teg on the aspect of our public aEDur,
it considerable length. He adverted
to the several causes of the present 1

ited that- those causes of war with
that cadon had originated injhc last
je art o! the administration or Gen.
Wahinton. When was. the pro

with England was the question.; but

the meeting of the next Congress be

cause of his declining an offer of hi

After which, Mr. Pitkens mse,
and in a brief and concise manner
usted how bhamefuUf both Great

alvnyi ended without our receiving
a redress : Embargoes as precau

pJitanon net was passed, enacting
at if either of the two great belli

"Sir, In well regulated govern

rights belonging to freemen, and this
right is well secured to the Citizens

which' h've desolated Europe for a
number of years, and more especially
against that haughty and tyrannic1
nation which respects no rights bu'

REPLY.
Wajntmvtlle, 203 April, 1813.
Sir, In receiving your address
of yesterday, in which you have sig
nified your approbation of the mea
sures pursued by a majority of the
late Congress, in which I had the ho
nor to be included, I cannot forbear
expressing my high gratification. In
common times, it would be a source"
of consolation to meet the approbation
of those whose interests I had been 1
entrusted to represent ; but more
parti-uUrly to in a moment of extra
ordinary difficulty and embarrass
ment. At the commencement of the last
Congress our affairs had been bro't
to such a crisis as in the judgment of
a majority, required a resort to the
active and united encgies of the na
tion. As our rights and liberties
were at first acquired by braving pe
rils and difficulties, so they will he
best" preserved by evincing to the
world that we have yet'spirit and pa
triotism, to defend them iathe same
way.,
Blessed with a free constitution &
every advantagethat could contribute
to render us arreat and happy peo
pie, we have cmyto be united in the
defence of our altars, and firesides,
and those rights indispensable, tci our
iodcpcjidencc. " .While engagted m a
rause'Jike this we must prbsper -
i ner scenes ot peace win again return
a idoubl sJ blessing. We will have
taught surt-oundihg nations, that our
form of goVerntf snt, and the patriot
ism of our citizens are sufficient for
their protection and defenceand we
may be .permitted to repose in peace
till that happy epoch when nations
shall learn war no more.
Pcj'jriit me to tender through you
to the citizens who composed the
meeting for whom you presented the
address, my acknowledgements .aud
my best wishes for their happiness
and that of their fefcow 'citizens' of
Haywood.
I have' the honor t0 be, &

THE COMMON CAUSE.
- m
The election hav;ig taken place in
all the states of th Union,, and the i
political complexion -t every branch
fthc covemmentbinc? now distinct-
ly ascertained, we may be excused for
addressing to those- who diiTcr from
us in their political views a few words
hy way of f.iendly expostulation. )
" Come and let us reason together." i
Lft us--lay aside for a moment the 1
embittered feelings of party, and con
verse as members of the great Ameri
can family.
The nation is at war. AUldU'i- !
aioo of p-Uty arising from a d fF. ren ,e
'of opini n as to the expediency of un ;
t 1 - 1 t-l
aertaKing tne war, wni n we Deueve 1
to hive bren necessary, and which till ;
honest men of every party lacknow- j
ledie to be just, would be unavailing.
I he declaration of war cannot be un
(Lncor revoked hut by the conclusicm
of a peace. The object, therefore, of
every American now must be to pro
se'ute the war successfully, and to ter
minate it as speedily as possible by an
honorable peace.
How are these great objects most
likely to be attained?
We answer, by a due support of
the constituted authorities ; by zea
lou; exertions against the enemy ; by
united hearts, hands and voice in sup
port of the war. Irresolution and di
vision, delay and false sc : urity invite
the assaults if ths enetm ; decision,
union,' and prom.uitude n preparation
will keep him t bav. Nor is an uni
on in exertions to guard ngainst and
repel the assault of an enemv that dis
regards alike the, dictates of humiini
ty and social law, in the least incom
p itibie with a constitution 1 opp -siti
on to those who administer the govern
ment. Let the ball t bx dei l ire your
aversion to the mm, whiUt your ar
tioos count in supportof your govern
ment. We should have supposed this
so obviously the dictate of patriotism,
as to be an unquestionable rule of con
duct, but that we have juot seen, in a
leading opposition print of prominent
standing respectable character, an ad
monition to its readers to use their ef
forts fp allay any rising irritation ap
gainst the enemy. Citizens, look at,
that enemy prosecuting a. relentless
warfare on your North-Western fron;
tier by savage means, and wantonly
bombarding the peaceful villages on
your shores, without motive or with
out justification and we venture to
say thatyou will, with very rare excep
tions, turn with contempt from those
who, under such circumstances re
commend to you to purchase for your 1
self an ignoble exemption from the j
perils of war, by refusing to assist
withyour physical force in repelling
the foe who ravages your neighbours'
possessions.
Honest men, who call .yourselves
Federalists ! Look to the conduct of
your Governors, r where they have
dared to make the experiment, in re
fusing to call out .Me Militia tQguard
against the enemy's approach.. - Look
at the enviable distinction with which
it has clothed yoiu The Enemy con-
iders you as non-combatants, -on
vvhom it would be cruel to make wa
he classes you with- women and ch'ii-
. . . ' - -) . - '- -j "
dren -and his clemency1 and forbear
ance spare you.. This magnanimity
of the enemy -is jFeat ! your factious
printers tell you j and therefore you
must allay all rising irritation agaimt
him. Are you willing to be considtlred
as nort'LCmbtanta cause of your
country I We answer Tor Vcu, lnat;
you are not. Then --.step foward,com
bat for youicountiy , Stgiyethe lie tcf
your enemy. h That you have done so'
already, in many instances-, by vour
voluntary participation in expeditions !
against the enemv, we freely acknow-
ledge. We ask of you no mdre
re than
to- display a magnanimity in council
equal to that you have shewn in the
field. '
Unuosition to the measures nut-
sued by government in time of peace
is fair; it may be wise. . Opposition !
to the declaration of a war, with -jM
the talent and icftuence in vour povv-j?
er, is justifiable and legitimate ; it
mVy be honsruble and laud ble. But
therevis a wide distinction between ;
sucn opposition to tne enactment 01 j
any measure, and opposition to itsj
ex-cution .mer 11 is aiaw. war now
exists.
H,
e Who opposes Its opera-
lions oy pnysicai means, aius cue

he who 'opposes it by dis
couragmg others irom- aiclicv m it,
act injudiciously and unworthily as
a citizen It is not by enieeblinK th

nerves "of the government, by relax
ing its energies, that the war will iJe
spredily or honorably terminattd
Such a course can only prolong jfs
duration, and render its termination
more difTn uk'tmil inexpedient.

would not. We do not 40 1 course in

violent hands on the Ark of the U
nion, and who assume the cloak of
fedrralism to hide their designs -a
faction, however it m w be abhorred,
too cont' motibie in numbers to be
m
I feared, or to merit particular animad-
vcnion. 1 onject ot tne great
mass of our People, Republican as
well as Federal, is an honorable
peace. The object of the adminia
tration is the same War was decta
red beciut Peace was no longer ho
norable. Our independence was in
vaded We are now asserting it
When it isrecfgnised and properly
secured, we shall have Peace. f And
who desires Peace without Ipdepen-1
uence r w no wnu;a accept tne ooon
in humi'iating terms ? Not. Fede
ralists, we hope ; nOt Republicans,
we know ; not' the Administrat-on,
its actions have proved.
As we have all a common object,
chen, and there is only one way by
which it can be reached, let all men
unite heartily in the cause, and a glo
rious success cannot fail to crown our
joint exertions. "
SACKET's HARBOR,
Is the name given to a handsome
village situated at the east end of
Lake Ontario, about 18 miles from
the river.St; Lawrence. It was first
ta3n possession of, by purchase by
Mr. Sacket, of Jamaica. Long Island",
in 1799. In 1801, only three fami
lies had settled there Previous to
this period, a great degree of preju
dice existed against the L Ve shore,
as unhealthy, from an erroneous idea
'that the neighbmrhood of fresh water
lakes was more unhealthy than the
sea-shore : without e ver reflecting that
the Lake of Geneva is celebrated for
Us healthfulness, and that it is only
.hallow fresh waters, just enough to
cover rotting vegetables, that is j un
healthy. V? 1 O
