From the Wilmington ADDRESS 0/ /As Committee of Correfpondence [ of Kent County , to the Free Etttton of said County. (Concluded from our Lnft.) The people of the U. States, “ steeped in poverty to the lips,” and turning with disgust from an administration who had abused their confidence, determined in the year 1800, to exert their power in dis. roifiing thofc men from office, who had only at heart individual aggrandizement, and the interells of monarchy. They accordingly placed in the chair of the ge neral government, Mr. Jefferfon, who through every public tranfaftion of his life, had approv ed himfelf their friend and benefaftor. Tho* eleded and intended by the citizens of the United States, as their chief executive tnagillrate ; yet the disorganizing intrigues of fcderalifm were pradifed till the union was (haken to its centre, to prevent his assuming the place to which he was fairly delegated. The pppofttion to his eledion was at last yield cd in a manner, which ftrangcly indicated that the federalifts would oppose his ad ministration at the hazard of ruining their country. However, the timely aid of the people was given by placing such ma jorities in both houses of congrcfs, as were iu.i cient to second the Prclident in his vi ws of economical reform. Since the inauguration of Mr. Jeffer fon, the United States have exhibited a fbcdaclc of uninterrupted tranquility and * nappinefs. Not a citizen " has breathed the vapors of a dungeon,” for any thing he may have cither written or spoken a gainst the government. Opprdfion and perfection have hidden their deformed heads. The laws of the union and of the states are in wholcfomc operation. Our tyoly religion is in a state of prolpcrity in every part of the country ; perhaps une qualled since the fettlemcnt of the weftern world—crops unparalleled in their abun dance, cover the ground in ejery possible direction, and general plenty gladdens e very dillriftof our beloved country. Under the guidance of Mr. Jefferfon, such economics arrangements have been adopted as will long be felt and remem bered, by the people of these states. The army and navy, which created so many dependents on the late Prcfident, and coll the United States such enormous sums ot money, arc now placed upon a rcfpeflable peace eftabliftiment. Thousands of peo pie are difmifled, who vwre fattening on the treasury at the cxpcnce of the people, without rendering the smallest degree of public fcrvice, ■ The excifc system, which had excited such repeated commotion in various di- Arifts of the United States, and had near, fy produced the horrors of civil war, has been entirely done away, and fix hundred salaried officers abolilhed. There is now no tax upon Jiamps, upon carriages, upon fills, upon auctions, or upon refined Ju gars. These taxes were annihilated up. on principle ; which (hould fecurc to ad rainiftration the lasting gratitude of the people. The experience of hiftory teaches us, that when once a government introduces the praftice of cxcifing, as the imaginary wants of the government may increase, almost all the comforts of life will become the objetls of taxation—we have beheld this principle pradlifed to a frightful ex tent in England. But the federalifts have objected, that while the internal taxes have been difeon tinued, there still remain those upon brown sugar, coffee and* fait, and that for the relief of the poor people, who live in the constant use of those articles, the duties upon them fliould likewise be difeontinued —to these objedions, we reply, that brown sugar, coffee and fait are imported articles, and the duties upon them are founded in juftjee, because these articles are consumed by every class of citizens in this country; and we rely upon the sound ness of this principle, that, ** that mode of taxation which will practically operate on all clafics of people in a community, is the mod excellent for its wisdom and policy.” These articles are consumed by the whole body of the American people— the rich and the poor, and the consumers pf them paying the duties, it results, that ho one class of the people can be peculiar ly aggrieved. Another important retrenchment of public burdens have been effefted by the abolition of foreign embassies to courts and o-overnments in Europe, with which the United States ought never to have had any * Salt, the duty laid upon this article of impofi, tuas opposed by all the Repub - Leans on the floor gs Congress, and carri . ed only by a majortity of the federal Humbert, I political concern. The more Interceurre we have with European countries, the more we (hall be affimulatfcd to them in manners and habits, which will be always at hostility with our republican inllituti. ons. Betides, we humid avoid connex ions, which might in any event, involve our country in war or difficulty. By va cating, these embassies, a considerable ex pence |p ifaved, and-the patronage attach, ed to tnek, difearded. A judicial fyftero, which was created in the moments of the late adtni- was intended to provide places who had devoted their time and t%hts in supporting the mca- Aires of Mr. Adams, has been put down, and an cxpence thereby saved of upwards of thirty thousand dollars per annum to the people of the United States. In short, fellow citizens, the time and talents, and the attention, of the present administra tors of our government, have been, and (till are, sedulously employed by every fpccies of economy, to lefferi the burdens of the people, and to prorffcSte the general happiness and welfare of the United States. The candidates who are offered for Representatives to Congress, are Ce/ar A, Rodney , and James A. Bayard. Mr, Rodney has been educated and brought up in principles of Democracy, and under the lessons of a wife intelligent parent, those principles ; n early life were deeply impressed upon his mind. We have Teen him in our (fate Legi flat arc, for fix years palt, exhibiting all the traits of a candid, virtuous, enlightened politician. On the fuhjcft of Government his knowledge is exrenfive and correft—as a public Speaker, his elocution is flowing, easy and agreea ble. Mr. Bayard has been the supporter of the mod of those racafures of Prefidcnt Adams, which have been imperfeftly fleetched in this address; we have also beheld him at the head of that party who opposed the wholesome plans of the pre sent administration. For these reasons, we cannot —we will nor, support his e- Icttion. To his accomplifliments as a Lawyer and an advocate, we are ready to yield him the tribute of our praise—We (hall support Mr. Rodney’s election with our mod animated exertions. An observation or two on the conduft of the federalids in this date, and we shall clofc our address. The baneful precedent let by Mr. Adams of excluding from of fice those who were not of his own feft, was eagerly adopted in this date by those who have heretofore been entruded with the executive power. It is this conduft, that has given to party spirit keen edge t which has in a great degree poisoned the fountains of social intercourse. We have known those who were in the higher em ployments of government, denouncing the democrats with the odious appellation of enemies to their country. We have seen them refufe an office to a man, who was legitimately eletted by the express voice of the people. When the citizens of Dela ware had fairly ele&ed the present chief magidrate, by a majority of voles fuffi cient to place in his hands the executive authority of the date, we witnessed an opposition to his inauguration upon grounds as flimfy as they were (hameful. And since he has been in the exercise of his of fice, a number of the public documents are injuriously withheld. Fellow. Citizens, These are abuses which call loudly for your interpofition— with you resides the power of correftion, and you are responsible to yourselves, and pollerity, for its faithful exertion.
