A brief sketch of the political parties which have existed in Pennsylvania.
For some time previous to the revolution the royal and proprietary parties, with alternate success, agitated the inhabitants of the province, and gave ample exercise and amusement to the quidnuncs of those days. The quakers took the lead on the side of the latter, and the presbyterians on that of the former, and many a well fought day attested, that their force and numbers were pretty well balanced—warmth and violence were often exhibited in those trials of strength; means and measures resorted to, which probably latter times have not surpassed. The famous contest of two rival Burgesses, which lasted two days, and ended in a numerical equality of votes, leave on record a curious instance of political industry and perseverance. Whilst those controversies were in full operation, the important subject of opposition to the court of St. James, called off the attentions of the citizens of British America, from their domestic broils. In Pennsylvania the parties were totally broken up and the sects of
WHIG AND TORY
embraced the whole community, without any relations to the former divisions. The tory party being but a small minority, and their creed involving a question which was immediately determined against them by the general voice of the country, they withdrew from the lists. The whigs were shortly after thrown into two divisions.
REPUBLICANS and CONSTITUTIONALISTS, on the merit of a constitution already formed for the state: the latter party held themselves devoted to this form of government, which consisted of a single branch of legislation, on whose proceedings the executive had no control. The republicans professed to favor a system of checks, by a double house of legislature and a qualified executive veto.
Those parties were presently at issue. The Constitutionalists, although possessed of the government, it is probable, never possessed a majority in the state, but their being in place, and supported by a large portion of enterprise and violence, withstood the shocks of their opponents for several years. They lost ground, however with every effort until at length having suffered a great diminution of numbers, and almost an entire destitution of respectability, they merged in the all important parties of
FEDERALISTS AND ANTIFEDERALISTS.
The state constitution was new modelled about this time, according to the views and principles of the republicans as above mentioned, and went into operation without any serious opposition.
Federal politics now filled the whole country and absorbed every other political consideration. In this state the federalists sat out, possessing not only their share in the administration of the general government, but triumphed in a prodigious majority at home in numbers, and still greater in talents, wealth and respectability.
The antifederalists, in great dismay, but not in despair, proceeded to organize their broken ranks and collect their scattered forces. The wreck of the ancient constitutional party who had been some time wandering like a cashiered regiment, threw in a most welcome supply of recruits of the genuine stamp. Now emboldened they opened a correspondence with the malcontents of the neighbouring states, fraternized with all sorts of foreign adventurers, and by a hardy use of the atrocious means of jacobin misrule, began to render themselves formidable. Twelve years from the establish-
ment of the government brought to maturity the machinations of the opposition and terminated the political career of the federalists.
How this event was brought about, and the use that has been made of it, is well recollected by all. To the enlightened patriot, whose laudable ambition would prompt him to bestow a great benefit to his country, I consign the duty of recording the particulars of this political catastrophe, whilst I proceed to the workings of the present day.
The actual majority, as if doomed to fulfil the evil prophecies of their antagonists, were hardly in complete possession of power till they began to manifest the truth of what had been often foretold of them, namely, "that they were composed of such heterogeneous materials, particularly in this state, as could not long hold together." They have accordingly separated into two grand divisions, under the titles of FRIENDS OF THE CONSTITUTION, and FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE, alias Republicans and Jacobins, alias Tertiam Quids and Revolutionists. The former of these parties are zealous supporters of the existing state constitution, their adversaries are as strenuous for its alteration or destruction. The model aimed at, by their own account, bears a strong resemblance to the former state constitution, and must necessarily if obtained, produce nearly the same effects upon society.
The state of Pennsylvania consequently at present appears to exhibit the singular phenomenon of being agitated by three political parties at one and at the same time. This appearance, however, is not altogether supported by fact, for between the two recently formed parties, the differences on the subject of federal politics, are not supposed to be many, and between the friends of the constitution and the party ci-devant styled federalists, in relation to state politics, there is perhaps no difference at all. It will be observed by this statement, that we are now brought back to nearly the same situation of party as existed in the state previous to the adoption of the federal constitution.
On the subject of those various changes of parties, I add but a single observation, they appear in no instance to have been the effect of any public coalition or specific agreement, but arose from an involuntary union of the best interests of the state, originating in favour of some great and salutary measures,* and were then decomposed by the ordinary means of opposition in democracies.
OBSERVER.
* The adoption of the first state constitution is an exception to this in the opinion of many—But I apprehend not—that form of government was probably most suitable at the time, though it certainly ceased to be so long before it was cancelled.
NEW-YORK, July 20.
Yesterday arrived at this port the brig Eliza; captain Burgess, in 12 days from Havanna. By this vessel we have undoubted information, that the combined fleet, or that part at least, composed by the Spanish ships under admiral Gravina, were confidently expected at Havanna: It is no doubt true, that letters were recently received there, addressed to admiral Gravina, the Spanish admiral, directed to the care of the captain general of marines. It was currently reported, and relieved, that the Spanish part of the fleet, supported by some French ships would go to Le Vera Cruz, take in the treasure there, (said to amount to 25 millions of dollars) and touch at Havanna on the homeward-bound passage. This object is, doubtless, important enough to justify the report. In fact it was not doubted at all in Havanna.
The following interesting narrative has been received from captain Leeth Smith, of the brig Iris, of this port, on his passage to Liverpool, dated
"At Sea, Tuesday morning, June 25th, in lat. 41, N. long. 57, W."
"DEAR SIR,
"On Sunday last, in lat. 41, 50, long. 58, 30, I fell in with the brig Lion of New York, a wreck, having no masts standing, no bowsprit, her head on, one mast along side, her quarter boards all good, her bulwarks nearly gone, and one anchor on the forecastle. A Boston brig was fast to her, and had been so for twenty four hours; the men on board were cutting up the decks to get out the cargo. She was level with the water a midships, quarter deck all above water though she was full. I knowing her, told the master of the Boston brig her name, the captain's name, how long she had been out, and whither she was bound, desiring him to be particular in reporting her immediately after his arrival. He told me they had found one dead man on board, and that every thing appeared as if she had been struck with lightning. She sits upright as a dill; and this brig will no doubt get a great deal out of her, as she was light. I told the captain that the Lion had two good boats on board when she left New York; and, as so many articles were left unwashed away from the deck, I was in hopes the crew had been fortunate enough to effect their escape. If any of them are gone in the boats, I pray God they may arrive at some port in safety. I am, sir, your humble servant. LEE SMITH.
"P. S. I should have gone on board to see the body of the dead man; but the wind blew fresh, and night was fast approaching.
"Should this be the first intelligence of this distressing event, be so kind as to inform the wife and family of capt. Clark, who reside at Brooklyn, and with whom I am intimate.
"I send this by the brig Star, captain Simmons, for Providence, R. I."

TUESDAY, JULY 23.
The following singular paragraph is from the Portsmouth Oracle. We presume it exposes some blunder of the legislature of New Hampshire, by which they have done more than they intended:
NATIONAL BANK TREMBLING!
The enlightened legislature of New Hampshire, by an act passed June 14, 1805, have annexed a penalty of twenty Dollars, to be recovered by indictment, upon any person who shall, after the first day of August next, issue or pass any note, bill, order or check of the bank of the United States!
A letter from General James Robertson one of the commissioners appointed to treat with the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek nations of Indians, to a gentleman near this place, dated, "Chickasaw nation, May 28, 1805" mentions, that there are the most flattering prospect of concluding the treaty; that George Colbert, had stepped forward and used all his exertions, in favor of it, and that the commissioners would set out the next day for the Choctaw nation, accompanied by Chickasaw chiefs.
[Nashville paper.]
We seldom make any remarks upon European politics, sensible that whatever we might make must be, generally speaking, the mere effect of imbecile conjecture. A few desultory observations we, however, deem it proper to make, to expose some highly erroneous opinions entertained by some of our democrats. We have seen in some papers the expression of a wish that the power of the English navy may be so lessened as to yield to that of France; we have heard the servid expression, by some democrats, of a wish that the long threatened invasion of England may soon be undertaken, and with success, on the part of the French.
Has any man of this description duly considered the consequences that must inevitably result from a destruction of the British naval force? or the consequences of a conquest of England by France? Dreadful consequences to Europe; the certainly ruinous consequences to us?
What will be the effect on Europe? Almost half Europe is already subjugated to the power of Bonaparte:—weaken or destroy the British navy, and the rest of Europe will shortly yield.—The French navy would strengthen in double proportion to the weakening of the English, and soon by land and by water, Napoleon becomes almost the monarch of the globe. How soon would both the East and the West Indies be his. Destroy the British navy, and his they will become. Where would be our commerce? Will not men think? On the south and in Canada, we should have French neighbors. There is a strange infatuation that prevents some men from thinking as common sense suggests.
Bonaparte has been or pretended to be very desirous of peace. For what purpose? Only that he may have time to convert his resources into a vast accumulation of land and naval forces, particularly naval. The conquest of a great part of the world would then be easy. Or do our democrats still entertain an high opinion of Bonaparte's republicanism? Do they believe that his only wish is the extension of the blessings of liberty? The modern Alexander is great in show; Washington was truly great. Bonaparte has conquered for himself; Washington for his country. It is evident that there are no sublinary limitations to Bonaparte's ambition. If he can accomplish more, he will not rest contented with present possessions. England alone, "with tough two handed sway," fights for the yet unconquered parts of Europe; she fights also for America. Europe and America owe vast obligations to England. Britain is no favorite of ours, but mankind owe her heavy debts of gratitude for withstanding a power that aims at the subjugation of mankind. It is not because France has this enormous ascendancy in Europe, but because any

power has it, that we are to dread the approaching consequences to Europe and to ourselves. If England had now a control on the continent equal to that of France; if Germany, Sweden and Denmark were subjugated to Britain; should we not pray for success to the arms of France; should we not rejoice in the strength of a French navy—till the all grasping ambition of a single power should be curbed, and the balance of European power restored. Certainly we should. (Virginia Gazette.)
Extracts from Thomas Paine's New Revolutionary Address, lately published in the New York Citizen.
The succession of constitutions and public characters, is likely to be as rapid, (says the Boston Gazette) and as salutary to the body politic, in this country, as it was in France, under the inventive reign of the Abbe Sieyes. Mr. Randolph is employed about the constitution of the United States, which is most certainly destined, under the specious pretrext of amendments, to be totally changed in form and feature. The Aurora man is preparing a new garment to cover the nakedness of Pennsylvania; and Tom Paine, who has grown tired of the calm of peace and national tranquility, is now laboring to pull down the sanctuary of laws in New York, that he may have the pleasure of witnessing the confusion of tongues in erecting a new one. The motives which actuate the two former are selfish and mercenary; but the latter is governed by those principles of disinterested experimental philosophy which have always characterized his conduct, and which teach man to question the good which is before him, and to march on till the perfect perfectability of government is obtained. In the first address of Mr. Paine to the people of New York, (which he calls an Essay on Governments, Constitutions and Characters) he says—]
The people of Pennsylvania are, at this time, earnestly occupied on the subject of calling a convention to revise their state constitution, and there can be but little doubt that a revision is necessary. It is a constitution, they say, for the emolument of lawyers.
It has happened that the constitutions of all the states were formed before any experience had been had or could be had, on the representative system of government; and it would be a miracle in human affairs, that mere theory without experience, should start into perfection at once. The constitution of New York was formed as early as the year '77. The subject that occupied and engrossed the minds of the public at that time was the revolutionary war and the establishment of independence, and in order to give effect to the declaration of independence by congress, it was necessary that the states severally should make a practicable beginning, by establishing state constitutions and trust to time and experience for improvement. The general defect in all the constitutions is, that they are modelled too much after the system, if it can be called a system, of the English government, which in practice is the most corrupt system in existence, for it is corruption systematised.
An idea also generally prevailed at that time, of keeping, what were called, the legislative, the executive and the judiciary powers, distinct and separated from each other. But this idea whether correct or not, is always contradicted in practice; for where the consent of a governor, or executive, is required to an act before it can become a law, or where he can by his negative prevent an act of the legislature from becoming a law, he is effectually a part of the legislature, and possesses full one half of the powers of a whole legislature.
In this state (New-York) this power is vested in a select body of men composed of the executive, by which is to be understood the governor, the chancellor, and the judges, and called the council of revision. This is certainly better than vesting that power in an individual, if it is necessary to invest it any where. But it is a direct contradiction to the maxim set up, that those powers ought to be kept separate; for here the executive and the judiciary are united into one power, acting legislatively.
When we see maxims that fail in practice, we ought to go to the root and examine if the maxim be true. Now it does not signify, how many nominal divisions, and subdivisions and classifications we make, for the fact is, there are but two powers in any government, the power of willing or enacting the laws, and the power of executing them; for what is called the judiciary is a branch of executive power; it executes the laws; and what is called the executive, is, a superintending power to see that the laws are executed. [Common Sense.]
From the Boston Repository. While we have been laying before the public a variety of documents, relative to Mr. Jefferson's private character, and have necessarily drawn one of the darkest pictures that civilized society can produce, our political opponents have not ceased to assert, though in the face of truth and their own recent complaints, that we have attacked his private character, because we were compelled to approve of his public measures, and of the administration in general.
This, unfortunately, is not the case; would it were so. Nor was it said with any other view but to divert our attention, and rescue the "greatest man" "the immaculate, pious and exemplary President" from the lash of public justice, the well merited lacerations of the press.
But we feel it a duty now to return to the distresses of our country. In the days of Washington and Adams, our commerce either floated securely to every part of the world, or negotiation for redress followed injury, or the strong arm of the nation was extended for the protection of the property of its citizens. Never, never was the commerce of the United States in such a situation as at present. Our vessels are mouldering, cargoes perishing, and individuals, seamen and merchants sinking into poverty in Tortola and other English ports. The French exercise a rapacity not less ferocious and vindictive, than when we were at war. Commissioned and non-commissioned cruisers, either plunder our countrymen on the high seas, or conduct them into port, where with a mock trial or perhaps with none, they are despoiled, and turned out like vagrants, dependent on hospitality for the means of returning to their native country. In Guadalupe, as appears by very recent accounts, some of our countrymen are suffering, in loathsome prisons, worse treatment than English prisoners of war.
The whole trade of St. Domingo is in a most perplexing and unprecedented situation. Our government, in some measure, countenances the trade to that country. Our vessels are suffered to clear at our Custom-houses, for, and to enter from its ports. And while the nation is deriving a large income from that very commerce, those who prosecute it are treated like pirates, and not a gleam of hope appears, that redress will ever be obtained or even sought.
Here is a most striking proof of the imbecility of the administration. Does not common sense say that the trade of St. Domingo ought to be forbidden or protected? It is said our merchants may go or not; the risk is
of their choosing. And pray is not this the very state of a people without government. These vessels go to St. Domingo; if they return, government exacts duties on the cargo, as well as on those which are protected; if they are plundered or captured, condemned or destroyed, government refuses all relationship. This is one feature in the administration of Mr. Jefferson, which we presume, every man of sense and information must condemn as weak, unjust, and disgraceful, and tending to destroy that confidence in government, so essential to the happiness of the country.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 1, 1805. Polygraphick Painting. THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Statehouse Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterized as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "There is none more worthy than Washington." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced to as to leave, comparative merits, no object. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery. (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery. Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms. IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple. One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.
