Mr. Smith , i
' By inferring the ieclofcd, sou will oblige
yuur’s, &c.
HOWEVER incempatable it may seem
for a pertbn who profiles fcimftlf mere
ly a Citizen of the World, to intermeddle in
the police of Augusta, and pretend to give
public advice to people who ought to be sup
posed capable of walking without leading
firings; yet, as the gentleman appear* to be
atfuated by the raoft benevolent motives, and
conveys his sentiments in such terms of polite
rtjt and undour, l have no doubt, but th<t
che elected Aldermen will pay due attention
to his faiutary counsel, x ~
I cannot but admit? the deep policy which
gavo birtMP .the idea .of humiliation to riic
foyver claffes,of the people, and I would recom
mend to the Aldermen, if they have any fi
wifter purpose in view, to endeavour, by com
placence and affability, to curry favor With
the canaille , and by that means fecur* their
fandion to their future proceedings. The bint .
Joes honor to tbs Citizen of the World, and
Che prance is necessary in every instance
wberfe the mob is lord paramount—There can
be no difputc, but that the Aldermen confi
der 4tneMbl€ ttt cvery law that
can affea them for any impropriety or mcon-.
fiftency of cortduA i and lam well convinced,
that the fntaktng companion ot {uch fiber*J
aiinded gentlemen aa t jhe Citizen of. the
World appears to be, .would.be, more intole
rable to a man of ffeiin*. than the levered
penalty any law could in such w mftaiice m
fli«i -I cannot fay I am forprifed at anything
this consequential es ; but
I must confefs that it appears a problem to
. me how the priviledges ot wy.peopie can be
violated, by being allowed to think and ad
lor themfelveain the choice ot-public officeiS,
and whoever has 'he effrontery to mike such
4n affertibn. must be possessed of no jm aU de
gree of arrogance* cil
The imputation of alienfhip, or rather alien
citizenlhip, can only be levelled at a few. Ot
the elected Aldermen J and when it is confl
icted how many important ftatioHS. in the
fjuited States are filled by men who cannot
claim the honor of firft preaching the viral an
•n this Continent, I camiot. look upon ibis,
heinous charge of so much consequence. Nor
can 1 conceive by what authority this writer
has a right to judge entirety' of the motives
that have, or may induce any foreigner to
become a citizea of the United States* While
ibett men perform the duties of their several
Rations with integrity, and contribute their
proportions \o exigencies with alacrity,
they are and ought to be accounted valuable
acquifiuons to any country.
K .I must confefs, however, when Mr. Citi
4»n mentions that copfcioue diffidence ought
fp have prevented the Aldtrmfen elected, from
acceping the honor within their reach, I must
v perfefUy coincide with him A The political
experience, exalted ftatiqns, and splendid ac-_
’ eomplithmencs 0 f the greater fk art of their
competitors, ought to have 4 arr.e/led :
/ ing hands, and deterred them from gralping
at the gaudy.prize. • *•
Infatuated ,raortak ! could sou not forefee
. that the Herculean talk of making regulations
for the sarge andimportant metropolis of
Georgia, would be an uncertaking far too ar
duous for yogi fttalfow x Did not
the blood curdle jp*. %our ypins, jwben *you
looked down from the awful height, to which
your aspiring arrogance bad railed you l. AI- ,
dermen, beware the eyes of the whole world,
