HoH/em eemmi7ee, Mr.. Morris in the chair.
mr.. Harpe,'s SPEECH c0ucluded.J
The lat inRance is brought from Rich
mond. There too, according to gentle
men, a perfon indicted under this act, was
denied the opportunity Of producing evil
dence in fupport of his publication. Let
1t be recolleeted, Mr.. Chairman, that this
perlon was. indicted for a libcl+ 70 atroci-
Gus, that no perfon except its author, has
yet been found profigate cnoogh to de-
tend or even to quote it. A libel not on
the administration merely of this govern
ment, or on the government itfelf, but on
the nation, the contribution, our independ-
ence, the war Of our revolution, the patri-
OTIS who conducted it, the character Of our
people and country, and on the American
name. A libel or every perfon and thing
that is American, except the individual,
whom alone it difhonours by its praie /;
whom it dlgraces as far as difgrace can
be inflicted by the commendation of the
wicked whom 1t places alone on that bad
emlnence, where, 0 even a generous enc
my could with to fee him Rand. A libel
fir, which has made its Importers blufh
which they have ednlouly endeavorcd to
fupprefs left it hould dilhonor the caufe
which it was intended to defend which
they have made to fhun the light, and
Paled f%ecretly from hand to hand, left
it hould produce repulGon in the minds
Of ,thofe. whom it was their with to f.
duce. This, fir, was the libel for which
the pcrfon in queffion was indicted, and
which he had the ~efrontery to fay that he
wiihed to prove, by the tefimony Of hon..
orable men. He willed to call men Of
character into the court, and infult them
by aiking them on their oaths, whether
The Profped Before Us" was true.
Is there one man ON earth, FIR, prohigate
and hardened enough, to fay that he be-
lieves it! Would the gentleman whom he
pretended that it was his with to fun.
mon, have. appeared in court, and faid that
they belle ed what the book contained !
No, fir. One Of them was in Richmond,
and was fummoned. He, fir, is a man of
honorable feelings, Of a manly character,
whole political prejudices and party ami
notifies, frong as they are, neverbetray-
ed him into a mean, a little or paltry aGi-
on. He was fummoned, and what did he
anfwer "Let the fcoundrel run away and
! will pay his recognizance ; but as to ap-
Pearing for him in court, that would be
too much" This is faid TO have been his
anfwer; and whether he. gave it or not,
certain it is that he did not attend. The
other perfons propofed to be fummoned
were within reach, and might have tie n

the coneitutionality of which a doubt ha,
never been RATED.
we are told, fir, that the people Nave
condemned this act; that the reop,e. as
one gentleman has eloqucntly exprc}ed il.
have declared their difapprobation in
a voice OF thunder" Sir, gentlemen de-
ceive themfelves. They have indeed thor
TINS reaton a good one, and have proved
that they thought 70 by the indutry where
with they have ufed it. But they greatly
over-rated its effects, which they mealure
by the erring ffandard of their own zeal.
Let 1t be remembered that this ac was
paled in the fpring 'os, and in the fun
mer and autumno of that year, and the fpring
OF the next, when the Glamour againlt this
law was trelh and high, the American ma
ton was called upon to express by a gene
raj election, its fenfe of the conduct of its
representatives. Let it be remembered,
that the perlons who were Instrumental in
Pahing this law, never received higher or
more general proofs of the appreciation
and confidence of their country, than in
this election. "A change, gentlemen fay,
has fnce happened. IF this change be any
thing more than apparent, or at mott a tenn
porary Auttuation in popular fentiment,. it
is owing to far other cauies than the ledi-
ton act caufes which need not now be
difcufed. Suffice it to FAY, that this af
has received the highef and mott repeat
ed proofs of appreciation on the part Of
the American nation ; and that, induNri-
Gully as the Glamour againR it has been ex-
cited and kept up, that Glamour has never
extended beyond certain parts Of the
country.
We are called on, fir, for the reafons
why this act fhould now be continued. /
will give my rcafons mott freely. Whether
they be the fame with thofe which aetuate
the conduct Of other gentlemen, / know
not, but in. my mind they deferve all con-
liberation. I with TO revive this law, fir,
as a Alield for the liberty Of the prefs, and
the freedom of opinion; as a projection to
myfelf and thofc with whom I have the
happiness and the honor to think on pub
lie affairs, hould we at any future time,
be found by the imbecility or the INTAKES
Of any future ADMINISTRATION in this coun-
try, to commence an, oppoition againft 1t;
not a factions, proAigate, and unprincipled
oppofition, founded on falfhood ard milf
representation, and catching at the paf;ons
and the prejudices of the moment; but a
manly, digni6ed, candid and patriotic OPP
petition, addreaed to the good fenfe and
virtue Of the nation, and T.Ring on the
BATS Of argument and truth. Should that
timeever arrive, asst may arrive, tho. 1esr-
neftly pray that it may not, I with to have
this law which allows the tyufb to beJgiven
sinevidence on indictments for libels / with
tohaye this law as hield.. When indicted

city of thofe who govern, ] with 70 be

had. What did the court fay ? I" You
ihall have a~.continuance till next term,'if
you entitle yourfelf to it according to the
rules OF laws by difclofng to the court, on
afhdavit, the matter which you expect to
prove by theie witncGes, and hewing that
1t IS material. Even without complying
with thefe terms, you fhall have a pof-
Ponementrf1om day.to day, in order 0 pro-
cure your Wsitneaes, as long as the time al
lowed tor the letting ofthe court will admit.
But of this indulgence ne ufe was made.
No effort was made to procure the wit
nehes during the fitting of the court.
That was not the object. The Object
was to Hofpone the trial till the next
court, under the pretence Of the abience
OF wltnelsS /; and the court recoliectinp
the Philadelphia cafe where an attempt
was made to practice fmilar trick, were
on their guard, and very properly refolyed
to defeat it. They refolved 70 bring on
the trial. nnlefa proper ard legal grounds
tor a continuance fnould be hewn. AS
this could not be done, the trial was bro't
On, and the party convicted by an honea,
refponfMe: and independent jury.
So much, MIR. Chairman, for the OPP
p~rehlons exercifed under this law, and for
the objections to its. ex?ediency.
AS to the quelion of confitutionality,
it has been waved by gentlemen very
properly, in my opinion !; and l certain
ly ihall not enter into it. The conRitu-
%tionality, Of the law has been, on many
former locations, tr~iumphantly efablifhed
by arguments to which Eot ever the fem
h!ance of an anfwer has been given. H.
deed, fir, | have never 70 lowly appreciated
the understandings Of thoGe who have cla-
nored about the unconaitutionality of this
act, as to fappofe that they themfelvss be-
/ 4eved in their objections. l have ever
S@onidered thofe objections merely as In
fruments for working on the public mind,
as party expedients for exciting d:f:ontent
againf thofe in power, ard paying the
way for their difmiHal. / have ever con-
hdered the conftitutionality of the edition
act, as a mere talking horGe, behind
which to fight the administration. l be-
lieve that it has always been 70 confdered
! by. thcfe who have uled it by thofe who
have mott gladly grafped, and mott
ipduftrioufy welded, a weapon whereby
they hoped to demolih the power of their
political adverfaries, and open the way,
for their own.
Hence, fir, audience alone the clamors
about the unconaitutionality Of the fedition
act. Hence, and hence alone, the odious
epithets which have been heapcd upon it,
ard the tales fabricated about opprenions
ex-rcifcd in the courfe Of Its execution.
Hence the charge that congrefs had no
power to make a proyiGon, which refs on
the fame principle whereon are founded
nearly third Of the laws of our code /;
and which cannot be.diAinguiibed, and has
never been attempted to be diainguihed,

PLEASING PROSPECT.

With JEFFERSON in the Pre-
idential chair, with a BURR to pre-
Gde over our Senate, with MAD
OLSON entrulted with the affairs OF
State, and GALLA1IN to fuperin-
tend the Treafury, we are warrant
eddy itrong probabilities TO ailert,
that iultice and economy will be the
order Of the day that the Conlti-
tuition will be kept invio!ate, and
public monies be accounted for when
expended ; merit will be given to
the delerving, and Liberty reign fyi-,
umpbant.--Wi,h this view of our
prefent auipicious Gtuation, We
want only the faithful heart, and
diligent hand, and our Liberty is
iecured. Georgia, Kentucky, Ten
nshee, N. Carolina, Virginia, Penn
iylyania, New. York and Rhode-In-
and, are Republican by great MOTOR
titles. South. Carolina, Maryland,
Delaware and New Jerfey, are lefS
najorities, though collectively, are
i'll the Republican interea. Vermont
is near equally divided. 1t is faid
however that the prelent Ailem-
bly, is decidedly Republican. New
Hampihire has a majority of fix in
their Legillature on the Federal fide.
Maiiachuletts hath lefs than thirty.
Connecticut have great majority,
but the Republicans are gaining

From fbs Charlton City GaSefte.

Died, in this city on Friday la&, after
a ihort but ievere illnef,, in the s5th wear Of
hi, age, MIR. SsrH PAINE, heretofore one of
the proprietors and Editors Of this Gazette.
He was a native Of the town of Dedham, in
the Rate Of Nlalrachuietts, and has been re.
sident in this fate for nearly ten years paR.
Defended from one Of the fra families which
,he religious oppreiIion OF the times had driv-
en- from England, TO take refuge in the then
ihhofpitable wilds, now tho Esitern Rates Of
America, he had imbibed from his anceaors
that love for liberty and hatred to arbitrary
government which 1aone 70 conipicuous in
the ErG ie,,lsrs of Kew England, men who
though. no fscri6ce too great when it was
made to obtain the " freedom of the mind" I"
As an Editor Of public paper, he cxerted
his abilities in fupPor OF rhof: principles
which btought about the American rcvolu-
zion, and on which our government, now 70
profpcrous ard happy. Is founded. 'ro no
citizen did the r-fult VI the late preferential
election give more Gncere fa,istaetion than to
him, and IL va, with that honcR pride. be-
coming Republican. thar he took credit to
