Letter of Professor John Q. Adams.
The fairness and propriety of this course of proceeding must be so obvious, that it is difficult to conceive of the propriety of any other. Yet it prevents another inconvenience."
We should be glad to know what this last it refers to.
When one of the senators from a state proclaims to his constituents that a particular measure or system of measures which has received the vote and support of his colleagues are pernicious and destructive," &c.
This, we confess, from a professor of rhetoric, is rather beyond any thing we could have suspected. Avowedly addressing a labored composition to the people of the U. States, he violates one of the first rules of syntax; he not only makes the verb disagree with the nominative case, but employs one verb in the singular and one in the plural, and forces them into an alliance with the same noun—a measure which has received are pernicious! Nor is this the only instance in which the professor breaks Priscian's head. He says (p 20) "It is but a little more than two years, since this question was agitated both in England and America, with as much zeal, energy and ability as ever was displayed," &c. And in page 22, "If the voice of reason and of justice could be heard they would say."
The advocate of a policy thus reprobated must feel himself summoned by every move of self-defence to vindicate his conduct: and if a general sense of his official duties would bind him to the industrious devotion of his whole time to the public business of the session, the hours which he might be forced to employ for his own justification, would, of course, be deducted from the discharge of his more regular and appropriate functions."
In the democratic newspapers copies of this letter, we find "challenged by every motive," &c. which we presume is a revision and amendment of the writer's.
This is the first time we ever heard of motives sending challenges or summonses; and, of all motives in the world, that of self defence is the last we should have suspected. Here the writer violates a rule of composition by crowding into one period different and entire thoughts; thus joining in language what is separate in reality. The period should have closed at "conduct." As to his "discharge of a function," we have no idea of what is meant by the "discharge of a function." There are, we know, certain parts of the body whose functions it is to discharge; but the things thus discharged are not called functions. If the writer by function meant duty, he was mistaken. The epithet appropriate also is misapplied. The words appropriate and proper express different ideas. The former, derived from the verb to appropriate, that is, to consign to some particular object or use, bears with it (as a "particular adjective") the meaning of the root. Thus, to speak in appropriate terms is to use the words which custom has consigned to the subject spoken of. The last objection we have to this sentence is its redundancy; which will be abundantly evident if we express the same ideas with simplicity and precision, thus: "And if this sense of duty would have bound him to devote his time to the public business, this vindication must infringe upon the more regular and proper employment of his hours."
What do we miss here but about one half the words employed by the professor?
In the same paragraph we find,
"Nor can I forbear to REMARK the tendency of such antagonizing appeals to-distract," &c.
This should be to remark on or else to notice. "Antagonizing appeals"! "That's a vile word, beautified 's a vile word." When our professor shall attain to the authority of a Johnson in literature, he may perhaps venture upon coining a word to express some idea not already provided with an expression, but when he does, we hope he will discover a little more taste & a little better ear than he has in the aforesaid antagonizing. If we guess rightly his meaning, antagonistical would have come nearer the idea he meant to convey. We object, too, to his new word closure, (page 11) as it is at best a superfluous word, and has no support in analogy. Inclosure is a place inclosed; how can closure mean the act of closing? But it is so Jeffersonian to make new words, that Mr. Jefferson's new disciple could not resist the temptation to ape his master.
A little farther we find "mutual experiences and rancors" which last word is not to be used in the plural. The paragraph closes by informing us that if a certain course be pursued,
"The great concerns of the nation would degenerate into the puny controversies of personal altercation."
The altercation of controversies, or the controversies of altercation, are very like the d. bates of debate. But how are the great concerns of a nation to degenerate into personal controversy or altercation? That debates on such concerns, when managed by persons of a certain description, may so degenerate, is proved by experience; but the nature of the concerns themselves is not thereby changed. If the congress should spend half a year, in prattling like children, about war, they should not thereby convert war into children's play.
"In developing my own views, &c. some very material differences in point of fact as well as of opinion, will be found between my statements and those of the letter, which alone can apologize for this."
Here the violent separation of the pronoun which from its antecedent, leads to a wrong sense. The writer meant to say that the differences between his statements and those of the letter, only, (but not "alone") constitute his apology. A still more violent separation is found in page 10, where the antecedent to they ["they were announced"] is to be hunted for at length is actually mounted up in a preceding paragraph.
"Far more pleasing would it have been to me, could that honest and anxious pursuit of the policy best calculated to promote the honor and welfare of our country, which, I trust, is felt with equal ardor by us both, have resulted in the same opinions and have given them the vigor of united exertion."
Without stopping to inquire what we are to understand by the pursuit of a policy resulting in an opinion, we shall merely observe that the professor, by using the auxiliary verb could have, instead of had, has conveyed a different meaning from what he intended to. It should have been "had that honest and anxious pursuit," &c.
"In our republican government, where the power of the nation consists alone in the sympathies of opinion, this reciprocal deference, this open hearted imputation of honest intentions is the only adamant, at once attractive and impenetrable that can bear unscattered all the thunder of foreign hostility."
We have transcribed this beautiful metaphor that we might have an opportunity to express the pleasure it gives us. We wish another term had been substituted for imputation, which is seldom used in a good sense. We impute evil, we attribute good, and ascribe both. We shall not examine how far the power of a nation consists in sympathies or in opinion, because our present business is to consider only the language. We cannot however forbear observing that we have no precise notion of what is meant by the sympathies of opinion. The fellow feeling of opinion is a matter beyond our reach. "Attractive adamant"! attractive amber, we have heard of; but we never heard before that adamant attracted. The professor however, is a great philosopher; we told, since his intimacy with Mr. Jefferson as we know him to be a rhetorician; so we let that pass: especially as the professor, we are happy to observe, must be perfectly indifferent to all attacks upon him or his language, for after declaring as above, that this "reciprocal deference," &c. is the adamant that can bear unscattered, all the thunder of foreign hostility." In the next sentence, he informs us that he himself possesses a shield made of it; he says "he has exceeded it to every department of the government."
"I know indeed enough of human nature to be sensible that vigilant observation is at all times, and that suspicion may occasionally become necessary upon the conduct of men in power."
"Suspicion upon the conduct is not English. Neither is suspicion of the conduct correct. We may suspect men of improper designs or actions, and we may suspect their conduct to be the result of improper motives. The expression "vigilant observation upon the conduct" is also incorrect. A discerning man may not unfrequently make shrewd observations on the conduct of others, but observation (in this case) means remark. In the other case, we say observation of not on. The idea which the writer intended to convey may be expressed thus: Vigilant observation of the conduct of men in power is necessary at all times, and suspicion may become so occasionally."
The writer adds,
"But I know as well that confidence is the only cement of an elective government. Election is the very test of confidence and its periodical return is the constitutional check upon its abuse."
To what does the word its refer? The last antecedent is confidence; but the periodical return of confidence cannot be a check upon the abuse of confidence. Neither can the periodical return of elections be a check on the abuse of elections. The ambiguity might have been avoided by using election in the plural, and saying—"elections are the test of confidence, and their periodical return is the check on its abuse." Let it however be noted that "its return" and "its abuse" instead of "the return and the abuse of it" are not accurate.
The writer goes on thus,
"For the exercise of power, where man is free confidence is indispensable."
A thing may be indispensable to the exercise, but not for the exercise.
He adds,
And when it once totally fails—when the men to whom the people have committed the application of their force, for their benefit, are to be presumed the vilest of mankind, the very foundation of the social compact must be dissolved."
This expression may be excused in a gentleman who has travelled to the confines of Russia, where palaces are sometimes (it is said) built on the ice, for the very foundation of such palaces may be dissolved, but in our country, the solution of a foundation is no common event.

FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
Reign of Democratic Despotism.
HOWEVER unpardonable it may appear in the eyes of Democratic Despotism, for a private citizen to question the policy of our present rulers, yet so long as they refrain from preventing by actual force the exercise of a right, which now only exposes them to odium, I shall continue to prosecute it as a political duty, with little regard to the popular censure which may fall upon me.
The very design of an elective form of government, was, to secure to the people the right of changing public men and public measures, when they were incompatible with our national interest. But in times when public men and public measures, would appear too sacred for private investigation, it must be considered as a national degradation, a political apostasy from our original principles, menacing a danger to our freedom which cannot escape the notice of every reflecting citizen—That we have arrived to this unfortunate condition, no one can seriously pretend to deny; and I trust will sufficiently appear from the following remarks.
Leaving out of consideration the inexpediency of our public arrangements for the last seven years, the result of which now begins to open its dreadful evils upon us, the conduct of our government in the progress of its measures, discovers a complication of cunning and duplicity, wider from the original principles and practice of it, than any one would believe could be initiated into it in so short a period. Examples of this disgraceful fact are found in sufficient number, without reverting to a more remote period than during the last session of Congress. The most servile obedience in the majority of that body to the absolute will of an individual, was too plain to admit of contradiction. He, having closely allied himself with the favor of a certain number, constituting a majority, furnished them with such information as suited his purposes, acquainted them with his wishes; and without delay, a ready compliance was observed. The minority called for information, on different subjects, to justify their proceedings, but it was denied. They were openly told by their opponents, not to question, not to debate, but to act upon the high recommendation and responsibility of the executive.
If the high recommendation and responsibility of the executive must continue to swallow up the Independence of our Congress, there can be no necessity for a Congress: they are, in such a condition, but the tools of the executive, and would sanction, by their concurrence, such measures as he would not dare to attempt in an individual capacity.
A Congress, whose independence is lost under the influence, and in a blind confidence in an executive—and an executive hungry for power, affords a clear prospect of an issue truly alarming—perhaps the very end of American freedom.
Dispatches arrived from our ministers in Europe; they were communicated to Congress under secrecy; their importance to the public, induced day after day a trial to have them published. But the majority, whose ears appeared sealed up by the finger of the executive, were deaf to the voice of reason, until some of their number, more independent than the rest, began to waver in favor of the minority. It became daily more evident,
that dispatches, the knowledge of which was of the highest importance to every man in the country, could not be long retained a secret, without endangering the popularity of every one who opposed their publicity. The President, who stood uppermost in this respect, first took the alarm, made a special communication, in a short message for the purpose, and brought every man of them over, one only excepted, in favor of publishing the dispatches. On the question, which could not be carried before the President's wishes were known, and on which they received no additional information, the votes were 106 to 1; now, I would ask whether this question was decided by the wisdom and independence of the House of Representatives, or by the influence and wishes of the executive? There can be but one opinion.
The executive, on a former occasion, demanded gun-boats for the national defence—Congress, not comprehending the utility of this species of navy, beyond a certain extent, called upon him in a formal resolution, for explanation; and, notwithstanding his answer could not be considered as any demonstration on the subject, which was easily discovered by the attention which was paid to it—large sums were voted for gun-boats, with no other reason, than a compliance with the wishes of the executive, by affording him the means of defence which he required. After having gone thus far in duplicity, their ingenuity is now put to the torture to find an apology to the public, for the expence which the nation has incurred by their folly; and ten to one if any three of them would concur in the same excuse.
But after having furnished to the executive his heart's desire, and the hour of danger has arrived, the nation have a right to expect some utility from the expence incurred; but where are his gun-boats? We hear nothing of them; they are not even mentioned, except in a few instances, when in the full tide of unsuccessful experiment, some have demonstrated how useless they are for the purposes designed, while others have shown how rapidly they would carry our brave and unfortunate sailors to a watery grave.
Perhaps it may here be objected that this is not a fit time to man and equip them; but if these times, when danger surrounds us on all sides, and when our sailors are deserting the country for want of employ, do not justify manning and equipping them, it affords the shameful conviction that no times ever will.
Of all circumstances which tend to discover how far our present rulers have wandered from the path of original principles, there is none more clearly to this effect, than the president's late letter to the governors. In that extraordinary letter, he marks out the most undisguised monopolies, which may be secured in favor of particular characters. He, and those who it is taken for granted, have authorized him, have thus used their power to trample upon our rights, to transcend the bounds of original law and justice, and to do that, which nothing short of absolute government can sanction. The letter provides an exclusive privilege, which the governors of some, of not all the states, have no right to sanction. The BILL OF RIGHTS of this state particularly forbids all exclusive privileges in trade and commerce; by what rule then, I must enquire, do these constituted authorities regulate their proceedings? Is it by reason, or justice, or the written constitution—or is it by a calculation founded upon the blind confidence and obedience of a deluded people? If the truth may be spoken, I pronounce it to be the latter.
It was once the doctrine of these identical persons, founded, no doubt, upon a knowledge of their own nature, that "men in power are apt to forget right; that they have themselves verified, in the most extensive degree, and to the disgrace of ourselves as a nation. But was it ever designed that those who, in the possession of power, had forgotten right, should still retain the confidence of their fellow-citizens? It never was. Then wherefore are we so miraculously changed? so lost to our independence? so lost to our freedom of sentiment?
There is an obstinacy and perverseness in human nature, which would too frequently lead them into error, rather than to an honorable recantation. The popular part of our citizens, who, having placed the present men in power, and viewing them as functionaries of their own creating, seem more disposed to sanction all their measures, whether good or evil, than even to tolerate the slightest doubts of their correctness? Such is the picture of our present condition.
Had the result of all our public measures been favorable, it never could have remedied these important defects in political principles, which are so evident throughout the proceedings of the present ruling party. This of itself would be sufficient ground for the exercise of our prerogative against them at the next election. But if to these defects we add the impolicy of

measures, and the cloud of evils which threaten our beloved country men, re- sulting from them, I believe there can be no room to doubt of our political degene- racy.
A complete exposition of the impoli- cy of their proceedings would require an argument through a short chain of causes and effects, founded upon things as they really are, and not as they are in a spe- culative point of view. The object of these remarks, is not so much to this effect as it was designed to show our political de- generacy.
I have not ventured to say whether the embargo, concerning which so much has been said on both sides, was the best or worst measure that could be adopted for the time; but I will say, with unli- mited confidence, that the condition in which our country was brought to cause this measure, was the result of errors aris- ing out of those principles which have been mentioned.
I trust it will not be supposed that my opinions would lead to the opposition of law, or the constituted authorities in the progress of their duty. It ever was and ever shall be, a prominent article in my political creed, and I fully believe in the political creed of that side to which I am said to belong, firmly to support the con- stituted authorities as such, and the exist- ing laws of the land. But it must not thereby be inferred, that I uniformly sanc- tion the principles of the constituted au- thorities, or acknowledge the merits of ev- ery law. To the contrary of this I have now given evidence. The only and prop- er redress which should be sought for, when changes are necessary, is open to us in the elective nature of our government; it then remains for the citizens, to conti- nue in this blind confidential servility, which, like a cancer on the human frame, preys, in slow degrees, upon republican principles—or to rouse from their lethar- gy, and resume their original independ- ence of sentiment.

Boston, May 27.
Arrived on Wednesday, schooner Cushing, Brewer, from Passamaquoddy, 4 days. Left schooner Morning Star, of Boston; schooner Resolution, Bartlett, for do. ready for sea, not allowed to discharge her provisions;— Wendell, Downs; and about 12 or 14 other vessels, with their outward bound cargoes on board. Sailed in Co. with a schooner for Manchester; and a number of others, with their outward cargoes. The United States sloop of war Wasp , arrived here on Thurs- day afternoon about four o'clock, landed a company of marines and two pieces of artille- ry on Moose Island, where they are erecting a battery. On the night the Wasp arrived, no less than 14 boats laden with flour were captured by her launch, in endeavoring to cross the British line; where a brig of 18, and a schooner of 16 guns, lay ready to re- ceive it; and whose decks were seen cover- ed with flour every day. Her launch in an excursion up the river, was obliged to re- turn again for assistance, in consequence of the number of boats passing over. A sentinel was placed at the door of every store contain- ing provisions, &c. and has 2 dollars per day. Captain Brewer sailed from Philadel. (armed) under the orders of the government. While laying at Passamaquoddy he took possession of a boat with 5 bbls of flour on board, but li- berated the boat and the men belonging to her. The next day the owner of the boat came on board, and demanded what authority he had to take his flour, and having been satisfied up- on that point he departed. But notwithstanding all these precautions it will be found al- most impossible to prevent boats escaping o- ver the British line with flour.
On Thursday last the bones of 11,500 persons said to have died in the prison- ships during the revolutionary war, were formally interred on Long Island. The New York "Citizen" says—The day was one of devotion. Business was suspend- ed. The procession, formed at the Park, agreeably to arrangements previously pub-
lished, moved through the streets to the places of embarkation. The concourse of spectators in the streets, the houses and upon the house tops was immense. It seemed as if every man, woman and child in the city, was anxious to view this scene of national piety. The wharves and places of embarkation were so thronged as seem- ingly to menace personal safety, and yet in the passage to and from Brooklyn of many thousand persons, no accident hap- pened—so admirably were the arrange- ments made and executed. At Brooklyn, twenty Ladies dressed in white, with black crepe veils joined the procession and add- ed interest to the scene. Arrived at the tomb, the Rev. Mr. Williston delivered an appropriate prayer in a strain of unusual eloquence. He was followed by Dr De- Witt , the Orator of the day, in an address finely composed and delivered amid the enthusiastic plaudits of the surrounding spectators. When the sepulchral rites were performed, the procession returned to the park in the city where it was dismissed.
IMPORTANT!
From the Petersburg Republican we copy the following CIRCULAR to amend a cir- cular, issued for the purpose of prescrib- ing who shall use FLOUR. The work of legislation goes on so well, by means of ministerial rescripts, that there ap- pears no need of congress, pliant as they have been found. That body was expeditious enough in fixing restrictions upon their constituents; but it contains ed some federalists and others, who kept such a pithier, as rendered business rather unpleasant.—[North A- merican.]
Treasury Department, May 12, 1808.
(CIRCULAR)
SIR, FINDING that a much more rigid construction has been put in some of the districts than in others, on that part of the circular of 6 h instant which relates to the transportation of flour and other provisions from one port of the Chesapeake to anoth- er port on the waters of the same bay; it is proper to state that it was not thereby intended to convey an opinion that such transportation was without any exception whatever and a sufficient cause of deten- tion.
Amongst those exceptions may be rec- koned the following:
 1. The usual intercourse on the same river, though that river may include seve- ral districts, should not be interrupted.  2. Towns and districts which have usu- ally received their supplies of certain arti- cles of provisions from other districts on the waters of the bay, should continue to receive their usual supplies.  3. Flour, &c. purchased by persons re- siding in another district previous to the receipt of the above mentioned circular, may be taken to the district where it is owned.  4. Planters and others should be permit- ted to send their produce to that city or district which has been their usual market, or to which they have usually sent it as a remittance. 
In order to guard against possible eva- sions, special bonds of the form B may, when thought necessary, be required in the above mentioned cases, before the vessel is suffered to depart: and it must be fully understood, that even in those above men- tioned cases, which in a general view do not appear suspicious, it will still be your duty to detain the vessel, whenever, from any cause whatever, you may have reason to believe that there is an intention, di- rectly or indirectly, to evade or violate the embargo laws.
I am very respectfully sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN.

Embargo—Last Monday was the first day of the quarterly term court for Dinwiddie county. A majority of the sitting magistrates however, for certain reasons assigned, refused to grant judgments in any cause whatever, and the court adjourned without transacting any business.
From the Boston Repository of Friday last.
THE event of the recent elections of state officers for the commonwealth of Massachusetts was decided on Wednes- day last, and we most cordially felicitate the friends of good government and na- tional prosperity, in our own community and throughout the U. States, in the re- sult.
We rejoice that it is now proved, to a demonstration, that a majority of the peo-
ple are capable of judging correctly of great and important political measures, and of breaking the bands of party attachment, when prompted by a sense of public good; for while a republic is actuated by such a sentiment, though we may be brought by mistaken or unprincipled men to the verge of ruin, there will be found a sovereign remedy in the public virtue. The wounds inflicted on our national character and fe- licity are deep, but with patience they will be cured. Massachusetts has set the union a glorious example, worthy of her- self, and her exemplary conduct will ex- cite a sympathetic spirit of regeneration through United America.
We rejoice that Massachusetts, which, through the vicissitudes to which a repub- lic is exposed, has generally maintained a dignified and influential reputation, has resumed her former character, and again displays a predominant attachment to those well digested principles, which pointed the way, when we began our career of prosperity and glory.
We rejoice that this happy regeneration has been effected by a spontaneous im- pulse of the public mind—the great change which has taken place having been produced as unexpectedly to the opponents as to the advocates of those pernicious measures to which we have recently been subjected. The counter-revolution in Massachusetts, we must candidly admit, has been caused by a personal dislike to those who were recently delegated to represent the people, but from a conviction, that those measures which a majority of them thought proper to approve, threatened the destruction of the country. A disposition to wage unnecessary war with a nation disposed to settle all differences with our government—a servile, cringing partiality to a power of a very dif- ferent character, have been observed by the virtuous, enlightened and major part of the community with just alarm and indigna- tion. The distressing sacrifices which have been unnecessarily made, have been submitted to with reluctance, and the first opportunity embraced to show that such a temper was not approved by the suffrages of a just and independent people.
We rejoice that an experiment seemed necessary to ascertain the true relations of the respective classes of the community to each other, the result has shown, in a man- ner, which, we trust, will no soon be for- gotten, that we are bound together by the ties of common interest; that the general good cannot be promoted by a base pro- scription of any one portion of society. Henceforth let us live like brothers, such as providence has made us, emulous only to contribute to the happiness and prosper- ity of ALL.

BEING informed that a friend in Wash- ington has for several years cured his clover agreeable to the method practiced in many parts of England, I wrote him a line on the subject, and was favored with the following, which please to publish in your useful paper.
WASHINGTON, 26th May, 1808.
DEAR SIR, Yours of the 23d inst. I this day receiv- ed, requesting the method I use in curing Clover.
I cut when fully in bloom, and if the sun be intensely hot, I generally turn two swaths together directly, for the day: if alike clear and hot, I only turn over the next day—o- therwise spread it thinner. Where the growth is rank it requires good attendance the second day, and will be fit to stack the third with lit- tle attendance; but if the crop be not heavy, it may be cured the day after mowing. In stacking, under a barrack or shed, I place a flour barrel in the centre, which I stow round, scattering fine salt over the hay, every 18 inches for a course or layer, at the rate of say three pecks to the ton of hay.
Should the growth be strong, and the stalks large, it may heat to a great degree (smoking up the funnel left by drawing up the cask) without danger or injury.
Let the hay be ever so strong grown, I find that cattle and horses eat it without waste when salted, and thrive so well on no other hay.
If this communication serves any, it will give pleasure,
Dear sir, To your respectful & ob't serv't, *****

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named BOB , Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS ; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantalettes with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantalettes nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surtout coat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expences will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington. Allen B. Duckett. Washington City, May 13—14. dif
