COMMUNICATIONS.

1t is universal maxim that no cause car
long be supported unless founded in the
principles Of truth and justice. Falsehood
and deception may for time triumph, but
most sssuredIy lying tongue viii in the
end be put to silence. Where liberty exists,
difference of opinion on political subjects
will always be found, and we are far from
denying the right which every member Of
society possesses to employ reason and facts
in support of his opinions. But when a
writer resorts to falsehood to build up his
party and endeavors to place his own sins
on the shoulders of others, he must possess
o mind depraved indeed, and hardened for
commission Of every crime. Did we wish
TO dwell on a subject of this nature, we
should examine the assertion contained in
piece published in the last Argus, taken
from Col. Dudne't Aurora, addressed "to
he people called 9aakvs."
The writer tells the Friends if they are
sincere in the principles they profess and
would have their practice agree with their
professions, they must vote with the demo-
cratic party; and gives this as reason, b,
tdlseb saying that the democrats are for
pesce, and declaring that the federalists
are for war Isit possible that the people
called Quakers can be imposed upon BY
such an infamous lie Have not the federal
lists uniformly advocated an amicable adjust
meni ofour differences with England and
has not Mr.. Jefferson and his party uniform
ly opposedh III The fast is. the leaders of

THE EMBARGO-ONCE MORE.
But the Embargo is coming off," says
ny democratic neighbor. Indeed What,
this measure, which is SO zpise, so IMPORTANT,
soEssfd, 10 be discontinued If there were
reasons sufficient for iaTng an Embargo, and
'oF continuing it nine months, do they not
shll operate in favor Of the measure !
Ihis Pfetenoe, that the President and Con-
gress will now remove the embargo laws,
is evidently a mere trict, to gull the people
against the approaching elections. How
tan the administration repeal those laws
ssnsisteaty with their declarations The
SeTii" and Milan DEGREES, the British orders

Jefferson has very lately said, in reply to the
petitions, that the state of things Is the same
as when the Embargo was imposed. am
mat 1t cannot be raised until the bekrcveut,
alter their conduct. Why then are we told

De raised Tor d inag time. They say the
measure is srOEg one, calculated to bring
the British to submit to our wishes. They
say it is Beneficial measure, and that the
President is pledged to continue it, &c. And
yet to serve their present purpose, it is pre-
tended the Embargo is speedily to be rails
ed.
The British have given full proof of their
pacific intentions. Though they have pass
ed orders 10 counteract the DEGREES Of the
French, which in some cases might operate
severely upon peutrals, they have not exc
cuted them. Every indulgence is extended
to neutrals, which can be, without giving
advantages to their enemies, the French.
But the Emperor Of France has detained &
conhscated American property to great a
mount, in the most insolent and arbitrary
manner. Whilst his DEGREES continue, we
may expect the orders of Britain will re.
main unrepealed, though not carried into
full execution.
The Embargo, then, will not probably Oil
we may believe Mr.. Jftferson) come off fol

fore you exercise this important privilege,
seriously reflect on your present situation,
and compare it with what it was under the
administrations of Washington and Adams,
when you were represented by federal men.
Your commerce was protected, and profta-
bic you found ready and good market for
your lumber, fish, and the produce Of your
soil. You could improve your farms, and
extend your commerce, and discharge your
debts, and still add to the amount Of your
property. All this and more was in your
possession, without your being subjected to
burdens or dePrivations of any kind. Have
the present men in power continued Il, you

is friend to free trade Ship owners, do
you wish to employ your navigation in prof.
liable voyages, which now offer to the w.
Indies, Spain, Portugal, and many other
places then promote the election OF Mr..

and an enemy to the embargo. In short,
there is not a member Of any honest occu-
patton or profession whatever, whose inter-
est and welfare will not be promoted by the
