FRIEND ROLF,
Knowest thou the cause that induces Congress, at the commencement of every session, unnecessarily to waste time that is not their own? The time of a member of Congress belongs to the public, a member of Congress is a servant of the people, say our first patriots: he is well paid by the people for his services; hence it followeth, that he ought not to cheat the people of their money; if he cheat them of time for which he is paid, he cheateth the mouth of labour of its money. During the first two months of the last session, if thou deduct what time was wasted in attending to horse-racing and Christmas holidays, and what was wasted by the mere meeting and almost immediate adjournment of the House, there was not performed the business of two weeks. — During the last two months of the last session, if thou deduct the expensive, needless, and malicious prosecution against the venerable, and the upright and the able Judge Chase, there was not performed the business of more than one month. All the necessary business of the last session might have been completed in six weeks. This would have saved the United States in money, about Two hundred Thousand Dollars. Our great patriots (for such they are if we can believe their own declarations) are great praters in favour of the benefits of economy; that is, Friend Rolf, they would spend 200,000 white round ones for the medicinal benefit of keeping alive their consumptive pockets rather than not economize for their own advantage. This is not said of all; but it can correctly be said of many, that the principal object of their wish in becoming members of Congress, is the salary: and hence many of them little fear that too much of a year will give them six dollars per diem. How it will be this session I cannot discover: but from present appearance I am induced to believe, that Congress will soon enter on business of importance, sooner than before; for the house of representatives have already continued the sitting of two days till half past two o'clock; and it is now but the fourth week of the session. Thou canst not but perceive that had this been done every day, it is probable that the expence of a fortnight's business would have been saved; the public would have saved it; but the members would not have economized for themselves. I well know Friend Rolf, there are some men who sacrifice their interest by attending Congress; there are some, particularly the chairman of some of the standing committees, who are hardly paid for their laborious services; but there are too many who make a seat in Congress a money job. Hence the lowness of the reputation of Congress; hence so many intrigues for seats in Congress who are fit only to be the chairman of a knot of rogues or a club of dunces. The House beginneth to do business at about half past eleven; a petition of a private nature is presented; the clerk reads it; it is referred to a committee; the House are quiet; another petition, after some time, is presented and referred; the House again are quiet; some little more business, and the House again are quiet — (i. e. busy reading newspapers, chatting, writing letters, &c.) — the speaker reads over the orders of the day; none are called; after fifteen or twenty minutes (which hath several times happened) in which nothing hath been done, some one moves for an adjournment, which is immediately carried. The House needeth not and ought not to adjourn till three o'clock. This ought to be a regulation from the commencement of a session: such a regulation would save the country full many a pound.
On the second and third days of last week was conducted in the house the discussion of a question that occasioned much animation, and considerable eloquence on both sides. It was on the report of the committee of elections relative to the petition of Thomas Spalding, of Georgia. The circumstances were substantially these. Bowles Mead and Thomas Spalding had nearly an equal number of votes for member of congress from one of the districts of Georgia. Spalding however had a few the most. By the election law of Georgia, returns must be made to the governor of the votes given, within twenty days after they are given; but the returning officer (whether from inability, carelessness or design is immaterial) neglecting making a return from a part of the district, by which neglect Bowles Mead was declared duly elected; the returns from the part of the district above alluded to, not being made till five days after the time appointed by
law. Findley, the chairman of the committee, reported in favor of the petitioner; he himself spoke some time in favor of the report. So also the Snyderite congressional talker Clay. Mead spoke at considerable length against the report. His speech, for a first, was pertinent, candid, and forcible. Early also enlarged much against the report: his remarks were to the purpose, and finely delivered. Bidwell of Massachusetts was in favor of the report. He spoke at considerable length. Whether it be because this man was once a federalist, and turned with the tide; or because he appeareth to me, much to resemble, in many respects, the secretary of the treasury; or because he appeareth to have more political sophistry than honest argument; or because he seemeth to have more political ambition than political virtue; I know not; but I cannot have much reverence for this man. Friend Rolf, he that hath understanding, yet climeth into congress thro' the back stairs of democracy, doth much to lead me into a belief that he hath more ambition than greatness of mind: There was much sophistry, and a little reason in Bidwell's remarks. If I do not think wrongly on the subject, Bidwell hopes to wrest the lead from the hands of Randolph: this however he cannot do, for Randolph has lost it. The report of the committee of elections was deferred till the next day.
There was presented a memorial from Samuel Blodget, stating the progress of a subscription for an university, on a plan to accord with the views of Washington in his last will. The design of these followers of the illustrious founder are not only to aid the original plan, but to form it into a monument in the form or after the manner of the Timoleontion at Syracuse, as described in Plutarch's life of Timoleon, and to do this in a manner most honorable both to the whole people of America and to the common father of his country. Our citizens, men, women, and children, from Georgia to Maine are subscribing daily, in imitation of an ancient custom of the original Americans who all contributed a stone to the monumental pile of a beloved chief. The executors of his will are trustees till congress may in due time, agreeably to the request of Washington, take the whole under their fostering care, till which time the cashier of the national Branch Bank at Washington as general treasurer to the subscribers, will continue to invest the subscription monies at compound interest. There are above 18,000 subscribers to this plan, from which no American is excluded, but foreigners are only permitted to contribute to the endowment fund. There are several elegant designs already drawn for this object, they represent the statue voted by congress in 1793, in the centre of a spacious area surrounded by Halls; Colleges, Museums, Libraries, &c. in the simple but sublime style of Grecian architecture, and when completed, will form the noblest superstructure of modern and perhaps of any ancient times, while architecture was at its acme.
On the succeeding day, again spoke Father Findley, in favor of the report under discussion the day previous. After whom the famous Pendulum of Tennessee continued oscillating about 25 or 30 minutes.
"O he's as tedious As a tir'd horse, — as a colding wife — Or as a smoky house."
So I will say no more of him —
Friend Sloan was opposed to the report. Next spake, — in opposition to the report Friend Broom from Delaware — That state has long been better represented than Virginia, or any other state in the union, it is so still. He is the successor of Byard, and I think not inferior to him, saving the advantage of experience. — He rose with confidence but with modesty, his language correct and elegant, his gestures various and suitable; his arguments new, forcible and elegantly enforced: he seemed to penetrate the subject "thrice farther than other men." Let me express a belief that his opinions will be of the first weight in the house. In opposition to the report also spake Friend Quincy of Boston. The debate had been extended beyond the usual time; and I imagine he had been preceded in some of his observations by the member from Delaware. — He adduced some new remarks and placed others in a very striking light. Both the petitioner and the sitting member, are gentlemen of the same politics, it seemed strange to me that a division should be made as it was 68 to 53, in favor of the petitioner, and in violation of law — For the whole question turned on this pivot — The one was lawfully elected and the other was not; and if the laws of a state can be violated in one case; I would thank thee Friend Rolf to tell me, where thou wilt place the
bounds, quos ultra citraque nequit consistere rectum; the bounds are no longer the certi fines of the law, but the whim, opinion, or as John Randolph would say, the common sense of Congress.
On the day but one succeeding, much (and much of that very improper) debate took place relative to the presentment of a medal of gold with suitable devices, to the gallant Eaton, through whose means peace has been restored and our countrymen released from their chains, and returned to their country and friends.
Thy prating man, Clay said that Eaton had not deserved more than Decatur, who burnt the frigate Philadelphia; and therefore he deserved only a sword. J. Randolph endeavored to turn the merits of Eaton quite into ridicule. Had Eaton been a Snyderite, and not a New Englander, such men as Randolph, Leib and Clay, would have wished to lavish on him the highest honors. Gen. Varnum spoke very handsomely in favor of a medal; so did friend Elmer. Where, said gen. Varnum do you see an enterprise of more merit; and tho' there have been thousands of more consequence, this was of great consequence. What would have been our situation had he not attempted it, and been successful? The war and the expenses of it would yet continue, and we know not how long. His plan, and his little force, have liberated our countrymen, and produced peace. He might indeed probably with the assistance of 2,000 men or less, have taken Tripoli itself. We gave Preble a medal, which he richly deserved; we cannot in justice do less for Eaton. Nicholson did not speak, because it would, I trust, have been against his conscience, to take an active part on the wrong side, yet he was obliged to vote on the wrong side because Randolph would do so. The votes were 58 to 53 in favor of the medal; yet Smilie (of whom there is much hope, for he hath voted correctly several times this session) moved that the report be recommitted to the same committee, that something might be bro't forward in which the house would be unanimous.
This was done.
The business to day has been mostly relative to private petitions: one of which occasioned a debate of nearly two hours.
1st mo. 1, 1806.
FRIEND ROLF — "While we have land to labour," (as the sage of Monticello expresseth himself) it is a lamentable pity that so many who are fit for nothing else, should be permitted to quit their flocks and herds, their green pastures, their pleasant vallies, their hoes and spades, hogs, hominy and opopum fat; to come here and either do nothing or do worse — There are several of this description in the house: — men who cannot speak, or, who speak only to shew their talents, or to lengthen a needless debate.
Yesterday much needless time was wasted on a needless debate, and some on the same debate this day. The Judges of the Territory, now the State of Ohio, continued Judges of the United States till the constitution of that state went into operation. The people of that territory formed a constitution in November, and fixt the commencement of its operation for the next March. The people who formed the constitution had no power to create judges or displace them. By the constitution they formed gave this power to the legislature; and the first legislature was to meet the next March. The judges were appointed by the United States: they had therefore a right to their salaries till displaced by the U. States, or till the constitution of the state of Ohio commenced operation. Some of the wife ones, viz. J. Clay, Smilie, one Stanford and Alston, either thought, or pretended to think, that the United States were not obliged to pay the judges after the constitution of that state was formed; and Levi Line Ja had said so.
But well thou knowest, Friend Rolf, that little dependence is to be placed on the legal opinion of Levi Line Ja. Friend Smith the chairman of the committee of claims, well observed, that Jefferson's opinion was undoubted of as much weight as the ex-attorney's; and he had dismissed from office Arthur St. Clair, after a constitution was formed. But Smilie rose, and insisted on no pay; and J. Clay said, no pay. Moreover, (of Ohio) was in favor of the report: he spoke (as the expression is used) pretty well: — Bidwell was in favor of the report. He did not appear to have the same antipathy to Judges, which marks such characters as J. Clay, Alston, Smilie, and one Stanford. Friend Sloan regretted that men of legal talents should differ so much on legal points; he should give his opinion in a plain simple manner; which, to be sure he did; and it so happened, on the right side. Friend Jackson, of Virginia, followed on the same side with forceful reasoning. Friend Dana, next, on the same side: I need not tell thee he always speaks well. Alston, of wine glass memory, said he expected to be in the minority; but however small that minority, he could not shrink from his duty in opposition to the report.
The committee of the whole rose. This day the subject was resumed; when one Stanford and J. Clay, again opposed the report. G. W. Campbell (strange as it is, it is certainly true) spoke but a short time, to the purpose, and on the
right side, and in favor of the Judges. The phenomenon bodeeth well. On the decision, there were 67 in favor of the report, and about a dozen or twenty of the men of understanding, and good men, such as Smith, J. Clay, one Stanford and Alston, against the report. On the whole, as much as one day was spent in this unnecessary debate, about paying a few hundred dollars. Thus the debaters economize, to make the people pay them about 1400 dollars to deliberate, whether or not a few hundred dollars shall be paid to those wicked looking creatures called Judges. And hence, I say, "while we have land to labour," some men are not entitled to seats where, though wisdom ought, she now aboundeth elsewhere.
But, Friend Rolf, I turn from Alston, J. Clay, one Stanford and Smilie, to more pleasing objects. The Indians, of whom there are delegations from ten tribes of the Missouri and Mississippi; also a large delegation from the Chickasaws this day visited the H. R. The Chickasaws were dressed nearly in our manner, and appear to be almost civilized. Several of them with powdered hair; which argueth that they begin to have a little taste; a little good for nothing taste. The other Indians were dressed much in the Indian savage stile. They continued about an hour in the under gallery, and attracted more attention than J. Clay, Smilie, Alston, or one Stanford. No particular respect was paid to them by the speaker; but when they went into the senate room they were formally introduced by the Indian viceroy of the war department.
The president of the senate descended from his seat; and senators and Indians, with and without the assistance of interpreters, amused themselves in the noisy jumble of confused confabulation, and affectionately grasping each other's hands. This was a "delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation," as the president once defined love, in his notes on Virginia, where he accuses the negroes of having a monotonous black all over their faces, and of not being "ardent for the female, like of the whites." [Not thereby meaning himself.]
Good night, friend Rolf: the year dieth apace; so do we. Soon, soon "our sensible warm motion will become a kneaded clay" — ere which, however, may we both enjoy many happy new years. — Thine.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, Nov. 14.
The following paragraph appeared in the Kentish Courier of Tuesday:
"At a late hour last night we received intelligence that the Cape of Good Hope had surrendered to the English, together with six sail of French and Dutch ships of the line, which were in the harbour."
It is sufficient to remark on this intelligence, that it has not been received at the India house, where the official details from that quarter are not expected, in fact before the end of December.
Letters from officers in Germany mention, that Bonaparte was furious, after reading before Ulm a dispatch from Dorat at Berlin, and said in the presence of his staff officers. "I shall soon teach my brother Frederick, in his own capital to use our language." They do not doubt, but that Bonaparte, if he can command a peace in the South of Germany, will march onwards the north already held out to the French soldiers as an European Peru, from the treasures collected during a long neutrality.
Important State paper.
Proclamation of the Emperor of Austria Francis II. Elective emperor of the Romans, Hereditary Emperor of Austria &c.
The Emperor of France has compelled me to take up arms.
"To his ardent desire of military achievements, his passion to be recorded in history under the title of Conqueror, the limits of France, already so much enlarged, and defined by sacred treaties, still appear too narrow: he wishes to unite in his own hands all the ties upon which depends the balance of Europe. The fairest fruits of exalted civilization, every species of happiness which a nation can enjoy, and which results from peace and concord, every thing which even by himself, as the sovereign of a great and civilized people, must be held dear and estimable, is to be destroyed by a war of conquest: and thus the greater part of Europe is to be compelled to submit to the laws and mandates of France."
"This project announces all that the emperor of France has performed, threatened or promised. He respects no proposition which reminds him of the regard prescribed by the law of nations to the sacredness of treaties, and the first obligations which are due towards foreign independent states. At the very time that he

power of the mediation of Russia, and of every step which, directed equally by a regard to my own dignity, and to the feelings of my heart, I adopted for the re-establishment of tranquility, the security of my states and the promotion of a general peace, his views were fully disclosed and no choice was left between war and unarmed submission!
Under these circumstances, I took hold of that hand, which the emperor of Russia, animated by the noblest feelings in behalf of the cause of justice and independence, stretched forth to support me. Far from attacking the throne of the emperor of France, and keeping steadily in view the preservation of peace, which we so publicly and sincerely stated to be our only wish, we declared in the presence of all Europe, "that we would, in no event, interfere in the internal concerns of France, nor make any alteration in the new constitution which Germany received after the peace of Luneville." Peace and independence were the only objects which we wish to attain: no ambitious views, no intention, such as that since ascribed to me of subjugating Bavaria, had any share in our councils.
But the sovereign of France totally regardless of the general tranquility, listened not to these overtures. Wholly absorbed in himself, and occupied only with the display of his own greatness and omnipotence, he collected all his force; compelled Holland and the elector of Baden to join him; whilst his secret ally, the elector Palatine, false to his sacred promise, voluntarily delivered himself up to him; violated, in the most insulting manner, the neutrality of the king of Prussia, at the very moment that he had given the most solemn promises to respect it, and by this violent proceedings he succeeded in surrounding and cutting off a part of the troops which I had ordered to take a position on the Danube and the Iller, and finally, in compelling them to surrender after a brave resistance.
A proclamation no less furious than any to which the dreadful period of the French revolution gave birth, was issued, in order to animate the French army to the highest pitch of courage.
Let the intoxication of success, or the unhallowed and iniquitous spirit of revenge, actuate the foe; calm and firm I stand in the midst of 25 millions of people, who are dear to my heart and to my family. I have a claim upon their love, for I desire their happiness. I have a claim upon their assistance; for whenever they venture for the throne, they venture for themselves, their own families, their posterity, their own happiness and tranquility, and for the preservation of all that is sacred and dear to them.
With fortitude the Austrian monarchy arose from every storm which menaced it during the preceding centuries. Its intrinsic vigor is still undecayed. There still exists in the breast of those good and loyal men for whose prosperity and tranquility I combat, that ancient patriotic spirit which is ready to make every sacrifice, and to dare every thing, to save what must be saved: their throne and their independence, the national honor and the national prosperity.
From this spirit of patriotism on the part of my subjects I expect, with proud and tranquil confidence, every thing that is great and good; but above all things unanimity, and a quick, firm and courageous co-operation in every measure that shall be ordered, to keep the rapid strides of the enemy from off our frontier, until these numerous and powerful auxiliaries can act, which my exalted ally, the emperor of Russia, and other powers, who have formerly and recently experienced the insults of the emperor of France, have destined to combat for the liberties of Europe, and the security of thrones and of nations. Success will not forsake a just cause forever; and the unanimity of the sovereigns, the proud manly courage, and the conscious strength of their people, will soon obliterate the first disasters. Peace will flourish again; and in my love, my gratitude, and their own prosperity, my faithful subjects will find a full compensation for every sacrifice which I am obliged to require for their own preservation.

There are few places in our country more advantageously situated for an institution of this nature, than this—Its situation is very elevated and the air salubrious; and in the centre of a remarkably healthy neighborhood; the necessaries of life are cheap and may easily be procured. The strictest attention will be paid to the morals of the Students both in and out of school.
The terms of tuition will be; for the Latin and Greek Languages, including Geography, &c. 25 dollars; for the Mathematics 20 dollars; Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, 14 dollars per annum, paid quarterly in advance. A small contribution will be required from each pupil for the purchase of fire-wood.
