The following extract of an address, delivered on Saturday last, by Mr. James A. Neal...
EXTRACT.
I shall now, Young Ladies, make some observations on a subject to which your attention has been frequently called...
COMPOSITION.
The intrinsic excellence and utility of this art, must be obvious to every reflecting mind.
Years are laudably devoted to other branches of science, whilst this, the ornament of them all, is criminally neglected.
After having acquired a competent knowledge of reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, and perhaps geography...
Some persons who possess, in other respects, a liberal education, by having neglected this exercise, appear totally uninformed.
Early convinced of the importance of this part of an education, I have persisted to instruct you therein...
Many of your young ladies, may recollect the period, when it appeared almost impossible to express even a few commonplace ideas on paper.
Facility in composition will also teach you to express your ideas verbally with propriety and grace.
To be able to express your ideas with ease and propriety on paper, is a source of considerable felicity...
I might still greatly enlarge upon the excellence of this essential branch of a finished education.
WASHINGTON CITY.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, DEC. 22.
The motion made on Friday, by Mr. Davis, to refer to the committee to whom had been referred a memorial of the House of Representatives...
Mr. Griswold said the whole subject, of which the resolutions now offered formed a part, was already referred to a committee.
Mr. Davis said he had always thought that a committee to ascertain facts, and to frame business for that house proceeded from a knowledge that a committee consisting of a few members...
He was enjoined by the laws of last session, to give notice of the election, and to appoint a judge or judges to attend it...
The governor of that territory receives annually a salary of 2000 dollars for his services and each of the Judges a salary of 800 dollars per annum.
The gentleman from Connecticut says, that the resolution contains direct charges against a man high in office...
It is true this resolution was offered by me at the last session, but it was not rejected as the gentleman supposes...
If this resolution contained any thing new or strange there would be some excuse for the objections made to a reference...
The object however, for which this man was sent over us, has not been accomplished. His mission has failed.
You have no idea, said Mr. Davis, of the mischief this man has done in the Western Country; particularly in the Mississippi territory.
Mr. Otis was averse, the last session, when this subject was before the House, to commit himself by a vote...
these laws had been passed under malignant intentions.
On the truth of these declarations, Mr. Otis was not prepared to decide. He required that information which the committee, already appointed, would be most likely to furnish.
In his opinion, Mr. Otis said the subject desired by the gentleman from Kentucky, could be accomplished with much greater propriety in the usual way...
But the gentleman asks, if the charges are true that are contained in the resolutions, why not pass them?
If the people of this territory are really oppressed—if they groan under the pressure of tyrannical and unconstitutional laws...
This, sir, said Mr. Otis, is not a question of federalism or anti-federalism. If the sun of federalism, as the gentleman from Kentucky asserts, be set...
I hope, continued Mr. Otis, that the sun of federalism is not set. If it really be set, I hope that the fatality which that gentleman inhabits will not soon experience the want of its animating and protecting influence.
It might be proper to repeal the obnoxious laws, without branding with corrupt motives those who enacted them.
(To be continued.)
Tuesday, December 23.
A petition was presented by Mr. J. C. Thomas from the messengers of the several executive offices complaining of the inadequacy of their present salaries...
Mr. Dent proposed to the House a resolution, that the president of the Senate and the speaker of the house should have power to adjourn their respective houses...
The bill concerning George Washington was taken up in committee, Mr. Morris in the chair, when it was moved by Mr. Lee to strike out the dimensions of the pyramid...
On the question for engrossing the bill, a warm debate ensued, when it was taken by yeas and nays, and carried in the affirmative.
The bill was ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday next.
Adjourned to Tuesday the 30th inst.

The Schooner Two Sisters, David Fornis, Junr., master, lately arrived at Beverly from the Grand Bank, with a fare of 500 quintals of fish.
It is in contemplation to make a turnpike road from this town to Boston, in such a direction as to lessen the distance to twelve miles.
An Irish gentleman, who resided in this town last war, on considering the fisheries and other maritime advantage of this state, used to say, that Massachusetts was the backbone of the Union.

ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 22.
Who will be the next President is uncertain.
When the Constitution was formed it was foreseen that a majority of electors appointed might fail to give their votes to any one person, and that the House of Representatives, voting by states, might fail to give a majority of votes to either of the persons out of whom they are bound to elect, whether between two, having an equal number and a majority of the electors; or between the five highest on the list, neither having a majority of the electors appointed.
The necessity of having a President always in being was obvious. Therefore the Constitution enacted, that "the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected."
President of the Senate, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the time being, shall act as President of the United States, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."
The President and Vice-President being elected for the term of four years, commencing on the 4th of March: they can continue in office no longer than until the last moment of the 3d of March in the fourth year after the commencement of the Presidency, when they are removed from office by virtue of the Constitution.
In providing a successor in the case of removal from office, it is probable the Constitution contemplated few cases likely to happen, but the constitutional removals of the President and Vice-President, which removals were certain to occur at the same time every fourth year, and whether the vacancies so occurring would be filled up by an election could not be otherwise than uncertain.
But the Constitution authorises Congress to provide by law for a successor in all cases of removal of President and Vice-President, and consequently in the case when the President and Vice-President shall be removed according to the constitutional tenure of their respective offices.
This interpretation of the text in the Constitution that has been quoted, is to be maintained not only for the reasons which have been given, but because if the words be at all doubtful, that construction shall be given which is indispensably necessary to preserve the existence of the government.
The Senate is always in existence and will be competent to act when there is neither a President and Vice-President. On the 4th of March at the instant when the Vice-President is removed from office by virtue of the Constitution, the Senate is competent to hold its session and elect a President pro tempore.
If Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Burr shall each have a majority of the electors appointed and an equal number of votes, the House of Representatives may not agree to give either of them a majority of votes in which event the Presidency will devolve on such person as on the 4th of March next, shall be chosen President of the Senate pro tempore, who will continue to act until a presidential election can be conveniently held and a President shall be elected.

Mr. Davis, one of the wise democrats in the Legislature of the United States, has predicted, that ere three months elapse, the "sun of federalism will set forever." What kind of light is to be then diffused or whether we are to be left in midnight gloom, this political astronomer has not informed us; we, however, naturally suppose, that one of two things must be the effect of the sun set, we shall either be in total darkness, or what light we do receive will be emitted by the feeble rays of the MOON of DEMOCRACY.

Those who, since the departure of the French Princes, have continued to form part of the civil and military establishment of the Princes. 3.

Those who have been maintained on the list in consequence of the Report of the Commission established on the 7th Nivose, 27th of Dec. last.
MR. WAYNE. You are extremely incorrect in the biographical sketch you gave of Mr. West, in your last paper. He is not Sir Benjamin, having constantly resisted the honor of being knighted—he was not born in Philadelphia; but in Chester County—nor of obdurate parents, his father was a respectable farmer, and by no means obscure in his time—and from the known good sense, prudence and sound discretion of Mr. West, I presume the rest of your statement to be equally inaccurate.

WHEREAS the Evil, and pernicious Practice of firing guns on the eve of the old year, has been long adopted by many of the indolent and thoughtless part of the Community to the great terror and annoyance of the citizens—and whereas the legislature of this Commonwealth has deemed it expedient to pass a law forbidding under a severe penalty the firing of guns in the city of Philadelphia or on or near any public highway, I do in consequence thereof, forewarn all persons in the city aforesaid transgressing herein, and I do hereby require and enjoin all the city Constables and Watchmen to be vigilant in searching out, apprehending, and taking before proper authority, all persons so offending, in order that they may be punished to the utmost rigour of the law, and all good citizens are solicited to aid in carrying the said law into Effect.

Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the Southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously propounded as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and feverish heat, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
