At time when the federalists seriously
rejoice in All important measure Of the ma.
tional Exec utive, and when the democratic
party, with some exceptions, profess the
same sentiment, it may be seasonab,e. and
perhaps candidly received, to offer some re-.
Prospective remarks on our publick affairs.
There is not an individual in the United
States more solicitous 10 MAINTAIN the hon.
our OF the American government than our
selves. But we know that in the pressn,
enlightened state Of society, j, cannot be
done by imposition or hypocrisy. sor main
tanned on false grounds. Mr. Madison has
done we'll !; we feel sincere pleasure in
ascribing to him the praise he deserves, but
we can neither forget nor justify the errors
which have retarded the happy event now
announced, to this time, and subjected our
couatr, to unprecedented distress, with the
total AMI irrevocable sacrifice of many mil
lions of property.
AS the whole history Of our collisions
and our negotiations, with Great Britain, is
before the American public, and BET fore
the world, that contracted and ma. ,nant
spirit which seized the present occasion, as
afiordng grounds for triumph and exulta-
ton, not only tends to sour tie minds of
those. whose friendship Mr.. Madison APP
pears willing TO cultivate, but must actually
reflect disgrace on the American character,
far IL a. nnjoxrded. Great Britain has in an
eminent degree displayed that conciliatory
spirit. which we have uniformly attributed
to her councils she has relinquished
ground, which she might in justice, held
forever, for the sake OF an accommodation.
ON geseyamsa has ,eeedea from The ABSURD
ground IL haa saien, and in so doing de.
serves the praise ofeyery American citizen
and the respect of the world.
That tins is the true state of the case will
inevitably follow from review of facts.
We ought no, 10 admit an obvious truth
with reluctance, particularly as return te
rectitude, rejects glory on nation as much
as On an Individual. To personi6 the A.
merican government, it may say

worth our attention. Little, iietful, and

nor their vices. We expect them TO follow
their nature, and the present occasion viii
give them ample scope, But while this is

From tie Aesv.lcrk Evening Post.
1.-THE following Communication is sent u:
from highly respectable Clergyman in
New-Jerseyl
Nh. CoLHmAY,
Should the following facts be thought
worthy of such notice, you will please
to give them place in your paper.
That they took place as here recorded
Can be indisputably proved and they
serve to shew into wha: unhappy pre-
JUDGES blind party spirit NAV lead
people.
On the day lately appointed by the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church, to be observed as day of fas.-
ing, humiliation and prayer, worthy
clergyman of this State, IN. Jersey
in preaching to his congregation, pre-
cecded, as is usual on such OCCASIONS
TO take "a view of those prevailing mi.
qui,ies in our country, by which we
sorsaking the God Of our fathers, and
provoking the Most High 70 visit our
land with sore calamitics. lie also ex.
horted to that sincere and thorough re.
formation without which q, nation,
we could not hope that God would turn
away his righteous dispieasare from US,
and AFFORD US his protection ani favor.
In doing tbs, he was necessarily led
to notice the prevalence of inidelity,
and other sins resulting from this
source and 10 exhort his people, as
they regarded the honor OF God, the
interests of religion, and the best inter-
eSts OF their country, TO use their right
of suffrage conscientiously,by electing,
to the management of the public af-
faiis ), men who TO competent talents,
unite manifest regard for the honor of
God, and the prevalence of sound NOR
ais and religion.
The discourse gave great offence TO
the democratic part of his auditors.
Some Of them called on him the mex,
day, and charging him with an unwar-
rantsble Interference with politics,
threatened to quit any further attend
ance on his public ministrations. The
worthy man, for some time, expostu-
lated with them OH the unreasonable.
ness of their resentment, alledged that
instead Of an understandable interfer-
ence with politics, he had kept himself
strictly within the limits of his minis
terial duty, as prescribed by the word
OF God that ii they would calmly and
candidly consult their Bibles and plain
reason, and not suffer themselves to be
inisled by an oyerheated party-spirit,
they could not possibly be displeased
with any sentiments he had delivered in
the sermon III question. They per-
sisted, however, in declaring with such
sermon delivered at any time, and

WHAT rs The DIFFERENCE
Great Britain, the moment she heard
Of the conduct Of Admiral Berkeley, ex-
pressed her sorrow, disa,owed the act,
offered 10 make every PREPARATION, and
even sent an Envoy Extraordinary TO
offer US the very terms which we have
now accepted, provided we would Go
what We have now done, namely remove
the proclamation.
France has never expressed any sor-
row for the outrage committed, never
disayowed the conduct oil Admiral bau-
din, never offered TO make any repara-
ton, either there or here, nor has she
ever made any.
These facts are louder than ten thou.
sand words. And yet there is party
in our country who have been incessant.
ly striving to involve US in war with
Great Britain, and entangle us in an al
lance with France. That, fellow-citi-
zens, is the old Administration party
but they have been obliged by the voice
Of the eastern States TO give ground.
