RUINED MART.
THE Hirill guft whittles o’er the p’ffn,
'I he herds their evening flielter feek ;
And faft defcends the patt’ring rain,
1 hat beats on Mary’s pallid cheek.
Poor Girl ! lhe wanders 'mid the ftorm,
Nor knows her path is wet and dreary*
l or rcafwn fled her lovely form,
Waen love betray’d poor Ruin’d Mary.
Her dim eye fcarce the path difcerns ;
Her tatter d vefhnents mock the blaft
Her wounded heart with madncfs burns,
And to the cliff the wanders faff.
Yet I remember well the day,
When flie was like the rambling fairv;
Among the gay eft fhe was gay,
Till luvc betray’d poor Ruin’d Mary.
A w in yon vine furrounded grove,
A lover won her virgin heart ;
’ I was in yon fragrant fweet alcove,
She iirft cnntell’d Jove’s tralt’rous ftnart,
’Twas there the voice of art beguil'd
A heart that knew not to be wary—.
SeduAion’s deads fuccefsful fmil’d,
And triumph’d over ruin’d Mary.
Now fad and mournful pafs her days,
For innocence has fled her breaft :
And wild fne hags herartlefs lays,
When darknefs lulls the fwains to reft
High on a jutting cliff lne Hands,
lake fomc delponding, wand ring fairy :
robes of white, with folded hands,
And breathes a prayer for Ruin'd Mary.
pGiltlCuu
The following article is extracted from a
late Virginia Gazette, as containing mat
ter of confulerable intereR. Mr. Pren
tiss, who now conducts the political de
partment of that paper*, has the means
of obtaining the molt correct knowledge
of political men and meafures in Virgin
ia *, and appears delirous that his fellow
citizens fhould be made acquainted with
the information he his been enabled to
obtain. Po/f U »y.
« We believe their are in Virginia a
few individuals who have long been deter
mined to fway the nation. The principles
of federalifm were oppofed to them. Tv
ery uniull meafure was taken to deftroy
thofe principles, by enlifting againft the fed
eral aJminiltration, all the office-fetkers, in
the union, who ufed all unwarrantable ar
guments, and dilhonorable and difhoneft
means, to deftrov if They fucceeded.—
One monument of federal wifdom was
knocked away after aiiother. 1 hey began
to quarrel with one another for the loaves
and nines. niu noneu among uiem oe
gan to fee,that the public good was not the
leading obje<ft of leading characters. The
leading Virginia demagogues found the
molt important provifions of the conftitiitiort
oppofed to their views , and the honeft a
mong the democrats began todifeover what
thofe views were. .Some of the northern
democrats principally, nearly two years
hnce, commenced a gradual oppofition to
thofe view3. During the lilt fsfiion of con
grefs, the violent leaders were feveral times
oppof.d by moderate conftituiional repub
licans. At the clofe of the feffiod, the
violent ents came cut in full ; and we (hali
fee the next felTion what will be their fuc
ccfs. The conduct of thefe violent men is
f«en and daily noticed by very many of the
democrats in this ftate. Some of the mem
bers of congrefs are warmly oppofed to it-.
The democrats In this Hate ate moft cor
dially difuriited *, and the belt of them uni
ted with the fedcralifls, will probably ere
long, be a majority of the ftate. It is riot
c f coiifequence whether or not the mere name
of federalifm be obferved : new deftinctions
of names arc continually arifiag every few
hours, in a government like ours.—Nor is
it of confeouence whether or net men, who
are now called federal, be ever again in of
fice, if others of equal talents are found a
inong thole who call themielves republicans
Indeed if there had not been a fingle feder
alilt in congrefs thefe two years paii, we are
not certain that the interelf s of federal re
publicanifm would have be«n benefited.—
It is true that there is now but one federa'
memberof congrefs,from this ftate ; yet it ij
not becauie the principles of federalifm art
onlv in the proportion of i to 2*. Noexcr
rioiis of confeouence were made by the fed*
t
eralifts, except in one diftridt. However
there is certainly in the ft ate a vaft proper
ticn of her belt and ableit citizens who an
and ever have been federal. And we hav<
bur Httie doubt but that a fhort time rh<
evil of democracy will be ddiroyed in the
ltate. its rage is pail in a great degree in tk<
fouthern ftates ; men begin to think, The
rage of democracy inMaflachufrtts is in truth
nothing but the Icve cj jjice \ politics is on
H a piderne \ a tool with which to work ;
and hence we laid, what we really believe,
that if federal principles continue predomi
nant in Mai. *chufetts. Virginia will foon be
with them ; and this opinion is entertained
by many here who have been demorcatic
ah”
[The following letters from Mr. Elliot iirft appear
ed in the Aurora. The Editor has n t informed us
how thei'e private and confidential letters came into
hi# pofi'eflion, nor t'04 what purpofe he has publifhed
them to the world. As they throw fome addditional
light on the characters and deftgns of certain men
who arc unfriendly to the invaluable conftituiior. of
our country, we think it proper to give them a place
in our paper.]

TV-afbington, January 23, 1804.
S.R—Your letter is received. As I am
always willing to receive good advice, y»ur
cbfervations on my ftyle of fpeaking are not
unacceptable ; but in my political conduct
I nmft be dictated by rny confcience alone.
I have no i left that my conftituents wifli

; proud, paiTionate and ariftocratic Mr. Ran
dolfli, or a fellow laborer of thofe whofe
labor* tend to difCrganize the conltituf ion,
and place tilt fmall irates at trie feet if the
lari;* one*, ami both large amilmail at the
feet of Virginia.—On this fubjeCt I b lieu,
there is great union cf l'entiments among
the Verm nt delegation, both frnators and
reprefenratives, at any rate, 1 believe I know
the fenuments and feelings of all * u Judge
Olin. ( tvilh this communicated to thife,
Who accufe me of “ draining at a gnat and
fwi* lowing a camel” If there beany b»fe
enough to accufe me of “ a direlidtio . of
principle, and a temperifing policy for the
fake cf popularity/' 1 ought in jutice to
myfelf to offer them nothing but the ho -
mage of my high (Contempt liu i ha\c '
the “ vanity” to add the remark that every ;
achon in my fife contradicts the unmanly !
infinuation. Be (ides let me enquire what;
popularity I had in view, it wa, luppofcd 1
in oppofmg 2 meafure almolt univerfaliy
popular. Blit I cannot think any refpe£a
ble man can accufe me of p diticaJ diihoti*
edy. Your correlpondence will at aii times

(No. 2.)
Wajhington, Feb. 13, 1804.
Dear Sir—Yours of ihe 3d irift. i* re
ceived. On the fubjcft of the American
• “ Chancellor of Exchequer” the peculiar
1 favorite of the prefident and heads of depart
•: ment, and oflenfible leader of the republi
cans in congrefs yoh ftiall have ample fatif
fa&ion.
It is now dlmolt the unanimous voice of
the northern republicans that Virginia and
| Mr. Randolph are attempt:ng to rule the
houfe of reprefentatives and the nation by
; violence. On the fubjedf cf the extiriguifti
ment of the ftate balances, every member
from New-Englaml, judge Olin excepted,
unite in oppohtion to the rrseaiure. On
, mod: queftions, the northern representatives,
republicans and federalifts, vote together.
—judge Oliri with us frequently, in oppo
fition to the falary bill for inltance. The
confequence of this fchifm among republi
cans is that meafurfes are frequent ly carried
againft the prime minifter by Imal! majori
ties, on all which occaiions and many oth
ers, he abufes the fpeaker and the houfe in
a moll infamous manner. In many of his
fpceches he tells the houfe that their pro
ceedings are disorderly. The other day
lie told the houfe they were under the in
fluence of Mr. Grifwold. and uted much
indecent language with rtfpeH to a coalition
between Mr. Grifwold and Mr. Lvon,
whom he reprefented as the leader ol the
party oppofed to himfelf. A petfonal re
counter ef a moft ferious nature has r^ker
place between Mr. R. and Alilo^, whici
will probably end in a duel ; th^rc mud alf(
be a duel between him and ivfr. Hampton
whom he abuiea in debate, Mr, li. ii fa
* moUs in that way, and it is kid performed
■ deeds of Jatal prowefs before he came to
congrefs. Ano iymous letters, replete with
r invaciive and threats, are delivered to fome
• ot the republican members, i have recei
ver! one in a ityle ot an aCiffin1, and it is e
: videmly in the hand writing ®f Mr. R. very
awkwardly dii ;uifed. I every day publicly
det.!are it to be his produdlion, and have
demanuec. ot him ah explanation) which it
he does not give, I (hall make a llatcment
ol the bufinels to the houfe, and perhaps
move his expullion. 1 am i n fear of_
I dear not lay what-you will hear more
foon.
Virginia is undoubtedly purely republi
can. My God! What repu b licanilm !
Nearly onehalf the people in a (late of men
i d ami f ur fifths of the remainder in civil
llavery ! One man in four or five and elec
tor. Mv blood chills—I tremble for tny
country ! 1 know yes know that deep laid
pians ex ill againfl the conilitution of the
Union.
1 care not how extenfively this informa
tion is diffufed, if it is kept out of the nawi
papers. We have fixty or feventy orders
of the day, and fcarceiy a quefticn is ta
ken without fwveral days debate. If the fef
fton I e not n ade permanent, it will not be
that bullnefs is wanting.

Sift.—I enclcfe you a fet of revolutionary
re foliations by Mr. R. the great inquifiter
and cenfor, and net only of the judicial de
partment but of the hate governments
In the opinion cf many republicans, they

1 he great principle involved in thefe re
folutions, has already been decided again(l
Mr. R, by 62 vote., to z6 But he is too
good a Republican to fubtiit to a majority.
Only one member from New-England votes
with him on that quettion.

F $. 'Fhefc refolutions involve an open
violation of the plighted faith of the nation -
by the convention between the U. Mate.*
and Georgia, by which wc became poffclTcd
of the Mifiiihppi territory. The U. Stare*
are pledged to appropriate five millions of
acres to fatisfy the ve y claims which Mr,
R. fays we mull refolve not to fatisfy,
(No. 5 )
\Vatbington% March 9, i8or.
Sir—The bill for fatisfying the Georgia
claims, has palled in committee of the wbclc
by a majority of eleven^ and the fubjeft oJt
this revolutionary refolution was reje£tcd
in the tame committee by the fame majori
ty. The reiolutions arfc fti!l before the
houfe, but I {hall this day move their poft
ponrment or total rejection. Mr. R. is,
more furious than ever, and has poured tine
full vial of his wrath upeti Col. Lyon ^iui
myfelf, he called us “ the Bear of the arctic
and Lion of the torrid zone.’* He th eatms
torefign the dictatotfhip. Several altera
tions which to my knowledge have been
projected iii the con dilution, calculated to
deltroy the remaining w eight of the fmaii
dates will now be k pt b .ckfcra feafon.
from prelent appearances I lh all not vote
foT the impeachment cf judge Chafe but
we have not all thq teftici r.y. I am a fri er d
to the independence of the judges, but a
greater ifit/id to the rights of the people.
