exchequer.—How this deficiency will be provided for, or what effect it will produce, cannot be predicted—I am just informed, that such has been the distress for cash felt by the merchants and bankers, that the bank of England has been applied to and actually discounted bills to the amount of a million and a half per week, for several weeks past.—It is hoped, that these evils, which are of a very serious nature, will be of short duration."
With respect to invasion, we are still threatened with it; but government is so well supported, that they have more men offering as volunteers
than they have arms to supply them with. Drilling goes on with great spirit. The ex-minister, Mr. Pitt, as commander of a corps of Kentish volunteers, and Mr. Addington are on the same military duty in different parts of the country.
"Accounts from Ireland relative to the late insurrection and its consequences are of so contradictory a nature there is no coming at the truth. The lord lieutenant and mayor of Dublin are doing every thing in their power to guard against the insurgents; but it is evident the country is far from being out of danger. Two counties, Meath and Kildare, are declared out of the king's peace, and put under martial law. Mean while, every one who has lately travelled over that country must feel a strong sympathy for the wretched situation of its peasantry."
PARIS, AUGUST 18.—Yesterday the First Consul gave audience to the high officers of state and constituted authorities.
The senate, the council of state, the tribunal, the commission of Government, and the members of the legislative body who were in Paris; the Tribunal of appeals, and the commissioners of the national Treasury, were successively introduced.
The Prefecture of the Seine, the municipal authorities, the tribunal of appeals, the criminal tribunal, the primary tribunal, the clergy of the Diocese of Paris, the council of general liquidation, the judges, and other public functionaries (together with several citizens of the Italian republic, presented by the minister of foreign affairs,) were afterwards introduced to the hall of audience.
Citizen la Place, vice-president of the senate, in his address to the chief consul in speaking of France says:—
"After having defined her limits by your victories; and consolidated them by treaties, you have the dignified ambition of procuring for her a grandeur still more desirable, as it is now purchased with the blood and tears of the people. For three years we have been rapidly advancing to that end, under the influence of your inspiring genius, and this is the latent cause of the envy of England. From all quarters you have heard the bursts of indignation which the violation of the most solemn treaty has excited against her government, and that too almost as soon as it was ratified. All Europe has revolted at the arrogance with which she has rejected your just and moderate propositions for the preservation of peace between two powerful nations, whose union would have insured tranquility to the world. The nation confiding in your destiny, entrusts to you the charge of avenging these outrages, and its hope will ere long be gratified."
Riouffe expressed himself to the same effect:—
"Yes (said he) the whole nation Citizen Consul; the whole nation entreat you to hasten the moment when, to use the words of a Roman historian, speaking of the first punic war, the violators of treaties shall learn, that to the courageous 'tis matter of indifference whether they fight on foot or on horseback, by sea or by land. You have justly acquired the appellation of peace maker of Europe—you will unite with it the title of the restorer of the liberty of the seas by punishing the perfidious government, which jealous of your glory, and the grandeur of France, has converted a solemn treaty of peace into a stratagem of war, and giving loose to its all grasping ambition, has originated itself like a barbarous power."
On withdrawing from this audience, all the officers of state and deputation paid homage to Madame Bonaparte.
At four o'clock the First Consul received the members of the Diplomatic body.
The bailey of Ferretta presented his credentials as Minister plenipotentiary of the order of Malta.
On the 15th inst. as had been announced the first of the gun-boats constructed at Paris, was launched from the port of Raper, by order of the Councillor of State, Prefect of the Police, and under the inspection of the Ministers of Marine. The left bank of the Seine, opposite to Raper, was covered by an immense crowd, and above the natural steps formed by the declivity of the bank, was to be seen a long file of carriages. The quay of Raper was equally crowded. At a signal given by one of the engineers, the carpenters struck away the props which retained the boat, and in an instant she descended with rapidity into the Seine, accompanied by repeated cries of "Long live the Republic, long live Bonaparte." The boat was then surrounded by a crowd of wherrys filled with the curious, who were eager to get on board of her. The Parisians saw with pleasure that this vessel, was named La Parisienne, as being the first produce of their voluntary donations.

SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
ACCOUNTS from Europe up to the 6th of September have reached us; from them we learn of no particular change in the state of affairs on the continent. The expedition of England was still talked of and preparations to that effect were prosecuted with the utmost alacrity in the French and Dutch ports. Addresses from the French people have been presented to the First Consul to induce him not to risk "his precious life in an expedition to England." Two Bankers were lately committed to the Temple, having given bills on Hamburg and Frankfort for three millions of livres for the use of Louis XVIII. This amount is said to have been subscribed at Paris, by royalists, since his intentions of not resigning his claim to the throne have been known. On the 19th August a Russian and Prussian courier arrived at Paris, and had a conference at St. Cloud with the First Consul. It was since reported that the French troops were to withdraw from the borders of the Elbe and Weser.—An uncommon state of activity prevails in England, in preparations to meet the event of an invasion. Whilst Great Britain is threatened by a foreign foe, she is every day in continual alarm from the intestine disturbances to which she has long and often been a prey. Accounts from Ireland continue to be distressing;—several counties have been declared out of the King's peace, and martial law established. Several executions have taken place, and a general trial of the Rebels had taken place previous to the departure of the last accounts; but the issue had not transpired. The secrecy with which the insurrection is carried on, is highly surprising, and notwithstanding the numerous arrests, the government is as yet unable to trace it to any individual. There is no doubt but the Irish had assurances of support from the French Republic, and expected it ere this; however they seem determined to try their own strength. On the 9th of September, it was reported at Liverpool, that five French gun-boats had failed from Dunkirk for England, about the first of September, but had been drove back with great loss by two British gun-boats. The report, circulated in this town of the landing of the French in Scotland, is so vague that no credit can possibly be attached to it. There is nothing to corroborate the statement, and accounts of four days later than those which are said to have brought the intelligence, are silent on the subject; neither does any private correspondence make mention of the same.—Rusia seems as yet undecided what part to take in the present war, and accounts seem to authenticate a belief that the court of St. Petersburg is decidedly in favour of Great-Britain. We are told that an alliance will take place between Great Britain and Russia, in consequence of the marriage of the Duke of Cambridge, youngest son to the King of England, to a Russian Princess, and that the electorate of Hanover is to be given them with a new title.—A general stagnation of business is experienced in Hamburg. Accounts from Spain say that Government is decidedly against siding with France, and that, if compelled to act, it will be in concert with England. Portugal is in momentary expectation and continual dread of a visit from the French. The fort and city of Messina, has been taken possession of by Lord Nelson.—Positive intelligence of the surrender of the fertile and important colony of Demerara to the British forces on the 19th of September, have been received. Little or no resistance was made. Berbice and Cronoke, have shared the same fate. For more circumstantial details we beg to refer our readers to the articles under Mail Head.
Extracts from a letter from an American of information, at Paris, dated 17th August.
"The cession of Louisiana to the United States is an epoch in the history of our country of which it is impossible as yet to foretell the consequences. There will doubtless be many in America to find fault; but for my own part, although I don't think an increase of territory a desirable object, yet considering the dependence some of the richest settlements of the United States have upon the free navigation of the Mississippi, I regard the purchase as the most politic, and the price not one hundredth part of its worth. France may be said to have given it away, since she receives for it not an eighth part of her annual revenue. If I was a young man, I would go and settle there immediately on its being surrendered. The commerce from thence to this country will be of the utmost consequence."

DOMESTIC.
WITH peculiar pleasure we announce to our readers the rapid decrease of the epidemic in our sister States, especially in Alexandria and Philadelphia. At New-York, the rage of the disease is also considerably abated; from Oct. 14th to the 16th inclusive, there were at New-York 16 deaths and 38 new cases.
Our readers may be gratified in perusing the accurate statement of the Elections, as given in this day's Gazette, as they will perceive the increase and triumph of Republicanism throughout the Union.
The effects of the late violent storms on the coast of America have been destructive in the extreme.
At Salem as appears from an article under that head, a gang of thieves is forming. We are happy to learn that one of them has been apprehended, as we trust that it may lead to a detection of others concerned.
Mr. Tracy, in his address to the freemen of Connecticut opposing democratical government has the following curious expressions, "a republican government, like our national government, or the government of this state, contemplates the people as sovereign as to the adoption of a constitution or form of government—sovereign in elections as to the person whom they will elect, &c. But when this republican government is formed, and the laws made, who is to controul? The people or the government? The government no doubt." That is, (as Mr. Tracy would have it,) after the government is formed, and the laws made, the people have no more sovereignty. What good then did the sovereignty they exercised, in forming the government and appointing its officers, do them, if afterwards they have no power either to alter or change the government or its officers? If the government is then to controul, they can have no power to alter or change it, or preserve their liberties from the encroachments of arbitrary power, or remove unfaithful officers. And this Mr. Tracy would have to be the case in the government of the United States. But, if we look into the constitution, we find it otherwise, that shows us, that the people of the United States have framed a constitution, by which the government is to proceed according to their will therein declared, and in which is expressed their sovereign power to build up, or pull down. That the government is excluded from all sovereignty, and it remains first and last in the people. The sovereign power has no bounds, its authority is, by the constitution, uncontrollable. The government hath no rights, it is subject and accountable to the people. Sovereignty, united with the government, is usurpation over the people. Where such an union subsists, there tyranny reigns. The United States have, by their constitution retained the sovereignty in their own hands, and thereby enjoy perfect freedom and independence. Mr. Tracy further says, "in a democracy the people controul the government, and instead of enjoying any true national liberty, they have only the liberty of making themselves preeminently miserable; and therefore it is that democracies have ever moved, and ever must move with an awfully rapid stride to despotism." This gentleman, being destitute of arguments to support his principles, or overthrow democracy, endeavours to frighten us out of it with awful words. But the people of the United States are not to be bullied out of their principles. The bright and clear evidences they have of the transcendent excellency of their government, and of the purity and sublimity of its principles, arising from the daily experience of its happy effects, render all Mr. Tracy and his fellow-workers have said, or can say, perfectly ridiculous in their eyes. In spite of all the efforts of those enemies of liberty and republicanism, our government grows more and more estimable and venerable with the people, and in the surrounding nations. We have reduced to practice what has been before thought impossible. The world now beholds, with admiration and respect,—a people governing themselves by laws of their own framing. They have erected a Bulwark against tyranny and oppression, against which monarchists and aristocrats form and rage in vain. The federalists are so enamoured with the luscious ideas of subjecting the people, and fattening upon the fruits of their labours, that their rationality and enlarged spirit is to them intolerable.
As to those who call themselves republicans, yet are neither one thing nor another, changeable as the weathercock, republicans to day, and federalists to morrow, and the next day nobody knows what;—as their character is known, they are become of no consequence, are plagues to themselves, and despised by both parties. An enlightened, steady and uniform republican, is the grandest political character on earth, and attainable by the poorest as well as the richest. It is the character of thousands of citizens, of every class, throughout the United States.

COMMUNICATIONS. Messrs. PRINTERS. THE candor of Mr. PARK, editor of the New-England Repository, as displayed in his first address to the public, was peculiarly fascinating and really characteristic. It was fascinating to those who believed his professions were true; but to those who were not quite so credulous, it may be gratifying to trace the conduct of that gentleman. Candor no longer (if ever it did, and this we doubt) holds its empire; and this gentleman is assiduous in inserting and transcribing the most inflammatory and false writings. Othello, so famous for scandal and infamy, composes part of his well assorted transcriptions. However, we are willing to believe that Mr. PARK is not solely entitled to the encomiums of the well meaning part of society, but that the Essex Junto are entitled to their dividend. His text we have heard, and the comment each of us can make.
To "Othello," a writer in the N.H. Courier.
"The innocent are never secure from the oppression of false witnesses."
WHERE the fallacy of arguments adduced to prove the guilt of any individual or nation, is so plainly erroneous, false and malignant, as in the writings of Othello, there is no need of counter arguments. It would only be wasting of time,—time too precious to be bestowed upon those, who, like him, are the scourge of society—the bane of nations—the disgrace of their country. Vile wretch, learn to amend—endeavor to copy the beauties of your Constitution—no longer bestow your time and talents in traducing the character of the best of Magistrates—no longer excite and nourish divisions betwixt Americans; cease to show to society your vileness and unworthiness—cease to implore a reform of your political system—cease to be unworthy your country, by not appreciating the true blessings of liberty—Learn to discriminate betwixt truth and error—revert from your impositions upon the credulous and shallow-minded, whom alone can fall a victim to your impious doctrines. We beg leave, (as we think the subject no ways deserving of a more circumstantial answer) to refer Othello to the fable of the "Frogs," and sincerely hope that the attentive perusal of the fable, may be attended with salutary and beneficial influences, in persuading him that a reform in the actual state of things, would end as unfavorably as the change of the monarch of frogs.

"SAY, who art thou, and whence thy cure, For sorrows such as I endure? Will, at thy word, the grave restore The youth I ever must deplore? Vain boaster, canst thou calm a mind That joy and hope has now resigned? Unmoved, alas! I fatigued I hear Reason's dull murmurs in my ear: Religion would my sighs restrain, Her soothing voice I lift in vain; And Virtue bids me clasp her fold The grief which to my heart I hold; Say, who art thou, and whence thy cure For sorrows such as I endure?"  Fair mourner! all these taunts severe I reek not—for I often hear, Rebukes in my powerful sway; Thy heart must break, or must obey. Didst thou me; yet whatever thy sorrow, From me shalt thou that comfort borrow; Mark these firm wings that never fold, This hour gils, and this thyself behold, Already hast thou learnt from me In words to paint thy misery!

Thoughts on the modern warin Contro- versy respecting BAPTISM.
[No. XII.]
IN the preceding number we have taken notice of the Lord's words, "suffer little children to come unto me, &c." for of such is the kingdom of Heaven; as proving that the infants of believers are members of his church or kingdom. This proof men have endeavoured to evade, by saying that in that text Christ meant the kingdom of glory. But this is saying that Christ has two kingdoms; whereas we read in the New Testament only of one. Besides; what an absurd supposition is it, that men needed to be told that they must not forbid the entrance of infants into glory, but must let them enter! As tho' mortals held the keys of Heaven, and could introduce or shut out, at their pleasure! The Pedobaptist Edwards, makes a miserable account of the text before referred to, and parallel passages. He would have it; that as the membership of infants in the Jewish church had been long settled, Christ speaks of them only under that idea, as acknowledged members of the church. That he recognized infants as church members; meaning, (as this writer explains himself) infants "indefinitely." He tells us that it could be said of infants, as infants, where the Lord Jesus was, that they belonged to the church on earth. If so they were all born church members where he was; and infants as such must be church members by birth also where we are. For this reason holds that the same membership continues. Thus he makes the striking words of Christ to be nothing more than a recognition of Jewish membership to continue in a supposed visible church into which infants now enter when they first draw vital air. And what a church is this, which all infants "indefinitely" in a country called christian belong to? why surely it is a worldly church, if there be any such thing in nature. Christ taught that men are born into his kingdom by a supernatural birth, whereas they were born into the earthly church by that which is natural. But this author teaches otherwise; and moreover makes nothing of the irreversible blessing of Christ, but the recognition of an external privilege common to every Jewish child, whereas the infants whom he took in his arms and blessed, are now beyond all peradventure happy in the glorious kingdom of God. On the other hand Jenkins the opponent of Edwards, gives a no less lame account of the passage. To evade the plain truth taught in it, he falls to work with his distinctions. But if instead of being confused by these, we attend to Christ's words, we may see that he makes his kingdom and church to be one and the same thing. By comparing his words to Peter on his confession, Matt. 16th, with his words to Pilate in his own good confession, John 18th, it is manifest that in the former he calls that his church, which in the latter he calls his kingdom; a society built on the truth. The same thing appears by the current of his discourses and parables. Jenkins by his distinctions would multiply this one kingdom into four. 1st. The preaching of the gospel. 2d. The work of grace in the heart. 3d. The church of Christ in the world. And 4th. The kingdom of glory. And would have it that infants may belong to one of these kingdoms, and not to the others. Is not this making strange and perverse work with Christ's words? Does this look like coming to them for instruction, with the simplicity of a child? Surely Christ's church is one; it is one body. Surely his words shew that dying infants belong to it, and living infants too; even those that were brought in faith to be blessed by him. These then were, and now are in his heavenly kingdom. And yet no man knows that they died in infancy. On the whole it appears, that Christ has expressly declared that the infants of believers belong to his church. They are to be received as his. When they become adult, they are to be judged of by their professing or not professing the faith, being no longer the infants of believers. But while infants they are of that one body to which the one baptism belongs. To deny this to them, is to forbid their coming to Christ. It is to make a schism in the one body: it is to break it into two divisions, the one part to be baptized, the other to be unbaptized, yea many of this part, certainly to die unbaptized—may also be considered as dividing the one baptism into two. An immediate washing for holy parents, and a deferred conditional one for holy children. Both of the same church, both owned by the Lord as his little ones. Christ has appointed that his sanctified church should be washed with water. Men say part of it should, and part should not. But I need not enlarge. The Baptists will admit that if the infants of believers belong to Christ's body the church, they should be baptized. And it appears from the explicit words of scripture that they belong to that body.  (Concluded.)

THE MONITOR, No. IV. How low are we fallen! How degenerated from the Divine Image in which we were created. So that instead of being in-
fluenced by real love and benevolence, we are selfish, mean and cowardly, and hostile to each other;—Mean and selfish, as looking only at our own things and not another's—Cowardly, as being afraid of coming to want, we are niggardly and covetous, even under the most zealous professions of religion; and therefore we are hostile to one another, over-reaching extorting and plundering; being friendly only to those whom we can subject to our lusts after wealth and power and sensual pleasures. Our lusts are consuming us; But we regard it not. Hence it is, that we cannot attend to the words of God, calling upon us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him; to give liberally,—to labour not merely for ourselves, but for our brethren of mankind who are poor and afflicted, and whom God hath appointed among us to prove us, to see if we have any goodness of heart,—to shew us our selves. How vain then is our religion, with which we make such a stir in the world!—Woe unto the Pastors that eat up my people, saith God. And the woe is hastening upon them. It is meet, that God should recompense tribulation to them that have troubled his people, and hunted them out of the world, and the dreadful recompense is near at hand.
We are disputing and provoking one another about baptism when we ought to be provoking one another only to love and good works. Were we full of those—did we put on, as God's children, bowls of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, gentleness, long suffering and charity, we should be no longer at variance about Baptism, or in the dark as to the answer of a good conscience, by the resurrection of CHRIST from the dead. Being destitute of this answer, we are destitute of judgment and mercy, and deluding ourselves with a vain religion and false zeal, which is soon to leave us in astonishment and horror.
