Fof the AvotrsTX Qlta&NiCLc* THE papers onion teem with invective and abuse on the condud of Mr. Jefferfon, in follciting the return of Thomas Paine to this count The principles of Mr. Paine are represented as Dciftical, and even Atheillical, it is therefore concluded that the Prcfident pof feilcs funilar principles. Is this conclufi. on a just one ? Surely it is nor, no such inference whatever can be drawn frdm the condud of Mr. Jefferfon in this re gard, let the principles of Mr. Paine be what they may. The Prcfident, no doubt, refpeds him on account of his pad public services, and every true friend to his country mud, on that account, accord to him his admiration and his gratitude : in the period of our revolution he effected more by his pen towards the consummation of that great event, than thousands effected by the sword. It was Paine who by his writings, roofed and endatned the spirit of liberty among our citizens; who in filled into their minds a hatred of tyran. ny, a love of freedom j the feelings of the nation were at his command; and by his irrefidible spirit they were dired cd and governed. He not only taught them to feel, but to reason on the great * principles for which they contended ; from ’ .. m they learned to ad, not from the Jiafty impulse of the moment, or the fug jjedions of others, but from a rational convidion of their own privileges as free men, And is this man to be now cad a fidc and despised by a country to whjch he has rendered such incalculable services i And for whai ? Because he exercises the privilege which every man has by the laws ot nature, and of this country, a right to enjoy, viz. That of thinking for himfclf—he fays “my own mind is my own church," there let him worrtiip ; who but the illiberal would dare disturb him ? I would by no means be understood an advocate for the religious opinions of Mr. Paine; he has no doubt contributed to, render more public the tenets and the doubts of Shaftdbury, Hume, Boling broke and Voltaire, but he can scarcely be accuftd on thefc fubjeds of originali- | <ty, of encrcafmg the mass of heretical, < •fenfiments; that he was imprudent in pubJ lirtiing anew those sentiments to the world, cannot be denied; cloathing them in a new form, in other language, perhaps his vanity solaced itfelf with the refledion that he (hould be efteetned the author in stead of the plagiarilt. He ought to have considered that morals are the only sure foundation of a republican government; that morals cannot exilt without religion, and that the Christian religion is belt cal culated to enforce a pertbrmancc of the moral duties; thefc refledions (hould have deterred him from attempting to sap (tho' unknowingly) the foundation of that po litical fab.ic, which he had so largely contributed by his labours to ered in this country. He did, However, under what ever impulse, whether of vanity or lite rary ambition, publilh Come very excep tionable produdions, but was this unpar donable ? Human nature will err, but it is godlike to forgive. Have not his past services a claim to the gratitude of the country, ought it not at lead to afford him a permanent asylum in his old age, from the political fturms and timpells that have and will agitate Europe ? Sure lv it had, and offering that asylum is but the performance of a duty by our chief magistrate. « la the calm of retirement, remote from - public life, the eminent talents of Mr. Paine may yet again be exerted in the cause of social order and public happiness ; his fupenor mind, vivid as the fun-beam, may yet point out to us in glowing lan guage, the evils of that disunion, which, unlcfs suppressed, will palsy the arm of government, and render contemptible our national character. Z. SELECTIONS. The two firji are taken from Federal pa pers t and inserted by requejh From the Gazette of the United States . DELAWARE ELECTION. A very intelligent and well informed gentleman in Delaware, from whom we v Received a letter lad evening, informs us, that though Mr. Jefferfon has succeeded in the eledion of his candidate for Con gress, by a majority of fifteen, yet that federalifm is gaining ground in the date, and wants nothing but system to render it triumphant. The fedcrlhfts Jn Kent coun ty carried the whole ticket by a confidera. bly larger majority than at any time fmee the formation of the government. In Sussex county also, they carried the whole by a majority larger than was given for tiis governor lad year, * It appears, that, a religious fanftity contrived to keep back between two and three hundred federal votes. The newly imported Irish were invired to the election, and means were provided for conveying them from Wil mington to New-Castle. They openly boasted, that though tiie law was against their voting, they had their republican governor, who would remit fines, and pardon offences. In order to secure the fc»wer class of Irishmen and others, an a trocious libel was secretly circulated in printed handbills, by the Jefferfonian fed. At New-Castle, on the morning of |he eledffew, three men, whose names are mentioned, at the head of two drunken negroc‘S%with fiddles, and others with fifes and drum, matched with a collection of Irish and apprentice boys armed with clubs, from a ftrect near the river to the court-house. The Irish committee, with clubs in their hands, directed the attenti. on of the cabal to a wheel-barrow, loaded with potatoes an<i\herrings t and a box of oysters for the well-born. In this manner the place of election was converted into a feene of riot, to the annoyance of many infirm and peaceable men, who, rather than encounter the difficulties thus set be fore them, adually returned home with out voting. The democrats had eight infpeCtors out of nine, and decidedly in their interefl, and some of them violently so. In some inflances votes not refufed on former occa sions, but known to be federal, were re fufed upon this, and the infpeCtors would give no other reason for rejecting them than that they were so inftruCted. In o ther instances, votes known to be demo cratic, were received without hefiration or interrogation, though the persons were foreigners who had never been naturalized, nor had they refidedone year in the (late, nor paid a tax. Several residents of Phila delphia, transiently at New-Castle, were fuffered to vote. The cry is, “ Look to the end, rfot regarding the means.” I have no doubt, fays oov correfpoif-d'fit, that if a filrutiny lakes'pkce, it will be found that Bayard has one hundred tnore legal votes in the box tha* Rodney . From the New-Tor k Herald. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Haven, (Con.) to the editor , dated , Oil, 14. “ You may have noticed in the demo cratic papers some boasting refpeCting our late election. This day the General As sembly convened, and on the choice of speaker, Mr. Kirby, the democratic can didate, had 36 oat of 150 votes. At the last election they boasted of having 60 de mocrats —if they spoke the truth then, they have loft greatly.— Elizur Goodrich, Esq. whom Mr. Jefferfon removed from the collector’s office, is chosen speaker. When the votes for nomination, to coun cil shall have been counted, the result will (how no loss of fedcralifm in this state. From the Wilmington Mirror, The smallness of the majority for Mr. Caifar A. Rodney, is readily accounted for, as it is pretty certain that the report of a contagious fever prevailing in Wil mington and New-Castle, deprived the republicans of at least 50 votes. This af fords us another opportunity of remarking that although flow, yet genuine republi canism, will be Jure in its progrels, and continue to increase and be victorious in Delaware. Powerful is truth and it will prevail. On the news of this pleasing event, hope brightened in the eye, and the heart of every true republican palpitated with emotions of sincere joy. A large number of citizens afTembled and partook of a collation prepared tor the purpose. A multitude paraded the streets, firing can non* Sec, In short, universal gladness cheered the countenances and pervaded the hearts of all, except a few of the “ friends to order ” —the party of virtue and ta lents who generally sicken at the voice of the people wherever that voice is ex prelTed contrary to their views. * The last gun we are told was loaded with potatoes as a substitute tor ball, and herrings for that of wadding, and fired in honot of Henry Latimer.* Note upon Note. • This man has exprefled himfelf, in the presence of several refpeCtable citizens of this Borough, in substance as follows: “ That the people of this country would never he happy , —while the farmers,— mechanics , — and laborers were able to live in the manner they now do—while they eat roaji meat, and make vfe of tea and coffee— -that they muji be reduced to the fame fate as the peasants in Ireland , WHO LIVE ON HERRINGS and PO TA TOES—now, continues he nothing will serve those people (the farmers, &c.) but turkies and ducks, and THEY live as well at ANY OF US !—-and that ra t • ther than live under such an adminrflration as yejferfon’s he would remove to the do minions of the Empress Kate of RnjJia. The wretch who could thus degrade him felf by insulting the feelings of the indu. ftrious poor—who could with to deprels and tyrannize over the farmers, mechanics and laborers, the most valuable and ufeful members of the community, merits the most sovereign contempt of all honest men, and deserves to be hided and scouted from all reputable society, as a fit companion only for tyrants, knaves and villains. It is reported as a fact that his Jupreme excellency the Right honorable Henry La timer, Esq. has in' the plenitude of his unexampled generosity granted permidlon to the farmers , mechanics , and laborers to eat roajled turkey ox goos e, and to drink tea and coffee for and during the space of three years, to be computed trom the com mencement ol the next felfion of congress. From the Aurora . The Tories preserve the fame enmity to the Irijh at this hour, that ,{hey exhi bited on so many occasions during the re volution—the flower of the Peqnfylvania line were Iriflri —and the Brirflh felt ex actly the fame sensations tow a ids them. Nothing more plainly demonstrates the principles and form of government most congenial to the Tories , than their hatred of the Irijh . Thus a man who refilled the oppression of the Britilh in Ireland is call cd exactly by the fame names, that the Englilh called Samuel Adams, and Henry Laurence, and George Wafliington, and John Hancok, in 1776—they were all traitors , fcnpe gallows , rebels to their king and country. The tories in Delaware declare that the Chevalier Bayard loft his eledion by the number of Irilhmen allowed to be citizens —they made the fame complaint in 1777 -8— when the Irijhmen , in the Pennsyl vania and Delaware militia, preserved the tories of Delaware from cutting the throat* of the whigs. <m«K3-l} XKMKKKMWf MHKKi CKi* CUT COLLECTOR’S SALES.
