In this town, on "Wednesday last, Mrs.
Hannah Gordon, aged rs, wife Of Mr. Ma
thaniel Gordon, after painful sickness of
about nine months, which she bore with
great resignation TO the will of God.
Before her sickness, il was her unspeak-
able happiness TO be believer of the doc
uine OF our Lord Jesus Christ. Through
the mercy Of God, she was begotten again
to lively hope BY the resurrection Of Jesus
Christ from the dead
During the time Of her illness, her mind
seemed 20 be remarkably cUmfOrted by The
consultations Of the gospel, and as her life
drew near close, her views Of the love III
God appeared greatly 10 increase, and her
mind 70 be established III the faith. Thro'
her various trials, she was sometimes in
heavlness f; yet before her death, she enjoy
ed the uninterrupted light Of Gods cou:-
tenance. Death no longer appeared TO her
the KING OF terrors In tire prospect Of put
ting on this tabernacle, she desired, 1t it
was the viii OF God, to depart and be with
Christ, which was far better. So true is
that promise, "as thy day ID, SO shall thy
strength be-"
In the state Of her mind, during her last
moments, the truth OF that scripture was
very apparent, " The righteous has hope I'M
his deatb."-She is gone, and those who
knew her best, doubt not hut that her de-
parting spirit wss carried BY the angels in
to Abraham'S bosom. On this account, the
friends OF Jesus may moderate their grief,
and not sorrow az those who have no hope.
=" Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord yea, saith the spirit, they shalt rest
from their labors, and their works shall fol-
low them"

TO the Electors Of York District.


FELLow-cITIzENs,
WHILE YOU are suffering BY the wicked
ness or folly of your rulers, an address on
the subject Of the election would seem un
necessary. When to an impartial observer,
all the evils YOU now endure may be Justly
imputed 70 the present administration and
their adherents, it seems Incredible that the
people must be persuaded to relieve them
selves from oppression, Enmity to COM
merce and an unprinciPled attachment to
France could be easily dtscemed without
the aid Of perpetual embargo, extending
to your land intercourse and coasting trade
But the means resorted 70, 70 Justify these
measures are, If possible, more insulting 20
your understanding and dangerous to your
liberties than their conduct itselfs distress
sing and oppressive. A plot is in operation
to extort your appreciation and TO make You
the willing victims Of distress and slavery.
Clubs and caucuses are appointed and or
gaBized BY men in power 10 impose on you
belief that ihese measures are for your
good; andyou are invited to unite with these
hirelings aud pensioners to approve and
justify tie authors Of your misiortunes.
You were told Of county committee, ap-
pOiutel az ~ on VINO were 10 meet " Gu
force the election Of Mr. Cults NotwIth-
standing this was treated as federal fabri-
cation this committee did meet, and out Of
seventeen, ten were for Mr.. Cuts seven
had the aulacity to dissent Yea you are
urged 10 mGainify, because certain Office
holders in Boston have found feA l1lfA il this
district, sufficiently doeile, slavsh aud un-
pFinciplsd to submit 90 the scaE.lalous
drudgery OF Tying M. Cuts into Office. Do
these servile wretches consider what pit
iial compensation Mr. Cuts patronage viii
be for the loss Of their s'sciiSe rights Have
they no serious fears that the system they
are carrying into effect, viii ere long pro-
strate the temple Of liberty and Dury them
under its rains Do they expect that Mr.
Cuts can screen them from public inligaa.

The conscientious editor Of the Ar
gus has, ir his last paper, with most
wonderful satisfaction to himself pro-
duced paragraph, in which he thinks
he has abuadantly proved his regard 10
truth and impar;is lity, in what he calls
a publication of the rejected treaty. 1t
is Of little personal consequence 10 us,
what is, or is not, published in the Ar
gus but il is of some Importance TO
! the citizens Of this District, to know
the whole truth, particularly as relates
to our foreign relations. The situation
Of affairs between this country and En-
| gland, has frequently been the subject
| Of public discussion and il has been
the constant and jealous endeayor Of
the hirelings OF the present administra-
ton, to instill belief into the public
mind, that Great Britain was opposed
! to an amicable adjustment, and wished
for war with this country. Hence we
see, that the CONSCIENTIOUS editor, with
all his pretended sanctity and regard to
correctness, seizes on every article
which will have tendency to influence
the passions and produce disposition
in the citizens of the country in favor
of war with England. What can be
the object with the leading democrats,
in pursuing such preposterous sys-
tenn of conduct, is not to be accounted
for upon any good or reasonable
ground.
We have no idea that the citizens,
generally, who rank under the demo-
crat-c banners, will sanction this course
of conduct in the leaders of their party.
But these men, in order to induce the
people to join with them in their wick
ed and ruinous schemes, set up a de-
mocratic paper, and thus render the
press completely subservient to their
unprinciPIed and ambitious views. On
this account we SO frequently witness
gross prostitutions of one Of the first
privileges free people can possess.
Few papers in the state have been more
ahlndantly furnished with matter for
this work of iniquity than the Argus.
Whatever will serve the cause of de-
mocracy, or rather his employers, is
his creed.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser. (Portland, Me.) 1805-1818, 1808-10-03

The Argus repeats the electioneering
story of the existence Of g strong grounds
Of probability" that our difficulties will be
speedily settled with the bclligerent ma
tions. The pext democratic paper viii
probably tell US "there is strong grounds
of probability" for believing that this has
been effected by the embargo-the lie VIII
then be comeleIe.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser. (Portland, Me.) 1805-1818, 1808-10-03

We have been deceived our dearest
rights have been entrusted to men in whom
ther. is no confidence Our state treasury
has been plundered, our national treasury
exhausted by sbecaiatiOns and the embargo,
and nothing can replenish them but insup-
portable burdens upon the people. Distress
is at our doors, and the gloomy mansions Of
a prison await US. Let us awake and make
one manly effort for relief, before our cleo
tive rights are wholly engrossed by county
committees. Letus unite like Ne1U Ha1nb-
shire, Rio le-Llaat and Vermont, and show
our contempt for the measures by abandon
ing the men.

1t is subject which provokes our laugh
ter, to see what pitiful means the Jacobins
resort to, in support of their sinking cause
1t is mentioned in the last Argus, (morda.
cious DAMsEL''), that the notes which ac-
companied the rejected treaty, "were in
tended by the British government complete.
ly TO destroy it, unless the French repealed
their DEGREES land The idea Of This, the Argus-
mar cannot endure, for he Ioves them Ike
" 1oad-apple-pte,"l or our government de-
clared war against the French" This, it
seems, is worse for them still.
Now if tie treaty and notes are so preju-
dicial to our interests as the Argus insinu-
ates them to be, why not publish them en-
tire, that they may speak for themselves, in
stead of giving garbled copy r ea,lse,
we repeat, II rould give The :" lie" % az Their

The Editor Of the Argus, says that on
the 9Th Of October he published the " SUD
stance" Of the rejected treaty, and inslnu-
ates that the Gazette and not the Aygus at
tempts to deceive the people. In this, the
conduct Of the editor is like that of the
thief, who, on having stolen piece Of
goods from shop window, was the first to
cry out stop thief"
The Argus published few partial and
incorrect remarks on the treaty, with sum-
mary of the articles but let any impartial
and candid man compare the publication in
the Argus with the treaty entire, and he
will at once see that the publication was
calculated to deceive and impose on thepub-
lie.

OUR latest London dates are TO August
9th. They furnish further particulars of
Spanish uccess Near Barcelona, the
French were defeated and forced to retire
to the forts. The Caledonian patriots i'm
medlately determined upon storming the
forts their loss was considerable, between
six and seven thousan q men were killed,
but they succeeded in making themselves
masters Of the principal one and put the
whole garrison to the sword.
The French Gen. Money commenced
his attack on Valencia with 1900 men. In
a series Of actions which were fought be-
twixt the Goth and 29th of July, near
that place, the Patriots were completely
victorious accounts state that of Cen.
Moneys army Of 1900, only 1000 were
able to make their escape. It is further
stated that the French nave lost in Arragon,
Catalonia and Valencia 10000 men.
Bonapa~te's negy king Of Spain is
said to have arrived at Madrid, July the
Goth; that the people observed sui
len silence on the occasion. II is re-
ported on the authority Of private let
tiers, that violent tunlults had taken
place that the French troops in that
city had been attacked and great num-
bers killed, and the remainder put to
rout A few days will probably test the
correctness of these reports.

The Immaculate and patriotic Treasurer,
Callatin, has at last condescended to inform
the people as to the two millions Of money,
which lie now says was intended as pur-
chase money for the Fioridas, or in other
words to be wasted il another Louisiana
hoax. This is democratic policy, keep buy

to guard them against the inyasions Of In

pie with lullaby stories and waste their
money in building useless g1m-boats, whilst
our commerce is annihilated, our merchants
ruined, car seamen and mechanics deprived
Of employment and our farmers compelled
TO see their produce perish on their hands, OF
TO sell it for ore half its former price. Such
is the blessed, glorious effects Of the tri-
