Republican printers can be pro-
fecuted Tor the mott tril1ing errors,
and the federal printers efcape with
ippunity, when every column of their
papers exhibit libel upon the Gene
ral Goveinment.-But the day of re-
tribution will come---fooner or later,
jultice will take place. In MIR. adams
reiSn, many groCs acts of violence
were committed on republican prin-
tiers, and innocent things tortured
into ledition and treafon. But the
times are changed, and the federalilts
have changed with the times. 1t is
now lawful to abufe and culumniate
Mr.. Jeferfon, and the federal preiles
are furcharged with the fouleit and
mott illiberal afperiions againlt him,
who is the pride and glory of oul

evil, and We agree with Mr.. Paine
give the federaliits rope enough ant

merely to fence that idntS, 70 gigc theln decd-
ed influence over the representation of the coun-
try, and to secure them by stratagcm aud trick
from the fate which they are conscious must soon
await them if the people are permitted TO express
their will in the form prescribed by the Federal
CONSTITUTION. A certain builjer errcefed a street
in Dublin; and whethcrit was TO indulge caprice
or TO exhibit novelty in architecture, SO con.
trived it, that by the intimate contignaton OF
each house with che rest, II must Of necessity
happen, fiat if one house fell, the whole side of
the stfeer must tumble down along with Il. This
was SO obvious 10 every pcrsen skilled sin the SCI
ence, thar an eminent architect lfsred 10 lay
wager Of ten Thousand pounds, that witt, saw,
a rope, and three men, he could pull down the
whole side oftht street in one hour, having NJ
more to do than 70 CIT the corner pillar and draw
it from under tic horse II helped TO support.
This was great error inbal'ding a street;
bur in the constitution OF government, to>have
all tie parts balanced aud dependent on each O.
ther, demonstrates great wisdom in the construc-
tors. ey.nces simplicity in the design, shews that
it rs perfect and compeat without having any SUI
pei Auous machinery, and imposes the necessity Of
absrainiDg from innovation or ptuning. This,
We take it, may be said OF the Federal Conssu-
on: The saw was put into it when the Judiciary
Bill passed and III making the proposed alteration,
the faction may be SAID TO be fastening the rope
with which they and their myrnidons will, with
out the least difficulty, pull down the whole struc
ture to the grouna.

Mr. Varnum therefore left the chair, and Mr..
Griswold Connecticut rose and said, that in adj
vertirg TO the Message of the President, respect.
ing thc Treaty and purchase of Louisiana; he
thoughtit required great time and consideration,
and that it is recommended, thar temporary
provision should be made to carry the same into
effect. This being thescase, the subject must
come immediately before the HauAe; and, i.
therefore becomes us, Continued M. Gri.woId)
to know whether we have obtained any New
Territory or newSubjecss to govern; tor until
this shall be evident, II wilt b, unnecessary to
make provision. 1t did not to him appear, that
we had Obtained any new territory or subjects,
as by the 81 Article of the Treaty, Spain is to
cede TO France SIX months after the ratilcat,on
of the Treaty, upon certaincondi;lons The Ter
ritory of Louisiana Nowit does not appear,
thar those conditions are complied with and il
SO, France las no title, and Of course the Unit
ed States car derive no title from France. We
ought to have such documents laid before US, as
will clearly shew where the title Is vested. The
treaty between France and Spain, refers to that
between France and the United States, and only
part of that treaty is named in ours. II Isl part
Of our title, like title deeds TO al estate, and.
without it, We have no title, if we contract be-
fore Spain makes the session. He wished to
know of the President, whe,her we are to take
our title of France or Spain, for it would be use
less to provide, until we know whether we have
title or not.
Mr.. Griswold therefore moved, " That the
President be requested to lay before this
House, copies of the DEED Of cession OF Loui
siana, from Spain to France, if any such there
be together, with all other documents relating
thereto, 10 order to ascertain, whether we have
acquired any new territory by the late Treaty
with France"
Mr.. Ran lolph opposed the motion, ina speech
of considerable length which, with many Others
on this important occasion, shall hereafter de-
tail. Messrs. Griswod, Goddard, Elliot and
Thatcher, spoke at length, and with great ability
in iavour of the motion; and Messrs. Randolph,
Smile, Mitchell and Nicholson, aganst-it.
At a late hour the House was counted, when
the motion was lost. Ayes 57-Noes So.
The House rose at six o'clock.

RECIPE

Far the Bilious ChoEc, and the Dysentery.
By Doctor USHER of Connecticut.
Dissolve in keen vinegar as much COM
mon table salt as will, when put in an open
bottle, ferment and work itself clear. The
bottle should be nearly full, that it may dis
charge the foam; this done bottle it foru use,
let the person affected, take a large spoon
full of the vinegar in about gill of boiling
water, or at least as hot as he can drink it,
until he finds relief. 1t will efectually re-
move the cause in either case, although the
patient may be SO far relaxed as to die with
weakness. The same remedy is excellent
in the Common Cholic.

THIS TWO LAWYERS AND COUNTRY.
MAN.

Two Lawyers, riding out Of Town,
O'ertook an honest country clown,
Ard riding up each side bis mule,
One cries; well Hodge--most knave or fool!
Quotb Hodge, ! cannot say 10 roth,
But think I'm Just between them ho,h.
Five women were lately tried at Patua, in
Hindostan, on charges of sorcery, and being found
guilty, were put to death. The governor gene
raj being informed Of the circumstances, ordered
all the principal persons who had composed the
tribunals TO be apprehended, and arranged before
the circnt court of Patna, on charges of the MUIR
der of these women; and the court adjudged
them TO suffer death.
It appeared, however, that this custom had
prevailed time immemorial; several Of the wit
nesses remembered numerous instances of persons
having been put to death by the Bramins for sor
Gerry, and one Of them proved, that his own mo-
Their had been tried and executed as witch--th
government therefore pardoned the offenders
but to prevent the recurrence of clrcums 50
disgraeeful to humanity, approximation has been
issued, declaring that any one foming tribunal
for the trial OF persons charged with witcheratt,
or encouraging In any otto deprive such per-
sons of life, Shall be deemed guilty of murder,
and suffer the penalty attached to that offence.
