LATE OMISSIONS.
There is nothing which more unequivocally tends to prove the wisdom of the embargo than the almost universal approbation of all our great revolutionary characters. We find it supported by a Langdon, an Adams, a Gerry, a Thompson, a Jefferson, a Page, a Pinckney, and a host of other men whose patriotism in the worst of times was most signally exerted for the salvation of their country. We have looked over the names of the illustrious band of patriots who signed the declaration of independence, and among those who survive, we do not find the name of a single individual who has avowed his disapprobation of this measure, whilst we find the names of several of the most distinguished on the list who have come forward with a decided avowal of its propriety. What can more clearly shew the similitude between our revolutionary contest and our present differences with foreign powers? Have we then so degenerated from the high minded spirit and stern virtue of our forefathers as to think of submitting in the comparative greatness of our power, when they, in our infancy, disdained the degradation?
This strong fact ought to have great weight with the part of the community that trusts to the authority of great names. If we take the opinions of any men for our guide, who are entitled to equal confidence with those illustrious characters who risked their lives and property in the most awful and unequal conflict that could have been waged by freemen against tyrants? Who dares to claim for themselves higher measures of wisdom? If then they are among the most virtuous and witt of our fellow-citizens, let us now follow the light they set before us, as we have most honorably and profitably followed it in the darkest times this country ever saw.—Let us rest satisfied that the same councils which extricated from danger and crowned us with honor, will, if supported by the virtue and gratitude of the people, again lead to the same results. [Nat. Intelligencer.]
The three most glorious things of which our country can boast, claim Washington, Jefferson, and Madison for their authors:
Washington fought and conquered for Liberty:
Jefferson composed the Declaration of Independence, and confirmed its principles by his administration—
Madison originated the present admirable Constitution of the United States, and has vigorously supported it against its foes! [Monitor.]
The Boston Centinel advocates a separation of the union in the following strain: Our readers will pause and reflect on the atrocity of the proposition.
“NEW ENGLAND is approaching an awful crisis. But her prosperity may yet be retrieved. Her destiny is still within her own control.”—And her hardy sons must now decide whether she shall remain humble, prostrate; debased at the feet of the haughty mistress of the Union; or whether she shall at last assert her violated rights, and vindicate her insulted honor. This appeal is made to men of all parties. The time has arrived, when every man who values the Commercial prosperity of the northern States, the source of our wealth and strength of our domestic enjoyments, and our political importance, may and ought to join in protecting that Commerce from the unjust, tyrannical, and unconstitutional oppressions of Virginia. All minor political controversies, all inferior party distinctions are absorbed in this great national question between Virginia and the Northern States.”
Our worthy and patriotic fathers, when contending for their rights and for our happiness, placed their whole interests and their lives at stake—they repaired to the altar of liberty, and swore to perish rather than live slaves. But how have we fallen off!—how have the children of those men, who bared their bosoms for the salvation of their country—defected the principles which they supported. Look round, a few of those men are still living, and yet many of their children are endeavoring to destroy the independence which they have secured to us. Good God! it is possible, that two and thirty years should obliterate from our remembrance, the hardships and privations of our fathers? Is it possible that an American could wish to sacrifice the blessings of freedom and independence, which the best blood of our country was required to obtain? It is, unfortunately true—it is beyond a doubt that there are men, who are using their every endeavour to divide the Union, and reduce us to depend on the will of a power, black with crimes and enormities, which would rouse the feelings of humanity to resist. FELLOW-CITIZENS.
Need you have any further proof of the designs of the party, who presumptuously dare to take the name of federalists, than by reading the papers devoted to the dissemination of their principles—docs not almost
every number breathe hostility to our republican government, and favour and affection to Great Britain? Of this there can be no dispute—federalism is fallacious—the term is merely used for decoying inconsiderate men into support of its detested and anti-republican principles. Can federalists be considered patriotic, who would advocate the murder of our citizens in our own waters, and the infringement of our neutrality? Can men be considered the friends to our country, who publicly say that a division of the Union ought, and must take place? Who are continually inviting aggressions upon your rights, and advocating submission on our part to the orders of Great Britain, in order to force us into an alliance with that power? No! No! [Statesman.]
The perseverance of federal prints, in spite of the testimony for the public in misrepresenting the conduct of the Executive, in the case of the TWO MILLIONS of dollars subjected to its application by Congress in their session of 1805—6, is among the most wilful and most wicked of the calumnies which have distinguished those factions and malignant vehicles. Our enquiries into the subject authorise us to pledge ourselves for the truth of the following facts:—
First, that not a cent of the money in question was ever paid or applied, or authorised to be paid or applied, to the French government, directly or indirectly, towards the acquisition of the Floridas, or for any other purpose whatsoever.
Secondly, that the application was never authorised by the Executive except directly to the Spanish government; and for the sole and exclusive purpose of acquiring for a valuable consideration territory held by Spain on the southern boundary of the U. States.
Thirdly, that not a cent of the said two millions has ever been actually applied or expended for any purpose whatever, but remains as certified by the Register of the Treasury, entire in the treasury of the U. States. [Intel.]
Six Millions of American Blankets.
A fair and careful experiment of the manufacture of the Cotton blanket for the use of the Hospitals has been recently made under a contract with the Purveyor's office. The class of blankets attempted by the office is that denominated “three point twilled.” They were ordered to be made of the weight of 56 ounces each, or 3 pounds and one half. They have a broad blue stripe at each end with the three blue points, and measure 6 feet in length (or 40 yards for a piece of 20 blankets) and 4 feet and one half in breadth. The contract price is two dollars and one quarter for each blanket, of the above dimensions and weight, which will be found greater than the medium quality of the British three point twilled woollen blanket.
The cotton yarn is spun at the Factory of Mr. Joseph Garlick, and the weaving is executed in the Factory of Mr. M c Ginnis. It is ascertained, that the shortest upland cotton will make the best blanket, as the fibres are more easily raised, without breaking, into a regular and tick coat of pile by the cards, which are applied for that purpose, as the last operation in the manufacture. The blankets prove to be handsome, firm and excellent goods, meriting frank acceptance by the office and decided approbation.
Seven millions and one half of persons in the United States, at 6 on a medium in each house, give at the allowance of only 5 blankets to a family, the immense number of 6,250,000 blankets in present use in the country. The odd number (50,000) will serve all the purposes of persons, who sleep without the cover of houses, from the nature of their employments and pursuits. The remainder will require 24,700,000 lbs. of that cotton, of which British orders of council and French imitation obstruct the sale. It is respectfully submitted, whether the duty on woolen blankets should not be raised on the fourth of July, to — per centum, if foreign governments do not appear before the ruling of congress, to return to the rule of the law of nations—the law of morals. [Philadelphia paper.]
BRICK MAKERS.
Now Invention.—Asa Frost of Caznovia, has obtained letters patent under the seal of the United States, for a machine called a Brick Machine. The advantages to brick makers to be derived from the use of this machine are numerous. The operation of preparing the mortar is simple and expeditious—which is performed by draft with horses or oxen. The brick yard which has heretofore been exposed, and the newly stricken brick liable to be demolished by sudden rain storms are now perfectly secure by means of a covering which stands and moves on trundels, and can be thrown over or taken off a yard fifty feet square in the space of 1-20 minutes. The importance of this invention is acknowledged by the most eminent brick-workmen, and by all others who have seen its operation. [Baltimore paper.]

President's Message.
WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, NOV. 8, 1808.
This day, at twelve o'clock, the President of the United States communicated in writing, by his Secretary Mr. Coles, to both houses of Congress, the following
MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives, OF THE UNITED STATES.
IT would have been a source, Fellow-Citizens, of much gratification, if our last communications from Europe had enabled me to inform you, that the belligerent nations, whose disregard of neutral rights has been so destructive to our commerce, had become awakened to the duty and true policy of revoking their unrighteous edicts. That no means might be omitted to produce this salutary effect, I lost no time in availing myself of the act authorizing a suspension, in whole or in part, of the several embargo laws. Our ministers at London and Paris were instructed to explain to the respective governments there, our dispositions to exercise the authority in such manner as would withdraw the pretext on which the aggressions were originally founded, and open the way for a renewal of that commercial intercourse which it was alleged on all sides, had been reluctantly obstructed. As each of those governments had pledged its readiness to concur in renouncing a measure which reached its adversary through the incontestable rights of neutrals only, and as the measure had been assumed by each as a retaliation for an asserted acquiescence in the aggressions of the other, it was reasonably expected that the occasion would have been seized by both for evincing the sincerity of their professions; and for restoring to the commerce of the United States its legitimate freedom. The instructions to our ministers with respect to the different belligerents were necessarily modified with a reference to their different circumstances, and to the conditions annexed by law to the executive power of suspension, requiring a degree of security to our commerce which would not result from a repeal of the decrees of France. Instead of a pledge, therefore, for a suspension of the embargo as to her, in case of such a repeal, it was presumed that a sufficient inducement might be found in other considerations, and particularly in the change produced by a compliance with our just demands by one belligerent, and a refusal by the other, in the relations between this other and the United States. To Great Britain, whose power on the ocean is so ascendant, it was deemed not inconsistent with that condition, to state explicitly; that on her rescinding her orders in relation to the United States, their trade would be opened with her, and remain shut to her enemy, in case of his failure to rescind his decrees also. From France no answer has been received, nor any indication that the requisite change in her decrees is contemplated. The favorable reception of the proposition to Great Britain was the less to be doubted, as her orders of council had not only been referred for their vindication to an acquiescence on the part of the United States no longer to be pretended, but as the arrangement proposed, whilst it resisted the illegal decrees of France, involved moreover, substantially, the precise advantages professedly aimed at by the British orders. The arrangement has nevertheless been rejected.
This candid and liberal experiment having thus failed, and no other event having occurred on which a suspension of the embargo by the executive was authorized, it necessarily remains in the extent originally given to it.
We have the satisfaction however, to reflect, that in return for the privations imposed by the measure, and which our fellow-citizens in general have borne with patriotism, it has had the important effects of saving our mariners and our vast mercantile property, as well as of affording time for prosecuting the defensive and provisional measures called for by the occasion. It has demonstrated to foreign nations the moderation and firmness which govern our councils, and to our citizens the necessity of uniting in support of the laws and the rights of their country; and has thus long frustrated those usurpations and spoliations which if resisted, involved war, if submitted to, sacrificed a vital principle of our national independence.
Under a continuance of the belligerent measures which, in defiance of laws which consecrate the rights of neutrals, overspread the ocean with danger, it will rest with the wisdom of Congress to decide on the course best adapted to such a state of things; and bringing with them, as they do, from every part of the Union, the sentiments of our constituents, my confidence is strengthened that in forming this decision, they will, with an unerring regard to the essential rights and interests of the nation, weigh and compare the painful alternatives out of which a choice is to be made. Nor should I do justice to the virtues which on other occasions have marked the character of our fellow-citizens, if I did not cherish an equal confidence that the alternative chosen, whatever it may be, will be maintained with all the fortitude and patriotism which the crisis ought to inspire.
The documents containing the correspondences on the subject of the foreign edicts against our commerce, with the instructions given to our ministers at London and Paris, are now laid before you.
The communications made to congress at their last session explained the posture in which the close of the discussions relating to the attack by a British ship of war on the frigate Chesapeake left a subject on which the nation had manifested so honorable a sensibility. Every view of what had passed, authorized a belief that immediate steps would be taken by the British government for redressing a wrong, which the more it was investigated, appeared the more clearly to require what had not been provided for in the special mission. It is found that no steps have been taken for the purpose. On the contrary it will be seen, in the documents laid before you, that the inadmissible preliminary which obstructed the adjustment, is still adhered to; and moreover, that it is now brought into connection with the distinct and irrelative case of the orders in council. The instructions which had been given to our minister at London, with a view to facilitate, if necessary, the reparation claimed by the U. States, are included in the documents communicated.
Our relations with the other powers of Europe have undergone no material changes since your last session. The important negotiations with Spain, which had been alternately suspended and resumed, necessarily experience a pause, under the extraordinary and interesting crisis which distinguishes her internal situation.
With the Barbary powers we continue in harmony, with the exception of an unjustifiable proceeding of the Dey of Algiers towards our consul to that regency. Its character and circumstances are now laid before you, and will enable you to decide how far it may either now or hereafter, call for any measures, not within the limits of the executive authority.
With our Indian neighbors the public peace has been steadily maintained. Some instances of individual wrong have, as at other times, taken place; but in no wise implicating the will of the nation. Beyond the Mississippi the Loways, the Sacs and the Alibamas have delivered up for trial and punishment individuals from among themselves, accused of murdering citizens of the United States. On this side the Mississippi the Creeks are exerting themselves to arrest offenders of the same kind, and the Choctaws have manifested their readiness and desire for amicable and just arrangements respecting depredations committed by disorderly persons of their tribe; and generally, from a conviction that we consider them as a part of ourselves, and cherish with sincerity their rights and interests. The attachment of the Indian tribes is gaining strength daily, is extending from the nearer to the more remote, and will amply requite us for the justice and friendship practised towards them. Husbandry and household manufactures are advancing more rapidly with the southern than northern tribes, from circumstances of soil and climate: and one of the two great divisions of the Cherokee nation have now under consideration to solicit the citizenship of the United States, and to be identified with us in laws and government, in such progressive manner as we shall think best.
In consequence of the appropriations of the last session of Congress for the security of our seaport towns and harbors, such works of defence have been erected as seemed to be called for by the situation of the several places, their relative importance, and the scale of expence indicated by the amount of the appropriation. These works will chiefly be finished in the course of the present season, except at New-York and New-Orleans, where most was to be done; and although a great proportion of the last appropriation has been expended on the former place, yet some further views will be submitted to congress for rendering its security entirely adequate against naval enterprise. A view of what has been done at the several places, and of what is proposed to be done, shall be communicated as soon as the several reports are received.
Of the gun boats authorised by the act of December last, it has been thought necessary to build only one hundred and three in the present year, these, with those before possessed, are sufficient for the harbors and waters most exposed, and the residue will require little time for their construction when it shall be deemed necessary.
Under the act of the last session for raising an additional military force, so many officers were immediately appointed as were necessary for carrying on the business of recruiting, and in proportion as it advanced, others have been added. We have reason to believe their success has been satisfactory, although such returns have not yet been received, as enable me to present you a statement of the numbers engaged.
I have not thought it necessary in the course of the last session to call for any general detachments of militia or of volunteers, under the laws passed for that purpose, for the ensuing season; however, they will be required to be in readiness, should their service be wanted. Some small and special detachments have been necessary to maintain the laws of the embargo, on that portion of our northern frontier which offered peculiar facilities for evasion—but these were replaced as soon as it could be done by bodies of new recruits—by the aid of these, and of the armed vessels called into service in other quarters, the spirit of disobedience and abuse, which manifested itself early, and with sensible effect while we were unprepared to meet it, has been considerably repressed.
Considering the extraordinary character of the times in which we live, our attention should unremittingly be fixed on the safety of our country—for a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security—it is therefore incumbent on us at every meeting, to revise the condition of the militia, and to ask ourselves if it is prepared to repel a powerful enemy at every point of our territories exposed to invasion? Some of the states have paid a laudable attention to this object: but every degree of neglect is to be found among others. Congress alone having the power to produce an uniform state of preparation in this great organ of defence, the interests which they so deeply feel in their own and their country's security, will present this as among the most important objects of their deliberation.
Under the acts of March 11, and April 23, respecting arms, the difficulty of procuring them from abroad, during the present situation and dispositions of Europe, induced us to direct our whole efforts to the means of internal supply. The public factories have therefore been enlarged, additional machineries erected, and in proportion as artificers can be found or formed, their effect already more than doubled, may be increased so as to keep pace with the yearly increase of the militia. The annual sums appropriated by the latter act, have been directed to the encouragement of private factories of arms; and contracts have been entered into with individual undertakers to nearly the amount of the first year's appropriation.
The suspension of our foreign commerce, produced by the injustice of the belligerent powers, and the consequent losses and sacrifices of our citizens, are subjects of just concern. The situation into which we have thus been forced, has impelled us to apply a portion of our industry and capital to internal manufactures and improvements. The extent of this conversion is daily increasing, and little doubt remains that the establishments formed and forming, will, under the auspices of cheaper materials and subsistence, the freedom of labor from taxation with us, and of protecting duties and prohibitions, become permanent. The commerce with the Indians too, within our own boundaries, is likely to receive abundant aliment from the same internal source, and will secure to them peace and the progress of civilization, undisturbed by practices hostile to both.
The accounts of the receipts and expenditures during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, being not yet made up, a correct statement will hereafter be transmitted from the treasury; in the mean time it is ascertained that the receipts have amounted to near eighteen millions of dollars, which with the eight millions and an half in the treasury at the beginning of the year, have enabled us after meeting the current demands and interest incurred, to pay two millions three hundred thousand dollars of the principal of our funded debt, and left us in the treasury on that day near fourteen millions of dollars; of these, five millions three hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be necessary to pay what will be due on the 1st day of January next, which will complete the reimbursement of the eight per cent stock; these payments with those made in the 6 years and an half preceding, will have extinguished thirty three millions, five hundred and eighty thousand dollars of the principal of the funded debt, being the whole which could be paid or purchased within the limits of the law and of our contracts; and the amount of principal thus discharged, will have liberated the revenue from about two millions of interest, and added that sum annually to the disposable surplus—the probable accumulation of the surpluses of revenue, beyond what can be
applied to the payment of the public debt, whenever the freedom and safety of our commerce shall be restored, merits the consideration of Congress. Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults? Shall the revenue be reduced? or shall it not rather be appropriated to the improvements of roads, canals, rivers, education, and other great foundations of prosperity and union, under the powers which Congress may already possess, or such amendment of the constitution as may be approved by the states? While uncertain of the course of things, the time may be advantageously employed in obtaining the powers necessary for a system of improvement, should that be thought best.
Availing myself of this the last occasion which will occur of addressing the two houses of legislature at their meeting, I cannot omit the expression of my sincere gratitude, for the repeated proofs of confidence manifested to me by themselves and their predecessors, since my call to the administration, and the many indulgences experienced at their hands. The same grateful acknowledgements are due to my fellow citizens generally, whose support has been my great encouragement under all embarrassments. In the transaction of their business I cannot have escaped error; it is incident to our imperfect nature; but I may say with truth, my errors have been of the understanding, not of intention; and that the advancement of their rights and interests has been the constant motive for every measure. On these considerations I solicit their indulgence—Looking forward with anxiety to their future destinies. I trust that in their steady character, unflinched by difficulties in their love of liberty, obedience to law, and support of the public authorities, I see a sure guarantee of the permanence of our republic; and retiring from the charge of their affairs, I carry with me the consolation of a firm persuasion that Heaven has in store for our beloved country, long ages to come of prosperity and happiness.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1808.
Mr. Madison's Election certifi. VERMONT ELECTORS.
Montpelier, Nov. 4th, 1808.
Dear Sir,
The great and important question of choosing Electors for President, was determined this day, at 11 o'clock, when the following persons were declared duly elected, viz. His Excellency Israel Smith, Hon. Jonas Galusha, Hon. John White, Hon. Samuel Shepherson, Hon. James Tarbox, and General William Cahoone, by a majority of ten, in Grand Committee; the above will support the Madisonian ticket for President.
Extract of a letter to the Editor from a member of Assembly, dated Albany, 2d Nov. at 8 o'clock. "Our Governor delivered his Speech yesterday, when we chose General James W. Wilkinson of Orange for Speaker, by a majority of fifteen. Notwithstanding the management and intrigue which has been played off, I can assure you the electors which will be chosen to-morrow or next day—will to a man in my opinion, vote for Mr. Madison." [N. Y. Daily Adv.]
The hopes of the friends of Gov. Clinton are now at an end, from every quarter we have the most decided assurances of the election of JAMES MADISON to the Presidency by a large majority—he will at least have 123 votes out of 176. [Ibid.]
In New-York the republican majority is between 3000 and 4000, notwithstanding the assertions of a decreased majority by the federalists.
In Pennsylvania, 20 Democratic Electors are chosen. The city of Philadelphia gave a republican majority of One Thousand and One!
A report has prevailed, that in Delaware the House of Representatives was Republican by a majority of one vote, from some dissensions among the federalists in Sussex. Honest men do sometimes come by their rights.
THE PROPOSITION.
The federal papers are in a sad taking at the news that the administration would raise the embargo, if Great Britain would rescind her orders in council. They affect not to believe it; and even the Washington Federalist sings a negative. In the true baf style, as if the Washington Federalist knew any thing about the matter. I protest that I never suspected that paper of knowing any thing about the transactions of our own government or of any government. It can, therefore be of very little importance what that paper believes or does not believe, since it has neither sagacity nor judgment. IT IS A FACT, and the sequel will show it, that the American government proposed to raise the embargo if the British ministry would remove the orders in council; and what is more, the proposal I will venture to say was clogged with no other condition or requisition whatsoever. What could the federal party say if it should appear that the English refused to accept the offer unless we would give up other points which we claim of them? I do not say that such has been the case; but I suspect something has occurred very like it. Let the opposition prepare all their arts and sciences, for they will stand in need of the Repertories of finesse to extricate themselves from disgrace, from humiliation, from utter and grovelling contempt;—Let them prepare. I say, for if I am not very much mistaken, if I am not deceived in my understanding beyond all measure, it will appear that the administration, which has been cruelly calumniated for being under French influence, has gone infinitely further to conciliate his Britannic majesty than it has to pacify Napoleon. [Washington Monitor.]
No King but God, no Country but America—This was, and ever will be the motto of every American; and feeling its force, he will prefer two deaths in the field in support of his freedom, to one in his bed. The warm blood of patriotism, to the cold blood of palsy, especially when he considers that conscience makes cowards of none but traitors, and heroes of few, except those who love their God, their country and their freedom. [Columbian Centinel.]
A set-off against the Embargo.
The urbanity of the republican party arising from the mildness of its principles, has in a great measure, consigned the errors of the preceding administration to oblivion. Federalists calculating on a forbearance which must appear extraordinary to them, appear to imagine that we have forgotten their extravagance and their misdemeanors. It is much to be wished that some political character who possesses the requisite experience and information, would furnish the people of the United States with a regular detail of our national concerns, during the period they were administered by the opposition party. Their recent opposition to measures which they know to have been necessary, ought to provoke a full disclosure of their conduct. If I could divert the time from other pursuits, I should be greatly inclined to undertake the task. Permit me at present to give the following statement.
During an administration of ten years, the federal administration borrowed near twenty-six millions of dollars, and such was the low ebb of public credit, or the high statement of ministerial prodigality, that a part was taken up at the exorbitant interest of eight per cent,* a circumstance before unknown in the history of funding.
  1789, 1790, 1791 5,203,800   1792, 5,228,995 56   1793, 1,124,000   1794, 4,600,000   1795, 3,300,000   1796, 320,000   1797, 70,000   1798, 200,000   1799, 5,929,200 
Dolls. 25,775,795 56
By this statement you will perceive there was not a year in which the former administration did not borrow monies. Contrast then its conduct with that of the Jefferson administration. Consider that the latter has not only acquired an immense and valuable territory; and defraying our national debt, to an amount equal to the sum borrowed by its predecessors, has also upwards of thirteen millions of dollars in cash in the public Treasury.
* Observe the government under the federalists gave an interest against the laws, which, in an individual would have been usury. [N. Y. Pub. Adv.]
SURELY no American can suppose that the government of the United States, will submit to British orders of council or French decrees.
Can any one expect a recommendation from the executive to pay tribute!
Is there any man who can pretend to be an American, and say that no ship shall go to sea, and perform a voyage to Europe without a British passport.
If there are any such persons—they are fit for an hospital—beggars are their proper climate.
The declaration of the British minister concerning American commerce, tho' it has not been communicated in an official form, is well known; we speak it with full assurance of its truth, that Mr. Canning has avowed the determination of the British cabinet, that no American vessel will be suffered to swim the ocean without a permit or passport from Great Britain.
We can, with the same confidence in our authority, assert, that the language of the British court—of the "king's friends," is in the same style of contumelious and angry hostility to the United States.
In the journal kept by Dr. Franklin while he was minister plenipotentiary at the court of Versailles, we find the following note under the head of Memoranda No IV. Franklin's Works, vol. V. page 326.
"No. IV.—Immediately after the death of lord Rockingham, the king said to lord Shelburne—"I will be plain with you, the point next my heart and which I am determined, be the consequence what it may, "never to relinquish but with my crown and "life, is to prevent a total unequivocal recognition of the independence of America. "Promise me support on this ground, and I "will leave you unopposed on every other "ground, and with full power as the prime "minister of England. The bargain was "struck."
The solemn serious truth is, that the British government has never forgiven the independence of America; and they yet entertain the mad design of reducing the United States to colonial subjection. [Philadelphia Aurora.]
The accounts we daily receive of the CAPTURING, CONDEMNING, ROBBERY, SINKING, BURNING and DESTROYING our vessels and property by the French and English, prove the wisdom of the Embargo, and amply justify that precautionary measure with every reflecting mind. Those who have been infatuated and deceived by federal writers into an opinion that the ocean was free; must now be convinced that the orders and decrees of the belligerents are not the playthings of children. Government, has given solemn warning that the common high way of nations, is no longer safe; that it is invaded by ROBBERS. Has Government told the truth; or, have those federalists, who have endeavoured to persuade us, that government aimed at the destruction of commerce, told the truth?
Since the President's message was received in town, the opposition has been at faults. There is no method in their barking. The whipper-in from Boston will soon put them on the true scent; when we may expect to hear them yelp in full chorus.
The Oracle writers attempt to stigmatize "the adherents of Mr. Jefferson," by charging them with partiality to France. This is a false and scandalous insinuation. Our adherence to the administration, is bottomed on the conviction, that it has ever sought the best interests of the country. We have never advocated the attacks made on our national character by France or England. We know no country but the United States of America, FREE, SOVEREIGN and INDEPENDENT. We defy the Oracle writers to show that we have justified the atrocities of France; and we engage to show, (if it be necessary to prove what is known to all) that that paper has uniformly justified Britain and traduced the government of the United States.
We have seen a specimen of a new paper to be published in Boston called the Columbian Centinel. Its professed object is to detect all federal lies! Many people think the sheet not half large enough for the purpose.

Republican Gain 1729!!
By the returns of votes published in our paper of this day, it will be seen that the Citizens of New Hampshire, are rapidly returning to correct principles. In proportion as the falsehoods and misrepresentations with which they have been enveloped, dissipate; the people will see that their true interest consists, not in adhering to a desperate and designing faction; but in supporting the government of their Country in the firm, dignified, temperate and forbearing measures they have adopted. They will see that the crisis calls for the heart and hand of every American, and will not shrink from their duty.
Reparation for the Chesapeake Massacre. After England has murdered our citizens within our own jurisdiction—robbed our vessels of our seamen—and executed one as a malefactor—after she has thus long denied reparation and been ever adding insults to injuries—we are now told that she offers—a few pitiful pensions at the price of blood! This, is a certain class of men, is "ample satisfaction!" Most execrable traitors—you disgrace the American name—go out from among us.
