How is this money obtained, which is thus lavishly squandered upon the scapegoat gallows scoundrel? Is it not taken from the “mouth of the earth”—or borrowed at interest, which must be paid by the hard earning of industry? Does any man doubt the fact that 50,000 dollars have been paid to this modern Judas?—I pledge myself for this truth, it has been, it can be proved to be untrue. Warrants from the treasury have been issued and are damning proofs of. The baseness of this transaction, if this can be disproved, will abandon forever all my confidence. The official measures. I am ready to take my political creed in this point. My Countrymen—The first Monday of April will give you an opportunity to rescue yourselves from the degraded and debased situation in which you are placed by this "damp and debased" condition of weakness, folly, and despotism." Another attempt at imposition. The Deceivers of the people are circulating in this vicinity that the Hon. Samuel Dexter has joined the ranks of democracy. In contradiction to this pitiful falshood, it is only necessary to add the remarks of the editor of the Centinel on Mr. Dexter’s Speech at a meeting of the Citizens of Boston, held on Tuesday last, in the Hall of Liberty, for the purpose of adopting resolutions to obtain a return of our former prosperity and to express their approbation of the nomination of Caleb Strong for the office of Chief Magistrate. Hon. Mr. Dexter addressed his fellow citizens in a very able and eloquent speech, in which the great principles of the Federalists, which raised our Country to prosperity and glory, were amply displayed; and were ably contrasted with the weak and shuffling anticipated and measures which have caused the decline of that prosperity, and the extinction of our national glory. Hon. Mr. Otis concluded with an eloquent appeal to the experience of his fellow citizens, particularly those whose dependence for support is connected with Commerce, on the practiced effect of the Washington policy, and Jefferson expedients, on their callings their comforts and their purses. The Democrats in this town are busy in reporting that the Hon. Mr. Dr. Dexter, of Boston, has deserted his federal principles and turned down Democrats. It so happens that on Monday last he made a most nervous and eloquent speech in the federal Caucus at Fanual Hall in favor of the Washington system, and against the pitiful and wretched measures of our general and state. The Governor's actions—He delighted all who heard him—However, this is a common sort of deception in the spring. It shows how much they prize the importance of a federal name, and how much honor they think it bestows on their cause. A anecdote of a certain young Colonel and Senator. About the time when the Major turned his coat, Doctor C. told him that he understood that he had met with an extraordinary change. I tell you what he says the Major, it is all nonsense, to kick against the tricks—I tell you what to do, I will not be rode, and you and I may differ, "ride them as not." Speak for yourself, major, says the Doctor. We expect soon to see the Major upon his great horse. War! or No War! That is the question. We have it from good authority, that a gentleman, directly from Washington, high in The confidence of the administration, knitting a distinguished judicial form in our country, has given opinion that War is inevitable, unless the eastern elections should exhibit a change in favor of Federal Republicanism.— Boston Jessen(str. Extract from a letter from Centres to the Editor of Centres, dated March 12, 1812, As many were seen, these disclosures made by T. Henry to the President, as a secret, were revealed by the Secretary of State, who, in his letter, stated that the Secretary of State had no right to interfere with the elections, but was warranted by his letter or any sense in them, after the usual vote of the people; but preferred to effect such an arrangement. The reply, however, was that Sir Henry, in his letter, stated that the passage of the war taxes, the recruiting service, and the war measures generally; and finally, the approaching election of a President. It appears this Henry arrived at Boston in December last in company with a pretended Count De On, who came to this City in January with a letter of recommendation of Henry from our Government, dated January 11th. A last, to the President, stated that the Cabinet or President pledged themselves to support the government. To Henry that he should not be molested or questioned; that Henry was secreted here and in Alexandria, till last week, when a conveyance of property in France was made by Count De Crillon, (and acknowledged before a Notary Public in Georgetown) to Henry, to the amount of $400,000 Franks, and that Henry is affected to have mailed in the West from New York for France—thus putting it out of the power of the Investigating Committee to make further enquiry into the business, so much and so earnestly wished for by every person. The Committee have been to get her on the subject several times, are to meet again tomorrow morning; but it is much to be feared who not investigate the business for her—perhaps for the plain reason that it leads to investigation rather than contribute to the excitement already felt. Mr. IVdger, who was the only one who was for imputing the Federalists with Henry! The letters were procured by the President at the enormous price of $50,000 Dollars, paid out by the Treasury of the U.S. The Hon. Turo Doua Lincoi.m declines being considered a candidate for the Senate: — At a meeting held at the Court House in Machias, on the 26th inst., it was unanimously voted to support the Hon. STEPHEN JONES, late Chief Justice of Washington county, in his stead—so that the Senatorial Ticket for Lincoln, Hancock & Washington counties is now computed of the following gentlemen: — EDMUND BRIDGE. WILLIAM CROSBY, STEPHEN JONES: ISTR. Shiras, On Tuesday last I sent to the Argus Office the correction of the mistatement published in that paper of the 19th inst. called "A GOODTHING" respecting the election of town officers in New-Gloucester, with a request that the Editor would give it a place in his next paper—as he has not complied, you will oblige me by inserting the correction in the Gazette. To the Editor of the Eastern Argus. “Sir—Observing a scrap in your paper on the 19th inst., entitled a good thing, respecting the conduct of a leading democrat, in sending to Lewiston for a voter to vote for Town officers in New Gloucester, I being the voter alluded to, take the liberty to correct your mistake:—I am the only voter who was at Lewiston on the day of our meeting for the choice of town officers, that I did receive notice of the meeting by the politeness of a friend, is a fact, and it is also true that I have heretofore supported those persons who arrogate to themselves the name of Republican. I have for a season been deluded by the wiles of democracy and too much controlled by the demagogues of faction, but the private conduct and public measures of those who assume to themselves the title of exclusive members, to the People have convinced me that their heads must be degraded, or their hearts corrupted. It is likewise wise that my friends did congratulate me on my safe arrival at the nice landing from the immense distance of eight miles over quagmires and ditches, yet I can assure you that in the rapidity of my journey, I passed no quagmires except the quagmires of democracy, and I can assure you that reflection has convinced me of my former errors, and induced me cheerfully.” Lidy and freely to give my vote in support of men whose minds are sound and whose motives are pure and whose characters are incorruptible—men whose characters have been wickedly traduced by the pretended friends of—but real opponents of a republican form of government; that I voted for federal republican candidates, I frankly own, and all my regret is that they have not for years past had the management of our general and state governments. JOHN PREBLE. Gloucester, March 2nd, 1813. COUNTY CAUCUS. We remember that no longer a last July, we held a County caucus in Falmouth, where delegates punctually attended from various towns in this County, for the purpose of agreeing on a suitable candidate for the Governor and Council, for sheriff of Cumberland and that we unanimously recommended our friend David Green; and because it did not meet the approbation of the Convention, we did not with Wm. King write to the Governor and Council that the caucus was attended by none but the rabble, and that Mr. E. Foxcraft must be appointed Sheriff, this is Republicanism with a witness—Gov. Gerry and Mr. King make us fine republican speeches, but take care to call us the rabble or the mob, when we attempt to have a voice in any appointments, even in our County. Follow them no longer, my friends, they are all Tyrants; and because Mr. Green was a genuine republican, let me tell Gov. Gerry not to mind us, the rabble, but to appoint Foxcroft, who has lately exercised his authority over one of his best lieutenants, in the true spirit of a Monarch—I am happy. He had independence enough to resign his commission. Is this republicanism or is it Petty tyranny? FALMOUTH. Qualifications of Sr nut ora. It was the invariable usage of the Roman Republic to annually post up in some public place a list of Senators to be examined by one of the censors— "And if anyone by his behavior had rendered himself unworthy of that high rank, his name was passed over by the censors reading the roll; and thus he was held to be excluded from the Senate. And the name of any Senator who had been condemned by a Judicial sentence, was erased from the list— Part. Anselm, Republicans, is not a man whom you are called upon by the Argus to vote for as Senator for this District, who has been found guilty by a Jury of our Country, and has Judicial Sentence passed Upon them? Are not as virtuous and enlightened a man as those who lived in the reign of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor? Do those who have put this man up for the Senate, think to impose on us, by rumming him in before we have time to inquire his character? Does Lawyer Ripley expect us to give him a seal in our Senate, a man as he is, with all these imperfections upon him, without giving us time to see a reform at once in his conduct?—Particularly as he is not even a house-holder, and having never lived six months in the County. Shall we vote for such men as Ripley, Page and Poor, and forsake our good old substantial, honorable and well-known friends Matthew Cobb, Lothrop Lewis, and Daniel Stowed? No, let us not be so grateful to Cumberland, Oxford. Proof of Proof. Pitiful as Mr. Madison’s attempt is to give a wrong direction to public opinion, and like his brother Gerry, to assume the passions and warp the judgment; still, “Henry” Plot and his letters establish two important facts, which ought to silence the tongue of democratic slander as to British influence and a British Party among us. First, Fact is that on enquiry and examination, he would not find a single man of talent to vindicate his plan. On the contrary, all appeared and voted to support the Union of the States. Second, Fact is that he found the leading Federalists, men of integrity of the people—men that he were convinced incapable of listening to his propositions. Thus so far as this same Henry is a good witness, he has bestowed an influence on the Federalists of Massachusetts, had it in view to tamper with them, but he found them incorruptible—he found he could not approach them with his impure intentions. And so he very naturally now applies. To the President for something by way of reward in telling him this story.— Thus democracy itself is now proving (what has been known before) that the Federalists are in a state of integrity, principle, patriotism, and honor. WAR SCHEME. Correspondence is anxious to go to War with Great Britain; and thereby place France in a state of integrity, principle, patriotism, and honor. The People don't perceive any sufficient reason for such a destructive calamity and all the long list of taxes, distresses, and evils that must then come upon us. The President and Congress wish to raise the war fever as high as possible. Hence, the President has sent the late message to Congress on purpose to inflame the passions of the Country, and that he may carry the War Scheme into effect. But look—The President does not believe a word of all this—he knows it is nonsense—but he gives it a solemn appearance. Why did he keep back the letters three weeks? Why did he let Henry go to sea first? Why did he send him in a national ship? A spy to be caressed and comforted? How much “Secret service money” did Mr. Madison give him for this mighty bubble? How many votes does he expect to gain by it in Massachusetts in favor of the Gerry and War Picket? LOOK TO IT. Today’s Gazette, the “mud commixture” of documents relating to Henry's plot; but we are kindly relieved from that drudgery by the diligence of democratic editors. We thank the in for their labors, and most heartily wish them success in their efforts to give them free circulation. We hope they will be read by every one. If they prove anything, they prove the purity of Federalism, and the baseness of Democracy. This desciipuons of the democratic leaders and Subalterns are drawn from the life, and are published copies of the foul origin. The Argus complains of the Federalists for employing horse and men to disseminate their papers. We confess that if we wish to get or circulate information, we are almost compelled to employ private conveyances, since the mails are now stuffed with Democratic newspapers and pamphlets, to the exclusion of Federal papers. The Post Office is prostituted to party purposes, and made use of as an electioneering engine by those who feel power and forget right. We shall not waste time in personal altercation with the Editors of the Argus of the 10th of April, by commenting on the matter with which the columns of that paper are filled. We repeat, and it can be substantiated by the testimony of those present timing the reading and conversation alluded to in the Argus, that the remarks made to the person, who appears to be no desirous of disavowing its own convictions, were such as the letters fully warrant. We are not office setters or friends but advocates of such measures as lend it promote the public good instead of from which are taken to gratify personal ambition only. Stand in the Army. We understand that several of the "exclusive friends" belonging to this town have been notified of their being appointed Officers in the New Standing Army alias President Madison's "Legislature of Honor" Shire?
