TO JAMES MADISON,
President ofthe United States.

ESTEEMED AND RESPECTED SIR,
Your Republican,, fellow citizens of the
City and County Of New.York, at general
meeting, directed us to address you to ex-
press the high confidence which they repose
in your talents and integrity, and their full de-
termination to support the rights and govern
mcnt Of our country.
( Your election, Sir, to the chief masistracy
Of the union, was an event which afforded us
the greatest satisfaction. Your ancient and
uninterrupted friendship with Mr.. Jefferson,
the experience which you have obtained in q
long course Of publick life, together with the
integrity, ability and usefulness with which
you have filled many of the most important
stations in society, are valuable pledges to
your country of the patriotism, discernment
and iirmness, with which the goycrna ent viii
be administered.
We rejoice the more in your we'll merited
elevation, because in manifesting the attach
mcnt of the people to republican principles,
and 10 those practical rules of election which
are so essential to the preservation of order.
We have acquired an additional valuable proof
of the practicability of the representative sys-
tenn.
]. The dispensa,ions of Divine Providence,
and the voice of our country, have chosen you
to preside in a most interesting situation Of
affairs. To your wisdom,an to that of Con-
gress, we cheerfully submit the nature and
character of the measures to be adopted.
Conscious that these only properly belong to
the regularly constituted authorities, we arc
happy to add, that, in the present instance,
the dictAses of duty are united with the voice
Of Affections. M
We cannot bnt entertain proper sense Of
the aggravated and long continued injuries
which our country has sustained fro-l the
principal belligerent nations Of Europe. At
tachcd to peace, while peace can be lnaintain.
ed wltlihonour hut still more ardently devo-
ted to the essential rights to the Unit
ted States (; while we should dcpIore the ne
cessity of rcsoriing to more vigorous mea-
surcs, we should become ccnsoled by the re-
aec,ion that patriotism and Justice produced
them.
In stating the full confidence which our
Republican fellow-citizcns repose ia you, and
in the majority Of eur national leprc sentatiycs
We are also happy to express full dcterm-
ination to support the freedom and interests
Of our country and the measures Of ils gov
ernmcnt, in war and b peace, with our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honour.
That your administration may be. pleasing
and satisfactory to yourself, as well as pros
|. porous to the American people, and that your
name may descend 70 postsrisy united with

tis csno.rfo. No Thc-surc could DC better
calculated ~ avert a war, than an enibarSo;
no expedient could have been resortcd 10 so
it to command respcct for, and an obscry-'
ancc Of, our neutral rights. lis true, that a
partial inconvenience must result TO ourselves
from the measure, but the true mode OF aP-
preciating its value and its benefits, Is by
comparing il to state Of war. The small
sacrifice OF interest can never be placed, BY
an enlightened, a virtuous, and fumanc pee
pie, i'm competition with the waste. and the
carnarc,' and the horrours OF war. Ii our
common highways were infested with robbers,
and the traveller was sure to be robbed II not
murdered, madness could only dictate an ex-
posure. The common highway OF nations is
thus infested, and wisdom suggested the pro-
pricty of our remaining at home.
To indicate peace, the Romans shut the
temple Of Janus, and we, in liberal lmta-
ton OF their example, have shut the temple
of plutus. We have considered gold as OF
less value than blood, and the happiness Of 9;
free people as not dependent upon the num-
ber of their counters. Rational men calcu-
late the profit and the loss of an. cnteiprizc,
and humanity commands us to be niggards.
Of human misery. AS mere calculators ac-
cording to arithmatical rules, how immense
would be the difference between an embargo
and a war !--As Christians and as phiianthro-
psts, where is the man whose coItl-,Iooded
virtue would dare to advise the sacrifice of
his species on the altar of mercantile ava
rice t8te
Who is there towbom the shrieks and groans
of our fcllow-citizens on the frontier, un-
der the scalping knife and tomahawk of the
merciless savage, would be musick ?---Who
is there that wishes to behold the agonizing
scene of wife and mother, weeping and
tearing her disheveild locks over the body
of her scalped husband, and the manglcd
frames of her children ?--Who is there
that desires to trace the footsteps of the
savage by dcsoIation and blood, to see our
frontier hamlets rising in flames, and to hear
his yells in the war dance around them p
Let such monsters rail at measure of peace,
let such rail at the embargo
Are there any among us,who would behold
without emotion, the bombardment of our
scaports, the conflagration of our cities, and
the tragedy of Copenhagen acted upon our
shores ?--If there be, to them must the en-
barge be detcst..ble.
Who is the man Of blood that considers
war pastime, and views its horrours with
the composure of theatrical exhibition !--
To him must peace prove curse, and ex-
cite the same sort of anguish as the sight of
Paradise to the fallen Angels.
To be concluded merit 1eesk.1

Gentlemen, 5s.s.

Abraham Bloodgood, Chairman

To the General Refsubican Committee Of the
City and County Of New-Yor
I have received fellow-citzens, your ad-
dress bearing date the 18th inst. with due
sense of the kind sentiments it expresscs,and
of the favourable light in which it views ny
advancement to the Executive Trust, and the
several considerations which led to II.
In proportion as the present situation OF
. our Country rs interesting, II is consoling to
find the conviction becoming universal, that
the difficulties rendering it so, have resulted
from the accumulated wrongs committed by
the principal belligcreEt Nations, in spite os
the Justice and iorbearancc Of the United
States, which ought to have avcrted them,and
that the only remedy is to be found in firm
and patriotick support of TIC measures, devi-
sed and pursued by the Constituted Au.hor-
ties. 1855.
!. The pledge and example of this duty, pre-
sented in your address, is entitled to the high
est praise. Devoutly praying that sympathy
and emulation every where, may, under the
divine blessing, have the happy effect Of pre-
serving to our Country the advantages OF
peace, without relinGuishing its rights or Its
honour, tender to you and to those whose
sentiments you have conveyed, my corcial
respects and my best wishes.

HAVING in my last shcwu the incons'
sistency of Federal doctrine, respecting
wealth, honour and responsibility, will now
devote few moments to to discover the tal-
lacy Of their pretentions in regard TO talents
and religion. Voltaire in assingng reasons
for the striking difference between the state
of Europe Of late years, and its situation two
centuries ago, in regard to literary distinc-
tions, makes the following judicious and ap.
propriate remarks. "Original genius occurs
but seldom in a nation where the literary taste
is formed. The number of cultivated minds,
which there abound like trees in a thick and
fiourishing forest, prevent single individual
from rearing his head far above the rest
1t is precisely because there is at present
much light and much cultivation in France,
that we are led to complain of the want Oh
superior genius" The present situation
of America in point of literature is perhaps
similar to that of Europc, two centuries
since. Although our country abhors every
distinction which savours of monarchy or no.
bility, although our constitution views every
citizen with just and ecul eye, although
our laws are we'll adapted TO dispense eek
act and aqual Justice to all men," yet young
and Just entered the bark of being, she has
not yet been able TO realize every thing shc
has designated, or all .hat her citizens have
right to anticipate. Some of the most
prominent and conspicuous talents in our
country have been fostered in England, and
have been indebted to British soil for their
existencc--msny OF great eminence and in.
trinsick worth, annually emigrate to Amsri-

ME Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexan.
andria are respectfully informed, that
a more singular and surprising instance OF
the wonderful productions of nature, was,
perhaps, never so apparently demonstrated,

tons Of number of reputable families, has

dria, at Mr.. lhornton's, King-street; between
Water and Union-streets.
Miss ROGERS is native of New Hamp-
shire-she was born without the use ct either
hands or feet, but the amends made In the

human belief; without the use Of any OF her
limbs, and with her mouth only, she will
paint elegant Flowers and LANDSCAPES, MIC
Colours, Write, Thread Needle, Gu Pater,
or Goth with the Scissors, held in her mouth
sc. &c.
Those ladies and gentlemen, who are de-
sirous of seeing the displays of genius exhi-
bited by this Young Lady, and one Cf the fine
arts explored in a most extraordinary man
ner, without the natural use Of the hands and
arms, and with the mouth only, are invited
to improve. the present and perhaps the only
opportunity they ever will have, of Rartaking
of this delightful and rational amusement. as
they may rot il great number Of years. it
ever again, behold SO pleasing and wonderful
a sight.
Hours Of admission every day and evening,
Sundays excepted} from nine O'Clock in the
morning till nine in the evening.
Admission twenty. FIVE cents.
