The Monosyllable One, or Unanimity.
It was the saying of Antiphines, that unity among the Counsellors was the most impregnable fortification of a State.
Agefelaus being asked why Sparta was not walled round? pointing to the citizens all in arms, and ready to defend the Commonwealth with one consent at the hazard of their lives, these, said he, are Sparta's walls.
When Scipio Africanus overcame the Numantians, he asked their Prince how it came to pass, that Numantia was formerly so victorious, but now overcome and conquered! Concord, said he, precludes victory, but discord destruction.
Micipsa, on his death-bed, admonished his sons to be at unity among themselves. By unity, said he, a mole-hill will become a mountain, but by discord a mountain a mole-hill.
Many brooks meeting together in one, make a swelling and overflowing river; but the greatest river may be so divided into rills or rivulets, as to render it no longer formidable.
Without this great operative and irresistible principle, society is an incoherent mass, a throng, a multitude, but not a body.
But where this principle operates invariably and universally, from the center to the extremities, and from the extremities to the center, without ceasing, relaxation, or diminution, every man stands for the defence, the support, and the protection of all, and all for the defence, the support, and protection of every man.
There is, saith the ancient, concord, an union worse than discord. Men go to mischief often in shoals, in companies, in bodies, in societies. The union of thieves is plunder, of traitors conspiracy, of murderers death.
Men may agree and go together in that which is criminal, have a firm heart, a merry heart, and but one heart in the grossest profligacy. Like the Council of Calcutta, their minds may be unanimous, their hands joined, and their feet swift to shed innocent blood.
 But how many ways are things said to be one?  1. Naturally ; as, The fowl and body. The sun and his beams. A tree and its branches. The body and its faculties. The earth and her inhabitants.  2. Artificially ; as, Wood and stone make one house. The four elements make one world. Man and woman make one flesh.  3. Mysteriously ; as, Truth and falsehood make one argument. Light and shade make one colour. Riches and poverty make one lot. Great and small make one end. How many ways may one be made of many? 
In the proper solution of this point, consists the whole art of government. The great work of creation was finished by thus reducing confusion to order, and no popular Assembly can be properly managed without inspiring its various members with one principle of action, and breathing into each and all of them one soul, one aim, one resolution. And this may be done
 By aggregation ; as, By many stones laid together is made one heap. By many houses erected on one spot is made one city. By many States united under one head is made one empire.  Or by composition and mixture ; as, Of water and honey is made sweet drink. Of sharps and flats is made charming music. Of various principles is made one engine.  Or by alteration ; as, Of many grapes is made one vessel of wine. Of many fowls is made one religion. Of many forms is made one constitution of Government. 
What are the principal acceptations of this Monosyllable One in our language?
It imports eminent, or singular dignity. Division weakens, and weakness degrades; but union strengthens, consolidates, and renders of the most discordant materials, one substantial and permanent structure.
It imports simplicity, and discriminates in architecture the Grecian from the Gothic; in life, the man from the mimic; in morality, the honest man from the rascal; in politics, the true statesman from the impostor.
It imports a multitude's aggregate community, and includes equally all the parts of the whole, and the whole of every part; the servant as well as his master; the soldier as well as his General, and the citizen as well as his legislator. M.
Observations on the Passions.
PEOPLE have a custom of excusing the enormities of their conduct by talking of their passions, as if they were under the controul of a blind necessity, and limited because they could not help it. Before any man resorts to this kind of excuse it behoves him to examine the justice of it, and to be sure that these passions, which he thus attempts to palliate, are strictly natural, and do not spring either from the neglect of education or the crime of self-indulgence.
Of our infancy, properly so called, we either remember nothing, or few things faintly and imperfectly; some passions however make their appearance in this stage of human life, and appear to be born with us, others are born after us; some follow us to the grave, others forsake us in the decline of age.
The life of man is to be viewed under three periods, infancy, youth and manhood. The first includes that portion of time before reason shews itself; in the second it appears indeed, but being incompetent to the proper government of the creature, requires the aid, support and correction of education; in the third it attains to its maturity.
Now as a person's responsibility bears respect to his reason, so do human punishments bear respect to his responsibility: infants and boys are chastised by the hand of the parent or the master; rational beings are amenable to the laws, and what is termed a chief in the first case becomes a crime in the other. It will not avail the man to plead loss of reason by temporary intoxication, nor can he excuse himself by the plea of any sudden impulse of passion.
If a prisoner tells his Judge that it is his nature to be cruel, that anger, lust or malice are inherent in his constitution, no human tribunal will admit the defence; yet thus it is that all people deal with God and the world, when they attempt to palliate their enormities, by pleading the unconquerable propensity of their natural desires, as if the Creator had set up a tyrant in their hearts, which they were necessitated to obey.
This miserable subterfuge is no less abject than impious; for what can be more degrading to a being, whose inherent attribute is free-agency, and whose distinguishing faculty is reason, than to shelter himself from the dread of responsibility under the humiliating apology of mental slavery? It is as if he should say, Excuse the irregularities of my conduct, for I am a brute and not a man; I follow instinct and renounce all claim to reason; my actions govern me, not I my actions; —and yet the people to whom I allude generally set up this plea in excuse for those passions in particular, which have their origin in that stage of life when the human mind is in the use and possession of reason; an imposition so glaring that it convicts itself; notwithstanding this it is too often seen, that whilst the sensualist is avowing the irresistible violence of his propensities, vanity shall receive it not only as an atonement for the basest attempts, but as an expected tribute to the tempting charms of beauty; nay, such is the perversion of principle in some men, that it shall pass with them as a recommendation even of that sex, the purity of whose minds should be their sovereign grace and ornament.
The passion of fear seems coeval with our nature: If they who have our infancy in charge suffer this passion to fix and increase upon us; if they augment our infant fears by invented terrors, and present to our sight frightful objects to scare us: if they practise upon our natural and defenceless timidity by blows and menaces, and crush us into absolute subjection of spirit in our early years; a human creature thus abused has enough to plead in excuse for cowardice; and yet this, which is the strongest defence we can make upon the impulse of passion, is perhaps the only one we never resort to: In most other passions we call that constitution, which is only habit.
When we reflect upon the variety of passions to which the human mind is liable, it should seem as if reason, which is expressly implanted in us for their correction and controul, was greatly overmatched by such a host of turbulent insurgents; but upon a closer examination we may find that reason has many aids and allies, and though her antagonists are also many and mighty, yet that they are divided and distracted; whilst she can in all cases turn one passion against another, so as to counterbalance any power by its opposite, and make evil instruments in her hands conducive to moral ends. Avarice, for instance, will act as a counterpoise to lust and intemperance, whilst vanity on the other hand will check avarice; fear will keep a bad man honest, and pride will sometimes make a coward brave.

The following extraordinary relation is delivered by Dr. Ignatius Wetzzeck, Physician to the King of Poland; a gentleman well known in the literary world, whose veracity is said to be unquestionable.
A young lady, about twenty-three years of age, being in a state of deep despondency, at different times, in the space of about two months, swallowed a great number of extraneous substances, among which were several keys, one of which measured about three inches in length (which she confessed she forced down her throat with great difficulty by means of a probe) nails, needles, different pieces of gold, silver, and copper coin, glass, &c. In this deplorable state the unhappy lady languished twenty-two weeks; during the whole of which time she was afflicted with an incessant nausea, and with frequent and painful vomiting of a acetic, blackish fluid. After death, her stomach, on dissection, was found in a very diseased state, its inner surface being everywhere inflamed and ulcerated. It contained, to the astonishment of the bye-standers, besides the articles already mentioned, two penknives, the blades of which were separated from the handles; the handles of six table spoons, and the bowls of 3 others, which had been bent by the patient to enable them to pass into the stomach. Some other instances of a similar kind may be met with in the philosophical transactions about the beginning of the present century.
UNITED STATES.
B O S T O N. Jan. 12.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
By his Excellency JAMES BOWDOIN, Esq. Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
ADDRESS, to the good People of the Commonwealth.
A spirit of discontent, originating in supposed grievances, having, in the course of the last fall, stimulated many of the citizens in several of the counties of this Commonwealth, to the commission of acts subversive of government, and of the peace and security derived from it, I thought it expedient to assemble, & accordingly did assemble, the General Court for the special purpose of considering those grievances, & all complaints whatever, & if possible, removing the causes of them. A patient and candid attention was paid to the business of the Session, and every relief given, consistent with the existence of government, and the principles of equal justice. These the Legislature could not infringe, without bringing upon themselves the detestation of mankind, and the frowns of Heaven.
But relief was not the only object, upon which the General Court bestowed their attention. In tenderness to the misguided, and in hopes of reclaiming the obstinate, an act of indemnity was passed for all the outrages, which had been committed against law, and the officers of it, upon this mild condition alone, that the perpetrators should return to a due submission to lawful authority; and, as a test of their sincerity, should, before the first day of January following, take and subscribe the oaths of allegiance, required by the constitution.
In addition to these measures, the state of the treasury, the expenditure of monies received, the situation of our foreign and domestic debt, and other important matters, were, in particular detail, communicated to the people, by an address from the Legislature. In that address they were also informed, of the dangerous and destructive tendency of popular insurrections; and the insurgents were conjured, in the most serious and persuasive manner, to desist from their lawless conduct, lest they should involve themselves and their country in ruin. But, what have been the consequences?—The measures intended for giving them satisfaction and indemnity have been spurned at: And since the publication of those measures, the same insurgents have frequently embodied, and with a military force, repeatedly interrupted the Judicial Courts in the counties of Hampshire and Worcester; which demonstrates, that the government is held by them at open defiance; and that the laws are, in those counties, laid prostrate.
By a resolve of the 24th of October, the Legislature expressed their full confidence, that the Governor would persevere in the exercise of the powers, vested in him by the constitution, for enforcing due obedience to the authority and laws of government; and for preventing any attempts to interrupt the administration of law and justice; upon which the peace and safety of the Commonwealth so essentially depend.
In the present dangerous and critical situation of affairs; I feel myself constrained by the most sacred obligations of duty, and for the purposes intended by the Legislature, to call those powers into immediate exercise, for the protection of the Commonwealth, against the attempts of all persons who shall enterprize its destruction, invasion, detriment or annoyance: And I have accordingly, pursuant to my own ideas of duty, as well as the expectations of the General Court, ordered a part of the militia to assemble in arms, for the purpose of protecting the Judicial Courts next to be holden in the county of Worcester; of aiding the civil magistrate to execute the laws; of repelling all insurgents against the government; and of apprehending all disturbers of the public peace.
It is now become evident, that the object of the insurgents is to annihilate our present happy constitution, or to force the General Court into measures repugnant to every idea of justice, good faith, and national policy: And those who encourage, or in any way assist them, either individually, or in a corporate capacity, do partake of their guilt; and will be legally responsible for it.
Success, on the part of the insurgents, in either of those views, must be destructive of civil liberty, and of the important blessings derived from it: and as it would be the result of force, undirected by any moral principle, it must finally terminate in despotism—despotism in the worst of its forms.
Is then the goodly fabric of freedom, which cost us so much blood and treasure, so soon to be thrown into ruins?—Is it to stand but just long enough, and for no other purpose than, to flatter the tyrants of the earth in their darling maxim, that mankind are not made to be free?
The present is certainly a most interesting period; and if we wish to support that goodly fabric and to avoid domestic slavery, men of principle, the friends of justice and the constitution, must now take their stations, and unite under the government in every effort for suppressing the present commotions and all insurrections whatever, or be infamously accessory to their own and their country's ruin. But in such an union, should they prove as firm in the support of justice and the constitution, as the insurgents have been obstinate in trampling them under their feet, the force of government will have so decided a superiority as to put an end to the present convulsions, and restore a regular administration of law, without the horrors of bloodshed, and a civil war: which I most ardently deprecate; and will strenuously endeavour to prevent.
But unless such a force appears, those, which indeed are the greatest of national evils, seem inevitable.
If the constitution is to be destroyed, and insurrection stalk unopposed by authority, individuals, as they regard their own happiness and freedom, will, from necessity, combine for defence, and meet force with force; or voluntarily and ingloriously relinquish the blessings, without which life would cease to be desirable; and which, by the laws of God and nature ought never to be tamely surrendered.
What would be the end of such events, is known only to Him, who can open the volume and read the pages of futurity.
Strongly impressed with the truth of these ideas, I must conjure the good people of the Commonwealth, as they value life and the enjoyments of it, as they regard their own characters, and the dignity of human nature, to summon up every virtuous principle within them, and to co-operate with government in every necessary exertion, for restoring to the Commonwealth that order, harmony and peace, upon which its happiness and character so essentially depend.

PROVIDENCE, January 13.

An act laying duties of excise on certain articles therein described, to take place the 15th of May next, and the monies collected to be appropriated to the discharge of notes and orders given by the General Treasurer, and the contingent charges of government. An act for raising the impost to five per cent.

RICHMOND, January 10.
At four o'clock on Monday morning last, the inhabitants of this city were alarmed by a fire, which broke out at an uninhabited house near Mr. Anderson's tavern. The wind being up, and the house old and dry, this turbulent element quickly spread its flames around, communicating to houses in three directions, which threw all into confusion, and would have baffled the most expert firemen; a line was formed for the purpose of conveying water to the engine, but through the unskilfulness of many, the line was often broke, and thrown into confusion, and to add to the misconduct, an engine was quitted in the middle of the street which was nearly destroyed. By active exertions, Byrd's tobacco warehouse was many times extinguished, but at last, the number of fiery coals which fell, put an end to every attempt, being burnt, with about 200 hogheads of tobacco, and 160 was saved. When the warehouse was burning the fire was at its height, and the scene truly melancholy, raging with unconquerable fury after three hours violence, and destroying a square of the principal houses and stores, it abated, leaving a dreadful vestige of its dire effects, and several worthy characters in opulence and ease, nearly deprived of their all. Alas, how uncertain are earthly possessions; this young city, about rearing its head in point of trade, &c. receives a check from that unconquerable element. From a rough estimate, the loss exceeds 100,000.
The principal sufferers who lost their houses, &c. are as follows:—Anderson, Younghusband and Rawlin's tavern; Mrs. Craig's Coffee-house; Dr. Foushe's shop; Dixon and Holt's printing-office. The following merchant stores:—Pennock and Co. Graves, Paine, Duncan, Hollingsworth and Johnson, Warrington, Stockdell, Deane, Quarrier, Nimmo, Rutherford, Groves, Bank, James and Macomb, W. Galt, Southgate, Gilliat, Hay, Anderson and Co. and Ganot; which with private houses, make about 43 burnt. Also some stables and warehouses.
On this disastrous occasion, we can boast of characters, whose benevolence, activity, unwearied exertions and philanthropic dispositions dignify human nature; the remembrance of whom, will gratefully live in the minds of their fellow citizens.
At a meeting of citizens, on Monday afternoon, convened at Mr. Trower's tavern, by desire of his Excellency the Governor, who attended, the following paper was read by paragraphs, and unanimously agreed to
This meeting most sincerely sympathizing in the distresses of the citizens of Richmond, occasioned by the fire of this morning— Resolve , 1st. That they will relieve their suffering brethren as far as they can, and will labour to provide houses for such, as are unable to provide for themselves.
2d. That it is the duty of every citizen possessing houses to be rented, to reduce, rather than to increase the rent on this melancholy occasion.
3d. That Col. Harvie, Col. Adams, Mr. A. Ronald, and Mr. R. Mitchel, be appointed to receive donations from citizens and others, for the relief of such of the sufferers as will give in their names.
4th. That the same gentlemen be a Committee for the purpose of distributing the donations.
5th. That the said Committee ought to divide the goods saved, among those entitled, where no owner can be ascertained.

ANNAPOLIS, January 4.
The following extract of a letter is inserted at the pressing request of a correspondent:
"I have strong hopes that our Senate will stand firm against the money bill—the threat of disbanding and of appealing to the people, ought to be spurned with contempt—The Senate have nothing to fear—almost every rational disinterested man of my acquaintance looks up to them on this great occasion—if they act with becoming spirit, and exhibit to the public view that patriotic zeal for the general good which we believe they possess, the friends of public virtue will step forth and exert their influence to support them."
BALTIMORE, January 12.
Captain Crawford, in the ship Helena, who arrived a few days ago, at Norfolk, (after a hazardous passage of 14 weeks) from Greenock, informs, that on the 29th of November, he spoke the Ann, from Baltimore, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, three days out.

The commander's name was not remembered by Capt. Campbell.—On the 18th ult. Capt. Sisson also spoke Capt. William Worth, in a Schooner from Nantucket, bound to Trinidad; out 14 days.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Annapolis, to the editor of this paper, dated on Saturday last.
"The Senate yesterday returned the bill for an emission of paper money, on loan, with their negative. The House of delegates have ordered the substance of the bill to be published, for the information of their constituents. The Senate rejected

the bill, several days ago, but delayed to send it down, to prepare a message, containing their reasons for their negative.
"Your country Court, which stands adjourned to Monday next, is adjourned by act of Assembly to the fourth Monday of this month."
NEW-YORK, JANUARY 26.
We hear from Boston, that the leaders of the mob, to the number of about forty, had a meeting on Friday the 12th instant at Barre; when it was determined to include and forward to his Excellency and the Council, that farrago of nonsense and stupidity, called, "the petition of a Committee from several towns in the county of Worcester, &c."—which was agreed upon by the mob at Worcester, at the time the court was to have sat there last, and has appeared in several of the public papers,—with an apology for not sending it sooner. It seems that they did send it about a fortnight ago, but the messenger was afraid, it is said to, deliver it, on account of the many lies, as well as the many wicked misrepresentations contained in it, and the execrable tendency of it in general. This meeting of the leaders was adjourned to Tuesday the 16th, when they were to determine upon the expediency of appearing, with all their force, at Worcester next week, and establishing and continuing a standing army.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Worcester, dated January 16.
"We have this day raised our quota of men for the expedition, about 60.—Reports are, that the insurgents will not show themselves at our Court; and I am told many of them cry out, What shall we do to be saved? "
"The leaders of the insurgents, I am told, met this day at Rutland, to consult what was best for them to do; but have not heard of the result."
Extract from the Journals of the House of Representatives of the State of New-Hampshire, Jan. 4.
"The Committee on paper money returns, reported, That 400 persons voted for the plan—697 against it—37 for various alterations and amendments—11 against the various alterations & amendments, and 12, 8 against paper money on any plan. M. Thornton, for the Committee. "
We are informed that the Medical Society, formerly established in Philadelphia, has lately exerted itself to regain its original reputation.—For this purpose, we are told, that a revival of their laws, and the institution, are to be objects of their most serious consideration—and in the line of their profession, a few young gentlemen have appeared with greater zeal, than those who have already been admitted into a society, which formerly added dignity to the University of Pennsylvania, and respectability to the members of the Medical Society.
We hear from Ireland, that the celebrated Mr. O'Connor of the county of Roscommon, who had been charged with rebellion, and claiming the title of King O'Connor, was tried and honorably acquitted on the 27th of September.
The Caledonian atmosphere begins, in spite of every ministerial fog, to brighten up beneath the saving sunshine of reform. The struggles of the people rise superior to every base trammel, while the traitors of the common cause sculk from the flash of truth, and bury their political iniquities in the pit of corruption. This is the epoch of enlightened revolutions. America has shot the precipitate career that bore away her liberties in its headlong fury.—Holland spurns the hand of unconstitutional authority, and Scotland virtuously aspires to pull down that super-eminent structure, where despotism held its tyrannical abode, while we can only say,—Go on, and prosper.

POET'S CORNER.
To AMANDA.
IN vain did beauteous Heaven bestow Those native charms that round thee glow; That gentle unaffected mien, That look so candid and serene. Where chasten'd beauty beams intense Amid the smiles of innocence; Had not th' indulgent hand of fate, Intent to crown thy happy state, With sacred sense enrich'd thy soul, To guide and dignify the whole; Sense, that will ev'ry thought refine, Stamp all thy social joys divine, And firm preserve affection's tie, Ev'n when the lustre leaves that eye; When all those charms that bloom to-day, With transient youth shall flee away.
