TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
The flattering reception of the first general Statistical table for the United States of America, has encouraged the compiler to continue his annual labour, now rendered easy by familiar practice.
To this fourth edition, is added the product of another year with two new items; for such has been the continual though irregular depreciation of the precious metals, since the discovery of America, that gold and silver can now no where be considered as standards for any length of time. Therefore the prices of labour, and of corn, will hereafter be continued in the annual return of this table, as the best standards that can be obtained, for the comparative valuation of the revenue and expenditures of the Union in each succeeding year. The rate necessarily assumed for the annual increase in the population of the states, proved so nearly correspondent with the returns, at the last Census, that no change has been thought necessary in consequence of this check; therefore the rule of 3 per centum on the last return, will be continued for each year, till the next census. It will be perceived, that this table will form the best basis for fiscal calculations, and indeed for all important statistical anticipations, and finally for a classic work in a permanent system of finance for the United States.

* N. B. It is ascertained by sales at Auction that the public lands will bring more than the fixed price at present, in many parts on the borders of the settlements, which are daily extending. To account in part for the fluctuation of the metallic medium, it must be observed, that funding the war debt, and establishing the National Bank, occasioned the great influx from the year 1790, to 1795, after which the fluctuations on our commerce ports from whence most of our specie was obtained. These causes combined with the funds voted for an annual discharge of the National debt, will continue to diminish our specie for a time, until new commercial or other causes, may arise in favour of further and greater importations of the precious metals.

THE CHARACTER OF EDMUND BURKE. By Doctor Parr.
There is, I am aware, a certain weariness, which, for his readiness and fluency, and lively excursions, has obtained among the multitude the character of the consummate orator. Let the admirers of this man smite their teeth with vexation while I speak what my soul dictates, of the eloquence of Burke—at Burke by whose sweetens Athens herself would have been soothed, with whose amplitude and exuberance she would have been enraptured, and on whose prolific mother of genius and science would have adored, confessed the Goddess of Persuasion.
There were some among the Romans who esteemed a certain terseness and exility of style and sentiment, provided it were laboured, and polished, and elegant, as truly Attic; and held the more full, and grand, and commanding, and magnificent species of oratory in the highest contempt. Vain of their taste and their sagacity, and insensible of the gradations, the transitions, and the variety of the Athenian style, such men had the audacity to condemn the harangues of Cicero himself as tumid, oriental and redundant. Men have not been wanting with us, who have croaked the same dull note, and repeated the same lifeless criticism of the eloquence of Burke. But let these vain pretenders to Attic taste, without the robustness of mind to tolerate its beauties, learn to think more highly of our illustrious orator; let them know, that to imitate Burke is to speak Athenian like and well; and that even to have attained a relish for the charms is greatly to have advanced in literature.
Let me add, and it is much to the purpose, that Burke, on whatever topic he touches, in the extensive range of his allusions, appears a master of the subject; and to have acquired a deep and thorough insight into whatever is excellent in elegant art or solid science. Critics there are who wish to separate eloquence from literature, and to ascribe the powers of the orator to a certain natural talent improved by habit. While we congratulate these original and unlettered speakers, let us admire in Burke a mind by nature formed for eloquence, and impregnated with every influence, by studious and unwearied application. He applied himself to classical literature, because he knew that from that literature the orator was furnished with its choicest ornaments, and because he felt that it slowly infused the habit of speaking even English well.
Demosthenes is said to have been a reader, and even an auditor, of Plato; and Cicero is confirmed in this opinion by the choice and grandeur of his style. How deeply read is Burke, what memory from the orators and poets, so forcibly felt by every man of letters in that strong tincture of literature which pervades, with essential fragrance, all his compositions. His superior genius, like that of Phidias, was no sooner exhibited than felt; but observing how much the brightest talents have been obscured by negligence, he never relaxed his ardent assiduity a moment, nor suffered the extent of his attainments to damp his appetite for more.
Few have the opportunity or the power of forming a competent opinion of a speech delivered; but of Burke's eloquence there are specimens, of which every one may judge. Look at what he has published, the charm equally of the world at large, and of the ablest critics. Who is there among men of eloquence or learning more profoundly versed in every branch of science? Who is there that has cultivated philosophy, the parent of all that is illustrious in literature or exploit, with more felicitous success? Who is there that can transfer so happily the result of laborious & intricate research, to the most familiar and popular topics? Who is there that possesses so extensive, yet so accurate an acquaintance with every transaction recent or remote? Who is there that can deviate from his subject, for the purposes of delight, with such engaging ease, and intently conduct his readers from the severity of reasoning to the festivity of wit? Who is there that can melt them, if the occasion requires, with such resistless power, to grief and pity? Who is there that combines the charm of inimitable grace and urbanity with such magnificent and boundless expansion? He that can do this, I affirm it again and again, has artistic powers and speaks a language which, while it soothed the multitude by its sweetness, by the correctness and pregnacy, will captivate the judgement of the severest critic.
Many men, of more talent than erudition, have fancied that they could speak better than they could write; and flattered themselves with a reputation for eloquence which never stood the test of severe and critical examination. Many a speech has been received with infinite applause in the delivery, which, when handed about in the prints, has appeared poor, languid, and lifeless. Lord Chat-
ham was a great man, a most animated and terrific orator, and eminently endowed with the full qualifications of a great statesman; yet as a speaker, his fame, doubtless from the witchery of his manner, was greater than his power. Like Cromwell, he had that perspicuity of eye, which pried into the inmost recesses of the soul, and detected all the thoughts and impressions, and hopes and fears, of his auditors. He had that too which Cromwell had not; for Cromwell we are told was slow in the conception of his ideas while he spoke, and difficult and perplexed in the delivery. But in Chatham, when he rose to speak, there was a fervour and vehemence of imagination, a headlong torrent of words, and power of sound, which deafened and stunned, and confounded his opponents. In the man himself, I well remember, there was a native dignity of form, which commanded reverence and faith; and, by filling his hearers with a holy awe, predisposed them to his purpose. With powers little calculated to instruct or delight, there was a vehemence of contention, and awakening energy of manner, an impassioned ardor, a confident and boastful exultation, which victory only rendered more ferocious and ungovernable. His often rose to dignity in the donation of applause; still oftener blazed to fierceness in the fulmination of invectives; and sometimes, in the violence of altercation, stung with a poignancy of wit peculiarly his own. But take away these showy appendages of eloquence, which are included almost in the very name of Chatham; take away that which in the judgment of Demosthenes was the first, the second, the third qualification of an orator; and which, in Chatham, were displayed as they prevailed in so astonishing a measure, and with such felicity of success; take away the imposing dignity of his presence, the strength and grandeur of his voice, the elaborate vehemence of his gesticulation, worked up often to extravagance, and better adapted to the Drama than the Senate; take these away and in those very speeches which were extolled by his auditors as transcending far all praise, you will find nothing, scarcely, which so forcibly strikes or sweetly soothed the ear; nothing which by its strength or clearness captivates the judgment; nothing which the intelligent reader in a cool and deliberate hour will approve; or having once read, will eagerly demand again.
Such I confess, was the giant scale of Chatham's mind, that he might well claim, and would assuredly fill with honor, the highest station to which a subject can aspire. To his other original and illustrious qualities was added that felicity of fortune which fills up the measure of all pre-eminent greatness. In his character as Minister, such was the greatness and elevation of his spirit, like Scipio, he could revive expiring ardour, and fill men with a confidence of expectation which no mortal court of nature, ever did, or under any other auspices, ever ought to inspire. I hope, however, who consider Chatham not as a first rate orator, but as another Demosthenes, are greatly deceived. In Demosthenes, with a dignity which has scarcely been equalled, was combined a sagacity and coolness which can never be surpassed. He who aspires only to be rapid, vehement, and sonorous, without descending to plain narrative, cool statement, close argument, sacrificial reason to passion, and touches on the precincts of a frantic eloquence. It was the lot of Chatham to owe whatever he possessed to a genius exercised by practice alone. The consequence was natural. With infinite fluency and animation he insured the fate of Galba, and while breathing consuming fire as a speaker, all the force and all the blaze of his eloquence was extinguished upon paper.
Far different is Burke. To wing his flight to the sublime of eloquence he has called in the labours of the closet. Burke would not that the fame of his powers should be circumscribed within the same poor limits that bound life; nor has he feared, most certainly he has not shunned, that solemn sentence which posterity, who 'extenuate nothing, nor set down aught in malice,' will hereafter pronounce upon his genius.
There are many, I know, who, tho' well convinced that the pen is the instructor of the tongue, and perfectly able to treat any subject upon paper with infinite correctness and art, yet, when drawn from the shade of studious retirement into action, are not only incapable of delivering with clearness what they have very justly conceived, but exhibit the spectacle of absolute helplessness and futility. But Burke, though fully satisfied that nothing contributes more to good speaking than good writing, is equally prepared for both. The same powerful mind, the same divine and inextinguishable ardour, which fires him in the Senate, animates him in the solitude of composition; nor need he blush to say of his speeches what Thucydides had affirmed of his elaborate history, 'I give it to the public as an everlasting possession, and not as a contentious instrument of temporary applause.'
There is an unwillingness in the world to show that the same man has excelled
in various pursuits; but Burke's compositions, diversified as they are in their nature, yet each excelling in its kind, who does not read, with instruction and delight? I have hitherto surveyed the merits of the orator; let us now view him as a critic and philosopher.
Criticism, which others would have been content to study as they found it, Burke has enlarged by his discoveries, illustrated by his multifarious learning, and created with all the graces of a style most elegant and refined, yet not polished into insipidity by too curious a care. Often has it been lamented that the language of philosophers is usually so crabbed and uncouth as to deter readers of taste from perusal of their labours. It fell to Burke, by his purity and grace to purge off this inveterate rust, and to adapt to the knottiest and the subtlest disquisitions such a flowing ease, fertility and liltre of style, as the world had never witnessed. With such illustrious proofs of his own powers, he has at once, by his precepts and example, instructed others to excel; for whether he luxuriates in speeches replete with the choicest phraseology and happiest periods, or bends his keen and subtle intelligence on critical disquisition, such is the felicity of his labours, that he at once quickens the facility of his readers, while he stores their memory and fertilizes their fancy with invigorating and varied information.
On the morals of a man most conspicuously endowed with the more amiable and the severe virtues, I hold it needless to descend. The unspotted innocence, the firm integrity of Burke, want no encomium; and if he is accustomed to exact a rigorous account of the moral conduct of others, it is justified in one who thus into the most inquisitorial scrutiny into his own.
I know what unfeigned and treacherous ground I tread. Objectors, I am aware, are not wanting, who will exclaim, that I have lavished praise with too prodigal a hand—that I have been hurried away by my love and admiration of the man. I care not. The tribute I have paid him is little, to his merits—and would to God, that this little had come from any one who could more suitably have expanded and adorned it! This, however, I deliberately and steadily affirm—that of all the men who are, or who ever have been, eminent for energy and grace in composition, there is not one who, in genius and erudition, in philanthropy or piety, or in any of the qualities of a wise and good man, surpasses Burke.

FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
The self-styled Federalists have for a long time been endeavouring to impress an idea on the public mind, that Mr. Jefferson was an enemy to the late Gen. Washington. This charge like many others which have been exhibited against the President (with a view to destroy his popularity) has never been supported by the least proof; but calumny has ever been the dernier resort of a fallen faction.
It is well known that Mr. Jefferson filled (with reputation to himself and honour to his country) the important and confidential office of Secretary of State during a great part of Washington's Administration. This circumstance alone is sufficient to convince every unprejudiced person of the falsity of the assertion "that Mr. Jefferson was inimical to Gen. Washington"; but if any doubts should remain, the following extracts from the writings of Mr. Jefferson must effectually remove them.
Mr. Jefferson in his "Notes on Virginia," observes that—"we have produced a Washington whose memory will be adored, while liberty shall have votaries; whose name will triumph over time, and will in future ages, assume its just station among the most celebrated worthies of the world, when that wretched philosophy shall be forgotten, which arranges him among the degeneracies of nature."—The President in his inaugural speech, expresses his veneration and esteem for the character of Washington in these words—"without pretensions to that high confidence you reposes in our first and greatest revolutionary character, whose pre-eminent services had entitled him to the first place in his country's love, and destined for him the fairest page in the volume of faithful history, &c."
The "opposition party" (not content with having basely denounced Mr. Jefferson as the enemy of Gen. Washington) have had the arrogance and presumption to declare that they were the exclusive friends of that great man. But I trust there are few, in leaf who can be deceived by such false pretensions, particularly when we recollect that this faction (with some exceptions) is composed of apostate whigs, old Tories, partisans of Monarchy, partisans of England, and of her constitution, and consequently enemies to the principles, for which Washington and the Republicans of this country so nobly contended. Had Gen. Washington been supported during the revolution only by those men, who with so much modesty call themselves his "exclusive friends," we should in all probability at this time live under the mild government of England, and be honoured with the appellation of subjects to his Britanic Majesty.
Mr. Jefferson by his uniform attachment to Republicanism, has ever been particularly obnoxious to the enemies of liberty. They well know that he enjoys the confidence of a large majority of the sovereign people of America. The most despicable means are therefore resorted to by this faction to destroy his popularity. If they can but effect this, they flatter themselves that they will be able to succeed in their dangerous machinations against the constitution and liberties of their country. But we trust the Republicans will by their vigilance be able to counteract those intrigues, and thereby prevent the "reign of terror" from being again introduced into our country.
