through (even years of a rjrfe fortune, to
obtdiM the blcfiings of 1 iberty, there are
i.one that more fully deserve our applause
t un Thomas ffierfon. This da) recals
to our minds the actions of this ineflinvtble
i an, with tenfold force. He it was that
penned the Declaration of Independence,
i is fentiment3 have been uniformly the
f-.nc. Whether we view him as penning
that immortal intlrument, or observe him
v. hiUl negociating at Paris ; whether v. e
behold him a fitting at the right hand of
W aihington, as Secietary of State ; or at
a more recent day contemplate him soaping
the dcltiny of this vail empire, we cannot
lec in him aught else than the genuine Re
pubican and the candid Patriot. As fu :h
we venerate him ; and as such he commands
•ur elleem and affections.
With these recollections firmly imprefled
wpon our minds fellow-citizens, It t us eve'r
Judd in remembrance, that to continue free
we have only to be jul't to ourselves and true
to the Conllitution of our country. Let
us not be ridiculed out of our riglits, nor be
induced to rtlinquifh that name which be
longs to us. It was the people that declar
ed Independence, and the people mull main
tain it. And however it may wound egot
ilin and pride, and mortify vanity ; not-with
standing it may be mentioned with disdain
in the houses of Arillocrats, let us maintain
the Sovereign Rights ofthe people, and render
them refpeclable in the eyes of all govern
ments in all Countries.
I'ram the Trenton True American.
Mffrs, 1 ’/ifon & Blackwell. —l happened
to be on the federal grand jury in
Trenton, forne time in the reign of terror, I
believe it was about twelve months prior
to Mr. Adams’s going out of office, the
court was held at the Hate house ; judge
Chafe delivered a charge to the jury, and
afterwards afkcd the jury if they knew of
any business to come before the court ? They
informed him that they knew of none.—~
Judge Chafe delired the juvy to retire to
fome place where he would meet them in
about an hour and an half, where, he fold,
it might be, or was probable fome business
migh come before us. The judge a. u the
jury agreed that they would meet at the ci
ty hotel in Trenton. I believe it was
near two hours before the judge came to us.
The judge took his feat and delivered ano
ther (peach to the jury ; and after he had
ended, he alked the jury if any business had
come before them ? They told him there
was none. He then told the jury there
were fome abominable papers published, &
without subordination no government could
fland. I would now call his honor’s atten
tion to fome truly abominable papers, such
as Bradford’s o( Philadelphia and others
that have called upon the people to ** draw
their swords” againll their government ;
and I would ask him how his late charge, in
which he airumes the power to censure
and denounce the measures of congress and
the preTident, comports with his former
declaration, that without subordination no
government could (land i

at present they are 18 republicans and only

WASHINGTON CITY July 8.
The Fourth of July was a proud dar to
tle ’ President. On that day in the year
feventv-fix, after having drawn the Declara
tion of Independence, with his illutlnous
<>-pr,triots he pledged his life, his fortune,
and his iacred honor” to support the inde
pendence ot his country ; and to maintain her
liberties, On the fame day in the year
1803 he reapt the merit reward of his labors
in the wide spread joy of millions at an event
which hiiiory will record amoag the 610 ft
splendid in our ‘annals. Happy in having’
fuccefofully asserted the rights of his fe low
citizens from foreign danger, he is now not
less happy, in having maintained and ex
tended them amidlt the hidings of peace.
The verv dav that informed us of the re
commencement of European feenes of blood,
incalculable in extent and durations, announ
ced the removal from our horizon of the
only cloud that threatened our peace.—
Let us hope that in our feelings inipired bv
this event we (hall be “ all federalifts, all
republicans.”
By theccifion of Louiiiam, we foal! pre
serve peace, and acquire a territory of
great extent, fertility, and local impor
tance* However great tue latter object
may be, the former is of inellimab'.e value,
and it is principally in vdatl hi tc it that the
importance of the ccffi >n fi to be ellimated.
A nation, whofi- palliation is doubled in
twenty.four years whose resources increase
with Hill greater rapidity, an • which enjoys
a free government, only ‘quires peace to
elevate her in a few years above the dorms
which with so little intermiflion, agitate the
European world.
National confidence has hitherto attend
ed our adminftration in all their leading
measures. This great event adds powerful
reasons for its continuance. Great as were
the hop-.-s of pat riot i fin, they have been
more than realifed. We have (beared our
rights by pacific means: truth and reason
have been more powerful than the sword.
We omitted to notice, in our lafr, that
the Prcfident, had furnifned the company
at Stelle’s with a supply of Mammoth
Cheese, which was alio difiributed among
the ladies, and gentleman who waited upon
him in the morning. Good judges are of
opinion that it. h-’S greatly improved, and
that it only requires time to be an excellent
cheefe* It is in a Hate of high prefer vat ion/-
The cession of Louisiana will be con
sidered as one of the mofi important events
in the hiHory of this country, that has occur
red fi nee the declaration of independence.
Mr. Jefferfon’s prefidenc) will be hailed by
the future inhabitannts of that extensive
and delightful country, as the period *of its
birth, and his memary will be regarded
with refpeft for having directed the negocia
tion, which terminated thus advantageously
for his country.
While the cefnonof Louisiana is regarded
as honorable to our executive and admini
llration, we fliould not hesitate in awarding
to Chancellor Livingfion, the credit due to
his diplomatic talents, and to the attentfon
and ability he has exerted in this negotiation.
Ihe small wits of the day have jefied at
Mr. Livingfion’s deafnefs, and queried how
he Would figure in a cabinet interview with
Bonaparte. They now find that he has
at lead had his eyes well open, and that he
has carefully watched the moment of fink
ing with the mofi advantage to his country.
Mr. Monroe, it is presumable, has now
gone to the Spanish court to compieat the
ofqeft of his-miflion by negociating for the
possession of the Floridas There is little
doubt but he will be as fuccefsful at Madrid,
as Mr. Livingfion has been at the court of
Paris. Morn. Chron .

A king’s health drank tuilh an apology.
A company being aflembled at a tavern
on a coronation day, an alderman who was
present proposed the king’s health, and
drank it kneeling on one knee. His depu
ty, who was also presented and drank next,
dropt down on both knees. “ How now
(cries the alderman,) why do you drink it
on both knees ?” “One (replied he,) is
bent in honour of the king, and the other
to a(k God forgivenefs for doing so.”
[ This story reminds us of a circumstance
which occurred at a tavern in London,
where Horne Tooke prefidcd,’ and the elo
quent and benevolent Gerald, was prefent—
that gentlemen being requested to give a
toast, laid “ God save the King.” A con
siderable disapprobation was exprefled by
■ the company, which Horne Tooke silenced
!by declaring that his friend would, he was
lure, iatiiiactorily explain his meaning, if the
toast was drank ; it was done and a general
cry for an explanation arose—Gerald calm
ly laid, “ Citizens I give the toast with
a full knowlege of the despicable heart of
him, we wished God to save, ana from a full
