DISSERTATIONS ON THE DECEPTIVE ARTS OF DEMAGOGUES.
The demagogues of our country, among a hundred glaring instances of their artful and crooked policy, have successfully attempted to dupe the public by professions of veneration for the character and administration of Washington. They have the unmeasurable assurance to entwine his honors around their own brows and to attempt building their characters upon the column of his immortal fame. They insidiously pretend to be pupils of his school, to cherish with tenderness and affection his memory, and to follow his maxims: Yet they had platted a crown of thorns for his head, and had planted the stings of scorpions on his pillow. It was an early period of the administration of Washington when the same men who have at length opened to themselves the road to power, were found leagued in a general conspiracy against his measures and using their utmost efforts to weaken and disjoint his authority. Their first attempts were conducted with caution, but when increased in numbers and strength and borne forward by the tide of success, they became open and insolent. They first dropped hints and artfully excited suspicions; they feigned a jealousy of executive power and patronage, a trembling of heart at the extreme danger which from hence threatened the liberties of the people: they pretended to have no wish to derogate from the character of Washington, no disposition to deny the merit of his services or to question his integrity; but considered him fallible and corruptible, like every other mortal: liable to be led astray by evil advisers and to be corrupted by power. It was, they pretended, hazarding the safety of the commonwealth to repose such boundless confidence in one man, and to invest him with such ample powers and extensive patronage; that the vast extent of his popularity and the weight of his character rendered him but the more dangerous, and that his having long acted as a military commander must have inspired him with despotic sentiments. These artful insinuations and surmises, after having floated some considerable time on the public mind, at length changed their shape and assumed the serious character of positive and direct accusations: and the onset once made, their hostility against this excellent man never ceased till he dropped the reins of government, nor even till he dropped into the grave; and perhaps concerning some of them, it would not be too harsh to say, that "their affliction in their death was drowned in their joy." His actions they artfully discolored by misrepresentations, the foulest imputations they fixed on his motives, and no means did they neglect, no arts did they leave untried, to stain his honors and blacken his fame. They advanced, they retreated, they shifted their ground and mode of attack, but never lost sight of their main object: every opportunity for calumny that fortune threw into their hands, they eagerly seized, and actions the most disinterested and patriotic they glossed into crimes. The danger that threatened the public from executive power and ambition, was the fruitful theme of their declamations.  Those crafty watchmen pretending a zeal for the people's rights which they never felt, busied themselves in throwing up intrenchments to prevent the encroachments of the president and every possible circumstance, was seized as a ground for charging him with the assumption of unconstitutional authority. His proclamation for a national thanksgiving, was loudly exclaimed against as an alarming stretch of power, an infringement of the rights of the people, a daring violation of the constitution. That executive act, dictated by piety drew forth an extraordinary fervor of zeal and bitterness of invective, and efforts were made to alarm the public mind as if the main pillars of the government had been shaken. What then! does Washington presume to proclaim a national thanksgiving? There is no such article in the book; the constitution gives him no authority of this nature; and if suffered thus to disregard and overleap the sacred character of our liberties, his will may soon become the law of the land. Such was the language of the day, and such a holy jealousy of the encroachments of executive power, was manifested while Washington held the reins of government! His proclamation of neutrality, an act of consummate wisdom, that saved the nation from a fruitless and calamitous war; was stigmatised with every epithet of reproach: the mob-leading zealots, let loose their rage against the au-
thor of that measure, on whom their invectives were thenceforward lavished with increasing acrimony and with such constant perseverance as plainly indicated a deep-rooted enmity. I will not indulge in mere assertions; I appeal to authentic documents and to undisputed facts.
The first newspaper that originated in the plan and apparently for the express purpose of opposing the administration of Washington and reviling his character, was the National Gazette, established at Philadelphia at that time the seat of the general Government, and edited by Philip Freneau, who meanwhile was employed by Mr. Jefferson, then secretary of state, as an interpreter of the French and Spanish languages. That paper having had a general and almost exclusive circulation in the western parts of Pennsylvania, was, with good reason thought to have caused the whiskey insurrection. When the National Gazette was dropped, the same system was taken up and continued with increased violence and bitterness, in the Aurora, which was at first conducted by Benjamin F. Bache. It will in some manner appear, how deeply Washington felt the stings of the detestable calumnies that had been thrown upon him from this paper, from the subjoined copy of a letter which he wrote to col. Humphreys, dated June 12, 1796.
"From the office of State you will receive every thing that relates to the public concerns; and the Gazettes, which I presume will accompany the dispatches, will give you a pretty good idea of the state of politics and parties in the country; and will show you, at the same time, (if Bache's Aurora is among them,) in what manner I am attacked for persevering steadily in measures which to me appear necessary to preserve us (during the conflicts of the belligerent powers) in a state of tranquility.
But these attacks, unjust and as unpleasant as they are, will occasion no change in my conduct; nor will they produce any other effect in my mind than to increase the solicitude which has long since taken fast hold of my breast, to enjoy in the shades of retirement, the consolation of believing that I have rendered my country every service to which my abilities were competent; not from pecuniary or ambitious motives, nor from a desire to provide for any one further than their intrinsic merit entitled them to; and surely not with a view to bring any of my relations into office. Malignity, therefore, may dart its shafts; but no earthly power can deprive me of the consolation of knowing, that I have not, in the whole course of my administration, however numerous they may have been, committed an intentional error."
It was not long after the date of this letter when Mr. Bache the editor of the Aurora, died, and the direction of that paper fell into the hands of William Duane, who (as well as Callender) had before that time been employed as a writer for it, and was probably the author of much of the abominable slander and abuse of which it was the vehicle. Duane, soon after his arrival into this country, had highly recommended himself to the leading jugglers who were embarrassing the government, by a publication under the signature of Jasper Dwight in which he attacked the administration and person of Washington with a fiend like malignity. No fitter tool for the infamous work assigned him, could have been found. Possessing a considerable share of talents, together with a superlative measure of conceit and impudence and a rancor of heart that perpetually whetted & stimulated his industry, he had superior claims to patronage. In about nine months after President Washington had written to col. Humphreys, the letter I have copied into this essay, he retired from office; and the next day after his abdication, namely, the 6th of March, 1797, the following paragraph was published in the Aurora.
"LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation," was the pious ejaculation of a man who beheld a flood of happiness rushing in upon mankind—if ever there was a time that would licence the reiteration of the exclamation, that time is now arrived; for the man who is the source of all the misfortunes of our country is this day reduced to level with his fellow citizens, and is no longer possessed of power to multiply evils upon the United States. If ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is the moment; every heart in unison with the freedom and happiness of the people, ought to beat high with exultation, that the name of Washington from this day ceases to give a currency to political iniquity and to legalize corruption; a new era is now opening upon us, a new era which promises much to
the people; for public measures that stand upon their own merits, and nefarious projects can no longer be supported by a name. When a retrospective view is taken of the Washingtonian administration for eight years, it is a subject of the greatest astonishment, that a single individual should have cancelled the principles of republicanism in an enlightened people just emerged from the gulph of despotism, and should have carried his designs against the public liberty so far as to have put it in jeopardy its very existence: such however are the facts, and with these staring us in the face, this day ought to be a Jubilee in the United States.
Let the reader, to which ever political party he belongs, who really respects the memory of Washington, impartially view these documents; let him consider too that Duane has been and now is a favorite at the seat of government, a table companion of our president, who has placed him in business, the clear exponents, whereof are some thousands of dollars a year; finally let him consider that under the present administration almost every distinguished and efficient friend of Washington has had the mark of reprobation fixed on him, and that almost every notorious enemy and defamer of Washington, has been noticed, exalted, and manifestly regarded with complacency; and after having weighed all these circumstances, let him form his own conclusions.
Those men claim to have been in close and cordial amity with Washington, and the people are gulled by such gross hypocrisy! It is too intolerable.

NOBODY.
Aye, Nobody, and why not? As for my single self I see no just cause or impediment why my name and a newspaper should not be joined together, in the tenacious bands of scribbling wedlock as any airy body. There's your Busybody and your Anybody, and your Somebody and your Everybody; each, each in his turn runs the race of tipographical notoriety—whilst I who boast a pedigree as great nay, (being eldest of the Body family) of greater antiquity than either, am doomed to group through the labyrinths of mercurial consequence. Against such an unequal distribution of rights among the brethren of the same principle, of the same texture, I solemnly protest; & more especially against the unhallowed profanation of my good name and character. Yea, in my own proper capacity I am resolved to defend both; and contrary to a certain dogma of philosophers, prove that I, Nobody possesses the fundamental principles of a real body or matter; inasmuch as I occupy space, to wit, length and breadth; tho' as for depth I do not contend.
All my enemies—that is, all the world, utter daily calumnies on my fame; Ought I not then to avenge it?
Says Goody Gaffer, "John! you will be the ruin of your family; carousing it every night: who was with you last night?" "With me mother—nobody!"
Little master lets fall a glass, it breaks, in comes the nurse—"Sirrah! who did this?" "No body!"
Miss has a lover; he stays late; next morning a female friend gets a hint of it, (for the balmy breeze whispers these things to the sex.) She calls on her, and after some chic-chat, dryly observes. "Why really Melinda, you seem indisposed to-day—I fear you rested ill last night; Oh! while I think of it, prithee what rude creature kept you up so unseasonably? "Rude! me! up! (stammering and crimsoning) why; why; Nobody. (Zounds! when I'd swear by the ghost of a shadow that I never saw the huzzey.)"
Obidiah Primrose is a beau; he struts about big with himself; wears a frizzled crop; bolster cravat; three inch vest; sack panaloons; Suwarrow boots with tassels; carries a six inch rattan, and visits the ladies. The other day in a large circle whilst officiously pressing a lady to take some lemonade which she had repeatedly declined, he turned a part of it upon her gown. A friend who sat near, but did not at the moment see the transaction, shortly after observing her gown soil'd, enquired who did it; Maria, twisting over the tip of her nose and glancing at Obidiah, replied with burlesque solemnity, "Alas! Nobody!—(What an insult to my name!)"
A young woman makes a false step; it leaks out—all the world whispers "Whose is't? whose is't?"—and the same world maliciously answers "Nobody knows" (Scoundrels! when I know nothing at all about it.)

But these are only small thefts: mere petty larcenies on my reputation—in future I may expose some of a more heinous nature. Mean time Mr. Winter, as I am willing to bear all that belongs to me, should my cousin, Anybody, ask you who writes this, you're welcome to tell him it is NOBODY.
NEW YORK, May 24.
The regular trader, and fast sailing ship Sarah and Eliza, capt. Holland, arrived at this port last evening in 38 days from Liverpool.

Arrived, ship Clyde, Newell, in 29 days from Berbice, and 14 days from St. Thomas.

Flour from 12 to 14 dollars. Markets dull at Berbice.
The Clyde was boarded by 4 British privateers between St. Kitts and St. Thomas.
Capt. N. informs, that 15 American vessels were at Tortola, two of which were brigs from Martinique for N. York, Mr. Cock, supercargo.

MONDAY, MAY 27.
From Holland.
Capt. Star, of the brig Eliza and Mary, arrived on Saturday last, from Rotterdam, in 46 days passage. He is the bearer of no papers, or verbal information, which throw any fresh light on the subject of European politics; but merely observes, that from the general conversation of the merchants at that place, he understood, there was no prospect whatever of the speedy restoration of peace in Europe.
[Boston paper.]
From the Mediterranean.
A letter, received in town from Malta, of the date of 6th March, states, "That the American squadron sailed three days previous, on different routes in search of 5 Tripoline privateers, which they learned were out on a cruise. One Neapolitan vessel which had been captured by them, was retaken off the island of Strombola, and had arrived at Malta."
[ibid.]
With sincere regret we learn that the honorable Roger Griswold, and the honorable Calvin Goddard, two of the representatives in congress from this state, have resigned. The real friends to the constitution of the United States, and the principles upon which it was administered for the first twelve years, we have no doubt will lament with us, the event which we have just mentioned. The people of the state with pride have witnessed their exertions in endeavoring to preserve the constitution and government from destruction. Mr. Griswold has been in congress ten years, and during the whole of that period if we are correctly informed, he has been absent from his seat but one day when the house of representatives was in session. To his distinguished talents, his perfect acquaintance with legislative duty, his extensive political science, and his commanding eloquence, even his political enemies bear unequivocal testimony; and we doubt not that the intelligence of his resignation, will be the most pleasing news that has reached their ears for many a year. We think it
of Despotism : They talked loudly of reform, when their wish was to produce anarchy, the better to lay hold on power. Such is now seen to have been the fact. If the well meaning but beguiled and mistaken part of the American community; who have so long and so attentively listened to the professions of home-bred demagogues, who, like their prototypes the French demagogues perpetually bawling about "liberty, equality, and the sacred rights of the dear people;" merely to conceal the projects of their own aggrandizements, from those whom they make their dupes: If, we repeat, our honest but deceived countrymen would permit themselves to be taught by experience, what an admirable lesson for their instruction would the history of late events in France prove. In that history they would see, that in the course of a few short years, an aspiring warrior, who once uttered no other creed than that of "liberty and equality;" who made the air resound with his oaths and protestations of "eternal hatred to kings and royalty;" who swore to "overthrow palaces and protect cottages" has, by cajoling with the popular credulity, elevated himself and family to the throne of despotic empire; and to hold the sceptre of a distant kingdom: To command the last shilling from the pockets of his subjects, to gratify either ambition or avarice and all that the cheated French people have obtained, as the boon for all their toils and deprivations, for the oceans of blood which they have so freely spilled; and the millions they have expended, is the exchange of the mild rule (for such was that of Louis XVI.) for the iron reign of a military despot. From this lesson they would learn the inevitable consequence of demagogism. If any honest democrat doubts the fact, and does not wish to be led blindfolded, wherever his leaders choose to conduct him; let him peruse the Federal American newspapers, for the last ten years; and he will find that the federalists, who have always proved themselves to be the tried friends of our republican constitution, have never ceased warning their fellow countrymen of those inevitable consequences of the arts practiced by demagogues to delude and then betray them: That they would lead directly to royalty and would end in the U. States, as they have ended in France—in Despotism —That the Syren songs of "Liberty, Equality, and a violent attachment to the rights of the people," which have been chaunted; had no other view than the personal aggrandizement of the singers, at the expence of their followers. True it is, the American people have not, like Frenchmen, drank deep of the cup of infatuation: But they have tasted enough to be convinced of the deleterious quality of the ingredients; and being convinced, it is hoped they will withdraw their confidence from men, who pursue by the same means, the same end in America, which Bonaparte, &c. &c. have pursued and obtained in France. [Boston Centinel.]
From the Paris Gazette of Feb. 27.
A QUESTION OF JURISPRUDENCE. "A foreigner, can he pursue before the tribunals of France another foreigner, to oblige him to fulfil the stipulations of a contract made in France, and which ought to be executed in France?" The first section of the court of appeal, sitting at Paris, in its audience of the fourth of Ventose, determined the question negatively.
Mr. Montflorance, citizen of the United States of America, brought a suit against Mr. Skipwith, commercial agent of the U. States, and a citizen of the said states. This suit had for its object the execution of agreements subscribed by each party, at Paris for operations, which could only take place at Paris. It was brought before the tribunal of commerce of Paris; Mr. Skipwith refused to acknowledge the jurisdic-
tion of the tribunal, and demanded that it should be remanded before the tribunals of the United States; the tribunal quashed his plea, and Mr. Skipwith having appealed from the judgment, he was affirmed in his appeal by the court of appeals. As the tribunals of the United States take no cognizance of actions brought against an absent person, when the absentee is in a foreign country on a mission from his government, all the commercial agents of the U. States in France, by the above decision are secured from all suits brought by their fellow citizens as long as they resided in France.
TANNING. —The plant tormentil, or septfoil, which grows abundantly every where, and the great bistort, or snakeweed, are found by the Prussian chemist, Hermstadt, to be infinitely preferable to oak bark for tanning. One pound and a half of tormentil, or three pounds of bistort, will tan a pound of dry hide, which requires seven pounds of oak bark. He likewise recommends the use of the leaves of the oak tree in tanning leather.
