From the Si u si-.i.e.,.N.. DEfHlCR.AT.

There sesmi to be a new turn to
the di,-positi'n( of mun, and those
whom I thought to be violent in their
political principles are now become
the adVl'iocMt of union, and, as they
say, ha n.'on. This is well. In my
younger days men were not so wise,
and our best citizens espoused a party
causr. Our country was then di-
vided between two parties-one of
them S.trieniuol.d\ advocated the rights
,of the p-ople,\who weclt called v. HIGS,
imiong whom we mnay reckon all the
illustrious lthoracters who adorned
our revolL O.Iily war: and one who
advocated the right ol the king to op-
press the people, who were called To-
RIS. I remember the sharp coiiten-
tion between these parties before blood
began to flow, or Warren fell. When
an appeal was made to arms there was
no neuter. Every nman in his heart
wished well to one party or the other,
and felt a lirvly interest in the' suc-
cess of the party hefavored. Victo-
ry inclined to ftavor the cause offree-'
dom, and we obtained our indeptrid-
ence. But imny of the torics who se-
cretly abetted the cause of the enemy
remained in our country during the
war; and many who took an active
part with the enemy have, since re-
turned. These, together with some
who hclltd to acquire oar indclieldi
ence, but who were not well founded
in iis principle, and an host of strip-
lings b.,, n since, have formed a -pow-
erful party, or rather kept up thil old
tory party, and are now extolling Gt.
Bri:ii,, declaring that she is the
;world last hope;' ; 1 1 it aic 1 .,h
"rotector of the rights of nations ;"
i at her "' constitiitiun is the most sta-
pendous fabric of human invention"
,-they say a national debt is a na-
tionil blessing ;" they found fault
with our go\ erniient for taking off the
excise whichh this party had laid, for
dismissiiig an host of useless officers
which they had created, and even for
borrowing nimney atfive per cent.'in-
terest to repi. that which they had
borrowed .t I:jht per cent. They
ridicilcd popular elections, and when
in some states the republican party at-
tempted to m.a~ik voters of all who bore
arms and paid taxes, who were above
twenty-one years of age, this party
was all alive to oppose it. No; the
poor people must defend the country
u iih tilir li\ cs, and help to bear the
hurdens of the state by paying taxes-
this wia. right; but vote for a go+ern-
or or representative that hurt their
lordly souls. What the tag-rag
and bob-tail" of the state vote i This
*is abominable-they will vote away
.all the property of the rich and take it
to thenselhes. Thus the tory party,
now called by another name, slander-
ed the poor. These have been their
verve words and arguments since the
war-the same in substance the king's
party made use of to support the
right to tax us without our consent.
Against ihii party, and these prin-
cipILs, so subversive of liberty, the
w!..i. party, niw called ;dlonatruts,
have maintrintJ an arduous struggle,
and have hitherto been victorious,and
will continue to be'sp, as long as vir-
tue remains predominant in the na-
ti'on, for, virtue and our liberties will
fill together.
Thcse opposite principles hive hi-
ctherto caused a struggle, and agitated
the nation, but according to the pre-
sent doctrine all must be laid aside
nd no party adhered to. Men must
indifferent whether liberty or sla-


..'i I, be the order ol the day, whether
vice or virtue prevail; must have no
opinions of their own ; mut possess
no principles; m.ist be ready to he
moulded into any shape ; musr feel e-
qually indifferent whether we live un-
der a tmc'lrhy, an aristocracy, or a
d'.:OLra:y ; mu:. be equally ready to
incline to the side of an aristocracy
as of a popular government; must be
totally regaidless of their rights and
privileges, and be indifferent whether
freedom and virn:-, or tyranny, and vice
be triumph:int in the land-all this
must take pla;e, or a man cannot be
siid to have no party ; for if he feels
inteiteiScd in any of the events about
him, he will belYng to the party he
judges in the right ; or if a bad man,
he will incline to the palty where his
interest leads. In short, it is so in-
consistent with human nature and the
constitution of man to be indifferecti
to party, that I think the cry of ." t
us have no party" is to promote the
most wicked & violent of party, views,
and comes from the dark plotting
of midnight intrigues," and from men
whose principles will not bear inves-
tigation, therefore must be hid.

The nor oLriiy cfrrwhat hls taken
place wirh respect to mne rL!dler, it al-
most unnecessary for me to say any'
thing in the way of apology for once
,rC- .n..nr i:; mIn.y R i.s-r forth to'
the public without counrring ans thing
written by myself. The time I had
to remain at home ,was not a tenth
part sun;it t f .a ,.';i.n .f any thig
like a cl ie l'rel.. .i.: for mr -depart-
---re. On Wednesday morning, about
five o'clock I left my home and fami-
ly ; 't.'- :idai I 1 1 to appear in the
court f IT:; i l.-,: hi ; and niow, for
the first time in my life on any account
whatever, I am a prisoner, after hav-
ing been a public writer for nearly 10
Years in IF.ngland, and never h:l-ing
before had even proceedings com-
menced against me in any shape, for
any thing written by me. In such a
di'tt' io'jn to _set l,oJInL wrkiini- ,for the
inlforim t'-., or amusement of the pub-
lic, would be the h;c'ilt of affectation;
for every one mii t f.7'-! that it is un-
: der icl circum-nI.i'.:s, q,.i c impos.-
sible to divert one's mind from those
circumstances. Indeed, to be able to
do this would argue a degree of in-
sensibility ; incrmoi a-ible with private
affection and pi'-,lic spirited motives.
It is impossible that, so situated, I
can feel inclined to write for the press,
and, this being manifest to every bo-
dy, it must be equally manifest, that
if I were to attempt to write now, I
should force the task-upon n in i; I!f from
motives 'arising merely out of consi-
diL rat'n-. connected with the proprie-
torship of the Register; and as I ne-
ver have, in any one instance, written
for ga;n, so I am resolved not to do
it now. Yesterday exactly ten y:ll's
ago I landed in England, after having
lost a fortune in America, solely for
the sal-k of that same'-England; AND
r....'' saw me sent to a prison of
ttht same .England! It is quite im-.
possible for me to banish, reflections,
of this sort frommy mind ; but they
aart inr ., ,o-,,i ,ni i,- J itn o6lt by
the contempt which I feel for the ve-
.-;-! slaves, who have seized upon this,
a.: they regard it, a moment of my de-
r.;si-n, ~t to ni!,\ p c:.rnt and insult
me. I have now before me the Sun
and Courier newspapers, which, under
the name of a report of the proceed-
ings it the court of king's bench yes-
terday, have inom:t grossly and basely
misrepresented all that I said or did
upon that occasion. I shall, as soon
as possible, give a-true account of the
lwhol ,,fr these proceedings ; and in
the mean time I beg the public wholly
to suspend their ,, '.c :t as to every
S'irt of my conduct and my intentions.

DILA DFUL WARNING.
Sunday, the 2d instant, (Oct.) Mr.
Jackson, of Dewsbury, druggist, paid
a visit to a friend in Rothwell jail;
there he ithl-htld --- indtilged too
freely over the bottle, and on his set-
ting out to return home in a state of
iitoxic.ation, had to pass near a Me-
thodist' meeting-house ; the people
here b.- ing engaged in their religious
service, he judged it a fine frolic to
ride in, and go near the pulpit, and
disturb the congregation ; for which
imprudent act, he was taken into cus-
tody, and carried back to the prison,
where he was kept in confinement
during the night. Having appointed
to meet Mrs. Jackson, (who was on
her return from the funeral of a sis-
ter) at Wakefield, that evening, to go
home with her to Dewsbury, he
scrawled a note to her, which was un-
fortunately not delivered till the next
morning. Sorrow for the loss of her
sister, and alarm at the non-appear-
ance of her husband, preyed on her
mind during the whole of the night,
nor was her anxiety alleviated by the
receipt of his letter. In this state Of


mind, she proceeded in a chaise for We are greatlv indebted to bishopl

Florida, to give a succinct account of
vhat lh:d to the r~ulIution, and what
will be ,its l,..ib:,ble issue. In d.ing
this, we shall be. guidedby facts, com-
ing within our own 'knowledge, (the
editors hav i ng been alternately in Flo-
rida, since the first movement) and
from information derived from au-
thentic sources.
Ever since the commencement of
the difficulties in which the In.ther
country has been involved, littler
no attention has been paid to Florida.
The officers have not,been paid by
the government ; and to make up these
deficit, they have fleeced the peopk-.
The great body of the population of
:-West Florida, having migrated from'
the: United-States, the govin:';:ment
did not-suit the genius of the p,.-ople.
But so desirous were they to evince
their loyalty, that so long as there was
the semblance of i 'tic,;: left, so long-
were they faithful to their legitimate
sovereign.
A regulation had been adopted by
the officers presiding over Florida,
for the adm-ission of emigrants. This
regulation operated to the exclusion.
of men of probity and fortune, whilst
the urihl. ;r c ig.l.,und1 fo.-und :. ready
asylum. Corruption in every de-
partment of the provincial govern-
ment had grown to so alarming a
height, as to be no longer tolerated.
The officer finding from the embar-
rassed condition of the mother ciOn-
try, that he could not be arraigned
before the tribunal competent to pun-
ish hhn for his mil-.. o,,lut, gave a
loose to his propensities-the Spanish
law was lost sight of, and only the
shadow of a Spanish ., v.rolmint ex-
isted. The avenues '.t'.jirice were
closed, and before a civil officer, gold
decided questions of right and wrong.
The dissolute part of the community,
who had every thing to gain and no-
thing to lose by a revolution, disco-
vered a desire to rule. A spurious
constitution was circulated tlrr.ugh
the province, and every thing li.al thr
appearance of approaching anarchy &
plunder. These movements gave
the alarm to men of character and pro-
p It\ -- it bi n iamet- -' ,ri;all rtlr.-ite
to adopt measures, to disappoint the
lawless revolutionist. .Governor De-
lassus was applied to for permission
to have an Ile,:tlon by the people, of
delegates, to meet in convention, to
deliberate on the extraordinary state
of the province, and to adopt such
measures as to them m :iht 'em rpro-
per, for promoting the prosperity of
the country. Every thing was done
in the name of Ferdinand 7th ; the
acts of the convention are before the
public, and they can judge of their
merits. Let it be remembered, that
the election and meetings of the con-
vention were sanctioned by the go-
vernor, anJd their acts submitted to,
and ratified by him, before they were
declared to have the validity of law
such was the confidence the conven-
tion reposed in governor Delassus,
that they bestowed on him the highest
appointment in their gift, (president
of their supreme court) with a salary
of three thousand dollars a year.-
When they were about to adjourn, the
convention gave the governor a splen-
did dinner, which was considered as
celebrating the union between the re-
presentative of the sovereign, and the
representative of the people.
Regulations being established to
preserve the peace and trs11qu;vifi of
the country, and to ensure a faithful
administration of justice, the conven.
tion adjourned, acknowledged their
dependence on the ancient Spanish
monarchy, and proud that their la--
bors had terminated for the present,
favorable to the public repose.
This pleasing calm was momentary
-governor Delasses, who had ap-
proved with his hand, was at heart,
an enemy to the proceedings of the con-
j vention. -As soon therefore as the










cfnv.:n- lOn adjliuriJr.d, he sct his en-
gines in motion, not uolyv to circum-
vent their proceedii;,, h,-:t to seize
and deport the embers. Reports.
were industriously circulated, that go-
vernor Folch was on his way from
Pensacola, with five hundred men, to
.reduce the province to' obedience.-
The refugees and stories from the U.
States, passed through the settlements
of Ptichfa, Tanchipaho; and Pearl ri-
ver, poisoning the minds of the peo-
Spie, and during them to arm against
the convention-several bodies of
men, to the amount of near 400, had
actually assembled-an attempt was
made to seize one of the deputies, an-
other had to leave his residence, and
all were threatened with the most
dreadful punishments. In this di-
lemma, but one course remained for
the convention; which was to declare
independence, and call upon the na-
-tions of the earth to acknowledge
tht n as a free sate. The execution
U, as prompt; as the thought-the,
fort of tBlion iouge was carried-
the toities hici refugees reduced-and
V,.. tie misled people returned to their
Shoes, and took the oath of fidelity
to tih new government.
S.Thus have we given a succinct view
of the rise and progress of the revolu-
tion in West Florida, up to the pre-
sent time, as is possible-lthe question
non i how will it terminate ? If the
wi he3s of the people are met b\ our
government we c-an readily answer-
t 'j econa::zug ini u'ij l part i/ the
ini.:O. But as we pretend to no
knoilcdgt of the policy of our cabi-
net, we will suppose that government
will not receive them. Should tich
be the case, we are fully p(,:)t.iaded.
they will establish a separate repub-
lic, (which they have the physical
paths of supporting) and become our
. :ivals in tie c otton trade. This opi-
nion is not \ision.ai --it is foundlcd
on a perfect klnoil~ I.:dge uf the extent
.\..-.. .jp.c.i, i..'i,,u u fdlie couLn-
iit, the n:atulce of the so;l, and the
character and genius of the people.
And we entiree to p ecdict, that Flo-
rida w-ill not only be able to maintain
her independence, but if driven to ex-
tremities, will become a dangerous
enemy to the United States.
Whilst on the subject we cannot
refrain from noticing ilhe publication
of Piz.irro, in the Orlhans (..izette of
the 5th ultimo. It is there as ertcd
that-' it hias been in-inultced in pri-
vLite circles in this city, and publicly
& positively asserted in Baton Rouge,
that the government of the United
States had encouraged the revolution
w-hidih has ,lately, taken place in that
country, and that they had secretly
roniiscd their aid and protection in
he tst.ibli-hlimnt of an independ-
ent govcriinmet.'" Than this asser-
tion of Pizarro. one more erroneous
was never uttered. Whatever may
have been insinuatted" in Neir Or-
leans, it never was "asserted in Baton
RougL-," or elsewhere in Florida, that
Sthe UnitirJ States had encouraged
the revolution," or secretly pro-
mised their aid and protection."
The convention and people of Flo.
rida, well knew that the executive
government would not promise, as they
could not extend their aid constitution-
ally, in the establishment of an inde
pendcnt go\vernmtnt in Florida ; and
they ever were doubtful, whether con-
gre-s wild look on their movements
with a friendly eve.

fir what ?- e: ca: us the United States
chuse to be their own masters. No-
thing can be mIl Ce pi epoi.-erous or ab-
siir,', than their ladling principles.-
They donot attemptt to give any rea-
sons for their conduct, but will use
cv.erv exertion to impress upon the
minds of their followers, the infalli-
Lil;lt of their motives,
W\e will cite an instance of the in-
consistency of the federalists, which,..
thl.-ugh it is still fresh in the public re-
mialnbrance, will nut fail to establish
the position of their fallacy: W'e al-
lude to the Louisiana purchase. Un-.
der a federal administration, this tract
of territory vws said to be worth
" thirty millions of dollars, and fifty
thousand lives '" Rather than not ob-
tain it, the party would have plunged
the country into all the horrors of war.
They extolled it to the skies-it was
a paradise-the Eden of America-
and cost what it would,must be added
to our territory. Nothing, however,
to effect the desired purpose was done.
The federal administration passed
away, and with it all their mighty
plans. .iMr. Jefferson, shortly after
he was elected to the presidency, suc-
ceeded in making the purchase for
fifteen millions of dollars : the friends
of our country were satisfied, and
looked upon it as an important ac-
quisition. But ishat said the federal
party ? W. hat was the langLane of
those who had sic recently declared it
to be worth such an immense price ?
They raved like madmen : the once
fertile soil of Louiliana was convert-
ed into a dreary wilderness abounding
with swamps and marshe s-it was no
longer an Eden, blooming like the
.pring-but a brlingl' desert, placed
in the very centre of the torrid Zone.
.And all this 'wonderful transformation
was brought about by the federal inagi
who officiated as high-priests at lihr
altar of falshood and deception, b1e-
cause it was obtained under a repub-
lican administration, at half the-price
stated by the torics, and without the
loss of blood, in the yay of peac-eable
inc-ociatlorn Such is the consistency
of a party wiho have been the bane of
our republic, and who have constantly
kept up the discordant % ell of faction,
ailing at e\ ery thing attached to tile

We are sick of these pretenders to
patriotism-their folly is disgusting.
They may talk as long and as often
:'s they pleas-, ,of their regard for na-
tional interests, but the people will
not become the dupes of fools or hy-

OLD SARUlM.
The following history of the bo-
rough, of old Sarum, is extracted
from the journal of travels lately pub-
lished by Mr. Silliman of Connecticut.
Americans see in this authentic article
an instance of the purity of that stupen-
dous fabric the British constitution,
which bestows on a place, whose ex-
istenice is only to be traced in a ruined
castle, the privilege of the legislature,
while it denies the privilege of one to


two of the rolst indistr'ous cities in
the kingdom, Manchester and Bir-
mingham, containing population of
200,i01) souls. Old Sarum is a spe-
cimen of those numerous sources of
corruption in Great Britain, emphat-
ii allyidenominated rotten boroughs"
-the representatives from which comn-
pre a ni:,joiity of the hli o use of cotm-
mons ; a iih~rl of venal wretches sho
sell their cinscl nces to the mr nister,
and like abject spaniels follow his Icad,
if that should be to the destruction of
their coCiitr' .
'' Th'ie i,,tor- of Old Sarum is,
briefly, tlis. Jus,t by the river there
is a spacious and lofty hill, which from
the remotest antiquity, was occupied
as a military station, and fortified
with a strong castle. All the nobles
of the realm were summoned to this
place, in the reign of the conqueror,
to swear f-elty to him. The town
and cathedral were included within
the limits of the fortili';ations,by which
means the clergy anclpeople were con-
tinually subjected to the oppressions
of the military, and thty suffered from
the want of water also, for which rea-
sons, about six hundred years ago,
they obtained leave from the Pope,,
to remove and build New Sarum or
Salisbury, with the cathedral which
is now there.
From that time Old Sarum de-
clined, and that w'iich was anciently,
one of the most splendid and impor.
rant places in the kingdom, is now a
ruin. The remains of the castle and
ramparts are still to be seen, and they
are so conspicuous anrl commanding
that they struck me with wonder at a
considerable distance, and before I
knew what they were. Of the town
of: Old Sarum, not a single .o''e i-
heft; still the place retains some of its
most important privileges, andalt/: rug/l
no hminan being inhabits there, it .sen,'l
two member to parliament. It is said,
that not long ago, the right of election
was ve-ted in a single person ; niow,
I am told, it resides in seven. T'he
election is held in a booth erected
for the occasion, beneath a particular
tree, % which was pointed out to me by
some people whom I saw in the held.
Old Sarum lives only in history and.
sends two members to parliament, but
Manchester and Birmingham send
none! watch nran.

broken down, mills, milldams, &c. S&c
swept away and dashed to pieces.-
We understand that Pierson's Iron
works and mills at Ramspough, in
Rockland county, have sustained da-
niages which cannot be repaired much


short of S 40,000, the gilt mlli \%as
rased from the foundation and car-
ried to a bridge, at some distance,
where it dashed to pieces, and de-
stroyed the bridge-two men were in
the mill when it fiist began to movee,
but were fortunately got out without
injury -this affair happened in the

LEHi':! COAL.
'A coal mine was discovered some
time ago, by Coln. Jacob Weiss, near
the Lehigh river, aboUt thitty tfive
mil-:s from this borough. ..About ten
days since, Mr. Jacob Weiss, junr.
brought between 60 and 70 bushels
down the Lehigh, in a boat, to this
place. Mr. Gulick, who keeps the
Easton Hotel, immediately purchased
the coal, and had a grate fixed in one
of his rooms in order to try it. It has
been found to answer extremely well,
and is perfectly free from that disa-
greeable smell and smoke, which the
imported or Virginia coal is subject
to. It appears to be a vein of the coal
discovered near Wilkesbarre, and
which has been burnt at Mr. Slayvma-
ker's in Lancaster, the last two or three
years. By the New York papers we
find that coal has been transported
from Wilkesbarrc, down the Susque-'
hanna, in arks to Havre de Grace,
from which place it was shipped to
New York; and has been tried in the
cit\ hotel of that city, and found to
answer much better than was expect-
ed. Indeed the, New York papers
speak of it as far superior to the Li-
%erpoolcoal. Although we hive a-
buridance of coal near the Lehigh, in
this county, we cannot ":rocure a sup.
ply unless the river rises. How ne-
cessary therefore is it that the legis-
lature of our state should applojpriate
a sum of money to dcear the naviga-
tion of the Lehigh. If the Lehigh
was navigable during the summer
mniuirhs, the citii.:ni of Philadelphia
could obtain thi-, coal for about 31
cents per bushel.. [Nortihanm, Far.
