Bateman's genuine DROPS.
Fresh and Good—just received
Direct from Dacey & Co's ware house at Boar's-head, No. 10 Bow-Lane, London.
As the high repute in which this inestimable Medicine has been held by the public for more than 70 years past, induces so many people to counterfeit it, (inasmuch that there is scarce a town where a spurious sort of Bateman's drops are not exposed to sale) The public are informed they may now be supplied with the true genuine kind at C. Peirce's store, Portsmouth, N. H. in N. America, price 42 cents per bottle.
The good effect of these Drops, are so universally known, that little need be said by way of recommendation. But in the following complaints they seldom fail of a cure, if taken seasonably, viz Cough and colds, agues, pains in the limbs, head, &c. Rheumatism, Stone and gravel; Fevers; female complaints; and are excellent indeed for lying-in women.
C. PEIRCE, has also a fresh and genuine assortment of other Patent Medicines. Nov. 13.

POLITICAL MISCELLANY
From the Baltimore American.
The editor of the 'Norfolk Public Ledger,' (G. L. Gray) in recommending a series of numbers, entitled 'DISPUTES WITH SPAIN,' from the 'respectable' gazette of Bronson and Chauncy, observes in his introductory remarks 'we could wish that it were in our power to separate the argument from the inuendo. We wish to use every honorable disproof from war; because we believe it to be much against our interest. And though we have not the fullest confidence in the talents of our administration, and particularly doubt their ability to conduct any war; yet we cannot think that it is either decorous or advantageous to traduce the President of the United States at this or any other time, with such invidious distinction. Any thing bordering on intemperance necessarily weakens the force of the best reasoning, and we are sorry to say has that effect upon the otherwise valuable remarks of this writer.'
The preceding would testify that the late high handed anti-democratic measures have been somewhat exploded and that Gray is not willing to be dragged, by the minions of aristocracy, through every mud puddle which he may chance to meet with.
The writer further states, in a strain of malicious and vindictive irony, 'we might indeed soon raise an army which after some time would be entirely adequate to our defence—but a standing army is, in the view of our republican rulers, unfriendly to liberty, and hostile to free governments.'
On this Gray has made the following candid, and to himself honorable observations:
'And in that opinion every man who has read the history either of ancient or modern times must concur with our rulers. Liberty never has, for any period deserving record, existed in any country, unless we may say, with a standing army; they are two things diametrically opposed to each other: they can never act in concert. In a republic whose interest is peace, the inhabitants never think of addicting themselves to military studies and pursuits; and in such a country a regular armed force, instead of being a protection would in a very short time become an object of terror and dismay as it ought ever to be one of jealousy and distrust. In the hands of an intriguing, a bold and wicked leader, experience tells us how easily it can be applied to any purpose of mischief. Whether, therefore our rulers be democratical or federal; whether a philosopher or soldier, a Mr. Jefferson or a Gen. Pinckney [why not John Adams?] be entrusted with the executive powers, we sincerely hope that an abhorrence of a standing army, that bane to domestic happiness, that restless enemy of all but military governments, may form a characteristic in the system of administration. Look this moment at France. Successively has she borne the penance of every political sin; & she is now scourged by her army. Most cordially do our sentiments on this subject unite with what we believe to be the sentiments of administration. What in a federal executive we would praise, we cannot less applaud in Mr. Jefferson. He who will censure for the mere sake of censuring is not a fit criterion of public opinion.'
From the Boston Chronicle.
ELECTORAL TICKET—With honest transports we may congratulate our fellow-citizens of New-England, on the prospect before us. The Republicans have completely baffled all the arts of the monarchists, and their Electors will be carried by a majority of FIVE THOUSAND! The accounts by every mail, from the East or the West, contribute to enhance the triumph of "first principles." The loud boasting of the Anglo-tories has ceased, and the dominion of rational freedom will have an unrestricted force and currency in our national councils. The intrigues for a foreign influence must "hide their diminished heads," and America will be left to the furtherance of her own energies and virtues.
Since our emancipation from G. Britain, there has not been a more momentous occasion for our rejoicing, than the present. We have overthrown a political hydra, a monster that was engendered by anti-republican prejudices to destroy us. It had

three fronts, and each was declaratory of falsehood—on one was inscribed religion, on another order, and on the third good government! But its actions were in direct hostility with its sentiments. For its mock regards for Religion, were only displayed by its attempts to introduce an hierarchical establishment, and by its animosities towards Christian charity and a political toleration of all sects: Its mock regards for Order, were displayed by licentious meetings at tavern-banquets, where sedition floated in every bumper, and gave deformity to every sentiment: In demi-pagan processions to the House of God, to celebrate the unhappy termination of a gentleman who was a Duelist in practice, and an Aristocrat in principle! Thus, apparently, seeking by every species of civic disorder, to prove their contempt for the letter and spirit of their own hypocritical pretence to popular respect. Their ideas of Good Government, are too miserably notorious to need much comment. Their standing army—their eight per cent loans—their inconvenient and burdensome stamp-acts and excise laws, which, while they oppressed the people, scarcely paid the collector—their unnecessary multiplication of judges, to answer the most fatal purposes of tory ambition, at a period when the judicial arrangements were fully equal to the investigation and decision of all causes respecting civil right and wrong—their abrupt removal from office of every man who would not cease to honor the revolution—their insolent disdain of all democratic or popular governments, and their incessant and vindictive abuse of every individual who defended equal privileges; form their audacious claims to a wholesome regard for the duties and immunities comprehended in the system of good government! But their hour is come, for the good sense of the Citizens of Massachusetts has abridged the progress of the calamity; their sense of such pretensions and such deeds, has been providentially exhibited by this memorable and glorious result, which not only adds honour to this firm Commonwealth, but conveys, at the same time, a renewed source of strength and happiness to the Executive Authority; which must derive its highest consolations and its most vigorous nerve, from the acquired veneration and according confidence of the people.
To prevent a restoration of the late afflictive order of things, it is even now necessary that we should be guarded against the mischiefs and complottings of this dismayed faction. They are prostrate and they are confounded, but they are not regenerated. They are still actuated by the same baneful opinions, and they are not wholly destitute of the flattery of hope. Yet (to use the words of Mr. Otis) "I intreat your indulgence while I employ a few moments in diverting your attention from the view of these melancholy contingencies, which I trust in God we shall never realize, to a more splendid prospect. In the first place, may I be allowed to felicitate my countrymen upon the internal appearance of the affairs of this State. The chair of government is adorned by the Patriot, whose services have endeared him to a greatest people, and the elections lead us ardently to expect and desire a perfect coalition of parties. Upon this subject it might be expected that I should enlarge; but victorious wisdom disdains the insult of a triumph. Let us rather repose upon the hope, that the unexampled spirit of conciliation which pervades, will soon bury all but the endearing distinctions of countrymen, friend and brother."
A few days since, a thorough-going federalist from Hampshire county, we are told, met the "Centinel Major," in State Street, and thus accosted him: Well Major? I think you gained a point the other day in ousting Dr. Eustis? Yes replied the Major, we gained a point, but have lost a Gailon! how so says the gentleman? how so? why instead of TEN THOUSAND majority for the "Adams and Washington," Electoral Ticket as I had predicted, the "JEFFERSONIAN" Ticket, will prevail by two or three thousand, consequently Mr. Jefferson, will have every vote in Massachusetts! Impossible replied the gentleman, it is "too true" says the Major. Oh dear, Oh dear.
An honest country deacon, hearing the conversation of his neighbours about the scarcity of corn in many parts of the country—well said he, my friends that may be all true, but we had a right good Husking in our town yesterday—we had 141 Bushels Clear Corn and only 14 Bushels of COBB CORN.

THURSDAY NOV. 8.
Agreeably to appointment, at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States, by Mr. Burwell, his Secretary, delivered the following
MESSAGE
to both Houses of Congress, viz.
TO THE
SENATE
AND
House of Representatives
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
TO a people, fellow citizens, who sincerely desire the happiness and prosperity of other nations; to those who justly calculate that their own well being is advanced by that of the nations with which they have intercourse, it will be a satisfaction to observe that the war, which was lighted up in Europe a little before our last meeting, has not yet extended its flames to other nations, nor been marked by the calamities which some times stain the footsteps of war. The irregularities too on the ocean, which generally harrafs the commerce of neutral nations, have, in dif-
tant parts, disturbed ours less than on former occasions. But, in the American seas, they have been greater from peculiar causes; and even within our harbours and jurisdiction, infringements on the authority of the laws have been committed which have called for serious attention. The friendly conduct of the governments from whose officers and subjects these acts have proceeded, in other respects, and in places more under their observation and control, gives us confidence that our representations on this subject will have been properly regarded.
While noticing the irregularities committed on the ocean by others, those on our part should not be omitted, nor left unprovided for. Complaints have been received that persons residing within the United States, have taken on themselves to arm merchant vessels, and to force a commerce into certain ports and countries, in defiance of the laws of those countries. That individuals should undertake to wage private war, independently of the authority of their country, cannot be permitted in a well ordered society. Its tendency to produce aggression on the laws and rights of other nations, and to endanger the peace of our own, is so obvious, that I doubt not you will adopt measures for restraining it effectually in future.
Soon after the passage of the act of the last session, authorizing the establishment of a district and port of entry on the waters of the Mobile, we learnt that its object was misunderstood on the part of Spain. Candid explanation were immediately given, and assurances, that, reserving our claims in that quarter as a subject of discussion and arrangement with Spain, no act was meditated in the mean time inconsistent with the peace and friendship existing between the two nations: and that conformably to these intentions would be the execution of the law. That government had however thought proper to suspend the ratification of the convention of 1802. But the explanations which would reach them soon after, and still more the confirmation of them by the tenor of the instrument establishing the port and district, may reasonably be expected to replace them in the dispositions and views of the whole subject which originally dictated the convention.
I have the satisfaction to inform you that the objections which had been urged by that government against the validity of our title to the country of Louisiana have been withdrawn; its exact limits however remaining still to be settled between us. And to this is to be added that having prepared and delivered the stock created in execution of the convention of Paris of April 30th, 1803, in consideration of the cession of that country, we have received from the government of France an acknowledgment in due form of the fulfilment of that stipulation.
With the nations of Europe in general our friendship and intercourse are undisturbed: and from the governments of the belligerent powers especially, we continue to receive those friendly manifestations which are justly due to an honest neutrality and to such good offices consistent with that, as we have opportunities of rendering.
The activity and success of the small force employed in the Mediterranean in the early part of the present year, the reinforcement sent into that sea, and the energy of the officers having command in the several vessels, will, I trust, by the sufferings of war, reduce the barbarians of Tripoli to the desire of peace on proper terms. Great injury however ensues to ourselves as well as to others interested, from the distance to which prizes must be brought for adjudication, and from the impracticability of bringing hither such as are not sea-worthy.
The Bey of Tunis having made requisitions unauthorised by our treaty, their rejection has produced from him some expressions of discontent. But to those who expect us to calculate whether a compliance with unjust demands will not cost us less than a war, we must leave as a question of calculation for them also, whether to retrieve from unjust demands will not cost them less than a war. We can do to each other very sensible injuries by war. But the mutual advantages of peace make that the best interest of both.
Peace and intercourse with the other powers on the same coast continue on the footing on which they are established by treaty.
In pursuance of the act providing for the temporary government of Louisiana, the necessary officers for the territory of Orleans were appointed in due time to commence the exercise of their functions on the first day of October. The distance however of some of them, and indispensable previous arrangements, may have retarded its commencement in some of its parts. The form of government thus provided having been considered but as temporary, and open to such future
improvements as further information of the circumstances of our brethren there might suggest, it will of course be subject to your consideration.
In the district of Louisiana it has been thought best to adopt the division into subordinate districts which had been established under its former government. These being five in number, a commanding officer has been appointed to each, according to the provisions of the law, and so soon as they can be at their stations that district will also be in its due state of organization. In the mean time their places are supplied by the officers before commanding there, and the functions of the Governor and judges of Indiana having commenced, the Government, we presume, is proceeding in its new form. The lead mines in that district offer so rich a supply of that metal as to merit attention. The report now communicated will inform you of their state, and of the necessity of immediate enquiry into their occupation and titles.
With the Indian tribes established within our newly acquired limits, I have deemed it necessary to open conferences for the purpose of establishing a good understanding, and neighbouring relations between us. So far as we have yet learned we have reason to believe that their dispositions are generally favorable and friendly. And, with these dispositions on their part, we have in our own hands means which cannot fail us, for preserving their peace and friendship, by pursuing an uniform course of justice towards them, by aiding them in all the improvements which may better their condition, and especially by establishing a commerce on terms which shall be advantageous to them, and only not losing to us, and so regulated as that no incendiaries, of our own, or any other nation, may be permitted to disturb the natural effects of our just and friendly offices, we may render ourselves so necessary to their comfort and prosperity, that the protection of our citizens from their disorderly members, will become their interest and their voluntary care. Instead therefore of an augmentation of military force, proportioned to our extension of frontier, I propose a moderate enlargement of the capital employed in that commerce as a more effectual, economical, and humane instrument for preserving peace and good neighbourhood with them.
On this side the Mississippi an important relinquishment of native title has been received from the Delawares. That tribe, desiring to extinguish in their people the spirit of hunting, and to convert superfluous lands into the means of improving what they retain, has ceded to us all the country between the Wabash and Ohio, south of, & including the road from the Rapids towards Vincennes: for which they are to receive annuities in animals and implements for agriculture, and in other necessaries. This acquisition is important not only for its extent and fertility, but as fronting three hundred miles on the Ohio, and near half that on the Wabash, the produce of the settled country descending those rivers will no longer pass in review of the Indian frontier, but in a small portion; and with the cession heretofore made by the Kaskaskias, nearly consolidates our possessions north of the Ohio, in a very respectable breadth from Lake Erie to the Mississippi. The Piankeshaws having some claim to the country ceded by the Delawares, it has been thought best to quiet that by fair purchase also. So soon as the treaties on this subject shall have received their constitutional sanction, they shall be laid before both houses.
The act of congress of February 28, 1803, for building and employing a number of gun boats, is now in a course of execution to the extent there provided for. The obstacle to naval enterprise which vessels of this construction offer for our sea-port towns, their utility towards supporting within our waters the authority of the laws, the promptness with which they will be manned by the seamen and militia of the place in the moment they are wanting, the facility of their assembling from different parts of the coast to any point where they are required in greater force than ordinary, the economy of their maintenance and preservation from decay when not in actual service, and the competence of our finances to this defensive provision without any new burthen, are considerations which will have due weight with congress in deciding on the expediency of adding to their number from year to year, as experience shall test their utility, until all our important harbors, by these and auxiliary means, shall be secured against insult and opposition to the laws.
No circumstance has arisen since your last session which calls for an augmentation of our regular military force. Should any improvement occur in the militia system, that will be always seasonable.
Accounts of the receipts and expenditures of the last year, with estimates
for the ensuing one will, as usual, be laid before you.
The state of our finances continues to fulfill our expectations. Eleven millions and an half of dollars received in the course of the year ending on the 30th of September last, have enabled us, after meeting all the ordinary expenses of the year, to pay upwards of three millions six hundred thousand dollars of the public debt, exclusive of interest. This payment, with those of the two preceding years, has extinguished upwards of twelve millions of principal, and a greater sum of interest, within that period; and by a proportionate diminution of interest renders already sensible the effect of the growing sum yearly applicable to the discharge of principal.
It is also ascertained that the revenue accrued during the last year exceeds that of the preceding; and the probable receptions of the ensuing year, may safely be relied on as sufficient, with the sum already in the Treasury, to meet all the current demands of the year, to discharge upwards of three millions and an half of the engagements incurred under the British and French conventions, and to advance in the further redemption of the funded debt as rapidly as had been contemplated.
These, Fellow-Citizens, are the principal matters which I have thought it necessary at this time to communicate for your consideration and attention. Some others will be laid before you in the course of the session. But in the discharge of the great duties confided to you by our country, you will take a broader view of the field of legislation. Whether the great interests of agriculture, manufactures, commerce or navigation, can, within the pale of your constitutional powers, be aided in any of their relations?—Whether laws are provided in all cases where they are wanting? Whether those provided are exactly what they should be? Whether any abuses take place in their administration or in that of the public revenues? Whether the organization of the public agents, or of the public force is perfect in all its parts? In fine, whether any thing can be done to advance the general good? are questions within the limits of your functions, which will necessarily occupy your attention. In these and all other matters, which you in your wisdom may propose for the good of our country, you may count with assurance on my hearty co-operation and faithful execution.
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The following memorial has been addressed by the Ursuline Nuns of the City of New-Orleans, to the President of the United States. To THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America.
SIR, "Emboldened by the favourable mention you have been pleased to make of their Order, the Nuns of Ursula at N.O. take the liberty of addressing you on a subject highly interesting to their institution. They believe that without any direct application, the treaty of cession and the sense of justice which marks the character of the United States, would have secured to them the property they now possess; but considering it a sacred deposit, they would fail in a duty they deem essential, were they to omit requesting that it may be formally confirmed to them and their successors, and that you may be pleased to communicate this request to the Congress of the United States in such a manner as you may deem proper.
"Our request is dictated by no wish of personal gratification or private aggrandizement. Secluded from the world, its luxuries and vanities, wealth and the enjoyments it brings would to them have no attraction.—devoted to religious duties, temporal advantages are not the objects of their pursuits; but bound by a solemn obligation to employ their revenue in charitable uses, and their time in the education of youth, they cannot but be anxious to know that the property which is to enable them to fulfil their duties will be secured to them: It is not, therefore, their own cause, but that of the public which they plead. It is the cause of the orphan, of the helpless child of want, of the many who may be snatched from the paths of vice and infamy under their guidance, and be trained up in the habits of virtue and religion to be happy and useful; of society which will be relieved from the burthen of the indigent and depredations of vice—of their country itself, which cannot but acquire honor in softening and protecting such beneficent purposes.
"These considerations they know, sir, will have weight with you. They anticipate your support; they deserve it—and they conclude with their ardent wishes for your personal happiness and the prosperity of the country whose affairs you direct.
"We have the honour to be, with the highest respect, Sir, your most obedient servants.
New-Orleans, June 1804.

To the Rev. Thérèse de St. Xavier Fa- rion, Superior, and the Nuns of the Order of St. Ursula, at New-Orleans. "I have received, holy Sisters, the letter you have written me, wherein you express anxiety for the property vested in your institution, by the for- mer governments of Louisiana. The principles of the Constitution and Government of the United States are a sure guarantee to you, that it will be preserved to you sacred and invio- late, and that your institution will be permitted to govern itself according to its own voluntary rules without in- terferences from the civil authority. Whatever diversity of shade may ap- pear in the religious opinions of our fellow citizens, the charitable objects of your institution cannot be indiffer- ent to any, and its furtherance of the wholesome purposes of society, by training up its younger members in the way they should go, cannot fail to ensure it the patronage of the govern- ment it is under; be assured it will meet all the protection which my office can give it. I salute you, holy Sisters, with friendship and respect. (Signed,) THOMAS JEFFERSON.
NEW-YORK, NOV. 9.
A Bear Fight.—A gentleman from Cayuga county, between the Seneca and Cayuga lakes, relates that a Mr. Wayborne a farmer in Ovid township, went out one afternoon through the wood in search of his horses, taking with him his rifle with the only load of ammunition he had in the house. On his return home, about an hour before dusk, he perceived a very large bear crossing the path; on which he instantly fired, and the bear fell but immediately recovered his legs, made for a deep ravine, a short way a head. Here he tracked him a while by the blood; but night coming on, and ex- pecting to find him dead in the morn- ing, he returned home. A little be- fore day-break the next morning, tak- ing a pitchfork and hatchet, and his son, a boy of ten or eleven years of age, with him, he proceeded to the place in quest of the animal. The glen of ravine, into which he had dis- appeared the evening before, is eighty or ninety feet from the top of the banks to the bottom of the brook be- low: down this precipice a stream of three or four yards in breadth is pre- cipitated in one unbroken sheet, and forming a circular basin or pool, winds away among thick underwood below.
After reconnoitering every proba- ble place of retreat, he at length dis- covered the bear, who had made his way up the other side of the ravine, as far as the rock would admit him, and sat under a projecting cliff, steadfastly eyeing the motions of his enemy.
Wayborne desiring his boy to re- main where he was, took the pitch- fork, and, descending to the bottom, determined to attack him from below. The bear kept his position until he got within six or seven feet, when on the instant of making a stab with the pitchfork, he found himself grappled by Bruin, and both together rolled down towards the pond, at least twen- ty-five feet, the bear munching his left arm and breast, and hugging him al- most to suffocation. By great exert- ion he forced his right arm partly down his throat and in that manner endeavored to strangle him, but was once more hurried headlong down through the bushes a greater distance than before, into the water.—Here, finding the bear gaining on him, he made one desperate effort, and forced his head partly under water, and re- peating his exertions, at length weak- ened the animal so much, that calling to his boy who stood on the other side in a state little short of distraction for the fate of his father, he sunk the edge of his hatchet; by repeated blows in- to his brain.
Wayborne, though a robust muscu- lar man, was with great difficulty a- ble to crawl home, where he lay for upwards of three weeks with his wounds, his arm being mashed from the shoulder to the elbow into the bone, and his breast severely mangled. The bear weighed upwards of 420 pounds.
The republicans have demonstrated, that they regard principles more than particular men, or countries, by giving up Bonaparte and the French, the moment the cause of liberty was pro- fessedly renounced in France, and an acknowledged despotism erected in its stead. It was on principle, that some of our own revolutionary characters were given up, (as an Adams and an Hamilton,) when their hostility to the sacred cause of liberty was discovered, and their predilection for monarchy became evident. On the same princi- ple a Jefferson a Madison a Dearborn a Langdon, and every name at present dear to republicanism and liberty, will be renounced should they discover an inclination to rob the people of their rights and sink the nation into vassal- age and slavery. (Observatory.)
To the printers of the N. H. Gazette— TWO Lawyers, a Councillor and a carrier of electioneering pam- phlets, combined against one plain un- lettered farmer, is a mighty odds— Yet the late Treasurer (whose smiling, fair-faced self complacency seems a little discomposed at the detection of some false assertions respecting the late election to that office) may allow me to parody on his publication of the 3d. inst. When a man, making some pretensions to elevation of senti- ment, good breeding and honor, can disregard the dictates of self respect, and rudely attempt to infringe the in- dependence of a member of the Le- gislature by laying wagers; and asking questions respecting his vote, which (by the manner adopted for receiving votes, is always intended to remain a secret) he must be driven to extraor- dinary expedients, and the unassisted declarations of sympathising federal zealots with subtle attempts to entan- gle an unwary man in words, will not be sufficient for his justification. He may be mortified by the loss of an of- fice which he had contrived to make very lucrative; and he ought to be so at the recollection of his having him- self given countenance to a report that he was fairly elected and cheated out of the office. It is a common say- ing that he who lives in a glass house, should not be the first to throw stones. Mr. Peabody has charged me with duplicity in attempting to conceal what he had no right to know, and con- cerning which good manners should have forbid him to question me. I have already informed him that one reason why the public confidence in him was diminished, was on account of the part he took in the election of a certain Senator in 1802—To recrimi- nate is just—and now let me ask Mr. P. if he considers himself wholly free from the charge of duplicity or false dealing (after the very influential part he took in that election) in gravely asserting that he had no part in it?— And whether he can find an ample justification in his own mind for hav- ing retained from the Legislature, for a considerable length of time the ne- cessary information which occasioned that appointment?—Whether as a public officer in a confidential office, it was dealing fairly and honorably with the Court that appointed him, to retain Mr. Sheafe's letter of resigna- tion for a week or ten days, 'till the midnight intriguers of his party were prepared to take the Legislature by surprise?
Mr. P. says he gave me his reasons for making application to me, which were to exculpate Mr. Chamberlain from the abusive charge brought a- gainst him by Mr. Morrill. I have already informed the public, that I heard not a word from him of Mr. C.—Whether Mr. Morrill's charge a- gainst Mr. Chamberlain, was abusive or not, time may unfold, and the judgment of the self created judge in this case, may be set aside by the Le- gislature, when the subject comes be- fore them. Jacob Pease.
The tory Junta are mighty squeam- ish when we talk about the "physical strength" of Massachusetts being in favour of the present Administration. They think it is a threat, but do not recollect how long they have vaunted in their might; and that the arm of the Northern States, and the "hun- dred hills of Massachusetts," were put in defiance of Virginia! They do not remember the threat of sending the Republicans within "the enemies lines"—their cockade pageantry, and the various terms of insult and defam- ation on those who dared to think in opposition to them. Now, forsooth, we are not to say a word, after all their attempts to dissolve the Union, and the unparalleled outrages they have committed in their feasts of shells, exemplified in toasts of the most malignant nature. They are so ten- der nerved, they cannot bear to hear any thing said reflecting on their con- duct, tho' even at this time the tory papers are filled with abuse, and per- sonal calumny. They are now pro- claiming their determination to ad- here to each other, and, when an op- portunity offers, to rally again in their full strength.
Altho' the Republicans are mag- nanimous in their conduct, yet the in- sulting attitude taken by the federal editors, demands a vigorous exertion to counteract their plots in future.— The Junta are to be watched with double circumspection. Tho' we scorn to treat them as they have treated others, yet as enemies they are viewed with a jealous eye. We know their hostile disposition, and how far the leaders have deceived their followers. They will ever be awake to sound the tocsin of disunion; and tho' the "sleep- ing Sampson" may drowse over their present cup of lamentation, yet if we suffer their locks to grow, by placing them in any official situation, the old wound will be fretted, and we may ex- pect in time they will break out afresh in some other part of the body poli- tick.
The Republicans will never hurt a hair of their heads; but the safety of our country requires that we never place any confidence in them. They have been plotting mischief for many years, and now they are defeated, may we ever keep them in that humble situation; were they are rather objects of ridicule, than of resentment. Chron.

THE last Oracle contains ONE TRUTH! it asserts that the Republican Address, "circulated a few days before the election, has not deceived ten citizens." Do the Oracle editors imagine that the Republicans have condescended to debase themselves by adopting the vile arts practised by Federalists to deceive the Citizens of this State?—With plea- sure we inform them that not one ci- tizen has been 'DECEIVED'—on the contrary HUNDREDS are enlightened and now see exposed the artful, design- ing, slanderous and false writings of "IMPARTIALS."

It has been stated in several newspapers at a distance, that Messrs Chamberlain and Elliot are re-elected representatives to Congress from Vermont. We believe this error originated in the Boston Centinel, whose editor has been in the habit of announcing gentlemen as elected, before their votes were counted—particularly on the eve of an election in his own state. The gentlemen above named are not re-elected. There is no choice in their districts. (Observatory)
Whether Gen. Washington rode 8 miles to vote for a man, who voted for Mr. Adams, is very precarious; it depends on the assertion of men who are not always to be implicitly credited. One thing is certain, Gen. Washington, without riding 8 miles, elected Mr. Jefferson to the highest office in his gift, to be his bosom friend and confidential adviser, as secretary of state. ib.
