WE prclent as a fubjed of an alarming nature to the liber ties cf a free people, the con duct of the representatives in Congrels from this date, w ho, at the lad eledion of Prcddent and Vice Prefident, voted for Aaron Burr, in preference to Thomas Jeflerfon, as Prefident of the United States ; becaufe, in fo doing, they aded inoppo dtion to the w r eil known fenti ments and feelings cf an immenfe majority of their conftitucnts, who never widied or thought of Aaron Burr as Piefident, though numbers cf them widied him Vice Prefident; becaufe, by thus acting they evinced the fpirit of pcrfonal pique or refentmert againd Thomas Jefferfon, rather than the exercife of that found dderation which ought always to govern men who hold a leg;da tive office by the dee voice of a free people ; becaufe, they have dared to follow the didates of private motives, incompatible (to fay no word of them) with that refped and refponfibility to the free men whom they repre fented, and with whom, in com mon with all the red of the free men of the United States, the fovereignty of Ameiica efifenti ally belong ; and in contempt of public opinion, the great guar dian of our conditution and cur rights. We give this to the world as our unequivocal fentiments on that degrading tranfadion ; and to (hew that thefe reprefentatives have aded contrary to cur abso lute knowledge, againd the o pinions and wiihes of the people of tills diftrid. We alfo declare, that wc hold them not fir, here after, at any period, or in any fituation, to fill any office flow ing from the iuffrages of a free republican people. W c rather confider them fit to (hine in courts, or hold places in thole countries where defpo tifm, royalty or aridocracy, trample on the rights of man. Wc therefore requedthat thefe prefentments be pubiifiied in the State Gazette. W ill 1 am Hutchinson, Foreman. Aaron Gates, Robert Gleland, Samuel Evans, Thomas W.

Public indignation is at length rouied by the villainy of a gang cf thieves, whole infamous ad venturesexceed the depredations of buccaniers or the pirates of Barbary. For fcveral nights pail, a gang denominated— u Georgia men,” but more properly infernal .r, have prowl ed the Bretts of this city, kid napping every black perfonthey could lay their hands on.

But fo flagrant have their deeds of cruelty grown, lb notorious their moll infamous violations of the laws both of God and their country, that the eye of an indignant public is now fixed upon them. A num ber of the humane have affoci ated together to unhoufe a ncß of villains fo highly difgraceful to a civilized community, and the police are determined to be aftive in aiding their laudable exertions. One of t-hofe kid nappers, and for the -honor of our country no American bleed flows through his veins, has been detected and lodged in prifon ; one cr two, aware cf the fnea fures chat are taken, have died the Bate, and in a fhert time, with proper efforts, the city will it is hoped, be purged of this foul plot.
