JUDGE BACON'S ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Fellow Citizens of the District of Berkshire, THE time is approaching when you will again be called to exercise one of the most important rights of Freemen, in choosing a person to represent you in the Congress of the United States.
Under a heart-felt sense of my obligations to you for the favorable opinion you have been pleased repeatedly to express of me by electing me to represent you in the Legislature of this Commonwealth, and of late, in the Congress of the United States, I can do no less on my part, than to express to you the grateful sense which I feel of these obligations.
Whatever errors I may have committed in the capacity of your Representative, I hope I can say with truth and sincerity, they have not been known and intentional.
An unhappy difference of opinion, with respect to public men and public measures, has prevailed, not only among us, but among our fellow citizens in all parts of the Union. This being the case, it was followed of course, that the same measures, which have met the highest approbation of some, have been equally reprobated by others. The part I have acted has at all times been open and undisguised. In this respect, I trust I have never disappointed or deceived you. To you I am particularly responsible. It is your incontrovertible right to scrutinize every part of my conduct, as your Representative, fully and fairly to investigate facts, and to censure or approve, as truth and justice may decide.
Some of the most prominent acts of Congress, at their last session, in which, on mature deliberation, I have taken a decided part, and such a part as I should still take if called to act again, are the repeal of the late Judiciary Law—a reduction of the Army and Navy—the abolition of the Internal Taxes—and, by such a diminution of public expenditures as, out of the remaining sources of revenue, by a permanent appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars, to provide for the discharge of the whole of the national debt, within the term of about sixteen years.
These with almost every other transaction of any considerable importance, at the last session of Congress, met with the most vehement opposition from the minority.
The principles which governed, the majority in Congress, and the lengthy debates which took place on these interesting subjects, have been published to the world, and I need not here attempt to repeat them.
With respect to the provision made for the discharge of the National Debt, I have observed a very fair and judicious statement of that transaction in the Sun, of the 2d of August last; which I perceive has, without my knowledge, been made from authentic documents with which each member of Congress is furnished, and which, it is presumed, he will be ready and willing to exhibit to any one who may wish to peruse them. And it is ardently to be wished that the Citizens of the United States in general, would take more pains than they have heretofore done, to obtain authentic information with respect to subjects of this kind. They would then be more capable of judging for themselves, and less liable to be imposed upon by the arts of designing and dishonest men.
Such is human nature that with motives equally pure, it might be admitted, men may differ in opinion with respect to measures highly interesting to themselves and others. Yet I have not been able, either on principles of honor on the one hand, or of prudence and good economy on the other, to account for the vehement opposition, that was made in Congress, to that part of the act last mentioned, which provides (in case it should be found necessary) for re-loaning a part, or the whole of the Dutch Debt, and for applying the whole amount of the sum thus reloaned towards the discharge of the Domestic Debt. Nor is it less difficult for me, on those laudable principles, to account for the unwearied pains, that have been since taken, to misrepresent that transaction and to render it unpopular, and the authors of it odious; as if all the provision, that has been made for the discharge of the national debt, was mere pretence, by re-loaning the same. Whereas, the fact is, that whether this reloan takes place or not, it will not affect the discharge of the whole of the National Debt, to the amount of a single cent. The sum of 7,300,000 dollars must, in either case, be annually applied for that purpose.
Had the appropriation for the discharge of this particular part of the national debt been made absolute, and no provision for a reloan, the whole sum, amounting to nearly ten millions of dollars, must at all events, have been paid as it became due, in one of two ways. Either first, by sending so much specie directly out of the country—this, by appreciating the money in the hands of those who hold it, would have given them an amazing and undue advantage, and at the same time equally depressed the great body of the people—Or, secondly, it must have been paid by purchasing remittances. This method would have put into the hands of the holders of those remittances an advantage exactly equal to that which the former method would have given to the money-holders. It was therefore to guard the great body of the people, through their government, against being made a prey to speculators, and at the same time to equalize the instalments, which, for the present and five succeeding years, va-
ry from 920,000 to 2,200,000 dollars, that this qualified provision for a reloan was made.
Whatever may have been the design of that opposition which was made in Congress to this qualified provision for a reloan of any part of the Dutch Debt, at the time of passing the act, or whatever motives may have induced those misrepresentations which were at that time, and which have been since made of this part of the act, such as have now been mentioned must have been the inevitable and pernicious effects of an absolute, unqualified appropriation of money for the discharge of that specific part of the National Debt.
In no capacity in which I have ever served my Constituents, have I been called to make any private or personal sacrifice.—Aside from the honor and heart-felt satisfaction of representing a free, generous and enlightened people, for whatever services I may have rendered them, I have received ample pecuniary compensation.
With affectionate respects for my Constituents, and grateful acknowledgments for the confidence they have heretofore reposed in me, I have now to request of them to excuse me from standing as a Candidate for the honourable and important office of Representative in Congress, at the ensuing election. I am not insensible that the present is a most interesting and important crisis with the Citizens of the United States, and that in a government like ours, no citizen can be justified in absolutely declining any services to which, by the public voice, he may be called, and which he is capable of rendering to his country: Yet, while I make this request, I am exceedingly happy in reflecting that there are within this District, a number of gentlemen to whose talents and integrity I hold in common with my fellow-citizens, under a government which we ourselves have adopted, and the principles of which I have reason to believe, are most faithfully adhered to by those to whom the administration has been committed. With sentiments of profound respect, I have the honor to subscribe myself, your ardent friend and fellow-citizen,
JOHN BACON.
The following is an extract from the publication in the Sun of August 2d, which is addressed to Mr. BACON'S address. We think it proper here to publish the following paragraphs, together with the 4th section of the Law making provision for the payment of the Public Debt, and with respect to which so much misapprehension has been excited in the minds of the public. Editor.
NATIONAL DEBT.
The Public Debt of the U. S. Dls. Cts.
January 1, 1790, was 69,740,366 27
In a period of ten years from that time, it had increased 9,462,264 88
So that Jan. 1, 1800, it was 79,202,631 15
The increase, altho' differing in different years, was at an average rate of nearly a million a year. During the year 1800, the Debt increased 958,576 45
So that Jan. 1, 1801, it was 80,161,207 60
The new administration commenced 4th March in that year, and before the close of that year, the Debt was diminished 2,279,317 31
Leaving due, Jan. 1, 1802, 77,881,890 29
Bearing interest at the rates of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 per cents, chiefly at 6 per cent. The greatest portion of this debt is domestic, that is payable in the United States; but 9,915,000 dols. of it is due to certain Dutch creditors, payable in Europe, in 8 unequal annual instalments, and carrying 4 3/4 per cent. interest. Formerly the greater part of our debt was foreign; but a part of it, payable in France has been extinguished, by re-loans upon condition of half a per cent. additional interest, in consideration of a change of the place of payment, from Europe to the Treasury of the United States. The Dutch creditors had the same offer, but declined it.
Congress during the last Session passed a Law entitled, "An Act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the Public Debt of the United States." The main provision of it is an appropriation of seven millions, three hundred thousand dollars annually to the payment of the interest and gradual extinguishment of the principle of the Debt. The annual application of that sum will, in eight years, discharge more than thirty-two millions, and in about fifteen years and a half, extinguish the whole Debt, principal and interest. This is one grand object of the present Republican system of administration.
The following is the Section of the Law above referred to.
SECT. 4. "And be it further enacted, That the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund be, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to borrow on the credit of the United States, either in America or abroad, by obtaining a prolongation of former loans, or otherwise, the sums requisite for the payment of the instalment, or parts of principal of the Dutch debt, which become due in the years one thousand eight hundred and three, one thousand eight hundred and four, one thousand eight hundred and five, and one thousand eight hundred and six; and that a sum equivalent to that to be thus borrowed, or re-loaned shall be laid out by the commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, to the purchase or redemption of such parts of the present Debt of the United States, and other demands against them, as the commissioners of the Sinking Fund may lawfully pay, agreeably to the provisions herein before made, and as the said commissioners shall in their judgement deem most expedient, so as to effect the payment annually of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars towards the final discharge of the whole debt, agreeable to such provision; provided that the United States shall have a right to reimburse any loan thus made within six years after the date of the same, and that the rate of interest thereupon shall not exceed five per cent per annum, nor the charges thereupon the rate of five per centum on the capital borrowed."
From the National Egis.
TO THE PEOPLE.
A apology may be due to the public for a second intrusion on their attention. It is not desirable to be engaged in a controversy with any person, on any subject, at any time; much less with anonymous writers, under circumstances of party irritation, and on a matter of personal concern. But a disclosure of truth is always desirable, ought never to offend, and when its effects are, justice to the injured, and useful information to the interested, it should be grateful, and will be so, to every fair mind. I should deem it improper to notice the many publications respecting the 1,000 dols. alleged to be paid by the treasury of the United States, for attorney's fees, in the shape of Clerk hire, were there not some (as incredible as the story is) respectable for their candor, who affect to believe it; and did I not feel it a duty, to rescue the innocent from the unmerited abuse they have been made to suffer on my account. If the abusive and scurrilous language, used in the attempt to impose this new clerk hire fabrication on the public, instead of the exploded one, was from a hope to prevent further communications, the hope was groundless. While the esteem & approbation of the virtuous and respectable, whatever may be their politics, will be valued and sought for, the censures of the violent and unprincipled, will be but little dreaded, and their aspersions, which are of course being lost on their object, will recoil on their authors.
It had been believed, after Messrs. Hastings & Prentice's publications, confessing the error, & stating the misrepresentations, that prejudice itself would have been convinced, & have been silent. Mr. Hastings, in his address to the public makes no pretensions of their being any, the least colour, in fact for the report he had confirmed, but says he was under a mistake, and states how he thinks it must have taken place—It has not been, nor is it my object to criminate, or to decide, on the motives or intentions of Mr. Hastings. But his officious friends, endeavouring to place his defence on better grounds than he placed it himself, have placed it on much worse, and have taken from him the only possible apology, which truth could countenance. Their shields annoy him more, than can the spears of his most zealous enemies—It is thus that detected falsehood, in struggling to emerge from one perplexity, plunges into a greater. The statement now made to criminate Government, and to justify Mr. Hastings's representation, is, that the Treasury, as extra fees, in the shape of Clerk-hire, on account of the absence of the Attorney Gen.—and for doing his duty, paid a thousand dollars to a Clerk, who was taken into the office for that purpose. This precise statement, being made with deliberation, after sufficient opportunity for knowing the truth, after a preceding statement had been refuted, this questioned, and its authors challenged for proof, excludes the supposition of any unintentional mistake, or of confounding the contents of documents, with private conversation on the floor of Congress; and, if false, must indelibly fix the charge of weakness or wickedness on its authors.
It is hoped, as the eye of the public has been repeatedly drawn to this subject, and its peculiar attention been invited, by the single and double indexes of newspaper editors, that the people are properly impressed, and willing further to attend, and, in the language of Detektor , "to see and, to mark how it turns out." No more of the readers attention and candor is asked for, than he owes to himself, to his friends, and common justice.

None is asked for on my own account none on the score of politics.
No observation will be made on the illiberality of the suggestions respecting a fraud, in giving to the records of the Register, a lying appearance. If such reflections are pleasing or useful, and accord with the feelings and patriotism of those who make them, of their party, or the interest and character of their cause, they shall not be disturbed in the enjoyment of them. The particulars of the charge are stated, and facts alone shall be attended to.
The repetition of Detective's story, by others, has designated the Clerk he referred to—This circumstance will give precision and additional weight to the statement about to be made. I hope the name of some other Clerk will not be selected in future, to answer the purpose better. This candid writer suggests that the letter sent by myself to the Secretary of the treasury, invited him to disguise and alter realities, so as to conform them to the appearances which were wanted, and that in pursuance of this abominable and daring attack, a fraud was committed by the Secretary, without the knowledge of the Register, for the purpose of altering the certificate which has been already communicated; and that the withholding this letter from the public, was to conceal this falsity. I repeat, no comments are to be made on the motive of such suggestions, or on the character of any person who is capable of believing, or stating them to the public.—Facts alone will employ our attention.
A Document, published by order of Congress, founded on a motion of Mr. Talmadge of Connecticut, a federal member, read in the house, and laid on the Clerks table, the 8th of April 1802, contains the particulars of Clerk hire, of every individual Clerk in all the offices, for 1799, 1800 and 1801. This was immediately printed, and every member of the Legislature received a copy of it for special use and information. I have one now before me, and it is presumed Mr. Hastings possesses his, and has had it by him ever since its publication. As this communication was called for by Congress, as necessary information, and for the members to action, if they thought proper, no one of them is to be supposed ignorant of its contents.
By the Register's letter which has been published, it appears, that my letter to the Secretary was dated June 26th, and by the document of Clerk-hire, which was also prepared and certified by Mr. Nourse, the same Register, it will appear, that six months before date of that letter, and it is believed before the fabrication of the story of the 1000 Dolls. there had been two quarterly settlements of Edward Nichols' Clerk-hire, the last ending Dec. 31st, 1801, and at the rate of 403 Dolls, 53 cents, for 5 months and 21 days; the first, if not both, certainly before the existence of the report, which occasioned the writing of the letter. How then could the letter or the report produce or affect settlements, which had been entered and registered in Mr. Nourse's office before they existed?—The fact is, when it was first reported that the treasury had paid the 1000 Dolls. Mr. Nichols had received only 403 Dolls. 53 Cts. at most: and his annual salary was 900, instead of a 1000 D. These however, are trifling circumstances, but they are on the face of the first page of the Document.
To give to this story the air of probability, many particulars have been stated, not one of which is true, excepting that there was, in the year 1801, in the treasury office, a clerk by the name of Nichols. It has been said that this Clerk entered the office as an attorney, on the recommendation of a member from Maryland, Mr. Nicholson. This is not only without a shadow of proof, but in a printed letter, pointedly denied, by Mr. Nicholson, or that he recommended him to any office or employment of any kind.—It is obvious to remark, that the actual views of the parties to this alleged practice are represented as a secret, known only to themselves; and that the transaction itself was apparently real, and yet, without any pretensions that these secret views were ever disclosed by one of the parties, they are perfectly known to every body. Thus stands the charge, without the shadow of a presumption, or a title of evidence to support it, as exhibited by those who urge it. Say reader if you believe it.
Compare, now, a true statement of facts, with the charge, and mark again; "how it turns out." It contains the Clerk-hire for three successive years—1799, 1800, & 1801. In the two first, Mr. Wolcott was Secretary; in the last Mr. Gallatin. No member who has been acquainted with the manner in which business was done in the last year, or with the state of the office, will pretend it was not as well done, as in either of the preceding years, nor will they say there was less done. Never were more documents prepared and communicated
to Congress; perhaps not half so many. It appears by the same document, that the aggregate amount of Clerk-hire, in point of time, in 1799, was 6 years 2 months and 3 days—in 1800 6 yrs. and 9d, and in 1801 but 5 yrs. 7 months 2 days; from which 5 months & 21 days, the whole of Mr. Nichols' time, ought to be deducted, for a reason which will presently appear. The aggregate of time in 1801, will then stand 5 years 1 month and 12 days.
The amount of the monies appropriated and paid for the Clerk-hire appears by the same Document to be in 1799 as follows; viz. appropriated dolls. 5,700, expended dolls. 5,732 64—which is 32 dolls. and 64 cts. more than the appropriation.—In 1800, appropriated dolls. 5,839 81, expended dolls. 6,006 82; being, dolls. 166 91; beyond the appropriation. In 1801, the same permanent appropriation was made, with 15 per cent. in addition, and expended only dolls. 5,543—80,296, dolls. short of the permanent, and dolls. 1,171 short of the actual appropriation, considering a rateable proportion of the fifteen per cent. as a part of it. The whole amount of the fifteen per cent. for the treasury Department, which the Secretary was ordered to distribute as he thought proper, amounting to 6393 dolls. a rateable proportion to Mr. Gallatin's office being 876 dolls.
It appears from the same Document that Robert J. Heath, was a clerk in the office for the two first, and for 10 months & 5 days of the last year, at a salary of 900 dolls per year, and that Nichols was for five months and 21 days, at the same rate of salary, and that some of the old Clerks had their salaries raised by Mr. Gallatin.
There remain to be added as facts—That Mr. Heath, whose name has been mentioned, had, principally under his care, that branch of business which relates to the remission of fines and forfeitures, with perhaps some transcribing. At the time Mr. Nichols was taken into the office, Heath was sick, languishing, and unable to do business. Nichols succeeded to his place, was employed principally in the business of the remission of fines and forfeitures, and perhaps some transcribing, and at the same salary that Heath had, and had had for the two preceding years. Heath, notwithstanding he was incapacitated to do business, having been an old, faithful and useful officer, and having a family, from humanity, was continued in office, and received his salary to the day of his death. Part of these facts will appear from the records in the office; the residue from the testimony of a hundred witnesses, from the doctors, nurses, and the grave.
The result is, that there was at least as much business done, and as well done by Mr. Gallatin, in 1801, as by his predecessor, in either of the preceding years. That the aggregate of time expended, excluding the sick clerk a year, and including him half a year, was less than in the preceding years; That less money was expended for the hire of clerks, with an increase of salaries to some, and a diminution to none, than in either of the preceding years. That in 1800, the clerk hire exceeded the appropriation, and in 1801 fell short of the same appropriation, in a saving of 296 dolls; and including the proportion of the 15 per cent. (of which not a cent was expended in his own office) 1171 dollars less than what was allowed, and appropriated by the government, in the old Administration, and 466 dollars less than had been expended the preceding year. Such have been the arrangements, affluence, fidelity and saving of Mr. Gallatin, in his office, in addition to the charities of the treasury, afforded to a dying clerk. This is the extra expense to which the Government has been subjected, by the unfaithfulness of its Secretary and the absence of the Attorney. If any doubt the correctness of the documentary parts of this statement, they may satisfy themselves, by inspecting the document itself at the Legis office, where it will be deposited; or, it is presumed, by applying to Mr. Hastings, or any Federal Representative, or Senator in the U. S. I do not know that this will be satisfactory. My endeavour has been to state facts. It is difficult to remove prejudices. Misrepresentation and slander will continue. If particular instances are destroyed, they will assume new shapes, or, like the heads of the hydra, one monster more will spring up in their stead.
One word more, and I have done, Mr. Hastings asks, if I have never, under mistake, reported, with innocent intentions, what turned out erroneous. The answer is yes; and, in turn, will Mr. Hastings permit me to ask him, whether a groundless report, injurious to the Government, the Secretary of the treasury and myself, which he had confirmed, having been refuted in one shape, and revived in another, and he in the possession of conclusive evidence to detect the injurious alibi, and to prove it more than false, instead of documents to confirm it, would it not have been generous and candor if not justice and duty, to have interpolated, and arrested the effects of misrepresentation and false error?
L. LINCOLN. Worcester, Oct. 21.
[CALLENDER, in his Philippics against the President , has told the world that Mr. JEFFERSON, "like DEAN SWIFT, thinks a strolling a serious thing ." He has charged him with extreme parsimony, and has said that he never gives, from motives of charity, or without some expectation of benefit to himself. The general tenor of Mr. JEFFERSON's life has given the lie to the ungrateful miscreant. It is perhaps unnecessary to select particular instances of his munificence. Of charity misapplied, the case of CALLENDER is striking and exemplary.
Of the charity, "Which is twice blest'd,"
Which blesses him that gives, and him that takes," the following letter from "a war worn veteran" who had felt the griping hand of poverty, exhibits an interesting and honorable proof.]
From the EXAMINER. To J. T. CALLENDER.
IN the American Revolutionary War, I fought for my Country—I had her approbation; I was honored with her confidence in the public councils.
The wheel of Fortune became adverse, and my decrepitude from the palsy constrained me to ask for a subsistence. The Cincinnati, among whom were Generals Marshall and Wood, Colonels Carrington, Heth, and Bentley, respectable characters, readily contributed, & have given me subsistence for life—Several of the gentlemen differ from me in politics; but does that authorize me to abuse them? Does that circumstance lessen their talents or their virtues? No—Early last year, I informed Mr. Thomas Jefferson that I was in want; he immediately requested Mr. George Jefferson of this city to pay me fifty Dollars; which was done.
I wrote to Mr. Jefferson the President, that I wished to return, last spring, to Kentucky, and requested some little aid to support me on my journey; he generously sent me thirty dollars more. I have heard that you, like myself, are poor, that you have children in Philadelphia that were in want, that in your distress, having mentioned your suffering in the cause of Liberty, that good man the President, whom I have known thirty years, whose character as a man of benevolence, talents and virtue dignify the human heart, sent you at different times to the amount of one hundred dollars. For his Charity, you have repaid him with the vilest abuse.
Such base ingratitude, must, on serious reflection, sing your conscience to the quick—You boast that your writings turned Mr. Adams out of office, and placed Mr. Jefferson in the Presidential Chair—Matchless vanity!
No, Mr. Callender, you are much mistaken; the sedition law, and the improper and rigorous conduct of Judge Chase, did more injury to the Federalists, than the writings of a thousand Callenders—You, Mr. Callender, have no more weight with the Independent Republicans, than the fly on the wheel of a coach contributes to its motion.
You have made a wrong estimate of your talents, and your consequence; you are of importance to neither party, Republican or Federal. The Republicans supported you, because they thought you the victim of persecution, and the martyr of liberty. By your base abandonment of principle, you have drawn on yourself eternal infamy and disgrace, and this without securing the confidence or esteem of the Federalists.
They consider you as a second Judas; you have sold your principles for gold, and while they applaud the treason, they must abhor the traitor.
Know also, Sir, that there are very many gentlemen, who reside in this city, as well as many others who dwell at a distance from it, who, have been as benevolent to me, and shall have my grateful and respectful thanks during my existence.
ROBERT LAWSON. Richmond, October 16, 1802.
HOME MADE. Good News for Federal Barbers!
Since the People of Delaware have positively determined that Mr. Bayard, (the champion of federalism) shall retire to his "post of honor," a private station—much against his will—the faces of the Tories, ("Federal Republicans") have grown to such an enormous length, that the price of shaving is to be raised accordingly. N. B. In New-Hampshire, the countenance of the "Seth" have greatly fallen—the shavers of the "well-born" are to have double price in Portsmouth and Boston on the 4th of March next, when all the Tories "more or less" are to have their heads shaved, and put on sack cloth, and go into mourning for forty days—because their brethren of Delaware must "bite the dust."
Mr. Bayard, it is expected, will enter his " Solemn Protest " against the act of the Citizens of Delaware which excludes him from the House of Representatives after the 4th of March—as his father in-law Judge Basset did against the act of Congress which declared his judgeship unnecessary—And, as one good turn deserves another, Mr. Bayard having written his Papa's Protest , his Papa Basset is to do his—to as to keep the fees all in the family—Mr. Bayard being too much "agitated" to write his own.
All the Tories, "British agents, apophrate whigs and federal republicans" on the continent are to sign Mr. Bayard's protest, and Callender is to counter-sign it, and put a copy at the "bottom of his chest," to put in his Recorder when he has done with his wench Solly.
Nothing more plainly demonstrates the principles and form of government most congenial to the Tories, than their hatred of the Irish. Thus a man who resided the oppression of the British in Ireland is called exactly by the same names, that the English called Samuel Adams and Henry Laurence, and George Washington, and John Hancock, in 1776—they were all traitors, scapegoats, rebels to their king and country.
For the N. H. GAZETTE.
To THEOPHILUS PARSONS, Esq.
THE curiosity of the public, of the profession particularly, has been prodigiously excited by finding in the public prints that you had framed a plea, that in effect would take away the jurisdiction of the District Court, lately sitting in Boston—and Lawyers are endeavoring from professional zeal, and for private gratification, on a point so novel and important, to account for an extraordinary plea that is to annihilate a court of ordinary jurisdiction, by an anomalous proceeding, to be met with in no history of proceedings of courts, no judicial tract, entry, report or book extant in the whole corpus jurisdiction. One is at a loss to hazard even a conjecture about the form of plea in its form or in substance—if in substance, whether it is a plea founded with proper averments on the unconstitutionality of the legislative act first erecting the court and then re-establishing the same court that had been annihilated for the sake of the concession only, or modified and altered by another legislative act; or does the plea in terms by avowment go to sustain the point that the court has no jurisdiction, and if so, what becomes of the form of the plea? Which is the point that creates all the embarrassment; if the court have no jurisdiction a demurrer seems to be the form of plea, and perhaps that is the plea—or a claim of cognizance: if demurred in substance generally, how could that avail, for there is nothing that can appear upon the face of the record or proceedings filed; if the proceedings be in paper to oust the court of its jurisdiction—There is a late case, however, and the only one that ever will again arise in England, under their present Constitution, and that came out of the intemperance of the advocate, as I fear this plea came out of the intemperance of party. I have too much respect for you personally to say your intemperance. This case is where the pleader (in the book of decided authority, Tidd's practice) demurred to a declaration in debt, and was very confident in supporting his demurrer, which in effect would have destroyed the jurisdiction of the court; and he had a solid ground of demurrer, for it is this moment a legal doubt if the Court of King's Bench have jurisdiction in the action of debt, which may be found in the same book by that same accurate author, who gives the bell history of the practice; and the reason is that originally that court had jurisdiction over trespass only, in process of time, Trespases on the case—and now in debt, by analogy to the contract; the common fiction, and since by the usage or custom, so far appear upon the face of the record, the action being debt; what was the consequence of this temerity? Not simply judgment for the plaintiff. But the court said the next person who would venture to demur to a declaration in debt, they would enquire who signed the plea, not who drew it—but would dare to argue it, that is the gentleman who signs it. And one may readily contemplate the consequence of contumacy in a court representing the Monarch. The alternative plea is the claim of cognizance, by another court, that must altogether fail, for besides that that plea is local, and an exclusive jurisdiction claimed by ancient grant of privileges and immunities conferred as on the Universities in England. What right, what dispensation or exclusive jurisdiction can be claimed or asserted by the late Judges? They are not even the same; some, are not Judges of the same court, they are not ad idem, one is now a Judge of another court in this State—This is therefore fairly presumed not to be the form of plea, and given up; the public print does not ascertain whether the plea was made or only said to be made, or that it would be made, or whether a plea was filed. I consider as no plea could have been made by a gentleman of your professional talents; none such in fact ever was made—And the public and profession may abate of their curiosity and save all their trouble.
To advert then to the constitutional point and take it to be the substance of the plea under the ability of your hands in making such averments as strike at the foundation of the jurisdiction of the court. I profess I am not able to feel the ground. When the bill passed to repeal the late Judiciary Bill, I was interested with others to run over the arguments as they came out in the various newspapers; as the violence of those who opposed it increased, with others I was more particularly led to read Mr. GILES's and Mr. BAYARD's speeches in a pamphlet, and to look at that clause or article in the Constitution, and my first impression which is sometimes best, that has remained unaltered by any argument I have yet seen or heard, was that the legislature had the power in their discretion to erect subordinate courts, altho' of co-ordinate jurisdiction. I mean by making such courts ancillary to the supreme courts, when necessary, and of repealing their own bill when necessary. And the legislature in their wisdom have found, and late experience seems to verify that the additional new Judges were unnecessary.
I laid all the first upon the criticism and construction of language afforded upon the oscillation of the words "shall or may," which seem to have given that motion to the debaters. I was not quite satisfied with any one speaker on the potency of these auxiliaries, by the defenders of the Constitution, and thought with the memorable Poet, "Non tali auxilio nec defensoribus istis, Tempus eget." What is the found, fair, good sense and import of the words without expounding one's brains upon the discrimination of their relative powers like the EPRAXIOENTIA of the Greeks. What is the wisdom of the provision?—Surely that the legislature should have that discretionary power; and if such a provision had been omitted, the Constitution would have, in my opinion, been so far faulty. The particular tendency of Mr. GILES's speech was to show that some had a predilection for a monarchy, some for infusing stronger energies into this republican government, than the nature of the government will admit of; and others thought as he did, that the means employed by the late administration, that would conduce to those ends, were pregnant with danger to the Republic of the United States; and among the most dangerous of those measures, was the creating sixteen unnecessary new Judges—his argument seemed to
be well distributed, and he took the open, bold, and manly ground at once; that called for Mr. BAYARD's reply, who, it seems, took notes, and after well ruminating over those notes, the next day sprung on his long declamatory and vehement periods: his reply shows him to be a gentleman of considerable powers, his talents are every way respectable. I have given my reasons for not being satisfied with his argument, and only wonder he had not been called to order—his words taken down, and be committed to the hands of the officers of the House, for I think you will agree with me, that his speech was the result of sedition and alarm, in any well regulated state. Sir, I think it due to the community, that they should be satisfied their Judges have jurisdiction over them, for the safety and peace of society—and that they should distinctly know that there can be no plea that can take away that jurisdiction. I may be wrong in my law and conclusions, and I think it also due to your professional abilities, without presuming to overate or underate them, to declare that I was staggered and astonished at such a plea. I am open to conviction, and indeed every way solicitous to be convinced; and shall as publicly and readily concede my opinion, as I have taken the freedom to express it. I do not think the foundations of that opinion can be suddenly removed, and shall be only sorry that the public should be deluded, even by attempts to shake their confidence in their Judges.

LOUISVILLE, SEPT. 30. WE are informed, that the treaty with the Indians is concluded; and that Governor HARRISON has succeeded in purchasing a large quantity of valuable lands—also four miles square to include the Saline Licks.

Basseterre, Sept. 26. 1802. I have the honor to inform you, Citizen Commissary, that by a decision just taken by citizen Lescallier, counsellor of state, colonial prefect of Guadalupe, all the ports of this colony shall in future be open, as formerly, to the American vessels, and the exportation of colonial produce permitted on paying duties.
(Signed) LACROSSE. The information received by Mr. Pichon, states the Colony to be in want of provisions, and especially salt beef and pork.—Permission had been given to people of colour to return to Guadalupe.
Le Chevalier de FREYRE, who was an official character to this country, is we learn, nominated by the Portuguese Court, Minister to the Court of First Consul Bonaparte, for the purpose of explaining and adjusting the difference which occasioned the abrupt departure of the French Minister from Lisbon.
BOSTON, NOV. 8. In addition to the Republican triumph in Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, Middlesex, and Bristol, we have to announce to our readers, and friends every where, the pleasing intelligence of the re-election of RICHARD CUTTS in York District, by a large majority.
We hope to be able in our next to add Berkshire, Barnstable, and Kennebec—Should we be disappointed in our expectation to this effect, we still think Massachusetts deserves well of Republicanism.
The Essex Juntas are in a horrible predicament. It must touch the feelings of the most hard hearted, to see them in their agony. They rave, stamp and swear, that all is lost. O wretched faction, recollect but a short time ago, you were threatening destruction to all that did not run in your "filthy stream." Your arts fail of their former success. The people begin to see through your true character, and you may exclaim with the lunatic—"I have run my rig."
The General Assembly of the State met in this town last week, and made choice of CONSTANT TABER, Esq. Speaker and JOHN L. BOSS, jun. Clerk of the House. Much time of the House was taken up in trying contested elections.
The Assembly voted a 20,000 dollar tax to be assessed on or before the 15th of December next. They made choice of JASON NEWELL, Esq. of Cumberland, as 4th Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Providence County, vice ARNOLD PAINE, Esq. deceased. The Hon. SAMUEL J. POTTER, Esq. the present Lieutenant Governor, a firm Republican, was chosen without opposition a Senator from this State in the Congress of the United States after the 4th of March next, vice the Hon. THEODORE FOSTER, who declined a nomination.
During the Session of the General Assembly a Committee was appointed to count the votes for Representatives to the 8th Congress. They reported the number to be for
STANTON, 2604 KNIGHT, 2598 POTTER, 1033 TILLINGHAST, 1636
Consequently Gen. JOSEPH STANTON was elected by a majority of 971 votes, and NEHEMIAH KNIGHT, Esq. by a majority of 66. Thus Republicanism has triumphed by 971 majority.
Providence Phoenix. Republican triumph.
We are authorized to state from authentic information, just received from the Legislature of this State, that the Hon. ISRAEL SMITH, Esq. one of our present Representatives in Congress, is elected a Senator, by said Legislature, to fill the place of Nathaniel Chipman, Esq. whose seat in the Senate of the United States becomes vacant in March next, by a majority of twenty six votes. Thus we see true genuine Republicanism triumph over Federal delusion, Aristocracy, and Toryism.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
BY THE Two Puffs, from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 17th September; some few days later than before received.
At Liverpool, (England) about the middle of Sept. a fire broke out, which was the most extensive in its devastation ever experienced in that city; and the greatest that has happened in the British dominions since that of London in 1666. The whole number of warehouses destroyed was thirty, from 6 to 13 stories high; and the loss is estimated at 1,300,000. ster. l.
The report of the death of Gen. LA FAYETTE, we are happy to find, is contradicted.
On the 14th August a very severe shock of an Earthquake was experienced at Cumana and along the Spanish Main to Barcelona, La Guira and the city of Caraccas—most of the houses were shook down and a number of the inhabitants killed. The damage was estimated at 300,000 dolls.
Fresh Triumphs, in Massachusetts.
LIBERTY AND REPUBLICANISM. The Handmaids of Political Happiness. MORE & MORE TRIUMPHANT. We confidently promised our readers the recent triumph in Suffolk, Norfolk & the several districts westward of us; we can now as safely announce the success of Republicanism in the York District, to the eastward—there is no doubt but Mr. CUTTS is re-elected by a great majority.
In the Suffolk and Essex South Districts two of the most leading federalists in the Union, were opposed to Republican virtue. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, son of the late President, in his own district, and TIMOTHY PICKERING, who had moved into the district to be elected, till removed by the choice of the worthy JACOB CROWNSHIELD, Esq. of Salem. And all the power and struggle of federalism in the Union combined, could not remove that respectable Republican, Dr. WILLIAM EUSTIS. The victory is complete. We can congratulate our readers of its increasing and extensive effects, and shall take all pains to get that authentic report upon which the public may always rely, and shall not be deceived.
The Sun of Federalism setting in Massachusetts.
Extract of a letter from a distinguished federalist in Salem, to a gentleman in this vicinity.
"The papers will inform you, that with the federalists all is lost in this district. Such a revolution of sentiment in so short a period I never suspected. Men whom we heretofore relied on for support, now appeared openly against us, and boldly espoused the Republican cause. To what we are to ascribe this almost miraculous change we know not. Many impute it to the intemperate abuse of the President in the federal papers. Indeed I always thought such gross calumnies would not be swallowed by the people, and that when the imposition was detected, the effects would be directly opposite to what were intended."
"That drunken monster, Callender, has injured the federal cause more than all the writings of the jacobins. He has produced the same catastrophe that the writings of Porcupine did; and the federalists may now encourage him—Yet I believe in the end they will find, that he like Porcupine, is employed by some foreign power to disaffect the people to the government, and to kindle among the peaceable inhabitants the flames of civil war. If that wretch continues his publications, the federal cause will be ruined forever. As the grossness of his abuse carries with it its own refutation, the people will be led to believe that all else that is published against the government is equally calumnious and false; and being ever inclined to espouse the cause of those they think injured, they will rally round the government, and support the very men we have been endeavoring to pull down. The event of the election in Boston district is equally disastrous, the Republicans carried all before them; I dread to hear from other districts, for I fear we shall have cause to say, from this day, that the fun of federalism has set in Massachusetts; for tho' not all federalists, I fear the great body of the "fwinish multitude," will soon be all Republicans."
We hear from Cambridge, that in the course of last week, some young Federalists belonging to the University of that place, entered the Chapel in the night, and with federal fury attacked the pulpit, the Tutors seats, &c. and laid the whole in one mass of ruin. What less can be expected, where opposition to Government is the basis of academic education, and the unvarying theme of didactic exhibitions—with them, the Altar is only sacred when used as the rampart of party violence, and as a fortress to awe the multitude into blind submission to the political heresies, which, with unhallowed mouths, are too often delivered from the sacred desk in the name of the Most High. But the delusion is wearing away, political Priest-craft is losing its charms, and those, who are fitted ministers of the Gospel, will soon find more their interest to preach the mild doctrines of Christianity, than to propagate the principles of civil discord and political intolerance among their flocks. The voice of the People will in time be respected, and political Teachers, who preach Politics instead of the Gospel, will then see to their sorrow, that they have been "sacrificing to their own net, and burning incense to their own drag."
TO CORRESPONDENTS. The meritorious production of "SUSPECTATOR" is unavoidably postponed till next week. "RURAL LOITERER No. 5," is received and other favoursome writings, which merit our highest encomiums.
THAT Pennsylvania, the 6th State in the Union, should be so democratic as to return every one of her eighteen members to Congress Republicans, and not suffer one of the tory set to be elected, is such an evidence of "THE PEOPLE being their own worst enemies," that we need not be surprised at the solicitude displayed by the federal editors to conceal this alarming intelligence !
In Maryland legislature the Republicans have a majority of fourteen.
In New-Jersey, the Republicans have a majority in council, and the Federalists in the lower house; making a balance in joint meeting.
The Hon. ISRAEL SMITH, an upright Republican, is elected a Senator of the U. S. for Vermont.
The Hon. JAMES HILLHOUSE, is re-elected a Senator of the U. S. for the State of Connecticut.
The revival of Republican principles in New-Hampshire, is perhaps more gradual than in any of the sister States—yet its march tho' slow is sure, and will eventually place her on the glorious ground she held among the States in 1776; New-Hampshire was the last State that acceded to the declaration of Independence; being removed from the centre of intelligence, her information was of course later. But when she had once adopted the principle of Independence, the whole Union will witness with what firmness and ardor she maintained it; and the now her retreat from the delusions of Federalism appears tardy, yet when thoroughly escaped from the snares of the federal tories, she will maintain and vindicate her former principles with all her ancient spirit. As an evidence of her return to found principles, it may be remembered, that in the Election of 1801, the present Governor had some thousand of spare votes, but at the Election of 1802, less than 800 votes deducted from his whole number, would have removed him from the chair, and it may reasonably be expected that in the ensuing Election, his competitor will be able to spare his present Excellency more than that number of votes, and yet be feared in the Governmental Chair by the suffrages of the People.

Bill of Mortality.
DIED. At Exeter, on the 3d inst. after a short but distressing illness, Mrs. ANN BOARDMAN, wife of Col. Benjamin Boardman, aged 62 years.—In the death of this excellent woman her family and friends sustain the heaviest loss; she was an affectionate wife, a kind mother, a tender and benevolent friend. The fortitude and composure of mind, with which she met the summons of the king of terrors, is consistent with the consciousness of a virtuous life—and evinces her confidence in the religion which she professed. At Newbury-Port, of a consumption, the Rev. Mr. BODDILY, Pastor of a Church in that place.
At Lee, Capt. WILLIAM PARKER, son of Capt. Robert Parker; Deft. WIGGLESWORTH; and Mr. JOHN FOLSOM, son of Col. Folsom, of New Market.
In this town, Mr. THOMAS SMES, aged 42; a worthy, respectable, and useful citizen; Deacon SAMUEL BOWLES, aged 63, a valuable member of society; Mrs. MARY CARTER, wife of Mr. Dennis Carter; also, a child of Mr. Isaac Waldrone, jr.; a child of Mr. Thomas Moulton; a child of Mr. Samuel Abbot; and a child of the widow Parker.
Subscriptions are received at this office, for The National Intelligencer, AN excellent official Paper, edited by SAMUEL H. SMITH, Esq. published three times a week, in the City of Washington. We hope the Patriots of New-Hampshire will evince their Patriotism, by sending in their names, accompanied with a five dollar bill to each signature, to encourage a work of such merit as the above.

POSTSCRIPT.
Last evening we were favored with a New-York paper of Wednesday last, which contains the following melancholy article: "Last evening one of the most alarming Fires that has ever happened in this city, broke out in a stable in Bride-street, between Whitehall and Broad-streets. The wind blowing fresh from S. W. the flames made their way through Bridge-street into Stone-street, with uncontrollable fury; and in less than one hour and a half, the whole square, consisting of about FIFTY buildings, mostly dwelling-houses, were either burnt, pulled down or gutted. We are unable to state the origin or extent of the calamity; among the sufferers, are Mr. A. Carol, Col. Boyd, Mr. Peter Meier, Mr. James Cheatham, Mr. R. Suydam, Mr. Cammer, &c."

THE FROSTY MORN.
THE freezing gale that nipt the tree, Now links to loveliest harmony; 'Tis just expiring voice I hear, That strikes to mournful on the ear. The glorious morning sun appears, And o'er the whiten'd valley beams; He breaks the frosty chains of night, And gilds the world with heavenly light. Thus live the righteous here below, And tread the paths of frosty woe; Until the blest Son above, Lights them to worlds of endless love.

A NEW FEDERAL SONG—By a young Midshipman of the "Ark." TUNE—Yankee Doodle, Maggy Lauder, Wilkes, Wriggle, or the Vicar of Bray. IN concert let each heart and tongue, By Federal rage inspir'd; Join in a pious, loyal song, In praise of Mr. BAYARD.
Come let us raise our voices high, Apolline whigs and Tories; Till the wide concave of the sky, Reounds the Federal chorus. His "well earn'd honest fame" we'll sing, And piety resplendent— His predilection for a king, And talents most transcendant!" Come let us, &c.
The brave defender of the church— The friend of true religion! Who never left her in the church, To her opponents flyin'. Come let us, &c.
But guards her from the deist base, Who on her neck would trample, And sinners leads in paths of grace, By his own bright example! Come let us, &c.
Who all her principles regards, From Monday morn 'till Monday; And never takes a game at cards, Not e'en upon a Sunday!!! Come let us, &c.
And while in Congress hall he prays, Against the Demo faction; Religion plays, in dazzling rays, Around his every action. Come let us, &c.
Now to the captain of the "Ark," And all her gallant crew fir, Who have, or with him may embark, We render homage due fir. Come let us, &c.
Then loud huzzas for captain Black, A son of mother Britain, Who on his larboard, starboard tack, The democrats has smitten. Come let us, &c.
* A newspaper, entitled "The Federal Ark," edited by a Mr. BLACK, an Englishman, and an Alien, has been recently established at Dover, in Delaware, under the patronage of Messrs. Bayard, and Co.
THE PROGRESS OF FEDERALISM.
TUNE—The leaves so green O.
WHEN to Congress I was sent Delaware to represent, Tout ensemble,—debonair, How I make the folks to stare; Told each loggerheaded wight I could turn the day to night, If they'd join in my farcical scene O,
Lie and swear All was fair, Mind myself, Get the pelf; Heigh down, ho down, derry, derry down, If they'd join in my farcical scene O.
When serv'd up in fed'ral dishes, Were the precious loaves and fishes; Snatch'd a few for father Bass—* Then a Justice—next, an As: Some four hundred pounds, or more, That was gleaned from the poor; All to keep up the farcical, scene O.
Fire and Thunder! War and Plunder! Stamps and Stills Pay the Bills.
Heigh down, &c. When a judge my daddy grown, Higher still he rais'd his tone; On the bench demurely fir; Shew'd his learning and his wit; Merciless to all their crimes, Not remembering old times When he join'd in each farcical scene, O.
"Silence there!" Lawyers flare!!! "Clerk—the docket!" "Curse the blockhead!"
Heigh down, &c. Times are alter'd now I wot, Daddy's fishes gone to pot; Democrats begin to find "After cat is after kind" And that turn about is meet When I must resign my seat, It will finish the farcical scene O.
Toll the bell, Fare you well, Without doubt I'll be out. Heigh down, &c.
* Judge Bassett.
INTERESTING TO TOPERS.
AS a consolation to topers, we state the following fact:—A farmer of the department of Morbihan in France, died a few days ago, at the very advanced age of 64—He boasted, some days before his death of having, in the course of his life drunk 1300 barrels of eyder, 960 hogheads of wine, and 60 pipes of brandy, real Nantz. He was married three times; had several children by each of his wives; and the day previous to his death, he was at the wedding of the granddaughter of one of the girls he had by his first wife—Lon. pap.
Mr. George Mansell of Lexington Kentucky, has lately invented a machine for breaking and cleaning hemp, or flax, which will, from the lowest calculation, break and clean 8000 pounds of hemp in one day.
