MR. ELLIOT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. LETTER IX.
That part of the constitution of the United States which allows the people of the southern states, representation in congress and in the election of the president, for their slaves, (for it is not a representation of slaves) is the only part of that instrument which I consider as materially objectionable; and I shall not be deterred from an expression of my sentiments upon the subject, by the foolish outcry about an imaginary dissolution of the union. I have often said that I wish not to see the subject again agitated, in the form of an amendment to the constitution. Every one knows it must be unavailing. But it may still be useful that the operation of that part of the constitution should be better understood by the people than it has been hitherto. Information can do no harm in a republican government; the more the people know the greater the probability of preserving the constitution.
It is certainly true that the rich planter in the southern states who possesses fifty slaves, has thirty-one times the political weight in our national government than is possessed by the farmer or merchant of New England. He does not directly give so many votes, but the state is allowed them, and as one of the constituents of the representative and elector of his district, he possesses all that consequence.
At the same time he contributes much less than his proportion to the support of government, for the laboring slaves consume nothing of consequence upon which a duty is paid: and what the master does contribute is earned for him by the labor of slaves while the farmer and every man of business in the northern and middle states pays his taxes with the sweat of his own brow. It will be said that comparisons of this kind are invidious, It is false. Truth and correct information so far from meeting that character are always honorable and useful. With very considerable labor I have made some calculations upon this subject, for which I shall receive the thanks of every honest man in the district, and which will certainly give rise to reflections of a most interesting nature.
Table with 2 columns: Whole No. of persons in U. S. in 1790 (3,893,635), Deduct slaves (694,280).
Table with 2 columns: Three fifths of the slaves (3,199,355), Deduct slaves (416,568).
Table with 2 columns: Whole No. represented (3,615,923).
Giving one hundred and nine representatives and a fraction of 18923. But by loss of fractional parts of the ratio of representation in the apportionment of the several states, the actual number was only one hundred and six.
Of the 694,280 slaves, the states of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, contained 645,023, three fifths of which number is 387,012, which divided by 33,000, (and not calculating for fractional loss in the apportionment to the states, which would not in this case amount to one member) gives as the slave representation of the southern states agreeably to the first census, 11 members and a fraction of 24012.
Table with 2 columns: Whole number of persons in the United States in 1800, exclusive of Tennessee, Ohio, and the Territories (5,140,208).
Table with 2 columns: SLAVES. TOTAL. Tennessee 13584, Ohio 45365, Indiana 135, Mississippi 3489, In other states, slaves 875,225.
Table with 2 columns: Total slaves 892,433, Deduct in Ind. and Miss. unrepresented 14,491, Deduct slaves 888,809, Three fifths of slaves 533,230.
Giving 149 representatives and a fraction of 18,642. But by the loss of fractional parts, &c. the number is only 142.
By the second census, of 1800, 888,809 slaves, the same states contain 832,992, three-fifths of which is 499,794 giving 15 representatives and a fraction of 4,749.
I shall divide the United States into the three great natural divisions of northern, middle, and southern states. The northern receive no advantage, the middle but a trifle if any, and the southern a very important advantage, from the representation for slaves.
The table exhibits the decrease of slaves in the northern and middle, and their increase in the southern states, for ten years:
New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, R. Island, Connecticut and Vermont, contained in 1790—Total 1,009,522; slaves 3,836. In 1800, tot. 1,233,011; slaves 1,339. New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, in 1790, total 1,017,726; slaves 45,371. In 1800, total 1,464,017; slaves 40,894. Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North-Carolina, S. Carolina, & Georgia, in 1790, tot. 1,866,387; slaves 645,023. In 1800, total 2,437,231; slaves 832,992. The slaves in the northern states have decreased from 3,886 to 1,339, almost in the ratio of 2 and 3. In the middle states from 45,371 to 40,894, in that of nearly one ninth. Increased in the southern from 645,023, to 832,992, nearly one third of the original number, or in the ratio of 832 to 645.
Rhode-Island has decreased from 948 to 380. Connecticut from 2,764 to 951. New-York nearly stationary. Pennsylvania and Delaware have decreased a little, and Maryland made a small increase. Virginia has increased in the ratio of 345 to 292. Kentucky in that of 40 to 12. North Carolina in that of 133 to 100. South-Carolina in that of 146 to 107. Georgia has doubled her number. The increase gives four members of congress and as many electors of president in the southern states.
The increase of the whole number of persons represented has been as 49 to 36; that of slaves for which their masters are represented as 53 to 41; that of freemen as to 44 to 31. Let us calculate upon the same ratio of increase for 10 years to come. Increase the number of persons represented from 49 to 65—slaves from 53 to 68—freemen from 44 to 60, round numbers: there will be in 10 years more than 19 representatives for slaves. But if we calculate, as we may with probability, upon a much larger increase, upon the creation of new states in Louisiana, and the importation & propagation of slaves in that country, in 20 or 30 years there will be between 30 and 40 representatives in congress for slaves, and as many electors of president.
But another very gloomy part of the picture remains to be unfolded.
In the last ten years the whole number of persons in the northern or eastern states has increased only in the proportion of 12 to 10, in the middle as 14 to 10, in the southern nearly as 24 to 18. Free people in the eastern as 10 to 10, slaves in the southern as 83 to 64. Free people in the southern states from 1,221,364 to 1,604,239. Free people in the eastern states in the ratio of one fifth only of the original number; those in the southern states in that of nearly one third; slaves in about the same proportion.
By the last census the number of free persons in the northern states was 1,231,672 & in the southern 1,604,239—By the former census the number of free persons in the northern states was 1,005,636, & in the southern 1,221,364—How are the people in these different quarters of the union relatively represented? By the first census Vermont had two members, N. Hampshire
4, Massachusetts 14, R. Island 2, Connecticut 7—29 members. Maryland 7, Virginia 19, Kentucky 2, N. Carolina 10, S. Carolina 6, Georgia 2—46 members. 1,005,636 free citizens in the northern states had 29 representatives, and 1,221,364 in the southern 46 representatives. Without allowing any fractions of the ratio of representation in the apportionment to the several states, and making no allowance for slaves the northern states would have been entitled, by the census of 1791, to 30 representatives and a fraction of 15,636, the southern to 37 only with the trifling fraction of 364. In consequence, therefore, of the constitutional representation for slaves, the relative weight of the northern and southern states was only as 29 to 46, when otherwise it would have been as 30 to 37.
By the present census the northern states have 35 representatives and the southern 64, including Tennessee. 1,231,672 free people in the northern states have 35 representatives. The southern states including Tennessee contain 1,696,257 free people, and have 64 representatives. As above, the northern states would have been entitled by the census of 1800, to 37 members, with a fraction of 10,672.—The southern to 51 and a fraction of 13,257. It is as 35 to 64, and, were freemen alone represented, and that equally, it would be as 37 to 51. Instead of being little more than half, it would be more than two thirds.
But it is contended that the equal representation in the senate counterbalances this inequality; and the deceivers of the people have met with some success in this falsehood. I will prove it false in one minute. The 5 northern states contain 1,231,672 free people and send 10 senators; the 7 southern states 1,696,257, and send 14 senators. By a simple operation in the rule of three it will be found that the southern states, by their numbers, in proportion to those of the northern, are entitled only to 13 senators, with a fraction of 91 parts of 123. The middle states stand almost on the same ground with the northern. As it respects the senate they are on worse ground. With a free population but one eighth less than that of the southern states they have but one more than half the number of senators.
Vermont, for one hundred and fifty four thousand free people, has four representatives, Massachusetts, for five hundred and seventy four thousand five hundred and sixty four has seventeen representatives. New Hampshire for one hundred and eighty three thousand eight hundred and fifty has five. Connecticut for 250,051 has 7. Rhode-Island for sixty eight thousand seven hundred and forty two, has 1. New York, for five hundred and sixty five thousand four hundred and thirty seven has seventeen. New Jersey for one hundred and ninety eight thousand seven hundred and twenty seven has six. Pennsylvania for six hundred thousand eight hundred and thirty nine, has 18. Delaware for fifty eight thousand one hundred and twenty, has one. Virginia, the largest of the southern states, has in whole numbers eight hundred and eighty thousand and two hundred, deduct slaves, three hundred and forty five thousand seven hundred and ninety six, free people, five hundred and thirty four thousand four hundred and four. Virginia, with forty thousand one hundred and sixty free people less than Massachusetts, has five representatives and electors more. With thirty one thousand and thirty three less than New York she has five more of each. With sixty six thousand four hundred and thirty five less than Pennsylvania, she has four more of each. Persons now alive may see the day when the southern and western states will have more representatives in congress and electors of president, for slaves only,
than the northern will have for all their free people!
Whoever shall deny the truth of any part of this statement, the people may rely upon it is a deceiver and dishonored. If there be no accidental or typographical mistakes in the figures, every word of it is as true as truth itself.—Such a state of things is our own misfortune, and not the crime of the people of the south. We must make the best of a bad bargain. We must by all means preserve the constitution. Our situation is indeed wretched, as we have no compensation for this monstrous sacrifice. That which was intended as a compensation, (a very trifling one however) the apportionment of direct taxes has never been exercised but once, and probably never will be again. Still let us preserve the constitution.—But it cannot be treason, conspiracy or a division of the union, to contemplate our misfortunes, and calculate their consequences.
JAMES ELLIOT.
NEW-YORK, June 15.
By the brig Paisley, from Bordeaux, French papers to the 26th of April are received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, but they afford no news. We learn verbally that the destination of the Toulon fleet, which had on board 12,000 men, is to make an attempt on the island of Jamaica, and the Parisians spoke with confidence of its being compelled to surrender. The Brest fleet was completely manned and ready for sea. Mr. Monroe remained at Madrid, without any very sanguine prospect of bringing the dispute between that court and the United States to an amicable conclusion. Mr. Livingston was to sail from Nantes about the 20th of May, in the ship Mississippi for this port. The Paisley is the bearer of dispatches for government.
The claims settled by the American commissioners at Paris, and liquidated by the French board established for that purpose, were not finally admitted by the French secretary. Many difficulties had arisen between the American ministers and the French minister of finance on this subject, and it is doubtful whether the bills to be drawn by the American minister for the final liquidation of those claims will be sent forward until after the return of the emperor from Italy. Mr. Monroe, our minister extraordinary at Madrid had not left that place the 30th April.
French papers to the 28th April were yesterday received, but they do not contain any important intelligence which has not been published from our English prints. A very few extracts have been made—as follows:
PARIS, 30th Germinal.
The German journals again announce the march of 150,000 Russians towards the southern frontiers of Europe.
The official journal continues to publish, in the Italian language, addresses of devotion and fidelity to his majesty the emperor and king, from the different civil and military bodies, the magistracy and learned societies of the kingdom of Italy.
1st Floreal.
We learn that the election and principal states of the German Empire, are all forward to recognise the new changes that have taken place in the constitution of the kingdom of Italy.
Her majesty madame Eliza, princess of Piombino set out yesterday from Paris for her principality.

Gale to the eastward.
BALTIMORE, June 17. Captain Bunbury, of the ship Mary, came up last evening from Annapolis, has favored us with the following intelligence: June 13th, at 11 A. M. saw a sail a-head, bearing towards us, under full sail, beat to windward and prepared for action. At meridian, the schooner Eliza Ann, Capt. Richard Jones, came to anchor for East River, from Martinique, out 18 days, informed us the French fleet had arrived at Martinique and were bound to leeward. I immediately tacked to the northward and went aboard the schooner in my boat for further information. Extract from the log book of the schooner Eliza Ann, Capt. R. James, of East River, and Mr. John D. Jervis, supercargo, out 18 days, Martinique. May 14th, Capt. on shore at 3 P. M. a large fleet came in to anchor, orders were immediately given for no vessel to sail; the fleet came in which consisted of 18 sail of the line, (French and Spanish) 10 frigates and 2 brigs of 22 guns each, and a number of prizes, amongst which was the British sloop of war Lion.
An embargo was immediately laid on and continued till the 26th. In the mean time, all the vessels were landed from the fleet.
They had likewise taken possession of Fort Monroe. The fleet was to sail the 28th, and by report of some of the officers, who dined in company with Mr. Jervis, they were bound to Lee's Bay, having on board 8,000 troops, and a quantity of heavy artillery. They likewise informed the captain and Mr. Jervis, that they intended to treat any Americans, trading to the island of St. Domingo, very severely, but how far that treatment would extend, was yet undetermined, as some were for hanging and some for other punishment; some punishment was certain. Spoke the above schooner 27 leagues S. E. from Cape Henry, 13 days out, wind S. S. E. After extracting the above from the log book, and getting every other information, I thought it most prudent for the interest of the concerned, to return to the Chesapeake, as the risque, in my opinion appeared too great for the lives and property on board. After getting the aforesaid intelligence, I immediately bore away for the Chesapeake, wind S. S. E.—At 8, P. M. took a pilot on board, the pilot boat Argo, in company.

TUESDAY, JUNE 18.
Married last evening, by the Rev. Mr. Moore, captain Septimus Levering , to Miss Eliza Western , both of this place.
It is said the capture of Dominique was one of the principal objects of the Rochfort squadron in its late expedition to the West Indies. It was intended to attempt to retain it, and a Captain General and other officers to govern it, were brought out in the fleet. The possession of the island being deemed important on account of its situation. The intention was abandoned in consequence of the destruction of the town of Rosseau by fire. So that that which was deemed of great importance to the British, was, they may now think, the least of two evils which threatened it.
Captain Hatch, who arrived yesterday at quarantine in 15 days from St. Bartholomews, communicates the intelligence of the combined French and Spanish fleets having arrived at Martinique. He adds, that a French frigate was taking soundings at St. Lucie, preparatory, as it was supposed, to an attack; and that a general embargo had been laid on all the shipping in the French West India islands. [New-York paper.]
In a work, entitled, "A Key to the Phenomena of Nature," a French writer, Chevreul Dufresnoy, assures us, that, for six thousand years, mankind have been crawling about, without knowing it, on the back of an animal. This animal which lives, eats, drinks, and digests, which thinks, walks, and transpires; which has members and organs of speech; this wonderful animal is—THE EARTH. Thus, and thus only, can hurricanes, tempests, the eruptions of volcanoes, &c, be accounted for. It any one doubt it, let him read the work "of this new Naturalist." It every thing upon the earth is animated (he argues) why should not the earth itself likewise be so; the earth to which we are indebted for our support. If life be necessary for the growth of hair in man, how can the earth without the same faculty, produce grass in the fields, and trees in the forest? The proceeds with hair and with grass is the same. The former are rooted in our skin, and the latter in the skin of the animal earth, HUMUS. The nurse takes food, which she gives back liquified to the child. Does not she do the same, in order to furnish the nurse with vegetables, which she converts into animal food? Does it not imbibe particles of air and water, which it appropriates to the plant? As life is absolutely necessary for these functions, the earth which fulfils them must of necessity be alive and organized in the same manner as animals. Are not corresponding phenomena, results and objects, proof of the same nature, organs, and properties? The earth must, however, be provided with much stronger organs than a woman, her procedure through the same being on a much more extensive scale." [London pa.]
The Boston papers of Tuesday last, state that a severe gale had been experienced in that quarter. A new ship lying at May's wharf, and several vessels lying at Long and Rowe's wharf, received considerable damage on Saturday night. The schooner Harriot, Lorings, from Havanna for Boston, went on shore at Marblehead on the same evening, vessel lost, crew saved. A brig was likewise stranded near Salem. They further state that the sloop Elizabeth, eighty seven tons burthen, captain Samuel Lacy, of Weldoboro' ran on shore, about a mile and an half southward of the lights, on Plumb Island and beach on Sunday last, in a violent gale. The probability is that the crew is lost. She was boarded by people from Newburyport on Sunday; she was bilged and part full of water; every thing in the cabin was afloat. Two pocket books were floating in the cabin, containing the coasting licence and some money. The vessel may be got off.
Captain Wickam of the Ceres, from St. Jago, says, that no prizes have been brought in there lately, privateering being at a very low ebb at present, as there are a number of English cruisers off the Havanna, who have taken the French privateers Hazard, Regulator, and several others.

A St. Kitts paper, (received by the Neptune, from St. Bartholomews) of the 21st of May, says—"It is reported that a ship supposed to be his majesty's sloop Cyane, has been captured to windward of Barbadoes, by two French frigates.—We have heard that the Cyane was ordered to cruise on the Halifax station, and therefore hope that the report is incorrect.

Extract from governor Strong's Speech to both houses of assembly of the state of Massachusetts.
"The operations of banking, while under suitable restraints, may undoubtedly be useful to the state, by rendering its capital more active than it would be otherwise. Petitions have for several years been presented, at almost every session of the legislature, for the incorporation of banks. If such applications are repeated, it will be a question of importance, whether an addition to the present number would be a public benefit. Many of the bills of other state banks, with whose circumstances and management we are wholly unacquainted, circulate here; and the capital stock of the branch banks is seven hundred thousand dollars. We have besides in this state, twenty-one banks, which are allowed by law to issue thirteen million dollars; by their last returns it appears, that the whole of the debts due to them did not amount to eight millions. If the existing banks are authorised to loan a greater sum than the circulation can employ, the aggregate profits of banking would not be increased, nor would any additional assistance be given to trade should a number of other banks be instituted; they might indeed emit an additional quantity of paper; but the surplus would soon be returned to the several banks, and exchanged for gold or silver to be exported. New banks would not increase the quantity of specie, they would only cause a subdivision of it; and if they should be induced, from the desire of gain, or a disposition to afford extraordinary accommodations, to discount too liberally, the banks themselves would be endangered, and the directors might be compelled to diminish their discounts so as to occasion very serious and extensive commercial embarrassments."
"It has been said, heretofore, that the bank dividends were higher than the legal rate of interest, and therefore, unless petitioners were indulged with new incorporations, the law which forbids usury should be repealed. A measure of this kind might be more injurious than any proposed addition to the number of banks. If money was borrowed only on a calculation of profit from commercial enterprises, the borrower might be safely trusted to make his bargain with the lender; but a great part of the loans in the country are to persons embarrassed from misfortune or indiscretion; by a repeal of the law against usury they would be left to the mercy of their creditors, and avarice would prey without control upon ignorance and distress."
Method of tempering edge tools, of too brittle a quality. From a French publication.
"Having bought a neat knife, and paid handsomely for it, I found that whenever I attempted to cut wood, or any hard substance, the edge broke. This accident often repeated, soon made a flaw of my blade. I complained to the cutler, who very seriously told me, that it was a sure sign of the goodness of my knife. He finished by sharpening it, and receiving his six pence. This grinding happened so frequently, as to become more tedious than costly, and at the last reduced my knife to nearly the size of a large needle. A new blade was fitted to the handle; the same accident happened to it; it proved again of too brittle a temper. My patience now became tired, and I had almost determined to lay the knife aside, the handle of which I only regretted, when an itinerant scissors grinder gave me an effectual receipt; to plunge the blade up to the handle in boiling fat for two hours, and then, taking it out, to let it cool gradually; I followed his directions, and my knife cuts the hardest wood, ebony, box; even bone its edge now resists."
AMERICAN SILK.
In the year 1804, there was raised in the town of Mansfield, Con. between twelve and thirteen hundred pounds of well dried raw silk; every pound of which, when made into sewing silk, is worth about 7 dollars, and finds a ready market at Boston, Providence, &c. Should the production of silk be properly attended to by our citizens, they would ere long be enabled to raise sufficient to supply the union, and even some for exportation.

PANDORA'S BOX.
As the young heir apparent was conning his task.
And learning his maxims from godfather Paine, He took up "The Prospect," his mother to ask
The sense of Pandora, but asked her in vain, "Your fader can tell," said the sable dulcinea;
"Me tink it mean something like bloody arena."
Tom scamper'd away to his dad with the story, And told him he'd "found in the Prospect before ye,
"A hard crooked phrase, yclep'd "Box of Pandora."
"Why, child, can't you tell? ("I know it too well.—")
"No, Sire. It's a cave & a dry dock? have I guess'd?
"No, Tom, it is neither; 'tis CALLENDER'S CHEST!"

Runaway Negro DICK,
THE property of George G. Boon, (King George County,) was sent to my care in January last, to hire; on the 31st of May he obtained leave and a pass of me, to go to Fredericksburg and to return, but it appears has absconded. There is nothing remarkable in his person; he is about a common size man, about 30 years old, very black, is of a diffident manner at first, but is disposed to become familiar, he is very fond of dressing to the best appearance, and is remarkable for affecting to speak in a learned style, though commonly incorrect; he has been mostly employed in a tavern, for some years past, and is fond of such like employment.
Twenty dollars will be given for his apprehension and all reasonable charges by me, or his master, or John Johnston, Frederickburg.

For SALE and to RENT.
I wish to sell 900 acres of Land, on Sugar Land Run; being a moiety of 1800 acres, lying on the edge of Loudoun, and in Fairfax county, about 20 miles from Alexan- dria, 19 from George-Town, and about a mile and one quarter from the river—lies level. It has an abundance of fine timber on it equal to any in the county, and no tract of land can be more capably supplied with innumerable springs of the finest water; there is a part of it laid down in fine clover paddocks, with a good or- chard and several buildings fit for tenants. This and was deeded to me, several years ago, by Ferdinand Fairfax, Esquire—the title indisput- able, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land shewed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber.
An ISLAND in the Potomac,
About fifteen miles from George-town, Containing 216 acres; most of which is clear- ed: I am told, by those who have been in Ken- tucky, that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season. A great bargain may be had in the purchase of the first mentioned tract, and in the latter on rent, provided application be soon made. Possession may be had at Christmas , (when the present crop will be finished) with li- berty of sowing wheat this fall. It is supposed, by judges, there is a good MILL-SEAT, with a stream of water on the 900 acre tract. Any person desirous of purchasing will view it and judge for themselves.

THESE BITTERS have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreci- ated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent  Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dy-  senteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.

The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.
