NEXT to the favorable fuffrages of the peo
ple of France, from whom the National As
sembly derive their powers, there could be no
incentive better calculated to encourage them to
proceed, until they have finally completed their
labours, than the approbation of the Represen
tatives of Pennsylvania.
11l the mid-ft of the perplexing silence of those
fiirrouncling nations, who are blinded by preju
dice or awed by despotism, it was grateful tothe

ternal affeiftion, the congratulatory voice of Ame-

We too are eftablilhing (under the constituti
onal authority of a king) that liberty which you
have been able to fecute under governments of a
republican form :—
Liberty, not derived from chartered g ants or
privileges, which ftibverts by the introduction
of het editary distinCtions, that equality of rank,
which in the social state is the unalienable birth-
right of mail : and which, encroaching on the
sacred sovereignty of the people, by pretentions
founded on birth or adventitious rights, ltill ex
hibits, on the bold and resolute features of a re
generated nation, the fears of its ancient Slavery.
A country, fit to receive and nourish the feeds
of this precious liberty, was only to be fought
for in the trans atlantick world :—'Tvvas there,
amongst an infant people, pure, and uncorrupt,
that tbe higher virtues were to be found, fuita
ble to carry into effect, those speculative truths;
against which ignorance and li a bit ual error have
waged continual warfare ; —t ruths, which from
the pride and arrogance of the feudal system,
have been difdaitifully inserted in the lift of Uto
pian opinions, fit only for the dreams of the phi
lanthropist, and not for the practical purposes
of government.—After the fuccefsful experience
of America, it was dill difficult to copy the ex
ample and introduce dniong the degenerated nati
ons of Europe, this invaluable discovery of the
new world ; it required the enlightened energy
and unremitting efforts of a numerous people,
to support a doclrine which was combated by
such powerful enemies, and opposed by such in
veterate prejudices. But at length the revoluti
on is effected, and already do the rights of man,
engravenfon the mofl durable mateiials, adorn

By tlie latir Georgia Gazettes, it appears that
General Jackson is canvatfing the election of Ge
neral Wayne. Mr. Jackson lias publilhed a num
ber of affidavits, to iliew that bribery and falfe
returns were among the expedients adopted to
carry the e!et':ion againll him. In the present
ment of the Grand Jury of Chatham, this elec
tion forms the moll conspicuous article in the lift
of grievances. We may therefore expect there
will be business for the committee of elections in
the next Congress.
Some lare paragraphias in the EngPifh papers
have compared M. La Fayette to Cromwell—biu
wit h what justice, time will elucidate. Two years
experience have however afforded no traits in his
character and coridutft to juftify fucli a compari
son, except his bravery and firninefs. Among
the numerous inltanees of patriotic intrepidity
and'confiltency, which the late crisis produced,
this great character (lands unrivalled—his pi omp
titnde and decision on this emergency, in taking
such measures as the founded wisdom, and molt
consummate prudence could didtate, evince that
t he vigor of his mind, and his political resources,
are adequate both to the high station he fills, and
the most trying exigencies that can occur.
An eminent and experienced phyfttjian of New-'

of the effetfls of ripe fruits in their season upon
the human frame, convinced of their fafety and
real utility, fays, that he has never failed to re
commend them even in those cases 'wherein they
have been supposed 10 do harm.
They arc easy of digestion, friendly to the ft<?
marh and bowels, and ranked among the inol]
delicious cordials.
from their aperient and Faponaceotis quality,
they temperate the bile, and any acrid humour
in the fiift paflages, and gently evacuate them ;
and by these means become the be?t preser
vatives against dysenteries, which! from
an erroneous opinion they have been charged
with being the canfe of.

v " It is for the inrereft of those persons who
now possess the public (lock, to turn their atten
tion to commerce, and to give a helping hand to
that branch on which their whole property de
pends : It is bad policy for them to retire on
their 6 per cents, and to thuJc-tliat their interest
will support them. For if the monied nte'll re
tire from trade, who is to carry it 011 ? Or who
is to pay the reckoning ?— If they are all to live
on the revenue, who is to furnifli the means ? —
If they are all to receive and none to pay, si om
whence is the money to arise !—lf they are all
flock jobbers, and none merchants, who is to fet
tle with the Colleilors ?—lf nobody calls on him,
and his office isdeferted, it is needless to look to
the treasury, or deposit notes in the loan-office.
A few needy individuals in trade, are not equal
to discharge the burden, and if the monied men
defifl from lending a helping hand, and heave
the bnfineft on the shoulders of others, it is pro
bable the revenue will fall vattly fhorr of an
swering their quarterly demands. Bofl.lnd.Chron.
