Sx. GEORGE and the

To the efforts and afccndancy
a gangrene Britifh fa&ion,
which has wormed itfelf into the
vitals of our government, may
lc attributed the unfortunate
divifions now cxifting among
our citizens, and thofe dange
rous and deftru&ful innovations
drafted to the fubvcrfion of the
firft principles of our revolution,
and which have fo defcrvedly
excited the fufpicions and fears
of every friend to our liberty
and political happincfs.

pretext of “ adding brotherly

caufe for which they expended
their befi blood, and exhaufted
their fortunes. We find them,
in the mod dtfgufting and nau
feating terms, praifing our fteady
and irnplicable enemies, and
clafiing our firft magiftratc with
a wretch, who has been the flex
ible infirument of more murders
than an hundred herods; wc
find them proferibing democracy t
on the principles of which our
government is founded, as a
“ crying herefy,” and abufing
our left patriots who advocate
their country's happincfs. Even

honors, can boaft of a greater

LIBERTY IS OUR MOTTO AND TRUTH OUR GUIDE
cxercife over many terrefihl be
ings, mud be a vile ariftocrat,
fuch fcntimentsalone could have
emanated from him. as they
breath alone the devilijh fpirir of
ariflocracy,
I here feleft a few of thofe
delicious morfels, and add to
them a commenror two, in order
to wafh them down the throats
of thofe unfortunate readers who
may be infefted with the crying
herefy of democracy
“ 3. George the third and
good—** the defender of <he
faith, and the avenger ol iacobi
nifm"
[A very good kind of a crea*
ture truly ! a poor fenfelefs ideot,
without wit enough tokeephim
felf out of the fire ! a mere tool
in the hands of a few defigning
villains, who have entailed mife
ry, diftrefs, (larvation and Have
ry on two thirds of his inhje £fs!
a “ defender of the faith” who
hath aflented to a ftateof perpe
tual watfare againfi the liberties
of one half the people of the
globe, and the conferences of a
greater part of his own fobjefts;
in Ireland, for in fiance, where
a Catholic is obliged to abjure
his religion, before admitted to
office.]
“3. Prefident John Adams—
the polifhed and trufiy Corin
thian column of our federal edi
fice.”
[What “ federal edifice,” have
Britifh fubje&s ? Hut a few years
fince, thefe fame toafters would
have hewn down or hung up this
“ polifhed Corinthian column."
But tempus muiantuf et mutantor
cum ULos!
“ 10 The army of the United
States—may the advocates for
its reduction fpeedily embark for
Egypt, to prove the efficacy of
firft conful Buonapartes late
method.”
11. A fpeedy ronverfmn to
every degenerated brother from
the crying herefy oj democracy
[The 10th toaft is a daring
infult to thofe worthy patriots
in congrefs, who fo ably, yet
unfuccelsfully advocated a re
dudlion of the army. No won
der that men with principles like
thefe Sens oj'the Dragon , fhould
founder at a redu&ion of the
army, as it is the favorite infim
ment to which the ariftocrats
have long looked up, as the only
means effe&ually to carry their
fchemes, of annihilating demo
cracy into efFetfi]
“ 16. The ftftive 23d of
April—may the hallowed fpear
of our tutelar faint defend it
from all prophanation, and keep
aloof the dragons of not, disor
ganization and intemperance.
[So I fay — but the “ hallow-
ed fpeai” was, it feems, point
lefs on the above occafion ! for
when black eyes were added to
“ brotherly love,” finely the
“ dragon of not” was not « kept
aloof;” and where fits were pro
duced by hard drinking, the
profiituted goddefs of temperance
muft have quitted the bdotted
faint in difguft!]

ExiraFl of a letter from Bourdea\ix t
dated Qst.h Ft by nary, 1800, to
a gentleman in Georgetown , by
a Jhip juft an wed at Norfolk.
“ Our envoys palled through
this place, on their route to
Paris, a few days ago, they ap
pealed fanzine on the fuccefs
of thrir miffion, and manifefted
the fame fpirit of conciliation,
that thue is little doubt, they
will meet on the part of this
go\ eramenr. Thus, an arrange
ment: is certain, and will be in
my opinion prompt. A month
probably after their arrival at
Paris all will be fixed and con
cluded on.
“ There is no doubt the Ruf
fians have definitively abandon
ed the coalition, or at leafl the
emperor of Germany, and in
that cafe a continental peace is
fure, which it is hoped, and cx
pc6Ud will bring about a general
one. The executive of this
country is very peacefully m
cincd.”
ExtraFl of a letter Jrcm the editor
of ike Aurora , to a correfpondent
in Fichmond i dated April ifh,
1800.
“ The cabinet here is in a
very difeordant condition. r J hey
hang together only like wrecked
mariners on detached planks ;
if one lets go, the whole go.
You will be lurprifed to learn
that an indi&rnent has been
found againfi me lor publiftitng
the celebrated letters of Lift m
feized on Swcezy, The fhenff
of Berks and two others are in
cluded in the indi&ment; but
more firange fhll! they were Cent
to me and pubhfhcd by the ex
prefs dire&ion of Governor
Mifflin ! after being opened by
the exprefs authority of Robert
Wharton, our good mayor.
1 am told they have withdrawn
the indiftment found againfi me
at Nonis Town, lafl tall, pre
dicated on mv afiertion concern
ing Britifh influence, as declared
by Mr, Adams. It (eenis they
found out that I had the a£tual
letter of Mr. Adams in my pof
ieffion,
Mr. Cooper late of Manchef

and well) is to he tried for fr di
tion on Saturday. He pleads
his own caulc. He applied for
a lul poena for the picfidcnt yef
terday, 'I he court refuted ;
and, as I have Been told, the
judges declared that the piCfi
dent could not be alFideAh/
any legal proceedings, unlcßby
an impeachment ; fo that wo
have one man above the law.
Chafe preTides ; and Peters is
the puilne judge. I have not
been out of town, having lived
moflly in my own houfe, and
have been feveral times on the
parade with the legion, f Mr.
Duane is a captain, we believe
in that corps.] I keep retired
only bccaufe there is no magis
trate to be found, who has a
knowledge of his duty, and hia
rights ; or virtue or courage to
atl upon the habeas corpus writ.
If there were. I (hould take care
to be arrefled immediately. In
