A Report having prevailed tpt-fe
veral daya past that Kine pox had ap
peared at Marblehfttid with fymptoir.s i>i
unheard of virulettcy, apE.e.ven contagion,
I feel my ft If partiiutarly lipunii to give the
public an hi It cry rif the .fa£\s which gave
rife to iti paving introduced thfc Kiiie
pox into this country, I oofleeive mylelf
obligated to give a generous public a faith
ful hifiory of iti progress, even if Itfhauld
liereat'ter turn aut ditfVrent fro'ui vtiy fir ft

tin the 14th of QAobei*; Db&or Eliflia
Story, of jli'aiblt liead} feat to m« for the
Kinepox matterj which I immediately lVht
liini. His fdrt, who did the mcfTagcr. in—
formed, me that his father had imported
some froiM London, and haeUnocirtated his
(ifter with it, but htfving waited twelve
days, and finding no symptoms »o follow,
concluded the matter was baSfand therefore
wiHied for foine of mine. Three d»ys after,
viz. on the IT'.h. Dr. Story wrote tout,
that he had not used the matter I sent, for
his daughter had that morning broken ;out
with the dil'eafe, Vhidh was 15 days after
he had inoculated her.
Even at the time I was (truck with the
. description of it. He described the fyrap
toms as very high, " accompanied with a
great number of poftiiles, small and bard
in the Jlcsb, with a small margin of tnjla
inatim around the fame." Appearances
that never occur in the: Kine—Pox. About
this time 1 innoculated the son of Dr.
Druiy,'(t|ie other Vbvliciah »f Marblehead)
*fyr the Kine-Pox, and thereby allowed his
father a croji of matter for his own prac-
tice
When I heart) that tlie Kine-Pox was
raging at Marblehead and Beverly, and
that Come were blind with it, and that it
worrover proved con'ageous; and when I
recoile&tfd ihe fymptoins, as defcril ed y
Dr. Story, my mind was drongly imprelTed
that it was ny/tt.e Kine-Pox, nor a mix
ture of it, the' Siiiatl-P,ix.
Oil the 12th. of the present month) Mr.
Joseph Stojy called on me again, faying
that his father wiflied forfonie of my Kine
lj(»x.n>»tW',for that the Kine'-pox, or some
thing like it, had a rife;) f-om th matter
•tvhich he had. imported,-but* with very
alaimin* api-.eara»c**--v- feverJl
-*'tn liUaus <*TSSTein hfl vlffted them ; that
some y c\e of opinion '.hat it -was the Kine
pox-.e-ging, in what t))ey C.'mccivccl its na
tural progress, down to the maligni
ty of the Small Pox; and that o
thei s iuppofed it a mixture of both. But
what my opinion that it was the
ter Wi'h which his father inoculated, was
taken from the arm of a sailor, on the pas
sage between London and M*rWehead, by
one of his brothers who wjs oii board th«
(liip which sailor was'probably ipaculaitd
with the Small Pox before he left England;
or <lfe was inoculated for the Ki'ie-pox,and
previsufly caught the ftnall pox. I told
Mr. Story that inflead of fending the mat
ter of the Kine-pox, I would go down to
Marblehead myfelf, for I conceived it an
affairs of two much importance to the pub
lie, to (uffer it to pass without a thorough
investigation, and that there were several
criteria by whirh the leal disease might be |
determined, for example, by inoculating a
Cow, if it were the Klne pox, (lie would
.take it ; if it was the (lie would
not, If a lance: be dipped into the matter
of one it-would corrode it in less than an
hour ; if in the other it would not, &c. Bcc. ;
I have been thusparticular because ithas
been faVd that the disease at Marblejiead
was the Kmc Pox, the disease which I had
introduced, and described as fafe, mild, and
comparatively pleM'ant, and which has ne
ver yet proved fatal.
I t'hbught-it prudent firfl to consult the
p'hyficians of Salem, w'ho had visited .the
fuk at Mart.*-head. They were, I found,
decidedly of opinion that the disorder was
no other than the genuine Small Pox
When I armed at Marble head, £}r. Story
bimfeil: r.or.firmed this idea by a plain and
candid hillory of the matter. 'i'h e public
authority was To convinced of it, as to grant
liberty to inoculate dire&ly for the Small
Pox, which is now going forward, while no
tfne prete'nds to inocfllate for the Kine Pox.
As to Dr. Mory, though unfortunate, the
mofl moderate and reflecting of hi 3 fellow
towiifmen consider. his,(it-nation with com
mentfable Candour, and fay, that his son
believed it to be the Kine Pox matter or
he would not have taken it from the arm
of the fail or and given it to his father as
such.nor could the father hav« fufpefted
it to be the Small Pox, when he com
municated it; in so unguarded a manner
to his own family, It is however, a
Very serious warning to pra&ioncrs and
•Very one else, how they received matter
of whose erigiri and hillory they are ig
rlortint. There are persons going about
tlie country at this tinje, inoculating
for one dollar a bead, who never (tudied
physic nor ever pretended to. They tell
the people that the Kine pox requires
neither medicines nor medical (kill ex
cepting in the mere operation on-the
arm-, lhat there are such bold preten
ders is not extraordinary, but that they
fliould meet with encouragement is fe

ing their matter to be good) cannot tell,
when the fympt£>ms ait scarcely difcer

disease or not, hence disasters must and

As to the opinion that the Kine pox will
incrtafein virulency an til it finally becomes
cbr Pox, I never heard nor experien
ced any thing that favours the notion, but
quite tlie reverie. If >ve are to of the
force of xhedireitfe byihe numberofpullule ,
it certainly becomes milder as it recedes
from the cow. It is well known that cold
diminishes t[ie activity of tfbrile puilVms,
and whoever comparer the activity oi the

wltti its operatron at prel'ent, will at once
allow that weather has by 110 means

I have-never seen a cafe ef the Kine-pox
any how alarming, t have .never known
any bad effedts to follow from the diflem
per, bac have noticed very good
aiitfes in fevferal child ion, who before the
ittochlation looked pale and weakly. Ev
ery child I iuoc «lated in July and Augxjfl
escaped the common autumnal disorders.
Itio not believe there «ver was a being hu
man or brute, everdied with the ICine

that it is a prrfeik security from the Small
Pox, and thu ic will- finally exteimLua*.e

Ext'raQ of a letter fro:n a refpe&able house
in London, to tlieir correspondent in
Charleston, received hy the Miflifippi,
via Virginia.
London, Sept. 8, 'BOO.
" We feel it our duty to trouble you
with this letter, that you may recommend
to the <130(1 serious conlideration of the
planters a greater care and attention in
the gathering, cleaning and preparing their
cotton for the Britifli market.
" TVe complaints made by our manufac
turers are as follow :
Id: The nixing the daincd and undained
together.
2d. The mixing the white cotton and
that which is of a blue or blueifh cad.
3d. The qaantity of dirt and dud in tbe
cotton.
4th. Ilie'numbfr of fepil] and baid
,luro/ and Unou ip the cotton.
" N# fault is generally found with the
bagging or the condition of the cotton, so
far as the packing is concerned, but we re
commend to weigh from 250 to 280Uw.
being more hand/ to move, and fru liable
to rxpen'fe in repairs. From the defe&s a—
bove mentioned the London buyer is afraid
I to purchase Georgia aotton, without infpec
-1 ting eve v bag, whereas he is in the habit of
; buying the Weft India or after look
ing at a few of the bales; and even when
he cii t purchase a large parcel of Georgia,
! he is fu'e to be.blaaned by his principal in
thi- country, for buying fueb mixed parceL;
for this reatoh he Commonly infill.. on pick
ing, by which means eflential injuiy is done
: to the* whole, and what remains on hand
j goes off at a very inferior price.
I *•' When a buyer comes t» you, the fird
, thing he fays to you is, " 1 would_ rather buy
j vour Bourbon, Demarara, or Surnnam, if
I yoti have any; when I purchase them I
; know what 1 buy, which is not the cafe
| with Georgia.
I 'i If the Carolina planter think* that th* |
trouble,of preparing his cottot nicely, is too
I great, and therefore r-folves to take less
pains and he content with a finaller price, he
will find himfelf deceived, and is not aware
of the evils that '/till follow, and which will
amount to little less than the ruin of this
great staple of the fauthern dates.
" So long as the Carolina planter will pre
pare his cotton in the very bed mannm for
market, he need fear no competition. The
natural fupe'iority is such, that no influx
from the East or Weft indies, the Brazils
or Smyrna, can materially affeft it. The
merchant in Charledon does not rely entire
ly on his correspondent in England, and
wait for his information, but looking prin
cipally to Charledon and Savannah, the
quantities made and other local circumdan
res of (hipping, &c. offers a price according
ly : and if the planter chooses to ronfigH,
the conlignee in England is happy to re
ceive his consignment, and will be sure to
difpote of it to advantage.
" But if the Carolina planter ne
glefls to prepare his cotton, he mud be
content to be on a level with other planters
in other parts of the world ; the conle
quence will be that the sal* of nis cotton
(which would be in a great measure, inde
pendent of the crops of other countries)
muit depend sntirely on the profpe&s in
other parts of the glebe, with this certain
disadvantage of always being artificially
inferior in point of preparation. The mer
chant* in Charledon, therefore, will be
as Ito buy—the consignees in England
will be afraid to receive consignments, and
the rniinufafUirer will oiily purchase Geor
gia, when he can pUrchale none other.
—lf one half or more *te negligent this
will injure those who are ertr so careful and
adroit.

and attention. This adviceis the result of

A SKETCH OF PAR L lES.
The history of past ftges juftilies as in
faying, that party diviiions are infeperable
from free government. It is not therefore
now to be wondered that the Federal Go
vernment, which has jnorj; freedom to boast
of than any other in the civilized world,
(hould be disturbed by party spirit.
If we look at the columns of a certain
daily paper, if we read the phamplets which
-pour in upon us from the northern dates', if
we attend to the conversation of the demo
cratic clubs, we Ihall fee such a pi dure' of
degeneracy, profligacy and im/K.cihty drawn
far the Goverritnent of the United ;States,
that at ihe fii-fi view wc stud it impoifiblc
not to exclaim " the country is ruined 1"
It is not the proceedings of one, of two, or
of three, but of every session of C'ongteft
lince the exiftenrx of the federal govern
ment, which ■ hive been violently attacked
I and fhamefully mifreprefeoted.
| When George Washington was firft ciK
led to fill the executive department of a go
vernment when new and untried, it was
hoped by good men that his known integri
ty, his sober judgement and his purepatrio
t'fin, would have placed him beyond the
reach of calumny, above all it never could
have been imagined that he who had made
such a noble and luccefsful reliftauce against
the Britilh monarch, would live to fee liim
felf accused of being an apostate from free
dom, <md of a design to impoC; the form and
the fubUance of monarchical government
upon that country, where he had eretted
the ftaryiard of liberty ; but how vain were
theft: pleasing expectations, fcarely wus the
great and good man fested in the chair to
which he was invited by the unanimous and
afle&ionate voice "Of United America, when

To behold a great republican at the head
of our new republic was a grand and an in

of all Americans But from the nature of
his rtfKct it migiit.well have been expe&ed
that this lunfhine of universal fatistaClion,
at his elevation, would soon be clouded, '
for by the constitution, the power of making j
appointments is veiled in the Prefjdent.
The candidates for the difFt-rent offices ;
were exceedingly numerous, I'o much so, that ,

and misrepresented by the opposition. In
illuflfntion of this fad, it is worth obferv- I
in'g, that during tlie preficiency of Mr.

The Earl of Chatham, who was a friend
to liberty, and one of the most enlightened
(htefmen that any age or country ever pro
duced, had a plain maxim to which he ad
hered—and by which I with that I and all
my fellow citizens would govern ourfelvvs.
It was to use his own words this, " that in
qneftions in which my liberty and my pro
perty are concerned, I Will cosfult and
be determined by the dittatcs of common
sense."
Let us, for ourselves; ad'>pt a maxim Co
full of and of caution, and d'ftiuft
'"g the refinement of learning, adhere to
, that common sense which God has given us
to dire£l us in our walk; through life.
This will enable us far better than any (cv
notorial speeches, to know with certainty
whether our liberties and property are real
ly in danger. Let us examine by Jiis excel
lent rule, what are the grievances which TeaU
ly doexifl, what are the dangers that really
do threaten our liberties, and what are the
attempts really made to rob us of our pro-"
pertyr—But in this investigation, let us turn
with difgufl from A; filfe liirht held out
by fadtion to mislead us—Let us not be
■fatisfied to look at the pi&ure as pref.-nted
by those who have for years pall been mif
pending their time and faciificing honor
and character in the vain pursuit of high of
fice, for which th;y luvebeen pronounced
unfit. Persons of this description are eith
er in that angry or gloomy state of mind
which render it impoflible for them to take,
much less for to give, a cot reft view of the
political fhte of affairs. As on the one
hand I do not desire that we should believe
the accounts furhifhed u's4>y"the oppolition,
because they a*e too much chagrined and
mortified it their repeated difapptrintment, to
(late things with candour and fairnefs so
1 on the other hand lam not disposed to take
for granted, every thing which the officers
'of government tell us of'the flourilhing and
: happy condition of our country, tor it is
i natural to they who are con
, during the atfafrsof government feel a fat-
and a triumph in feeing'the aburi,
dant -fruits of,theirpatriotic labours, which
may lead them into the error of being to
fa,nguinr,- it is therefore quite as probable
that the colouring they'"give to our political
lit nation, may be as much too glowing, as
that the pifture drawn by those who cannot
get too gloomy and dismal.
To. fix o.nr judgment then between these
contending parties, in, my opinion it'-is fafeft,
l it is wi left, it is belt to adopt the maxim of
the enlightened states-man whom I have jnft
■ mentioned. Prpvideßce has given percep.
tions cleare nough to observe" at a distance,
• the approaches of tyranny, and slavery ;and
and as the predominent featnre in the Amer
ican clvaratter is a love of freedom, the
conftitoted authorities will scarcely be mad
or fool ifh enough to attempt to wrefl it from
us or to cajole us out ofit-our common
feule will jjive us warning and our republi
can spirit will prevent it. •
While we are free however, let us make
use of our liberty in searching for the griev
ance which the opposition tell uiexifb in our
government ; the greatefl grievance com
plained of is that we are enormously taxed ;
For what purposes are we taxed ; is it to
subsidize any of the belligerent powers in
Europe > if so, opposition ought to be more
xlamorous than they are. Isit to raifu
large armies to flrengthen the government f
no. Is it to raise large fumt of money to
throw away upon the officers of govern
ment ? certainly not; for there is not one
•f them who can make his friary answer -his
expences, unless he uses the most rigid
economy.—.For what purpose then is it that
we are taxed*!' I will truty state, to piy our
debts, and the expences of a government
which we ourselves have chosen as one bed
calculated to prote£l our lives, liberties and
! property.
Another charge is, that our government
is approximating faft to a system of mixed
or absolute monarchy. In answer to this
let this ouly be remembered that the confti
ttition has provided against such a change
by giving back to us, (I mean by us the
citizens at large) at slated periods, all pow
er—:the great officers of government are
( eleifted for a limited time, and if, at the end
of those periods, we are are not fatisfied
with their cor.djift: .we have it is our
power to prevent their continuing in office,
by withholding our fuffreges.from them.'
