A writer in the New-York Gazette, on re
storing suspended animation, fays, that the im
mediate causes of death in a drowned person,
are the want of vital air, with loss qf tone in
[tiie moving fibres of the heart it.'elf.
This being admitted, the great object will
be to renew the aftiort of the heart and arteries,
by obviating tiie cautes which have interrupted
their action ; this is to be effected by three in
tentions :
ift. By restoring the heat and refpiiacion ;
this is to be accQinplilhcd, ift- By wiping die
body as dry as pofiible, and then by applying a
gradual uniform degree of heat, either by plac
ing it before a fire, simmering it in a warm
bathe, exposing it to the fun, by the warmth of
another person's body, or by covering it with
warm grains, warm allies, warm sand or fait,
or lastly by rubbing it with warm clothes. 2d.
By repeatedly inflating the lungs, imitating the
alternate motions of natural respiration ; ti i
can be done either by inserting a tube ip the
windpipe, or as recommended by Dr. Monro, by
inserting it into one of the nostrils.
2d. By more immediately reflcring the aftioi.
ofthe moving fibre-.,the means for anfweringtms
intention are, frifliovSy injections of tobaccoJmoke,
vomiting* warm stimulating drinks, &rc.
1 And 3d. By leflening the quanty of blood,
thereby promoting its circulation ; this is only
| to be effected by blood letting, in the use of this
' remedy however some caution is necelfary, left
Iwe take more blocd than is fnfficient to fulfil
I this intention.
These directions have been found repeatedly
fuccefsful.
Mr. Smith late Sheriff of Otfego County, New-York,
concludes an address to the public in the,following
terms.
I cannot help giving it as my opinion that it
was but a (hallow pretence for so horrid a vio
lation of public right, and that the evidence
produced was by far too (lender, on which to
have determined a matter of much less impor
tance. I despise the person who made the affi
davit, they mention, with a view to infmuate a
fraud on my part —and I despise the man, who,
under pretence of believing it, condemned my
conduftr without a hearing, or even informing
me that I was fufpe&ed.—l know that I have
a conscience, and that I fultain a charafrer
which will support me under all the calumnies
of party —ind, I possess a firmnefs and fidelity,
to my trust, which all the bribes and all the of
fices in the power of a monarch to bestow (hall
never make me relinquifli for a moment—l fec-1
the infrilt offered me by the committee—l des
pise the drunken fool who made the
and however dignified his station in the county,
may be, I am not afraid to contrast my reputa
tion with his. lam seldom seen llaggering a
bollft—neither am I in poflefllon of those talents
for chringing and servile flattery, by which he
is so eminently diftinguiflied—-which mark hfm
as the qualified tool of party, and fit him for
any dirty, work his masters.may choose to set
him at.

ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
THE Government of the United States has
been compared to a fhij - —we like the fiiriHc ;
the lhip is thank heaven now under an easy lail,
with a chosen complement of officers and men;
the crew contented and happy—every man un
derstands his duty, and leduloufly performs it—
the prol'pect is flattering—and though the voyage
is long, the concerned have every reason to
hope for the most prosperous issue to the adven
i ture.
There are some fellows who wMhed to enter,
but all the births being taken up, they were not
received—and it appears fortunate —for there
is great reason to suppose they would have railed
a mutiny on board—they turn out to be a que
rulous unealy gang—and are fabricating and
Circulating the most infamous reports reflecting
the voyage the officers and men—it will not
fault if the enterprize does not finally
•msfvarry—and £he fliip founder, or be run on ti c
rocks or quick lands, and there be stove to pie
ces.—These fellows have a few emissaries or.
various parts of the coast, who hang out falfe
lights and make other falfe signals—but the con
cerned repoie the fulleft confidence in the wis
dom and honor of the commander, officers and
crew ; they know them to be old sailors, that
they have been tried and proved in tempestu
ous seasons, and have never failed bringing the
{hip into a iafe port, and are firmly persuaded
that the present voyage will be the molt prof
j perous ever undertaken.
" AHoufe divided against itfelf cannot stand.
This is a quotation !Vom a certain book, which
contains doctrines highly important to the in
terest:. of society and of men. There was a
time whi nits full import was felt by the good
people of this cour.tr* —and tfcey snow realize
the bleflcd efeas. To perfect and perpetuate
the Union of this confederated republic, the
genius of Columbia brought us from the foun
tain of wisdom, the preient constitution of the
United States, that new bond of amity and
(trcngth—this cemented our councils, gave us
laws & fecuritv—treated a firm basis for our ere
ciit—gave wings to our commerce—hope to our
nianuiaftures, and nerved the arm of' agriail-
tare. It opened the strong boM of the miser ;
biafted a baseless paper medium—built a strong
tower of public and private confidence, and
what is more than all—defined government,
and laid in the principles of equal representa
tion, so broad a foundation for civil liberty,
that the people of the United States can never
be enflavecl, except they enilave themselves ;
and this they never xviil do till by the arts of
unprincipled men, they Ihallbe induced to think
contemptibly of their union and government.
There is no leafon to think that a change of
mcafures, without a change of wen jn refpeff to
the government of the United States, would fa
tlsfy the present set of grumblers ; habituated
to a complaining, fault-finding temper, there is
no other way of silencing tliefe croakers, but
by giving them, as the.song, fays, " something
clfe to do."
It is Taid in Tome of the northern paper* that
the complaints against the measures of govern
ment proceed principally from adilaffefted jun
to at the southward ; this idea cannot be sup
posed tl} extend further fcutli than the feat of
government —for excepting now and then a
stray paragraph, produced probably in the only
hotbed of antifederal politics in the Union, there
is scarcely a. single idea of difaffeftion to the
measures of goverrmentto be found in a months'
publication of all the newspapers printed at the
southward of Philadelphia—and there one paper
only, enjoys the singular honor of depreciating
the government, by publication?, which if
founded in the least semblance of truth would
justly render it more deteliable th;,n the old
despotism of France.
The present situation aud circumflances of
the United States, contrasted with what they
were in 1787, is a point blank refutation of
the flanders of that antifederal junto, which
labored so incessantly, but ineffectually to pro
crastinate the happinel's of this country by pre
venting the adoption of the new Constitution.
"tfhis juilto, reduced to a very small number,
haa left-its influence, but has not loft its ve
nomous di"position—it has loft its prudence f.iid
consistency, if it ever poflefled either, but has
not loft its propcnfity to mvfehief.
The Constitution of the United States is re
publican—it is founded on the people, the only
legitimate source of power—the friends of this
Conftitntion are principled in republicanism— j
they imbibed republican sentiments with their I
mother's 'milk—they were nurtured and educa
ted in the dodtrines.of equal rights and equal'
liberty—and yet so confident is the junto, that
they accuse those men who have fought to efta
nlifh the freedom of this country (for these are
the men who Compose the administration of the
government) as calumniators of republicanism;
as agents to a factiou (sometimes it is a f.ifiion
itfelf) who are " paving the way to hereditary
monarchy on the fly destruction of popular go
vernment." It it hardly pofiible to conceive
that the' authors of J'uch paragraphs can be so
Weak as to behei'C what they write.
• ,A coi'refpondent observes, that the enemies j
'of ouv peace are not only mortified at the fuc
cefsful operation of the measures of government
but they appear to be ve?:ed and chagrined that
the people arc contented—and more so that
they ibou'd acknowledge that ttyeir iituation is
prosperous and happy.
It is really difficult to determine with what
propriety the terrrt faClion is applied to the friends
of chose measures of government which have
retrieved the affairs of this country from that
wretched situation into which they were plunged
previous to the adoption of the constitution—
nnd yet these real confident and competent
fr-ends ef the people are net only denonuntted
a ai. u»t Imt aTe xv'.tu great
called "proud ar.d vain worfiiippers ot' arilto
crr.cy and monarchy"—Surely " tj:e grate of
impudence is a growing grace." But the peo
ple oftiiC United Sates are fully apprized of the
, ;. a ,„ trs and views of those perlons who are
•adepts in nothing but finding fault.—Their ob
ject is too apparent to be miflaken ; for, said
d gambler, " I must complain thatthe cards are
badly fla.fficd, till I have .a good hand."
