TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. (Concluded.)
Mr. Bayard followed Mr. Griswold. He observed, that "Gentlemen who advocated this amendment, seemed to do it, because men of a certain opinion were appointed to office, as if they were to say, we know our principles are such that we have no chance of being appointed, therefore we will not suffer the President to appoint any body else. The gentleman from Georgia had expressed great surprise on hearing the principle avowed. But he asked whether this was not a principle of the first authority in this country—it was the principle upon which the sovereign people themselves acted. Did they ever chuse representatives of a different opinion from themselves? He believed no one would say they did. If he, or the gentlemen who differed from him, held different opinions from those they held, they should not appear in their present situations. The President was therefore justified in acting in the same way; and if he had ever deviated from it the deviation had convinced him of his error; and profiting by this experience, he trusted a similar conduct would be avoided in future."
Notwithstanding these bold, absolute declarations on executive duty, this man has been not only among the most violent members of the community, but, perhaps, the most violent in his denunciations of the present administration for those very measures carried to but a moderate extent, which he enforced as a duty on his predecessor, when carried to the utmost extent. Alas! frail man! What a child do thy interests and passions make of thee. James A. Bayard was nominated a minister plenipotentiary by Mr. Adams—Mr. Jefferson treated the nomination with disregard.
On the 24th of January, Mr. Craik, a federal member, said "He laid it down as incontrovertible, that in the government, the moment the executive loses the confidence of the people, that moment the government is destroyed." Then does it follow by inevitable inference, that every citizen, even should he be a flaming federalist, once in search of office, but now unfortunately disappointed, who attempts to deprive the executive of the confidence of the people, at that very moment does all in his power to destroy the government, and is unequivocally a disorganizer, and an enemy to the constitution. The confession is a precious one, as it confirms, beyond denial, the strongest charges made by their opponents."
Mr. Craik further says "He did not feel it incumbent on him to vindicate the executive against the charge of having determined to appoint only such persons as agreed with him in opinion, for he believed such a determination would be proper, unless it should ever happen that persons of that description should be found bereft of talents."
Mr. Goodrich, a federal member, remarked "It was said to be the interest of this country to annul all our foreign political intercourse. He did not deny, that separated as we are from Europe, that it might be for the interest and happiness of this country to have no connection with European powers."
It will be remarked that these expressions are strong corroborations of one of the leading sentiments entertained by the republican side.
Mr. Goodrich further observes "But it was said, the doctrine of favouritism had been adopted, and that only one description of men was appointed to office. He thought there was a great want of order in gentlemen who first brought forward this subject upon which it was difficult and indelicate to speak. The doctrine had been allowed without authority, for the President of the United States had not said that he had formed any such determination as was attributed to him; but if he had determined to select to office only those persons who had evinced, by their manners, an attachment to the constitution of their country, and to those measures which had been sanctioned by the legislature and himself, he thought he had adopted a right principle."
Remember, reader, that Mr. Goodrich was nominated to an office in the last moments of an expiring administration, long after Mr. Jefferson was, in accordance with the public will, named President of the United States. The nomination was properly considered by him as an insult offered to the sovereignty of the people. He, therefore, passed it by as a non-entity, and viewing the office as vacant, appointed another to fill it. Hence the New-Haven remonstrance so perpetually buzzed in our ears. Hence the loud and dolorous pity for Mr. Goodrich so tiresomely rung through the nation—And yet you will see that this very man, this commiserated sacrifice to the will of the people, this citizen of such amiable, and benignant spirit, is in fact his own executioner. For in so many words, he tells the President, remove me. That will be the necessary effect of "a right principle."
Mr. G. further says "The duties of the executive were to preserve the power of the country, to vindicate its rights; to protect its sovereignty, to execute the public will expressed through the law. Rob it of one of these powers, and you destroy the most valuable part of the government—depress it, and you only do it for a short time. It will rise on the affections and favour of the people, with new life and vigour. Indeed those attempts against the executive were calculated to produce a more strong and powerful executive than we now have."
Was he gifted with the spirit of prophecy when he made these remarks? Is it not a perfect delineation of federal violence and its effect upon the people?
Mr. Otis observed that "When a man, after rendering the most important services to his country for a series of years, is elected at an important crisis of national affairs to the high office of President of these states; his political opinions in general, and his sentiments upon the existing state of affairs, must have been known to the people by whom he was elected. It must also have been foreseen that he would pursue such a system of administration, and by the aid of such means and agents as would be best calculated to give efficacy to his own sentiments and system. His system, therefore, may be considered as sanctioned by the previous assent of the majority of the people. His constitutional patronage is the patronage of the majority, and to increase that majority by all fair means, is to increase the chance of public tranquility. It is an important duty that should be judiciously exercised, and not an offence to be disavowed."
Words cannot contain a more direct application of the measures of the President, or disapprobation of those who condemn them: and yet this very gentleman has fulminated on some recent occasions the most inflammatory denunciations against the executive magistrate.
COMMUNICATION.
FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
The Republicanism of the state of Pennsylvania has been most impressively manifested from the date of the dissent of the minority of their representative house in 1798, until the present time. That dissent was the first authoritative and public proceeding, in opposition to the principles which Mr. Adams had too intelligibly displayed before all America. The election of Governor, disputed between the supporters of Mr. M'Kean and Mr. Rofs, brought the body of the citizens into action on the subject. Out of seventy thousand votes, the majority for Mr. M'Kean in 1799 was about 5500. The principles, on the republican side at least, were ingeniously avowed by the committee of six, who had been appointed to conduct the election at a meeting of all the republican members of the four houses of federal and state legislature. The variety of interests united against Mr. M'Kean, induced even the foreign and American supporters of the British typographical partizan, William Cobbet, who at that time conducted a press in the metropolis of Pennsylvania. The combined efforts of the real republicans among the federalists, of the federalists, who are not republicans, and of the foreign supporters of Cobbet's open and audacious attack upon the independency of our public councils, all failed. Governor M'Kean succeeded, at that time, by the majority which has been mentioned.
The house of representatives of Pennsylvania in January 1800, were of Mr. M'Kean's politics, but the large majority of 15 to 9 in the state senate, were of opposite sentiments. At the election of 1800, two of those federalists in the senate were thrown out, and the memorable thirteen, who were opposed not only
to Mr. M'Kean, but to the election of Mr. Jefferson, remained. They have been complimented as a Spartan band. Of these thirteen, six were replaced by republicans at the election of 1801, and three have been replaced by republicans at the election of 1802, leaving only four federal members in the senate of Pennsylvania at this time. It is certain that those four would have been removed, if they had stood a poll, because the members of the senate or house elected lately in the same districts, are all republican. Among the senators rejected in 1800, was Mr. Woods, a connection of Mr. Rofs. In 1801 and 1802, twelve senators for Pennsylvania were elected, being two entire classes, and every man of them is a decided republican. They represent counties on Delaware, Susquehanna and Ohio rivers, and on the New-York, Maryland, Virginia, and federal boundaries of the state. They are from every quarter. Two federal speakers of the senate were among the rejected. The display of Pennsylvania republicanism has been strikingly great in the election of governor in 1802. Instead of an handsome majority of about 5500, as in 1799, the certain accounts received at Philadelphia on the 28th of October, give Mr. M'Kean a majority of nearly 29,000 votes, though four counties, in which he would lead, were yet unknown. He will be thirty thousand before Mr. Rofs.
This decided spirit is further evidenced by the elections for members of the house of representatives of the United States. Pennsylvania, with the first white population in the union, chuses eighteen members of Congress, and she has returned from her eleven districts, eighteen decided republican members of Congress, and not one federalist. The representative house, in the state legislature, is proportionally as republican as its senate. The final counties of Delaware and Somerset have returned four federalists, the former by a majority of one hundred and odd: the splitting of republican tickets has allowed two or three federalists to succeed in republican counties; and the Connecticut intruders have returned men in their interest, or from their state, in one blighted county, who claim to be of federal politics. It is a fact honorable to the republican governor, and his supporters, that the Connecticut intruders and their friends, who voted against him, and for Mr. Rofs, are nearly as numerous as all the majorities in all the counties in favor of Mr. Rofs.
In the city of Philadelphia five members of the select council and twenty members of the common council, were in dispute, and although a very interesting question touching the watering the city, was alleged to be implicated in the election, success attended twenty-five republicans. A mayor of the same politics was consequently elected.
It is worthy of enquiry what have been the causes which have so leadily operated upon Pennsylvania, against the current of the power and influence of the late federal administration.
As the seat of the federal government during Mr. Adams's administration, Pennsylvania witnessed the alarming attacks upon the freedom of opinion, displayed in the removals of the most exemplary labourers in the public service. She saw with horror and disgust the same proscription carried into private business and social life. Wealthy citizens and wealthy foreigners, not only excluded from society men of liberal minds, education and manners, but the tender sex; and denied their daily bread to the skillful mechanic and the industrious poor. Unequal treatment of like depredations on our commerce by two foreign nations; loans, in a frugal state, at a rate of interest one third more than its long established usage: an anti-national government by a party in two eastern states, substituted for the federal or national government of the country; a marked disregard of the just pretensions of Pennsylvania to a share of the executive, diplomatic, and judicial powers: the alarming abandonment of our territorial rights by Mr. Rofs in his ever memorable vote to accept, without one safe condition, the cession of the jurisdiction of the Connecticut reserve: the depopulation of the federal Connecticut men, upon the subject of the lands of Pennsylvania and New-York: the exaction of a federal land tax, when the quota of Pennsylvania could be found in the outstanding internal revenues: the increase of the regular army, and the substitution of a vast body of party volunteers (unknown to the constitution) for the national militia: the consequent evasion of the right of the people and the states to elect and appoint the officers of the greater part of the public force: the increase of the public debt at unprecedented rates of interest: the frequency of anti-republi-
can insinuations and practices, and the occurrence of unequivocal monarchical avowals by the two heads of the federal party: the alarming fact, that one of those heads had committed to the other, with a knowledge of his sentiments, the sword of the federal commonwealth: the votes of the family connections of Mr. Rofs in the state legislature upon the subject of arming the Connecticut intruders, as faithful Pennsylvania militia, and against punishing assaults, which might be committed upon the agents of the state to be employed in their motion: the support given by the Connecticut representatives and some of her federal connections, to the views of the intruders, during the last winter, after the most liberal votes of Pennsylvania and New-York on the subject of the reserve in 1800: the omission to prosecute Blount and Gilmor: the conversion to confidence produced among wise and good federal men by the conduct of the present national administration in respect to the public debt, public credit, foreign nations, the reduction of taxes, and the undulating of all American manufactures: the banishment of violence and the attention to the rights of property by the present chief magistrates of the union and the state. These, with a long list of similar circumstances, have nearly united the state of Pennsylvania in the republican cause; for it is well ascertained that only six federal men (excluding the two Connecticut men) have been elected this year, though the persons chosen as governor, representatives in Congress, state legislators and members of the city councils, amount to one hundred and thirty-five. To secure public confidence in Pennsylvania, public economy must be observed, menaces and apprehensions of men for constitutional sentiments, and a lawful support of them, must be avoided; public loans must be effected as or under the lawful interest; with the first white population in the union, that state must not be gradually worked out of her share of the principal executive, judicial and diplomatic offices; our militia must not be rejected for an aristocratical corps (unknown to the constitution) upon the tremendous scale of 80,000 men, officered by the President, and not by the state governors or the people; her territorial rights and peace must not be violated to the complete despoition of the property of one fifth of her country; the friends of such measures must not be proposed as her state or federal rulers, and above all things, those who have sworn "to support and defend the constitution of the United States," must not deny the full sovereignty of the people, which that constitution proceeds from and guarantees, nor must they avow in office their preference of an hierarchic, aristocratic and monarchical government. Upon the late occasion, the conduct of the religious societies, professing the doctrine of peace, has been most worthy and most wise. They would not support, by their votes, a man whom they believed to have acted hostily to the peace of Pennsylvania, in reference to the Connecticut claim, and to have injured, more than any other man, that grand and well earned mass of property, which Pennsylvania has acquired by one hundred and twenty years of industry, judgment and economy. Republicans and Quakers, and Moravians and Menonists, are equally friendly to the rights of property.
FIRMUS.
From the TRUE AMERICAN.
Mr. Bradford.
Having this day received the following Memorial, drawn up by the owners, supercargoes and captains of a number of American vessels, detained by the Spaniards in South America, I send it you, with a request, that you will publish the same, and thereby oblige all concerned as well as
Yours', &c.
A. Z.
We beg leave through you, to lay before the President of the United States, an account of the injuries we have suffered from the government of this country, and of the measures we have taken in order to obtain their redress. In doing this, we shall confine ourselves to a general description of those cases only which we conceive to be fairly of national cognizance, not being embarrassed with illicit trade or the least violation of the laws of this Province.
The most numerous class of sufferers consist of those who either in the United States, or some foreign ports, let our vessel to freight to the subjects of his Catholic Majesty, to come here and load on their account, with the produce of this country. The Spanish subjects thus

Freighting these vessels possessed either generally, as importers of negroes or specially by Royal Letters Patent, the privilege of shipping the produce of this country in foreign bottoms. It was with the knowledge of this privilege, and with the full expectation the Spanish government possessed of such good faith, wantonly to revoke it, or to impede its free enjoyment, that we let our vessels to freight in the manner above mentioned. Sad experience, has however taught us, that this expectation was ill founded, for, after our having been detained here for months beyond what was reasonable or necessary, those who freighted the vessels have not been allowed to load them, according to their stipulations with us, and as by the aforesaid privilege they had a right to do. Encouraged by this example of injustice, on the part of the government, these individuals have in their turn, ventured to sport with the solemnity of contracts, and whatever the rate of demurrage, relieved by Charter Party, bears any just proportion to the injury occasioned by delay, they they dishonorably refuse to pay. Thus between the tyranny of the government and the treachery of individuals, we are compelled to remain here and behold our vessels rotting, without the least prospect of indemnity.
Another class of sufferers, but nearly resembling those already mentioned, consists of such as having sold their vessels to Spanish agents in the United States, undertook the delivery of them, and agreed to receive the purchase money in these ports. This right, which Spanish subjects here possess, is derived like their right of freighting them, either from the general privilege ceded to the introducers of negroes into this colony, or from the special licence of the King.
The agents who purchased our vessels took good care to induce our confidence by exhibiting to us their evidence of this right, and we, like our deluded countrymen above mentioned, came here with the most perfect reliance on the honor of the government, and the honesty of its contracting subjects, but like them, we have been disappointed. Some of our vessels of this description, have now been above seven months in these ports, the government unrighteously refusing or delaying the sanction of the transfer, and the individuals badly availing themselves of this iniquity of their rulers, for a pretext to refuse payment. Hence we find ourselves among inhospitable strangers, with vessels which their bad faith has turned on our hands—without funds sufficient even to preserve these vessels in repair.
All the vessels comprised in both the foregoing classes, came here bona fide in ballast, and we do not know that the government here has any suspicion to the contrary.
There is however, a third class of sufferers, who have reason perhaps still more recently to feel their wrongs, these are such as found themselves in the ports of the Brazils immediately after the commencement of hostilities between Portugal and Spain, it was then that the persons and property of Spanish subjects in these ports were menaced with arrest and imprisonment, with seizure and confiscation, and it was at this perilous crisis that our countrymen were induced to relinquish their more lucrative pursuits, and to rescind their persons and their property from the mischiefs with which they were threatened. This was certainly an action which gave our countrymen a right to expect on their arrival here, if not a cordial and friendly welcome, at least protection and justice. Instead of this, however, they have been assaulted with illiberal surmises, perplexed by vexatious professions, and oppressed and ruined by detention. More than a year has now elapsed since some of them have been waiting here for the fulfilment of their contracts while government has slept between the parties, and prevented what it was its duty to have enforced.
There is a fourth class of sufferers who, although few in number, find their embarrassments here equally ruinous. These are such as in the prosecution of long voyages in the Indian or Pacific Oceans, were forced by necessity, into this river for supplies, and while there waiting in hopes of hospitality, were encountered and taken possession of by cruizers in the service of this government. These vessels, with their cargoes, which are valuable, have been taken from their rightful owners, without any specific cause being alleged therefore, by those concerned in the depredation. No charge is exhibited against which we can direct a defence, but the whole process is conducted in a dark and mysterious manner, and we are left to conjecture the end in view, by the general bearings merely of the interrogatories of which they extort from us the answers.
These four classes comprise most of the cases arising from injuries done to our property; injuries, which we, with due deference, apprehend are not only in violation of good faith; but in many respects of the laws of nations, and of the existing treaty between the United States and Spain.
You will find a particular statement of the vessels alluded to in these classes, in the inclosed paper, No. 1. the documents and peculiar circumstances of each
case will be furnished by those therein immediately interested.
In addition to these injuries done to the property, there are others still more humiliating, which have been inflicted on the persons of American citizens. We have seen our fellow-citizens' thrust into loathsome prisons, where disease and chagrin have impaired their constitutions; where every species of villainy, which swam in the corruption of a rotten state, have been their bed and board companions, and where the torn and mangled members of executed felons, have been scattered among them, to increase their disgust and horror. Yet, no crime has been alleged against those unhappy sufferers—no cause assigned for their commitment, and no motives can be conjectured for such barbarous treatment, of men habituated to law and liberty from their infancy, than the mere love of oppression, or the hope to torture them into the confession of some imaginary guilt, or to betray or falsely criminate those who have entrusted and employed them.
We are indeed all treated as the members of a weak and contemptible nation, which has neither the means nor the spirit to protect us. Our government is the suzer and scoff of those in authority here, and our flag has been ignominiously hoisted with the union downward on board a King's frigate, while those of others (even of petty nations) have been displayed with honour.
To obtain redress for these injuries, we have given our frequent personal attendance on this government. We have endeavoured to move it by individual supplication and to route it by general remonstrance; but to no effect. The enclosed paper, No. 2. is a copy of a remonstrance, which we presumed now more than two months since, and which, with all our applications have been passed over with the most mortifying silence. Since then, we have thought it prudent to address the American Minister at Madrid; a copy whereof, No. 3. you will receive herein.
Such are the injuries we have suffered, and we are still suffering here, and such are the measures we have heretofore pursued, in order to obtain their redress. But worn down by the persevering injustice of this government, deeply wounded by what we conceive a wanton and arbitrary violation of our right, we feel at length compelled to fly for protection to the government of our own country. It is there we expect to find the prompt and powerful guardians of these rights, and it is there we look with filial confidence for their vindications.
In this address to you, we have endeavoured to employ the manly language of the injured citizens of a great and independent nation. If it may now and then have appeared too bold, we trust you will impute it to those uncontrollable feelings, excited by our wrongs. We have aimed at nothing more than the discharge of a duty, which we conceive we owed to ourselves, to our employers, and our country. Believing as we do, that the interest and dignity of the Republic is deeply concerned in ensuring a just and honourable treatment to its citizens in foreign countries.
You will please to accept our best wishes for your personal health and happiness, and believe us to be with the most profound respect, &c. &c.
In the City of the Most Holy Trinity Port of St. Mary of the Buenos Ayres 10th June, 1802. Being in deliberation in their usual Royal Chamber of Justice, Senore Don Benito de la Malo Linares Knight of the Royal and distinguished Spanish Order of Charles the 3d. Don Sebastian de Velasco, Don Francisco Thomas de Anzoategui, Don Francisco Garala, and Don Touchim Bernardo de Campuzano Regent and Cidotes of this Pretorial Audience: Having under consideration the proceedings had in council, passed to them by his Excellency the Vice Roy, relative to foreign vessels freighted to export produce and hides for the amount of slaves imported agreeable to the Royal Order of 1791, and all other matter of said proceedings: Gave their respective opinions; which his Excellency having considered, agrees with, by decreeing that those interested in the affreightment of foreign vessels, and whose entry the Fiscal opposes in his official capacity, as not having special Royal permissions, have no right to be admitted under their Charter Parties, nor to export in them, as the proceeds of slaves, hides or produce to the injury of the preferable Charter Parties of the Spanish vessels now here or have arrived in consequence of the peace.
With regard to the existing doubt whether they ought or not, be permitted to load—That solely with a view to the good faith alleged by the Freighters together with the interpretations of some Royal Orders less decisive, and some instances of permission granted by his immediate predecessor, permission will be granted, by way of equity to those vessels which have been three or more months in port, pending these proceedings, the freights of the Spanish vessels being agreed upon and complete, at the expiration of two months which I assign them, may export the surplus of hides and produce, on account of the importers of negroes, proof being previously given of being the proceeds thereof.
That in this determination in favour only shall be included, such foreign vessels which shall be proved to have come in ballast, without including those, which under pretext of exporting produce, have brought cargoes of more or less value, affording cause of the proceedings which have been commenced against them, and which the Fiscal ought to hasten to a conclusion—Nor those vessels exceeding the number of Tons prescribed by the Royal Order of the 23th Nov. 1791.*
That the preceding benign determination to load this surplus is not to extend to those foreign vessels which may hereafter arrive without special royal permissions, for, from the circumstance of not producing them, on the instant of their arrival, they shall be excluded, with only such succour as may be absolutely necessary. An order shall be forwarded to this effect to the Governor Sub delegate of Monte Video and commanding officer of Estenada.
And lastly, That with respect to what is determined in this deliberation, there shall not be any application or memorial till the determination of his Majesty, (to whom an account will be transmitted with the necessary proofs, for his Royal approbation or determination) as to what may be his sovereign pleasure. That a copy of this be served on the Consulado for their government.
* The Order here alluded to is one for regulating the Slave Trade, and which prohibits the importation of goods or produce of any description, in the same vessel with slaves, and the better to prevent the concealment of goods, &c. limits the vessels to be employed to 500 tons—but says nothing as to the exportation of the produce.
From the Morning Chronicle. The United States frigate Adams has arrived at Gibraltar, after a passage of 42 days. She was rather sickly; a fever having originated on board, and destroyed several of her hand.
IMPROVEMENT IN NAVAL ECONOMY.
Some time last winter, means were adopted in the navy department for keeping the public ships free from nuisances, and in a sweet and wholesome condition by means of alkalies. A fair opportunity offered of carrying this plan into operation, on board the frigates employed on the Mediterranean service.—Dr. George Davis was charged with the making of proper experiments upon the efficacy of pearl-ash, barilla, and lime, in the ship Chesapeake, in which he failed. Since his arrival on the Barbary station, Mr. Davis has been directed to perform the duties of fleet surgeon until the existing disputes shall be reconciled. In this capacity he has persevered in the use of those purifying substances, with all the advantages that had been anticipated from their operation. A continuance of health has been the consequence of this cheap, easy and efficacious mode of keeping the interior of ships perfectly clean.
Extract of a letter received from an American gentleman at Gibraltar.
MOORISH CASTLE.—June 30. I obtained permission to examine the remains of the Moorish Castle. Its ruinous state prevents your ascertaining anything of the different apartments. Part of the stair-case is still remaining: it is spiral of stone, and appears to have been very ingeniously cut and ornamented. The terrace or roof of the building is of handsome white stone; and gives a distinct and extensive view of great part of the province of Andalusia. Its height is about ninety feet, breadth sixty. I visited this, otherwise uninteresting spot, from an opinion of its having given rise to, or aided, in a particular manner, the writers of the novel and opera of Blue Beard —and although I have not found the blue chamber, yet I have discovered some foundation for the suspicion. The time this Castle was built is not correctly known; but it is reported to have been the work of the Bashaw Abomeque, son of the Emperor of Fez, who besieged Gibraltar in 1332, which place surrendered in five months; and that his descendants kept quiet possession of it until 1410. He had a wife, or favorite, by the name of Fatima. His death was sudden—the manner not recounted. His character is represented as cruel and brutal. The scenery is accurately represented on the New-York stage. The zig-zag roads cut through the rock, and the terrace from which Fatima's sister looks for aid, are also correct. The cloud of dust she first discovered may have come from the sand banks near St. Roque—the names have also some right to their corroborating the suspicion.
I give this to you talis qualis . Drink-water and James' History of Gibraltar has aided me.
There is a singular Moorish building near the Spanish lines, which boasts of antiquity, but its use I cannot devise; it is called the Devil's Tower, and is about 40 feet high. There is but one entrance, viz. at the top. It might have been considered, in early days, a fortress of some strength, and possibly, the sole defence of Gibraltar from the inhabitants
of Spain. Its strength will not readily yield to time.
As I am with the Moors with the Moors, I cannot pass over the wall, which is considered as one of the curiosities only as it respects its great strength. It is related, but I cannot give you the authority, that this was the work of the Moors who were held in captivity by the Spaniards, upon a sacred promise, that when completed, they should have their liberty; but, the work ended, every surviving Moor was inhumanly massacred.
From the Aurora. The Irish, who were invited to America, true friends of property, under Republican Government.
Great concern and apprehension is affected upon the subject of the naturalized citizens of the United States, who have partaken in the late elections. The Irish republicans in particular, are un candidly and ungenerously selected as the objects of abuse on this occasion, though the congress of 1775, enlightened and patriotic as they certainly were, offered them UNASKED, an asylum in this country, and invited them to oppose the British government, by a special and most animated address. The attempts to create discontent and alarm, are the most insinuating and violent in the eastern states, though Mr. John Adams was on the committee of the old congress, which prepared the address; exciting the oppressed Irish to insurrection. We shall publish the address here, with the names of the committee. There are frequent endeavours also to alarm the Delaware state about the naturalized Irish. That subject is treated ably in the National Intelligencer.—Let people consider whether the county of Newcastle, in Delaware, is not much more flourishing than Kent or Sussex, tho' the Irish families in the former are more numerous than in both the latter counties. Let them also consider, whether Pennsylvania is not far more flourishing than the Delaware state or New-Jersey, though the former has many more Irish than both the latter states. Those who remember the Pennsylvania elections, prior to the revolution, well know that nine hundred Germans have been naturalized at one count in Philadelphia, and have decided an election of that time. Who will hesitate to say, that the least valuable Irish or German settlement in Pennsylvania is not far, very far, better for the state, than the Connecticut intruders in Luzerne, who have voted for, or elected some of their number, (though now under legal conviction for conspiracies) as their members of assembly? These Connecticut men, the true enemies of the prosperity of Pennsylvania, voted for Mr. Ross, John Franklin, and John Jenkins. The Irish have served the men of property and the peace of the state, in voting for Mr. McKean. We are precise and bold on this all-important assertion; and we hope every printer attached to the territorial rights of Pennsylvania, and to the character and tranquillity of our country, will give publicity to these ideas, that they may be denied or disapproved, or be accepted or admitted. Let it never be ungratefully forgotten, that the German and Irish settlers in Northampton, Luzerne, Northumberland, Lycoming, and the country west of Alleghany river, have effectually checked the progress of Connecticut intruders; and that every Irish republican in our state legislature concurred in the wholesome laws, to repress the invasion and coerce the injustice of those intruders, which have been enacted in the time of governor McKean.
IMPARTIAL.
ANSWER Of the General Assembly of Vermont to the Governor's Speech:
SIR, We have heard your Excellency's patriotic Address with much satisfaction. We most sincerely wish, that the just and generous feelings, by which you are actuated, may not only pervade the Legislature, but every other branch of the government. We are properly impressed with the weighty trust of appointing the public functionaries. In our execution of that duty, we shall endeavor to adhere to those maxims of propriety which you have so forcibly inculcated in the beautiful language of elegant supplication. We wish you, Sir, most sincerely lament the progress of party spirit. True it is, and with sorrow do we acknowledge that the moderate, the wife, the prudent WASHINGTON, with all his great and good qualities, did not escape from the tongue of slander. Endeavors also have been made, at no very distant period, to envelop in a cloud of black detraction, those patriotic exertions of an ADAMS, so highly suspicious, and evidently serviceable at an early period of our Revolution, in an hour of extreme weakness before even we had arrived at the years of political manhood. But the animadversions on the administration of our present Chief Magistrate—our mild, our serene, our benevolent JEFFERSON, have been clothed in language charged with peculiar and unprecedented venom. The purity of his motives, the applause he receives from the great majority of his Fellow-Citizens, must however sweeten his injured feelings, and create in his heart
a generous and beneficent compassion for his revilers.
While we do not all embrace the same political opinions, we unanimously deplore this encroaching rage of party spirit—this vehement zeal, which tends to inflame the passions, and misguide the judgment.
We unite in our wishes, that every error in Government may be strictly watched and publicly analyzed, not in the indecorous phrases of contumeliouslander, but in that pure and chaste language, by which, and which alone, the page of argument can be adorned or conviction enforced on the honest, intelligent and inquisitive minds.
We are sensible that our interest and safety, as a State, are involved in our Federal connection with our sister States, and we will unite most cordially, in every measure which tends to strengthen the union and augment the dignity of the U. States.
In the new arrangement necessary to be made respecting the choice of Representatives to Congress, that just regard shall be paid to the letter and convenience of the Electors which the importance of the subject requires.
We with heartfelt pleasure Sir, embrace this opportunity of assuring you that we view your unremitted attention to the discipline of our brave and meritorious Militia, as a strong additional proof of that paternal solicitous care, with which you have constantly watched over the interests of this State: The propriety of extending the public patronage, in providing them with fire arms and field artillery, as far as circumstances will permit, shall be made the subject of early discussion.
The flourishing state of our schools and colleges cannot fail of giving high satisfaction to the legislators of a people, who maintain as a primary article of their political creed, that science and virtue are the corner stones of a republican government.
We shall be ready to receive any other communication from your Excellency which may be pleased to lay before us, hoping that all our public acts may conduce to the best interests of the state, and that you may receive all that satisfaction in your high office, which does result, and can alone result from the consciousness of being the principal labourer for the common good.

FRIDAY, November 12, 1802.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
For Representatives in Congress.
On the 1st inst. Seventeen Representatives were chosen. The following districts are heard from:
Suffolk, including Boston. Dr. Eustis, republican, 1899 J. Q. Adams, federal, 1840
Essex South District. Jacob Crowninshield, repub. 1400 Timothy Pickering, federal, 1293
Crowninshield elected by a maj. of 107
Partial returns have been received from the following districts: NORFOLK, from 7 towns. Scaver, republican 571 Hitchborn, rep. 59
PLYMOUTH, from ten out of 15 towns. Mitchell, federal 974 Warren, republican 817
ESSEX, north from 5 towns. Cutler, federal 706 Kitteridge, repub. 319
WORCESTER, south for 14 towns. Hastings, federal, 881 Bangs, republican, 628
WORCESTER, north for 5 towns. Stedman, federal, 283 Whitney, republican, 141
Thus does it appear that the last hope of federalism is blasted. Its main pillar is shaken; its totters, and the period of its downfall is at hand; and one of greatest strength and beauty, the pillar of republicanism, rises on its ruin. John Quincy Adams and Timothy Pickering, both mighty men of the East, have been declared unworthy of the public confidence.
In no quarter of the union have more unworthy attempts been made to spread misrepresentation, to blacken the characters of the administration, to impeach the purity of their motives, to vilify their measures, and to inflame personal and local jealousies.
But all these unworthy efforts have proved unavailing. In many districts the friends of freedom have been vigilant, & their enlightened zeal has given wings to truth.
In Boston, two prints have made a firm and successful stand against a misnamed Palladium and a treacherous Continel; and in Worcester and Salem, spirit and intelligence have presided over the prints.
The whiggism of seventy-six has been awakened, and its effects in this state, as in every other, have been most powerful.
On Monday last a choice of Governor of Maryland was made by the legislature of that state; the votes given were as follows:
For John F. Mercer 53 James Murray 21 W. V. Murray 1
John F. Mercer is therefore re-elected by a great majority. The votes are a criterion of the strength of parties, and show the vast ascendancy of republicans.
Samuel J. Potter, the present Lieutenant Governor of Rhode-Island, a firm republican, is elected Senator in the Congress of the United States for six years preceding the 3d of March next, in the room of Theodore Foster, who declined a nomination.
During the session of the General Assembly of Rhode-Island, a committee was appointed to count the votes for representatives to the eighth Congress. They reported the number to be for
Stanton, 2604 Knight, 2398 Potter, 1633 Tillinghast, 1636
Consequently Gen. Joseph Stanton was elected by a majority of 971 votes, and Nehemiah Knight, Esq. by a majority of 962. Thus republicanism has triumphed by 971 majority.
On Saturday the General Assembly adjourned to the 4th Monday in February next, then to meet at Bristol.
James Millhouse is re-elected a Senator of the United States, for the state of Connecticut.
Federal detraction charges Mr. Paine with poverty, as though it were criminal to be poor, and considers him dependent for subsistence on the charity of his friends.
It might be sufficient to reply to such remarks, that the disinterested patriot and the war-worn soldier, two of the most illustrious characters delineated in
history, are generally poor; and that their poverty is stronger evidence of virtue, than the possession of millions. But as their attestation to personal integrity are too often treated with derision by the inmates of a counting-house, we shall inform them that Mr. Paine is not poor; that he is not only independent in his circumstances, but that he possesses real property that will enable him to enjoy all the substantial comforts, and a good portion of the luxuries of life.
The last failing ship Swift, Capt. Gil-leader, arrived at this port yesterday, in 33 days from Bordeaux. We are indebted to the politeness of capt. Speyer, who came passenger in this vessel, for a file of Paris papers to the 26th September, inclusive.
The only prominent article relates to the troubles in Switzerland, which have risen to a very serious crisis. To this subject our translations are principally confined.
We are happy to announce that the report of the death of the illustrious M. La Fayette is without foundation. A Paris paper of September 23d mentions that the English Demosthenes, Mr. Charles Fox, was about setting out from Paris to spend a fortnight with him at his country seat.
New-York, November 6.
Captain Porter, from the brig Quantabycouk, from Port Republican, informs us that the insurrection in St. Domingo was general; that on the 20th September, about seven leagues from Port-Republican, a dreadful engagement took place between the French and the people of colour, in which the latter had the advantage, and would probably have entirely destroyed the enemy had not 400 French troops unexpectedly made their untimely appearance in the very heat of the battle, and obliged the negroes to retreat with the loss of more than 100 men.
On the 26th September sixteen of Toussaint's officers, who were at liberty on their parole, and had half pay, escaped to their old friends, and occasioned much alarm to the inhabitants.
Hartford, October 28.
The following is the state of the votes of the Freemen, as returned to the General Assembly, for persons to stand in Nomination for Assistants in May next.
Federal. Oliver Ellsworth, 8258 Nath. Smith, 8169 David Daggett, 8143 C. Goodrich, 8067 Wm. Hillhouse, 8046 Th. Seymour, 8023 Wm. Edmondson, 7929 Jona. Brace, 7899 Aaron Aultin, 7848 Joseph P. Cook, 7814 John Chester, 7791 Elizur Goodrich, 7780 R. Newberry, 7633 S. T. Holman, 7632 Shubael Abbe, 7520 Simeon Baldwin, 7424 Math. Griswold, 7356 John Allen, 7168 E. Whittlesey, 5587 Jonathan Barns. 4953
Republican. Ephraim Kirby, 4680 Elisha Hyde, 4497 S. W. Johnson, 4456 E. Devotion, 4436 Marvin Wait, 4396 Amos Palmer, 4353 R. Hitchcock, 4279 Jabez Fitch, 4249 John Welch, 4126 W. Bradley, 4089 Timothy Skinner, 4070 J. T. Peters, 3993 Daniel Tilden, 3928 S. Whittlesey, 3926 Elijah Munson, 3925 Joshua Stow, 3885 Isaac Spencer, 3841 Eben. Barnard, 3788 William Hart. 3757
From the foregoing statement it appears that the Republicans have gained since the last year, the average number of 800 votes, which is an increase of near one fourth. The embarrassment produced by the free election Law upon the freedom of suffrage, has probably suppressed Republican votes equal to one fourth part of the number given in October last. The average number of votes returned for the Federal ticket last year, was 7,453. The average number for the Republican ticket, was 3,525. The average number for the federal ticket the present year, is 7,551—and for the Republican, 4,088.
But the gasconading Editors of the Sunday paper, continue to boast, a rapid increase of federalism in Connecticut. The House of Representatives contained about 40 republican members in October, 1801—about 55 in May, 1802—and at the present session contains between 70 and 80.
At the formation of the House, there
was a diversity of opinions among the republican members, whether to attempt to place a republican in the Speaker's chair, or not. Many believed that the candidate, generally thought of, might be much more useful to the public in debate, than in the chair—therefore but a part of the republican votes were given to him. This circumstance has afforded the federalists a short lived exultation.
But a man so hard hearted indeed, who is unwilling to allow them to seize upon any circumstance which may for a moment mitigate the anguish of expiring struggles.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
GOVERNOR.
Table with 4 columns: Counties, McKean, Ross, Total. Lists votes for various counties including City of Philad., County of Do., Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, York, Cumberland, Berks, Northampton, Bedford, Northumberland, Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette, Franklin, Montgomery, Dauphin, Luzerne, Huntingdon, Alleghany, Mifflin, Delaware, Somerset, Lycoming, Wayne, Adams, Crawford, Centre, Greene.
Majority 28,891
And three counties unheard from.
The paper then enumerates eighteen members of Congress elected, all of whom are Republican—eight State Senators elected, all of whom are Republican; and eighty-six State Representatives elected, of whom 77 are Republican, and 9 Federal.
Lancaster, October 27.
We have just learned that the returns of the general election already received at the Secretary's office, give a republican majority in favour of Thomas McKean of more than twenty eight thousand, and the returns of five counties are not yet arrived; when these arrive there is no doubt but that our majority will exceed thirty thousand.
The republicans of the borough, understanding that the governor intended to go to the city in a few days, did not think it necessary to wait the arrival of the remaining five returns, as his election had already become certain; but yesterday gave him a dinner at Mr. Gontier's tavern; the dinner was elegant and the wine excellent.
A more general, a more lively joy has on no former occasion illumined the countenances of our friends; and more conviviality and harmony cannot be conceived. Every man's "heart was upon his face." Nothing was to be concealed among us. It is impossible that the governor's heart should not have been cheered by the strong evidence displayed of the people's confidence in him, and affection for him, and of the powerful confirmation which his present election gives, of the public approbation of his energetic character.
TOASTS.
1. The state of Pennsylvania—free, sovereign and independent. 2. Our sister states—severally equal in freedom, sovereignty and independence. 3. The union—may its laws and treaties forever be supreme and efficient to the great purposes expressed by the constitution. 4. The President of the United States—may the clamor and calumny of faction at length convince him, that republican measures will never be supported but by republican men—9 cheers. 5. The legislative authority of the union—may it never be prostrate at the feet of the judiciary. 6. The midnight judiciary bill—its repeal does honor to the firmness, wisdom, and virtue of America. 7. Plotters and intriguers—may they ever entangle themselves in their own webs. 8. The rights of franchise—may they be wisely guarded, effectually protected, and never cease to be duly exercised. 9. The press, its rights and duties—licentiousness will certainly and severely punish itself. 10. Our first Congress—its acts will rise and shine, when the proudest pillars of ambition shall have fallen to "dust and ashes." 11. The memory of General Wash-
ington, and the revolutionary army—they were distinguished in peace, and retired with honor! Dead march.
12. Thomas Paine, esquire—may his revolutionary services be gracefully remembered by the people of America—Yankee doodle.
13. France and other nations of Europe—they have their hands full: let us mind our own business—Vive la!
14. The whig majorities of 1802—may they forever distinguish the republicans of our country—Song and Jefferson's march.
15. The county of Lancaster, and its glorious 700 majority—6 cheers—The Jovial Millers.
16. Domestic felicity—the fairest offspring of legitimate government—Rural Felicity.
Charlestown, October 28.
The crop of cotton of this year is now beginning to appear at market. It is with great satisfaction we state, it meets a ready sale, and commands a higher price than it was supposed it would a few months ago. The crop in the low country are not as productive as they were the last year; but in the upper country, the quantity of short staple produced is much greater than it has been at any time heretofore.
Extract from Jefferson's Notes on Virginia.
"IT should be our endeavour to cultivate the peace and friendship of every nation, even of that which has injured us most, when we shall have carried our point against her. Our interest will be to throw open the doors of commerce, & to knock off all its shackles, giving perfect freedom to all persons for the vent of whatever they may choose to bring into our ports, and asking the same in theirs. Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is their interest to go to war. Were the money which it has cost to gain, at the close of a long war, a little town, or a little territory; the right to cut wood here, or catch fish there, expended improving what they already possess; in making roads, opening rivers, building ports, improving the arts, and finding employment for their idle poor; it would render them much stronger, much wealthier, and happier. This I hope will be our wisdom."
From the Boston Chronicle.
POETRY.
Notwithstanding your predilection in favour of Republicanism, I doubt not you will readily comply with my request to publish the following, and thereby prove that as you advocate, so you are willing to grant the liberty of the press.
A ROYALIST.
COME federal men and tories, Unite both heart and hand, And by one noble effort Crush the rulers of our land.
Sound the royal trump with glee, Yankees ne'er l' again be free.
Our federal, State Election, That great, important day, Shall free the sons of Liberty, And strike them with dismay.
Republicans must then retire, And set their hearts at rest; With freedom and democracy, They'll ne'er again be blest.
Elections by the People, That "Wolves" in human form, Must be abolished by our feet To free us from alarm.
Then when you get them under, Down, keep them down, I say; And let them never rise again To mar our royal way.
Restrain the freedom of the Press, And make all Priests swear That they will ne'er again attack Friends of a kingly power.
Lay heavy taxes on small farms, Poor peasants then must sell, And royalists can buy them out, And hire them cheap to till.
Then will "the swinish multitude" With rancours freely hear "The galling yoke of slavery," And we shall know no fear.
Hail Monarchy! the world's best hope, Thou guardian, friend to man Let no rude hand thy power annoy When it hath once began.
THE LAWS OF THE ROAD.
THE laws of the road are a paradox quite, For when you are travelling along— If you keep to the left you'll sure be to right, If you keep to the right you'll be wrong.

NOTICE.
THE Inhabitants of Washington are particularly requested to give in to the Treasurer correct lists of their property, real and personal, on or before the 15th of the present month. To those who were assessed in August and September, 1801, it will only be necessary to list such additional property acquired since that time, and such property as may have been transferred. To render as little trouble and inconvenience as possible to the inhabitants, those living in the eastern part of the city may leave their lists in the letter-box at the Marshal's office; those of the western part, at the post office. Others, and all, if they choose, will be thanked for leaving their lists at my lodgings, at Mrs. Johnson's, on E Street, near the Bank.
By recurrence to the corporation law, authorizing the levying and collection of a tax, they may see what property is liable to be taxed. It will be necessary for all the lists to be at the places described, to be signed by the proprietor, and directed to me. It is earnestly hoped the inhabitants will comply with the above requests, as the short time allowed by law for completing the assessment cannot be complied with without their measures.
