WILLIAM B. KING. Mill-Creek, June 4, 1807.
The want of a good Federal paper at the seat of government has long been a subject of regret with Federalists. If you may judge from the spirit and ability of the following address, an opportunity of encouraging such a one now offers, and we hope our friends will not be backward in giving it an efficient support. Subscriptions received at the office of the Intelligencer.
The Washington Federalist.
From a variety of adverse circumstances, which it is painful to reflect upon, and would be tedious to detail, the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST has for some time been suffered to languish. Anxious to revive its drooping spirit, and restore it to its former strength and usefulness, the present proprietor has entered into an engagement with Mr. JONATHAN S. FINLAY, a young gentleman of respectable talents, fair character, and zealous industry, to whom the editorial duties are to be assigned.
In consequence of this arrangement, it is intended that after the 30th of September next, the Washington Federalist shall appear on the following conditions.
 1. It will be printed on paper of the super-royal size, of a good quality, and on a new, small and handsome type.  2. It will be published twice a week at Five Dollars per Annum, paid in advance.  3. Postmasters and others, who shall obtain 10 subscribers, and forward the amount of their subscriptions, shall be entitled to one paper. 
In offering myself to the public as the Conductor of a paper which has heretofore held a high rank in the political warfare of our country, and which derives some consequence from its locality,—propriety, not less than custom, seems to require, that I should make an explicit avowal of those political sentiments which I entertain, and of the principles by which, in my editorial career, I mean to be governed. In making this avowal, I shall not be seduced by popular opinion, or led away by the fashionable doctrines of the "passing times;" but shall "speak as my understanding instructs me, and as mine honesty puts it to utterance."
The parties which at present divide the United States, took their rise previous to the formation of that Constitution which now binds us together, and stamps us a NATION. Before its adoption the then opposition assumed a definite form, and arrayed themselves under the banner of principles at war with those contained in that instrument. This opposition did not cease with the adoption of the constitution; but extended itself to its administration. During the first session of the federal Congress, it distinctly showed itself, and it acquired new boldness, and evinced a more bitter malignity, on the adoption of each successive important measure under the administrations of Washington and Adams. At length the party which had been the minority, became the majority; and to them were entrusted the administration of that very form of government, to which they had ever declared themselves hostile.
Believing, as I most firmly do, that the Constitution of the United States is the most perfect model of a free Government which human wisdom has ever devised—believing that its adoption was not only necessary, but essential to our existence as a nation, as well as to the safety and well being of the individual states—believing, that during the first twelve years of its existence, it was administered in its true spirit, and with a well judged attention to the interest and happiness of these United States—believing that the leaders of the party now in power, never did, nor ever will feel any attachment to that constitution which they so warmly, but ineffectually opposed—believing that they obtained their power by intrigue, deception and calumny—believing, that the system they have pursued since their accession to power is calculated to weaken the national compact—to enervate the arm of national strength—to lower the tone of national dignity—to lessen respect abroad and confidence at home—I cannot for a moment hesitate in the choice of principles
for my government. The Washington Federalist , whilst under my direction, will pursue the same object, and advocate the same principles, which it has heretofore done, while in abler hands, and better fitted for the editorial contest. Not contenting myself with a "beggarly account" of passing events, or a dry detail of public transactions, I shall claim the right of judging of the conduct of public men, and tendency of public measures—of exposing the wickedness of the one, or the folly of the other—of sounding the tocsin of alarm when danger threatens, a bestowing the meed of praise where praise is due; and this right I will exercise to the full measure of those talents with which it has pleased God to endow me, and with a diligence which toil shall not lessen, and a perseverance which difficulty shall not abate.—Placed at the head quarters of democratic folly and intrigue, I will watch her manoeuvres with keen circumspection, and develop her schemes with promptitude and truth. With the national good for my object, and the constitution for my guide, aided by such lights as a limited reading, and by such observation as a life of more than common variety, amid a fortune of more than usual vicissitude, can afford—without any undue partiality for, or prejudice against, any foreign nation, but in all cases endeavouring to keep on "the American side of the question," I shall press forward in that path which principle prescribes—which a Washington marked out—which a host of worthies have travelled—the plain, straight, elevated path of FEDERALISM .
The duties of a federal editor are, at this moment, arduous and important. They require a firmness—a determination in the cause of truth which cannot be shaken or diverted by the obloquy of hired defamers, or the more threatening terrors of the midnight dagger. Thus far, I flatter myself I shall be found in some degree qualified. But they also require a variety of knowledge; an acuteness of reasoning; a force of expression; a quickness in detecting, and facility in exposing those hidden and dangerous errors, which, beneath the plastic hand of democracy, assume the form and semblance of patriotism, to which I can make but feeble pretensions. I cannot, in the field of controversy, vie with a PARK, a COLEMAN, a BRONSON, and a host of others who might be named; but what I lack from the feebleness of my force, or the unskillfulness of my aim, I must endeavour to compensate by the ardor of my zeal, and the teneness of my industry.
But that to which I must be principally indebted for whatever share of patronage the public may be pleased to bestow on me, is the advantage of my situation. The utility of a Federal Paper at the seat of the general government, must be so obvious to all, who will take the trouble of reflecting on the subject, that it would be a waste of time to insist upon the position.—Upon such paper must all federal editors throughout the Union depend, in a great measure for the proceedings of the government and the schemes of the cabinet. The Debates of Congress, which ought to form part of the reading of every politician and every quidnunc, would be alone sufficient to recommend to public support a paper which would impartially and faithfully detail them. In that body, are proposed and adopted all the important measures of our government. There are their principles debated—their tendencies examined—their fallacy exposed, or their propriety shown; and he who will carefully read, and thoroughly understand, such legislative arguments, cannot long be ignorant of the principles of our government, or blind to the interests of our country. Carefully to take, and promptly to publish these debates, must ever form a prominent feature in the duties of an editor stationed at this place. To comply with this duty, arrangements are now making and previous to the meeting of
This is no visionary danger conjured up to serve a purpose. Threats of no equivocal interpretation have been thrown but in different parts of the Union; and in our own neighbourhood is a society of "spirits malign," who, in nightly conclave, drink "Immolation to Federalists."
St. John's American School New Haven, Nov. 1807

congress, will be completed; so that the readers of the Washington Federalist may depend on having a faithful report of the proceedings and debates of congress at their next session, which promises to be as interesting as any that preceded it. The expense of this arrangement will be very great. An able reporter cannot be obtained under 25 or 30 dollars per week. To enable me to meet this expense, I depend on a liberal subscription and prompt payment.
It might be improper to close an address of this kind, without expressing my sentiments on a recent event of great magnitude—an event which has agitated the public mind to a degree scarcely paralleled in the annals of our country, and which wears the aspect of serious consequences. Let it then be distinctly understood, that the emotions of indignation and abhorrence with which I first heard of the outrage committed by the British ship of war Leopard upon the United States frigate Chesapeake , though something calmed, have not yet subsided—that I still view it as a flagrant violation of our national sovereignty and as an injury that calls in a voice loud and distinct for ample reparation, or national vengeance. What that reparation should be, is for the constituted authorities of the country to determine; and I hold it to be the duty of every American to rally round their government, and support them in the maintenance of the national independence and honor of their country. I deem it a clear principle that national ships shall be free from the right of search; and so far as our administration shall contend for this principle, I pledge myself to support them. But in making this pledge I would not be understood to divest myself of the right to examine the measures they may pursue, or the plans they may adopt. Though I think our country ought to go to war for the outrage committed on the Chesapeake and ought to make that war eternal if reparation is refused; yet I should very unwillingly see a resort to such extreme measures for the obtaining of other points, which may be, and I fear will be, connected with this transaction—points which it is visionary to suppose the British will ever accede to, so long as they remain a nation, and which, if conceded, would, it is believed, be an evil instead of a good to our country.
Such is a brief sketch of my political principles, and of the plan on which it is intended the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST shall be conducted, and to which I most respectfully solicit the patronage of all true disciples of the Washingtonian School throughout the union. For a while the cause of Federalism has drooped—for a while the rays of the sun of truth have been obscured by the dark clouds of democracy, and the "spirits of the shade and of the cave have ruled over us." The illusion cannot long continue. Already does it begin to lose its deceptive charm. Already does the returning sun of Reason begin to dissipate the mists of ignorance and error which have too long overhung our country. The vista of hope, which had nearly closed, again opens, and presents to our view the prospects of better things. Now is the time for every true friend to his country to come forward, and aid the cause of truth and of virtue. Let every heart be ardent in the cause, and every skilful pen be poised for the contest. Then will victory be ours—then will each one have the glorious—inexpressible pleasure of reflecting that he, too, had a share in rescuing his country from that degradation and contempt into which democracy would plunge her, and in placing her safety on a basis which shall resist the shock of internal commotion or external assault, and her fame on a pedestal that shall mock the oblivious efforts of time.

FOREIGN NEWS.
NEW-YORK, Sep. 6.
By the ship Cato , captain Coit , who arrived at this port last evening, in 40 days from Hull, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has been favored with a file of London papers to the 11th July, inclusive, seven days later than before received, containing the important intelligence of the defeat of the Russians, and an armistice between the French and Russian armies, with the addition of the following interesting articles.
Capt. Coit informs, that it was the opinion that the armistice between the French and Russians, had terminated in a peace, as a tremendous cannonading was heard all along the French coast just before he sailed.
A mail from Toulon arrived last night, and another this morning. The latter has brought Hamburg papers to the 5th inst. Paris papers to the 3d inclusive are also arrived, containing the 80th Bulletin from the grand army, dated from Tilsit on the 19th. The advice from the armies by the Hamburg papers are of the 22d ult. The armistice was signed on the 21st between prince Lastanow on the part of Russia, and Berthier on the part of France. The prisoners taken on each side are to be exchanged immediately. Plenipotentiaries have also been appointed to negotiate a peace between the two countries. The accounts in the German papers state the losses of the Russians in the late battles to have been very great indeed. Two transports belonging to the first division of the expedition arrived at Elaineur on the 22d: the remainder were expected immediately.
Tilsit, June 10.
DEAR FRIEND,
I am now come after a fatiguing march of fifteen days, to the borders of Russia, upon the banks of Niemen . During these fifteen days we have fought three skirmishes and two battles, with all possible success; I cannot give you the particulars thereof, as they would be too long; I leave it to the Newspapers to inform you thereof. All that I can tell you is, that the Russians have never been beaten so dreadfully. This moment their army is no stronger than our own van guard , such a number of men have been killed of them—I assure you that not many prisoners have been taken. I estimate their loss in the two battles at 25 or thirty thousand men. I can speak with knowledge thereof, for I have been about upon the field of battle where the dead were so heaped one upon another, that they might have served me as a writing desk, if on that day I had writing materials about me.
(Hamburg Cors. July 4.)
Tilsit, June 22.
Yesterday an armistice was concluded here between the prince of Neufchatel , major general of the grand army as plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor of France and king of Italy, and the prince of Lastanow , of Roscow , general lieutenant Great Cross, &c. was plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor of Russia, in order to negotiate in the interim a peace. If this should not take place, hostilities can only begin again after a month's previous notice. Commissaries are mean while appointed to exchange the prisoners man for man, and rank for rank, and plenipotentiaries have been named to treat for and conclude the peace between the two great nations.
Hamburg Cors.
NEW-BURPORT, August 24.
We stop the press to announce an arrival at Salem on Saturday from Europe , which brings London papers 6 days later than before received, among other articles, our informant adds, they contain the highly important news of a TREATY between the UNITED STATES and GREAT-BRITAIN being SIGNED.
On Thursday last a duel was fought at the Wollabam (Brooklyn) between Mr. David Reddick and Mr. Joseph H. Barrymore , midshipmen in the U. S. navy. The latter, we are informed, was wounded in the abdomen, and his life is despaired of. The quarrel is said to have originated in a slight misunderstanding. [N. York pap.]
We mentioned in a former paper that Admiral Berkeley had offered a free pardon to all deserters from his Britannic majesty's service in the navy. Since which we have received the following copy of the order:—
BRITISH SEAMEN
"As the Hearts of all true British Seamen are like the native Oak, honest, tough, and unchangeable, and never can be induced to countenance hostilities against old England; the Admiral and commander in chief of His Majesty's squadron on this coast, proclaims a FREE & UNQUALIFIED PARDON to all those deluded men (mutineers excepted) who have been induced to quit his Majesty's ships of war, on condition they return immediately to their duty—And every other BRITISH SEAMAN, who shall voluntarily enter for his Majesty's service, shall receive the full and additional bounties, upon joining any of His Majesty's ships. Applying for conveyance to His Britannic Majesty's Consuls, so that he may be sent to Halifax.
Given under my hand, this 14th July, 1807, at HALIFAX, Nova-Scotia. G. C. BERKELEY.
Mr. Charles Stuart , an Englishman, detained as a prisoner of war in France, remarkable for his nautical adventures, which generally were marked by an adverse case, has recently experienced an additional misfortune. While confined with the rest of his captive countrymen at Verdun , he turned his mind, which always inclined to nautical disquisitions, to a minute enquiry into the state and strength of the French coast, ports, &c. and having acquired a very full and satisfactory information thereon, he wrote a detailed account of it, and addressed it to a naval lord in England, in hopes that his country might profit by his researches. Unfortunately the dispatch was intercepted, and Mr. Stuart was in consequence immediately apprehended, and after a short examination, was marched in irons to the fortress of Beish in Alsace, where he was confined, and still continues in a dungeon sleeping upon straw, having permission to ascend to the battlements of the fortress, for air, only one hour in the day.
ALBANY, August 28.
After a considerable number of this day's paper had been printed, we were favoured, by the politeness of a gentleman, with the following important article, and stop the press to insert it. Extract of a letter from Geneva , to a gentleman in this city, dated 23rd August, 1807.
"We have just received intelligence, that the Indians have been committing depredations in the neighbourhood of Detroit , and massacred several of the inhabitants; and that the people in the vicinity were flying to the fort for protection."
This intelligence came in a letter from Judge Porter , who resides on the Niagara river, to his brother Col. Porter in Canandagua . If this is the case (as I am apprehensive it is) our company will have to march sooner than they expected.
BALTIMORE, September 1.
Amidst the uncertainty of report, we are happy to be enabled to lay before the public the following concise statement of facts.
The boat which boarded the Othello , was purchased and fitted out in this city by four Frenchmen, and her crew consisted chiefly of deserters from the Patriot and L'Ecole . They sailed from this port on the night of the 1st of August, in pursuit, as they alleged, of an English brig then supposed to be in the bay, bound out; not finding the brig they were afraid to proceed to sea on account of the British ships of war off the capes and returned up the bay. The Othello , they say, was represented to them as British property, but discovering the error they were induced to give her up. The captain, who was part owner, and two other owners, with a sailor, fled on board the Patriot (having made their escape from the boat just before she was taken possession of by the volunteers from this city) where they were secured, and sent by the commodore, under guard of lieutenant Colhoun , to the French minister, who immediately directed they should be delivered over to the civil authority; they were then received by the register of the city (the mayor being sick) and by him committed to prison.
The crew originally consisted of 21 persons—twelve are in confinement, and a search is making after the remainder.
FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE. TRIAL OF Colonel A. BURR.
FRIDAY, August 28.
Mr. Martin continued his argument at the opening of the Court, and occupied the whole of the sitting of the day.—After the usual hour of adjournment, he had not gone through all the points which he proposed to discuss. The subject will be continued to-morrow.
SATURDAY, August 29.
Mr. Martin resumed his argument, and did not conclude his observations till nearly 3 o'clock P. M. From the commencement to the termination of his argument was nearly thirteen hours. He presented the subject in some new points of view, and adduced some additional authorities. His argument was a very learned one.
After Mr. Martin sat down, Mr. Randolph rose and made some further observations. He was followed by Mr. Hay , as to some new points made by the counsel for Col. Burr .
It is expected that the court will give an opinion on Monday.
MONDAY, August 31.
The Chief Justice delivered the opinion of the court, on the motion made by the counsel of Col. Burr , to exclude all other evidence from the consideration of the Jury, as irrelevant upon the present indictment: the result of which opinion was, that under the particular circumstances of this case, as detailed in the evidence already given, no further testimony could be relevant. The opinion of the Court was very lengthy, and took up two hours and twenty minutes in the delivery.
Mr. Hay requested some time for consideration as to the course which it would be proper for the counsel on the part of the United States to pursue. For this purpose he wished the court to adjourn till to-morrow or next day, in order that the opinion of the Court might be printed; and the effect of it clearly perceived by the counsel for the prosecution. This was opposed by the counsel for Col. Burr , who stated the situation of the Jury in general and particularly that of the family of one of them. They said that as the effect of the opinion of the court must be to discharge the jury in a very short time, after it should be acted upon, it would be better to adjourn till 6 o'clock this evening, at which time the counsel for the United States might be able to determine on the course which they judged most proper to be pursued.
Mr. Hay declaring that he did not think it possible for him and his associates to form any decisive opinion by that time, the Chief Justice observed that the court would adjourn till that hour, and if the counsel for the U. States should not then be prepared, or should not attend, the court would be adjourned till to-morrow.
Monday Evening 6 o'clock. The court adjourned till to-morrow 10 o'clock.
TUESDAY, September 1.
Mr. Hay observed that the opinion delivered by the court on yesterday, had been maturely considered by the Counsel for the United States, the result of which was, that he had nothing further to offer to this Jury, either of evidence or argument.
The Jury then retired, and after an absence of 20 minutes returned a verdict in these words:
"We of the Jury, find that AARON BURR is not proved to be guilty under this indictment, by any evidence submitted to us. We, therefore, find him NOT GUILTY."
This form of a verdict was objected to by Colonel Burr and his counsel, who insisted that it should be in the usual form, simply, Not Guilty .
Mr. Hay contended that the jury had a right to find their verdict in this form if they thought proper; and that it should be recorded in the very words of the verdict. It might be more satisfactory to them, and amounted in effect to the same thing as a general verdict of not guilty . He knew of no law, and he was certain there was no principle against it.
Mr. Randolph answered that form was against it; and in criminal cases, form was law . Why else are precedents always consulted to ascertain what the law is.
Col. Burr contended that the jury had no right to bring in a written verdict, or to say more than whether he was guilty or not guilty . The form of the charge given to the jury, (which was read, at his request, by the clerk,) would point out their duty. This was, that they were to say whether guilty or not guilty , and no more.
Mr. Hay observed that if the verdict were not in writing the same objections might occur, if the Jury should persist in the form adopted by them. They might direct their foreman to deliver it ore tenus , in the very words which had been indorsed on the indictment.
Colonel Burr . The Charge given to the Jury, so far from including such matter as they have inserted in their verdict expressly excludes it. If they had delivered it ore tenus it would have been considered as mere conversation addressed to the audience, and nothing more would have been thought of it. But they had no right to deface a record of the court.
Mr. Parker , one of the jury, enquired whether the indorsement on the indictment could not stand, as the jury, and the verdict be entered on the record in the common form of not guilty . If he were sent out again he should not agree to return a verdict in any other form; and if he were to answer ore tenus , he should use the very same words.
Chief Justice. If the Jury think proper to alter their verdict it is very well; but if they insist upon retaining the form

in which they have returned it, the court cannot reject it; because it is a full answer to what was given them in charge. The indorsement remained as the Jury had inserted it, and the clerk recorded the verdict in the common form not guilty .
Col. Burr observed that he should not move for a discharge till to-morrow. If any objection should occur to that course it might now be made.
General Jonathan Dayton appeared in court to answer the indictments found against him by the Grand Jury for treason and misdemeanor.
Mr. Wickham stated that after the decision of the court yesterday, there could be no doubt but Gen. Dayton was bailable. He read two affidavits, one of a Mr. Williamson of Elizabeth Town in New Jersey, and the other of Gen. Dayton himself, both going to show that the latter could not have been at Blannerhasset's island at the time when the overt act was committed which is charged in the indictment.
The Chief Justice mentioned twenty thousand dollars, as the sum which should be given.
Mr. Wickham thought it was excessive; and was more than appeared to have been usually required in the state trials in England.
Mr. Hay said he was not very solicitous with respect to the sum.
The Court fixed the sum at ten thousand dollars, and Mr. Williamson and Mr. Martin entered as his sureties in the recognizance.
The Court adjourned till to-morrow 12 o'clock; at which time the Counsel for the United States will determine upon the course to be pursued with respect to Col. Burr.
MARTINSBURG, September 11.
Israel Smith, Esq. of New-York, arrived in Richmond on Sunday last, and was immediately conveyed to one of the apartments attached to the penitentiary.
The Militia in the vicinity of Staunton, made a very handsome parade on the 20th ultimo. In the two regiments which paraded on the occasion, there are no less than 902 volunteers.
Postscript to the Newcastle Chronicle.
We have received the French papers to the 31st, and Dutch to the 6th July, which completely dissipate the speculations lately indulged in, as to the operations on the continent. The Russians appear to be totally discomfited in the battle of Friedland. The 79th bulletin, dated Wehlau, the 17th of June, contains a detail of the events of that disastrous day, in which, on the anniversary of the battle of Marengo, Bonaparte with an extraordinary accumulation of good fortune, has gained a victory not less important. The loss of the Russians from the 5th up to the 14th, is estimated at 60,000 killed, wounded and prisoners. Bonaparte pursued his victory with unusual rapidity, and on the 19th, his head quarters were at Tilsit, on the Niemen. Marshal Soult entered Koningsberg on the 16th, and got an immense booty, and 160,000 stand of arms, some of which, it is said, were not unloaded from the ships. But the most important result is, that the Emperor of Russia, in consequence of the irretrievable defeat his army sustained on the 14th, proposed an armistice, which was agreed to. It is not to be broken without a month's notice. In the mean time the French army secures a position, of which the Niemen is the principal boundary and barrier. This Armistice is for the express purpose of giving time for the Negotiation of peace, which it is very probable will speedily be concluded. The king of Prussia was not included in this armistice, except that he had five days to conclude one for himself.
These events were announced at Berlin on the 28th, by general Clarke:—“An armistice was concluded on the 22d inst. between Russia and France. One of the articles mentions, that hostilities shall not commence till a month after notice shall have been given.—The French and Prussian armies are to conclude a separate Armistice within the interval of the five following days. His majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Majesty the Emperor of the Russians, are immediately to nominate Plenipotentiaries, to negotiate the great work of Peace. An exchange of prisoners will take place immediately.—The limits of the French and Russian armies, during the Armistice, shall be from the Curish Haff, the Pregel of the Niemen, and from the left bank of that river up to
the mouth of Arama at Stabia, and pursuing the course of that river to the mouth of the Robra in the Narew, and from thence ascending to the left bank of the Narew by Tylowczyn, Surasz, Narew, to the frontiers of Prussia and Russia. The limits in the French Nahrung are to be the Nywieg.
After the people had brought themselves to believe that the French were beaten in the battle of the 14th, this intelligence produced a most gloomy sensation. It is now clear that the Continent is at the feet of Bonaparte, and in all probability we shall be left to prosecute the contest alone.—Every man's feelings are now sufficiently touched by this melancholy prospect.
Thus is Prussia annihilated, and Russia shut up within her own frontier. Sweden must no longer attempt to swagger, or Denmark to temporise. Perhaps at this very moment their final answers have been exacted and our expeditions exposed to the mere chance of being enabled to return in safety! The political atmosphere is gloomy beyond all former example!
The following candid, liberal and highly honourable concessions of Mr. Mitchell, an editor, who for several years has conducted a village Democratic newspaper in the state of New-York (and certainly with more of learning and talents than any other Democratic editor,) will be received with satisfaction by the Federalists, and will cause those of the more moderate and considerate among their opponents to pause and reflect.
The article is entitled “Federal Influence.” On this subject Mr. Mitchell expresses himself thus:—
Let us for a moment, consider wherein consists this eminent danger of admitting Federalists to a due share of influence in our state and national counsels.
In the first place, then, the great body of Federalists are Americans, who pride themselves as much on national character as do the Republicans, and including the different sections of the Republican party, it comprises more of European emigration, than does the Federal party.—Hence there is greater danger of the prevalence of foreign influence in the politics of the Republican, than in those of the Federal party.
Next I would inquire, and I request every Republican candidly to make the same inquiry, whether Federalists are not in reality the friends of their country? Are they not as sincerely and as ardently attached to its happiness and welfare as are the Republicans? To convince ourselves of this, let us examine characters under our immediate notice. Have we not Federal neighbours and Federal friends, in whose hands we would be willing to intrust our most important private concerns? And are such men improper persons to be intrusted with the interests of our country? There are yet some leading Federalists whom the rage of party has not removed from exalted and responsible offices; do these not fill their stations with dignity, usefulness, and patriotic integrity? Would it not be dangerous to displace them for the elevation of characters, less qualified, less competent to discharge official duties? It has been said that Federalists are in the interest of the British government. Recent events have proved this assertion a calumny. Who, on the subject of the late British aggression, have held stronger language of disapprobation, who, on the occasion, have rallied around the standard of their country with more zeal and ardour than the Federalists? Is this not sufficient evidence that they are not in the British interest? and no other interest has it been pretended they were attached to.
The time has been when it was supposed that a British and a French influence prevailed in this country. That time has long been past, and the American people, not blinded by prejudice, or infatuated by ambition, now see the necessity of guarding against the introduction of every species of foreign influence into the politics of their own country.
I shall leave it then to the judicious, the temperate, and the discerning politician to decide, whether both policy and justice do not demand that Federalists should be admitted to a due participation in the affairs of government? Does not our country want their talents in her councils? And in case of war, could she dispense with their services? Should this country be involved in vigorous war, alas! how would the bawling, blustering, brave fellows, who now dash on the high boards of politics, and swaggering, talk big about battles and blood, how would they wilt and wither away, when called
to defend their country's honor, “even in the cannon's mouth?” Then would danger compel us to turn to those on whose ability, experience and bravery, we could rely for defence, safety, and protection, whose finances we annually tax for the support of government, but whose counsels and services are rejected by the intolerance of party spirit.
I know the partizan may urge precedent against my arguments, by calling up the wars of Federalism and Republicanism. But these were “the days of other years,” the errors of past times, on which, though much has been said, yet volumes might still be written. My remarks are predicated on the strongest conviction that there is, not only in this state, but throughout the United States, a prevailing spirit of moderation, which will finally break down and triumph over the violent spirit of party, and restore the politics of our country to their original purity, or at least, place us on such grounds that the great body of the people shall be known only by the name of American party, and their opposers by that of faction.
Let not the prudery of party stare at the reflections. Let the principle be fairly examined. The times are portentous; we are threatened with war from without; contention and violence prevails within. On union and moderation depends our security. Old prejudices must be dismissed, and one common object held in pursuit, the honour, independence, and glory of our national character.
