WILLIAM RIDDLE.
Martinsburg, February 17, 1804.
From the CHARLESTON COURIER.
THE abuse of power has time out of mind been a pregnant topic of discontent. The complaint of it is often a stepping stone to power, power a stepping stone to abuse, and abuse again to complaint, and thus they run on a mill-horse round, furnishing the base trader in politics with means of deception and profit, at the expense, not only of the public purse (that is comparatively of trifling evil) but of the public tranquility and comfort. In fact those who are the greatest complainers when they have no share in the government or power of the state, never fail to give the greatest cause of complaint when they get into it. The most lewd, bawling hound of the whole pack of demagogues, always becomes the most thorough paced fawning courtier; and he who when out boasts most of his own purity, and most loudly impeaches that of others, never fails when in to become corrupt even to rottenness. The very abuses which that description of men when in office practice, are the very things which furnish them with all the topics by which when out of office they endeavour to render government in the abstract odious to the people. In truth, power appears not more odious or more mischievous in their inventives, when as demagogues they adulate and beguile the people, than it is made by their practices when as public officers they plunder and oppress them. The people see it, yet the people never mend. They listen with languishing regard to the demagogue of to-day, who is to be their betrayer to-morrow, though all the while he is reminding them that he who is their betrayer and plunderer to-day was but yesterday their demagogue and idol.
It was from a correct view of the heart of man as he ever is found to act in a political capacity, and a conviction of the truths we have stated above, that the federalists repeatedly foretold, and over and over again apprized the people, exhorting them to keep the prediction in remembrance, that as soon as ever those flaming sons of licentiousness under the abused name of liberty, the democrats, got into power, they would demonstrate to the conviction of the country what their real views were—whether they sought power to use it for patriotic purposes, or for the purposes of peculation; and that as soon as they got the vigilant guardians of the state out of power and themselves fast in it, their ambition and avarice would be so many for their prudence, and they would fall out with each other in a scramble for office, influence and pelf. Those predictions are verified, and the party which by art and gross misrepresentation of their adversaries, and if it were possible still more to themselves, ousted the federalists, present at this moment to the northward a spectacle to the public eye the most ridiculous, and if a people could be improved by such things, the most edifying imaginable. The game of the French from 1792 to 1796, is playing there in all its parts, and all its modes—the stake is the same—the object the same—the principle the same—words run equally high, and the words are pretty nearly the same, as those of which the French jacobins made use at that detestable period. Assassination is not committed it is true—at yet it is only preached. The guillotine is not yet erected in the streets—it still remains locked up in the bosom; but if we are to form a conjecture from the language which is held, it is probable we shall soon hear of the stiletto, the poignard, and the national razor, (so the French called the guillotine) making some citizens bite the dust.
The divisions of party and the scuffles of conflicting factions have, in all countries, been sufficiently derogatory to the human character. In France alone has it been completely atrocious and disgraceful. That assassination was contemplated and inculcated in imitation of the French, by the English jacobins, is certain, but it was only in their private clubs, where every monster who recommended and attempted to justify it, knew he was talking to monsters like himself. But they also knew the broad and deep foundation of John Bull's humanity and justice too well to venture upon a public promulgation of such principles. That
society must be far gone indeed in wickedness among whom it would be indulged to have such horrible purposes even darkly insinuated. In what stage of this damnable descent those must be who propounded ever so loosely, "such horrible imaginings," we will not venture to say. Let our readers make up each his own opinion on the subject.
The public journals of New-York at this moment present an afflicting display of the abominable strife to which the spirit of party when unrestrained by legal provisions, will drive a people. There, things run little short of dagger drawing and throat cutting.
It is no longer a contest between the two principles of Federalism and Anti-Federalism; but between Anti-Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Having driven the Federalists from the field, and completely routed them for the present, they have set fire to the camp, and broken into the town, and are now scuffling for the booty. To speak less figuratively, a schism has taken place between them, as was often predicted. The Mountain and the Moderates, under the name of Clintonians and Burrites are at it pell mell, cutting, hacking, slashing, and tearing each other's eyes out, scolding and mobbing like Poissardes, while the Marseillois of the dray, the car, and the cart, are whetting their weapons to drive their political lectures into the heads of the people, and
Prove their doctrine orthodox, By Jacobinic thumps and knocks,
while some of the public prints sound the charge to the tune of the Marseillois Hymn or Caira. Beautiful Aires no doubt! which many love for something beside the music—for "An Undescribable Something"—But, readers, "I'll not tell you what," because it must lead to an inquiry that would souse us both into the depths of Mr. Locke, and the whole doctrine of the Association of Ideas, and stick us fast, up to the knees, in the mud of Metaphysics.
The famous Lord North (his name has probably been heard before now in America) once speaking of the father of the present Lord Hutchinson, old Hely Hutchinson, who was at once Provost of Dublin College, a King's Council, a Minister of State, an officer in the army, besides many other things, said, "If I were to give that little man all England, Ireland and Scotland, for an estate, he would beg the Isle of Man for a cabbage garden." The same voracious appetite attends the persons in question. They are not contented with engulfing the government, and altering the constitution, but they want to alter the charter of New-York, that they may engulf the municipal government of that place, and have it to themselves. A New-York paper states, that at a Democratic meeting held to concert measures for that purpose, a leader of the party styled Clintonian, swore, "BY THE ETERNAL GOD, that for the sake of opposing Mr. Burr, he would raise an army, head it himself, and lead his fellows to the gates of Hell." This is the right Mountain language, held in the National Assembly of France, by Legendre, the butcher, when legislator of the shambles.—We are glad to hear, however, that such men have the grace to name The Eternal God at all, though it be only in an oath. What is sinful in good men, may appear something like virtuous in bad. Should the gentleman whoever he is, equip his army, and march on the expedition he has proposed (to Hell) we wish him success to his laudable enterprize.
We have often taken occasion to mention, and the haggard aspect of an afflicted world, wearied and wasted with looking on with fear and astonishment upon the transactions which have passed in France during the revolution, bear testimony to the horrors and abominations of that period. Considering that murder was let loose by the authorities existing at the time in France, and is restrained by law in America, we do not know that there is to be found in the whole progress of the French revolution a piece of more daring impudent depravity and wickedness, than a paragraph in one of those papers. Reader! contemplate it; it needs no comment—it speaks for itself. The writer having observed, that Governor Clinton's declarations respecting Mr. Jefferson at Mr. Burr's house must,

if made at all, have been made in confidence; and that the exposing them now to the public is an act of baseness, he thus concludes—
“Any man, who after this shall confide in the wretch who has published or authorised the publication of this anecdote, will deserve to be stabbed to the heart by the poniard of an assassin in the unsuspecting moments of sleep.”
The outrageous conflict in New-York, occasioned by the laudable revolt of the second personage in rank of the ant federal party, from the proceedings of the executive, the honest desertion of leading persons in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and in Congress, and the opposition which they have to the doctrines and conduct of the partisans of the cabinet, evince that there is a schism in the party at large, and that the spirit of discontent and division has got among them. For our parts, we speak not of it with any sort of malignant triumph or party delight. The country is likely to receive more disgrace than advantage from it.—The storm of democratic madness must entirely pass over, before any thing substantially good or rational can be expected to be done. So long as all those who have power demonstrably show that they think neither of the country or the country's permanent good, nor of any thing but themselves and offices, and their own private interest, it little avails how much they quarrel among themselves.—As Mr. Windham, in his celebrated speech said of the French revolutionary quarrels, “The ship has been in mutiny—there has been fighting in the waist and on the forecastle, but the vessel has held her course.” So it is in this case, it disgraces one party without restoring the other. We therefore view it only as Swift viewed the contest between the Dilettanti and Amateurs about Handel and Fanninelli the Italian musician, and can only say in the words of the Dean, Strange that such difference should be 'Twixt Twedledum and Twedledee.
NORFOLK, February 29. DEPLORABLE and DISTRESSING FIRE!!
On Wednesday night about 11 o'clock, the inhabitants were roused from their beds with the repeated cry of FIRE!—which was perceived issuing from the ware house of Mr. Dunlap, on Maxwell's wharf, and which raged and spread with such fury, that the only exertion which could be made by the activity of the citizens to arrest its progress was the blowing up of several houses, or it is probable not a house in the Borough would have escaped destruction. It has laid waste the most commercial part of the town, having totally destroyed every building on Campbell's wharf, Maxwell's, Marsden's, Rothery's, Commerce Street, Warren's, and Wood-sides wharves, and progressed up the Market Square to the Main Street, and continued its ravages along the Main Street to Mr. Whitehead's new buildings, reducing every house in Wide and Little Water Streets. Were it not for the exertions of a few who manfully resisted the flames, and prevented Mr. Taylor's warehouse adjoining Wood-side's wharf from taking fire, the whole of the valuable buildings on Town Point must have been laid waste.
Some lives were lost, and many persons badly wounded by the blowing up of the houses. The market house was partly cut down, which prevented a communication of the flames to the north side of the Main street, which luckily escaped. Upwards of 260 houses are totally destroyed, and the estimate of general loss, is, on a moderate calculation, supposed to exceed ONE MILLION of dollars. Numbers of lighters owing to their being overloaded, and the tide being remarkably low, were burnt in the docks. Several vessels at the wharves took fire, and some in this state drifted to Portsmouth, when it communicated and destroyed some others—indeed, at one period, it appeared as if Portsmouth was on fire.
The raging of the flames, the columns of smoke, the blowing up of houses, the rainy night, the property exposed for safety in the streets, the cries of those who were scated by their little property sheltered only by the canopy of Heaven—the ships on fire drifting in the harbor, together with the probability of the whole town being destroyed, exhibited altogether to the senses and to the eye an awful and dreadful picture. Thousands must have been deprived of a resting place as it was the most populous part of the Borough.
What adds to the above melancholy narrative, is, that a snow and very severe
frost came on before many an unfortunate family could find shelter for their wearied limbs. We are happy to learn, that the Corporation have allotted money for the immediate relief of the needy sufferers , who will receive assistance on application at the Office of John Nevison, Esq. Handbills to this effect appearing in different parts of the town; those happy beings, therefore whom Providence has blessed with affluence, have now a fine opportunity to exhibit their benevolence, by adding their liberality to that of the Corporate Body; and, we have no doubt, but the same will be cheerfully received at the above office, and with equal satisfaction distributed.
The inhabitants of all descriptions, shewed great activity; but it is to be lamented, that there are so few buckets and axes, and that the engines are not kept in better order, as they were of little or no use.
Since writing the above, a gentleman handed us the following statement of houses burnt down:
 Maxwell's wharf 13  Campbell's do. 9  Rothery's do. 18  Marsden's do. 5  Commerce Street do. 19  Woodsides do. both sides 17  Warren's do. 6  South side of Wide Water street, from Campbell's wharf to Commerce street 12  North side of Wide Water street, from Market square to Commerce street 30  South and North side of Wide Water street to Warren's wharf 17  Commerce street, from Wide Water street up to Main street 14  Narrow Water street, from Market square to Commerce street 40  Narrow Water street, from Commerce street towards the Exchange Coffee House 11  From Narrow Water street on the west side of Market square to Main street 12  From the corner of Market square on the south side of Main street to Commerce street 14  Gow's Ally and Lanes back, Rothery's Lane, 11  12  Total, 260 
By an accurate statement as can at present be made, the value of houses alone destroyed is estimated at 250,000 dollars.
Vessels destroyed. Ship Jackson, of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
A French brig, name unknown. Brig Eliza, (coppered,) of Charleston. A British Sloop. Two Schrs. laden with Flour.
It is to be hoped, that the conflagration of which we have this day given an account was accidental; yet from some alarming circumstances that have since occurred, it is much to be apprehended that some vile incendiaries contemplate the total destruction of this town; but we trust the vigilance and activity of the magistracy will be such as to discover it. This observation is produced by the attempt made at eleven o'clock last night to set on fire the stable of Dr. James Taylor. The chump of fire was placed at the sill of the door, and had burnt through and communicated to some oat straw, but was providentially discovered by the watchmen in time to prevent its progress. Several of the weather boards were burnt through and part of the floor, and had it not been arrested, as the wind was, the east end of the town must have become a bonfire.
CONGRESS of the U. STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. February 24.
Mr. Findly, from the committee of elections, to whom was referred a memorial of Andrew Moore, respecting the election of Thomas Lewis, a sitting member, made a report, which, after stating the bad votes given for each of the candidates, concludes with the opinion that Thomas Lewis is not , and that Andrew Moore is entitled to a seat in the house.
Report made the order for Wednesday.
February 29. The House went again into a committee of the whole on the bill for the government of Louisiana.
Messrs. Jackson, Sloan, Smilie, Elliot, Boyle, Olin and Elmer supported; and Messrs. Holland, S. L. Mitchell and Lucas opposed the motion to strike out the fourth section, made with a view of extending to the people of Louisiana the elective franchise; when the question was put, and the motion to strike out carried. Ayes 80—Nocs 15.
Mr. G. Campbell offered the following substitute.
The governor and judges or a majority of them, shall adopt and publish in the said territory, such laws of the original states, criminal and civil, as may be necessary and best suited to the circumstances of the territory, and may also make such laws as they shall deem conducive to the good government of the inhabitants thereof, and report the same to congress from time to time, which laws shall be in force in the said territory, until the organization of the general assembly therein, unless disapproved of by congress, but afterwards the legislature shall have authority to repeal or alter them as they shall think fit.
The governor and judges or a majority of them, shall as soon as may be, after they are appointed and commissioned, divide the said territory into divisions, to be called counties in such manner as may best suit the convenience of the inhabitants, each county to contain as nearly as may be consistent with the nature of the settlements, an equal number of free persons; and the city of New Orleans to form one county.
Previous to the organization of the general assembly, the governor shall appoint such magistrates, and other civil officers in each county of the said territory, as he shall find necessary for the preservation of peace and good order in the same; after the general assembly shall be organized, the powers and duties of magistrates and other civil officers shall be regulated and defined by the said assembly, but all the magistrates and other civil officers whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, shall, during the continuance of this temporary government, be appointed by the governor.
The general assembly or legislature, shall consist of a legislative council and a house of representatives: the house of representatives shall consist of members, of whom shall be chosen from the county including the city of New Orleans, and from each of the other counties in the said territory, a majority of whom shall be a quorum to do business.
No person shall be eligible or qualified to act as a representative except a free white male, who shall have been a citizen of one of the United States, or of one of the territories, heretofore belonging to the United States three years, and be a resident within the county for which he shall be chosen, and in either case shall likewise hold in his own right in fee, two hundred acres of land within the same. Every person of the age of twenty one years, having been a citizen of the United States, or having resided in the said territory one year immediately preceding any election, shall be qualified to vote for a representative or representatives in the county in which he shall reside at the time of such election.
The Legislative council shall consist of members, to continue in office one year, unless sooner removed by the president of the United States, a majority of whom shall be a quorum to do business, and they shall be appointed in the following manner, to wit: As soon as representatives shall be elected, the governor shall appoint a time and place for them to meet, and when met, they shall nominate persons, having the same qualifications, as are herein declared necessary for representatives, and return their names to the governor, who shall within days thereafter, appoint and commission of them to serve as a legislative council; and whenever a vacancy shall happen in the council, by death or removal from office, the house of representatives shall nominate two persons qualified as aforesaid for each vacancy, and return their names to the governor, one of whom he shall appoint & commission for the residue of the term. The general assembly shall meet at least once in every year, at the City of New Orleans, at such time after the first meeting as may be appointed by law. And the governor shall have power on extraordinary occasions to convene the general assembly.
After the first election representatives shall be elected annually, in such manner as the legislature may direct, not contrary to the provisions of this act.—And a legislative council shall likewise be annually appointed, in the manner herein before directed.
The general assembly shall have authority to make laws in all cases for the good government of the said territory, not repugnant to the constitution and laws of the United States. All bills having passed by a majority in the House of Representatives, and by a majority in the council, shall be referred to the governor for his assent, but no bill or legisla-
tive act whatever shall be of any force without his assent.
The governor and judges, or a majority of them, as soon as may be, after the said territory shall have been divided into counties, and within from the passing of this act, shall make the necessary regulations; and give time and place to the inhabitants of each county of the said territory, qualified to vote as herein before prescribed, to elect representatives to represent them in the general assembly. The representatives thus elected shall serve for the term of one year, and in case of the death of a Representative or removal from office, the governor shall issue a writ to the county for which he was a member, to elect another in his stead to serve for the residue of the term.
The legislature of the said territory shall have no power over the primary disposal of the soil, nor to tax the lands of the U. States, nor to interfere with the claims to land within the said territory.
When the committee rose and obtained leave to sit again; and the house ordered the section proposed as a substitute to be printed.
MARTINSBURG, March 9.
Died very Suddenly on Sunday last, in this town, Mr. William Bell, senr.
COURT MARTIAL.
We learn (says the Natchez Gazette) by letters received in this town that the Court Martial have found the first charge against Col. Butler substantiated, viz. “disobedience of orders in refusing to crop his hair,” and have sentenced him to receive a reprimand and that they have acquitted him of the second charge, viz. “Neglect of duty in not rendering himself to his command in this country.”
It is reported, that the federalists in the middle and eastern states, propose holding up Mr. King and Mr. Pinckney for Presidency and Vice-Presidency, at next election. If this be true, their choice will certainly be equally acceptable to the federalists of the southern states; the Carolinas in particular. There is no citizen in the U. States, the integrity of whose political character is better established than Mr. King's. Having also been absent from this country during those late years in which faction and party spirit have so much prevailed, he appears better calculated than almost any other individual for harmonizing the minds of our citizens, and restoring that peace and mutual concord which ought to be the basis of every well regulated government. Mr. King also, from his residence in Europe during the most critical period in foreign politics, is better versed and acquainted with the real designs of Great-Britain on this country than any other man. Pinckney is universally acknowledged to be both a soldier and a statesman. Even the most daring among his opponents have neither impeached his integrity, his honor, or his talents. To the deep knowledge of the politician, he unites the most pleasing address, equally fascinating to the courtier and the honest republican. We have no doubt, if the northern states continue in the idea of electing Mr. King and Mr. Pinckney, that they will prove successful, and finally triumph over their enemies.
[Vir. Gaz.]
The Virginia Legislature has appointed a committee to wait on the Legislature of North-Carolina, to enter into stipulations on the subject of opening a navigable canal from Nansemond in Virginia, to Bennet's creek in North Carolina, and from Meherrin river to Roanoke river.
By an article dated Havanna, Jan. 19, it appears that General Noailles was in an American vessel, when he captured the British privateer commanded by Capt. Wilson, and that the attack was wholly unprovoked by the privateer.—It is to be lamented that so little respect is shown for the American flag in the West Indies. How our government will relish this use of an American vessel to capture one of a nation on the most friendly terms with us, we have yet to learn—but we sincerely trust it will not suffer our flag to be degraded with impunity. [N. Y. Daily Adv.]
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated January 16.
A transport having on board upwards of 200 of Rochambeau's troops escaped from Cape Francois, put into the Balize a few days since in distress, on short allowance of provisions. Steps have been ta-

ken to supply their wants and at the same time it has been intimated to them that they cannot be permitted to land in this Province.
A letter from an American gentleman now in London to his friend in Boston, dated November 24, says, "The various channels through which you receive the politics of Europe, render it unnecessary to detail much on this subject. On the war between France and England, I would observe, generally, that it has led both nations into measures and preparations of immense expense, which threaten a more important enterprise than has alarmed Europe for centuries. Bonaparte, by raising and disciplining a numerous army, by building a vast number of gun-boats, and making extensive arrangements, on the coast of France and Holland, has impressed belief of a serious intention to make a descent on England. Such effect have these measures produced, that the people of France appeared to me (when lately there) to have the fullest confidence that the attempt would be made, and the army ready and willing to undertake it the moment it was proposed. To the people of Great Britain it has excited the most serious alarm, and the preparations necessary against the chance of attack, has led them into an incalculable expense. As to the probability of the attempt, it depends solely on Bonaparte. He is a man who acts wholly from the operations of his own mind—who neither asks nor takes counsel—and who never communicates his determinations—until he is prepared to have them executed. For my own part, I am inclined to believe, that these threatening preparations are measures of grand policy in the First Consul, to alarm England, and subject her to an expensive establishment. This has already been effected, but it is intended to extend still further.
France, independent of her own resources, has the rich nations of Europe now tributary to her; she can better afford to keep up the appearance of such an attack, than England can to remain prepared against it. The hope therefore is, that by adding weight to the burthens which this country has long laboured under, to make her bend if not sink, under the increase."
Further Extract from London. "Our commerce was hardly ever more flourishing, considering the peculiar situation of political affairs. Our expectations of produce are immense, and all the exchanges decidedly in our favor; an evident proof that the threatened invasion has not had the effect of lessening our credit or destroying confidence. Spain and Portugal have at last, it is reported, succeeded in obtaining from France, a guarantee of their neutrality, in consideration of an enormous yearly subsidy, to be paid by the latter."

The Subscriber now offers for sale, a very handsome and extensive assortment of
Dry Goods and Groceries,
The particulars of which are too numerous to mention, all of which he is now selling at the most reduced prices that goods can be sold for in this part of the country. He solicits all his friends and old customers to the co-partnership of P. Nadenbousch, & Co. not to pass by him, for he assures them, and the public in general, that every step shall be taken to give them satisfaction in trade.—The subscriber also begs leave to return his unfeigned thanks to all those who have contributed to his support, while doing business for the co-partnership of P. Nadenbousch, & Co. and hopes, that having now commenced business on his own account, he will not be deserted by them, so long as he shall merit their custom.
N. B. All accounts due to the concern of P. Nadenbousch, & Co. are payable to the subscriber, as a dissolution has taken place, he therefore flatters himself that all those who are in any wise indebted, will come forward and discharge their respective accounts immediately—it is his wish that the reasonableness of this request will be attended to, as no longer indulgence can be given.

My Love's a Vessel trim and gay. BY DIEDIN.
MY love's a vessel trim and gay, Rigg'd out with truth and stor'd with honor; As through live's sea she cuts her way, All eyes with rapture gaze upon her. Built ev'ry wondering heart to please, The lucky shipwright's love and fancy, From stem to stern she moves with ease, And other launch they call'd her Nancy.
When bearing up against life's gales, So well she stems the dangerous trou- ble,
I call her Ann as she sails, Her form's so grand her air's so noble. When o'er the trembling wave she flies, That plays and sports as she advances, "Well said, my Nan," I fondly cry, As my full heart in concert dances.
In Studding sails before life's breeze, So sweetly gentle is her motion, She's Anna, for as she moves with ease, She seems the queen of all the ocean. But when on Sundays rigg'd in stays, Like beauty gay, and light as fancy, She wins my heart a thousand ways, I then delight to call her Nancy.
When laying on a tack so neat, [ing, The breeze her milk-white bosom fill- She skims the yielding waves so fleet, I call her Nance, my bosom thrilling. Thus is she precious to my heart, [ey; By what e'er name comes o'er my fan- Graceful or gay, grand, neat, or smart, Or Anna, Ann, Nan, Nance, or Nancy.
THE TEAR.
On beds of snow the moonbeam slept, And chilly was the midnight gloom, When, by the damp grove, ELLEN wept, Sweet maid! it was her lover's tomb.
A warm tear gush'd, the wintry air Congeal'd it, as it flow'd away; All night it lay an ice drop there, At morn, it glitter'd in the ray.
An angel, wandering from the sphere, Who saw this bright this frozen gem, To dew-cy'd Pity brought the tear, And hung it on her diadem.

FARMERS ATTEND.
MANY of you hav- ing very frequent- ly applied to the sub- scriber (he being in the habit of trading to the Northward) to bring a covering horse of the
Eusopus breed, which you so much (and not without just cause) admire, he there- fore being induced from interest, as well as having a natural disposition to accom- modate, has procured one of that stock, which he flatters himself will please.—
This noble Horse, called EUSOPUS BALL,
Will stand the ensuing season at the sub- scriber's stable in Martinsburg, at the moderate price of three dollars and a bu- shel of oats the season, the oats to be brought with the mare, five dollars for insurance, and one dollar cash the single leap. The season to begin the first day of April and end the middle of July.— Credit will be given for the money until the 1st of April 1805.
Eusopus Ball is a handsome dark bay, ten years old this spring, he is sixteen and an half hands high, with bone and body in proportion, and is as well calculated for the draft as any horse in the state of Virginia. The public will please to ex- cuse me for omitting his pedigree, as I conceive it unnecessary, relying on their sufficient knowledge and acquaintance with the breed and services of those va- luable kind of horses—without this, his form alone, will be sufficient to recom- mend him.
