It may not be unacceptable ■
at this time, when tjhe new |
Congicls have jufl commenced
their felTion, to give to our
readers a feacement of the two j
parties.
In the houfe of reprefenta- i

jority of democrats. Their |

In the fenatc, if w T e recollect
rightly, there will be 17 demo

The ievend fearts which have
democratic legislatures, are,
Vermont, Rhode-Ifland, Ncw-
York, New-Jerfey, Pennfyl
vania, Maryland, Virginia, Ken
tucky, North-Carolina, Ten
neffee, South-Carollna, and
Georgia—l 2 feates out of 16.
There are alfo 12 States which
have democratic Governors. —
It is Scarcely more than one year
fmee the democratic feates
amounted to only /even out of
I the 16.
Be Tides this extraordinary and
thorough change in Tome H ites,
I within the lliort period above
I mentioned, the feates which ftill
| continue attached to the ex-fe

; greffmg towards a re-generation.

Epitome.
On the word IMPARTIAL as
commonly applied to new/papers.
The word impartial is now
in Inch common ule amon^
O
I nevvlpaper printers, and is, at
' die fame time To ibamcfully
I abufed, that I hope to be par
doned for taking lome notice
of it. It is a ward and charac
; ter frequently profe(Ted, and
1 aim of} as frequently fallen from.
The quefhon naturally arifes
—What plan mi:ft a printer
purine to publifh an impartial
! paper ?—lt may be anfwered
i that he may print ary thing, anti
j every thing. That he may pub
lish impartiality and indilcri
rniiiately truth and falfehood.
j That he mult abide cne political
j feet in one column, and another
in the next. That he mull, on
i one fide of his paper, bellow the
moll unlimited prude on his go
i ■ &
vermnem—and on the other
abide and vilify it. That he
mull pn defy chnflianity one
week, and athesfm the next,
i In fhoit, that he mull in one
1 finglcchequered, motely, patch
work flieet, dilplay truth, falfe
hood, praife, calumny, ioyalry,
fedition, virtue, vice, morality,
immorality, federaiifm, toryifrn,
iej>ub I i c an \ fm, j aco bi n i fm, chri f
tianity, and infidelity. That
his paper mull referable a
vv.n [mill always veering to the
breeze, and gn ding every bo
dy’ogr.d; ora public market,
where ail kinds of meat, as well
as calve s heads and builocic s
tongues are expoleci for due ; or
a violin, on winch every dunce
I may play a tune who can crook
j his elbow, or draw a fiddle dick.
lint my ideas are entirely
} different. I conceive that the
! printing of an impartial paper
1 does not confifl in giving a
o o
I place to any thing and cvciy
I thing—but in publishing ft l/i i/ ,
• and truth oily, without any re
i gard to the party, men ermea
! lures, which it might effect, ci
i ther by benefit or mealures.
The prevailing notion that an
impartial printer mult, like the
twilight, Hand with cne foot in
darknefs, and the other in 1 gne,
is abfurd and ridiculous, i'o
a6l impartially is to “ tell truth
and fharnc the Devil.”

Sir,
The fecretary of the navy,

communication, being abfenc
from the feat of government,
forcaufes that may detain him lor
feme time, Ido m fell' the plea
fure, without further delay, of
j expreffmg to you on behalf of
i your country, the high iacisfac
i tion infpired by your con duel in
i the late engagement with the
| Tripolitan cruder, captured by
you. Too long for the honor
; of nations, have thole Barbarians
I been iuffered to trample on the
I facred faith of treaties, on the
rights and laws of human nature.
You have (hewn to your coun
| try men that that enemy cannot
meet bravery and (kill united,
i In proving to them that our pall
| condefcenllons were from a love
I of peace, not a dread of them,
you have deferved well of your
I country, and have merited the
I high efleem and confideration
of which I have now the pka
fure of alluring you.

1 late conquefl over a fa tiilds

by the valor and good conduft
of the officers and crew I had
