From the Freeman's Journal,
STRICTURES
Upon the letter imputed to Mr. Jefferfon,
addrelfcd to Mr, Mazzei
9 o the people of the United States of America .
Trends & Countrymen,
It,is the peculiar happiness of our country,
that our public agents arc to be the men of
our choice. The momentous power of e-
Icdting our officers of government, is attend
ed with a duty proportionally serious and
important. Those who perfuadc you to
examine and conjider before you decide , must
certainly be friends to reason and to you.
A great occasion is approaching, when you
will be called on to declare in favor of fomc
of the candidates for the presidential chair.
It is not intended to go into a difcuflkm of
the separate merits of the several persons,
who are before you, A fitvgle relative cir
' out of which great heat and
prejudice were formerly attempted to he
m fed, is proposed, on the prfent occafson,
td be offered to your confederation. Your
candid attention is all that is requested, and
1 it is your own consent. '
A letter is again circulated, through the
United Stares, which has been represented
as one written by Mr. Jefferfon to Mr.
Mazzei, a native of Tuscany, who lived
as a faithful citizen, many years in Virgi
nia. He was a country neighbor of Mr.
Jefferfon.* Mr. Mazzei is a real whig,
upon the great scale of human happiness.
He loved America as a land of freedom : as
the country, which had produced a Wash
ington, a Franklin, a Greene, a Ritten
houi’e, and other worthies on your roll of
fame. He was a man of polite literature,
and ex ten five science. It would seem, that
Mr. Jefferfon had received from him, on
bis arrival in Italy, at least one letter of
}' and that Mr. JtJafoa had
written to him in return, as he was requir
ed by the common principles of politeness.
Silence, on the receipt of a letter from an
old neighbor and acquaintance, is little Icfs
indecent than personal silence, when a qnc
flion or observation is addressed to us in
company. Mr. Jefferfon however, wrote
to Mr. Mazzei in reply, it would seem,
for it docs not appear certain. The letter
which he is said to have written, appears
to have a turn to politics, with which Mr.
Mazzei was well acquainted, having spent
years of the revolutionary war in Ameri.
ca, and being well known, as its ardent
friend , to many public characters in this
country. The letter, imputed to Mr. Jef
ferfon, has undergone one cunning altera
tion by his enemies, differing nothing from
a wicked and intentional forgery. He is
falfely and craftily made to fay", in effeft,
that an English monarchical aristocratic par
ty has so far injured our system of national
government, as to have rendered it the fame
as the Britilh (<e form” of government, or
the Britilh confutation. Now these for
gers have once pubiilhed the letter, as they
firft got it, in the French language trans.
lated in Europe from Mr. Jefferfon’s En
glish, if he wrote it at all. In that French
tranllation the words are, the forms (or ce
remonies) of the English government { les
formes, in the plural).---The British king’s
birth day in England had been followed by
the President’s birth day here. The Brit
ish king's levee had been imitated by the
President’s levee. The queen's evening
drawing room had been imitated by the
fame ceremonious meeting, in the drawing
room of the President's and Vlce-Prefident’s
ladies, from 1789 to 1793. The Houle
of Representatives had been called “ the
lower house, " like the English house of
commons. The fenare had been called
“ the upper house,” like the English house
of commons. The minifeers of Bate, in
England, had held levees at their houses ;
and levees were set up, in 1789, by our
secretaries in New. York/ under cover of
their ladies’ drawing rooms. When the
government of the United States removed
to Philadelphia, the independent spirit of
the Jpcopic of fatiinn there, refufed a com
pliance with the whole of these forms, ex
cept as regarded the president's family ; and
thus fully confirmed the just sentiments of
Mr. Jefferfon.
But it was not in levees alone, that the
forms (les formes) of the British government
were displayed here. The prelident was
- . cut off, like an English king, from the ex
i change of the accuitomed hofpitaliiies and
I social intercourse of our country. He was
i drawn to meet the legislature, with the four
{Vol. XVIII. No. 940,1
t principal officers of the government, in five
coaches or chariots. He was led to make
a speech like a fpecch of the Bricifh king
from the throne. At his levees all were
caused tofand! None were cxpeiled to Jit t
The mansion house of the president, in the
plan of the federal city, was called <f The
Prefdents Palace," until altered on the
teprefentation of Mr. Jefferfon ! A eahinet
council controltl, unknown to our confli.
tution, was eretted here, in praftice ; and,
after the manner of the Englilh cabiner.
Often influenced the president to meafines
and modifications efmcafurcs, which, after
free conferences with all the executive offi
cers, he would not probably have Jpurfued,
Promises of the highrji offices in the govern
ment were made , by the prevailing men in
. this cabinet , 'without the knowledge of the
president f and engagements were also made
for him| years before he could aft upon them
after the fafnion of the Britifn adminjftra
non. The vice.prefident was excluded from
all (hare in the executive councils, as care
fully as if he had been the Englilh Prince
of Wales.
Thcfe and an hundred other fafts might
be mentioned in which an Englilh monarc
hal ariltecratic party Have given the forms
of the Britilh government. But, was Mr,
Jefferfon right in faying, there was an En
gliflt monarchical party in this country ?
The proofs are (irong and numerous. Would
to God he had been iniftaken-—A formal
and regular report was made, in the year •
1791, by the lords of the Britlfh privy
council,’ ro the king of Grcat-Britain, on
the American politics, government, and
trade ; in which those lords expressly de
clared “ that a party in favor of Great -
Britain was formed in America." This
paper |was received, through certain chan
nels, from London, and laid before Gene
*..il VVaCiiogion, by a per fan, who was
shortly after appointed to a refpeftable and
confidential office by General Walhington,
and continued therein 'tillj he ceased to
be president. But strange as it may appear,
that every person was removed from office
by Mr. Adams, in some meafurc, as there
is reason to believe, through the secret ma
nagement of Mr. Pickering.
The correspondence of Mr. Pickering
with captain Cbilholm, the agent or instru
ment of Mr. Lifto.n, and his and Mr. A
danjs’s not directing a prosecution againlt
Mr. Blount, after the power of the Senate
to try him was negatived, are serious cir
cumstances. The people Ihould know too,
that this fame captain Chilholm was, after
wards one of the few liccnfed traders under
the government of Mr. Adams to hold in
tercourse with those very tribes of Indians,
who were ro have assisted in Blount’s pro
jeft, unlawfully to aid and abet Greaf-
Britain. The authorities for believing an
Englilh party to exist in America are abun
dant. This printed report of the Britilh
privy council is alone fuificient. The Brit
ilh recorded it forever in that secret report
of council, Mr. Jefferfon, as well as Mr.
Adams, Mr. Hamilton, Gen. Knox, snd
many others in the executive, in the judi
ciary, and in congress, Jaw the evidence
of this matter at large. It was in the year
1791. These opinions about a Britilh par
ry and influence here w r erc not confined to <
Mr, Jefferfon. They were entertained by
Mr. Adams himfelf, and inculcated with
more variety and adivity. He was wont to
suggest this influence, particularly in regard
to the monied intcreft and operations in this
country. Hence it was, as it is generally
supposed, that he negatived, by his ending
voice, the bill in the Senate lor punilhing
persons, who might be guilty of the dan.
gerous crime of counterfeiting the notes of
the National Bank-—the bank of the Unit
ed States. But Mr. Adams is known to
have even entertained the opinion, that
much Britifn influence had been uled upon
our government j in a refpeftablc appoint
ment to that court. He certainly has gone
as far or farther than Mr, Jefferfon in this
refpeft. Nor is he, nor can he blamed for
it. No doubt he had good rcafons for dec
larations so frequent and serious. It would
have been wrong to suppress or conceal his
knowledge. Bur let not Mr. Jefferfon be
blamed for faying, in a letter to an old ac
quaintance, that we have an Englilh party
here, when Mr. Adams fays, they have
influenced the important business of diplo
matic appointment ; and when it is, known,
that the lords of the Britifn privy council
a ding upon the information of their ag.nt*
here, formally report to their king, thai*
