I THE principles which this PAPER will
lipport, are designated by its name.—They
It.’ principles founded upon an immutable bil
ls, which misrepresentation may fora while
Lcure, but cannot permanently affect; prin-
Sples stamped by eternal experience, approv
fibv the plainest dictates of common sense,
hd recognised and practiced by Y\ ASHING
mV and HAMILTON. They advocate the
jor.or of our country, not by pitiful parsimo
v, commercial restrictions, and ridiculous
Rodomontade ; but by manly, adequate and
ifficient measures.—They cherish Agricul
ure, and foster Manufactures, not by maim
ng and crushing Commerce, but by extending
awards it a just and liberal protection—Tiie
[icrationof these principles have rendered our
oußtry prosperous; and under tlieir influence
■very brunch of society were successfully en-
Baged in tlicir various occupations.—Our
Hnmtrymen received an invigorating encour-
Bjement from the correct and honorable mea-
Bires offiovernmcntad'.ninis'LC-redby -W \SII-
B.VGTON—tlieir purity were developed, and
By appreciating them, wealth and its conse
quent. comforts and enjoyments, honor and
Bspect with their attending benefits, recom-
Bensed the justness of their choice of Nation-
Kißulers—The same cause, the exercise of
■lie same principles, will produce similar ef
■Fects. To assist the restoration of this cause
■will be a leading object with this Paper.—ln
■romoting this desirable end; moderation, can
mifcr and truth will be rigidly adhered to, ami
■all private character inviolably held sacred.
I THIS Paper will comment upon with unre-
Iscrved liberality, public men and public mea
sures, and will endeavor to place in a clear
■point of view, the misconduct of the public
■servants in attempting to cajole, deceive and
Imislcud the people, there by u> maintain the
high posts of honor, which their measures
Wwe them incapacitated to fill; and the
■impropriety and incorrectness oi tlieir nu -
[sures, fraught with disaster and ruin.—To
[banish political deception and restore the clear
I light of truth ; to expose tile petty artifices
lof intriguing and designing men, and give to
Integrity and Talents tlieir due weight and
influence in society ; and to promote die great
ends of public utility and general welfare, by
advocating enlightened and enlarged mea
sures, will claim the strict attention of the

Ivhich this print will unerringly be guided,

DEBATE
In the House of Representatives, hf tht
U. States , in secret session.
I'rviui, April 3.
(I urnished for the Philadelphia Register hv‘
a number of Congress.)
Mr Blcekcr, in a speech of about twenty
minutes, made an able, solemn and impres
sive address to tile house, urging them td
ponder— to desist from the dangerous course
they were pursuing, and fonvarned them of*
the calamitous consequences that would ini
evitnbly result.
Mr. Mitcliill, ofNew-York said, in viewing
political subjects and dangers, some are ini
dined lo look through political microscopes
which diminish them ; others, mislead by
their imaginations, look through political
telescopes, and are as apt to magnify and en
hance them. He, for me, was for vietvingour
situation with his naked upticks; for looking
at it as it rcallv is. Me could not he Considered
as less alive to the interests anil happiness of
(lie inhabitants of that city, respecting whoni
so much sensibility has been expressed, than
any other gentlemen. There 4 Were his m.
timate friends, connections, and what little
property he possessed. No one could feel
move for tlieir sufferings under commercial
restrictions, or in case of assaults upon it by
the enemy. And if he was to consult only
his personal sensibilities, they were all lii
favor Os the people of that country. \i itii whom
we aie to cuter m o a conflict. He. has no’
prejudice against them. H ■ there received
his education. He has lived in North and
South Britain. From actu. lreskki.ee lie had
knowui them from the Grampian Hills to
Dover. He know ns them, however, to be a
pro <l, overbearing nation.—From former re
sdince, and also from recent intelligence,
(andthat w ithin a fi-w days by late ainvalsj
he know ns they consider us a sort of gem ra
tion whom they have a right to despise.—YVe
arc vieved in Uiis unworthy degruoed situ. -
tion, not on account of our wain of resources
or population ; but.because they beiievfe we
cam stand together—that we hat? no lotfi
deuce m ourselves—that we cannot lead ar
mies into then- countries. Their object bus
been since the year 1806, o d.vide and dis
tract us, and to prevent our taking efficient
mvasu.es. Sir, what In s been tlie cause of
our present condition .’ I . is well known, tint
in 18h6, he was made the organ of his consti
tuents, as other gentlemen were for Salem
and other camniercial piaces, Vo present to
Congress their plaints and wailings, on ac
count of their grit vanfccs they suffered upon
tiic subject of carrying colonial produce, and
the continuity of the voyage. The uixh.vvs
of tins house will prove tins. Tiny decreed
they shotildbe riihud if tin It.uish dour.re
should be countenanced. The government
were goaded by these applications for n.iitf.
The government began, and Continued wi.h
pacific measures, until we have go into oi r
present situation.
Mr. M. said he would aver, there was never
a time when there was more internal goad,
more real practical independence, more what
the heart desites and can enjoy, in anv civ.i
ived nation, tliaii we now enjoy. A population
of seven millions the’ artssud manu
factures flourishing in a high degree
are we then to be frightened Sh> listen
to the pclilici t iereech-owis ? W e are
the happiest nation on earih. He could to
be sure, with a melancholy countenance, go
into any family, and give a lecture on the
weakness of the flesh, on the caLnntieg of
human life, and a miserable exit. But how
much better are we off than anv other people?
Oor lot has fallen to us in a pleasant p, a ce)
and we have a goodly lier.lage.
lie saitl he recollected win nhe was a boy)
that he ; nd lies companions would get louiid
the fi'-es.iii, of a winter’s iv. niug, and talk of
ghosts, till they wi rc all afraid to go to bed ;
arid the lug .hi ions of the daiq. e r
of a war With England, he thought was oi a
pa ce with the childish alluded
to..
YVitb regard to the nation with whom tve
are to contend, and whose prowess is ,-.< t. n i
hie in tin opinion of some, he is p : -,i/d io see
gentlemen around him, who dared m lr/4 p,
enter into the conflict, when we had a pe
pulution of only three millions. He did not
think anV Ml would he afraid to face a litt.ori
whose lnad is of such character one who
was, some years since expela cl a Jockei Club
and who was lately turned out of doors for
his unworthy conduct to his neighbour's wife;
(A clapping of hunch) The power v. ith which
we are to contend, isSnot so terrific and al
mighty as is imagined,
Sir, we have intelligence hv the last mails
from the Capes of Virg.nia, that the vessels
of that nation are capturing cut’s irom*".he.
Chesapeake to France, widen two ieaghi of ■
our coast, laden with produce of out own s<M‘
and not contraband of war.
Mr. M. said lie was of opinion ih s measure
ought to be accompanied with another—wi<h
letters of marque and reprisal. We ought to
let the cannon accompany the flag. The voice
of the cannon ought lo speak the voice of t lu
nation, under the stripes of the nation. \Ve
ought to have no party feeling. He wished
the country might tie united—that all petty
divisions about ins and octs may be put aside
and that an united front may be opposed.
He said he gave his assent to the measure,
less under the correctness of his understand
ing, than from a respect to the authorities of
the countryi When it came recommended
by the executive, he did npt feel proud enough
to differ—Re therefore yielded to what he
thought the rational, proper wish of olhe s.
Asa republican, he would comply with the
opinion of the majority.
It is upon our divisions, and the imbrcili'y
of our councils, that our enemy build her
hopes. He believes that gennh men who have
opposed our measures, have dope it from honi
ourabie motives ; but our measures are good
enough if we were united. All w. want is •
form a phalanx. If united, the work is 6e,
and we would then tike a rank amor c
nations. But how are ws as a nation ? <ff
Ant even get a National Seng, without de
