PARTY NAMES.
To call the Federalists Republicans, and the Democrats Republicans also, is, "confounding Alexander the Great with Alexander the Coppersmith." It is mingling under the same description, men between whom exists every species of political distinction. It is converting the saying of the President, and denoting by the same name "brethren of different principles." Which-ever party has the best claim to the appellation, it cannot belong to both. If Democrats are republicans, federalists are not. The original founders of the constitution, and its original opposers; the friends of Washington, and his foes; they who endeavour to uphold the judiciary, and they who demolished it; those who are for maintaining national character and honor, though it should cost something, and those who will submit to be ill treated and despised, on the sole condition that it will cost nothing, are too far apart, in the feature of their minds, to be included in the same political definition. Names are of no consequence in themselves; but they become important by the acts of political jugglers.—It therefore behoves the federalists to vindicate their right to the republican character, and to declare to the world that they ought not to suffer in their reputation, because demagogues are attempting to acquire a false credit by borrowing their name. The magic of sounds cannot last long: but it often lasts long enough to do incalculable mischief. France no longer sighs for "equality."—She has followed that meteor, till it has conducted her thro' the tumults of anarchy to the quietude of despotism. There is scarcely a family in France who has not lost a brother, a son, or a father, in following the steps of pretended republicans; where are they now? just where demagogues will place every country, whose destinies they controul—beneath the sword of the strongest. The delusion has at length departed, but it dragged the veins of the nation till the sword bleded her to faintness.
We can readily determine, who in this country ought to be considered republicans, if we will first settle a few primary inquiries. Is our national constitution—I should have said was our national constitution a republican system? Were its founders republicans? Was Washington a republican? If these questions are answered affirmatively, it would then seem that federalists, the friends of Washington and the constitution, are republicans also. On the other hand is Napoleon Bonaparte, first emperor of the Gauls, a republican? Is the secretary of the Pennsylvania insurgents a republican? Are William Duane and Thomas Paine republicans? Are they who abuse the memory of the first President republicans? If so then federalists are not; they protest against the alliance, and shake off the name as the greatest pollution that could cleave to them. "Shame would burn their cheeks to a cinder," if they could not remove the imputation of being of that sort of men, with whom malignity to Washington is a first principle. Yet let the democrats if they choose, begin at this late hour to applaud him. Let them proclaim themselves his disciples, and be so regardless of his reputation with posterity, as to seek to join their own name with his. They therefore called him an "incendiary," a "traitor," a man who legalized corruption, and gave currency to iniquity." Let them now convert their reproaches into eulogy, and the servid wrath of political enmity, into the zeal of cordial friendship. His spirit if it could awake from the sleep of the tomb, would indignantly spurn the connection. It would say, "you that now profess to be my friends, I ever found to be my deadliest enemies. You opposed every important measure of my administration. You struggled against every effort to balance the new Government. You quarrelled with my proclamation of neutrality. You smiled at the accursed labors of Genet. You strove to unite the country with France, in the war against Great Britain. You raised the western country in rebellion against my measures." To a great personage, he would say, "You sir, wished to tarnish my fame! You read and circulated Bache's paper. You countenanced its calumnies. You envied me the laurel, of which it had pleased my country to think me worthy."
The republicanism of democrats consists in a headstrong attachment to names and persons. They abhor monarchies because kings wear crowns, and sit on wool sacks. They adore a dictator or a consul, because he says he "loves the people." Federalists are republicans, not in the dexterous
and artful application of the name, nor in the discriminating approbation of every one who wears it, but in their opinion on the government. They prefer the republican system, because they think it best calculated for the happiness of man, and affords the best chance for civil liberty. But if a President were to exercise his power as capriciously, or as tyrannically as a monarch, they see no great consolation in the difference of the names. If it were possible for a President to forget the high duties of his office, and become the head of party; to act on a system of favoritism: to brandish the scymeter of power over the head of every officer, who had the independence to think for himself; to reward the calumniators of his predecessors, to prefer foreigners to his own countrymen, countenance the most violent designs on the constitution, and have in all things an eye to the gratification of his partisans, and the perpetuation of his own power. It does not seem to federalists, that there is a material benefit in the name by which the constitution calls him. It has ever been the object of the "Disciples of the Washington school," to settle the government. To improve its principles by practice, and give them fixture and permanency by time. While in office they faithfully preserved the arrangement in the distribution of powers established by the constitution. Each department regarded the limitation of the law; and did not "covet ought that was his neighbour's," but performed its functions in harmony with the rest. Had Washington himself grasped at greater power, than the law had assigned to his office, federalists had been foremost to resist him. Whatever love they had for his character, they had more for the country and for the constitution which they believed the country's richest blessing. This distribution of power among several departments, and this faithful regard to the limitation of that distribution constitute the republicanism of Federalists.
Let us now appeal to the sense of the community, if it has not been the unceasing aim of the Democrats to unsettle every thing; to break down barriers and confound distinctions. Mr. Taylor of Virginia, in his speech in the senate on the subject of the judiciary declaimed largely against cherishing a "Metaphysical Ideology." Nobody could guess what was meant by this, until he saw fit to explain. We then discovered his meaning to be, that we ought not to be attached to any thing. The nation, on his plan, was not to venerate any fundamental principle. Nothing was to acquire the force of a maxim. His system was to try one thing to-day, and another to-morrow, and every thing in its turn—to patch & cobble, and tinker, whenever there seemed an occasion, or appeared a fancy for an alteration. These sentiments form a pretty good comment on the conduct of his party. That party is ever ready to put up or put down, to create or destroy, as the promotion of ambitious purposes may require. Eight years ago, they were for depriving the President of all power, because he was Washington: they now seem willing to clothe him with supremacy, because he is Jefferson.
They were unwilling to trust Washington and the Federal Senate with the making of the British treaty: but they seemed disposed to make Mr. Jefferson Lord Paramount over Louisiana. Nicholson and Randolph are not more sovereign on their own Negro plantations than they have made the President over that country.—The consequence is, that the inhabitants remonstrate and petition; they will soon grow imperative, and threaten consequences, if they are not immediately admitted into the union. To quiet the storm, the Government will probably be compelled to admit them. The doors of the Senate and House of Representatives must be thrown open to their delegates, and we shall hear from Congress speeches in French, Spanish and Creole. Happy! if the ulterior consequence of all these things be not a dissolution of the Union.
Thus it is, that wild ambition democratises every thing.—Cherished by the applause, and supported on the shoulders of a deluded, cheated and injured people, it pushes on its course, impatient of controul, regardless of obstructions, heedless of consequences. The pillars of society are shaken in the commencement of its career; the powers of government are quarrelled for by the different branches; or more commonly given up to the most artful and aspiring; its limitations are violated—its distinctions obscured; uncertainty and confusion assert their empire over it, and like creation, when chaos presided o'er the mingling elements, it is "without form, and void, and darkness is on the face
of it." A deluge of blood then succeeds the deluge of false principles, and false politicians; till mankind, jaded and harassed by contending factions, are willing to give up the liberty of being butchered by demagogues, for the slavery of being protected by tyrants. Thus perish nations by the deceitfulness of their pretended friends. Thus despotism reigns in countries once cheered by the light of Freedom, and Jacobinism adds itself, a fourth plague, to the catalogue of War, Pestilence and Famine.
MANLIUS.
From the New York Evening Post.
President's Message. —In our examination of this Message, it will be impossible not to descend occasionally into a degree of verbal criticism which would hardly be allowable in any other case, and which seems almost to detract from the weight of the very serious objections which our duty will compel us to urge against the matter itself. But in our judgment, where the first magistrate issues a solemn state paper, which is to be re published not only throughout the United States, but throughout Europe, the character of the nation is concerned in its being at least free from improprieties. It is not that the careful selection of correct and suitable expressions is a matter of positive merit, but certainly the neglect of it is inexcusable and disgraceful. What will be thought of our literary character abroad, not very exalted at best, when it is seen that our President, in his official communications, is incapable or careless, of writing English? We are much mistaken if those who are men of sense among Mr. Jefferson's best friends, are not very much ashamed of the paper now before us. To proceed—
"The irregularities too on the ocean, which generally harass the commerce of neutral nations, have, in distant parts disturbed ours less than on former occasions."
Mr. Jefferson in the preceding sentence had been speaking of the "flames of war," and now he says "irregularities too on the ocean." Can war with any propriety be denominated an irregularity? or can the occasional disturbance of neutral commerce be denominated a war?
"But in the American seas they have been greater from peculiar causes; and even within our harbours and jurisdiction, infringements on the authority of the laws have been committed, which have called for serious attention."
Which is the antecedent to they? occasions, or parts, or nations, or irregularities? But what is meant by his, "peculiar causes." Is any specific meaning conveyed by this vague expression?
"The friendly conduct of the governments from whose officers and subjects these acts have proceeded, in other respects, and in places more under their observation and controul, gives us confidence that our representations on this subject will have been properly regarded."
Not one reader in five will understand the meaning of this sentence, from the harsh disjunction and ill arrangement of its members. But what is the amount of the information: "The friendly conduct of certain governments give us confidence that our representations will have been attended to." Have any positive assurances been given by those governments to whom these representations have been made? Has France promised either indemnity for her numerous captures, or satisfaction for her atrocious violation of our sovereignty? What has she said about the immense property of which her privateers have plundered our merchants, and carried into Spanish ports? And what atonement has been offered for the flagrant infringement of our national rights by her cruisers in blockading our harbours, and making prizes within our jurisdiction? We have not forgotten the affair of L'Hazard, a French privateer, which cruised so long between Tybee and Charleston Bar, making prize of American as well as British vessels, under the mouth of our cannon at Fort Green. Nor have we forgotten that when some of the United States officers went down to Cockspur, to enquire into the reasons of such conduct, she treated them with insolence and set the force of the United States at defiance Gun-Boat and all. For this and other similar atrocities what has been done, what has been said? and what has been the reply? This was early in the spring and after eight months has the President nothing better to tell us than that "the friendly conduct of the government in other respects from whose officers and subjects these acts have proceeded gives us confidence that our representations will not have been disregarded?" Similar questions will apply to the "irregularities" committed by Spain,

and particularly by Great Britain. What has been done in reparation of the violations of our national sovereignty committed by her frigates in the harbour of N. York? Fortunately Mr. Jefferson's editors have saved us the necessity of any attempt to prove the facts in this case. Nothing, therefore, remains for us but to be informed of the steps taken by our Executive, and what has been done or promised by the British Government. On this point we anxiously solicit information. It would be gratifying to know which of the "friendly governments," Great Britain, France, or Spain, have by their "conduct" given us most room for "confidence" that our "representations will be properly regarded," our injuries redressed, or whether any thing has been done by either? The high importance of this subject to the nation, surely demanded exemplary satisfaction for the enormities committed.
Our reputation was at stake upon the conduct to be pursued; if such insults are once quietly submitted to, that reputation, so important, so essential, is gone. It therefore became a paramount duty in our administration promptly to seek for a reparation equal to the indignity received, and in a manner to inspire its citizens with elevated and correct ideas of the honor of their country. Whatever, therefore, Mr. Jefferson may think of it, and however he may be inclined to pass over the subject as an affair of trivial consideration, he may rely upon it, the attention of the people has long been turned upon its government, and raised expectations have been entertained of the elevated conduct it would adopt. Such expectations are not to be relinquished till a satisfaction has been received equal to the injury done to our violated rights. Away then with the vague, unmeaning, puerile language of this miserable message. We trust that the nation will not rest contented with such soporific nostrums as are here attempted to be administered. After reproaching the former administrations with a want of true spirit, because they even attempted to obtain satisfaction for injuries received without first declaring war; after exciting the whole nation into a ferment, because the unauthorised acts of individuals, were not at once attributed to the government of Great Britain, and war and reprisals resorted to in the first instance; surely it is with an ill grace that now, the same men who raised the clamour are forward to attribute a more flagrant violation of our sovereignty than was ever before experienced, to officers and subjects, and not to the governments, and quietly submit to the indignities and injuries, with all the humility and patience of a poor broken hearted slave.
(To be continued.)
England. "It is now evident that the views of certain men of influence, in the majority, endanger the interests and independence of the Northern States. They must be opposed or we are ruined. The Northern members, continued he, must unite, our party disputes must be done away, and we must consult our safety and security by cordially blending our exertions for the support of the Northern interest." Such were the ideas suggested by General Varnum, and this assertion I solemnly pledge myself to support.
Political and Historical Remarks on the Invasion of England.
The subjugation of the British islands has been the favorite scheme of the French politicians ever since the kings of England lost their territorial possessions in France. The civil wars between French Roman Catholics and French Protestants, during the sixteenth century, the rivalry with Spain, then a preponderating power, were, for a long time, an insurmountable obstacle. But as soon as Cardinal Richelieu had crushed the French Protestants by the capture of La Rochelle, and humbled Austria and Spain by the victories of Gustavus Adolphus, his plots and emissaries began to disturb the reign of our Charles I. and factious Britons became, in his hands, the tools with which he intended to destroy the independence of the British empire. Charles I. perished upon the scaffold, and Richelieu died in his bed, but his plans survived both. Cardinal Mazarine, his successor, as Prime Minister, added Italian subtlety to French audacity. In bowing to Cromwell's usurpation publicly, he secretly kept up the hopes, and encouraged the intrigues and attempts of the exiled or proscribed friends of the Stuarts. After Charles II. had been restored to the throne of his ancestors, Mazarine and his successor, Louvois, employed the republicans as the royalists were employed under Cromwell, to disturb the internal tranquility, to weaken the power of the king, and to undermine the resources of the nation, preparatory to an invasion from abroad. Any person who reads the memoirs of Dalrymple, containing the correspondence of the French Cabinet, at Paris, with the French Minister here, may be convinced of these facts, and that all political parties, and all religious sects were courted and paid by France, for no other purposes but the ruin of their common country.
When the misled James II. was obliged to seek a refuge in France, Louis XIV. threw off the mask, and threatened openly this country, as well as Ireland, with invasion. The fate of the Spanish Armada, and the repeated repulses of partial armaments, did not deter him. The battle of La Hogue convinced him, however, that it is more easy to mislead Britons by foreign emissaries, than to conquer them by foreign soldiers. Ineffectual and trifling succours were sent by him to the Scotch insurgents of 1715, and by Louis XV. to those of 1745; invasions were at the same time talked of only to create a division upon the continent, and by creating a necessity, to withdraw the British troops. During the seven years war, when most of our force was combatting in Germany and America, the Duke de Choiseul, Prime Minister to Louis XV. collected 50,000 men upon the opposite coast, and vessels enough to carry them over; but the great Chatham was appointed to the ministerial helm, and instead of waiting for the enemy, France was invaded, the fortifications of Cherbourg were demolished, the transports in its harbours captured or burned, and Belleisle was added to other British conquests. During the American war, the superior combined fleets of France and Spain sailed triumphantly in our channel, but retreated after only threatening our shores.
After the peace of Campo Formio, the Regicide Directory c c ted an army of England, built some gun-boats, and published its intention of invading this country merely to mask its real object, the expedition against Egypt.
When Bonaparte had usurped the supreme power in France, and success had undeservedly crowned him with victory upon the continent, an invasion of this country was more seriously meditated, and a committee of naval and military officers appointed to draw and propose plans to carry this into effect. Boulogne was accordingly fortified, its harbour enlarged, and gun-boats were built, but not in sufficient number to create any real danger. Andreossi and Admiral Thuget, both The known opinion of General members of the committee, was, "that small craft alone, if ever so numerous, were ineffectual to the object in view, because, though an army may be landed by
them in England, a superior fleet of ships of the line and of frigates was absolutely necessary to prevent its being left to its destiny, without any probability of succours from France." This caused Bonaparte to enter into a negotiation and sign a pacification with this country. He hoped to be able, during a peace to raise a navy equal or superior to ours. But the passions of a petty individual got the better of the policy and prudence of the ferocious Chief Magistrate. At a period most necessary to conceal it, his rage proclaimed his ha r d against this country, and that the destruction of the British empire was his settled determination. Insufficient as his means then were, he declared, notwithstanding, to Lord Whitworth, that army should be sacrificed after army, until the object of his barbarous ambition and vengeance was obtained.
When the last rupture with this country took place, Bonaparte had the art to make the war popular, by persuading not only his troops, but the ignorant mass of the French nation, that the conquest of this country was as easy as his former achievements. Every body opened, or was forced to open, his purse, to subscribe for building gun boats, &c. whole forests disappeared; every river in France, Italy, and Holland, was covered with floating timber; and its banks were crowded with carpenters; all sailors, found or known were put into requisition every where; and, within some few months, we see opposite our shores, an armament more formidable than ever Britons witnessed before, and, what makes it more so is, that our security seems to increase with our danger.
Ten months ago, when Boulogne harbour contained hardly vessels enough to carry over some battalions, the belief of an invasion was general, and the attempt was daily expected: at present when according to the lowest calculation, vessels are collected at Boulogne sufficient to carry over 80,000 men; after experience has taught us the impossibility to prevent the junction of so many gun boats, flat bottomed boats, cutters, prams, and transports, a fatal and impolitic disbelief has seized our nation, though we have to remember that the man, whom fortune permitted in 1798, to escape our squadron, with a numerous armed fleet, and four hundred transports, and landed in Egypt; and in 1799, to return to France with some few frigates, through our blockading squadrons on the coast of Africa, and our cruisers every where in the Mediterranean, may well expect to succeed in an attempt for which it hardly requires so many hours of favourable circumstances, as it did weeks in his former desperate undertakings.
It looks as if Providence would blind us, and destine us to submit to the same fate, which has made wretched all other nations surrounding revolutionary France. With an absurd and false alarm last year, we acted the part Bonaparte then desired, in the same manner we do now, by a security dangerous in the extreme, and as blameable at present, as our different conduct was last autumn.

JULLIA MARIA!—A Jeu D'Esprit.
BY AMBROSE FITMAN, ESQ.
IN days of old—when first refinement's light Broke thro' the mist of chaos and of night; Our great great grandmothers were giv'n alone, Such humble Christian names as MAUD & JOAN; E'en Ait's heroic Maid the latter bore And Maud—a celebrated Queen of yore. But such the improvement of our p l 'd age, And such the revolutionary age, That milk and fish fags now are Arabellas, Louisas, Julias, Carolines, and Stellas, As t'other day f f h wench trail'd along, And "Sprats fas big as herrings bo l" her song; She thus address'd—in accents far from mild— Nay, Stentor like, her filthy wandering child. "Julia Maria!—little imp of evil! Come from the kennel, come—you dirty Devil."

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21.
EVAN JONES, esq. of New Orleans, has declined the appointment of Member of the Legislative Council for that place. His reason is, that, "having conjointly with almost all the inhabitants of Lower Louisiana, signed a remonstrance to government against the act of Congress establishing a form of government for that country, he cannot consistently, accept of an appointment under a law of which he has from the beginning expressed a disapprobation."—It is presumed, that a similar reason will operate to a rejection on the part of many of the others appointed.
The following from the Boston Reper-tory claims notice. Time will show whether hereafter Gen. Varnum will direct his political behaviour by the duty he owes his constituents and his country, or by the dread of Virginia frowns for turning to the path of political rectitude.
"The overhearing disposition of the Virginian leaders in Congress has been equally felt and understood by some of our Northern Representatives. I will not say that either Mr. Crowninshield or Seaver has had the discernment to ascertain this circumstance, however obvious."
"These unfortunate gentlemen seem to enter conscientiously into the service of their new masters, without knowing they are enslaving themselves, and their constituents. But Mr. Eustis and Gen. Varnum, as well as Mr. Elliot of Vermont, are and are alarmed; they have not been insensible to the degradation of New-England. These gentlemen during the last session, held many conferences with one another, and some of them with federalists, on the ruinous influence of the Virginian confederacy. Mr. Varnum thus expressed himself to a federal member from New-

B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This Lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer's chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
