Gazette Of The United States And Daily Evening Advertiser

From a Newport Paper.

AVERTING our eyes from all European, Asiatic, and African governments and the offices and titles of the rulers of those innumerable tribes of people, with filial exultation and delight, we embrace our own government, and "the ministers of God for good" to ourselves--at the head of whom we behold our own Chief Magistrate, the FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY; whose voice, like the voice of an Angel, continually speaks "good" to all his children. Possessing the purest benevolence, a truly disinterested paternal and patriotic spirit; terrible in the field of war, but gentle, meek and wise, in the cabinet of peace- the President of these United States appears, in the midst of the other OFFICIALS, whether Legislative or Executive, as the sun amidst the circumvolving orbs, communicating hourly part of that excellent spirit with which he hath been endued from on high. Full of affection for our Chief Magistrate, and ardently wishing for a continuation of the present tranquillity and happiness of our confederated Union, who would not pray, "Long may he live," and may his days be prosperous? May the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, more and more add to his already received donations "of grace, wisdom, and understanding;" that he may be more and more useful to, and amiable in the eyes of, this great and mighty people.

However honorable in itself the title, President of the United States, confessedly is-yet, in the true and proper sense of the word, it is a title-a title expressive of duty, of usefulness, and relationship. Called upon by the voice of thousands and ten thousands, enjoying the equal rights of citizenship, GEORGE WASHINGTON accepted this super-eminent Office; not for his own, or his family's aggrandizement (for prior to this he was sufficiently ennobled, and his family sufficiently opulent) but for the good of others The public weal required, that such an OFFICIAL should be appointed to, and accept of, Such an office-an office, which is the centre of all others, whether civil or military, throughout these States; and in relation to which, they appear as so many rays, issuing from one common illuminator. Representatives of the people, whether in Congress, or General Assembly; Ministers or Consuls' abroad; Ministers and Secretaries' at home; Generals and leaders of the army or marine; Officers of the Customs or Excise; and whatever other Offices or Departments there are in the government of the Union, ALL are constituted parts of the great governmental system:-ALL hang together, as so many links of a chain: ALL are intended to diffuse usefulness, to reciprocate energy, and to strengthen each others hands in the performance of those duties which belong to "that state of life, into which it hath pleased God to call them."
