his brother, then governor of this flare, he was permitted to return to the United States, by obtain ing a fpecial of aftembly in his favour. While in London, Mr. Adam's eldeft fon, on whom about half a fcore of lucrative appointments havcbcenlavifbed, married the daughter of M». |ohn(on, who, thereby becom ing one of the family compaft, muft be provided for ! National dignity, national good order, and regular government demanded a provifion to be tnade for Mr. [ohnlon. Upon* the circumftances of apparent necejfity , the eftablifh xnent of a general (lamp office appears to have been created purpo r ely for Mr. Johnfon. The motion was firft made in Congrels by Mr. Harper , then thewou/A piece of Mr. Adams. It was an office unknown before —and apparently unneceffary for any other than the purpofe of giving an appointment to the difpnfal of Mr. Ad ms. Whoever contemplates the magnitude of this office; the oppoitunity which it holds out, without detediion, of its occu pier making a large fortu ie in a fhort time, may enjoy whatever in'urance of ferurity ihat can be d rived from the reflection, that it is conduced by the father in law of Mr Ad im’i eldeft fon ! Since the cxiflencc of the ftamp aft, the citizens have foil no inconvenience from the want of a geneial ftamp office; the fupervirors have always fupplied the full d tnand of the public.

LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, •July 15, 1 geo. •" A correspondent obferves that f r °m an early period of our re volution, the name of Pickering has been ocraiiona ly thruft foi ward by fomc fmgulanty, which commands no more than a temporary notice, by Come aft that was no way commanding cf admiration, but which by iomc new circumftances obtain ed a kind of body, that is more remarkable than agreeable He n ifties therefore to know if it be the fame man who on lo many occafions has been thus in the way of notice. It appears that on the 18th of A pul, 1775. a regiment, and the only organized regiment which was at the me morable battle of Texington, was commanded by a colcad Pickering, In the courfe of that day, the men cf that regiment were impatient for battle, and he was direfted to m ke a movement by which he could have cut off the retreat of earl Picrcy. Colonel Pickering evaded the movement, and fuf fered the flying Britilh to return to Bofton. By this a6t an op portunity was loft which might have given a fignal and more fpeedy iffuc to the war. Pray is this the fame Mr, Pickering whom Mr. Liflon fa miliarly betitledwith the double defignation of colonel Pickering fccretary ot ftate. In an infurreftion of fomc Conncfticui fettlcrs on the rear of this commonwealth, a few y ar* ago, the inlurg-nts were commanded by a perion of the name of Oliver Wolcott, and this officer took prifoner a colo nel Pickc ing, then command ing a legally embodied force, and he tied colonel Pickering unto the ftump of a tree; from whence comes he New-England phrafe of Mr. of ftump the democrats We fay he Oliver tied him Timothy to a flump, and left him there all night. Are thefe two gentlemen the late counfcllors of our firft ma gillrate ? In the early period of the French revolution, when Du mourier had not (allied the glo ties of Genlappc, and when Jourdan humbicd the Briulh and Auftrians near L harleroy, a man of the name of Pickering, who was fome tune poft-nufter, and thereby had earlier than or dinary information, was accul tomed to run about our (fleets, and from llore to (lore, bellow ing forth exultations on the gioiious lucceflcs of thejacobin armies Pray is this the fame Mr. Pickering who behaved lb well at Lexington, and who war flumped by Oliver Wolcott, and whom the prefident flump ed again recently. Mr. Timothy Pickering who was iome time (Vcretary of ftate, famous for talking about oaths and public virtue and about national charafter, and the law of nations, and for praifing the Britifh, and tor concealing the number of our imprefted fellow citizens, and for countenancing a (peculation to St. Domu-go, and for numerous other things. Pray is ibis the fame colonel Pi kenng whom the B itifh mi nifter delighted to honor, and with whom Uhifholm the Bii tilh agent with the Indians cor relponded under the name of “ Timothy Pickering, Efq fc cretary of war in America." • Fromthe Republican Watch-Tower, On reviewing the changes which have within the laft fix months taken place in the afpeft of public uffaiis, it appears won derful that the enemies of our countiy had not in fome degree foreleen that the day was ap proaching in which they could no longer infult us with impuni ty, Providence feems to have entirely given them up to their own wicked hearts and forward di (no ft‘.ions, and to have blind cd them to the confequenccs un til it was too late to evade them. The* puniQiment has theiefoic fallen with ten-fold vengeance, becaufe it was as unexpected as it was fevere. Virulence and abaft, falfe hood and rnifreprefentation, de ception and perfidy, all united in the laft breath of toryifrn, will ftand as a monument of difgracc over its afhes. One at tempt ha* been m »de by one of the foul fpirits of the call, to raife thole drooping (pi 1 its and fet thrrn into aClion In this attempt the author has had the face to allert, that there could be no doubt of the re-cletlion of Mr. Adams or Pinckney. Republicans be not afraid, you may ealily perceive that this is the Lft gafp of expiring arifto cracy—that it is as impotent as it is inTulting—that he who joins this party now, from inter ell, is a fool ; and that he who unites with them from principle, has a heait as debated as his principles arc bale. The time fervers are weil aware of this, and arc now preparing away to flip out of their clutches and enter into a more fate and lucra tive employment. We will permit them to aflifi u>, but ne ver to (hare in offices which they have already too long difgraced And although we pity the weak nels of men who put confidence in their balencfs, we cannot but tnjoy the juft punifhment thole have received, who have encuu raged treachery,- and lavished the honors of this fUte upon the meaneft and moll contemptible of mankind.
