ON THE NON INTERCOURSE BILL.
"Let your moderation be known unto all men." [Holy Bible.]
IN moments of irritation we are too much heated to consider the nature of the satisfaction due for injury, the proper means of defence, or the consequence of revenge. To act thus without reflection or foresight is at best the folly of passion.
If our rights are infringed, we with a renewal of them without any unjust restriction. It is foolish however to seek this remedy at first, by the abandonment of those we still enjoy.
It is impossible for a man of any reflection or observation to keep these sentiments out of mind at the present critical moment. The disputes between this country and England so long attended with rigor on her part and injury on ours, will not admit of much longer vain complaints and harsh recriminations.
Do we wish for war? No man of experience or reflection will answer in the affirmative. We have nothing to gain, but every thing to lose by it. Our neutrality during the last and present European war has elevated our country, even beyond the expectations of the most romantic politician.
No one can honestly say that war is necessary, until the means of preserving peace prove unavailing. When this is the case, we may take up arms with confidence, and the contest is holy and honorable, whatever may be the issue.
When England at the commencement of the last war was excited by a very natural and almost justifiable jealousy to oppress our commerce with unjust restrictions, many measures of defence were proposed by men of different feelings.
At the renewal of the present war we had proceeded for some time with all the ardour and zeal of good fortune. We have been stopped again in our career by the renewal of harsh and vexatious restrictions on the part of England.
In answer to this question, every man of sense will advise us to resort to the measures adopted in 1794. If we have heretofore succeeded in our negotiations with England on the same points, may we not promise ourselves the same success by using the same means?
The conduct of England in similar emergencies does not promise a very pacific reception of our new kind of commercial negotiations. Whether her principles are correct or not, will be an eternal subject of dispute; but in what manner she acts when other nations have endeavored to effect a relaxation by direct or indirect hostility, admits of no question.
If we may argue from the past, or predict any thing from the present, why shall we rashly enter on a course of measures, which at best can injure England, but must certainly injure ourselves.
All this is allowed by those who are urging us to the suicide of non-intercourse. But they defend themselves by an assurance derived from the situation of England, of this measure's inducing her to relax her claims as a belligerent and to yield to our demands.
But have we any reason to think from the situation and late conduct of England, that she will rest contented with the state of discontent, which will only injure her?
The conduct of England in similar emergencies does not promise a very pacific reception of our new kind of commercial negotiations. Whether her principles are correct or not, will be an eternal subject of dispute; but in what manner she acts when other nations have endeavored to effect a relaxation by direct or indirect hostility, admits of no question.
to of the spirit with which England will meet an attempt to legislate for her, by fleets, and armies, and embargoes.
It is evident however, that our government expect, from the situation of Great Britain, that our non-intercourse will at worst meet with non-resistance.
The measures therefore, to be pursued by government are too plain and obvious to need enumeration. Honor and peace and profit are before us.
"Thrice is he arm'd who hath his quarrel just, / Though pick'd up in a field, / Whose conscience with injustice is corrupt."

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, February 24.
Mr. Gregg from the committee on public lands, reported on the petitions of Roger Enos, and Robert H. Stone. The report in both cases is unfavorable to the petitioners.
The house took into consideration the bill received from the Senate, to prohibit commercial intercourse with the island of St. Domingo.
A motion was made by Mr. Nicholson to amend the bill as to require bonds to be given with sureties, [The bill from the Senate only required a bond to be given by the masters and owners] to prevent all trade to the ports of that island which are not in the possession of the French.
Mr. Nicholson supported this amendment.
Mr. J. Clay opposed it.
Mr. Jackson spoke in favor of it.
Mr. Nicholson for the purpose of allowing further time to examine the provisions of the bill, moved its postponement till to-morrow.
Messrs. Eppes, Bidwell, Bedinger, and Alston opposed; and Messrs. Nicholson, Leib, J. Clay and Crowninshield supported the motion, which prevailed, Ayes 57, Noes 53.
Mr. Leib from the committee appointed to enquire into the expediency of altering the mode of keeping the Journal of the House made a report, which was referred to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.
Mr. Crowninshield from the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported a new bill to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes which was referred to a committee of the whole house on Thursday.
Mr. J. Randolph moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union upon the resolution amendatory of the constitu-
tion of the United States as to the tenure of the judicial office.
Mr. Masters moved to postpone the consideration of it.
Mr. Speaker said this motion was not in order.
The question was taken on going into a committee and carried—Ayes 65.
Mr. Gregg took the chair.
The resolution having been read Mr. Randolph moved that the committee should concur in it, which motion was disagreed to.
Ayes 51, Nays 55.
The committee rose and reported their disagreement to the resolution.
The house having agreed to consider the report, Mr. Clark moved a postponement, till the third Monday of March.
Mr. J. Randolph opposed this motion and expressed a hope that a postponement for a shorter time would be agreed to.
Messrs. Gregg and Smilie opposed the postponement.
Mr. Masters moved an indefinite postponement.
Mr. Finley and Mr. Randolph opposed, and Mr. Conrad supported this motion, which was lost.
The Yeas and Nays being called were Yeas 42, Nays 81.
Mr. Clark withdrew his motion of postponement till the third Monday of March, and moved that the resolution should be the order of the day for next Monday, in which the house concurred.
Ayes 67.
TUESDAY, February 25.
The house resumed the consideration of the bill to prohibit commercial intercourse with certain parts of the island of St. Domingo.
Mr. Nicholson's motion to require sureties, after considerable debate was disagreed to.
A debate then ensued on the passage of the bill.—Messrs. Nicholson, J. Clay, Eppes, Early, and Smilie supported, and Messrs. J. C. Smith, Quincy, Dana, Ely, and Crowninshield opposed it.
When the question was taken by yeas and nays, and the bill passed. Yeas 93, Nays 26.
FRANKFORT, (Ken.) January 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Port St. Stephens, Mississippi Territory, to his friend in this place, dated December 6th, 1805.
"Gov. Claiborne has sent Mr. Graham to governor Folk, at Pensacola, to remonstrate on the subject of Spanish duties at Mobile. Mr. Graham in a letter from Pensacola says: "That governor Folk agrees to suspend the order for the payment of duties at Mobile, upon receiving official assurances that no duties shall be demanded at Orleans on goods destined for Baton Rouge; but that he will admit of no other terms."
"Mr. Graham has written to the government of the United States on the subject, but we are entirely at a loss to conjecture what will be the result."
"Had Spain a right to the country between the 31st degree of latitude, and the island of Orleans; there can be no doubt but that it would be just, and consistent with the spirit of our treaties with that power, that Spanish subjects passing up and down the Mississippi, with property destined to or coming from their country, and not intended to be landed in the United States, should not be burthened with duties to the American government. But I much doubt whether government will think it expedient indirectly to sanction the Spanish claim to Eastern Louisiana, by entering into a stipulation which though it does not expressly recognize their right; cannot be founded on any other principle than that they are lawfully possessors of the country which they occupy. The determination is all important to the people residing on the waters of the Mobile, but I am satisfied they do not wish to see the just pretensions of the nation to Eastern Louisiana, at all weakened by any arguments which might contribute to their immediate benefit."
"We have had a large concourse of Indians at this place for a week past—upwards of a thousand I suppose—who have come down to receive their annual presents. Some of them are highly dissatisfied with the treaty; but the new chief Pothahoy, a man of great eloquence and energy of mind, gave them a firm and undaunted talk, and put his opponents at defiance. These men were formerly much in honor with the Spanish government here; and are mortified with the popularity and influence of the new chief, who has however, the general countenance of the Choctaw nation, as well as of the United States agents."
CHILICOTHE, January 30.
At the last session of the legislature of this state, a law was passed levying a state tax, which enacts among other things:
"That for the collection of taxes of non-residents' lands, the state shall be and hereby divided into six collection districts."

the first to include the lands purchased by John Cleves Symmes and his associates and the land sold at the Cincinnati land office; the second to include the lands in the Virginia military district, the land sold at the Chillicothe land office and the French grant; the third to include the lands purchased by the Ohio company and all grants within the limits thereof, and the land sold at Marietta land office; the fourth to include the lands in the United States' military district and the refugee lands; the fifth to include the land within the district of Steubenville land office and all land S. of the Connecticut reserve, and not included in the other districts; and the sixth to include the lands in the Connecticut reserve.
Another principle of the law is that there should be appointed by a joint ballot of both houses of the general assembly, and commissioned by the governor, a collector in each district for the collection of the above mentioned taxes.
In conformity to the above provisions, our legislature appointed on Saturday last the following gentlemen, collectors in their respective districts:

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New Orleans, dated Dec. 7th, 1806.
"I can hardly say what the prices of produce of the upper country will be in spring, but am really of opinion that flour will be low. A man from Pittsburg, with a keel boat, loaded with flour, who arrived here about 10 days since, finds great difficulty in selling it; the price about 9 to 10 dollars. Baltimore and Philadelphia flour arrives almost daily and commands 12 and 12 1/2 dollars."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, dated Dec. 18th, 1805.
"Pork and beef, the former there is not a barrel at present in market for sale, it would bring from 14 to 16 dollars, but these prices will soon be reduced by arrivals from the northward, and not more than 10 or 12 dollars should be calculated upon—beef is a less safe article to deal in, the demand for it is not so great, and it is more difficult to preserve thro' our warm summers; general price from 5 to 10 dollars, great attention should be paid in putting up these articles in well made barrels, made of well seasoned wood, and to have them here early in the season. Hemp would be an article of considerable importance if attended to by the western people; good clean hemp brought to this market in good condition would always command from 7 to 8 dollars per 100 lb. Flour should be sent here merely sufficient for the consumption of the country, it is exposed to too much heat and moisture ever to be exported to foreign markets to advantage, the price the approaching season will be, I presume, from 5 to 8 dollars. Corn meal is still a more dangerous article to perish, and the expences on so small a value, too often I fear consumes the whole amount of sales. Lard to suit this market should be put up in kegs of from 50 to 100 lb. full hooped and the heads whitewashed, it would bring,
put up in this way, one or two cents per lb. more than when in large barrels and be much readier sale, average price 12 1/2 cents. Pot and Pearl ashes are articles that could certainly be made to great advantage in the western country, I observe that the general prices in New York, are from 150 to 160 dollars per ton, and I see no reason why, if of equal quality, it should not bring the same price here.
The following are the dimensions of Staves that suit the market.
  Pipe staves, 52 to 54 in. long, 3 1/2 wide. From 30 to 35 dollars for the long.   Heading, for do. 28 to 30 6 wide, 1 thick. Mos 1 200.   Hhd. do. 44 long, 3 1/2 wide.   Heading for do. 30 to 32 long, 6 wide, 1 thick. From 25 to 30 per ditto.   Barrel, do. 32 to 34 long, 3 1/2 wide, 1 inch thick. From 15 to 25 per ditto.   Heading, for do. 18 to 20, 6 wide, 1 thick. 
A treaty has been lately concluded between general James Robinson and Silas Dinsmore, esq. commissioners on the part of the United States, and the Mingois and Chiefs of the Choctaw nations, in which the United States, have acquired a cession of five millions of acres of land, bounded as follows, viz: Beginning at a branch of the Homochito, where the same is intersected by the present Choctaw boundary, and also by the path leading from Natchez to the county of Washington, usually called M c Clarey's path: thence eastwardly along M c Clarey's path to the east or left bank of Pearl River; thence on such a direct line as would touch the lower end of a bluff, on the left bank of the Chickasawhay river the first above Hiyowannie towns called Broken Bluff to a point within four miles of Broken Bluff; thence in a direct line nearly parallel with the river, to a point and line to be run from the lower end of the Broken Bluff to Faluktabunee on the Tombigbee river, 4 miles from the Broken Bluff; thence along the said line to Faluktabunee, thence east to the boundary between the Creeks and Choctaws, on the ridge dividing the waters running into Tombigbee; thence southwardly along the said ridge and boundaries to the south point of the Choctaw claim.
The United States stipulate on their part, to pay the Choctaws fifty thousand five hundred dollars and an annuity of three thousand dollars; about the sum they have hitherto annually received.
This cession is of infinite magnitude to the United States as well as to their territory. The ceded tract cuts off all communication between West Florida and the Choctaws, and affords about three millions of acres of land of the first quality. Motives of urgent policy will no doubt ensure its ratification. It is of the first importance to the United States that the frontiers should be thickly settled. Perhaps there never was a more important cession hitherto obtained of native claim; it connects the settlement of this territory, which heretofore have been separated by a wilderness of near three hundred miles, and circumscribing us within such narrow limits as to admit of no extent of population. We hope that government will shortly dispose of this valuable acquisition on such equitable grounds, as to induce a speedy and extensive emigration of our northern brethren to this land of promise; and as it will be consolidated within our territory we may reasonably flatter ourselves with the pleasing prospect of being shortly incorporated as a state in the union. In advantages, in point of navigation as regards the Pearl river, fertility of soil and extent of range are unrivalled; it is therefore highly interesting to us, that the boundaries should be ascertained and run as soon as possible, in order to promote so desirable an object.
The generosity of the Choctaw nation, during this transaction, in their reserve of seven thousand acres of land in favor of Messrs. Mitchell, M c Crew, &c. does them honor; the former had been many years their agent on a trifling salary, secluded as it were from civilized society; the latter has been uniformly a father and a friend to the tribe. This is then, one testimonial of savage gratitude, and it is to be sincerely wished that the senate of the U States, in their ratification of the treaty will concur, in the noble principles by which our red friends appear to be actuated.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forenses and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has seen upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
Nervous Disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Consumptions, Indigestion, Lowness of spirits, Melancholy, Lots of appetite, Gout in the stomach, Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs, Hyterical affections, Relaxations, Inward weaknesses, Involuntary emissions, Seminal weaknesses, Obligate gleets, Fluoribus (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c. Barrenness,
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold, after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectably medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar talc, so commonly complained of as operating with vio-
lence, on the contrary, a particular excellence and of this its being suited to every age and condition, and also its contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a larger dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsiion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants. Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York-town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
