PHILADELPHIA, July r;.
We fnuuld conceive it to be mcompati
\; with the duty we owe to the public to
once.il that a strong impression is made
n the public mind, of the ei-aucncc of the
eilo'-v fever in the northern part of the
jty.—lt is dated to have originated on
card the S". Domingo Packet (St. Do
lingo appears to have been the Pandora’s
u of the United States) and five persons
• lead, have a'ready fallen victims to a
i(order so closely resembling this malig
:nt pla uc, as to leave little doubt of
:s partial cxider.co. At present there
not appear to be any danger of con
irrion, but we conceive it to be the du
i of the board of health to fatisfy the
üblic anxiety without delay on this fub
;d. Should it prove to really exid with
anger, we (hall faithfully report to our
liovv citizens the plain fatty whatever
uy be the conduct of others —this is
leant as a call upon the board of health
a be prompt and explicit on a fubjeft in
olving the lives and happiness of the bed
art of the community.

ft is certain that a fever like that
hich prevailed here in the years 93, 97,
3 and* 99, has made us appearance near
’ ine.Streefy and immediately in the
eighbourhood of the St. Domingo Pack,
f. More than the ordinary number of
erfons are ill, and that too ot a disease
iolent in its attack, rapid in its progress,
nd fatal in its termination. There is
me reason to apprehend that it has been
Dinmunicatcd from one brother toano
ler, and that it may infimiate itfelf into
he city. Thefc fads call for prompt and
ifficient meafureson the part ot the board
(health, not such as were had in the
receding years of malady here, but ol a
aturc to exterminate the enemy .

Mr. Smith,
A manufeript copy of an Oration deli
ered in this place on Monday the sth
id. in commemoration of the Anniver
ifv of American Independence, by Dr.
Hi am iVyatt Bibb , having fallen into
hands, I have taken the liberty of
ifquing the Dodpr’s displeasure, by en
ioiing you the following extrad there.
r 3m tor publication ; which is fraught
dth such appropriate advice to the Mu
rom and Diughters ol Columbia, that
am persuaded they will delight to infill
ato the mmds of the riling generation,
precepts therein contained. Your
a % attention to which, will oblige,
A Subscriber.
u To you ye amiable Matrons, per
:itme to address a few remarks—
“ To your care is assigned the moll
period of human life—as man
u. receives more knowledge previous
tie age of seven years, than in the
■’■'ole subsequent part of life—as impreffi.
often repeated during this inrerefting
are mail likely to be permanent;
K 1 , as the moll valuable inheritance is
■'te precarious, unless its value is fully
K&wtltood and properly appreciated, it
■rtomes your province to impress upon
■ p|tiinds of your tender offspring jail
■ ,iner tts of virtue and patriotifrn.
I I Allow me to beg you to rchearfe to
■ the pathetic events of our
11 —inform them that their ance
■. in bondage, and that ma
■g 0 died in obtaining those blcff-
Kjj. W»tich tliey arc about to enjoy.—
■ Tj . Ur S rutl tude will he thus excited ; the
°‘ peed am will be written on their
nurture diti their breads; they
determination to sup
■ and become ornaments 'to their
country, honors to the age in which they .
live, ulclul toyou and to thcmfelves.
“ Ye bcautious Daughters, (hall 1 Co.
licit 3'our attention lor a (ingle moment—
•iS ihe unbounded influence of your
(ex may be traced through evety age and
in every country. If tlie ancient Ger
mans believed their famales to be en
do'A'ed with something more than human
—it Cato be corred when he declares
that the Romans governed the world, and
that they weregoverned by their women
and it your enchanting virtues are ca
pable ot civilizing the mod lavage minds,
and ol adding new (plendor to Hie human
character; how can we estimate the im
portant rank you hold in Cocicty ?
“ Upon the proper exercifc of your
unlimited power depends materially the
future greatness of America. You are the
idols ot Columbia’s sons, and your sooth
ing approbation will ever be the govern
ment of their condud.
ft Permit me, then to remind you of the
baseness and ingratitude of ihofe men who
duerc their country’s cause in the hour of
danger; or retufe to celebrate, in a rati
onal and gratelul manner, this auspicious
birth-day of our Independence—Mark
them as objects worthy detestation, and
make them strangers to your endearing
and animating smiles. Remember that
he who neither loves liberty nor his coun
try, is incapable of loving you; and
grant him that puuifhment which every
virtuous American views with more hor
ror than death itfelf—let him be banilhed
from your engaging Cocicty.”
Mr. Smith,
THOUGH I conflder the flatement
which appeared in your paper of Saturday
lad, of Dr. Hugh M. Hull’s, of as little
consequence as himfelf, yet to (how the
propriety and conftjlency of his condud
may not be improper.
That he, as he fta'es, (igned a protest
agatnft “ the fentimonts exprefled in some
of the toasts drank by the Artillery Com
pany,” is well known ; and that a protest
of a ludicrous nature afterwards appeared,
is equally true, but whether there was a
ny tiling in the latter publication so per
fectly applicable to Dr. Hull that it could
fir no other person, 1 will not pretend to
fay ; especially, as even without dating" the
paTiges he conflders personal, he appears
to have no doubts on the fubjed.
But as he informs the public that he
signed the protest “ becaule he was un
willing to join in the (lander, however in
direct, of a man he is proud to call his
friend,” it might not be amiss to inform
which of the toasts were calculated to re
flect upon an innocent person, and also to
inform us, how it happens, that with his
wonderful ajfeelation of delicacy in this
instance, he could feel authorifed 'to at
tempt in dire PI terms, to (lander such il
lustrious characters as gen. Hamilton and
gen. Pinckney, together with a refpeda- _
ble volunteer company in Savannah ; Tnxt
perhaps the Dodor deems himfelf privi
leiged in this refped, and supposes he
may (binder the firft men in our country
with impunity, while his own sweet per
son is to be considered too pure and im
maculate to be noticed even by distant
allusions. If the Dodor had a right to
protest against part of the toasts prepared
by a committee appointed for thepurpofe %
ocher persons had an equal right to protest
againit the remainder ; and if he chose a
serious mode, others might choose a ludi
crous one, and whether preemption or
folly was the most confplcuous in the one
instance, or whether the firft or the fe
contl protest was the most elegant and 'ap
propriate, rests with the community to de
cide.
Bat after such habits of intimacy the
Dodor insinuates that 1 anonymously tra
duce him, and meanly prevaricate; he
has not however even been accommodat
ing enough to tell us which part cf the
protest is so exadly luited to his genius,
or so deferiptive of him ; and if he had
I (hould like to know how he has difeo
vered that I am the author, or in what
manner I have prevaricated. He ac
knowleges the protest to be anonymous,
ami yet on his own infignificant opinicn,
undertakes to designate the author,
have refufed tolatisly his peremptory in
quiry on the fuhjed, and liiall continue
to refufe until 1 am fatisfied of hit having
a right to demand an anfnuer ? and in
consequence of my want of mean servili
ty, he concludes his conjedares areeftab
lilhed, O wife logician !—Wonderful
rcafoncr ?
Be it known to this faplent physician,
that I acknowledge no inquifltion in this
country, that has a right to require cf
me, to own or deny any tran(action • and
until I am (atisfied, that Dodor Hull has j
this right, I ftiall take the liberty of re- J
lufmg any fatisfaction to hit inquiries.— \
V/Lcn, 1 iliould like (o knew, did lie
become inverted with authority to
the rights of individuals; to cal! citizens
to account for their actions ? on ihc fame
principle on which I am called on, to
acknowledge or deny my being the au
thor of an anonymous publication : I may
be called on to do the fame refpetting
every other, and may in this case be per
petually responding to impertinence; and
however I might be dilpofed to answer a
friendly enquiry, 1 certainly will give no
fatisiVAory reply to a menacing demand.
If Doit or Hull is out ofhuhnefs, or if
be thinks he has remained too long in ob
feurity, and is now endeavouring to bring
himfelf into notice, by attempting to re
ftrldl the liberty ot the press, and to
lenge on suspicion only ; he nmft com
mence his career, with such as are more
likely to be appalled by the terror of bis
vengeance.
With the foregoing fbtement, I will
conclude my observations on this fubjedl ;
content to submit the propriety of my
conduct to an unprejudiced public.
