FROM THE PALLADIUM

When a man is dead and gone, it is usual even for his worst enemies to say peace to his ashes. No longer fearing, they no longer hate. Some of the bitterest not unfrequently pretend to some candor and moderation towards a departed foe, and hold it to be mean and malicious to pursue him beyond the grave. But it seems as if the government of the best society existing, as we claim to be considered, had fallen into the hands of the very worst men in it. For, although Washington is dead, and Adams in literary and domestic retirement, and although the federal administration is gone never, as the Jacobins say, to return, yet the powers that be have openly reviled and slandered the fame of their predecessors. Mr. Jefferson, in his New-Haven letter, as well as in that to Mazzei, and that to the Berkeley farmer, in all the calumny that he has published as his own, and in all that Callender and Duane and Co. have manufactured for bank bills or fat offices, has missed no opportunity to raise his own reputation on the ruin of that of his betters. The committee of Congress, Mr. Giles, in his last words and dying speech, before he was slain by Mr. Bayard, and all the party, join their voices to speak evil of the departed federal administrations.

There is some temptation, though very little excuse, for the mean malice of this procedure. If the federal administrations were not bad, but honest and patriotic, then there was no occasion for the change. The Cheshire wise men might have been ridiculous enough at home, and have saved their great cheese and their travelling charges. We might have saved our precious judiciary rights, as secured by the Constitution. We might have saved 32,000 dollars thrown away on the Berceau to purchase the contempt and the forbearance of Bonaparte.

We might have saved a million of dollars a year drawn from coaches, loaf sugar and diamonds, which have been thrown away to buy six weeks popularity; and we might have saved one million and a half of dollars by keeping the public's bank shares; yet these have been sold or sacrificed to prevent the deficiencies that would otherwise have stopped the wheels of Monsieur Gallatin's government. When income fails we must sell principal, every man who is ruined well knows.

The question, therefore, whether the old administration was as bad as the new one has represented it, is important to the Jeffersonian sect. It is a case of life and death, for it concerns their powers, which is dearer to every democrat than life.

Was the Federal Administration a bad one? This question is scarcely asked and already circumstantially answered. Read Mr. Wolcott's pamphlet, and be convinced, O ye democrats of little sense or faith, that the charges made by the committee of Congress are false. They are not merely exposed by confutation; they are gibbeted to public derision. The committee are now defendants, and if they can bear the disgrace of their own report, they deserve to bear it. Then let them boast that the public scorn will not break their legs or pick their pockets. But after this let them be convinced, that their tongues or pens will not be slander.

Turn from an administration that has escaped unhurt from its enemies, that has not felt a scratch in the lion's den, and look at its successor. Compare the defences of its conduct with those which Mr. Wolcott, Mr. Stoddart, and others have made, and let the dullest blockhead among the democrats, deny, if he can, that Mr. Jefferson and his party have need of more vindication. Doubts are not well cleared up. Even the "Farmer" is fierce about his thousand dollars; but, of late, discreet enough to be hush about the 32,000 dollar affair of the Berceau. The Mazzei letter, the wages of iniquity to Callender, for his Prospect, the open reward, by a fat office, to Duane, and the open encouragement to the infamous Paine, are among the existing scandals of the Jeffersonian Sect. Now, it is asked, when was the credit of the Federal Administration so low as that of the new rulers now is? The latter, stand charged with breaking the solemn oath to support the constitution. For proof of the charge read the two speeches, Giles and Bayard's on the repeal of the judiciary, which the Federalists candidly printed together in one pamphlet.

Within a year, the glossy outside, the vile varnish of the Jeffersonians, has rubbed off, and the votes for Gov. Strong and Gilman has increased many thousands. The people have themselves pronounced judgment. Federalism is everywhere reviving as fast as it is in the nature of the light of truth to prevail over the fogs of ignorant delusion. Reasoning and examining is slow work; but it is work that is going on. The charges against the Jefferson Sect will at length penetrate even the aristocratic solitudes of Virginia; and if the sense and patriotic zeal of the best men in the nation should hold out to support the republican system now or a year ago in existence, instead of flinging up the game and yielding it to the Jacobins to establish, as they will, their strong government, the strongest in the world, we are told; their iron mob or military rule, we shall infallibly prevail at last, and save or retrieve the constitution. This excellent constitution may live to grow up and grow strong by time, and even by the trials by which its adversaries will test it.

We must not despair of the Commonwealth. It has been a work of only a few months for a set of profligate impostors to run themselves out of credit. Two years more will run them out of place and power. The property of the nation, its sense and virtue, will be again entrusted with its government.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE ADVANTAGES OF COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.

BY CITIZEN D'HAUTERIVE.

To be convinced that a colonial commerce gives a decided superiority to those nations who possess it, it is only necessary to take a view of the specie which the colonies throw into circulation, and the influence thus gained over the sinews of power and prosperity, without which no nation can expect to acquire or keep a pre-eminence among the other nations of Europe.

We need not seek for examples in Great Britain of the extent and richness of colonial commerce; we shall find them in the commerce of France, before that epoch, when dangerous doctrines and the evils of war had destroyed all order and regularity. In 1783, the commerce of France with her colonies, was more important and productive than that of any of the maritime nations.

At this period she drew from her establishments in the Antilles and Guiana productions to the amount of 218 millions and some hundred thousands of francs, namely 89 millions and some hundred thousand francs of sugars, 87 millions and some hundred thousand francs of coffee, about one million of cocoa, twenty one million and some hundred thousand francs of cotton, 10 million and some hundred thousand francs of indigo, eight millions in other produce. The importation of this immense quantity of merchandise, of articles of the first necessity, was effected by 686 vessels, making 199,753 tons; the freight only of which yielded 17 millions profit. In exchange, French manufactures and produce were exported to the colonies to the amount of 76 millions and some hundred thousand francs. This exportation employed 677 vessels, averaging 190,753 tons, the freight of which, at 100 francs per ton, yielded to maritime commerce 19 millions profit.

The cultivation of the colonies occasioned another species of commerce, that of slaves. It appears from statements which have been given, that the French slave trade amounted to 16 or 17 millions of francs, it employed 105 vessels, averaging 35,227 tons, the freight yielding about 4 millions profit.

Such was the activity which the commerce between France and the American colonies gave to the circulation of the funds, and to commercial speculations, at this period, that 218 millions of importations from, and more than 135 millions of exportations to the colonies, took place, resulting from the purchase and sale of slaves, produce and manufactures.

These two sums united, give 353 millions, and allowing 10 per cent. the usual profit, would be more than 35 millions; add to this 21 millions arising from freight, and it will give 56 millions, flowing entirely from the trade between France and her colonies.

The importance of our colonial possessions, is particularly felt in our external commerce. It has been shown with great precision, that of the exportations of France in the year 1788, to different parts of Europe, the states of Barbary, the Levant, and United States, there was to the amount of 131 millions in articles of home manufacture, 124 millions of the productions of the soil of France, and 157 millions in colonial produce, such as sugar, coffee, indigo, cotton, &c. In our trade with Spain the proportion of colonial produce amounted to 1,500,000 francs, with Holland, to 33 millions, with Sardinia, Italy, Piedmont and Switzerland, to 23 millions, with the Ottoman empire and Barbary states 6 millions, with Denmark, Sweden, Russia and the Hanse towns, 66 millions and some hundred thousand francs, with Germany, Prussia and Poland, 21 millions. To Portugal and the United States of America, we exported but little colonial produce, they being able to supply themselves in a more direct manner.

This statement shows the immense advantage resulting from colonial trade, and demonstrates that it is one of the firmest supports of the power of modern nations.

The Petition of the subscribers, citizens of the United States, and Inhabitants of the Mississippi Territory,

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE U. STATES;

Most Respectfully Sheweth,

That many of your petitioners seek themselves aggrieved by being in this Territory, deprived of that right of suffrage to which in other parts of the United States they would have been entitled.

That some of them have settled themselves upon vacant land and have not yet been able to procure legal and regular titles therefore, and hope and trust in the justice of Congress, for a provision that they shall be secured in their just and equitable rights to that land.

That some of them have served & fought in the cause of their country.

That others of them have obtained incomplete Spanish or British titles to land of which they conceive justice requires the confirmation.

That your petitioners conceive that they are entitled as citizens of the United States to the common rights of their fellow citizens, while the President of the United States cannot prorogue or dissolve the national legislature, it is in the power of the Governor of this Territory and he can throw back in the teeth of the people the men of their choice.

That the absolute negative upon legislative acts vested in the Executive being inconsistent with the principles of the individual states and the national constitution ought to be abolished.

That your petitioners believe that in the present state of the territory they cannot support the additional burthen of paying the salaries of the judges of the superior courts. They have the fullest confidence in the integrity of the present judges and rely they will continue to discharge the duties of their office with Fidelity.

Another Memorial to the honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled.

We the undersigned, citizens of the Mississippi territory, pray your honorable body, that the land office to be opened for this territory, may be held within the bounds of the same; and that the actual settlers on the vacant lands of the United States, may have a pre-emption right secured to them.

We further pray, for the following alterations in the ordinance of 1787, (to wit:) That the right of suffrage may be extended to every male person of full age, being a citizen of the United States, and who has had a residence within the territory for the last six months preceding the election.

That all the officers of the territorial government shall be appointed by the governor of the territory, by and with the advice and consent of the council.

That the offices of territorial judges be abolished, and that the appointment of all judicial officers shall be made by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the council, and that they shall be removable only by impeachment.

That the members of the legislative council shall henceforth be chosen at the same time, in the same manner, and for the same term, as the members of the house of representatives of this territory.

These proposed alterations in the ordinance would remove some needless and in...

Inconvenient encroachments on our rights as citizens. They are suited to our local situation, far from our parent government, and would obviate many serious evils under which we now labour. We, on our part, therefore, pray for these separations, and we trust to the justice and goodness of the government of the United States for a compliance on their part.

ON SELF-RESPECT.

It is a maxim with many, that a man will be thought just as much of by the world as he thinks of himself; that if ambitious of being esteemed of some consequence, he must assume the air of consequence himself. Though I have no objection to the principle, taken with some qualifications, yet in the extent with which it is laid down by many, I hold it false.

Sterne's pithy advice to Eliza, "Reverence thyself," is a rule which every man should adopt and practise, who holds any intercourse with the world. No man can be long respected who is guilty of flagrant and continued vice; and no man can be virtuous without reverencing himself; he must consider himself as accountable to the Supreme Being for his conduct; he must consider himself as a moral agent, and must believe it of importance to support a character in the world, or he can never pay that respect to himself which will produce the respect of others: he must fear the public censure, for a line of conduct which is evidently wrong, or he will lose one considerable check upon his passions; he must esteem their approbation, or he will never pursue those means that conduce to it.

These considerations should influence every one who has extensive intercourse with society, but more particularly such as by their profession are constantly presented to the public eye. To a practitioner of the law they are very necessary, especially when first coming forward into professional life. We will then examine how far a man in a public capacity should respect himself, and how far he should respect society.

By a firm, decent and upright conduct, to convince the world that we feel ourselves of some value to it, and to show that we possess some qualities which entitle us to the regard of mankind, is the duty of every one. Without this line of conduct we should receive neither attention or regard. People are not fond of trusting any one who is afraid to trust himself; they naturally reason thus: that man is conscious of some deficiency, which he apprehends no one knows but himself; he feels a weakness which he fain would conceal if he could, but unfortunately for him, nature is true, however he may be, and shows that he is not qualified so extensively as he would fain have us believe. Thus a diffident man, whatever may be his real capacity, is believed to possess inferior talents to what he truly owns, because he distrusts himself; an error of this kind is not uncommon. Many men of the first talents have been noted for singular diffidence; delicately constituted at heart, they shrink from the turbulence and rough collision of active life, and depressed by apprehension, are not able to put forth half their strength. From not making so accurate a comparison of their own talents with those of others as they might do, they imagine the powers of others to be in proportion to appearances; whereas the fact is, that among the greatest novices is found the most ignorance. Bold and forward, like the horse in battle, because ignorant of danger, without that tenderness of feeling which characterises men of the first genius, they dash through the ocean of life, unhurt by the waves of contention, and fearless of the rocks of infamy.

A maxim has long been held out among shallow thinkers that impudence is absolutely requisite to ensure success at the bar; few assertions perhaps will at bottom be found more false. Wherever impudence appears, it never fails to disgust—it is frowned on and reprobated; it may sometimes appear in persons who become over-confident through strength of their mental powers, but of itself, unconnected with admirable qualities, it never fails to create aversion. To be firm and resolute is very necessary in our commerce with the world—but the more we veil this firmness of disposition beneath the mantle of modesty, the more likely are we to ensure approbation.

In a word, if we are extremely desirous of attention and respect from the world, it is really necessary that we pay proper respect to ourselves, and rather go beyond than fall below the proper mark—but should we arrogate much more than our merits entitle us to, we shall either meet with mortification and neglect, or be the subject of ridicule for our extravagant demands.

We will now consider how far we should respect the public. However depraved in private life many men of note may be, and however negligent of the strict rules of religion, they are still kept under considerable restraint by public opinion; they are aware that, from the constitutions of our nature, the principles of morality are ever held in high estimation by the mass of mankind; and though in general they may be violated in practice, in speculation they are esteemed; and those men who are most distinguished for the practice of them, are ever regarded as the objects of the most implicit confidence. It is therefore plain, that in a prudential point of view it is our interest to pay such a regard to the principles of common honesty, truth, and propriety, as never to offend the sense of society; we should study, in all our public performances, to acquit ourselves in the best manner possible, and by our behaviour to excite their esteem.

But it would seem as if there were a possibility of carrying this matter too far. Our respect for the public should be such as to prompt us to the best exertions in a good cause, but should never be carried so far as to depress us with the dread of failure—And yet I believe there are many who, in their first advances in society, have been under such an awe of the public, have so dreaded every mental exertion to which the public attention has been particularly called, that they have fallen far inferior to themselves; fearful of making some slip in their attempt, they would scarce attempt any thing at all; apprehensive of ridicule, of the sneers of opponents, or the opposition of antagonists, they have scarce put out half their strength—Yet this must be conquered before eminence can be acquired; that degree of independence and resolution must be assumed or gained which will carry us through debate or opposition, without shrinking or dread. This gauntlet every young lawyer is obliged to run who comes to the bar—they must all expect the frowns and sneers of such whose interest does not agree with theirs; whom they must in some measure injure by every great advance on the public notice—They should not, therefore, expect to combine all advantages and enjoyments together; if they rise in fame, they must forego ease; if they increase in wealth, by exertions which wrest it from the hands of others, they must expect slander and persecution—To do our duty then, to conduct ourselves with fairness and integrity, and to place our talents in their best point of view, is a liberty we all enjoy, and which we ever shall, it is presumed, while freedom flourishes in our country.

HONESTUS.
