FEDERAL INTOLERANCE.
Trim the MERCURY.
Mr BABCOCK.
To convince the good people of this |
iS'tr.tc of the intolerant spirit of the fe- 1
ceral party, in the reign cf terror, I
;ou will please to publish the fol
follow ing paragraph ; It is now in my
poiTeftlon, in the hand writingcf a men
ileman who was a federal member of
the Legiuature of Vermont, in Ofto
her ’9B. 1 h’e truth of the paragraph
has iince been verbally confirmed by
several refpcftable members of the
fame Legislature.
*At Yergennes in Oft. 1798, the
* Hon. John Allyn, and Judibn Can -
4 field, attended at the feliioji |
4 cf the LegiOature of Vermont.
4 Mr. Allyn, informed a number ot
* the members, that it had been deter
* mined by the federal party to turn
* the Democrats out of office, and ad-
viiea members to make thorougn
‘ work.—That the fame system would
‘ be purified by the other Ycates, and
‘ tliut it was the only found policy that
could be adopted. Previous to this
4 time party spirit was not high in Ver
-4 mont, and Democrats and Eederalifls
4 promifeuoufiy enjoyed the find offices
4 of the St ate.’

that his honor tarried at Vergennes ffi
veral days ; that his exertions to per

] hat although many of the moderate
Federalifrs thought the projedt unjufl:
and intolerant ; yet being aflured by
his honor that the salvation of the conn
try depended on its success : that the
federal adiuiniflratioi) had adopted the
plan, and to give energy to the mea
lures of the general government the
state governments mud concur; they
were Finally pci f jaded to acl in favor
:of the measure. h lie confequ nce is
I well known in Vermont. Every Re-j
I publican in oirlee, from Judge of Court!
| down to his worship the parish fuldicej
! was removed, and the offices all filled i
| by federrhfls.
The Editor of the Farmer 4 s Museum,
1 published a burlesque account of the
death produced by tills political mania,
and of the diseases by which thole deaths
were effected : exhibiting the extrava
gant joy, and indecent exultation of
the federal party, cn the success of thi
intolerant measure. Tins account was
repn I)l*fhed in many of the federal pa
pers, and read with indecent triumph
oy the felt flyied friends’ of order in
New- £ n land. To have re ndcre and th e
picture perfecT, tlie writer fiiouid have
reprefeuted the Connecticut Goliah, as
the pclicical King of Terrors, brandifil
ing the (‘word of extermination, and
carrying disease and death a mono* the
quiet and happy people of Vermont.
Having lie ted the conduct of this
honorable peribnage and its effects, and
the authcrity on which the truth of the
j fiatement refits, let us now ask our fel
low-citizens if they can difeover the
lead: jfhadow of relemblance between
die political views of this great man, and
his party in gB, and thole by which
they are now afluated ?
In ‘93 it was neceliary to strengthen
the arm of the Executive. Standino
armies was necdiary to quell infurrecli
ons; Sedition laws to suppress the free
dom of inquiry, and a manly difeuflion
of the mea(fires of tiie government; &
to render Executive influence unbound
ed, the political opinions of every officer,
under the State S: general government,
nruft be in per fed harmony with thole
of the JYefidenu
In 1802, how flriking the contracl!
i lave we not heard a great nfan bel
I (owing cut Ids anathemas egainft the
I Eoft-mafter General,for dilplacing Mr.
| Wckottfrom the Foft-ofEce Litchfield :
| ihe lame Mr. Wolcott, who was the
j inveterate personal enemy of Mr. Gran
j ger ; and if poilibie a greater enemy to
1 the present ad mini il rani on of our go
vernmenr. The Preiidenc and admi
-1 nix 1 ration unaided by a {landing army
ar.d 1 edit ion law, and voluntarily de
priving thcmleives of the immense exe
cutive patronage enjoyed by the pre-!
j evening auinieiitranon, are denounced j
jas eppreffive and intolerant ; Why :i
viiey have appointed 45 Republican!
Pou-Mallers to 1050 Federal ; and have*
thought it heft to bellow less than one
fourth ot all the other otrices in the (J.
Stater, on Republicans.
The fame man and the fame party
v* no m oS maintained that all others
underthe general and Rate governments
would be filled with wen who agreed in
poptical opinions with thePrefident and
ariminiftration, now contend that all
offices iliali be held by the enemies of
Mr. Jefterfon and the present auminb
I liivition.
Hus not the ftonc in the forehead de

Extraft of a letter to the Fdftor, dated st. j
Vincennes, 10th Sept. 1802, evening.
? f Fhe council with the Indians was opened
this morning. The chiefs and many of the
warriors of the Miami, Sauk, We a, Plan, j
K ifhan, Patawatainic, Kicknpoo,
and El-River nations, have come in, accom
panied by about five hundred votin'*- men
women and children. They arc,” I believe]!
wdi disposed, and highly gratified with the I
attention paid them fmee their arrival. The!
views of government towards them are tru
ly magnanimous* it is ardently wilhed to a
melio-ate their lavage, barbarous (tare, and
place them in the calc and enjoyment cf civi-l
liztd life,
44 Ihe Indians nave been grossly imposed
upon with regard to the United Spates” In
a di unken frantic fit, they view us as old wo-|
men ; in their cooler refieft.ve moments, aft
plotting their defiruftion. Those fettled on !
tiie W auain ano \v iiite rivers, have since the *
eitasiiihiiient of a government here, been |
principally under the influence of the intend- J
*m: of Indian affairs ; but thole on the Miflilip-1
pi, Ouimsconsin and Illinois rivers, and tlic!
i-.-vCa, iu tc ceen ano are kill under the con
iiojloi Brit;ln agents. Ttiat treacherous
hypocritical nation has now rs engines spread
ing delusion throughout theWcftern country.
I he moft aftive measures have been taken to
• rutlratc the afiembling or the Indians j per
luaflons and present shave been difleminated
with the molt vigilant induflry, and fome have
been taught tn believe they were only invited
here to be inhumanly butchered. The noted
M'Kec, ihavtd, painted, fee. fee. has recently
hi a a war dance witn tr.e Indians that live in
our territory, a thing unprecedented in time of
-eace. The Indians towards the Miffifipni
iod the lakes, vific him annually, are load
’ft bac{i with presents, etc. and call him
me bc-ficf men; and I will venture to predift,
jfiatif the prayers cf old England prevail,
p e Knife and t:ie tomahawk will ere long e
nnce to us the energies of f Tec ret fervid

“However, I am in hopes a f *.
will be effected—ltveral cnxu 1A -’ * *
