From the Vermont Journal. MR. ELLIOT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. LETTER VIII.
The constitution of the United States is the most illustrious monument of human wisdom that has existed in any age or nation. It combines energy with liberty; the great desideratum of the most celebrated statesmen of ancient & modern times. The provision of the constitution which renders attainable such amendments as time and experience may require, is one of its most estimable characteristics. But an instrument so sacred should be touched with a gentle hand. It is time for every theorist, and few have been more ardent theorists than myself, to sacrifice the visions of his imagination upon the altar of national union.
Many of the greatest and best men in Virginia were opposed to the adoption of the constitution. Could this circumstance be considered as a reproach, it would not be applicable to Virginia alone; it was the case in a large majority of the states. Opposition generally speaking proceeded from the best of motives, from an attachment to liberty, and from a fear that, were the constitution adopted, "liberty would be but a name to adorn the short historic page of the halcyon days of America." But there were peculiar features in the constitution which rendered it peculiarly obnoxious to Virginia.
The states were to be equally represented in the senate, an important branch of the government, a two edged sword placed in avenue to the sovereignties of the individual states, and checking equally the president and representatives of the people,—should they attempt to exceed their constitutional limits. Many of the greatest men of Virginia thought it radically wrong that the small state of Rhode Island should have an equal voice in the senate with the largest state; and as that idea still prevails in Virginia, and that state possesses a great and increasing influence over the small states, it is reasonable to conclude that those who think the constitution wrong will endeavor to make it right, as soon as they obtain the power. Nothing else can be expected so long as "man is man." Although jealousy has been considered by many as a republican virtue of the first order, we ought not however to indulge a groundless jealousy; nor ought we to accuse any portion of the union of a design to change the constitution, without unquestionable evidence. Upon this subject my mind has been perfectly convinced, and I always expressed with true republican freedom, opinions, of the correctness of which, I feel a perfect conviction.
The sentiments of the celebrated Patrick Henry, of Edmund Randolph, of Mason, and many other distinguished Virginians respecting the constitution, are on record, and the record cannot be obliterated. The equality of suffrage in the senate was a prominent objection. The mind even of the great Washington harbored a strong prepossession in favor of the large states. I have been told by a venerable member of the convention which formed the constitution, that Washington was decidedly of opinion that the small states took too high ground, and that nothing but the indispensable necessity of forming a constitution previously to the dissolution of the convention induced him to support what he considered as too great a concession on the part of the large states. Various publications of a recent date, under the signature of the venerable patriot, Edmund Pendleton, inculcated, the propriety of several important alterations of the constitution; and there is every reason to believe that these publications were direct indications of the general sentiment in Virginia. Mr. Eppes, a member of congress from that state, in the address to his constituents, in consequence of which he obtained his election, announced his determination to advocate several very important alterations of the constitution, one of which should have for its object the reduction of the time for which the senators are elected, and also, if my recollection be correct, to render them liable to be recalled by the state legislatures. Mr. Breckenridge, a native Virginian, and a distinguished member of the senate, declared in the late debate upon the amendment that nothing could be more aristocratic, in his opinion, than the election of the senators for 6 years—but that he wished not to connect an alteration of the constitution in that respect, with the amendment then under consideration. Another able member of the senate declared in my presence, that nothing could be clearer than that it is totally wrong to
have a senate at all in a republican government. Many Republicans of other states as well as Virginia, have declared to me that very important amendments of the constitution must and will take place in a few years. One member from Virginia in the presence of several members of both political parties told me, that the time for which the senators are elected must be reduced to two years; that this alteration would soon be agitated; that it would be a test by which to try the republicans; and that no member could be considered as a true republican who should oppose it. I have ascertained that a very great proportion of republicans in congress are of opinion that the constitution is too aristocratic, that the small states had too much weight, that the judiciary is by far too independent, and that the following alterations of the constitution must be made as soon as the public mind can be prepared for them.
 1. To reduce the time for which the Senators are elected to two years. This would soon render the senators from the small states the mere tools of the large states, and would lead to the total destruction of the senate.  2. To carry the election of President to the people at large. This would destroy all the remaining weight of the small states, as states, in the election of President. The weight of Vermont relative to Pennsylvania, in that election, is now in the ratio of 6 to 20; it would then be only 4 to 18.  3. That the judges shall be appointed for a few years only. Comment is here unnecessary. 
Possibly there may be no just grounds for any alarm upon the subject, but altho' I may be too credulous I am certainly sincere in my fear. Should no attempts be made to alter the constitution, I shall be willing to be considered, not only a weak alarmist, but a visionary politician.
Much is said of a plot to divide the union. It is imputed chiefly to the federalists, but attempts have not been wanting to implicate the northern republicans. I have expressed myself in favor of a union of the people in the northern states in general sentiment, for the purpose of securing to us our due weight in the councils of the nation, and for preserving instead of destroying the constitution; but I wish that union to take place upon republican principles and no other; upon the genuine principles of the constitution alone.
Were the northern states as well united as the southern, we should not be so unreasonable as to desire more than our degree of political weight, and that the southern states would be willing to allow us, for they must dread a dissolution of the union equally with ourselves. No person in the United States can more ardently desire the preservation of the union than myself. I shall always be prepared to spill the last drop of my blood in its support. I believe the only way to preserve the union is to preserve the Constitution. May both be preserved! May the constitution and the union be perpetual.
These are the sentiments of a Vermont republican, who without aspiring to pre-eminence, will never think himself inferior to the republicans of Virginia. My little farm of fourteen acres, is cultivated by the labour of my own hands; my brother of the south possesses hundreds of slaves, scattered over thousands of acres. Speculatively the Virginian may be a better republican than I am; but his republicanism is certainly not quite so practical as mine.
JAMES ELLIOT.
P. S. Since writing the above letter, some of the alterations of the constitution which I have ventured to predict, have been moved in congress by Mr. Randolph of Virginia, and Mr. Nicholson of Maryland, and are made the order of the day for the first day of next session. I am also possessed of evidence to prove that some of Mr. Randolph's most able supporters in congress have boldly avowed their hostility to the constitution in all its essential parts.
It is possible that my alarm on this subject may be a vain one. I hope that it is. But in the alternate triumphs of the two great parties in our country, I have seen enough to convince me that party spirit is capable of every species of delusion and violence, in the support of favorite measures; and I sincerely believe that we are in danger of witnessing a political tempest, fraught with ruin to the rights of the small states. It is known to every member of congress from the northern states, that the majority of Virginia statesmen entertain opinions, in reference not only to constitutional principles, but to the great interests of commerce which are at variance with the sentiments of men of all parties in this quarter of the union. In these opinions our Virginia brethren are honest. They have sketched for themselves the system which they think would best promote the prosperity and glory of the union, and they will support that system with energy. Our own declaimers who resort to the farewell address of the great Washington, for denunciations against those who
"misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts," act unjustly in censuring those who represent correctly the sentiments and views of politicians in other quarters. I have made the correct representation under the strongest impressions of duty. And jealous as I am of Virginia, I will support as an individual, a Virginian candidate for the office of president, so long as that state shall present to our view the man qualified above all others for that station. As the present president will probably decline a third election, I am induced to believe that Mr. Madison and Mr. Randolph will be candidates for the next presidency. In that event the people of the northern and middle states will consult their own interests and that of the union, by supporting Mr. Madison. Attached to the constitution from its infancy, his administration would be guided by its principles. And it is to be hoped the chariot of the state will never be committed to the guidance of a second PHAETON. In other words it is to be hoped that genius and eloquence combined with habits of cool reflection and profound investigation, will ever be considered as forming superior pretensions to the presidency, to genius and eloquence alone.

Extract of a letter received by a merchant in Philadelphia, dated at Tortola 16th May.
"All American vessels met with going from an enemy's port to any other neu- tral port than that to which they belong, will be condemned if brought in here, and there are now five British cruizers in these seas; the judge strictly adheres to his Britannic Majesty's order in coun- cil of the 24th June, 1803."
ORDER ALLUDED TO.
Additional instructions to commanders of our ships of war, &c. &c.
In consideration of the present state of commerce, we are pleased hereby to di- rect the commanders of our ships of war and privateers, not to seize any neutral vessels which shall be carrying on trade directly between the colony of the enemy and the neutral country to which the vessel belongs, and laden with the property of such neutral country, provided that such neutral vessel shall not be supplying, nor on the outward voyage supplied the enemy with any article contraband of war, and shall not be trading with any blockaded port.
By His Majesty's Command.
We have seen a letter from a gentleman who lately arrived in this country from the city of Santo Domingo to his friend in New-York, which mentions that general Ferrand has issued a proclamation declar- ing that the captains and crews of all ves- sels who should thereafter be found trading with the revolted negroes, or bound to or coming from any ports in their possession, should suffer death; and that orders have been given for carrying the object of the proclamation into effect with all possible rigor. The source from whence we derive this information is so respectable as to leave in our minds not a doubt of its cor- rectness. [New-York pap.]
We learn, from private letters from Spain, that Mr. Monroe had left Madrid, on his return to London. The state of the negotiation concerning the Louisiana frontier was in train, but had not been final- ly adjusted; and it was supposed would be determined at Paris. [Aurora.]
The Printers throughout the U. S. are requested to publish, for the information of merchants and others concerned, the following extracts & translations of official letters received from the Royal College of Commerce, at Stockholm, by
RICHARD SODERSTROM,
His Sued. Maj. Com. Agent, near the U. S.
No. I. Letter, to commercial agents residing in the United States of North A- merica.
Although from official reports respect- ing the contagious disease which raged last Autumn in Malaga, occasioning so much devastation, the Royal College has like- wise been informed that the said contagion had ceased in the month of December next following, so as to leave no apprehension of its spreading any further, and that con- sequentially all measures of precaution hi- therto enforced, had been discontinued in Spain, since the month of March last; yet, as this epidemic, which in all probability was a species of Yellow Fever, has already, within a few years, repeatedly renewed its symptoms in the said kingdom; and whereas, on account of its mercantile re- lations with America, it is ever to be fear- ed that the contagion may again be com- municated, especially because the measures of guarding against it may be less generally known, or not strictly enforced: Now, therefore, the Royal College thinks fit taking particular notice that upon every oc- casion of Swedish vessels bound to or from any foreign vessels being obtained respecting the state of the crew, and soundness of the cargo, to certify the same
on the pass, and immediately to report the same to the Royal College, &c. &c.

His majesty, for the purpose of securing the kingdom against the raging epidemic which has again broke out in Malaga, has, by royal letter of the 16th instant, been pleased graciously to ordain, that all vessels from the said city or other suspected places, arriving into any port of the kingdom situated out of the Sound or Baltic sea, shall be ordered for the island of Kanso, situated one Swedish mile from the fortress of Elfsborg, for the purpose of undergoing quarantine, a provisional establishment of this kind being immedi- ately to take place there by his majesty's command: And moreover his majesty, desirous of enforcing such regulations as have been adopted in Denmark, has been pleased to ordain that no vessel, coming from Malaga (or other suspected places) and bound for any Swedish port or place in the Baltic, shall be allowed to pass the Sound, unless it can prove, by a bill of health in due form, granted by the com- missioners (or board) of health established at Christiansand in Norway, that it has undergone the quarantine in said place, or been found by the said commissioners to be free of all suspected contagious disease; otherwise such vessel or vessels will be or- dered back to Christiansand. The Royal College hereby apprizes you of this royal order, enjoining you to communicate the same not only to all masters of Swedish vessels which may arrive within your dis- trict, but also to all foreign vessels arriv- ing from Malaga, or other suspected places, which may be bound for this kingdom.— Given at Stockholm, October 23d, 1804.
No. III. Since erecting and establishing a quarantine ground on the island of Kan- so, on the coast of Gottenburg, his ma- jesty has graciously been pleased to com- mand by letter of the 27th of November, last past, addressed to the Royal College of Trade and Commerce, That during the continuance of such quarantine, the said port shall be shut against all vessels ar- riving from places free from contagion; of which the commercial agents are enjoined to communicate information in foreign newspapers; at the same time, his ma- jesty has judged it to be necessary, that all masters of vessels from Sweden and its dependencies, who may be in foreign ports, shall receive order through the commercial agents abroad, to provide themselves with a black flag, and hoist the same on ap- proaching the Swedish coast whenever they may be coming from i- lected or suspected places: this flag being intended as a warn- ing to pilots and others concerned, &c. &c. Stockholm, 10th Dec. 1804.
No. IV. Whereas his Majesty has gra- ciously ordained, under date the 21st in- stant, That it shall hence forward be the duty of all Swedish commercial agents and commissaries residing abroad, whenever a contagious disease breaks out in or near their places of residence, immediately to report the same, not only to the Royal Col- lege of Trade and Commerce, but also di- rect to the Quarantine Commissioners, (or Board of Health,) at Gottenburg, and moreover, to transmit a list of such ves- sels as may then lie in port and be loading for Sweden and ports in the Baltic: Now, therefore, the Royal College does hereby make known to you his Majesty's gracious command for your faithful observance, &c. &c. Stockholm, December 27, 1804.
Poor Duane.—The time is at hand when this fellow must sink to his proper level in society.
"When every feather sticks on its own wing, This creature will be left a naked gull."
What made Duane a friend of the people, an upholder of Jefferson, and so violent, and so enraged in his favor, that he la- bored and wrote, as if the devil drove him (as he probably did) to secure the election of Mr. Jefferson? Was it because he expected the people at large would be benefited, or that he would make his for- tune?
Shortly after the present administration came into office, we are informed that the different secretaries gave Duane in advance for stationary, &c. between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars. His profits, we presume, were at least 10,000 dollars. But he ***** the government so abo- minably, that the different secretaries have generally since applied to regular station- ers. On some articles of stationary he is said to have made two or three hundred per cent. They mention his buying knives at Patterson's store for 6 dollars a dozen, and charging the government 24 dollars a dozen: Quills about cent. per cent. ad- vance. After contracting for several thou- sand reams of paper, of a certain quality,
and receiving the price for English paper, he went and purchased American paper in Delaware, and made a spec of one dollar or more for a ream. In short, we believe that he has received from government for printing and stationary between sixty and eighty thousand dollars, the regular profits of which have been great, & the ***** profits of which much greater; yet we are told that the fellow is scarcely worth six- pence after all, which proves that what is gotten over the devil's back is not always saved.
Well—Last session, Mr. Jackson a member of the house of representatives from this state, brought forward a resolu- tion to give the printing business and the supply of stationary to the lowest bidder who gave the best security. The particu- lar friends of Mr. Dunn, such as Mr. Smi- ley, Mr. Randolph, and Doctor Leib op- posed this resolution, not from motives of economy, not from a wish to save the peo- ple's money, but a patriotic, and highly commendable desire to reward Mr. Patri- ot Dunn, for his great services in the cause of genuine republicanism. The oppo- sition was fruitless; about 70 to 20 in favor of Mr. Jackson's resolution. The contract- ing was left with Beckley, the clerk of the house: and last week the contract was closed with Mr. Andrew Way of Wash- ington to do all the printing, and with Mr. Edgar Patterson of Georgetown to sup- ply all the stationary: So that poor Duane is fast becoming featherless. The secreta- ries refusing to take the stationary of him was taking out his tail feathers; this con- tract with Way and Patterson, quite lops one wing; the Freeman's Journal and o- ther democratic papers are continually plucking his pin feathers, ?—Nothing re- mains but the printing for the senate, and this he will lose when the last feathers of the remaining wing will be off, and the naked buzzard will fall to the ground.

THE DROPSY CURED.
A person who was prodigiously swelled with this disorder, put a large cup full of bohea tea into a teapot, steeped it, drank the liquor by degrees, and ate all the tea leaves, in the course of the forenoon. The same experiment was repeated in the after- noon, and for the two succeeding days.— On the second day the water began to de- crease by natural evacuations, and on the third day it was totally dissipated.
