POETRY. SAINTS IN HEAVEN. v mmm What are these in bright array ? This innumerable throng, Round the Altar, night and day, Tuning their triumphant song ? —“ Worthy is the Lamb once slain, Blessing, honour, glory power ; Wisdom, riches, to obtain ; New dominion, every hour. These through fiery trials trud : These from great afflictions came ; New before the throne of God, Seal'd with his eternal name ; Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their great Redeemer’s might, More than conquerors they stand. Hunger, thirst, disease, unknown, On immortal fruits they feed ; Them the Lamb, amidst the throne, Shall to living fouutains lead Joy and gladness banish sighs, Perfect love dispels their fears, And forever from their eyes God shall wipe away all tears. MONTGOMERY. MISCELLANY. DON LL'IS DE ONIS’S MEMOIR. A Translation of the “ Memoir upon the Ne gotiation between Spain and the United States of America, which led to the Treaty of 1819,” has lust beenpublished in this city [Washington] from the pen of Dr. Watkins, in whose character and abilities we have a satisfactory pledge of the fidel ity and accuracy of the translation. We have looked over this work, in the expec- .tation of finding it full of the sophisms of diplo macy, and very unreserved in the frankness of the author’s views of the United States. We have not been disappointed. It is both the one and the other. Os the character of our people, and their besetting foibles, he speaks with un sparing severity, and with more freedom, we think, than sincerity. Os our institutions, and of our resources, he has given as flattering a view as could be expected from a representative of mon archy, who has nodongf-r a motive for deceptive language, or mental reservation in respect to us : it being perfectly evident, from the tenor of the memoir, that Don Luis de Onis has not the least expectation of ever revisiting the United States in a publick capacity. Os the policy of our gov ernment, he has furnished such a distorted view as suited the purpose for which he wrote, which was, by apropos suggestions to induce the cortes of Spain to ratify the treaty of 1819, the necessa ry assent to which had been, as was at the date of the memoir, withheld by the King of Spain. The Memoir commences with a history of the Don’s diplomatick residence in the United States, from the year 1809 to the year 1819 : and of his •arrival here, the refusal of our government to re ceive him, and his vigilance and faithful services nevertheless. It then takes a view of the territo ries of the United States ; of their population ; of the causes of the rapid increase of population,and of the publick and individual wealth of these states ; of our relations with the Indians on our borders ; of the agriculture, manufactures and industry of the United States: of their commerce —of their military force, which he scandalously depreciates; of the navy : of the national reve nue ; of our internal policy ; of our political sys tem, and the relations of the United States with ! the different powers of the globe. The memoir j then closes with a brief account of the negotiation ; and of the motives which induced him to close it | as he did, the Duk* of Alagon’s grants in Florida j to the contrary notwithstanding. The statistical part of the work shews that Mr. De Onis was not idle or unobserving, during his sojourn here, tho’ many of his statements and arguments are found ed on erroneous or defective data. On the whole, none can read this tract of 152’ pages, without amusement, and few without in fraction. “ It is,., (says the Translator,) a most extraordinary production, and contains a singular mixture of the veriest slander, and the most ex travagant eulogy of otir country and countrymen, that was ever heaped upon them by foe or friend.” It remains for us to give an extract or two from the work. The first is his portrait of the people of the United States, not very flattering certain ly—yet id which, mangre its frightful daubing aud hideous colours, one can plainly discover some odd traits of resemblance to those who sat for the likeness : JVot. Intelligencer . “ This people, however, do not appear capable of raising themselves to that colos al greatness to which they aspire,’ nor to any solid and lasting glory. A compound of individuals of various nations, they have no true national character, and devoted to commerce and speculation, interest is their idol. They carried with them to the des erts of North America the corruption and thff vices of the most degenerate people in Europe, and this corruption and these vices tave met with no barriers in a country where all are free, and where luxury and insatiable thirst of gold are the predominant passions : egotism , avarice and other sordid passions , distinguish the character of the Amer scans. Their manners in general resem ble those of the English, though they are always accompanied with a certain rustici ty, and a provoking arrogance, that particu larize them. The inhabitants of the Uni ted States are descended for the most part from English families, and although a mul titude of individuals from other nations are incorporated in their population, the.anglo mania is always prevalent. The institu tions of the country, copied chiefly from those of England—the same laws for the administration of justice in civil and crimi nal cases; the same language, the same enthusiasm for commerce, and the same spirit of domination and pride render the two people very similar. Tne Anglo- American looks upon every nation with dis dain or contempt, admiring the English on ly, and making it a glory to draw his ori gin fmm her. But their situation at the head of the New World, without rivals to I impede or restrain their march; an im-i mense and varied surface of territory; their! rapid and astonishing progress in popula- j tion, the arts and industry; the brilliant se- j ries of their prosperity ; the powerful sue- j cess of their arms in the late war against’ Great Britain ; and the respect which they | fancy they have inspired in the principal powers of Europe, have raised their vani ty to an extreme of which it is scarcely pos sible to form an idea. They consider them selves as superiour to the rest of mankind, and look upon their repablick as the only establishment upon earth, founded upon a grand and solid basis, embellished by wis dom, and destined one day to become the most sublime colossus of human power, and the wonder of the universe. It is not on ly in the mouths of enthusiasts, or dema gogues who seek to inflame the imaginations of the mob with seductive and exalted ideas, that this language is heard ; it resounds from every side. The works of all the An glo-American writers are strewed with these haughty sentiments, these brilliant predictions, suggested by an overweening vanity. Their publick monuments attest the excess of this pride and ostentatious confidence. The house in which the Con gress hold their sessions, they call the Capi tol ; a little rivulet near it, about three yards wide and a fourth deep, they denom inate the Tiber. Many of the meanest set tlements have the names of the celebrated cities of Greece and Rome. Every tiling breathes extreme affectation and vanity in the United States, but the sensible man.who examines things with impartiality and pro found reflection, cannot but foresee the ru in of these states, in the blind impetuosity of thpir ambition, and the excess of their pride. ’’ Per Contra, wc give the following as a f.iir sam ple of those parts of the work in which reluctant justice is done to us. “ Their fleet is every’ day receiving aug mentation, and is already upon a respecta ble and brilliant footing. The Anglo-Amer ican sailors, if they do not exceed the Eng lish io skill or courage, like them possess the profoundest knowledge of naval tac ticks, and great experience in every thing (hat can contribute to a favourable result in naval actions. It is true that, hithet to, they have had no actions, except of ship to ship, and with small divisions on the lakes, but in all they have manifested great skill and bravery; When their navy shall be adapted for grand battles, they will no doubt show the same superiority, of which the English now boast so much ; and will, perhaps, surpass them, excited as they will be by emulation, pride, and that fierceness of enthusiasm which a republican spirit in spires. Every thing i9 well organized in their marine ; the vessels are of excellent construction, perfectly fitted and armed ; a rigorous discipline, due subordination, and Ihe best order are observed in them. There is no instance of an Anglo-American com-, mander or officer having faltered in his du ty, or having failed to support, even in the most difficult extremities, the honour of his flag.” We conclude with the following extract, the perusal of which made us feel unusualiy serious ; why, we leave the reader to explain. “ I cannot conclude my observations up on the country and population of the Uni ted States, without saying something of the Indians, or aboriginals, still remaining in them. A considerable number of the Iro quois are yet to be met with in the state of New York, and in the eastern part of Long I Island; but they are all miserable wretches, in nothing resembling their ancestors,whose character is said to have been so bold,war like, and ferocious. In the states of Ten nessee and Mississippi, the nation or tribe of Cherokees exist; in Georgia the Creeks; in Mississippi, the Chickasaws and Choc taws ; in the state of Indiana and Territo ry of Michigan, a few savage hordes of the nation or tribe of Chippeway are to be found ; and others occupy various points to the north-east cf Illinois and East of Lake Michigan. They are all wretched, and gradually becoming extinct. Their whole number will amount at most to fifty or six ty thousand. Those who live within the Spanish dominions, contiguous to the Uni ted States, comprise various tribes, some of them sufficiently numerous ; but they are gradually diminishing and abandoning the country to the Americans. “ Although the federal government boasts of the tenderness and philanthropy with which it treats them, it cannot but be ob served, that whatever may be its disposi tion to cherish sentiments so becoming to the present age, and all free countries like that of America, the fact is that the Indians are daily despoiled of their lands by pur chases, for the most part fraudulent, or by treaties but little equitable, as well as by force of arms. It frequently happens, that the settlers established on the frontier or near the lands of the Indians, make excur sions into them, and rob them of their cat tle, and of every thing upon which they can lay their hands. They complain to the governours and authorities of their respec tive state or territory, and in many cases to the Federal government; but justice is not always done to them, nor any satisfaction given. A series of these outrages at length wearies their patience, and when they find a fit opportunity, they take vengeance in to their own hands, attack those who enter’ their grounds to lay them waste or drive off their cattle, and either murder them or pursue them beyond the frontier, commit ting reprisals upon the American posses sions, with the ferocity peculiar to their j nature. When either of these events hap- 1 | pens, the cry of alarm and indignation re- j sounds through the United States, and the government sends an army to chastise the Indians. “ Such is the motive or apparent cause of the deadly and exterminating wars which have been hitherto waged against these unhappy beings. The government always i entrusts the conduct of them to impetuous generals, who, suffering themselves to be J carried away by a passion for war, even to I the overwhelming in ruin these almost de j fenceless and wretched aboriginals, pursue ‘them with fire and sword, burn their mise- I rable cabins, and put to destruction all who are not so fortunate as to escape to distant forests or inaccessible mountains. “ At the end of the campaign, a treaty 44 is entered Into with the unfortunate victims who have survived the extermination of their tribe, and in this the greater and bet ter part of their lands i* adjudged to the V. States, who are thus successively getting rid of these neighbours, and possessing fhemselves of the countries which they oc cupy.” [Whatever degree of truth there may be in the Don’s remarks upon our conduct towards the In dians, it certainly comes with a most “ viilanous grace” from a countryman of Fernando Cortes and Francis Pizfaro.—Let Spain atone for the millions of innrders committed by her cruel and rapacious adventurers upon the unoffending na tives of this continent,before she presumes to taunt the United States upon the injustice of their policy towards the Aborigines. Such a charge, however, can excite no surprise, when preferred by a man who could deliberately pen and circulate abroad, the foul and abominable contained in the subjoined extract from the “ Memoir,” which we fir.d in the Savannah Georgian. It can only ex cite a smile of contempt from those whom it was intended to vililfy.] “ In the two Carolina?, the population increases very little, and oue third of it, as well as in Virginia and Maryland, is compos ed of negroes and mulattoes, nearly all slaves. The whites appear rather to di minish than increase in these states; which must be attributed to their use of strong drink?, and (o a life of voluptuous excesses. Despising matrimony', they commonly unite themselves with the negresses and mulat tresses. They are but little inclined to la bour, presumptuous, vindictive and cruel to their slaves. The inhabitants of the North are more laborious, and less corrupt. Those of Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee & Georgia are poor; and, with the excep tion of Delaware, they all resemble the sav ages, or aboriginal Indians, very much in their customs and mode of living.” We have somewhere seen the term Ambassa dor defined to be “ a person employed to tell lies for the good of hia country and we presume such is the definition given to the word in the Don’s political vocabulary.—At any rate, nobody will prtflend that he has not so understood the nature of his functions, or that he has not labour ed with more than ordinary diligence in his voca tion. To collect such a mass of information res pecting our country, as he is said to have done, and to mingle with it so many impudent false hoods, would have been an Herculean task to a person less gifted with the necessary qualifications for snch a work ; and we really think the Spanish nation has made a most ungrateful return to this worthy functionary for his remarkable devoted- i ness to the duties of his office while in America.! We do not owe the Don much, good will, butj could we be permitted to advise his royal master, j common justice would induce us urgently to re- j commend the employment of that gentleman on > all important missions to foreign nations, except, j indeed, to our own country, where we presume no , inducements could persuade him again to set a foot. But he might be usefully employed at the next European Congress, as he certainly possesses in no small degree one great pre-requisite of an ambassador, and might successfully contend with those giants in political subterfuge and diplo matick cunning, Nesselrode, Metternich and Oas tlereagh. Besides, the abuse which he has so lib erally heaped upon the citizens and institutions of, the American Republick, and his prophecy of her j downfal, must be very pleasing to the monarchs ’ of Europe, whose jealousy and fear are aroused by our rapid advance in intelligence and strength. A PUBLICK NEWSPAPER. “ This folio of four pages, happy work ! Which not even critipks criticise ; What is it, but a map of busy life, Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns ?” Os all the publications which teem from the press, none are so interesting, none are j so useful as the newspaper. This book may be interesting on a particular subject —that book may be useful on another sub ject—and another book may be entertain ing on all subjects. Perhaps you prefer his tory"—the well conducted newspaper fur nishes a standing history of the times. Do any wish religious instruction ? the news paper to him who “looks through Nature up to Nature’s God,” affords it in the posi tive examples of the good, and in the neg ative examples of the wicked; it tells what the world is, doing for the good cause, and cries aloud against the crimes which are a reproach to the people. The newspaper gives you the latest discoveries in Geogra phy and Astronomy; it tells you what im provements are making in the growth of countries: it gives you the latest inven r lions and improvements in Mechanicks,iti Agriculture and domestick economy. It furnishes an account of the proceedings of governments; and enables a people to know and judge of the propriety or impropriety of measures. It is “the tyrant’s foe, the people’s friend,” when managed with integ rity. When the writer of this article was not more than ten years of age,’ living in a country town where there is no mall and of course where newspapers were procured with difficulty—he recollects the avidity with which he . laid hold of a newspaper, i even if it were months old; that he could be made to stop for nothing till he had ex traded all the information it contained. :To this curiosity he owes all the literary taste he has ever possessed—to this curios ity he owes the ability of penning this arti cle—to this curiosity he owes his means of livelihood—to this curiosity alone he owes it that he has been able successfully to combat in the “ war of words,” with men who have made the study of letters the whole business of their lives. A well conducted paper combines so ma ny advantages, and conveys, in a cheap 4*, condensed form, so much useful informa tion, that we think it a loss to a family to be without one. When its paragraphs are written, selected and arranged with judg ment, it become* on excellent instrument under the direction of a parent to induce a love of reading in the tender mind, to en twine the budding affections round the des tinies of our country, and lend to a salutary acquaintance with men and things. VVc might go on to mention the advantages of a paper a3 it affects the general prosperity ; but as the publick is generally aware of them it would be impertinent.— Monitor. AMERICAN BONNETS. The British Society of Arts in London have awarded to Miss Sophia Woodhouse, of Weathers field,Ct. a premium of 20 guineas,equal to $93 35, together with o silver medal of the Society, for the elegant specimen of Grass Bonnet made by her, which was exhibited in Hartford, in Oct. last. It is said the material of which this bonnet is made, exceeds in fineness tbe straw of the wheat from which tbe far-famed Leghorn lints are made, and that it is equal in strength. It is said to have been ascertained from actual calculations,that the sums which have been actually paid by the different dealers in Hartford for the purchase of Leghorn hats Eince the commencement of the present year, will amount to 40,000 dollars. Ch. Watchman. PROPOSALS For publishing a Paper in the Town of Milledgt ville, to be entitled, WE, THE PEOPLE. THE Press has been truly and classically call ed the Palladium of Liberty. In the dis semination of useful knowledge, in the correction of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-eminent above evey other institution ; it is the handmaid to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge nius, and the pioneer to the march of Liberty and Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long retain an undue influence upon the minds of the People: the glare of publick observation through which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con fucius, immediately reflects its deformity; and exposes its venality. Someone has aptly observ ed, that opinion is the Queen olheMcrld. She is emphatically so in a govemmePr like ours. The aristocratical maxim, “ the people are their own worst enemies ,” under whatever semblance it may appear, will still retain an impress of its original features; and the ken of an enlightened community will 60on penetrate the gossamer man tle, and drag the monster to light. WE, THE PEOPLE, will be particularly devoted to an impartial examination of the poli ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of its present administration is one which fully accords with our feelings and principles ; and so long as it adheres to that honest and independent course which has invariably marked its progress, so long will the Editors be devoted to its support. All other subjects of State or National concern wiil ! receive that portion of attention which they mer ! it; and every exertion will be used to render the 1 paper a medium of useful intelligence. Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their ‘little barque upon the political ocean. With j Truth their chart, and Independence their eom pass, they’ hope in attempting to avoid Scylla they ! will not founder on Charybdis ; but ride in tri-1 ■uinph on the Sea of Principle into the Port of | Publick Safety. I Wc, the People, will be published forthwith, j under the management of one of the Editors of, j the Augusta Chronicle.
