every impartial man as wanton and unprin-
oipled calumny. We have not received cent
from Gov. Coles, since the passage of the re
solution on the subject of convention. We
have had no communication with him, directly
Or indirectly, since that time nor is he, even,
subscriber to our paper. What confidence
then, can be placed in those, who would wish
to impose such untruths upon the public We
have had no negotiation, nor have we received
cent of money, in consequence of the part
we have taken, which We would not be per.
fectly willing for the whole world to know.
We can confidently appeal to our paper,
since its first publication, for proof of our uni
form and persevering opposition to slavery
and we are happy to say, that, since the ques-
ton has assumed its present aspect, we
have received, and are daily receiving, the
most liberal support to our establishment.
Our subscribers, in various parts of the state,
have increased astonishingly. And this, we re-
gard with the more pleasure, in consequence of
the increased opportunity it affords us, of OPP
posing with more effort, and on larger thea
tire, the introduction of Slavery with all its de.
leterious and demoralzing consequences. In
vain should we attempt this, without the asss.
lance of others. We therefore, consider that
those, who honestly concur with US in opinion,
ought TO contribute something towards the sup
port ofso just and righteous cause.
~.
opinions had long been avowed. We have
not changed. Can all others say as much !
Those who cannot, ought to feel extreme
delcscy in imputing to us such unworthy mo-
tives, whilst they. themselves, are suddenly
found the advocates of measures that they
have heretofore disapproved.
Before those editors undertake to call upon
us to explain our conduct towards any indivi-
dual with whom we may now act, in relation
to the question of convention, we asl, them
10 set us the example, by explaining the nature
ofthe quarrel of the Rev. Mr.. Kinney with one
of them the manner in which it was settled,
and the nature of their present connection
Win INC lCNSTSHtl SeiltieDeH referred TO-
We differ with those editors on the subject
ola convention. We would prefer to discuss
the question upon its merits avoiding all per-
sonaities with them. But, if they are for a
different course, we say to them, without Ell
Their fear, or desire to provoke them,
Lay on Macdulf,
Andd-- behewho first cries, Hold 'nough."

The Portland gazette. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1818-1824, 1823-09-02

Mr.. NILES, editor Of the Baltimore Weekly
Register, has the following paragraph in his
paper of the 26th ult. -
1t is the opinion of many, and certain
ly mine, that there is greater amount OF
political intrigue now existing in the United
States than ever was before. have had a
pretty near view Of some Of the supposed hid
den things that are going on, and do verify
believe, just as surely as that shall die and
account for my acts, that qHasi bargains haze
been made, Gs for the sale Of votes, and that
these bargains lciH be brought into caucus,
ifeomPosed Of The members Of the present Con
gress As will not purchase any mans liz.
erty, no one shall sell mine, If can proven,
it. What is it to me whether Tom is in of
fee and Dick is out? They each equally live
on the proceeds ofmy labour. But the most
despicable class Of men living, is the tribe o.
persons who affect right to rule and govern
the opinions Of others, and denounce. as polt
ical heresy, all that does not come up 20 the
standard of their own will, and subserve then
private and personal purposes"

had an accession Of force say in ali Of about
5000 good troops, that have menaced Lima for
some time. The Columbian troops were daily
arriving in transports from Guayaquil, and al
the moment of our informant's sailing, a Co.
lumbar schooner Of war entered the harbour
of Callao, in which it was supposed Gen. Boil
war had embarked, as he was momentarily
expected. The Peruvian government had Sc
lected him to act as generaissimo for the next
campaign with his own troops, which were
really good and well appointed, amounting to
between 4 and 5000. In addition TO the Pc
ruyian army, and their CHILEAN Allies, these
would comprise force of 10000 troops. A
decisive blow to the hopes of the royalists is
generally expected, from the consumma.e
talents of this veteran soldier.

FROM BRAZIL.

By an arrival at Boston from Pernamhuco,
we learn that on the lst and I'd of July, Gen.
Madeira evacuated Bahia, and embaI ked his
troops on board the Portuguese vessels of
war and merchantmen in the harbor, and
sailed Immediately. The Brazilian Army
then took possession Of the city. Lord Coch-
ran, who was cruizing off the harbor, gave
chase to the Portuguese, and before the 9th
succeeded in capturing l3 of the merchant
men, transports, which, after disabling, either
by starting their water, cutting away their
manmasts or taking most of their sails from
them, ordered them back to Bahia, or the
dearest ports, and continued in chase of the
men of war. This account was brought to
Pernambuco, by the brig Of war of Bahia,
with four large prizes in her charge. Per-
nambuco was illuminated three nights on the
receipt of the news. During the stay of the
Bahia she captured BY her boats, ship and
brig under Portuguese colours, and brought
them in. Before the Bahia arrived the Por-
tuguese flag was admitted at Pernambuca.
II was presumed that the Portuguese feet
intended to stop at Maranham for supply Of
provisions, and it was supposed Lord Coch-
ran would succeed in capturing nearly all
the fleet. The English vessels had been ~
ing at the Moro, with flour, waiting for the
fall of Bahia, and permission had been given al
Rio to load for that place, but they were un-
der bonds not to go in until it was given up.
