NF.W-YORK, May 28.
Jfisnow pretended that the
Tcgfon for enlifting an arm v, was
that of defending ourfelveS
aaainft a probable invafion by
France. On the 12th of March,
1794, a motion was made in the
houle of reprefentatives of the
United States, for adding fifteen
nfand men to the m litarv
cf?ah ifliment; ami on the firft
c» April, in the fame feflion, a
bid wis brought for adding
twenty-five thoufand men ; in
the difcuilion cf the bill, twen
ty-five tboufand, fifteen thou
find, and ten thoufand, were
fiicccflively piopofed and reject
ed. A bill palled in the fenate
for ten thoufand men, but was
rejected by the reprefentatives.
Thefe weic the attempts at that
litre, to create a fianding army,
and thefe atte: phs were unre

but tb?(e exertions were ineifec

with France, and a hue and cry
was railed about invafion. The
attachment to the government,

LIBERTY IS OUR MOTTO RSD TRUTH OVR GUIDE,
ed to acknowledge defeat, and
abandon the deep laid projetTs
which had been conceived and
brought forth by lo many fa
pient heads, is too bad, too mor
ti Tying for anti-republican pride!
Yes, ye wife projectors of mo*
narchial and ruinous fchemes!
you have run your plans too
hard : you have Rrctchtd the
cord too tight; it has fnapped,
and it will puzzle your beff poli
tical rope-makers to fpi ice it
again. Lamentation and re
fentment are difplayed in all the
tory papers, they pour foith
floods of ca'umny upon the cha
racter of that worthy citizen
I homas [eflerfon ; but to thefe
political detiadlers, we may fay
m the pithy language cf an En
glifh writer, etafe viper, you hit*

From the AURORA .
The th r ee citizens who were con
demned under an extraordinary
py etch oj it gal con flru flic :i of the
doßrines of treafon, Me firs. Fries
Haney, and Getntun , were yefterday
reprieved T the prejtdent , and im
mediately liberated. This mea/ure
calledJor by the public voice , and by
the. wore fokmn dictates of jujlice
and humanity, entitles Mr. Adams
to prai/e—nor will we attempt to
fippofe that it was dißated by any
other than the mcjl laudable and
praijt worthy motives,
Mr. Adams many years before
he could ever have expeßed to be
placed in a fiation jo exalted , wrote
exprefsh againfl fanguinary pnmfh
ments. in the prefent inflance he has
a tied flrißly conformable with the
convißions of his early years.
Air. Adams too was a lawyer ,
and it could not efcape his ohjerva
iwn that the conflrußion of treafon
put upon the oßs for which thofe
fldl too grieviovfly injured men were
found guilty of ireajon was as ex*
cejpve and as high lined, as in any
cafe under the mofl arbitrary or de
lefable of Brit:fh judges ITe un
der fiand that Mr. Adams has paid
very great attention to the legal cha
raßer of thofe proceedings , and, as
it appears has condemned thejuage
ments.
We have forborne through ten
dernefs to thofe injured men hitherto
from animadverfion of every kind
on the proceedings in their cafe.
We cannot now refrain from ex
preffin# our abhorrence of the whc.e
proceeding in the cafe of thefe un
fortunate men ; a cafenhich taking
it at its root flowed from the extra
vagant menfures which gave occa-
Jion to lay an unpopular tax , from
the ivantonnefs with which the in
judicwvjl' r ho fen agents for levying
it, condußed themfelves.
This cafe , however* wc irufl will
operate with fain!ary effeß on thofe
who are entrufled with every branch
of the government.
It will we trvfi , point out to the
executive cf the prefent and a future
day. the delicacy with which the
people Jhould be treated , and how
careful the choice Jhould he of men
whofe rafhnrfs , malice or whofe pri
vate ammotify might lead to involve
(heir political rivals :n jeopardy.
The late Jacob F.yerely died un *
der the imprcjfcn that his mijlaken
ideas of revenge had committed thefe
men to a puchc execution: and it is
fuppofed to have haflened his death ;
an awful leffon to rafh men
To the judges of the fed ral courts
this cafe ought to teach moderation
and a love oj pure benev dent jujlice.
7 he acrimony of judgChafe in his
charge on the fentence of thefe men ,
dees no A nor to our judiciary, nor
to the humanity which ought to lim
pet the feverefl aßs of legal jujlice.
future judges may learn from this
eafe t however , that ladling as they
may be to /train the laws to party
pajfwns, that a change in public fcn~
timent or a cool revijion of their de
ctjions may fubjeß them to di!grace.
Mar/hals and jurors, fhould learn
that jv/hce may prevail , after they
have turned their lacks upon the
