Mr. Rel,
By pu'v!fh’’n the fallowing Oration on
Dialling delivered in t'rt Univesfity of P*nn
iylvscia on th; *g‘h of July, 1789, you will
osliga MANY.
tADTES AVTi CSW7LEMESf,
IN an age and country in which
rsafon and religion have so long exercised
their influence, an apology may be re
quired for introducing any remarks upon
the fubjcft of Duelling. But I trull
I fnall be forgiven by this polite audience
for making it the fubjeft of my oration,
when they reflect, that the praftice pre
vails in fome parts <>f America, and chief
ly too, among those people who pretend
to the highelt degrees of fenriment and
politeness.
Dueling took its rife among the an
cient Goths, a people remarkable for
their ignorance and barbarity, and who
spread vice, oppreffton and misery over
the greatest part of the worlds It was |
appealed to, at a time when it Was flip- |
poled, heaven always took part with the J
innocent againll the guilty—but this we j
know is far from the ordinary (ronduft j
of divine Providence in this world. It |
is only at the great day of retribution j
the Arbiter of the universe will appear ;
as the impartial proteftor ofinnocence,
and avenger of injoftice.
It has been laid in defence of duelling,
that the fear of it preserves order in so- j
ciety, and particularly that it promotes
civility and good breeding in converla
fion. This opinion I believe is wholly
without found itton. On the contrary,
J believe it frequently leads to difordcr
in lociety, and to rudeness in company,
—for while bad men know .'that there
are more men in ail societies disposed to
despise or negleft injuries than fefont
them, there will always be an over p:o
----portion of disorder to the remedy of du
elling. “ If laws were made .to protest
jiunkrnd from insults, or when made, j
were duly executed, there would be ve. j
ry few wrongs of private, or apparently
trifling nature in society. The Certain- ;
ty of pun'lhmsut.though it confllled on- i
Jy of a fine inflified by law, would deter
from afts of outrage or indecency, a
thoufsnd times more than the bare pro- |
bability, or rilk of a duel.
The advocates for this Gothic pne
tic tell us, that this is a mark of
courage, and that it is ncceflary to keep
this principle alive in all military coun
tries, in order to preserve 3 military
spirit. To confute this opinion I need
only remark, that duelling was unknown
in those armies of ancient Greece and
Home, whose bravery so long aftomfhed
the world. So for is duelling from be
ing a mark of true, courage that I be
lieve it is much ofiener a mark of the
want of it. Men who have diftinguifh
cd themselves in battle seldom fight du
els. It is chiefly to wipe away the sus
picion of a want of courage .that men
appeal to private combats. Os this the
hiltory of modern armies furnilhes ma
ny remarkable exam; let.. An officer
•who has turned his.Wk improperly up
on his enemy, never fails to court a
quarrel, in order that he may retrieve
his character by a duel. There is no
true courage in this conduft. It origi
nates in a sense of fliame only, and is the
offspring cf genuine cowardice. , v
Duelling is np.t. only contrary to good
breeding, and true courage, but it is
Jikewife contrary to realon and religion.
Every duellift therefore aids the parr of a
madman, and an infidel, or a rebel a-
Vgainft the divine government. lie
tramples upon the didates of policy and
felf interest, and disobeys the obligations
ol duty, friendfhip and benevolence.—
Kay, further—he either denies by his
conduit the existence of a God, or robs
him of one of his prtncioal attributes.
By avenging his own cause he fnatchcs j
the sword ot justice from the hands of
the Deity, and thereby usurps the au
thority of the righteous judge of the
world. It is not for us to direst the de
crees or course of the Divine wrath in
the wodd to come. But it requires
more charity than it is our duty to cul
tivate, to believe such daring insults up
on the Majelly of Heaven will not meet
•with more tfon common degrees of fu
ture punishment., fc ~v
But again : Duelling is ah offence a
gainst man as well as God. Every du
ellift in a murderer. It is immaterial
whether death be the, consequence of a
duel, or not. - The heart which consent
-4th to pull the trigger of a pi Itol, or to
wield a sword against the life of a fel
low creature, is Rained with murder—
and however men may gild this crime
with the polite name “an affair of hon
or,” yet in the book cf God’s remem
brance the name of every dueTft is re
corded with the name of that monster
who firft dyed the earth with the blood
of his brother.
To exhibit the complicated folly,
wickedness, and misery which are fre
quently the conferences of duelling, I
ihall close my oration with the follow
ing hiflory of a duel :
Two young gentlemen of amiable
character; and manners, formed a moft
intimate friendfhip for each other during
the ; r ftud : es ih Trinity College in the city
of Dublin. After they had taken their
degrees, one of them accompanied the o
<her to his father’s, in the country, where
tebeezme ftrcngly attached to the filter
of his friend, a young lady ofgreat beau
ty, and many fine accqmplifhments.—fi
nality of rank and fortune invited to a
match on both (ides, aod-after a few vis
its, the dav was fixed upon for their mar
riage. The evening before this event
was to take place, the young gentleman
who was to be married invited the bro
ther of his intended bride, and a few
piore gentlemen to a neighboring tavern,
In order to take leave (as he, faid} of fiis
batch-dor’s life. At fopper a dilpute
took place between the two friends, upon
a trifi'ng fubjeft. This dilpute arofo
gradually to such a height as to intereli
their palfions. The rest of tiie company
as is too often the case, were silent lis
teners to the controversy. At length the
intended groom comradi&ed his friend
in a tone of voice, which one of the com
pany interpreted into giving; the lye.—~
The friend would have paled it by, but
the company infilled upon its being .an
affront, and with one accord said it (re
quired fatisfadlion. lie was forced to
challenge him—rwhich he did by throw
ing a glove across the tab!e. : • His intend-’
ed broth"?-m-law, returned a glove, and
feconas were Immediately choien to fix
the time, place, and weapons for a duel.
They met the next morning at 6 o’clock,
at the place appointee. -The .feconds’
examined and loaded the pistols, and af
terwards marked thediflance from which
j they were to fire. ■ Here lei us pauie a
moment, and refieft upon the anguifn of
; each of these amiable young gentlemen.’
I —'they met without r^fentment.—R'e
! fontment, did I fay ? -They met with
I hearts overflowing with love to each o
jther.-—One of them took a handkerchief
j from his pocket and wiped, a tear from
his fact, which he aferibed to the crol
foefs of the morning.
| . O, honour l inillaken feljfe of honour’
Is it thus you reward your votaries ? Is
it thus you tear from the hearts every
principle ofofrieho'ffiip, justice and bu
rn. nity, in c~der to preserve the goad
opinion of the world ?—lndulgent Hea- j
ven ! let my guide through life be cokt 1
icievee: Let the world Judge me as they ;
pleafo j but m*y I never be permitted to j
do violence to its didates, nor so lire
gentle affeftionc of stature ! ■ --
But let us re'urr. to the ir.tcrefting
feene before us.*—*-The two friends are
, fixed by their fpconds ten feet front each
’ other. The word of command, to fir fc >
!is given.. But no difeharge of piltols. is
heard. l A second time they are com
; jnanded to fire : but a folenun fllenco
1 still cofttiftues. At length, one of the
feconds.iCries out. “ Cowards beth, by
—,” ptentioping the name of the Su
j prc.nie Being. , A third time they are
commanded to fire— lie pistol of the in- -
tended groom was ajops difeharged, and
unfortunately lodged its .contents in the
Itreaft of hi? intended brother-in-law.
LJe saw him foil, and ran to embrace
him. —He prefled birr, to his bofora—he
received his last look, full of anguiflt and
a fleet ion—and felt his breast beat, for
the last time, in his arms! The agony
of the miserable fufvivor could not be
described. He attempted several times .
to put an end to his existence, and was
with difficulty prevented from doing so,
by the interposition and pious advice of
Dr. then bifliopof Cloyne. By
the.advice of his friends he was prevailed
upon to undertake a voyage to England,
in order to be out of the way of those
feenes, which kept alive the anguish of
his mind. ■
--.But the distress of this duel did r.oi
er.d here**-The lady to whom the faj
viving Friend was engaged to be married,
was fp much afiefted by . the death of
her brother , ; by means ; of her intended
hufb -nd’s hands', that file left her reason,
and died soon after in a madrhoufe 5 her
afHidled father and mother died in a year
after her, from'broken hearts. The
miserable authojr of thejr deaths was no
lefs.unhappy in this refpefl than either of
them. He lived twenty years after
wards in obfeurity, jn the city of Lon*
don : and declared to a Iriend not Jong
before he died, that he had never put
out his candle st ~Angle night after he
went to bed, ■ without fancying he saw
his bleeding friend, his diftrafied inif
trefs,. and their heart broken parents, a
round his. bed, all reproaching him of
being the author of their misery.
j,JNGHORNE’s LETTERS.
The reader.whofe memory runneth
back three weeks, may not have forgotten
its being mentioned in this paper, that
the Recorder had recently charged Mr.
Jefferfon’s nechew Peter Car with hav
ing, as fiifpedled not. without the aid or
privity of Mr. J .fferfon, attempted to
entrap ana inlnare General Washington
while Preftdent, by Porrefponding with
him under the forged Signature of “ John
Langhorne.’ , , In confirmation of this
charge Col. John Nicholas, the gentle
man whose testimony was appealed to,
has come forward in the following man
ly and explicit letter.. Until the further
disclosures are made* to the public, we
(hall refrain from comment. As.a bone
to knaw, we wquld now barely recom
mend the fobjeil to the honorable Mr.
Duane so subtle in “ sac similies,” to
the ehafte Miss Penelope Smith, who
weaves with “civil leer” the National
Intelligencer, so expert in weighing !
“ the superiority of pofttive over nega

.hat request. F°r the present, permit
me to observe, that you have laid truly,
and done me but common justice, in the
flint relation you have given of that
tranfaflion, wherein you mention my
withholding a publication of it so long,
from a rejuftance to engaging in such
perfoiftal /charges.” That mylelf and
others of my political opinions have been
treated other wife you also justly ob
serve) his not and never wil), I trull,
have any influence in inducing me to
follow an improper example, in exposing
things merely personal for- private re
venge ; however favored andiu.lified,
by the public disclosure of the party
(himfelf m the /fleering mentioned by you,
to ‘gratify foch an inclination to its full
extent* -fiut, whcn.thiftgs of a personal,
and, in so me measures, of a private na
ture are intimately connected with our
public concerns, too great forbearance
(which cannot be extended in things
merely personal, but exhibits an amU
blenefs, and even a ftoblenefs of dilpafi
tion) becomes, indeed, as yoii have very
properly fuggetled, a citrno. Under these
conflderations, l confefs, ; that when I

of an intimacy, on. theit request to be

From fome of the. communications, I

the whole llorv you k *ve given is true,
