A correct statement of the sources from which the history of the administration of John Adams was compiled, and the motives for its suppression by Colonel Burr: with some observations on a Narrative, by a Citizen of New York.
By John Wood, author of the said History.
It would be a departure from justice, and from that strict neutrality which we profess to observe between the Clintonians and Burrites, were we to omit to give as full and particular an account of this pamphlet, as we have given of those which have appeared against the Vice president. We have more than once observed, that the guilt or innocence of Mr. Burr must depend on the motives which influenced him to procure the suppression; and that the complexion of those motives must depend principally, if not entirely, on the declarations of Wood. If the author of the "Narrative" is to be believed, Mr. Burr is unquestionably ruined in the opinion of a great proportion of his former political adherents; if not, the attempt to injure him in their good opinion, must recoil with tenfold force on the heads of his assailants. In the pamphlet before us, Mr. Wood unquestionably makes a compleat and found defence for Mr. Burr, and therefore it must now turn on the superior weight of evidence to be attached to Wood, or to the writer of the Narrative. And here the public will judge whether prima facie more credit is not due to him who appears in his own person before them, than to an anonymous writer, who is known to no one, and of course, accountable to no one. It must not, however be forgotten on the other side, that the editors of the Citizen have publicly declared themselves responsible in a court of law for what the pamphlet contains; and whether the answer given by Mr. Burr's friends, that it would be insufferably degrading for the Vice President to descend to a controversy with such men, will be satisfactory we leave to the public to decide— Non nostrum tantum compere lites.
In our extracts this evening we have found it impossible to abridge much; we gave entire that part of the Narrative to which this is an answer, and this renders it necessary to present the defence almost equally unbroken.
"On the 19th of June 1801, I entered into an agreement with Messrs. Barlas and Ward, Booksellers in New York, to write a History of the United States of America, during the administration of president ADAMS." "By our letter of agreement a clause was inserted at the desire of Mr. Barlas, that the work should be finished by the end of August or September. I did not object to the clause at the instant of subscribing the articles, not doubting but Messrs. Barlas and Ward would for their own interest, allow the period to be prolonged if necessary. Previous to the commencement of the work, I had calculated upon my labor, rather as a field of amusement than that of laborious research; it was impossible to have conceived that the annals of a government of a new country, such as the U. States, for four years, should be enveloped in mystery, cabal, and intrigue, and that all the public prints should be a collection of falsehoods fabricated by the hirelings of party; but I soon discovered, that to investigate the truth from volumes of newspapers devoted to opposite interests, would require several years in place of a few months. Before the stipulated period was expired, I communicated my sentiments to Mr. Ward, and requested a prolongation of the period, to which he appeared to give his cordial assent, but upon conversing with Mr. Barlas, they both insisted I suppose from the advice of Barlas that the book should be finished within the time prescribed, otherwise that I would forfeit the penalty that I had agreed upon in my letter of the 19th of June."
"Thus circumstanced, I was under the necessity of abandoning the work. I may say without either proper arrangement or due consideration. These materials were principally collected from the Aurora, Mr. Duane's private letters, and Callender's works, besides some occasional hints I received from gentlemen in New York and Philadelphia."
"My correspondence with Mr. Duane, or rather his letters to me, originated not through Barlas and Ward, as he has stated in his letter in the Aurora but from an application which I made to
him respecting the letters of Curtius: this application was made about the 1st of July and from that time to the month of October, Mr. Duane sent me occasionally, information as to characters and events, sometimes couched in the form of letters, and at other times expressed in the form of history, leaving it to my own discretion to alter the language or not. Notwithstanding this active part which Duane had in the compilation of the history, he is pleased to assert in the Aurora of the 12th of July, that it contains neither veracity or dignity. Such an observation would certainly have proceeded with more propriety from any other critic than Mr. Duane, when the facts furnished by him are well known to be the most false and libelous in the whole book. These facts, as he termed them in his letters, relate principally to Mr. Adams and compose almost all the anecdotes inserted in the history respecting the late President; the fallacy of the story reported to me by Mr. Duane, I was then ignorant of but can assure the public, that I have been informed by persons more respectable than Mr. Duane, that there is not the smallest foundation either for the anecdote of the Alchymist, mentioned in page 503, or for the stories respecting Mr. Adams and Dr. Franklin, related in chapter XII. Mr. Duane was particularly sedulous in his letters requesting that I should by no means omit to describe, in the most pointed manner, the enmity of Mr. Adams towards Dr. Franklin; but upon a fair investigation of this matter, I have discovered that Mr. Adams never displayed any marks of hatred to Dr. Franklin himself, but only towards Bache the printer, who raised Mr. Duane to his present eminence. This was certainly an act of gratitude in Mr. Duane, but that species of gratitude which ought to receive the severest censure, the raising the reputation of a friend at the expence of his enemy, and without having the boldness to execute the stratagem himself, to impose the task upon a stranger. The character given of James Ross, in Pennsylvania, in page 184, was drawn from the Aurora, but as to the truth of the charges there adduced against Mr. Ross, I have not had an opportunity of determining. The probability, however, is, that they are false, as they have been reported by Mr. Duane. The characters given of the members of congress (who voted for the alien and sedition bills, that of Mr. Bingham and Mr. Ross excepted) in the history from page 182 to the end of sixth chapter, were entirely taken from Callender's Prospect, pages 122, 123, 124, 125, 144, 145, 146, and 147, of his first volume. The language is a little altered, but the reader will perceive that the sentiments are the same. The character of Mr. Bingham I obtained from the friends of Mr. Duane when at Philadelphia. I however am induced to suppose by other information, that although Mr. Bingham is not the brightest man in the world, his enemies have extremely exaggerated his faults. The articles entitled BRITISH PIRACY, were entirely extracted from Callender's works, his Sketches of America, and Annual Register. The contents of the sixth chapter of the History, from the commencement to page 168, were drawn from the second chapter of the first volume of Callender's Prospect. The account I have given of Blount's Conspiracy, and the negotiation of this country with the Directory of France, were collected from the Aurora, as also, were my remarks on the Constitution of Connecticut, and the characters of Mr. Trumbull, Mr. Treadwell, Mr. Thomas Seymour, Mr. Aaron Austin, and Mr. David Dagget. These last are to be found in the Aurora of April, 1801.
"The anecdote relating to Mr. Hamilton at the capture of the redoubts at Yorktown, I have read in several histories of the American war; as also in the Anti-Jacobin Review, in reviewing Mr. Hamilton's letter to Mr. Adams; but Mr. Hamilton himself, I am informed denies it."
"Respecting the biography of Mr. Burr, which the writer of the narrative calls a MASTER-PIECE of the hyperbolic; the materials for writing it were not furnished by Mr. Burr, as the narrative erroneously states."
"These were in short the principal sources from which I had compiled my history of the Administration of President Adams. Several trifling incidents, which are scattered through the volume, I received from individuals; but as they are of no moment to one party or another, their detail would be unnecessary, and to
bring before the public their authors would be an improper action. I shall, however, add, that from the sources from which the history in general has been compiled, it would be improper for the reader to place any reliance on the facts which it contains, or to regard the work in any degree as a correct statement of the events which occurred during the administration of Mr. Adams."
After this account of the history and its utter worthlessness, it is not a little curious to hear the act of suppressing it branded as the most aggravated of all possible crimes. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, hypocrites.
Here's a suppression for you! The editor of the Evening Post may rely on the correctness of the following facts, and it is hoped some remarks will be made. A few days since it was communicated to Mr. Wood that he might depend upon it his pamphlet would be suppressed by the Clintons, and that a plan had even been laid to effect it. Wood instantly went to Judah, to whom he had sold the copy right, and insisted on his contracting to put the pamphlet into fair circulation; accordingly Judah, gave him a writing to this effect. Last evening, agreeable to the prediction, Mr. Judah was offered by a certain gentleman, whose name can be given if necessary, a true Clintonian, three hundred dollars for his title to the copy right, and the money presented. Now sir, be so good as to publish the above, and if proof is wanting call on your humble servant.
Instead of remarks we shall put a case;—One man procures another to be indicted for subornation of perjury; on the trial, it is necessary to show not only that there has been a subornation, but that the perjury was, to a point material to the issue; after the attorney general has got through the evidence on the part of the state, the defendant calls a witness to prove expressly, that the point to which the subornation went, was altogether immaterial, and that therefore the indictment would not lie; but the prosecutor himself meets the witness at the door of the City-Hall, takes him aside; and offers a large bribe to withhold his testimony.—Now let 'em talk of suppression.
THE "VIEW," &c. ONCE MORE.
It is not a little remarkable that the author of the "View," speaking of Mr. Burr's chance for the presidency, after Mr. Jefferson should have held it eight years, says "at the end of that period had his conduct been such as ought to have been, Mr. Burr would have succeeded to the presidency as certainly as if by hereditary descent." Very well! Mr. Burr had already been described by this writer himself as utterly destitute of all morality as a dyabolical intriguer in politics as a Cataline, in short a monster of vice in human form, but yet nothing would have prevented his succeeding to the presidency, provided his "conduct had been such as it ought to have been," and he had fawned upon and flattered Mr. Jefferson without being weary for only eight years longer. This is "political honesty" with a vengeance! But because Mr. Burr has penetrated the true character of the 'Sage,' and in common with all discerning men, been disgusted with his sonorous nothings, the hereditary descent is forever cut off. The pure patriots who talk of their love to the people, would have placed a Buonaparte or a Cataline at their head, if he had only been hypocrite enough to profess admiration for a being he despises. And yet these are they who are forever talking of adhering to principles and not to men!
FROM THE BALANCE.
ON EDUCATION.
"Delightful task! to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind, To breathe the th' enlivening spirit, and to fix The gen'rous purpose in the glowing breast." THOMPSON.
DURING the periods of infancy and early childhood, the education of boys is chiefly, while that of girls is almost exclusively devolved on the mother. She is their first friend, and possesses their earliest love. She dispenses their food, dandles them in her arms, and assiduously guards their waking hours and their slumbers; & to her they pour forth their complaints, their wants and their wishes—they hang upon her lips for instruction, and repay her maternal attentions and caresses with all the fondness of which their little hearts are capable. No words are ever lisped by the
young child with such sensations of tenderness as My Mamma.
The father is less domestic. Worldly cares engross his mind: necessary business calls him from home; and the kindness he bestows on his infant offspring are more indirect, and therefore less obvious and impressive. The mother's constant presence and endearing attentions among her small children rivet their hearts to her, more than to any other object: and these circumstances give her peculiar advantages for daily pouring into their minds the precepts of wisdom—precepts, which, coming from her, will sink so deeply, that they will never be forgotten. Those first impressions, which a child receives from the mother, are a sort of indelible characters. They are deeply engraven on the heart, as "with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond."
A virtuous and discreet mother is therefore a fountain of life to her children. Their hearts are attracted to her as the needle to the magnet. She draws them "with the cords of love." She guides them with the "law of kindness." Her precious instructions are daily instilled into their tender minds, like the morning and evening dews: and, in a qualified sense, she moulds and fashions them to a decent, virtuous, lovely conduct, as the potter moulds his clay. Happy are the children, who have such a mother! her worth is invaluable; her loss would be irreparable.
Emilia possesses both beauty & fortune. Youth still blooms in her countenance. Her manners are easy and graceful. She is capable of shining at balls and attracting around her a fluttering crowd of admirers. But "well ordered home" is her delight. She soothes the cares and multiplies the comforts of the man to whom she has pledged her vows. The daily care of her little nursery is her delightful task. She is amused with their innocent prattle. With secret raptures, she marks in them the dawn and progress of reason, and the still brighter dawn and progress of virtue. She guards them with vigilance and guides them with discretion; prudently checks their wayward propensities, "confirms the generous purpose," watches the most happy moments for making useful impressions, gratifies their curiosity, patiently answers their questions, "teaches the young idea how to shoot," and "pours the fresh instruction o'er their minds."
Monimia, who had seen bright and prosperous days, is left a young widow with 3 small children. By the premature death of her husband, her worldly prospects are blasted and laid in the dust. Monimia has a heart replete with sensibility. The recollection of her irreparable loss and reversed circumstances frequently suffuses her face with tears. But she does not consume her time in unavailing woe. The precious interests of her babes are entwined with every fibre of her heart: & while she is stretching out her widowed arms for their sustenance and support, she is still more solicitous to sow in their tender minds the seeds of knowledge and goodness, and to entamp them with virtuous impressions. "He that sitteth in the heavens" beholds and approves—he will succeed the pious endeavors of such a mother.
Is there under heaven a sight more charming, than that of an intelligent, virtuous mother, assiduously instructing her infant offspring, and using her daily endeavours both to inform their minds and to fashion their hearts aright?—Neither Proserpine, while gathering flowers in the fields of Enna, nor Eve herself, while dressing the blooming beds and flowery arbors of Eden, exhibits a portrait so interesting, as that of a discreet and good mother, ingrafting in the minds of her children the germ of useful knowledge, and leading them in the path of virtue.
She is rearing flowers, which will never fade! SENEX.

Alexandria Advertiser.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 6.
The following article was inclosed in a letter from an American gentleman at Lisbon, received at Boston via Plymouth.
WARNING.
Whereas several vessels have been seized, detained and confiscated, with their cargoes, in different ports of Brazil, either for or on suspicion of illicit trade on the said coasts and ports, and the crew committed to the most vigorous confinement, and afterwards sent to Lisbon:—It is absolutely necessary to inform our citizens in the different ports of the United States that the strictest orders have been sent from the government at Brazil in general on the subject: and that for the future it will be extremely imprudent for our vessels to go there.
Some of the vessels seized have been regularly cleared at the custom houses in the United States for Rio de Janeiro, which is contrary to the laws of Portugal as they suffer no trade to be carried on with their colonies but in their own vessels direct from Portugal.
The Democrats are in a woful dilemma, respecting their former friend Callender. For he is either an honest and true man and must be believed; or he is a liar and a scoundrel, and his words deserve to have no credit attached to them. Take your choice, ye mild lovers and supporters of the new philosophy. If Callender be an honest and true man, then he is to be believed in his representation, & that representation strikes your chief to a level with the meanest and basest of created beings. Your cause goes with your chief, for as he has risen, so have you risen, and as he sinks, so must you sink. If Callender be a lying scoundrel, then how stand ye? Did ye not cherish him and support him, did ye not draw flanders and lies from his pen and disseminate them? Did not individuals among you swear to his moral character, support him with your
purse, receive him into your houses, and propagate his falsehoods? Did not the last administration fall, and have not you risen in consequence of the calumnies, which Callender has been eager to invent, and active to disseminate? And must not you have known him, when you were proud of his talents, and zealous for his services, to have been a liar; and has not your cause thus flourished and been perfected by the basest means?
In the one case, it is fair to say, that if Callender is honest and worthy of belief, Mr. Jefferson is sunk below the reach of even a mean man's commiseration: in the other case, if Callender is false, the whole world may see that ye knew him to be a liar, that ye used his lies and profited by the deadly injury they wrought, that your system has been a lie from the beginning, that your ascendancy is founded on a lie, and that like a lie and the works of the father of lies, your glory will be dissipated by the rays of truth.
(Gaz. U. States.)
The Senate, we understand, did not agree to abolish the mint. A national coin is much wanted, and if the new men in power cared a half cent about the people, they would exert themselves to furnish a supply of small change. It would answer a valuable purpose and gain them what they say so much desire, Popularity . The poorer class are really distressed for the want of it. They relish no popular favor but what is to be had by destroying not improving. As a nation too we ought to have a little pride, if the philosophers will permit us to say it, in a currency of our own. Liberty in her own dear Brazilian image figured on our cents, her revolution cap on her head—all she wanted was a pike in her hand. Surely this circumstance ought to make the democratic bowels, of our government yearn towards the mint.
But to change and to reform is very much their sort. We recommend, as a legend for the coin, "Thou shalt not bear false witness," and that congress, at their next session, should pass a special order, directing that Messrs GILES, NICHOLSON, and others of the committee of Defamation , would receive their pay in coin containing such wholesome advice. Why should not cents, as they are next of kin to brats, admonish brats?

The following letter from the Rev. Dr. Smith, will serve to show what credit is due to the anonymous author of the pamphlet, entitled "A View of the Political Conduct of Aaron Burr, Esq."
Princeton, July 29, 1802.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
SIR,
In your paper of Monday July 26, under the article entitled, A view of the political conduct of Aaron Burr, Esq. by the author of the Narrative, I observe some very gross misrepresentations, which I conceive it to be a duty that I owe to Mr. Burr, the New Jersey electors, and myself, to declare to be absolutely false. Mr. Burr never visited me on the subject of the late election for President and Vice President—Mr. Burr never conversed with me a single second on the subject of that election, either before or since the event. No project or plan of the kind mentioned in that paper was proposed or hinted at among the electors of N. Jersey. I am assured that Mr. Burr held no intrigue with them, on that occasion, either collectively or individually. They were men above intrigue; and I do not know that he was disposed to use it. At their meeting, they unanimously declared that a fair and manly vote according to their sentiments was the only conduct which was worthy of their own characters, or of their cause.
S. S. SMITH.
There is an uproar among the democrats from one end of the country to the other. In New York, the Clintons are striving with all their might to damn Mr. Burr; and in Virginia, Callender is presenting facts to the public, which would prove, that the president is "not fit to govern; no, not to live." With respect to the systematic and decisive attack which is making upon the vice president, we cannot but regard it as proceeding from the jealousy which Mr. Jefferson is well known to entertain of him, and the mortal hatred borne him by the Clintons and Livingstons of his own state. The exhibition made of the leaders of the party should
convince the people of the character of the whole "sect," and of the tendency of the democratic principles, which are sported for the purposes of elevation, and for the gratification of a thirst for office & a thirst for power.
We have examined, cursorily, the pamphlet entitled, "A View of the political conduct of Aaron Burr, Esq." recently published in New York. It is a complete picture of Jacobin artifice and intrigue, and though the author has bent his bow, with an aim towards Mr. Burr and his immediate supporters, yet the shaft has flown, and the whole "sect" are but as stricken deer . The View describes the characters who compose Mr. Burr's "little band," in terms which may be fairly extended, and which will be extended by the people, to the great band of democracy, that "they are disappointed office seekers" (though some of them are so no longer) "wretched in talents—worse in principles—and most of them destitute of all the attributes of respectability."
Let the "sect" go on: they have risen by libelling virtuous men: they will fall by telling truth of themselves.
This pamphlet, which, if we might hazard a conjecture, we should suppose was the joint production of Cheetham, De Witt Clinton, and Tunis Wortman, has detailed more of the history of Jacobinism in this country, than any other work we have seen. It shews us how the democrats labor, how they intrigue, what double faces they wear, what vile ends they aim at, and what infamous means they use to obtain them. It shews us, moreover, that they have no confidence in each other, that they deserve to have none; and the honest part of the community, it is hoped, will see that they are wholly unseerving of all honorable confidence. It will furnish us matter for abundant comment hereafter.
We cannot fail to notice, however that there is some falsehood and some folly in the publication. It ascribes praises of Mr. Burr to the federal papers, which we never uttered, and asserts that the United States' Gazette at a particular juncture shifted its course, and "suddenly appeared as his warmest panegyrist." The fact is that all praise bestowed by this gazette upon Mr. Burr was comparative. We were free to state the superiority of his pretensions to the presidency over those of Mr. Jefferson. We knew him to be an abler man, we thought him to be a better man. Upon the representations of Callender of the one, and those of Cheetham and Co. of the other, we must still think, that there is a choice remaining in favor of Mr. Burr. We have seen no act of Mr. Burr displayed which can be brought down to a lowly and degraded comparison with a mean, groveling, and malignant purchase of falsehood and slander.
The view farther states, that "the Boston Centinel preferred Mr. Burr, because the editor thought his character somewhat like that of Bonaparte!" & has the weakness to adduce the following sentence from the Centinel to prove the assertion. "It is granted he is ambitious, but he is not a hypocrite; and though he is like Bonaparte in some respects, he possesses none of the cold hearted qualities of the Gallic consul." If the man had common acuteness, he would perceive, that preference is given to Mr. Burr, because his character is unlike that of Bonaparte—"he possesses none of the cold hearted qualities of the Gallic consul."

SOAP ASHES—AS A MANURE.
SOAP ASHES, are in some measure, the same as the refuse of leach fields. They principally, however, consist of lime, which is employed by the soap-makers to deprive the alkaline salts of their fixed air, and by that means increase their action upon the oil and tallow. The addition of lime to soap ashes is, therefore, unnecessary; they are generally made into composts with the earth and well fermented dung, in the proportion of the two loads of dung to one of earth; the ashes are then added, in the quantity of one load to ten of this mixture, taking care to turn and incorporate the whole completely. The quantity necessary for strong clays or deep loams, is about ten cart loads of this compost to an acre. If the dung has been well fermented and properly reduced, perhaps the most profitable way of using this article will be as a top dressing harrowed in with the grain; care, however, should be taken, when it is employed in this way, that the caustic quality of the ashes is properly blunted by a sufficient mixture of
dung and earth; for if this circumstance is not attended to, and dry weather follows the sowing, there will be a considerable injury to the seed.
These ashes, when beat small, may be made in a very rich compost with oil and earth, and used as a top dressing for young crops. In whatever shape they are used; they will be found to destroy slugs and vermin of every description. This quality will render them highly valuable upon lands where the early wheat is injured by the worm. If they are either applied as a top dressing, and harrowed in along with the seed, or used upon the young wheat in the spring, as soon as the worm appears, the evil will be completely prevented; perhaps mixing it well with the soil at seed time will be found preferable, as it will have a chance of killing the vermin in the embryo.

THE YOUNG STUDENT'S SOLILOQUY.
—In imitation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.—
To learn, or not to learn; that is the question.— Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer The raves and slaps of an imperious master; Or take up heels against this sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To run—to fly— To play; and by a flight to say, we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks Our flesh is heir to; 'tis a consummation Sincerely to be wish'd. To run—to fly— Perchance to be a dunce! Ay—there's the rub For thro' this flight, what drear effects may come When we have shuffled off this learned coil, Should give us pause—to fly—to play—to be a dunce.
Our parent's grief, our country's peh, yea more, Does to pursue, and rebels to our God: To quit to blame, to death, to endless pain, Obnoxious. There's the respect, That makes us fix our firm resolve, to pray, To toil, to learn—Who else in youth would bear The will contumel, all fond indulgence lost, The sch. of boys noise, the usurer's contumely, The pangs of despis'd tasks, the masters law, The insolence of Vipers, and the spurns That a poor boy of all his teachers takes? When he himself might his quietus make With a bare Fugit? Who would fardles bear To groan and sweat under a weary life Of hardships, labour, and the painful tasks Impos'd from Latin, Galic, Hebrew, Greek; Besides the figures, had outs, knotty rots, Piers, lines, and angles, circles, torching curves, Sines, tangents, secants; minus A, plus B— Problems perplexing? and the extra work Of puzzling short-hand, and mathematic toil; Who this and more would tear? but that the dead
Of some thing after youth, and age, and death, (That undiscover'd country from whose bourne No traveller returns) puzzles the will, And makes us rather chuse those ills we have, Than fly to others, that we know not of. Thus conscience, reason, int. rest, all persuade: And thus the sickly wav'ring resolution, Is cur'd, and strength'n'd by mature thought. Thus enterprizes of great pith and moment, With this regard their currents urge along And ripen into action.
AMICUS.

A TRACT OF LAND
within the District of Columbia, containing nearly 500 acres.
This property is pleasantly situated, nearly central between Alexandria and George-Town, and within a mile and an half of the Potomac—the advantage of a considerable proportion being heavily wooded, and its proximity to three flourishing cities, render it valuable. So desirous am I, to execute my plans, that, to effect a sale, I will make a considerable sacrifice; to accommodate, I will divide it into lots of any size, and a small proportion of the purchase money being paid, a lengthy credit on the balance will be given. I will take negroes for the whole or any part of it.—Should I not dispose of it, before the first of October, on that day, I shall publicly offer it for sale at the Coffee-House in Alexandria.
