A Hint to tlx Wife.
A gentleman who has visited Alia, fug
to his fdlow-citizcns who are extract
ing sugar from the Maple Tree, that it
maybe more advantageous to make the
incision higher than they do at j.efent, for
the Asiatics always cut the Palmira Tree
just below the firit branches, and of the
liquor they make both sugar & an intoxi
cating drink. If the iaccharine juice is
formed by the combination of the parti
cular property of the Maple Tree, with
water whicti rises from the earth, it is na
tural to suppose that the present method of
collecting the sap jult above ground
before it has undergone much commixture
will be attended with its prelent result viz.
a great quantity of water and very little
firrup.
If upon experiment it fhail be found
that more sugar is made from a less quan
tity of sap when the incision is mad*" high
up, one great advantage will be that left,
labor will be required ti colic# the sap and
16 evaporate the water.

A wonderful Jlory in a •wonderful letter,
said to be front Liverpool to a person in
Philadelphia.
" A wonderful story was made of an at
tempt to take away the life of George the
Illd by the Grace of God, &c. at the thea
tre, the other evening. A boy, who when
at home amuses himfelf sometimes with his
companions in blowing darts, was seen in
the pit/ Some unlucky perfous happen
ed inform ministers of it, &it was immedi
ately declaredthatthe body of his royal ma
jesty was undoubtedly intended to be ta
ken away by a poiloned dart! The boy,
and his companion were taken up, and
Billy Pitt & Co. have employed them
selves a whole week in developing and in
vestigating this affair. The boys have been
brought up, and examined .very day, and
remanded back to prison. The utmost se
crecy and importance are attached to the
buflnefs by ministers, 2nd this is quite
enough to ihake people helieve it, which
is all that is wanted.
But those Who think for them!elves fee
thro' the scheme which is nothing more
than an attempt to engage our attention,
while the necefTary supplies, &c are grant
ed by Parliament. There is also another
mattei 1 going to be put into execution to
aid the above : i. e. the trials of our state
prisoners who have been confined in the
Tower, and other prisons, for several
months on charges of high treason. These
are brought forward too just at the meeting
of Parliament. If Mr. Burke was thinking
of this country, when he said that " go
vernment is a contrivance of human wis
dom," he said very true. It is so, and the
farce is played off for the benefit of the Go
vernors, and of those " whom it de
lighteth them to honor.
" We have lately had from you a
small pamphlet, entitled, Remarks on
the Emigration of Dr. Priestley. I
think it the moll scandalous publication
tliat ever ifltied from any press. There
has been so much beating up for wit
nesses againftthe prisoners in the tower,
and there appears so much desire on
the part of ministers tofind them guilty
that it will be miraculous if they come
off. Henry Yorke it to be tried at
York."

Ms.. Fenho,
ON looking over the public pap e rs>
containing the debates in the House of
Repiefentatives in Congress, refpe&ing
the opposition cluls, or what are called
Democratic Societies, I have been led
to take a retrofpedl of our politics for
fume time back. The a&ive campaign
of the anti-federalifts, wherein it was
attempted to force the strong lines of
the government, may justly be said to
have opened in the month of May,
1793, immediately after the landing of
Genet in Charlerton, and to have closed
with the rendezvous of the militia army
at the foot of the Allegheny mountain
in Otfcober last. A fruitlefs insurrec
tion (fruitlefs in other refpe&s only as
it may serve to convince men of their
errors, and the world that the great bo
dy of the people of this country will
maintain a good republican form of go
vernment) in four of the western coun
ties of Pennsylvania, is all that has been
produced by the unexampled zeal and
niduftry of the whole party for a course
of years; with all their town-meetings,
publications in the shape of hand-bills,
circular letters, newspapers, pamphlets,
and fpeecl:s in C (
Mecn indeed rr.'ift be the opinion en
tertained by David Bradford and his af
lociates, of certain chara&ers who
them encouragement 'to go on aud do
as they did, and who have not now the
spirit to lisp a single fentenee in direst
terms in his or their own favour. On
the contrary, the common language is,
that the President and people of the ar
my have deserved well of their country.
These met) deceived themselves and were
deceived by others. They were miltaken
in regard to their own power and in
fluence, the number of their friends,
and the part that would be a&ed by in
dividuals.
The honest zeal discovered by Ibmc
of our Representatives in f
derand good govern .• v ipro-
fit ion to the viewi ■; .
reft and govern the focltiiui wjs highly
commendable.- It oug.it to be adopted
as a JirJl principle by every friend to his
count)y, that like mutiuy in an army,"
/edition Ihould be opposed and discoun
tenanced wherever, or in whatsoever
lhape it may appear; and it is to be .a
mented that the friends of government
in the western counties did not, at an
early period, unite and make a (land in
support of the laws. By this means
they might have awed the difaffe&ed
into fubmiflion, preserved the Ameri
can character, and prerented the im
mense trouble and expence incurred by
marching an army.
Viewing the fubjeft in this light, It
is to be feared that some blame may be
laid to the charge of their magistrates
•and influential citizens, for there can he
little doubt that even in these counties
there is public virtue enough to be fouud
among the people, it there were fit in
struments always willing to draw it in
to exercise. Every man owes some
kind of duty to society, and to fay no
thing of the binding nature of oaths to
" support and maintain constitutions
and laws, &c. &c." in ought to be re
membered, that in the catalogue of
damning fins, those of omission are not
considered as the least in magnitude.
Certain it is that if half the pains
were made use of by one part of the
community to explain the laws and en
force obedience to tliem, that there is
taken by another to excite clamours and
prejudices against the government, wf
would have no infurre&ions.
1 am sorry to find that there is still
so much time unneccfiarjly wafted in
Congress. From what is said on some
questions, a person unacquainted with
the people of this country might be led
to believe that the principles of icpubli
canifm and free government were only to
be found in some of the southern states,
and that an entire change had taken
place in those of the eastern. 1 have
charity to believe that some of the south
ern gentlemen really wi(h to be good
republicans, and may pofiibly think
themselves so ; but it will require time
for many of them to get faitly into the
pra&ice of it.
The habits acquired by their educa
tion and mariner of living are against
them. Things that approach in any
degree towards diftinftions in rank, and
the privileged orders of a Kingly go
vernment, are injurious to the political
morals of a republic ; and the world
will never admit that those who hold,
or consent to holding their fellow crea
tures in degraded Jlavery, have just ideas
of liberty and equality.
Like some of our newly imported Ja
cobins, these men take uncommon pains
in their bwn way to make us believe in
the sincerity of their attachments to
democratic and republican principles, as
if there was a confcioufhefs of canfe for
suspicion ; while those who have been
uniform in the practice of the true faith,
and support of the present government,
deal with ease and confidence on an es
tablished credit.
I have been lately told, that general
ly speaking, the people in the southern
states are now right in their politics;
and if Io they might pofiibly consider
the present remarks as a (lander.
In anfwei 1 can only fay, that I
judge from a sample.

leot to the Senate. The liieiilt ad
journed at 12 o'clock this day. -
Th« committee to whom was referred
that part of the Preiidem's Speech.
Which relates to the policy of indem
nifying the iuffereis by the depre
dations of the •inftirgents i.i »he, we It
em counties of Petuiiylvania,
TtepoiTltle following refohttTOTis, viz.
•RESOLVED, That the Pielidetit
of th« United States be icqr.eited to
cause an afceitainment to be iivade of
the loil'es fuHaiwcd by the otHcers of go
vernment, and other citizens, in .'their
property (in ■consequence of their ex
ertions in support of th< laws} by the
inlurgents in the wefiern counties «jf
Penafylvania.
Resolved, That the President be au
thored to draw out of the Tteaftr.y of
the United States, the film of . A
dollais, to be applied by him to aid the
said fnfferers in repairing their lclTcs.
The above resolutions have given rife
to debate in the House—various opini
ons on the best mode of indemnii)
the fufferen appear to be enteitained by
the speakers.
It was said that the injured parties
ought to fcek reparation in the courts of.
law in the firit instance—and if indem
nification could not be obtained from
the aggrtflbrs, then government ihouid
afford its aid ; but a/i immediate in
demnification will operate to fereeil the
guilty> and transfer their puuifhment io
far as refpefts property to the innocci.t
and the community at large ; for it is
absurd to iuppofe a man would appeXr.
i in a court of juitiee to prosecute for that
i which he had already received. An
! objection was alio drawn from another
quarter, that if pertons who lose pro
perty in civil commotions, find no d:i
---1 hculty in obtaining indemnification; it
j will render people caielefs and indiffer
ent in defending their property. It
! might influence abandoned persons to
: contrive local infurreftions for the very
! purpose of fleecing the public. 1 hels
objedlions were replied to, by urging
the juflice of the claim of the fufferers,
| and the extreme danger which will at ife,
should those who distinguish themielves
as supporters of the laws, be expol.-d to
lofTes in proportion to their patiio:;fm
and signal exertions t<? uphold the
govt. The fubjett of these resolutions
is yet before the House.

—Rcfolved That the.jperfons chofcn at
the last general election for the countiea
of Weftmoreland, Walhington, Fayette,

the time of the election, in a state of

Last evening arrived the (hip Fame,
in 54 days from Leith.
A great talent for converfalion re
quires at least to be accompanied with
a degree of politeness. He who out
lines others, owes to them a great deal
of polite attention.
A familiarity contarifled by the flriiteft
continued friendfhip, docs not diipenfi
from politeness ; and the freedom permit
ted among friends ought always to be ac
companied with it, efpec'.ally in the pre
fenge of others. As there can be no true
i friendfhip without efietm, at least to i
certain degree, and' n: c rtain refpedls,
two friends owe to each other marks of
deem, an well as marks of friendfhip.—
Friendftvp• a.-e often SrcJ.e or at lcaft in
terrupted, because that under the pretext
of ailing frtjely . a n,d without tcfeiv*, they
come infenlibiy to behave wiihout polite
ness. —-
There is no position however plain
and demonfttable which will not meet
with oppofifion.
To find fault with what is obviously
amiss requites no uncommon talents—
but to start difficulties with refptft to
that which ajl thewotld besides acknow

doubtedly is a iigu or lymptom at ieilt
of uncommon abilities.
