From the Washington Monitor.
ESSEX JUNTO CUNNING.
On all occasions, when it is necessary to hide their own evil doings, the Junto of Essex set agoing, by means of their sub-yelpers, the cry of French Influence . This is their cunning—and they sometimes play off this sleight of tongue with no contemptible success.
If an embargo is laid to preserve our ships and merchandise from the gripe of the British—That is, with the junto , French Influence .
If the same course of policy is pursued towards France as towards Great Britain—It is French Influence .
If the majority of the nation will not yield to the wishes of a faction at Boston—It is French Influence .
If the national executive will not suffer the laws to be violated, without an effort to enforce them—It is French Influence .
If it be said that the impressment of our seamen by the British, is an outrage upon our rights—It is French Influence .</

WASHINGTON-CITY, MARCH 4. Mr. MADISON'S Inaugural SPEECH:
UNWILLING to depart from examples of the most revered authority, I avail myself of the occasion now presented, to express the profound impression made on me, by the call of my country to the station, to the duties of which I am about to pledge myself, by the most solemn of sanctions. So distinguished a mark of confidence proceeding from the deliberate and tranquil suffrage of a free and virtuous nation, would under any circumstances, have commanded my gratitude and devotion, as well as filled me with an awful sense of the trust to be assumed. Under the various circumstances which give peculiar solemnity to the existing period, I feel that both the honor and the responsibility allotted to me, are inexpressibly enhanced.
The present situation of the world is indeed without a parallel, and that of our own country full of difficulties. The pressure of these too, is the more severely felt, because they have fallen upon us at a moment when national prosperity being at a height not before attained, the contrast resulting from the change, has been rendered the more striking. Under the benign influence of our republican institutions, and the maintenance of peace with all nations, whilst so many of them were engaged in bloody and wasteful wars, the fruits of a just policy were enjoyed in an unrivalled growth of our faculties and resources. Proofs of this were seen in the improvements of agriculture; in the successful enterprizes of commerce; in the progress of manufactures and useful arts; in the increase of the public revenue, and the use made of it in reducing the public debt; and in the valuable works and establishments every where multiplying over the face of our land.
It is a precious reflection that the transition from this prosperous condition of our country, to the scene which has for some time been distressing us, is not chargeable on any unwarrantable views, nor, as I trust, on any involuntary errors, in the public councils. Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the repose of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United States to cultivate peace by observing justice, and to entitle themselves to the respect of the nations at war, by fulfilling their neutral obligations, with the most scrupulous impartiality. If there be candor in the world, the truth of these assertions will not be questioned. Posterity at least will do justice to them.
This unexceptionable course could not avail against the injustice and violence of the belligerent powers. In their rage against each other, or impelled by more direct motives, principles of retaliation have been introduced, equally contrary to universal reason and acknowledged law. How long their arbitrary edicts, will be continued in spite of the demonstrations, that not even a pretext for them has been given by the United States, and of the fair and liberal attempts to induce a revocation of them, cannot be anticipated. Assuring myself that under every vicissitude, the determined spirit and united counsels of the nation will be safeguards to its honor and its essential interests, I repair to the post assigned me, with no other discouragement than what springs from my own inadequacy to its high duties. If I do not sink under the weight of this deep conviction, it is because I find some support in a consciousness of the purposes, and a confidence in the principles, which I bring with me into this arduous service.
To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations, having correspondent dispositions; to maintain sincere neutrality towards belligerent nations; to prefer in all cases amicable discussions, and reasonable accommodation of differences, to a decision of them by an appeal to arms; to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign partialities, so degrading to all countries, and so baneful to free ones; to foster a spirit of independence, too just to invade the rights of others; too proud to surrender our own; too liberal to indulge unworthy prejudices ourselves, and too elevated not to look down upon them in others; to hold the union of the states as the basis of their peace and happiness; to support the constitution which is the cement of the union, as well in its limitations, as in its authorities; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to the States and to the people, as equally incorporated with, and essential to the success of the general system, to avoid the slightest interference with the rights of conscience, or the functions of religion so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction; to preserve to their full energy the other salutary provisions in behalf of private & personal rights, and of the freedom of the press; to observe economy in public expendi-
tures; to liberate the public resources by an honorable discharge of the public debts; to keep within the requisite limits a standing military force, always remembering that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics, that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger; nor with large ones safe; to promote by authorized means improvements friendly to agriculture, and to external as well as internal commerce, to favour, in like manner the advancement of science and the diffusion of information, as the best aliment to true liberty; to carry on the benevolent plans, which have been so meritoriously applied to the conversion of our aboriginal neighbors from the degradation and wretchedness of savage life, to a participation of the improvements of which the human mind and manners are susceptible in a civilized state. As far as sentiments and intentions such as these can aid the fulfilment of my duty, they will be a resource which cannot fail me.
It is my good fortune moreover to have the path in which I am to tread, lighted by examples of illustrious services, successfully rendered in the most trying difficulties by those who have marched before me. Of those of my immediate predecessor, it might least become me here to speak—I may however be pardoned for not suppressing the sympathy, with which my heart is full, in the rich reward he enjoys in the benedictions of a beloved country, gratefully bestowed for exalted talents, zealously devoted through a long career, to the advancement of its highest interest and happiness. But the source to which I look for the aids, which alone can supply my deficiencies, is in the well tried intelligence and virtue of my fellow-citizens and in the councils of those representing them in the other departments, associated in the care of the national interest. In these my confidence will, under every difficulty, be best placed; next to that which we have all been encouraged to feel in the guardianship and guidance of that Almighty Being, whose power regulates the destiny of nations—whose blessings have been so conspicuously dispensed to this rising people, and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and best hopes for the future.
JAMES MADISON.
FOREIGN NEWS.
We extract from the United States Gazette, the substance of the governmental declaration upon the negotiation, proposed by Russia & France, dated London, Dec. 15. This declaration states that "The proposals made by Russia and France have not terminated in any negotiation." It goes on to state as the reason for rejecting the proposals, that the "appearance of a negotiation" would be of advantage to the enemy"—that it would offer to France an opportunity to sow discord and jealousy in the councils of those who are united to resist oppression; and to regret the concurrence of the Emperor of Russia with the views of Bonaparte. His Majesty declares that "he is ready to enter into a negotiation in concert with his allies," and that he shall consider himself in league with Spain.—That by the answer given by France to this proposal, "is discovered the veil which was used to cover its schemes"—That the considered Spanish nation as insurgents, and that the demand of the admission of that nation as a party to the negotiation, was rejected as insulting. It finally concludes: "His Majesty would have readily embraced the opportunity of a negotiation that would have presented some hope or prospect of a peace, compatible with justice and honour. His Majesty regrets extremely any thing which will aggravate and prolong the sufferings of Europe; but neither the honour of His Majesty, nor the generosity of the British nation, will permit him to commence a negotiation, by abandoning a loyal and brave people, who are fighting for the preservation of all that is most dear to men, and whose efforts in a cause so notoriously just, His Majesty has obligated himself most solemnly to support."
From this document it would appear that his majesty's principal objection to treating with France arose from his obligations to aid Spain. Should all further aid to the patriots become hopeless, it would seem that Great Britain considered the door to an honourable negotiation as open on her part.
FRENCH BULLETINS.
[The length of the French Bulletins preventing our publishing them entire, we give the following summary from the Essex Register.]
By the First Bulletin the French are placed on the banks of the Ebro, with Spain open before them. The actions of Lerin and Logrono have been already known. The consequence of the peasantry, and their indignation upon defeat, could not be better expressed than by the history of their violence to their General, whom they considered as accessory to their defeat. It corresponds also to the disposition the Spaniards have discovered ever since hostilities to the French in Spain have been justified. But such violence promises little to their success, and much less to their liberty. The French had soon an opportunity to meet in the field, the general who had withdrawn from their encampments in Denmark, and Romana soon found himself unable to contend with the Duke of Dantzic. A retreat opened the way for the French to enter Bilboa, and to extend themselves upon the northern shore, and to attack the Spaniards in situations in which they were sure to suffer. In these operations, the fine weather and abundant supplies assisted the good spirits which success easily creates. The losses of a retreating army, especially when the pursuers are inaccustomed as against Romana, must necessarily be great.
By the Second Bulletin we are introduced to Burgos, whose Bishop crowned Joseph, and which could represent the power of Old Castile. At the raking of this city, the great number of the prisoners confirms the greatness of the victory, and the same violence which had distinguished the conduct of the Spaniards at the time of their former defeat, displays their cruelty in the assassination of their General on this occasion. While the army of Galicia was dispersed, the Emperor of the French enjoyed the full success of his arms, and the full possession of Burgos. Already then we find that the northern provinces which had resisted every invasion from the times of the Romans and who had even under Spanish crown held privileges as the tokens of that ancient bravery, were now subject to the power of the French.
The Third Bulletin opens a new scene. The first had overawed the Spaniards by the celerity of his victories; the second gave to the arms of the French Emperor the full possession of an ancient city, and the submission of the adjacent country. The third, while it extends his dominion, puts into his power all the means of retaliation from the wealth and property which was now at his command. And while he discovers his resentment to the enemies of the French, he has an opportunity of discovering the most pacific disposition to the Bishop of Palencia, who gave a great example of submission and peace. In these events he gives a lesson to his friends and his enemies, and does not fail to employ the principles of peace to conciliate the minds which had been distressed by religious apprehensions. Palencia, which lies south westerly from Burgos, and whose rich Bishop is suffragan to the Arch Bishop of Burgos, lying in another province, exhibits the increase of the French power, and the conduct to be observed to those who submit to the French arms.
In the next Bulletin, as we might expect, the French were disposed for an early attempt against the English troops which had entered Spain, and had obliged the necessity of this war in the country of their former allies. The Emperor soon discovered that the general alarm had procured him many assurances of a peaceful disposition in the inhabitants, and as his hopes of recovering the command of the country increased, the resolution to discover and punish the English became more apparent. The first information did not secure to him the object of his ambition, and the full wishes of his troops, but the unofficial accounts which have reached us, assure us that he pursued this object with the greatest ardor, and with the unabating zeal of his best troops, and with such success as makes the escape of the English troops very doubtful, unless they have employed more military skill than has ever yet been reported to us. In these occasions, we might expect the French would exhibit every plea for their justification. And while they have not overlooked the outrages they have suffered, they have not failed to concur with every prejudice against monkish delusions, and against the policy of Blanca, whose talents had placed him at the head of the Spanish council.
In the fifth Bulletin, we discover that the French pursued Romana, who commanded the Spanish allied troops in Denmark, till his troops were dispersed, and we find the French at Reynosa, between Palencia and Santander. The slaughter is represented to be great. We refuse at present to mention the numbers taken or slain, not because we doubt the extent of the calamities of the war, but because the losses on both sides cannot be fairly known, and their influence upon the two armies in the successive encounters. In the sixth Bulletin, we learn that with the disposition of the army of Galicia all hopes had forsaken the Spaniards of accomplishing anything in their northern provinces, and we now find the French pressing southward as far as Aranda, and extending themselves from the Pyrenees to the boundaries of Portugal. The advantages which must arise from the command of such an extent of country must be great, and of the evils to the inhabitants, the General Council at a very early period began to complain. The vast deposits of grain, of arms, and of clothing, as well as the riches of the country, must have been in the power of the French, who were not a little elated at an opportunity to seize upon part of the supplies sent to Spain from England. Of the vast supplies intended for Spain the English mention as already sent 58,000 uniforms, and cloths for nearly as many more, besides 200,000 yards of linen, as well as great-coats, shirts and 73,000 pair of shoes. In the seventh bulletin, we are informed that the French after the surrender of Santander, extended themselves instantly upon the shore, and secured such goods as had been trusted in these situations as safe beyond the reach of the French arms. In the eighth we find the French have full possession of the Asturias, and repelling the Spaniards in every direction. In the ninth, we find headquarters removed from Burgos to Aranda, an unequivocal proof of the progress of the French arms. This position we have already noticed in the latitude of Salamanca and Soria. By this position the communications with Madrid from the northern provinces, were interrupted, and Madrid thrown into great confusion, and the operations are now to commence on the right of the Spanish armies. The tenth is said to contain an outline of the arrangements on 26th November for a general attack, and the 11th announces that all hopes for the Spaniards from their first armies were at an end, as at Burgos, Espinosa and Tudela, the wings and the centre of the Spanish army had been effectually routed. According to the twelfth bulletin, the action of Tudela is declared to have been very bloody, and to have given the French many prisoners. The defeated army was pursued in Aragon, and many thousand fell into the hands of the French. It appears that such of the peasantry as were found in arms suffered all the fury of the conqueror. Saragossa on the Ebro, has lately been fortified by the Spaniards at great expense. Its population is given at 36,000. The French had advanced to Barja, beyond Tarazona, in Aragon, and represent the whole country open to them in the route to Madrid. The Council is said to have retired from the late place of assembly, and the people, according to the bulletins were anxious to restore peace to their country. We find nothing which can give us certain accounts of the English troops in Spain. We have no satisfactory accounts of their junction, nor indeed of their real position. Salamanca is mentioned as the intended place of junction, and several rumors bring the English into action with the Spaniards, after the reports by the bulletins brought to us, cease. If before the end of
November, above three months ago, the French were advancing to Madrid, and the council had left its neighborhood, and the great armies of Spain had been dispersed, and the people were seeking peace, the most important events which have undoubtedly happened, must have decided the fate of Spain, and we may expect soon to be relieved from all uncertainty on the subject.
POLITICAL.
From the Concord Patriot.
To the Farmers of New Hampshire.
Free from the cares of business, happy in retirement, and satisfied with his own domain; the farmer labors with cheerfulness, and in the bosom of his family finds repose. At his table he looks on his hearty children with joy, and at night retiring to rest with his faithful partner, his sleep is sweet. But, should he be awakened from his slumber by the high wind and pelting rain, he starts from his bed, looks abroad, and thinks of his flocks and cattle:—they are all sheltered! he goes to his children and covers them warm: he returns to his bed:—the storm grows loud: he thinks of the fear of the merchant, and the hapless sailor's doom; and feels thankful that God made him a Farmer. In ordinary times the tranquil life of the farmer, saves him from fear respecting national concerns, and he considers the subject of politics as foreign to his interests.
But should the noise of contending parties disturb his repose; should he see a storm rising on the political horizon; he becomes anxious and enquires if all is safe?—he thinks of his property: he thinks of his children.
The situation of our country, my friends induced me last October and November to address you in the "Patriot," and to call your attention to threatening dangers; I pointed out the evil designs of your enemies; warned you against supporting men who consulted their own interest, instead of the welfare of the country; and reminded you of the virtue and sufferings of the martyrs of liberty who achieved our independence. Once more I call on you Farmers, for the perilous times of which I gave warning, are fast approaching.
A minority of the people of the United States, pretend that they have more wisdom and virtue than the majority! and governed by pride (the son of Lucifer) they wish to overthrow the government founded on the will of the people—the majority!
They wish to dictate to the Government, and although, the President of the United States hath sworn to maintain the constitution, and do, to the utmost, every service for the good of the country; and although, the members of Congress are bound by an oath equally solemn; yet, the minority of the people are determined to oppose that government, and seem to expect that the majority will submit! Why this my friends would be an Aristocracy! the cord would be drawn tighter and tighter until the power would lodge in a nobility! and at length those ambitious Tyrants would mount a throne—and trample on our necks. And shall it come to this?
The dust of Washington is yet moist in his grave, and will freemen who witnessed his exertions in the cause of liberty submit to have their dearest privileges wrested from them by a desperate faction?—Of what use is our right of suffrage if the majority is not to govern? Why do we have town meetings if the majority are not to determine the vote?
Farmers awaken from your slumbers, for the enemy is upon you!
A faction have opposed the Government and by assuming the name of federalists have drawn after them a multitude who seem bent on destruction. It was not Mr. Jefferson they opposed, but it was the Government of the People ; for it is evident that they are determined to continue their opposition although Mr. Jefferson is no longer president. The object of the faction is to separate the states; to make New England independent of the United States, and dependent on Great Britain; to make us join Britain in her wars and (as was the case before the revolution,) spend our property, and waste our blood; to gratify her ambition.
Farmers, your Government has been traduced, and many of you have been deceived; had you aroused from your slumbers months ago, all ere this, would have been well. But the enemy has been encouraged by your indifference and inattention, and builds high his hopes that you will give him your support. But before you attempt a change in your state government; before you raise men to office, who have pledged themselves to support the measures of the Massachusetts Junto; before you differ the Union; before you raise a desperate hand to "prostrate the honor of your country"—O think of your property! think of your Children!!
Can that Government be bad which secures to you blessings far above those of any other people? You are not burdened with taxes; you enjoy plenty and peace; and these blessings will be continued to you, if you are faithful to yourselves.—Whilst the property of other nations has been wasted, and the blood of millions shed at the shrine of cursed ambition; your own Government has preserved you in peace. It will still preserve you, if you will unite in its support.
The Embargo saved the property of the merchants, and the persons of the seamen; both of which are now in the common stock of our resources, for the defence of the country. If these had been in the hands of the enemy, how great would be his strength—how feeble your weakness; he might then have made war on us with a mighty force, and the property of the farmer would have been spent in a vain defence. The Embargo has given time to our Government to fortify all our harbors, and prepare vessels of war to defend our commerce. And now the Embargo is removed! But should we be united the enemy would not assail us; for he knows our preparations—he knows our courage. Civil war we have to dread!—A separation of the states! O! my friends, think of the horrors of a separation—of civil war! When Brother falls by Brother! When the Parent is slain by his child.
Your Enemies have called upon you to change your Government, and to turn from office your old friend the venerable, the patriotic LANGDON: The revolutionary Warrior and Statesman; the friend and companion of WASHINGTON. And why are you to be thus ungrateful? because he supports the National Government? Yes! Yes! he is to be preferred because he supports the National Government!
FARMERS, arise in thy strength and put down the faction.
A tempest approaches; the thunder roars at a distance; the blast of the terrible one is at hand! haste, Farmers! haste—help to each other; enter into the ark of Union, save your property! save your children! save your Country! Let us not rob our innocent offspring of their birthright! let us not impose on them the shackles of tyranny! nor bind their necks to the yoke of despotism! Let us do our duty my Countrymen, that when we are here no more, our memories may be embalmed with the tears of a grateful posterity.
A Farmer who loves his Country.
FOR THE N. H. GAZETTE.
In the tory paper of the 4th instant, it is observed, that "a Gazette writer says" (see Gazette of 28th Feb.) "there are six real Tories in New Hampshire, who have been selected from the year 1775, 21 in Massachusetts, 5 in Connecticut and 3 in Vermont;" the observer goes on and says—"this is good news, and every friend to our liberties must be glad to learn there are so few Tories in New England. It is to be hoped the incessant howling of the democratic papers about Tories will cease for the future, for no man will think that 36 Tories can upset the whole country."—This observer does well to affect an exultation that there are only 36 Tories in New England—It is good policy to cry out Tory , to ward off a suspicion of Toryism . The Gazette writer, however, is incorrect in the number he has given of the Tories as it respects New Hampshire. I know not the number in the other States of New England, but I know of nine at least, of the old stock of 1775 now living in New Hampshire, with whom I was acquainted—their exemplified their principles by their conduct in the time of our revolution; and have been planting the seeds of them ever since; their children and their children's children, have been brought up and educated in them;—and they have been inculcating their principles and propagating them on other stalks, so that they are now become a numerous progeny.—This herd is now employed in deceiving the good people of this state, and bringing us into an alliance with, and a consequent subjection to, Great Britain. They once before attempted to enslave us with Tariffs and Ocean monopolies ; to frighten us into the arms of that nation whose embraces would be poison and ruin, as they have been to all the northern states of Europe, and are now in actual operation in the destruction of Spain.
These Tories so multiplied in New Hampshire, are united in their plans with the actual subjects of England and their agents who fill the town of Boston, and influence by their dinners, flatteries and promises the Legislature of that state; so that a majority of that Legislature has actually adopted an infractious proceeding against our national government; they are headed by Christopher Gore who is well known to every intelligent man to be a British partizan, the son of an absentee, who left Boston in the time of our revolution, and who was considered of the party of Tories in 1775—This man has fat himself up as candidate for governor of the once gallant and republican state of Massachusetts—The same principles of Toryism and aristocracy are now disseminating and spreading wide in New Hampshire.
Not content with disseminating those poisonous principles of Toryism , disorganization and insurrection —and opposition to our national government, and elevating this half Britain to the chief magistracy of their own state—this Boston and Essex Junto are endeavoring to create divisions in the state of New Hampshire, and have joined the Tories here in disturbing our peace by nominating Judge SMITH as a candidate for Chief Magistrate, and displacing that tried and undeviating republican, governor LANGDON, from the executive chair; who has exercised impartial justice and given perfect satisfaction to the state at large, and to the citizens of every party.—Mr. Smith is well in his place as Judge; he was brought up in the study and practice of the law; is perfectly acquainted with the whole libraries of laws & authorities, both foreign and national, that are piled on the tables at the bar of every court; he knows how to check the knavery and applaud the honesty of the variety of characters which crowd the pale of the bar; and to decide with judgment and I hope with impartiality on every cause that comes before him:—but judge Smith was brought up (in his law studies) in that sin of Toryism , the place that gave name and character to the Essex Junto , and in the office and under the tuition of as high principled a tory, as any inhabiting the county of Essex or town of Boston.
I therefore urge it upon you, my brethren and fellow citizens of New Hampshire, to guard yourselves against the wiles and deceptions of the Tories of New Hampshire, or of Massachusetts, and shrink not from your support of that tried and inflexible patriot, and experienced magistrate.
JOHN LANGDON,
For your Governor: Come forward with your votes on the 14th March for this uniform Republican; be not now beaten by the Tories of this State; nor contaminated by the poisonous principles of the Essex Junto.

Republicans of Portsmouth,
This day your annual Town Meeting will be held for the choice of State Officers. Consider the solemn duty you have to perform. The question is not whether you will have a RE- PUBLICAN Governor and Legislators, but whether you will support the Government of the United States!
A FACTION in Massachusetts conspiring to separate the Union; combining to overthrow the Government, and with it, your LIBERTIES; endeavors to array you with them in the nefarious plot!
Fathers, Husbands, Sons! Consider your duty to yourselves, your families, your posterity! Perhaps on the vote you give this day, the happiness or misery of millions may depend! Be firm and undaunted at your posts: let no man tamper with your rights! The Factions would sacrifice JOHN LANGDON, one of Liberty's oldest sons, on the altar of Aristocracy.— Give the Republican Ticket your undivided support. Be united; be firm, and victory will crown your exertions.

For the N. H. GAZETTE.
The Farmers, Mechanics and labouring men of every denomination, carry the great part of the votes, for public officers— if any man, does them the honor to call them Democrats, let them return their hearty thanks. DEMOCRAT, is the most honorable appellation they can bestow on a free son of America. A democratic Government, properly managed, will keep every man who is not a fool, FREE and INDEPENDENT. It is well known by every person of common sense, who has duly reflected that every other Government on Earth enslave the labouring classes. Why will any man in his senses surrender the power of voting which properly belongs to him, out of his hands, or give it up to another? Remember that all public officers are, constitutionally, the SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE, not their masters. Does not the constitution of New Hampshire provide for universal suffrage, and annual elections, thereby placing in the hands of the great body of the People, a complete check on the overgrown influence, which wealth would otherwise produce in society? Let the People, conscientiously, exercise their right of suffrage, and turn a deaf ear to designing men; thus only can they preserve their liberties. All nature cannot contrail them, while they are true to themselves and each other.
Seeing that all the rest of the world has become, in a greater or less degree, enslaved; it is time for AMERICANS to attend strictly to their rights. Our federal, or tory party, are playing a deep game; but, thank God, their trap is discovered by their own folly in despising a Democratic Government: on the principles of which and no other, can a nation remain free.
As there are but a few real Tories in the United States, who are at the bottom of the conspiracy against Democracy; I hope those innocent people who have been duped by them will be induced to forsake the Juntos , and return with correct principles to support a Government of laws, and to enjoy the fruits of their industry in a land of light and liberty. By adhering to such maxims, and remaining firm at their posts on the day of election, they will be enabled to transmit to their posterity the blessings of FREEDOM which they now enjoy. Should they pursue the thorny tracks of Federalism, a few years will fix them in eternal slavery without remedy! A DEMOCRAT.
"The Sticking place."
When the Republicans "frees the passions of the people," the points to which they would raise them, are, love of liberty; love of country; hatred to tyranny; respect for the constituted authorities; obedience to the public will; support of the laws;— such we fully believe are the aims of the republican party in general; such we know are those of the Republicans of Portsmouth in particular; and, there they are determined to "stick."
The federalists may sneer at the enthusiasm with which the fourth of March was celebrated and call it "noisy patriotism;" they may coax, at one time, or, threaten at another; whether they smile, or, whether they frown, the Republicans, one and all, will pursue "the even tenor of their way," taking care to avoid the paths of disunion; of civil commotion; of treason and rebellion: and to shun the mire and filth; — "the sticking place" of federalism.
Highly Gratifying—We learn, that Mr. Gore's Committee Declaration of war against France, without even consulting the government of the United States, has received the most marked contempt from a quarter least expected, even from merchants, who, until of late, were highly federal. In Portland, and some other commercial towns, it has broke up the Junto influence in their insurance offices—the merchants and underwriters are unwilling to rest the fate of their adventures, upon the hot-headed proceedings of the bar, pulpit and funding gentry, who are too apt to try their experiments at the expense of the men whose property is exposed abroad.—Some of these anarchy advocates, not long since, demanded the reason of some merchants, why, in defiance of the vote of the town, they obeyed the laws of the U. S.? to which was replied, by the exporting gentlemen, if we are eventually compelled by government, to pay the forfeiture of refusing the law, at whose expense will it be—yours or ours?—The anarchy fraternity took the hint and retired.
NON-INTERCOURSE.
Extract from a letter dated Wallingford City, February 27, 1809.
The Non-Intercourse Bill has this day passed in the House by a majority of 81 to 40; two federalists voting with the majority, and three more, among whom were Messrs. Livermore and Taggart of Massachusetts, choosing at that moment to be absent.
The following are the principal provisions of the Non-Intercourse Bill—1st, interdicting the entrance of the ports of the United States to all armed British or French vessels excepting dispatch vessels packets, &c. immediately; repealing the law on which the interdictory proclamation is founded, and thus placing both those nations on the same footing in that respect.—2d interdicting the entrance of their merchant vessels after the 20th of May.—3d. prohibiting the importation of all goods from those countries or their dependencies, or of their growth, produce or manufacture, after the 20th of May, and repealing at that time the partial Non-Importation law passed in 1806.—4th. raising the Embargo so as to permit our vessels to trade to all parts of the world excepting Great Britain, France and their dependencies after the 15th of March.—5th. repealing the whole of the embargo laws at the close of the next session of Congress, and limiting the continuance of the whole Non-Intercourse system to the same period. The effect of this system is to leave at that time the whole subject of our foreign relations open to the next Congress, and the next administration; placing both the belligerents on exactly the same footing, and removing all plausible pretexts against negotiation on the part of Great Britain.—In fact while it is if effectually executed, a stronger measure on our part than the embargo, it holds out at the same time those pledges of conciliation to G. Britain which she must see if she is disposed to do it.—You will perceive that a considerable number of republicans voted against it, as it was in their view yielding her too much, and taking a less decisive attitude than we ought to do. However, I think that this, if necessary, ought to be left to the next Congress and administration, who will have the whole field open before them.—if our just demands are not before that time ceded to us. As to the amount of trade which this system will afford to our merchants, they can best judge; the federalists have heretofore contended that they could carry on a very great portion of our customary trade, which was not interfered with by the orders and decrees: the Non Intercourse allows much more than this, and it is hoped that they will have no complaints on this score. As to its comparative operation upon the two belligerents were it intended as a system of much continuance, I am inclined to think it would not be very unequal. The superior advantages which Great Britain will get from our indirect trade over France, owing to her exclusive means of navigation, will about balance the more general exclusion of her manufactures from this country. This consideration is mentioned to show that the system is not only equal and impartial as it respects those powers in form, but as much so in substance as the nature of our relations with them admits of. However, it ought not I think to be calculated upon as an abiding system—it will be for the next Congress either to continue or modify it, or to change it entirely, and take such a new attitude as the circumstances of the times, and the spirit of the nation may then call for. The present one is like every other great national measure, in some degree a system of accommodation, and though it may not exactly suit the views of every one, may perhaps afford as general satisfaction as any other course, which in the peculiar circumstances of the country and of the world could have obtained.
The surprise of the federal writers, that the opponents of Judge Smith, should leave his private character untouched, is perfectly natural in those whose constant practice it has been, to vilify and abuse, the most prominent virtues of our country. The Republicans, in this case, as in all others, have examined only the public character of the federal candidate.—They have weighed him in the balance, and found him wanting in those essential requisites, which obtain the suffrages, of a free, united and independent people.
A correspondent remarks, that amongst the consistent inconsistencies of federalism, which are daily appearing, a most striking one was produced by the priests of the Oracle on Saturday last.
That paper which has echoed every misrepresentation; which has raved, scolded, sworn and cried about the embargo for fifteen months past; and which has uttered groan for groan with all the "Junto" papers,—was published on Saturday & sent into the country by thousands, without once mentioning the passage of the law repealing the embargo as to the friendly powers, although that law with the President's signature attached to it was received in town on Thursday.
The legislature of Massachusetts have passed a resolution reprehending Lieut. Gov. Lincoln for ordering out the militia, at command of the President, to aid the execution of the embargo laws. From the turn the debate on this business took it would appear that the constitution of the United States, and the laws of congress are not the supreme laws of the land! The ayes in favor of the resolution were 172—noes 104.
THE EMBARGO TELLS.
The Federal Faction in Congress have repeatedly asserted, that the Embargo was not felt in England; that we were injuring ourselves, and benefiting Great Britain, by restricting Commerce. How far these Declarations are founded in truth, let the reader judge, after perusing the following: Extract of a letter, from a Father in England, to his Son in Pittsburgh, dated Stavely Bridge, 7 Miles from Manchester (Eng) October 16, 1808.
"We have almost determined to emigrate to the U. S. but freight is now enormously high. They are asking 25s. per Maa. We had better be transported to Botany Bay, than to live in England; for the American Embargo has totally put a stop to all kinds of Trade. At this time there is not one half of the factories running; and those that are, work only 3 or 4 days in the week: and we never work by candle light, as candles are from 13d. to 15d. Sterling per lb. and the workmen only receive 8-1-2d. per lb. for 90's wett. (90 Hanks to the lb.) and all numbers in proportion. Some thousands are entirely out of employ; and hundreds are starving for want of Food in this Neighborhood. Nothing is going forward, but Shopbreaking, Housebreaking, and Robberies of every description; so I leave you to judge the dreadful situation we must be in, in England. Provisions have risen to an unprecedented Price. Flour is 3s. 6d. per 12lb. Meal 25s per peck of 10lb. Cheese, 9d. per lb. Butter 1/4 per lb. Beef, 5d. per lb. Pork, 7-1-2 per lb. And all other Articles in proportion. This Letter is not a forgery. The Original can be seen at this office. We hope after this, that the American Embargo has more effect upon Britain, than her Agents and Partisans in Congress, have heretofore been willing to acknowledge. [Trent. Amer.]
Extract of a letter from Newry, in Ireland, to a person in Philadelphia, dated Nov. 20, 1808.
"If the embargo be continued much longer, this country will be ruined; the people are at present driven to desperation. Tobacco is now sold at 4s 4d, per lb. and flax that formerly sold at 7s. per stone, is now 30s —and no flaxseed for the ensuing spring, so that if none arrives from America, the consequence that will ensue must prove fatal, as the people of the north of Ireland depend altogether upon the linen business."
Yesterday departed this life, JOHN PENHALLOW, Esq. merchant, in the 83th year of his age. Newspaper eulogies and funeral sermons, are too often tainted with partiality and injustice. Notwithstanding these errors, praise is the reward of merit, and in the present instance, when virtue may be promoted and vice reclaimed, justice demands a public tribute. Mr. PENHALLOW descended from pious and honorable ancestors, and tho' deprived of his parents while in infancy, he was soon initiated in the rudiments of virtue, and was carefully instructed in the principles of morality and honor. His progress in those essential parts of education, fully answered the expectation of his patron, and also verified Solomon's assertion in the education of children; for when he was advanced in years he did not depart from those principles imbibed in early life,—affection warmed his feeling heart, the effect of which was the approbation and happiness of those of whom he held most dear. Nor were the duties of his family neglected, its real welfare brought into exercise the cardinal virtues, and called into action latent principles. Charity, humanity and integrity were conspicuous traits in his character. As a member of the church, he was exemplary; and long done to the honor of his profession, and benefit of others, a faithful disciple of Jesus. He derived great consolation from the principles of christianity; nor was he ashamed to avow his belief in the doctrines of the cross. During his last painful sickness, he was peculiarly patient, and entirely resigned to the dispensation of heaven. Terrestrial enjoyments he conceived of little or no consequence in comparison to those rich blessings promised in the Gospel. We trust our friend has commenced a participation of those blessings; is relieved from his christian warfare, and transported to the peaceful abode of just men made perfect, where sin and sorrow have no existence.
When worth like his expires, Relations keenly feel the pangs of grief; "Society receives a wound," and christians, High in faith, have cause to mourn. This solemn Scene has showed the mind with awful gloom; And the subtle soul's alarm'd at what will be Its future destiny. Great GOD imparts These truths upon our hearts; that virtue, is The only road to bliss; all other paths, Tho' strewn with beauteous flowers, will lead The traveller, far, far from where he aims. That those who imitate our friend, deceased, Shall rise triumphant, o'er the fears of death, And live like him, to happiness eternal, With the Saints of GOD. His remains will be deposited in the sepulchre of his fathers, with sure and certain expectation of a resurrection to life eternal. The procession will move from his late mansion house, on the morrow at four o'clock, where relations and friends are requested to attend the obsequies of the deceased.
