Ma. SHIRLEY,

Ulhs
have been waiting to see in your paper
some particular account of the Embargo and
Non-lntercourse Laws; SO that the people
might know how far they are to be relieved
by what Congress did at the close of the
session in partly raising the Embargo but
not having seen such an account, l will
state some OF the outlines, lest many should
be deceived into abelief that our rulers had
really restored US again to our rights.
/. We are now absolutely forbidden to 60
with our vessels to any Engi,sh or French
ports--as much as we have been for fifteen
months past and the Embargo Law is in
full force as to all such connection.
2. IT'S now as unlawful to transport any
ofour produce BY land into the British do
minions as it has been for sfecn months past
and the Embargo Laws; even the last
tremendous enforcing acf, in full force as
they respect this kind of commerce. We
are as much subject to mihitayy ia.v-to the
desposism Of Coiiectors--to midhight searches
Of our dpelling-hauses and SantOa vioiStioa Of
our Castles as before.
5 Our Coasting Trade is shaokled with
restrictions and continued under heavy
bonds.
4. We are still subject to be governed and
condemned by Pessaestini lasouefioHs in
stead of Lasus; and instead of enjoying our
liberty according 10 oar constitutions, We are
by the Embargo Laws Hovo in free. compel
led to give bonds fm our good Lebavs az, when
we have neither done wrong, nor threatened
to do it. t. secs a.

moment, Mr. CORE has been annually
honoured by the sufirages OF his tello"
citizens, with y seat in one or other
branch OF the State Legislature. 1t re-
mains only to observe, that Mr.. Cone
in his d .partment, exhibits the mon
ners Of polished genueman'..an ac-
compiished schoilar.--He has made
himself familiar with the best models
of ancient and modern literature. At
the bar, he is remarkable for cool inves-
tigation candid argument, and q style
of eloquence, al once animated ana
impre ssive, classical and correct. In
his private life, Mr.. GoRE partakes OF
few OF none of those occupations, which
the world call amusements, and many
of which are innocent Ills Intervals
of relaxation frora business, are en-
ployed in the cultivation OF his farm, the
pursuits Of literature, and the enjoy
ment of an extensive society oil friends
who love and respect him and whose
good opinion, constitutes his greatest
felicity. In fine, we are confident, we
are in mn slanosr Of contradiction, when

which party asperity would throw ON
him, than Mr.. GoRE-,hat there is NO
ONE who has more personal friends,

they cherish & admire his virtues and
his talents.

AS the ofiicc.seekers and advocates
Of the embargo are circulating the most
scandalous lies and falsehoods to pre-.
vent the election Of Mr.. GoRE--such as
that he is an advocate for war, disso-
luton Of the states, British partizan,
&c.--you will oblige friend to the lib
critics and prosperity Of the people, by
publishing the following short review Of
his life and conduct. Let me add that
he was, tho young at the time, zeal.
Gus and active supporter of the Ameri-
san revolution, and bore arms, as a
volunteer, in defence Of our IAdepend-
ence. That he ably and eloquently adj
vocated the adoption of the Federal Con-
s'ifufion, as member OF the convention
in the state, as may be seen by a recur-
renee to the debates of that honorable
body. But the only hopes of a few
desperate men, foes to the happines of
Massachusetts. are, il possible, to car
ry the election of their candidate, by
destroying the character of this worthy
citizen. AN OLD MAN.

From the Boston Gazette.


From the Boston Gazette.
Mr.. GORE was born in Boston, about
the year l75o--the youngest of large
family OF children, whose parents, and
grand parents were natives ofthe same
town AT very early age he enter
ed Harvard College, and Immediately
after receiving his degree, he was enter.
ed pupil in the Office OF that excel
lent lawyer and most estimablc man,
the lste Judge Lowell, With him he
remained the ordinary period assigned
for the completion of those studies,
which are requisite, to prepare young
man for the practice of the law, in our
courts. AT the expiration of his clerk
ship, he opened his office in Boston,
and by bis talents, industry, and good
conduct, soon acquired an extensive
practice. In the duties of his profess
sion he remained busily employed un.
ill the year 1888, when the Convention
OF Massachusetts was called to ratify,
or reject, the present Constitution of
the United States. To this assembly
MIR. GoRE was returned a delegate for
the town Of Boston and was one of the
most active an influential members of
that highly patriotick and respectable
body. Alter the organization of the
Federal government, Mr.. GohE was
appointed, by President Washington,
District Attorney for the Massachusetts,
District and it is doing but scan,y JUS
tice 10 Mr.. Cores character and con.
duct in that Office, to declare-that to
his vigilance, perseverance and deci-
sion, were the United States in great
degree indebted for the preservation of
their neutrality in the District of Mug
sachnsetts.
1t was at that period, the influence of
French money, French flattery, and
French principles, began to SOW dis.
cord and confusion among our people
and laid the foundation for that party,
which by their aid, has since marched
10 power, over the illuminated wor-
thies, and violated the constitution of
our country. In the year 1896, Mr..
GonE was appointed by Washington,
one of the commissioners under the
British treaty, commonly called Jay's
treaty. He sailed for England in the
month vi May in that year, and except
passage lie made in order to have
an interview with his government, re-
manned there, discharging, with unwea-
ried patience and sdelity, the arduous
and importan, duties of that Office, uA.
Ill the whole object of the mission was
accomplished, most satisfactorily for
hts country. Those only who dis,inc.
Gy know ,hcd!iliculties and labour at
tepdant upon siiis commission, can tru.
il estimate those talents and exertions,
which were instrumental in bringing it
TO so fortunate aud honorable a con-
ciusion
On Mr.. CORES return TO this coun.
hv, the merchants and Others, his fellow
citizens. invited him to a publick din
AR. which they gave as testimony of
t',eir high sense OF his services, and

character.

Every thing augurs well. But we must
not sleep at our posts. The wicked
are still sewing fares, If, however, We
are deceived again, We mus, blame none
but ourselves.
The Embargo, indeed is Off hartial-
H-But no thanks to the democrats.
They did all in their power, merely
from fqrfy feelings, to continue that
distressing measure. The removal of
the Embargo Is owing TO the manly ex.
er'ions OF the FederaGsts. And the
