WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES: Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at the office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to. Alex. 18th June, 1808.

FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
WE cannot omit the opportunity of professing our respect for the productions of the gentleman, whom we introduce under the name of VALIUS. The uncommon clearness, force and candor of his argument, are further recommended by his urbanity and disinterested manner of acting. It is only in the times of public peril, and when palpable errors of hollow and dangerous demagogues require active exertions, that such a writer could be drawn, for a moment, from the more congenial scenes of an amiable seclusion.
LETTER I.
To the Editor of the North American.
SIR, WERE it not for the degrading epithets and perpetual insults, heaped upon every one who bears the political character of a Federalist, by the democratic prints, perhaps the effect of a destructive policy might be borne in silence, until the experience of the people dictated the necessity of a change. But if, in addition to the oppression of a delusive system, we are to be stigmatized as tories—the enemies of our liberty and our country, it is difficult, for even the most moderate, to suppress his indignation; nor could these charges be so objectionable, had they the least shadow of foundation in truth, or did they grow out of the feelings of our own countrymen.
The most conspicuous characters, who bear the honorable distinction of Federalists, are native born Americans, whose political exertions, calculating upon the axioms of nature, must flow from the love of our country, our laws, and our liberty: but the most prominent characters who have thus undertaken to traduce and vilify our native citizens, are nothing more than the offspring of foreign passion; whose political zeal, to calculate upon the same principle, cannot arise so much out of a love for our country, our laws, or our liberty, as it does from the heat of foreign attachments and antipathies. Their political creed was formed on the other side of the Atlantic; and in this country, under the impulse of nature and early impressions, they are now, though perhaps insensibly, pleading the cause of the friends, and denouncing the enemies, whom they left behind them. They have not arrived in our country with a view of enlisting themselves into American events; but I fear they are Americans into their principles and Antipathies. For by the encouragement of foreign opposite principles, we find the whole union divided upon a foreign subject; our native citizens rallying themselves in opposition to one another under foreign banners. But this theme is not my present object. I would remark, however, that any opposition to these principles shall never attract my notice. I can readily allow, that he who has a principle and the impudence to stigmatize an honest American, in his own country, without cause or provocation, will not be wanting in pouring out slander in his own defence.
The substance of what I shall now consider, will principally refer to a comparison between the effects of the two opposite administrations of our general government. In pursuing this subject, I consider myself only exercising that right, which belongs to every citizen; but which, according to the language of the present ruling party, they would make it appear, belongs to themselves exclusively; and thus require a tame and silent submission to all their operations, whether good or evil.
Such principles, however, tho' they may escape the notice of many honest Americans, and even flourish for a while, yet their time must now be of short duration. Base coin may also circulate for a while, and even maintain the confidence of a deluded people, but experience must sooner or later, expose its authors to the contempt of an injured world; and then it is but natural that they should make every possible defence.
Such is the condition of our present political theory. That policy, which has obtained so general a currency for several years, seems now unable to bear the test of time and events. It now begins to lose its delusive aspect, and its baser quality is obvious to every honest eye. A political confusion, and a general consternation, have proved to be its consequence, and the people are about to reward its authors with that contempt, which the value of their services require. A general burst of indignation is issued by the citizens throughout the union, and a general struggle is made by the ruling party to maintain their power.
Freely to examine the political occurrences of our country, has always been esteemed by the true patriot, amongst our sacred rights. But this right may be exercised, without the empty sound of common-place epithet, in which there is no proof. A declamation that a native Federalist, perhaps one of the founders of our present government, is a tory, an aristocrat, or the friend of England, in opposition to his own country, without any evidence to this effect, can only prove, that such wicked assertions are made for the want of argument.
A comparison between the policy of our government under the administration of a Washington and Adams, with its policy under the administration of Jefferson, should be
allowed to be made without incurring the odium of any honest citizen. But this is seldom to be effected, without censure from the designing and the wicked; and more particularly so, when one policy had proved its salutary effect, while the other is daily unfolding its destructive consequence; for in proportion to the rottenness of a cause, so are its authors bound to defend it, and to stifle every species of investigation. And thus we find the clamor of the democratic prints to increase, in all sort of abuse and scurrility, upon a party long since out of power, as the effect of the present destructive policy becomes more evident. But this clamor will avail them nothing. So soon as the wisdom of our citizens shall lead us from the present policy, its authors cannot be forgotten; they must expect some attention for their services; and no doubt they will be rewarded with their favorite condition, of "dignified retirement." But to point out who these are, let every honest man look around him. They are sufficiently known.
The comparison between two opposite theories will require a short consideration of both—to which I shall proceed in my next.
I trust fully to make it appear, that the continuation of our original principles would have raised us by this time, to the highest respect amongst the nations of the world, clear of embarrassment, and free to continue the advantages of a neutral nation; but that the policy pursued by our present administration, has been directly such as could only produce that political confusion under which we are now to suffer.
VALIUS.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. SATURDAY, JULY 16.
by the rewards of vigorous enterprize and honest industry; as if by the operations of magic, thy villages were converted into cities, thy deserts into plentiful fields, the mud walled cabin into the commodious farm house; thy canvass swelled with every breeze, thy flag was displayed in every sea, it was the signal of American enterprize, transporting to every quarter of the globe the produce of American labor. But those brilliant prospects no more delight the eye, a sudden gloom overcasts the land, the mournful murmurs of discontent strike upon the ear from every quarter; what means all this! 'tis the funeral procession of American prosperity entombed in the dark vaults of a permanent embargo, and he whom you see with the only joyful countenance in the group, is the President of the United States, in the character of a Chinese mandarin, pronouncing an eulogium upon national torpor as the only preservation against national evil.
How long do our rulers expect us to be patient under this mockery. We have experienced the blessings of good government under Washington and Adams, and cannot so soon forget them, and although we may for a while have been deluded by the fanciful chimeras of philosophical experiment, our sufferings will again bring us back to the principles of former times, and recall to our councils before it is too late, men who will administer the government with sound political wisdom, who have capacity and firmness to arrest the progress of desolation and to direct the national energies to the protection of the nation's safety, wealth and glory. The maxims of Washington taught us that for a nation to be respected she must be powerful, and that the best security for the enjoyment of peace was to be prepared for war. But it was a discovery which has been reserved for our present rulers, that "just nations are ever respected by their neighbors," and that it is a waste of the people's money to prepare for "wars which may not happen." Washington in his farewell address has dwelt much, as if with prophetic spirit, upon the dangers of indulging strong partialities towards foreign nations, all of which he ever viewed "as enemies in war, in peace friends." How far our present rulers may have observed this important maxim, in their intercourse with foreign nations, it is painful to examine.
But when we consider the millions of American dollars paid to France by the present administration, for the purchase of a wide extended, undefined western territory, worse than useless, to the people of these United States—when we reflect that at a time when Bonaparte is heaping upon us every insult and injury which the wantonness of tyranny can dictate. The dispatches from our minister at that court are cautiously concealed from the knowledge of the people, when we see the zeal with which the papers in the service of the administration defend every act of the French tyrant, whilst they seize with avidity every occasion to inflame the public resentment against England; when we are informed that a leading member of the administration, on a former occasion, declared that France wanted money and must have it; when we find them unrelentingly pursue to our own ruin the embargo system, because it is agreeable to France and injurious to England—we cannot but believe them actuated by a zeal or partiality towards the one, and an implacable hatred towards the other. It is with reluctance that I condescend to mention, as an additional proof of this partiality, the appointment which we are told has just been made of William Duane to the command of a regiment in the army of the U. States.—What opinion can the president entertain of the spirit of his countrymen, when he presumes that they will enter the service under such an officer—an unprincipled foreigner who, having been scourged from his own country for his misdeeds, has in this "asylum for oppressed humanity," been constantly engaged in blowing the coals of political faction—whose paper is devoted to the praises of our own administration and the defence of the French government, which he has the hardihood to declare has acted towards us with uniform friendship and liberality—a miscreant who at various times has received in the streets of Philadelphia the personal chastisement which his insolence merited. That such a man as this should be appointed to a high military command, is a stigma upon our nation, whilst it is at the same time a notice to applicants of what kind of materials the administration is desirous of composing their army.
With a Wilkinson to encounter the Spaniards, and a Duane to oppose the French, the military annals of Mr. Jefferson's reign must indeed be a splendid monument of national glory.
Quamdiu Catalina abuteris patientia nostra. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
Loss of the Schr. Gustavia. Extract of a letter from the supercargo of the schooner Gustavia, capt. Arnold. St. Thomas, June 14. "This will communicate to you the unfortunate news of the loss of the schooner Gustavia, which capsized in a white squall at sea, on the 29th May last, being then only one day out from St. Bartholomews, bound to Philadelphia. She was upset in the most astonishing, quick and sudden manner you can possibly imagine, not having time to procure any thing except the boat, which we saved with the greatest difficulty. After remaining upon the wreck for seven hours, and using every exertion to right the vessel by cutting away the landyards, &c. when finding all exertions abortive, we thought it most advisable, for the preservation of our lives, to abandon the wreck, and this we were obliged to do, without having either water, bread, or any kind of provisions whatever."
We continued steering a sw. course until the morning of the fourth day from the time we left the wreck when we reached the land of Porto Rico, and remained in that island fifteen days, waiting an opportunity for America: but none offering in all that time, I concluded to come to this island, and have engaged my passage in a brig bound to Boston."
Extract of a letter, dated Paris April 10, 1808. "It is generally believed, that this government has ordered the minister of exterior relations to communicate to that of the United States, that the several administrations of France will no longer hold any correspondence with Mr. Skipwith, as American consul; of course it is expected that the President will name another to fill that office. "We are told that the Osage, which brought Lieut. Lewis with dispatches for General Armstrong, had 6000 private letters on board; they are all here at the general post office, but not any one yet delivered."
GRACIOUS CONDESCENSION. The Bayonne decree, if you will believe the good friends of Napoleon, is a practical commentary on Champagny's letter. "The Emperor considers himself associated with us; he proclaims himself our ally, he will protect us. The determination to capture all American vessels found in the European seas, and the detention of all American property in France, is nothing more than a friendly endeavour on his part to carry the provisions of our embargo law into complete execution. Americans! will you suffer so despicable an artifice to prevail?—will you permit a set of French emissaries any longer to insult you by such nefarious pretences?—Be on your guard—you are in the midst of danger—find out your enemies now and mark them."
A certain print in this city, has published several gross misrepresentations respecting the seizure of the stores of the ship Osage in England. We shall now give the truth from the best authority. On the arrival of the Osage at Falmouth, the surveyor of the port seized the stores—A representation of it was made by Mr. Pinckney to Mr. Canning, who directed the commissioners of the revenue to order the stores to be returned (which was done) and a report to be made of the improper conduct of the seizing officer. It was the opinion of the collector of Falmouth, that the Surveyor would be dismissed, as he was a worthless character. [New-York Journal.]
Mr. Mansfield, who left this city a few days since for Philadelphia, and who was to return to go home in the packet that was to have sailed on Friday, has in consequence of letters by the packet, just arrived, proceeded to Washington. It will be recollected that Mr. Mansfield came out as Secretary to Mr. Rose. ibid.
We have seen a gentleman of intelligence who came passenger in the Sophrona from Antigua who informed us, that the price of flour on the 24th of June was 15 dollars—that a supply of corn had arrived there from the Western Islands, and that more was daily expected. ibid.
Extract of a letter from Barbadoes, dated the 9th of June.—"Since our last flour has declined in price, in consequence of the importation by the fleet being very considerable. "We have plenty of salted provisions from Ireland and cheap, and an overstock of both dry and pickled fish from Halifax and Newfoundland. "You have calculated erroneously in America, if you expect to starve the British Islands by your Embargo. We are begin-
ning to find that we are perfectly independent of your supplies; and we have reason to think that the only great sufferers by this would-be-starving system, will be yourselves."

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years has been acquired throughout the United States celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. I consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 1, Biddle-street, Philadelphia
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
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 soreness, 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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 3 weeks, of Mr. Henry Evbark, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape-worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tiffot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse of mankind however is too often FORGOTTEN. Whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most valuable service and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affection, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.

ELOPED from the subscriber's farm near Alexandria, on the morning of the 4th inst. a NEGRO MAN named
JOHN,
About 21 years of age, hired by me from William Hepburn—He was formerly employed by Hepburn and Dandas as their wagoner—He is a stout well made fellow, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, with large, thick, curling lips, a flat nose, large nostrils and is very black—He has a mark resembling a corn on the side of each of his feet near the little toe and stutters when spoken to hastily or when taken by surprise—He had on when he eloped, an old osnaburg shirt, new osnaburg trowsers and an old wool hat, and also took with him two woollen jackets, one of them blue, the other brown, a pair of nankeen pantaloons and an old castor hat—It is probable he had other clothes which he may have taken off with him.

A person answering the above description has been seen on both these roads.
