Philadelphia, Odt. 6th, 1800.
To the Committee of Health in Baltimore.
WE received your letter of the 22d
ultimo, in answer to ours which you ob
serve is without date.
The collection made in this City, and
the Liberties to relieve Baltimore, was
founded upon a very affefting appeal of
your Committee to your own citizens,
dated the 9th mo. 10th, 1800, in which
you fay the fever rages at Fell's Point,
and the poor Jthereof have nothing to
depend on for support but your City
funds, and you call upon your inhabi
tants at large to give their afliftance.
To us you fay, that your country a
bounds in provisions, &c. and that your
funds have been fully adequate to all
the demands that have been made upon
them to the 26th of September ; but
how far this may be the cafe at the end
of this awful viiitation, you do not
know. That indeed .is very uncer
tain ; but from forrowful experience of
fucha lltuation as yours, we know that
• the expence attending it exceeded By far
all our calculations ; and fearing it
might also exceed yours, we were anx
ious to give you an evidence of good
will, by affording you, if it might be ac
ceptable, a little afliftance.—We accord
ingly put forward a subscription, and had
reason to expert we should ha\x sent
you Seven Thousand Dollars; but the
receipt of your letter has very much im
peded the progress of all our collections ;
many of our citizens believing from the
tenor of it, that you felt unwilling to ac
cept of any thing from us: We how
ever have sent you in their behalf three
thonfand doll:* for the present, and
hope it will be ufeful, and in a few days
moijp, we expert to fend you another re
mittance.
We arc your real Friends,
In behalf of the Committee of Corrreipondtnce,
SAMUEL COATS, Chairman,
P. S The remittance is in the draft
encloied of Jonathan Smith, Cashier of
the Bank of Pennsylvania, on the Cash
ier of the Bank of Baltimore.
To the Committee of Correspondence with
Baltimore, Norfolk and Providence.
YOUR favour of the 6th instant we
have received,covering Jonathan Smith's
draft on the Bank of Baltimore for three
thousand dollars, being a donation of
your citizens, for the relief of the poor
and diftrefieel of this city, which was ac
ceptable, and we trust it will be laid out
for the purpose for which it was in
tended.
You obferv£ that the recerpt of the
letter from the Board of Health, very
much impeded the progress of all your
collections, from a belief that they were
unwilling to accept any thing from you.
This we apprehend is not a fair construc
tion of the plain and obvious meaning
of it, which was to inform you, that the
licknefs and circumstances attending it,
had already occasioned a very considera
ble expence, but what the amount of it
might be in the conclulion, was altoge
ther uncertain —This was in answer to
your request, of being informed gene
rally of our Situation.
Whether it would have been more
pleasing to some, to have represented our
Situation more diftrefiing and pitiable,
was with them no consideration, nor
what they had in view. They Stated a
fatt, and left it with_you to aSford our
citizens any, or what fatisfaftion you
might'(Slink proper. —You mentioned
your intention to divide your donations
between three places, they, therefore,
carefully guarded against every expref
iion that might be con (trued, as though
"they wanted to engrois an over propor
tion to themselves.
Thus far we have thought it might
be neceiTary to. explain, with a view to
remove any misrepresentation that might
have taken place on the occaiion, not
wishing that the effort might destroy
that good understanding that ought to
fubfilt between the vnq cities.
We are your Frienas,
ADAM FONERDEN, 1 Com'rs of

Baltimore, October 13, 1800.
From the (Boston) Columbian Centinel.
The result of the Prtfidential ele&ion in
December next, greatly interells and agitates
the public mind. From the bell information
drawn from real information received from
all the dates, it is tendered highly probable
tJfat the following will be the reiult of the
choice.
The whole number of votes to be taken is
138, of which 70 is the majority.
/ ADAMS. JEFFERSON.
Five Northern states, 39 o
New-York o 11
New-Jersey 7 o
Pcnnfylvin'ia j 1®
Delaware
Maryland
Virginia
North-Carolina 6
Delaware 3 os
Maryland 7 3 '
Virginia o at
North-Carolina 6 6
S 3 I
Georgia ® 4
Kentucky o 4
Teneffec o 3
This result is predicated upon the idea of
the exiilence of an honourable confidence bet
ween all the Federalists of the Union, that
such electors will bechofen as will votefully
and fairly for JOHN ADAMS as Prelidcnt
and Charles Cotestvoi tb Finckney, as Vice-
Piefident.—lt'this confidence is well found
ed. it is certain that Mr. Adams will be con
tinued Prcfid-nt, and Gen. Pincknsy be el
edled Vice-l'relldent of the United States—
an event moil d;voutly to be wilhed. But
if Electors are appointed who will not vote
thus honourably and fairly, it is highly pro
bable, that no one of the candidates will have
a majority of the votes. For if the Federal
Ele&ors of the Soutuern States ascertain
that such men are chosen Electors in the
Northern, as will throw aw. y the votes of
either of the Federal Candidates they will
exercile the fame privilege, and throw away
theirs of the other, in plain woids—if the
Maflachuietu Lljttors, for inflancr, throw
away, as they did at the last choice, their
votes from Pinckney, the South-Carolinians
will throw theirs away from Adams. In this
Cafe (which may Heaven avert) the persons
having the five highest numbers of votes ot
the Eledto rs will be the Candidates ; from
which the present House of Representatives
of the United States, mull eleft the Presi
dent ; bat in this cafe, two thirds of the
States inuft be reprefrnted, the ele&ion made
by States, and a majority of the flitesnecef
fary to conditute the choice. The votes of
nine slates will therefore make a choice.'
The queftton thru is,'which are the Scutes
from which Federal votes may be expedled ?
We answer, New-Kamplliire, Mafiachu*
setts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, New-Jer
sey, Delaware, Maryland, North-Carolina,
South-Carolina, and Georgia—Ten in all.
—But for whom will they vote ? The (even
former for Mr. Adams, the three latter f»r
Gen., Pinckney. Thus no choice will be
made without a mutal ccmpromife. The
States of New-York, Pennsylvania, Virgin
ia, Kentucky, and TennefTee, will unquef
tionxbly vote for Mr. Jefferf.ni —VeMnont
will probably be divided, and ofcourfe lool'e
its vofe.
The abeve Fa&s speak ieeli.igly to the
good sense of the N«thcrn States; and point
rut to them the absolute Neceflity of ap.
pointing Eleftors who are known to be Men,
who will vote, one and_ all for Adams and :
Pinckney \ —and we pledge onrfclves they I
will not be-betrayed or deceived by their
Southern Brethern.

pal question before the Board was—" Whe
ther Aliens had a right to vote The
Council for the appellants were, MelTrs-
Yates, Bird, .and Woodworth—fnr the rof
pondents, the Attorney MelTrs
Lulh and Emott. The arguments oil both
fides were lengthy and
course of the debate, the councel for Appefe
lants contended, that if Aliens were allowed
to vote, not only Polanders, MufcovitesJ
Hottentots, but eve;i Indians had the right
and might be elcoWd to our mofl important
office?. These arguments, although they
appeared to me to be better calculated for a
National Aflembly, had their intended
weight ; for, contrary to a solemn adjudica
tion of the Suprems Court of this state, ill
1789, they declared, by a majority of one,
that Alien Inhabitants had not a right te
vote for charter Officers.
On the question, the Board divided aa
