If these pvecursary symp toms are not speedily alleviated, spasmodic con. vnlsions universally supervene, and soon cause the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who have their little babes afflicted with these dis tressing symptomswouldapply the celebrated Atnetican Soothing Syi up, which has preset vtd hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being'suddenly attacked’with that latal malady convulsions. . , , This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds when, thought past recovery, from convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so inno cent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.—■ When infants are at the age of four months,- though there is no appearance of teeth, one be t tie of the syrup should be used on the gums to open the pores. Parents should never he-with nut the syrup in the nursery where there are young children, for if a child wakes in the night With pain,ill the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, See. * , Beware of Counterfeits.'

' As th a federal party arc at this time, mak ing such extraordinhry and wonderful exer tions to regain 'the political ascendency in -tile: Uni tcll Sfntes which they lost forty years ago. and which they misused to such an ex tent, we will embrace the occasion briefly to I recall to mind some of the measures & occur rences which \ycre experiepccd during their administration, so that the honest citizens, particularly the youthful, to whom many of i these, things are uiiknown. may judge what i is to be expected, should that party succeed [in theiratlempls! WeVill coniine ourselves to facts, such as we rememembcr, or as they 'stand on public record; every one will then I be able to decide better, whether he ought to return to a federal administration of gov ernment, or remain under that of democracy, Soon after the revolutionary war, when ourl independence hud been gained,two.powerful -political parties arose, differing ns to the principles upon which the constitution of the government for the Unipu about to "be formed; should be founded. The one called itself the'FEDEBAt, the other the Democratic party; the federal-party were opposed to a. democratic form of-government, and thought that one entirely dependent .on the will of the people could not exist, ; and was in favor of such a form of government in which the arms of the general government should be' strengthened after the fashion of the British. John Adams, Alexander Hamilton and others were among the defenders of'such a one; and’Hainiltion submitted a plan according to which the President and Senators of the United States,-were chosen for good beha viour, or for life. The democratic, parly, on the contrary, had full confidence in the ability of the peo ple to govern themselves; and was in favor of securing the rights of the states against the general government, and also, lhat-every office holder should be made-responsible to the people, at short periods; through the ballot boxes. The .chief advocates of such, principles, were-Jefferson, Madison, Frank lin, iind o.ther&oT similar stamp.' The Con stitution of the United Slates was formed under such total diversity of opinions. Tiie first election fun President after Washington had retired, took place in NoV. 1796, when Adams and Jefferson were can didates in opposition. At this election' the federalists were successful.in electing Adams •President by a small majority, Adamsbaving 71, and Jetfurson 68 votes —according to the .provisions of the constitution, as at that time existing, Jcffyi became Vice' President; having the second highest vote. Adams ap pointed Hamilton Secretary of the Treasury, and filled (lie other .departments with men of similar; p(tliticul prmciples.V At the same Jfine Hie federal party had decided majorities in both Houses of Congress. Thus organiz-’ ed and, in possession of ;dl the branches of the government, the federalists, on the 4tb of Alafcb, 1797, began their administration, which, however, only lasted four years, and of which we design to bring'sundry incidents to niind, which although -they must be im perfect, shall be correct as far as-they go. It was/iot long .before this adiiiinistralion underf he'pretence ot'"guarding ’against hos tile attempts' which were feared-on the part 4>f the French republic, then existing, began to make preparations for ff-’.dlt. Hurried efforts were made to raise a large navy, and to organize an arniy, (if we are not mistaken of 20 or 30,000 men,) and President Adams tyaS-further authorised to accept the services ofia number of volunteer corps. The offi cers of the army were immediately commis sioned and dispersed over the whole country, in towns and villages, to enlist men fur the army; the offers of volunteer corps were ac cepted, and in a- short time a considerable armed force was at the disposal of the Presi dent. - To defray the-expcnses of tliese warlike preparations, the.'President was allowed by Congress io borfoio tnipniw at. 8 per. cent* interest,- ipno loans could be;oblaiuedi : on better terms, which tpok place. utfd iur tliia manner the national debt grew, iti magnitude.

Democratic ..writers, and. orators attempted to make the-people aware of the danger threatened (heir liberties; in which they at length succeeded, but not without often suffering fine and imprison ment, under the laws framed especially lor that purpose; and when they could not be found gu!l(||by course of law, resource was had to threats and violence, to frighten or force them into silence, as could be shbwn by many-cxairtples; In Northampton county disturbances arose because several of the farmers put obstruc tions to the execution of (heir‘duties by the surveyors of houses—they were immediately complained of, and the United Statcs-Mar-1 shall sent from Philadelhia, to apprehend anti take them into custody.- Thjs made matters worse, as. it.caused collections of'people, who obliged the Marshall, to • release his prisoners, on their own promises of appear ing before the court.-"- ■ ' .. There was reason to believe that this whole disturbance and the military expedition might have been avoided, if the officeholders under the United States government.had treated the people with less haughtiness and rigor, or if the first offenders had 'been brought by the constable or sheriff before the Accustomed, judical institutions; but it seemed as if an opportunity was especially sought to present a striking example to those who expressed dissatisfaction with the mea sures of the federalists as destructive to liberty, in which they might.picture-their own cases.' . : r In consequence, the. counties of Bucks, Northampton and Montgomery were declar ed by President Adams, to be in a state of insurrection, and troops wete collected to sustain the’laws and restore order; among the. troops,who were called on for. tliis pur pose',-was-one of cavalry from Lancaster, who.reached Reading upon the Ist of April, 1799, on their march against the enemy in Northampton; here they soon showed ex amples of their respect for the laws and good order, for the support of which they, were in arins/as will appear by the following exam ples: - Extract from the Reading Adler, April 9, 1799. . “On Mondnydit noon, the Ist inst., Capf.

But .according to their behaviour here, it seems to me these gentle men would answer better to excite the peo ple to insurrection against the constituted authorities, than to force them.to quiet and obedience; for in reality they have done things which are not only in direct opposi tion to the laws of the land and constitution of’the state, hut which are better suited to a land where despotism reigns, &c. &c. • . » “The fitst enterprise.—these gentlemen Light Dragoons of Lancaster, attempted here in Reading, to make the inliabitants of Berks county; awnte of their Herculean powers, was this: they went quietly and unobserved (fur this was their Sampspniali political arti fice, for fear they might, meet opposition,) to a citizen* of our towii, who had planted a liberty pule on his own ground, and cut it down.

' , Col. J; said it was proper for him tivrc markin-that place that he had been person ally acquainted with MARTIN VAN DU RKN for twenty-seven years —that during _■ that long period they.had been identified in the contest for the permanency of democrat ic principles—that he knew .Mr. Van Bhren ever to have been the inflexible apd nndevi ating advocate of the democratic parly—.that he had indisputable documentary euidcncc'm Ids then possession, which proved beyond the cavil of, the most scrupulous that Mr., Van Boren, as early as the yeah 1809, three" jeara before the declaratiob of War, espoused the ;cause of. out country against the British—, - that from that time up to 1813 the period -pf their first acquaintance, ho was the- most zealous advocate of, all the pleasures of dc fence and . redress of the war party —tliat. throughout all the trying time"of-lhe war he knew Mr. Van Burcn Xo ImVo been one ot the firmest patriots, and one in whom the entire democratic party df New Yurk placed the most unlimited confidence; hero’s lb’wVs, receiVedlvith the most unbounded npplausd by the audience; and with marks of chagrin, displeasure and disappointment.by the federalists who were scattered heie and;there*- _ • In" the rhoTiiing thu must studious efforts , were made by a large portion of the Zanes ville federalists to Show their regard, for Col.
