AMERICAN PATRIOT.
THE principles which this PAPER will
support, are designated by its name.—They
arc principles founded upon an immutable ba
sis, which misrepresentation may for a while
obscure, but cannot permanently affect : prin
ciples stamped by eternal experience, approv
ed bv the plainest dictates of common sense,
and recognised and practiced by \\ ASIIIXG
•yON and HAMILTON. They advocate the
honor of our country, not by pitiful parsimo
ny, commercial restrictions, and ridiculous
riiodomontade ; but by manly, adequate and
efficient measures.—They cherish Agricul
ture, and foster Manufactures, not by maim
ing and crushing Commerce, but by extending
towards it a just and liberal protection.—The
operation of these principles ha\ ‘ rendered our
country prosperous; and under their influence
every branch of society were successfully en
gaged in their various occupations—Our
country men received an invigorating encour
igcmentfrom the correct mid honorable mia
aures of Governmental hninisteredbv aW.ASII
INUTON—their purity were developed, and
by appreciating them, wealth and its conse
quent comforts and enjoyments, honor anil
respect with their attending benefits, recom
pensed the justness of their choice of Nation
al Rulers.—’The same cause, the exercise of
the same principles, will produce similar ef
fects. To assist the restoration of this cause
will be a leading object with this Paper.—ln
promoting this desirable end; motitraliutt, can
dor and truth will be rigidly adhered to, anil
all private character inviolably held sacred.
THIS Paper will comment upon with unre
served 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
mislead the people, thereby to maintain the
high posts of honor, which their measures
prove them incapacitated to fill; and the
impropriety and incorrectnesa of their mea
siuv-*, A'-ij4pl*t wiJi disaster and ruin.—To
banish political deception and restore the clear
light of truth ; to expose the petty art ifices
nf intriguing and designing men, and give to
Integrity and Talents their due weight and
influence in society ; and to promote the great
ends of” public utility and general welfare, by
advocating enlightened and enlarged mea
sures, will claim the strict attention of the
Proprietors.
THE pure American sentiments by
which this print will unerringly he guided,
shall receive no pollution from any foreign
predilections: The aggressions of no nation
will be paliatnl, nor the injuries or insults of
any power extenuated ; a just, an ingenuous,
a candid policy towards all nations, which
disdains as unworthy the dignity of a great
republic, and derogatory to the character of
an enlightened government, equivocation or
deoplion, will gladly receive our utmost sup
poet.
SKETCHES of debates in Congress,
Marine Memoranda, interesting Foreign anil
Domestic Intelligence, Public Documents,
and Eloquent Popular Speeches, vs ill receive
a regular insertion. Original Political and
Scientific Essays, will claim our particular
attention—and gentlemen of talents, whose
observation, discernment and acquirements,
renilerthcir opinion and remarks interesting,
are invited to desseminate the productions of
their leisure through this PAPER.

MR. RANDOLPH—AGAIN.
Iti tlu* Debate in tin* House of Representatives
on Mr. Run’s motion to postpone the con
sideration of the petition of the Citizens of
Albany till the 4th day ofJuly next—
Mi*. RANDOLPH rose to explain. Hi*
must have been misunderstood hi the gcntlc
niaii firm Kentucky when he supposed him
to have expressed unwillingness to see a
change effected in the administration of the
government, lie certainly had not expressed
himself to that effect; he htul no such till
ing. On the contrary (for he was not in the
habit of miking a see rot of his political opin-*
ions) he could scarcely conceive of an v change
which would not he tor the better ; since in
bis judgment tin* affairs of this country
vwiuitcvcr lie the object of our policy—wl.c*
tliei* war or peace) could not have- been more
miserably cqnducted than they had h, ‘cu since
the 4th ot Non mbi t last, li was no! to tin*
change, but to tlu* means bv which it so nn and
bk.-ly tube brought about, that, Mr. R. bail
expressed any tiling like repugnance. Il was
to tin* particular means and not the object
that be bad cipressed ihslike. lie did not
wish to S.*e U change offi cted by the oppres
sions and exactions of the government itself,
“h 11 should embody and bring into power a
long depressed party with all its feelings of
iisciitmi nt or ot another description in full
i igor or operation. lie Duel no wish to see a
change brought about by means like this
lie deprecated whatever might contribute to
nourish aiiriTotv anil rancorous party spirit,
übii ii led hem too long the curse of t,V
country And whenever it should be found,
lo use the language of the gentleman from
Kentucky, ( Ur. Johnson) that he was
this or that party, indsicriminatelv just i
tying their follies and their crimes, hi’siioidd
tie. lumsdf obnoxious to the observations
made bv the gentleman from Kentucky, and
not until then. No,sir; (aid Mr. K.)'lc.au
inform that gentleman that there is not a
grcati r moral unpnssiblity conceivable bv the
mind of man, than that 1 should stand m’ itch
stand in such an lation to any party whiit.so
i \ *r. V. oe he unto that man, who cons gns
hiiusi If over toso slavish a bondage !
Thi re was ore remark mail, Dy the ten
tl* man fmm Kentmki which he would “not
alii. tto imsui’dcv.sl:.’ j|. Tlie gentleman bad
cxultiiigly said, that enr the ‘Jo days should
claps those in opposition to the measures of
government would be taught to lie more si-
■ ,t ; that once fairly cut. red ( n the war.
I *-1 Johnson said die g'-nrieman would un
til i* .* and him rightly—ii was to the sort of op
p ..t.i.n lit .vie to tin- loan, winch in his mind
w-s. little lc ss thru treason, that be applied
bis remarks. He bad no alluvion tc lie prp
"•. <ie.,*s of that bouse, j M r . It* ndolph, in
continuation, said he did not very well un
derstand till* gentleman's explanation, Ik*.
enuae ill* was ignorant of the species of oppo.
sion to which thn gentleman refined. Ho
bail always considered a loan to be a vo!tmlttry
thing- Hi bad heard indeed of forced Lam,
but if a loan was meant a voluntary Set on
the part of the lender, be could not compre
hend ti e nature of an opposition to a public
loam True, be had seen it more than hinted
by some of those who will be herea.fti r pah i.
ots of tiu* revolution, by some of those who
lid escaped from the justice oi their own
country in Europe—that after war was de
clared ail the turies won* to be tan*, and and ft a
tlicred. Fur it led been pronounced that tli a
was to be a second war for indcpi mb me— m
order lie supposed, to enable lie* patriots
aforesaid to nmol their illustrious Hums
among those o! the heroes of the revolution
No. 2. As long as he retained a seat on that
floor—and Heaven knows how long that will
be—be should not hesitate lo express himself
with the utmost freedom,nolwir'sn.mliiijraiiy
invidious personalities tov.hiih .trim.hi sub
ject him. He disci timed any allusion in this
remark to the gentleman from Kciiiuckv.
The gentle man bad i nilenvoi rd to con
vict him of the charge of inconsistency on the
subject of embargo ; quoting a pas. * n* in a
speech of his as for b.,ck as M; reilßoC
when the ground w.,s first broker. \*. h. nt,;
since produced so many successive c p.; c.f
restrictive measures. “To such ad a-ge of
inconsistency at* that he should hard” b.la
the trouble to make a detinue, lit > i.ur( !v
the gemli men would recolii ct tl.a’ siuie that
pt riod We bud been under the discipline of. n
imbargo for almost eighteen worth*. I.\h.,t
be not sufficient to cure the Lmbargo M ,j \a.
if that dose has faded ill its Hi. ct on anv ill: il
be would only say la was an incon . t
ject, and ought to be dealt wi'b a •coniii.e ,
by being dirmirsed to the lurqiiial of incur:*-
bli s. Rut for the last Embargo, all F,uih:.ri*o
for 60days preparatory towur would Duve ‘be
••fleet of which Mr. it. had spoken six yen s
ago, and for which this was osti nsibly laid.
Hot Ihe doleful can: rier.ee of the lamb r.-o of
1308—9 drove the piopk* ore and al—Whig
snd Tori, Monarchist and Democrat; Feder
alist anil Republican—to escape as from a
house on fin*. Suppose in a certain slagt **f
a disease a regular physician to preset;!*'! the
warm batli, and hi i sturdy nurses should p' l "*
sist in pl'liigiug the unhappy patient *u*o a
cauldron and parboiling him 48 hours; R
you think von could ever prevail upon the
sick man, (supposing him to survive the ope
ration) or the physician, to agree to aim'll'l
exhibition of tin* same remedy ’ No s i*, a
burnt Child dreads the fire. The w ord r.*n
bai*go bus become more ominous tbari tl >■
croaking of a raven. It allies all class* r, unit
descriptions of people, and all the fruits of
the earth perish before it—like lliedisoli lion
of those Locusts vve bear of in IVneriffi*. It
is the most compendious system of devasta
tion and destruction ever invented—a mast, r
piece of human ingenuity. Xt the t’u re
terrc'l to by the gentleman from Ker.li ckj ,
the famous experiment had new t* Ir en made,
or (lie believed) thought of by any human be
ing In the world.
The remarks made on the subject of ma
■ ■jeritn and minority were in tlu ir cliaractcr s<*
much like those to which be bad been acei.s
turned to listen in the spring of 1800, from
the n embers of the then majority that tl:-*y
reminded h m (as. well hs other circumstan
ces which forced themselves on his chain a
tion) of old times. Then, was the same it.-
