NEW JERSEY
FEDERAL MEETING.
THE Honorable the Legislature of New Jersey having, on the seventh day of this instant, enacted a law whereby, on the 23d and 24th days of December next, an election is to take place throughout the State for choosing five persons as Representatives in the seventh Congress of the United States...
1st. That, in the opinion of this meeting, it will be most conducive to the interest of the Federal Government, and the real good of the people of New Jersey, to promote the election of Aaron Ogden, William Coxe, jun., James H. Imlay, Franklin Davenport, and Peter D. Vroom, as their representatives, in the next Congress.
2d. That, in coming to this resolution, the members of this meeting have acted upon the most disinterested principles, relinquished all local and private preferences, and, proceeding upon a large and extensive view of the situation of the State and its relative political aspects, have recommended those characters as most likely to combine the efforts of the friends of order and justice, and to ensure Representatives, respectable for their talents and integrity.
3d. That, as essential to the success of the federal ticket, this meeting earnestly recommends to their fellow-citizens activity and zeal; and feeling that there is but one common interest, and relinquishing private and local considerations, they would unite in one common effort to secure, at this important crisis, a representation, in the next Congress, truly attached to those measures of the General Government, which have hitherto preserved the peace of the country, its prosperity and glory.
4th. That, for the purpose of carrying into effect the above intentions, this meeting further recommends to the several counties, to take early measures for the support of the federal ticket, by conveying information, and taking the necessary steps to counteract such false and fraudulent impositions, as the enemies of the federal government practised at the late election for members of the State Legislature, but happily without success.
5th. That John Outwater, of Bergen; Eliza Boudinot, of Essex; John Neilson, of Middlesex; John Lloyd, of Monmouth; Frederick Frelinghuysen, of Somerset; Geo. Anderson, of Burlington; Thomas Heston, of Gloucester; William Wallace, of Salem; Samuel Ogden, of Cumberland; Parson Leaming, of Cape May; Isaac Smith, of Hunterdon; William Campfield, of Morris; and, Peter Sharp, of Sussex; be requested to prepare and publish an address to the citizens of New Jersey, recommending to their attention these resolutions, and suggesting such reasons as they may think calculated to impress on their minds the necessity of supporting the objects of this meeting.
Ordered, That the proceedings of this meeting, signed by the chairman, and attested by the secretary, by the secretary, be published in all the newspapers of this State. ISAAC SMITH, Chairman. JOHN BEATTY, Secretary. November 13, 1800. ADDRESS TO THE Federal Republicans OF THE STATE OF NEW-JERSEY, RECOMMENDING THE CHOICE OF AARON OGDEN, WILLIAM COXE, jun., JAMES H. IMLAY, FRANKLIN DAVENPORT, AND PETER D. VROOM, Esquires, FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE Seventh Congress of the United States.
BY A COMMITTEE, Appointed at the State House in Trenton, on the 13th of November, 1800.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, IT is manifest to all, that, from the very commencement of the Federal Government, in March, 1789, to this moment, a party has existed, incessantly opposed to its operations, and indecently in their treatment of the constituted authorities.
This party was at first limited; consisting chiefly of those characters, in the larger states, who were dissatisfied with the balance given by the constitution to the smaller members of the confederacy by an equal representation in the Senate.
This they could never forgive; and, failing to prevent its adoption, they wished to justify their unfavorable predictions, by obstructing the measures of government.
And, it is not to be doubted, they will seize on the first opportunity, which presents itself, either to annihilate the Senate, the anchor of our union, or mould it to the views of the more powerful states.
Yet the evident benefits, immediately resulting from the new Constitution, under the Federal Administration, soon stopped the clamor, if it did not quite extinguish the spirit of disaffection.
United councils; firm government; equal law; just and temperate liberty--these great objects of the revolution, and the promised rewards of so much toil and blood--were, for a time, the result of this great Federal Charter.
This fair prospect, however, was of short duration: The wars, which broke out in Europe, and which, for ten years past, have ravaged and desolated its finest regions, became the sources of infinite mischief to this rising empire.
The French Revolutionists, distracted, with diplomatic intrigues, our public councils; their philosophers, with impious systems of infidelity, poisoned the public morals; and their agents and partisans, profiting by the resentments which yet survived in the breasts of many Americans against Great-Britain, infused, every where, a spirit adverse to the public tranquility.
To the French Faction, were soon united, another class of aliens, equally disposed to force the government to war, and eager to avail themselves of the contingencies which that event, combined with a French connection, might present as favorable to their criminal desires.
These were emigrants from the English dominions, who, flying from punishment, or penury, gladly sought an asylum in a land, which held forth impunity to their crimes, and an easy supply to their wants.
With all these, were associated, the discontented--the ambitious--the unprincipled; and the disappointed, of our own countrymen; and although the three descriptions differed in their national original, and, in some respects, pursued different ends, yet, all united in one common and formidable opposition to the Federal Government; because it equally thwarted their grand revolutionary projects.
This Government was conducted by men of the first talents and the highest political integrity; their objects were Independence--Peace--Public Faith--Stability--Law--Practical Civil Liberty.
They proceeded on the maxims of experience--resisted the efforts of clubs and associations, formed to control or destroy the lawful authorities; they rejected the wild theories of democratic enthusiasts, and the insidious suggestions of pretended patriots; and, persevering, amidst threats from abroad and factions at home, they steadily pursued a course of dignified neutrality and constitutional energy--"maintaining union--establishing justice--insuring domestic tranquility--providing for the common defence--promoting the general welfare, and securing to themselves and posterity the blessings of liberty."
The intelligent and the virtuous have, at all times, been on the side of government: To their union, and their efforts, we owe it that, amidst the wreck of states and kingdoms, and the extinction of religion and law, WE are yet FREE and HAPPY!
Fellow Citizens, if we look back, and survey the dangers we have passed, and the immense store of blessings, which have been secured under the Federal Government, where can we find cause for complaint, or how express the extent of our gratitude!
And yet this government, so free in its principles--so gentle in its restraints--so just in its laws--so prudent in its measures--so profuse in its benefits--the source and surety of our political liberty, our civil immunities, and religious freedom--has been the constant subject of reproach; and those, who have conducted it, the victims of calumny and persecution!
Those factions have never ceased to obstruct government, and to embitter society. Trod treading down, they are not destroyed--though foiled in successive attempts to disorganize, and to crush the systems of Washington and Adams, they rise with new vigor to the charge, proud of their very defeats, and meditating greater mischief.
The very measures necessary to guard the country against their destructive projects of revolution and anarchy, become the subjects of accusation, and are set down as fresh items in their catalogue of grievances!
If by their countenancing or provoking foreign nations to outrage upon our rights and commerce, the government has been forced to protect them by military and naval armaments--then is the cry of standing armies, and expensive navies, resounded in every quarter; and tyranny, and taxation, held up to alarm and disgust the people.
When, by fomenting discontent among the ignorant, they have stirred up resistance to the laws, and rebellions ensued--if Government represses the insurrection by force of arms, then is it accused of too much vigor in the means used for its protection, and charged with extravagance in the expenses attending the public service.
When, by continued torrents of calumny, they would destroy public confidence, and bring into contempt the representatives of the people--if laws are found necessary to curb sedition and slander, then is the liberty of the press the theme of their prairies, and its infringement the topic of violent declamation against the government.
If the government resents foreign insults then it is charged with provoking war; if it submits to them, then it is upbraided with pusillanimity.
French depredations, tho' continued for years, and sanctioned by their government, are palliated, and can never justify resistance; but a British impressment, or capture, unauthorized by the sovereign, and chargeable only to individual violence or ignorance, is at once admitted, and even urged, as a sufficient cause for national war.
If the government will not protect commerce, then the revenue falls; foreign goods become dear, and home productions cheaper to a drug; the taxes must be laid upon the farmer, and industry finds no reward; This is, at once, decreed as wretched policy. To avoid this, the government permits the merchant to arm, and equips a navy to protect the revenue, the capital of the merchant, and the agriculture of the country--then are the people alarmed with tales of naval establishments, and increasing debt.
It is thus these tormentors weave around the constituted powers the web of destruction. If passive, the government sinks into annihilation--if active in repelling the foe, it is branded as the instrument of oppression!
Nor have the shafts of malice fallen only upon the heads of the public functionaries:
Their constitutions--that great and respectable class of the community, which, composing the majority of the people, have approved the measures of government--these, too, have been stigmatized with epithets the most reproachful, and design the most infamous.
These majorities of the American people, are sometimes depicted as a British faction, contriving to restore the British empire; and sometimes as willing to create a monarch of their own!
Sometimes they are aristocrats, because they adhere to the constitutional departments; then they are Tories, because they will not revolutionize their own government.
At one time they are priest-ridden, because they respect religion, and believe it essential to public as well as private happiness.
At another, the lawyers have too much influence, because they are attached to settled government, and stand forth the able defenders of its cause.
Such is the use which these constant libelers make of names and descriptions to inflame the violent, or mislead the unwary!
And whilst they multiply epithets, the most abhorrent, upon the friends of administration, they assume, for themselves, titles of the most distinguished merit--They are the republicans, because they distrust and insult the government--They are friends of the people, because they preach up anarchy under the name of equality--They are reformers, because they wish to overturn--They are economists, because they are seeking after places! I profit--They are modest because they are climbing after power.
Their censures are confined within no bounds, nor admit of any exceptions!
Every law is condemned as useless or oppressive; the acts of every department, whether executive or judicial, are misrepresented; every public character is traduced; every friend to government threatened or derided; even the ordinary and necessary attendants of every government are held up as superfluous or oppressive.
Taxes, raised to pay the debts, defray the public charges, and execute the vast political and civil operations of the confederacy, are proved to be grievances; and the people invited to dispense with them.
Salaries, the stipulated compensations of those who engage in the arduous and thankless duties of public office, receive appropriate names of pensions and sinecures; or are hypocritically pretended to be enormous and unmerited.
Public Officers are treated as public nuisances; and the people persuaded, that they are multiplied beyond the necessities of the nation.
Incidents, the most insignificant, and mis-takes the most innocent, are tortured into forms, monstrous and alarming!
The delinquency of a petty officer becomes an offence in the government; and the accidental preference of an unworthy candidate for a subaltern appointment, is charged against it as a premeditated wrong!--A casual conversation, half told--a confidential letter, half in jest, are exhibited as proofs of treason, or confessions of corruption!
This, fellow-citizens, is but a faint portrait of the violence, the injustice, and the arts of the factions, uniting their wishes and their means to disorganize the republic; and, upon the ruins of religion, morality and law, to establish the reign of terror and the sword of despotism.
Such have been the circumstances of the government, and such, for twelve years, the discouragements under which it had been conducted!
Still, however, the wise and the virtuous have prevailed!--The great body of real Americans, too enlightened to be deceived, and too independent to be awed, have approved the systems, begun by Washington, continued by Adams and supported by their representatives.
Six times have the American people, in their elections, returned majorities, friendly to those principles which characterize the conduct of the Federalists.
THE SEVENTH CONGRESS is now to be chosen, and the great question again submitted to us--whether to continue our government in the hands of men opposed to untried theories and dangerous innovations, and attached to the existing order of things--or whether we will abandon it to the direction of those, whose conduct, whose writings, whose views, are revolutionary! to men who plainly tell us, "that they mean to change the entire face of things in this country!"
Arrived at this awful crisis, and compelled to a choice, it becomes us all, fellow-citizens, to think seriously and to act decisively.
The line seems distinctly drawn.--It is no longer a dispute about this or the other particular measure, as has been artfully pretended; but the opposition is general--it arraigns every federal character, and every federal measure--and aims at the overthrow of our national establishments.
These men do not conceal the extent of their designs--Every gazette--every handbill--every address they publish, speaks the language of disaffection, and announces the approach of Revolution!
The treaty with Great-Britain--the Public debt--the National Bank--the Navy--the Judiciary--the Senate--the Departments--the Finances--the Trade of the country--are all singled out, either as objects of destruction or subjects for radical reform.
A new President--new councils--new representatives--new officers--nay, we are told, that principles must be regenerated!--and that a new spirit must animate the American people--that something, which they mis-call Republicanism, must take the place of those temperate affections, which have heretofore united us to a just and efficient plan of constitutional liberty.
And, fellow citizens are you prepared to assent, or submit, to projects so bold--to changes so dangerous, if not ruinous!
It is not enough that we have encountered years and years of revolution, and are now enjoying that very repose and civil security, which were the price of its toils and dangers?
Why is it, that having established our independence, and progressed to a state of unexampled felicity, we are to throw away the prize--never, perhaps, to be regained--or, only, after unexampled sufferings?
Why are we reminded of seventy-six--and why would the opposers of government revive the spirit and the circumstances of that period?
It was right, and it was necessary, to resist an enemy, and to break the yoke of an oppressor; and it was both natural and useful to countenance and punish his adherents; but to nourish opposition to the government of our own choice, and to enkindle resentments against its supporters, by allusions to the revolutionary war, are equally cruel and criminal.
Those men, who avail themselves of such means to move the violent to desperation, or the weak to discontentment, can have no claim to our confidence or respect; they are either depraved or ignorant.
Viewing the characters and the conduct of the leading opposers of the Federal Government, have we no all reason, fellow-citizens, to be alarmed for our country?--and are we not called to repair to the post of duty?
To reflecting men--to those who have watched the progress of popular discontent, and the causes which conspire to overturn republican institutions--to such minds, these unceasing clamours against government, these rejected schemes of innovation, under the flattering names of economy, and reform, convey the certain presages of some direful crisis!
But our safety is yet in our own hands. The great body of the American people are the Friends of Order, and the Supporters of their Government:--It is only by indifference--by false security--by unmanly timidity, that we shall lose it.
It is impracticable for us, on this occasion to discuss the Measures of Government: The prescribed bounds of our address will not permit it.
Nor do we deem it necessary: They have undergone a full examination; and by your suffrages, at the late Election you have pronounced yourselves SATISFIED!
In so doing, you have fulfilled the duties you owed to society; and we trust, given a pledge for your future exertions.
This government, which has hitherto received our support, and repaid us with its protection--what is its history, but one continued course of prudent legislation?--what does it present, but one wide, extended, picture of national prosperity and individual happiness!
What expectations have been disappointed; nay, what wishes have been left unsatisfied?
Did we look for the Consolidation and Extension of the Confederacy?--and has not our Union been maintained and the states augmented?
If we expected from it, as a State, more Rank and Protection, is not New-Jersey both exalted and secured?
If we trusted to it, as the Guardian of our Independence, and the Defender of our Public Rights is not America, at this moment, free, powerful, and respected?
If we flattered ourselves with increasing Wealth, in what period of the world--in what nation, can a parallel be found?--The Merchant; the Husbandman; the Artizan; the Laborer; every Class of the Community, bear testimony on the side of Government.
If we sought from it the blessings of Peace; of Domestic Security; of Private Property; of unviolated Conscience; of Personal Liberty; have not all these flowed from its administration?
What reasonable man, not actuated by ambitious designs, or urged on to unlawful pursuits, can deny to the American Government the tribute of praise and gratitude. What prudent man is there, who will not, with his advice and his vote, endeavor to preserve it as it is?
But to guard it from its enemies, and to preserve it as it is, we must, we ought, fellow-citizens, to confide its management to those who, like ourselves, approve and respect it.
If from indolence, or untimely concessions the public councils are transferred to other hands, there is an end of our security--perhaps an end of the government itself!
It is on our public elections that every thing depends.
If we are careful to select men of right principles, and unite in supporting them with our suffrages, we may fear no danger, but rise up and lie down in security.
And, of all the public agents, those should be selected with the greatest care, who are to represent the people in the National Legislature.
Impressed with this conviction, and feeling the importance of union and exertion, at this crisis, a great number of citizens from every part of the State, respectable for their integrity and their talents, have recommended to our choice the gentlemen named by them in the prefixed resolutions.
And we were requested to address to our fellow-citizens such reasons, as might tend to concentrate their opinions and efforts in favor of that ticket.
With this view, we have laid before you the preceding remarks: And conceiving it as a duty we owe to ourselves; to our families; to our country, and to posterity, to maintain the government, through the peaceful medium of private suffrage, we invite you, by these common obligations, to partake in this necessary, this lawful, and honorable privilege.
It is necessary, and at all times laudable, that we render this service to ourselves and country; but never more necessary than on this occasion.
Such is the state of the nation; such has been the progress of events, that the choice of Federal Representatives in this State, may save the country from divided councils; or, form a barrier against the encroachments of a too successful faction.
The propriety, fellow citizens, of uniting not only in our exertions, but our choice, is evident. The opposers of the federal government, though defeated in the late attempt to bring in Mr. Jefferson as President, will now endeavor to repair their miscarriage.
They will pursue their constant maxims of calumniating the government; of disparaging its measures; of deriding its friends; of crying up their republicanism, and flattering the people with professions of purity, and promises of reform: But, above all, they will unite.
Fellow-citizens, in this one thing it will be for our interest and honor to imitate them. After the high recommendation, contained in the resolutions of the meeting at the State-House on the 13th instant, it is the less necessary for us to speak of the candidates proposed for the federal ticket.
Most of them have borne a part in the establishment of our independence; all of them have passed through the most important public offices; and all of them stand deservedly high in the confidence of their countrymen.
They are truly attached to the federal government; and possess talents fitted to maintain the dignity and interest of the State they may represent.
We trust that, with these qualifications, and carrying with them the favorable sentiments of so many respectable men, they will be acceptable to the friends of government in every part of the State.
But should it happen that any of our fellow-citizens, from defect of information in regard to the characters who compose it, or some preference for others, might hesitate to suppose this ticket, we beg them to consider, that, in a case of this kind, it is not possible to reconcile every local partiality, and conform to every individual inclination; to reflect, also, that, by dividing our suffrage, or dropping any of these candidates, we must inevitably fail in the great object of a full federal representation.
To these observations, dictated from a sense of duty, and under the most solemn conviction that the times require the union and the exertions of every friend to his country, we add our earnest exhortation, to every individual citizen, to act as if the success of the federal ticket depended on his own vote--equally interested in the common welfare, it is but just, that we should lend our aid to the common means, for ensuring its continuance. And if from indolence, indifference, or some trifling oblation, we take no part in the choice of our public agents, we shall be justly chargeable for the calamities, which may follow from the omission.

The Answer of the House of Representatives to the Governor's Speech.
HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES GARRARD, Esq. GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY.
SIR, Individually, and as the representatives of the people of Kentucky, we are pleased to receive your address of zeal to discharge the duties incumbent on you. We entertain no doubt of your integrity or of your intentions to promote the general welfare.
We sincerely join with you in the warmest expressions of gratitude to the great giver of all goodness for that portion of liberty, ease and prosperity which we enjoy yet we cannot help but regret with you the very reduced state of our finances, and the other inconveniences which you have laid before us.
We can only say, that our exertions shall be to promote whatever may have a tendency to advance and secure the interests of our fellow citizens, and to lessen (if not remove) the evils which attend.
We are unable to say how far our aid will be necessary to carry into effect special laws of the last session, which required the attention of the executive; inasmuch as we are not yet advised how far they have been acted upon, or what circumstances have impeded the completion thereof.
We conclude with hoping that the united efforts of the executive and legislative powers of this state will be to promote manufactures and agriculture in our Commonwealth, and that such endeavors will meet the reward which our warmest wishes shall contemplate.

From the Boston Mercury.
I failed from Boston in the Schooner Nancy, belonging to Leach and Watson of Boston, on the 18th of August last, and in 16 days was taken by a French privateer Schooner, of 12 guns and 80 men, and carried into St. Johns, Porto Rico, where I found the following American vessels, which has been captured, viz. Sch. Lark, Randall, from St. Vincents for New York, Hannah, Digton, from do. for Kennebec; sloop Hercules, Tolman, Anguilla, for Wilmington; Schooner John, Bayton, Norfolk to St. Thomas; brig Juno, Vincent, Philadelphia to Jamaica; Schooner Favourite Alice, McConnel, Norfolk to Jamaica; sloop Hiram, Wilson, New York to St. Thomas, and a Wilmington brig. I think it my duty, in behalf of the above mentioned masters and myself, to proclaim to the world the villainous treatment received from the captors, they being stripped of their goods and turned on shore penniless, and but for the humanity of the Spanish government, who obliges the captors or their agents to furnish the masters with a bare support, might have been reduced to have begged their bread. There was a Frenchman there, whom foreigners called a consul, but the Spanish government had not acknowledged him as such, and he was only permitted to act as receiver of plundered or stolen goods, in behalf of his countrymen. An American brig called the Polly, said to be from New York, bound to Jamaica, brought in here, and purchased by a Frenchman called Cartang. Said brig is bound to New York or Philadelphia, and commanded by Thomas Randall, mentioned in the foregoing list, and is supposed to be covered as American property by him. The collectors will do well to watch the arrival of the aforementioned brig, as she will be in America about this time. W. Alhearn.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette.
On the insolent letter of Judge Brackenridge, to Judge Addison, (published in last Friday's gazette) the following remarks are made in the Pittsburgh gazette.
Mr. Brackenridge it seems never heard of any arts in the election of Governor. Honest man! But let him not be alarmed, they are not imputed to him. His arts lay the other way, to trim between the two candidates, pretend neutrality, do things on both sides, that whichever succeeded he might claim the merit, and the reward. No body expects truth from him. He knows that such arts did exist, but that they are not flattered to affect the people this side of the mountains. For the people on this side of the mountains did not elect Gov. McKean. And least of all would they apply to the people of Alleghany or Crawford county in which there was so great a majority against him. Nothing unfavourable to the people of these counties could be meant and nothing unfavourable to the character and administration of the Governor, which must speak for itself. And nothing but the malice of Brackenridge, the reeling of intoxication and the raving of insanity could suggest such things.
Mr. SCULL. The letter of Judge Brackenridge to Mr. Addison printed in the Tree of Liberty last week, is more censurable and more alarming than any publication which has ever appeared in an American newspaper. A Judge of the Supreme Court openly invites the people to outrage, riot, and insurrection against the judiciary authority of the state. He tells the turbulent, the guilty, the desperate, the seditious, that Judge Addison ought to have been dragged from the Bench and sacrificed on the spot!!! And he seems to lament the passive resistance of the people as bordering upon servility, because they refrained from insulting a Judge sitting in the sacred seat of Justice! When passion displaces reason and assumes her station; when the arbitrary appointed to decide the fate of criminals, comes forward, stimulates to the perpetration of the most horrid crimes; what confidence? What security? What hope have the people left! If vindictive deadly rancour can so far overpower and destroy the public character of a Judge, that he calls in a mob to avenge his silly quarrels with a brother judge; in what condition are private citizens who have incurred the displeasure of a magistrate so frantic? In what way can his private enemies be safe, or his guilty friends be brought to justice? Suppose the bloody deed done;—and Judge Brackenridge ascending the judgment seat to pass upon the life and death of the assassins. How will he demean himself when the criminals are arraigned before him and produce his own letter signed with his name as a justification of the murderer? If the mob should abstain from shedding blood, and content themselves with the destruction of property, during the persons, and the exile of his personal enemies, will the Judge venture to inflict sentence of forfeiture, compensation, fine, imprisonment or dungeon upon those who have risen to assist in ridding him of sneering neighbours, feared rivals, or hated superiors? Hated because really superior in worth and estimation!!!
Were he in a moment of returning virtue to hazard an attempt at punishment, he might fairly expect that his deluded indignant followers would perceive his sudden change of shape, and hunt him down Actaeon like with his own bloodhounds! In this wicked letter Judge Brackenridge affects great respect and zeal for the character of Governor McKean and artfully endeavours to excite his friends against Mr. Addison. This respect and zeal is of late but rapid growth. But a few weeks before the Governor's election, Mr. Brackenridge publicly declared that McKean was a weak, silly old man; a slave to his passions, would be governed by those who flattered him most, & the state might as well be governed by any old woman. He particularly mentioned Tench Coxe as a sycophant, destitute of all moral principle, and an old story that joined the British, who was likely to become McKean's greatest favourite, and that this was enough to damn any man's election. These declarations were not confidential but in the open street in the presence of several gentlemen now living in town who well remember all here stated and more; yet now this same Governor who has made him a Judge is bepraised by Mr. Brackenridge with a view of enlisting him & his friends through the state in the private grudge against Judge Addison, who in his anathematized charge has not said a word disrespectful of the Governor personally.
These arts of Judge Brackenridge will not serve his purpose. The real tendency of his letter will be discerned and abhorred by all parties. It presents so frightful a picture of the heart which dictated it, that
for the honour of human nature, it is hoped that few will be hardly enough to defend or excuse it, and if the Legislature do their duty they will put it in the power of the Governor to dismiss Mr. Brackenridge from all further authority in the courts. The appointment was certainly made without due consideration, and there is now an unequivocal evidence that it never ought to have been made. It is now demonstrated that not only the head is uniformed with poison, but the heart is envenomed with a poison which must pollute the pure current of Justice and mortal if it enter into the judiciary system of our State.

The ship Mount Vernon, Neil, of Salem was lost on the 17th of October, on a reef of rocks, off the island of Little Davis, about 3 leagues N. and W. of La Guayra, with a train of powder, and a valuable cargo. Captain Neil, and twelve hands, with the long boat and sails, proceeded to the long boat to Vienna, where they undoubtedly arrived in a few hours. The chief mate and the rest of the crew were received on board a Bermudian privateer, commanded by Captain Robinson, and landed at St. Thomas, except the mate. Captain R. rendered every possible assistance in preserving the property, and rendering more comfortable the situation of these shipwrecked mariners. Five days after sailing from Salem, outward bound, the Mount Vernon picked up the wreck of a boat, with four men in her, where they had been five days. They belonged to a Philadelphia brig from Lisbon. The remainder of the crew and passengers, including a man, his wife and two children were probably lost.
Schooner Nancy, Beckman, of Prospect, from Passamaquoddy for Newburyport, was lost on the 10th ult. near Machias.
20 Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the frigate Constellation, Captain Murray, at Marcus Hook, a man named WILLIAM WILLIAMS, but better known by the name of JOHN TOWN. He was fitted to the marines on board said ship, about 22 years of age, 5 feet, 7 or 8 inches high, a light complexion, full faced and bare, open countenance, stout made, his hair in a short queue. Had on when he went away, a blue olive green jacket, and pantaloons, the colour of which is not recollected. Having been accustomed to the sea, it is probable he has entered, and failed, on board some merchant ship. Ten Dollars will be given, for certain information, what vessel he has failed on board of, or the above reward and reasonable expenses, for securing him, in any part of the United States, and giving immediate information thereof, to RICHARD CREAN, Esquire, of Baltimore, James Seton, Esq. of New-York, or to the subscribers in Philadelphia.
