From the Vermont Journal.
Mr. ELLIOT to his CONSTITUENTS. LETTER X.
I AM accused of abandoning the principles of liberty, and of joining in a plot for the division of the Union. The charges are false, and the authors of them know them to be false.
Who are the real friends of liberty, of genuine regulated liberty? Is the frantic revolutionist a more rational friend of freedom than the sullen monarchist? Is the man who advocates peace and union to be considered as a disorganizer? But it is said that the federalists are monarchists and that the principles of republicanism and monarchy can no more be united, than oil and water can be mingled, or than the glare of day and gloom of night can be amalgamated. A few years since my constituents were also profess-
ed federalists; I was myself a member of the little band who opposed in this district the administration of Mr. Adams. Should I dare to ask my constituents, were you, in 1798 when you supported the federal candidates and federal measures, enemies to the rights of man, enemies to your own rights? They would instantly answer with indignation, No, we have always been republicans. It is then more than common charity to conclude that the immense majority of those who still profess the principles of federalism are also republicans? Among the many thousands who have left the federal standard, how many have told us they had been concerned in a plot for the destruction of liberty? Not one. Monarchical principles are confined to a few individuals in our country, and among those individuals may be placed some of our most ardent republicans!
It is said that the idea of a union of the people of the northern states in one great political interest must produce a division of the union: and those who say this look with perfect complacency upon that gigantic mass of influence which a similar union in the southern states has already created. In other words to preserve the union, the southern states must be united as one man, and the northern must be divided and distracted. Miserable sophism! Absurd and foolish dogma! Let me here repeat that a perfect union among ourselves would induce us to demand no more than our due share of political weight, which would then be yielded to us, and the union would be preserved, and even rendered more secure.
Various are the opinions of men of reflection in relation to the probable effects of the acquisition of Louisiana. Upon no subject have I found it more difficult to form an opinion for myself. Some believe that a commercial connection will take place between the eastern and western states, that the people of New-England will carry to those of the Mississippi the productions of all other parts of the world, and export for them their own productions; and that this commercial connection will produce a political one, favorable to us and unfavorable to the southern states. Others argue that the inhabitants of the west will be a ship building and agricultural people; and their vicinity to the West-India markets will enable them to supercede us in some of the most profitable branches of our commerce; and that the idea of a political connection with them though splendid is perfectly delusive. The prospect indeed is very gloomy. But putting Louisiana out of the question, the number of representatives in congress to which the southern states are entitled, on account of their slaves, must forever secure them a majority in the councils of the Union. The slaves are not represented, but three fifths of their number added to the number of free persons, and this determines the number of representatives from the state. Were the slaves made free, we could not refuse, upon our own principles, to allow them representatives; but deprived as they are of all civil rights, and considered merely as property, it would be as just that the Vermont farmer should be entitled to a representation for his cattle, as the Virginian planter for his negroes. No northern man who has caught a single spark of freedom's flame from the altar of patriotism, but must wish that these things were not so. Such, however is the constitution of our country, that sacred instrument, which I hope never to see violated in any of its essential principles; and as it is not to be expected that the people of the southern states will ever agree to an alteration fraught with ruin to their interests, it is to be hoped that the subject will not again be agitated.
We are continually told that there is no dissimilarity of interests between the people of the northern and those of the southern states. When we prove that clashing interests do exist, we are lulled to sleep by siren songs and melodious eulogies on southern magnanimity. We are told that our southern brethren will take better care of us than we can take of ourselves. On this subject, the contempt with which northern representatives are treated, the trifling attention paid to any measures which they propose, the attempt to extinguish the state balance-

tes, to abolish the loan-offices, and to reject the Georgia claims, the additional duties upon commerce, the late alteration of the constitution, and the other alterations which are contemplated, speak a language more expressive than all the thunders of eloquence. As the dernier resort of the alarmists, we are told that the immortal Washington cautioned the people against those who should attempt to create geographical parties. He did so. He had in view the great and general interests of the nation, the constitution itself, and not those minor interests which exist in the very nature of things; for, in the high character of President of the national convention, he had before told us that "the constitution is the result of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable." If, however, the sagacious mind of Washington did not anticipate the present state of things, that circumstance can form no argument against our accommodating our conduct to the events and prospect of the times.
It cannot be too often repeated that "man is man." Did the northern states possess power, their political system would probably be analogous to that which now governs the southern. But power is now departed from us; and I hope that we shall never attempt to regain it by any other means. The editor of the principal paper published at the seat of government, an honest and candid man, has not been able to conceal his exultation at the prospect of northern humiliation. Admitting that the northern states no longer possess political weight, he asks, with an air of triumph, "And why does the south rule the north? Because the south is united and the north is divided. I have just said the same myself. The north gives up and the south keeps not back. There are men who are less honest on this subject than the editor of the National Intelligencer. I am assured from unquestionable authority, that it is part of the system of some young and ambitious politicians of the south, to add fuel to the flame of party spirit in the north, that they may divide and govern us, as the Romans divided and governed the Greeks."
It may be arrogant in me to declare that the opinions which I now avow will one day command the universal assent of the people in the northern quarter of the Union; But as I always make it a point to say what I think, I shall hazard the assertion.
If at a future day new parties should arise in our country, and we should be divided into northern men and southern men, instead of federalists and democrats, would any one doubt the propriety and patriotism of supporting the northern interest in all its constitutional and reasonable rights? Should we be divided into large state and small state parties, would it be contended that the people of the north ought not to embrace the interest of the small states? Vermont, New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island and Connecticut, by an irrevocable law of nature, must always be small states. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, though now small will very soon be in the first class of large states. Hence the absurdity of the triumph of the friends of the late amendment of the constitution, upon its unanimous adoption by the small states of the south and west. Should we be divided into a constitutional and an anti-constitutional party, would any one censure a "union of honest men," for the purpose of preserving the constitution? As well might it be contended that men of different political parties ought not to unite, to stop the progress of a destructive fire or inundation, or to repulse an invading enemy! And it requires no prophetic powers to predict the existence of all these different parties in our country, in a greater or less degree, within the course of a few years.
Few individuals of the republican party suffered more, in their feelings, at least, from federal persecution, than myself. I am willing, however, to sacrifice even my just resentment upon the altar of my country. But I will never sacrifice my principles. Some of those who declaim the most violently against me at this moment, were federalists while federalism was fashionable. My constituents will remember that important fact when they hear the future declamations of those gentlemen. Others have changed. I remain unaltered. I repeat it, I advocate the northern union with a view to the preservation instead of the destruction of the constitution. And I advocate it upon republican principles alone. I will oppose it whenever it is attempted to be established upon principles favorable to aristocracy or monarchy.
JAMES ELLIOT.
LETTER XI.—AND LAST. I HAVE explained my congressional conduct to the satisfaction, I presume, of every candid man in the district. In imitation of certain characters, whose steps I am proud to follow, I shall now present my constituents with my general political creed; and they will then determine whether I am an apostate or a republican of unswerved principles.
With the venerable subscribers of the declaration of independence, I "hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that amongst these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just right from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government." Although I have been from my earliest infancy a firm believer in the Christian religion, yet I detest the idea of a religion established by law, and cordially subscribe to the sentiments expressed upon this subject, in the declaration of the rights of the people of this state. I believe the republican system of government to be the best that has ever existed in the world, and the constitution of the U. States to be the best of all republican systems hitherto. I believe that the immense territory and heterogeneous population of the United States cannot be preserved in a state of union under a system less energetic than the present constitution; it would be dangerous to make it more democratic, and I hope that it will never be necessary to make it more aristocratic. I believe that Washington was the greatest warrior and probably the most correct statesman in our country.
I believe Adams to be a man of integrity and talents but that the general system of his administration was wrong. I believe that Jefferson is a man of great abilities, and a sincere friend to a republican form of government, and I shall support his administration, and that of every future president during my life, and the constitutional authorities generally, so far as in my conscience I shall deem their measures calculated to preserve the constitution and the rights of the people. I believe we ought to have no political idols, and that every man ought to be at liberty to express his sentiments in a decent manner respecting the measures of government. I believe that some of the large states possess too great a degree of influence at the present moment, and that the small states ought to guard their rights with jealous vigilance. I believe that the doctrines preached by certain republicans of distinction, that men should adhere to their party in defiance of their God, and that no regard should be paid to the private characters of candidates for office are equally immoral and anti-republican, and destructive of religious as well as of correct political principles; and sooner than embrace such detestable dogmas, I will abandon society, and wander in the darkest wild of solitude. I believe that the preservation of republican principles in the United States is inseparably connected with the exertions and talents of wise and good men, and not with the meanness of office hunters and the madness of enthusiasts. I believe that the American people are possessed of sufficient wisdom and virtue to support a republican government, and I wish for the freedom and happiness of mankind universally.
It appears to me that this cannot be called the creed of an aristocrat or demagogue; it is that of an inflexible and constitutional republican. Such as it is, it will guide and govern my conduct in every future moment of my life. I shall strive to be honest, not enthusiastic, independent not clamorous. But I shall always be in some degree emulous of a particular trait in the character of Agricola, as described by Tacitus. "Scorning to disguise his sentiments, he always acted with a generous warmth at the hazard of making enemies."
I shall conclude with a quotation from a speech to the electors of Bristol, England, by Edmund Burke, whose talents will always be the subject of admiration, as his political apostasy will be of regret.
"And now, gentlemen, on this serious day, when I come as it were to make up my account with you; let me take to myself some degree of honest pride on the nature of the charges brought against me. I do not here stand accused of venality or neglect of duty. It is not said that, in the period of my service, I have, in a single instance, sacrificed the slightest of your interests to my ambition or
my fortune. It is not alleged, that, to gratify any anger or revenge of my own, or of my party, I have had a share in wronging or oppressing any one man of any description;—No; the charges against me are all of one kind, that I have pushed the general principles of general justice and benevolence too far, farther than a cautious policy would warrant; and farther than the opinions of many would go with me. In every accident which may happen through life, in pain, in sorrow, in depression and distress, I will think of this accusation and be comforted."
JAMES ELLIOT.
LONDON, May 12.
We have received a letter from a respectable mercantile house at Genoa, which states that the fate of that capital is decided, it being generally understood that it is to form a part of the new kingdom of Italy. The French military force in that country is estimated at upwards of 100,000 men, which is intended partly to frustrate any possibility of hostile enterprizes, and partly to determine the frontiers of the new empire. It is certain that on the 15th of February, orders had been sent on from Paris to act offensively, on the Adige, if any extraordinary movement should be perceived amongst the Austrian troops in that vicinity.
Yesterday we received a letter from Constantinople, brought by a gentleman who travelled overland to Embden with dispatches for government, in which we are assured that the difference between France and the Port are still far from adjustment. In the beginning of last month a plan of operations to defeat an expected invasion on the part of the French, was presented to the Divan by the Russian ambassador. The Russian armaments in the ports of the Black Sea are carried on with the utmost activity and a vast number of transports have been collected there for the purpose of embarking troops.
The last dispatches received by government from the continent are said to intimate decisively, that the Russians are not to take the field this season, unless Bonaparte should cause an attack to be made upon Naples, the Seven Islands, or any of the dominions of Turkey. We have, nevertheless, the best private authority for stating, that a material coolness subsists between the courts of Vienna and Petersburg towards that of the Thuilleries. An approximation between the first mentioned courts is the general subject of conversation; and, with this view, Diplomatic Agents have been respectively sent with propositions on the subject.
Admiral Cornwallis is expected to resume the command of the channel fleet immediately: It is impossible to discharge Lord Gardner—but if there is an election to be made, no man can conceive himself neglected in its falling on Cornwallis.
NATCHES, May 17.
ROBERT WILLIAMS, Esq. Was inducted into office as governor of this territory, on Monday last, the 13th inst. at the town of Washington.
The oath of office was administered by the Hon. Judge Rodney, in presence of a number of respectable citizens, who attended on the occasion; previous to the oath, his excellency delivered a concise and impressive address.
NEW-YORK, June 24.
We have nothing new by the ship of Thursday from Guadalupe, except, that it is stated by the French passengers in her, that the combined fleets at Martinique remained in a state of inactivity—and that the French government have sent out this naval force without even trusting the commander in chief with the secret of their ultimate destination. When they sailed from Toulon their orders were to proceed to Cadiz—when they arrived, an enclosure was opened containing instructions to proceed to Martinique and so on; so that the Admiral of the squadron himself, does not know where he is going after he leaves Martinique, till he reaches the place at which he is ordered.
The following men of war (it is said) sailed from England about the 7th of May for the West-Indies, accompanied by a number of Frigates and Transports, having on board 8000 Troops, under the command of Gen. Sir Eyre Coote.
  Dreadnought 98 guns  {Vice Adm. Col. Lingwood, Capt. Rotherham.    Foudroyant 98  {Rear Ad. Sir T. Graves, — Capt. Todd.

June 29.
The ship Mississippi, captain Skidmore, arrived at this port last evening, in 30 days from Nantes, having on board his excellency R. R. Livingston, (late minister of the United States to the French Government) his lady and suite. The vessel left Nantes on the 27th of May. Our Paris papers by her are to the 20th inclusive, and would have furnished some interesting intelligence had not the most important part of their contents been anticipated by late arrivals from London and Liverpool.
We learn verbally, and by the papers in our possession, that Bonaparte arrived at Milan on the 8th May, for the purpose of being crowned King of Italy, and would pass through Brussels on his return; that the Brest fleet had not sailed; that the existence of a treaty between Russia and Great Britain was not known in France: and that no new movements of consequence had taken place in Europe.
Madame Jerome Bonaparte had arrived at Amsterdam, but was not permitted to land, and the ship was ordered to sail immediately, destination not known.
Mr. Livingston is the bearer of bills drawn by the American Minister at Paris on the treasury of the United States under the treaty of Louisiana; and it is supposed that all the creditors under that treaty will receive their bills in the course of the summer.
The Mississippi has on board about 150,000 francs, in bills on the French treasury, for the relief of distressed Frenchmen in America.
In the suite of the American Minister are Mr. Peter R. Livingston, and Mr. King, son of the Hon. Rufus King.

Nelson's Fleet —The following paragraphs afford some reason to hope that Lord Nelson has actually arrived in the West-Indies.
BOSTON, June 28.
Capt. Hall, who arrived yesterday from the Mediterranean, came through the Straits of Gibraltar on the 6th of May, with Lord Nelson's Fleet of 15 sail of the line, and parted off Cape St. Vincent's on the 9th of May. It was reported at Malaga, by the captain of a Danish vessel, that off Sicily, he had been boarded by two Tripoline Corsairs; but it was not much credited; and no such news had reached Alicante or Gibraltar.
The above account of Lord Nelson's fleet (which may be depended on) does not agree with the report of its being spoken; but the intelligence of its arrival at Barbadoes, about the 1st of June, may be correct.
CHARLESTON, June 20.
The British ships Jack Park, and Nanna, from the Coast of Africa, via Surrinam, anchored at Quarantine yesterday. The above ships sailed from Surrinam 20 days since—one degree to the windward of Barbadoes, they fell in with the British Mediterranean fleet, under Lord Nelson, consisting of 11 ships of the line and one frigate, in pursuit of the French and Spanish squadron: They were informed that another British squadron of 12 ships of the line, were expected to follow Lord Nelson immediately.
Extract of a letter from St. Thomas received per the Mary, Monteath, dated June 10.
"From appearances there must be a considerable change of property in these islands. The French have 30 sail of the line and 10 frigates at Martinique. The British (it is said and believed) have 21 sail of the line at Barbadoes. The French Admiral has demanded the surrender of all the English islands in due form. If the British fleet has arrived, the answer will no doubt be a noisy one."
Extract of a letter from London, dated May 10.
"I heard it this morning at one of the public offices, that government, having strong reasons to suspect that after Bonaparte shall have returned from Italy,

the long meditated design to invade some part of his majesty's dominions will be attempted; every exertion is making at the out-posts, and in the king's yards to fit out and man armed vessels of every description. A hot press began on Monday, and still continues. It is imagined that the combined fleets will cruise on the West-India station to draw off Admiral Gardner from before Brest; and that in the event of a general junction of the French fleets, a grand attack on England or Ireland will be the consequence. "A levy en masse is expected to take place. The city light horse are out this morning. The infantry volunteers are also assembling in their respective districts. Every thing proclaims that events of importance to the safety of the country, are at hand. God grant us a good deliverance!"
July 5.
French and Spanish Fleet. —Capt. Knight, of the ship Mary, arrived here yesterday in 12 days from Antigua, informs us, that the combined French and Spanish Fleet, amounting in all to 30 sail, passed there the 8th of June, with 16 English homeward bound merchantmen, which they had fallen in with under convoy of a sloop of war and captured. The sloop of war by superior sailing made her escape and got into Antigua. On the 14th Lord Nelson, with 12 sail of the line, touched at Antigua, and after being informed of the course the combined fleet steered, immediately went in pursuit of them. Since then, (about the 20th June) they have been spoken two degrees to the southward of Bermuda and ten degrees to the northward of the northernmost West-India Islands steering N. E.—Therefore the most probable conjecture is they have gone home.
BALTIMORE, July 1.
Capt. Haylauder, from Martin (Mart.) informs that the whole of the combined fleet sailed from Martinique on the 6th ult. except two 80 gun ships and a frigate, just arrived from France—On the 18th capt. H. passed Antigua, and saw a large fleet, in the dusk of the evening, off the harbour of St. John's standing off, and apparently making observations, which he believes was the French fleet, as the number corresponded, and they all appeared to be large ships—The probability was, that they had only arrived there that day, after taking in at Guadalupe such particulars as they had occasion for—The general opinion at Martinique was, that the taking of Antigua would be their first object—Previous to their leaving Martinique three 74's were sent against Diamond Rock, garrisoned by 117 British troops, who made little resistance and capitulated after a siege of four days—the garrison were sent to Barbadoes in a cartel—The French frigate which arrived last from France brought dispatches in 27 days from L'Orient, but nothing of their contents transpired—it was the report of the day, that the two French commanders of the army and navy did not perfectly agree, which was a principal cause for their stay so long at Martinique—it was also reported that Bonaparte, to deceive Lord Nelson, had a number of letters written by the relations of the officers of the Toulon fleet, wishing them success in their expedition against Egypt, which letters had been put on board of fast sailing luggers, which were to throw themselves in the way of Nelson's cruisers, in order to lead them astray, and which was supposed to have had the desired effect, as no account had reached Martinique on the 11th of any English fleet arriving in those seas—It was said that the French fleet were in want of many things—their arsenals then being totally unprovided, their main object was to get possession of some of the English arsenals, to which they might have recourse in case of any accident happening their vessels—the number of troops on board was 10,000—He heard nothing of the sickly state of the Spanish fleet as heretofore reported.
MARIETTA, June 6.
The following melancholy occurrence took place a few days since, on the bank of the River Ohio, near the mouth of Big Sandy creek, in Kanawha County.
The son of Dr. Hampton had married (not long since) the daughter of Col. Sotridge, and had taken her to reside with him at his father's house. Col. Sotridge having been informed that Dr. Hampton had misused his daughter, had threatened to chastise him in case he did not change his conduct. It happened that they met on Sunday at the usual place of assembling on that day for public worship; after divine service was ended,
Col. Sotridge concluded to call on his daughter, whom he had not seen for some time, and was walking up a short lane, which led from the river to Dr. Hampton's house; when he was within thirty yards of the door, Dr. Hampton stepped out with his rifle and said to Col. Sotridge, you are near enough, and immediately discharged it at him; the bullet went through the body of Col. Sotridge, who expired about two hours after.—The distress of the son and daughter cannot be described. The daughter beheld her murdered father bleeding and breathing his last, while the husband unable to console her, had a still more distressing scene to witness—a father and a murderer, bound before his eyes and dragged to prison, in all probability to end his life on a gallows.
Col. Sotridge declared previous to his death that he had no intention of injuring Dr. Hampton.
BOSTON, June 27.
LATE FROM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the ship Minerva, capt. Eastman, in 43 days from Greenock, we have a few additional articles of London news to the 14th May.
GREENOCK, May 15.
The Star of yesterday states, that "on Thursday about 3 o'clock, a special messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's office with the treaty that had been so long negotiating with the Court of Russia, sealed and signed in due form. This treaty is offensive and defensive, and some of the northern powers either are, or soon will be, parties to it. Count Woronzow, the Russian ambassador at this Court, also received dispatches on Thursday, brought by a Russian courier, of the same nature as those alluded to above." It is certainly very remarkable that this most interesting intelligence, though said to have reached London on Thursday, does not appear in any of the prints until Saturday, and then only in the Star. Our readers will observe too, that the prices of stocks remain unaffected.
Advises were received at the Admiralty from Lord Gardner on Thursday. The fleet under his lordship amounted to 28 line of battle ships, besides frigates, &c. while that of the enemy were supposed to be from 21 to 25 sail of the line. They were however at single anchor, and completely ready for sea.
Nothing is yet certainly known with regard to the combined hostile squadrons. Those who have the best means of information, seem to have no doubt that Nelson has passed the straits in pursuit of them; they will also be eagerly sought by 12 sail of the line under Admiral Collingwood, which have been ordered on that business from the channel fleet.
Ten more ships of the line are now fitting for sea with the utmost dispatch; and the present embargo will probably continue, until a sufficient number of seamen be procured for them.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
It is said that Capt. Tingey has received orders immediately to fit out the frigate Adams, now lying at the city of Washington, and to repair to Charleston for the purpose of protecting that harbour from the marauders which infest it.
Capt. Douglass, of the New-York, was informed by the commander of one of the Guineamen which he spoke, that they fell in with ten sail of Lord Nelson's fleet, four leagues from Barbadoes.
MARTINSBURG, July 12.
Pursuant to the sentence of the Court of Berkeley County, some time since passed on Negroes Jack and Jerry, for the robbery of David Horn, they were executed on the commons of this place on Friday last. During their confinement in prison, they were visited by several Divines of different religious persuasions, by some of whom they were attended to the gallows—They uniformly, while in jail, denied having committed the crime for which they were condemned, although they confessed many trivial offences, and appeared sincerely penitent, and were constantly for the last week of their confinement, earnestly engaged in prayer, night and day.—A short time before they were turned off, Jerry got up, and in a remarkably firm manner addressed himself to the surrounding multitude; and here again he protested that he was innocent of the crime for which he was about to suffer; he solemnly declared that he had never seen Mr. Horn, his accuser, until the day after the robbery was committed,
the time on which he was arrested; he made a short prayer for the welfare of the surrounding spectators, desiring them not to be sorry for him, but for themselves; he said, though falsely charged by Mr. Horn, he forgave him, and prayed that his God would also forgive him, and hoped, if he had lost money, that it might be again recovered: He had constantly the most complacent countenance, and smiled with affability on those who bade him adieu. When told by one of the preachers who attended him that he had yet half an hour to live, he replied he did not wish the execution delayed, he was then ready to meet death; and the last words he was heard to utter, were "thank my Jesus I am coming." The whole of his conduct was marked with the greatest fortitude and resignation, and made him rather appear to exult than tremble at the approach of death. His unfortunate fellow sufferer (though he had also repeatedly while in jail denied the accusation against him) when under the gallows, said nothing of his guilt or innocence; he met his fate with less fortitude than Jerry, and his last moments appeared to be filled with horror. The denial by Jerry, and his great firmness, together with his apparent penitence, has occasioned doubts in the minds of many as to their guilt, notwithstanding the evidence against them was the most pointed, and corroborated by circumstances the most conclusive.
SHEPHERD'S-TOWN, July 4.
AT this place the day was ushered in by firing of cannon. At 11 o'clock, on the firing of a signal gun, the Volunteer Company commanded by Captain Stephenson, paraded, and accompanied by a large number of the citizens of the place and neighbourhood, repaired to Col. Swearingen's Spring, on the bank of the Potomac; on arriving there they were saluted by a discharge from a field piece under the command of Captain Henry, which salute was returned by Captain Stephenson's Company. Then the subjoined Toasts were given, each accompanied by a discharge from the field piece commanded by Captain Henry, and by platoon firing from Captain Stephenson's Company. After which (about 3 o'clock) the whole company sat down to a handsome barbecue which had been prepared for the occasion. At 4 o'clock, on the firing of a signal gun, the company in regular order, preceded by the Volunteers, left the Spring and marched to Town, on their departure they received a salute from Captain Henry.—The greatest harmony and good order were preserved throughout the day, and a spirit of concord, friendship and hilarity universally prevailed, much to be desired on all occasions, but very seldom observed to exist in so large an assembly of persons of different politics, on a political day.
THE TOASTS.
1. The day we celebrate. 2. The people of the United States. 3. The constitution of the United States. 4. The president. 5. The Congress of the United States. 6. The memory of the illustrious Washington. 7. The memory of those American heroes who fell in defence of the liberties of their country. 8. Unanimity in correct opinions. 9. Religion, virtue, and industry—the only pillars by which free governments can be supported. 10. The happiness and liberty of man. 11. The gallant officers and seamen in the American navy. 12. Agriculture. 13. Commerce and manufactures. 14. The internal navigation of our country. 15. The arts and sciences. 16. National honour and public faith. 17. The American fair.
VOLUNTEERS.
By Captain Henry, May the American flag wave triumphant in every sea.
By Captain Stephenson, May the spirit of '76 animate the breasts of the soldiers of 1805.
American Naval News.—It appears that the British have recaptured from the Spanish the store ship, which government had dispatched on the way to our fleet in the Mediterranean.
It appears that the cargo of the merchant ship lately taken by a French privateer off Charleston bar, was worth 500,000 dollars, and that the amount of duties on that sum would have more than built an armed vessel of force sufficient to have protected her from this
most lawless and insulting outrage.
It appears, that the President's gun boats are yet too much in infancy to do any service, but if their size should grow with their age, it is hoped they may yet live to take the form of frigates.—Meanwhile Mr. Jefferson is a guardian proper enough. [Fred. T. Herald]
From the Albany Gazette,
Method of administering the Poligala Senega (Seneca Snake Root) for the cure of the Croup or Hives (Synanche Trachealis.)
Take half an ounce of Seneca snake root bruised in a mortar, put it in a tea pot & add half a pint of water, let it simmer gently by the fire until it is reduced to half the quantity. A small teaspoon full of this to be given every hour, and during the intervals give frequently a few drops at a time until it vomits or purges; after that administer only five or six drops every few minutes to keep up a constant stimulus in the mouth and throat.
The efficacy of this medicine in the croup was but lately discovered in the southern states where this complaint prevails much. It generally relieves or cures in a few hours. It operates by stimulating the throat and fauces, thus contributing to loosen and throw off the inflammatory crust in the windpipe, which is the seat of the disease. But its success depends essentially on the mode of administering it; the above method should therefore be exactly pursued. It has recently been administered in cases of inflammatory sore throat, with the happiest effect. It is advisable in cases of administering new medicines, but especially the Seneca snake root, to consult a physician, and strictly to pursue his directions in administering it to the patient.
Beware of Indolence.
An indolent habit will often effectually prevent a man from entering upon his business with spirit. Such a character will linger, and hesitate, and look about him, till he scarcely has time to do what necessity requires of him. He has no leisure, and very often no disposition to do any thing else that might be useful. Act always according to some regular plan.
He who runs at random, or leaves his conduct entirely to the chance of the moment, will sometimes scarcely know whether he is in the beginning, or the middle, or at the end of the business.
Some people seem always busy, always in a hurry; and yet they never do much, for want of a proper arrangement of their business.
A WOMAN's dress, like her reputation, should be pure and unspotted. Neatness in attire is a most powerful attraction: It in some measure compensates for the want of beauty; and where the personal charms are numerous, it gives them a double lustre. Nor is the quality less propitious to health than to fortune and love. A perpetual attention to the minutiae of cleanliness is deemed a most sovereign preservative against all diseases, endemic, as well as constitutional; while dirty finery creates a waste of expense, and never fails to disgust, and sometimes to injure.
