The readers of newfpapers
■ure generally anxious to know ,
what the news is, and after tak- j
ing up a paper and reading it, \
:fnothing extraordinary appears, I
many will perhaps throw it down
amiin, and declare that fuch a
paper is not worth a taking.
It would feem as if the Ed* tors
of newfpapers was under an obli
gation to fabricate news when
none really exilled.
If fuch were conficlcrcd the
duty of an Editor, he might
at the ftate of Georgia,
and travelling Northward, cal
culate, with great accuracy, the
Votes which will be given for
prefldent at the next election.
If he was a genuine republican,
and had obferved with any con
fiderable degree of accuracy,
¥he exifting (late of political fen
.timent, he would declare to his
readers that the Hate of Georgia
tvould furnifh four votes for Jef
(prfon, the republican candidate.
South-Carolina would be declar
t ed to give eight votes on the iidc
I of democracy.
I In North-Carolina the friends
of republicanifm could not fail
at nine votes ; unlefs Britifh in
fluence had fpread itfelfover the
country, it is more than proba
ble that this refpedbible number
I would be encreafed.
Tenneflec and Kentucky,
I thole democratic Hates, border-
I !ng upon our Wellern Waters,
I Vould be declared by fuch de-
I inocratic Editor, decidedly* in
I favour of Jefferfon, and confe-
I fluently, from thefe two Hates,
I an accdfion of feven votes would
I he given to the interdls of li-
I herty.
I In the Hate of Virginia, the
I ground for rejoicing would be-
I Col Tie extreme to a republican
I Editor, when it was confidered
an abfolute certainty, that
■ twenty-one votes, in that Hate,
■ are added to the interefts of A-
I African liberty.
I In Maryland, toryifm would ;
a hue and cry, and declare
■ him to be infane who fhould
■ jjiakc his calculations in that j
■ pate on the fide of democracy;
m) n the bell information would
■‘ r duce a belief that that Hate
contribute feven votes in
■ ivc J r °f a republican Prefldent.
I The Hate of Delaware, from i
■fvlcnr fads, would be confider-
K as doubtful. The Hate of
W-nnlylvania, powerful and rel-
c h‘ble in numbers and demo- j
jß**' ’/» would be declared ready
willing to furnilh fifteen
in favor of the republican j
■pedate; and it is certain that |

This is an evil, however,
that the prefent election will
probably remove, and Pennfyl

New-Jerky, wavering be

From the New-Lon don Bee of
October 11.
Alexander Hamilton,
Vierf us,
John Adams.
We have in our poffeftion a
pamphlet of fifty four oftavo
pages, printed by George F.
Hopkins, in New-York, with
this title,
“ Letters from Alexander
Hamilton, concerning the pub
lic conduct and charaffer of
John Adams, efq. Prefldent of
the United States.”
This book contains the moft
grofs and libellous charges againft
Mr. Adams that have ever yet
beer publifhed or heard of, un
der the fpecious head of “ great
and intrinfic defeffs in his cha
racler, which unfit him for the
office of Chief Magiftrate.”—
Want of time will not permit
us to make any extraffs until
next week. Though it is print
ed* it is expected it will not be
publifhed until after the election,
when Mr. Adams being no lon
ger Prefldent, the author will
not be amenable under the ledi
tion law, of which the whole
is unqu< llionably a moft violent
and unparelleled infraction. Mr.
Hamilton’s view (though he alfo
confefles hunfelf to be the advo
cate for C. C. Pinckney, as he
was formerly of Tho’s) appears
to avenge himfelf on Mr. Adams
for a long continued diflike of
Mr. H. and for mentioning him
as belonging to a Britifh party
in this country, “ a charge,”
fays Mr. H. in a letter to Mr.
A. on the fubjeff, dated the ift
inft. which is l< a bale, wicked
calumny, deftitute even of a
plauftble pretext to excufe the
folly or mafle the depravity
which diClated it.”
The anxiety which for fevc
ral days paft has prevailed upon
the lubjeCl of Mr. Hamilton’s
pamphlet, Teems now to be allay
ed in pare by the appearance of
the pamphlet itfelf. It has ge
nerally been faid, that this coun
try is divided into two great po
litical parties, but it appears at
prefent that there are three, and
that the party which heretofore
oppofed the principles of n pub
licanilm are divided, and that
their efforts are direCled point
edly in oppofition to the political
intereftof each other.
This is evinced by the publi
cation of Mr. Hamilton’s pam
phlet, in which great exertions
are made to prove that Mr.
Adams is unworthy of public
confidence, and ought not again
to be chofen Prefldent of the
United States. The principles
and the character of this pam
phlet will be eafily difeovered
by a perufal of it—it is marked
with a feverity againft Adams,
and the moft pointed approba
tion of Pinckney.
The real fpirit and defign of
the thing appears to be the elec
tion of Pinckney to the office
of Prefldent. In the event of
fuch an arrangement, Mr. 1 Ta
rn ilton for fome time paft, lias
loft his credit and his influence
among thole who arc denomina
ted American federalifts, might
become a favorite under the ad-
of Pinckney, and
be reinllated in his political dig
nities and emoluments, from
which it feems he has been
hurled by the perfecutions of
which he complains.
The feverity of remark which
he has employed againft Adams,
tending to bring him into difre
fpeft and contempt, and to dc
ftroy the confidence of the good
people of thefe ftates in his ad-
miniftration, would have* fub
jeded a democrat to federal pro'-
fccution, condemnation, tine ami
imprifonment.
It may be true, as Hated iji
this pamphlet, that Mr. Adams
in his adminiftration has frequent
ly equivocated and changed his
opinion ; that he has Hiewn a
want of firmnefs, and an incorr-
Hancy which renders him inca
.bable of performing in a ufeful
manner the duties of a republican
ptelidentj but if this be true,
of Mr. Adams, there aie Hill
Hronger objedions lying againfb •
Mr. Pinckney from Mr. I lamiT
ton’s own Hacement.
The ground and fpirit of thar
encomium which is be How cd
upon Pinckney, are to be difeo
vered in his indubitable attach
ment to the Dritifh government
and Britilh mcafures. Ihe
Hrong objedion againH Adams,
notwithHanding it is proved that
he is a monarchal, is, that he?
fometimes yields to confidera
tions favorable to the French
Republic, and delays or thwarths
the great monarchical objeds
which have been fo dear to the
heart of a J farnilton ever flnco
he propofed a monarchical form
of government in the federal
conHitution. No man who has
any acquaintance with politics
can poHibly miHake Hamilton’s
object—if lie now calumniates
Adams and extols Pinckney, it
is becaufe the latter is more de
voted to the fpeedyeHablifhment
of a monarchy than the former;
but the republicans will cafily
difeover that neither Mr. Adams
nor Mr. Pinckney are to be
truHed, and that Mr. Hamilton's
condemnation of the one, or
fuifome encomiums upon the
other, can poHibly tftrarge the
public mind from the faithful
performance of its duty.
This pamphlet has not the
IcaH relation to the promotion
of the republican intcrcfts of
this country. It is intended to
gratify party refentment, and
promote monarchical views.
