THE CONDUCT OF OUR PRESENT RULERS, FAIRLY EXAMINED.
THE experience of two years, has now enabled us to form an estimate of the virtues and talents of those men, who, assuming to themselves the exclusive epithet of Republicans , have, by their boasted professions of superior attachment to the cause of liberty, gained the suffrages of the people and the powers of the government. Let us examine their conduct impartially; let us contrast what they have professed to do , with what they have done , and see whether they deserve confidence or support for their candor or their services.
The President in his letter to a Berkeley farmer, before he had obtained his election, and his friends particularly, had been heard inveighing, upon all occasions, against the dangerous tendency of executive influence in the government. It was to be expected then, on his coming into office, that such influence would not shew itself at all, or would shew itself in its mildest form. But what has been the fact? His first outset in office, was the withholding, I will say the illegal and unconstitutional withholding of the commissions of the Magistrates of the District of Columbia, which had been lodged in the Secretary's office for their use—I will say so, because I am warranted by the unanimous opinions of the judges in saying it. When the first Congress met under the present system of government those men, who now principally support Mr. Jefferson, contended that the tenure of
office should not be at the will of one man. Mr. Madison, who supported the idea of removal at executive pleasure, did it upon the ground, that his mind could not conceive, that ever the time would come, when a President would be so far forgetful of his duty to society, and the just exercise of his authority, as to turn men out of office for difference of opinion only .—He may now witness the fact, and by the man too, whom he delights to serve. Past services to our country, in the hour of danger, most exact performance of official duty, have been no protection against the persecuting spirit of political enmity.—Were the fact not notorious, and the proscribed too many, I would enumerate the instances. We might fondly have hoped that the disinterested purity of Democrats , however thirsty for office, would not have forced their Chief, thus to gratify them, at the expence of the most vital principle of Republican Government, and his own prior expressed reprehension. To appoint men to office, whose opinions went along with the President's, would not be blamed, but to remove men from office, whom party spirit might mark out as victims to its rage, was vicious in the extreme.—Here, indeed, executive influence exhibits itself in its worst form—it assumes the attitude, and may justly be termed tyranny and oppression . When power is thus exercised, and this exercise justified, what must be the result? The executive office being elective, and vested with powers, liable to such abuse, as this gentleman has shewn them liable to; must not every presidential election become a scene of tumult, commotion, and, perhaps, of civil war; terminating at last in the horrid despotism of some cunning and fortunate usurper. The most violent and the worst passions of the human breast, ambition and avarice will agitate the minds of men, when they are to expect from their successful candidate, if he follows the steps of a Jefferson, a reward for their labors in the enjoyment of office and emolument. Passion will justify the measure, and call in "a bursting open of the doors of honor and confidence" to those whom he chooses to gratify. Upon this rock I fear our government will split, and we may thank a Democratic President for having pointed the way. But, say his friends, did he not voluntarily part with a long list of patronage, when he recommended the repeal of the internal taxes? Was it a dislike to the power he enjoyed, or was it popularity he expected to gain by it, that induced the measure? But how soon is he retributed by his partisans, by being invested with the appointments of Commissioners of Bankruptcy, which had very properly been vested before in the courts. Thus we see, in colours too strong to be mistaken, the difference between presidential professions and presidential actions , and every man is left to judge of the evils that must result from this deviation in his conduct from his professions.
Let us now examine him as connected with his congressional friends. The support of the government in all the purity of its principles, and its preservation against infraction, was one of their pretended motives for seeking power. Yet we see, in order to gratify a little party spleen , or as they pretend , to save a little money to the pockets of the people, their first grand step, was to commence a precedent for prostrating the independence of the judges; that department of the government, to which the citizens must look for protection, against party violence and the oppressions of tyranny . One example has occurred, in the case of the Columbia Justices, and many more may yet occur, to prove how necessary such a tribunal is.—In the debate upon the repeal of the law for the judicial establishment, a principle was asserted by the particular friends of the President, Giles, Breckenridge and Mason, which, as applied to them, was directly subversive of our constitution—"That there was no power, and ought to be none, greater than the will of the people." But what is the will of the people ? Is the voice of one hundred men, representatives of the people, to be called the will of the people ? How often have these gentlemen, under former Congresses, contended that the representatives did not speak the voice of the people? Is it not the experience of every day, that a few leading demagogues, conduct the business of legislative bodies; we know they often err through ignorance and from passion, and yet are all our dearest rights and interests to be trusted to them alone; betters to be trusted to them alone; betters, in the height of vanity and self-

consequence, they term their idle whims and crude suggestions, the will of the people . But where is truly found in our government, the people's will ? Is it not in the constitution? And what is its language? We will not trust our rights to any one body of men; but we will have three distinct bodies, who shall mutually watch each other's conduct; for this purpose, they shall each be independent of the other; the law making branch shall be amenable to ourselves, for breach of duty, and the others shall be amenable to a designated tribunal, for their mal conduct. Those that are judges of our conduct, however, must be placed above all for and hopes ; and, therefore, shall have adequate salaries and enjoy their offices for life. This language of ages had sanctioned, which the wisdom of ages had adopted, is, however, to give place to the wild & innovating theories of men, who pretended to be its firmest votaries—and we are no longer in its pages, to look for the will of the people ; but consider as such, the mad assertions of each successful demagogue. This, then, is another proof of the wide difference between Democratic profession and Democratic action . The army and navy were themes of constant abuse. With the army, thank God, they have had nothing to do. How long it may continue so, and how these gentlemen will act, should occasion call for one, time only can determine.—But as to the navy, we have seen a tripping warfare, at a great expence, kept up to humble a Barbary pirate, who, it accounts be true, is likely to get the better of our boasting President. We have seen many of our best ships sold at a loss, and now six more ordered to be built, (which, probably, will cost as much as all the rest sold for) to chase this Tripolitan to his very door. We have seen dockyards and warehouses voted, and dry docks recommended by those who told us, when the French were taking our vessels in our very rivers, and that we might not arm to oppose their aggressions, "that commerce should protect itself"—that ours should be the policy of China, we should not carry, but suffer other nations to come here and carry away our produce"—that "our commerce would be forever embroiling us in European quarrels"—and that our trade, being carried on by British capital, "we were only arming in defence of British property." Here we see again the difference between Democratic actions and professions . We were told, that high salaries were given officers of government to feast at public cost; and yet, when the law had expired which gave them, these very republicans voted for the renewal of salaries which they themselves had contended were too much for others. Mark there the inconsistency of Democratic conduct . They blamed the former administration for sending Mr. Jay, as minister extraordinary, to treat with England; when, as they said, our ordinary minister at that court would have done as well. Yet they send Mr. Monroe, as minister extraordinary, in a case so plain that no ordinary minister could mistake it. Here again profession and action are at variance, and democratic pride triumphs over democratic economy . They pretended such an attachment to the liberty of the press, that even a law, which permitted the truth of a writing called libelous, to be given in evidence, escaped not their most bitter censure. Yet in one state we see a Printer knocked down by a Democratic Counselor of state, for publishing something which hurt his honors feelings, and then imprisoned and held to bail for his good behaviour, by Democratic Magistrates, for the same offence—and all this without trial by jury *. We have seen also, in another part of the union, the vicious principles of the tyrant Mansfield supported, and a printer not only made to plead, without being allowed a copy of his indictment, but refused also to give the truth in evidence for his justification; and this by a Democratic Attorney, before a Democratic Court. In one state we see a Democratic Governor recommending it to the legislature to restrain what he calls the licentiousness of the press; and in another we see a resolution of censure introduced against those whom they choose
to call Federal Printers .—How do professions and actions here agree. We heard them blame the obsequiousness of Congress to the will of President Washington, and pretended to fear the introduction of monarchy, from what they termed the introduction of monarchical principles. Yet we see the representatives of the nation, refusing to ask for information upon the subject of the Louisiana cession from the present President, and most wantonly declaring "a perfect reliance in every thing he had done and should do, for vindicating the rights of our citizens upon the Mississippi;" when the fact was, that he had not only neglected to get information upon the subject, but had done nothing in it, and was as totally ignorant of the whole secret of the transaction, as any man in the community. Look at the debate in the Senate upon the subject of giving extracts of their journals in the case of the Columbia Justices: do not we see the worst maxim of the English Monarchy revived, and the doctrine that the "King can do no wrong," applied to our President by a Wright, a Breckenridge, and all the presidential advocates. Breckenridge says "it must be presumed the President will do right"—that "the case of treaty was the same—the full evidence was contained in the President's proclamation. It was to be presumed, that he had not ratified a treaty without the consent of the Senate, and therefore full faith was to be given to his proclamation." Here too we see given to him powers, which even the King of England is denied; his proclamations are of have the force of laws, for treaties are the laws of the land. Thus, indeed, are the worst principles of Monarchy practiced upon by those who were forever accusing others of twisting it . And to conclude the catalogue of these Democratic inconsistencies, have we not seen, during the whole of the present Congress, every material measure wrapt up in the veil of secrecy, by those who once told us, "that in a republican government there should be nothing hid from the people's view ; and even millions of their money, voted to be at the disposal of presidential discretion, by those who sanctioned a report, upon the conduct of the former administration, condemning the secret appropriation of public money.—When such glaring departure from profession is thus exhibited in action , is it not time, my fellow-citizens, to pause—to reflect. Remember it is a lesson of their own teaching, "that jealousy is the loveliest trait of a political character, and "that power, by whomsoever exercised, is liable to abuse." Practice towards them, what they have recommended towards others—the occasion loudly calls for it. Have they, indeed, lulled you to sleep, by their sweet songs of love? Have they enchanted your senses with the magic of words ? Is such disinterested virtue awake in the rulers, that the people may sleep. "Political sleep is death." Rouse then to a sense of danger. Put such men in your House of Representatives, as will watch over executive errors and improprieties, and you may yet secure your envied freedom, from the force of maxims and practices such as I have shewn. Smith of Maryland, has warned you that his party laboured hard for power, and that they will exercise it in their own way , not in yours I suppose. "They now unto the ladder turn their backs, scorning the base degrees by which they did ascend."  I have shewn you how tyrannically power has been exercised by them, and believe me, "that power obtained by fraud and deception , can only be supported by force ."

MR. SNOWDEN.—As the indignation of all classes of Citizens appear to be excited against the Colonel and his Officers . I conceive it but justice to those Officers, who, disapproving of his appointment and subsequent conduct, declined the honor of serving under him by returning their commissions—to insert their names in your paper, so that odium may not unjustly attach to any. As the appointments were published in your paper, and as the resignations have not been noticed, you will no doubt see the propriety of my request—the following are the gentlemen alluded to.

 Charles McKnight,  Josiah Faxon,  Lawrence Summers,  George Wise,  John Jobston,  John A. Stewart,  Lawrence Hoff, Jun.  James S. Scott,  Ferdinand Marsteller,  William Turner,  James M'Guire.

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated March 6, 1803.
"I expected before this to have been able to have furnished you with a copy of our French General Victor's proclamation, on his assuming the government of this colony; but as yet he has not made his appearance. The last advices we have had from Europe, were by a vessel from Liverpool, of the 24th Dec. in which came passenger Mr. Daniel Clark, consul at this place and a French gentleman, bearer of a letter from Gen. Victor to our Governor, announcing his approaching arrival. This event is now the general object of anxiety, for the Spanish Government, in consequence of the retrocession, and impatient to withdraw from a scene where their dominion is expiring, have sunk into a state of dejection and lassitude. Public business is almost entirely suspended, and no commercial objects can be effected. Our apprehensions concerning the French are certainly great; but if we are left much longer in our present epicene state we shall be ruined."
"I have this day seen an official extract from the arrettes of the Consul, providing for the government of this colony. It says nothing more than merely designating the respective authorities of the three different departments, which are captain General, Prefect Colonial, and Commissaire de Justice, or chief judge. The paper was confidentially shewn to me, or I should have taken a copy for you. In my next I hope to be able to communicate it."
PHILADELPHIA, April 1.
By the Schooner Virginia, capt. Pinner, in ten days from Savannah, arrived yesterday, a paper was received of the 8th ult. in which are the two following notes, addressed
To the Editors of the Savannah Gazette. GENTLEMEN—Although I have no business to gratify public curiosity, yet as a friend to truth, I feel myself obliged to contradict two of the articles published in your gazette of the 8th and 15th inst. First that the express did not come from New Orleans, nor brought a single syllable relating to that quarter. Secondly, that the French gentleman who will sail for St. Augustine, is only on his way to Louisiana, and has no commission.
Please therefore to make the proper use of this and believe me to be, &c.
EMANUEL RENGILL. Spanish Vice Consul.
GENTLEMEN. Having observed in your last paper a paragraph respecting a French gentleman arrived in this city, bearing a commission under the French government for the port of St. Augustine, I think it my duty to inform the public, that it has not come to my knowledge that such a person is in town nor was last vested with such a power, otherwise it would undoubtedly have been officially or individually communicated to me.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
To parents who have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the moderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unwholesome or excessive use of mercury—the dictates peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Losses of spirits, Lots of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites), Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete gleet, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could restore, a perseverance in the use of his medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, spasms, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted; when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forger-son, Esq., one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or gripping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small round worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is like wise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.)
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite waned rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be NINE or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOULTON, minister of the Moravian church, in York town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to an appearance a mucus but upon close inspection quit repealed
with very small living animals. No trace of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOULTON.
