an alarming letter was read by the director
of the customs from Mons. Calm, the
director general at Paris. A small Ralti-

the Garoune, in real distress, (bound to St.
Sebastian with cargo of tobacco, and
was seized by the custom house, because
she was less than 100 tons bnrthen, and
consequently could not bring tobacco into

Frederick the Great once observed,
that if he should ever wish to curse
Province, he would appoint PAiioso-
fiber to govern it. How far the United
States have exhibited this maxim, let

wer. The advocates of his election told
the people, that the burdens imposed
ppon them by federal rulers would be
lghtened by placing democrats in Of
fee {; that there would be great dcduc-
ions in the civil list and the expenA-
es for armies and navies would be redu-
ccd. But the contrary has been the
fact. Salaries have not been reduced
The army has been increased, and its
Commander has expended enormous
sums. A fleet of nearly 900 useless
gunboats have been built at the ex-
pense Of million or more Of the peo-
pies money-and what good have they
done The folly of this specimen of
democratic wisdom is now apparent to
a majority in Congress, and there is
now before that body resolution for
selling these " mud turtles" Sill a
majority of the citizens Of this country
say amen to all these things. How long
this delusion will continue is impossi-
bic to say but there always will be of

VIII ind their account in deceiving the
people. Let designing men assert as
often as they please, that the policy Of
our democrats, ever since they have
had the administration of the general
government has been to lessen the tax
es of the middle and poorer classes of
citizens, which they pay towards the
support OF government, the contrary is
the fact. The tax on houses was paid
almost wholly by the rich, while the
poor man had nothing to pay. The du-
W on carriages was paid principally by
the rich. The repeal of all the internal
revenues was greatly in favor OF the
rich, and against the poor. Yet the lea
ding democrats were constantly telling
the people how economical * humane
their policy was. Let the d-magogues

Latest from England.
Monday, April 80, 1910.

On Tuesday last, the ship Two Bro
theirs, burlington, of Gardiner, (Me.)
arrived at this port, in 50 days from the
Downs. The intelligence by this yes
sci is but one day later than that recei-
yed by former arrivals. The captain
reported, that it was generally believed
in England, that the U. ). frigate John
Adams, which had sailed for France on
her return to this country, would bring
ont the articles OF reaty between G..
Britain and America.
We doubt whether any formal Crea-
IL has as yet been agreed upon between
the two countries but the former in
tslligence on this subject affords abun
dant evidence for believing, that our
government have now a favorable ON.
portunity of settling all our differences
with that country, if they are sincerely
disposed to effect so desirable an OBJ
iect. On this subject, it is understood.
that our Executive are now in possess
sion of the principal facts, as the Juno,
arrived some days since, brought du-
plicates of the dispatches which are on
board the John Adams.
On the 4th of March, very severe
gale of wind was experienced at Cadiz,
which continued five days. Several
men of war, and number of merchant.
men were driven on shore and lost. See
particulars on first page.
Cadiz, on the 22d of March was Wig
orously defended against the attacks Of
the French. The force in the city was
estimated at $4,000 men, 5000 Of
whom were English troops. The a.
mount of the French army is different
ly stated. Some accounts fix it at
$4,000, others at $4,000.
The Spanish supreme power was
vested in a regency, of which Castanos
was chief. The last accounts make no
mention of the Frcnch'having invaded
Portugal.
The late favorable news from Eng
land is by no means pleasing to the
warhawks, who have been long striving
for war with that country. What IS
worse still, the late accounts from
France represent Bonaparte more hos
tile towards Commerce and the United
States than ever.

feel it my duty to address a few remarks
to you as 10 some reports lately circulated,
designed to excite unjust alarms and fears,
merely to promote party and political pur-
poses. ] mean the idle and wicked report 5,
that our federal rulers intend to take away or
abridge our religious freedom. Such re-
ports, think, are idle ant wicked because
there is not the least foundation for them,
and because these stories, believe, are cir
cul~ted to answer parry vie7rs even at the
expence Of truth. That cause certainly
must be bad, which needs such support /;
and those men must be wicked, who re port
false stores Of their brethren and fellow
Christians.
If l thought there was any truth in these
reports, | would join in opposing those per-
sons who wish to take away our religious
libeftes, and for the same reason, that is for
the love Of truth, must blame those artful
men who raise such false stories.
1t was pretended several years ago, by a
few ambitious men, who do any thing TO pro
mote their own party and selfish views, that
our federal rulers would destroy the religious
privileges oftbe people and make Bishops oy-
er us 1t was said Gov. Strong would do this.
The story is again revived and propagated
with more zeal than ever. But where is the
evidence to support the charge Is there
proof Of any such plan or design Surely,
know Of none and therefore cannot help
thinking they are bad men, who circulate
such idle reports to defame and injure good
characters among the federalists.
We well know, that the federalists were
the trainers Of, and have always supported
the Constitution and this expressly recogniz-
es and secures to the people the free enjoy
meat of their religious opinions and modes
Of worship. CO.. StronS and federal genera
court had the power and made laws for US,
six or seven years. And it is fact, that all
that time, BAPTIST AMI Nethodist societies
were incorporated whenever applied for. as
they ought to be upon constitutional princi
pies.
The Constitution indeed requires the reo
pie to provide for the support of christian
IN > ter. and public christian worship but

L will now into:m you, wherein I think
the federalists ami leading democrats differ
on THIS subject. Tie. f:ierallsts have always
sad the Constitution Il right in requiring
tile people TO support christian worship and
institutions of some form and denomination
(leaving il however to the people TO choose
uAeIr own sentiments and cere monie.) But
many OF the democrats (and can name some
II 1t be necessary are opposed to The Con
stnuuon for this very reason, that it does re-
CURE the people to support any religion !:
and they a., that the people, if they choose,
should do wholly without religious worship
and teachers ofeve:y description.
Ihis, do know, TO be the opinion of many
leading democrats. They condemn that ar
ticle o. the constitution which provides for
the support Of christian worship of snv sort
whilst the federalists generally (perhaps
not all of Them approve of the constitution
IN this respect, as we'll as all others, and
think it necessary for the people to support
some denomination Of teachers anG 10 attend
some christian worship or other as our faith
ers always did since the first settlement Of
the country.
We are told that Cen Cobb is for forcing
the people in religious matters. But this
really appears to me great mistake For
he only said, that government had right to
the services of the people, and fit was ne
cessary for the safety of the state in case of
instruction &c might order the citizens to
go here or there, or to set in this or that
place, even in meeting house as we'll as
any other place, but added, at the same time
that he meant this not with regard to reli.
gious but civil affairs, that he liked the
constitution as it was, that he considered it
folly TO attempt to bind or force the con-
ciences of men, and that he hoped never to
see the time in this land when the people
would be forced to receive or practise any
one particular form or sect of religion.
The story about Gen. Cobb then amounts
TO nothing. 1t is great mistake Gas first
reported) or base Misrepresentation. Be
side we all know he has ever been the friend
of religious as well as of civil freedom and
Of the constitution.
am unwilling to think the democrats
wish to destroy religion or take away our
religious privileges. But it is fact, that
most OF the Deists among us are of the de-
mocratic party. lido fear, that if we are TO
have Bishops put over us, it is most likely to
be done by Mr.. Gerry, who is of the Epis-
copal church, which has an order of Bishops.
and maintains them to this day, wherever
they are the majority. And though | am
willing the Episcopalan church should eniov
its freedom and privileges, hope never to
have it prevail in this country.
