rnmy ; and those friends, who
well knew the intelligence of his
mind the force, of his industry,
and the ardor of Ins patriotism,
which u merited and fortunate
confidfctjee, devolved upon him
the principal execution of this ar
duous trust. General Washing

government, who thanked (but
did not, perhaps, sufficiently re.
ward) him ; have borne testimo
ny of his meritorious and exem
plary services, in every vicissi
tude of ■ be war.
On the declaration of peace
Mr. Petit chose Philadelphia for
hia residence, and became one of
the most intelligent, active, and
influential merchants of the city.
Be still however, participated in
public business. Ue was an ac
tive agent to procure a fair provi
sion for die public creditors;
h’lßselt, u is true having become
in very hazardous times, to al
most the wlf,>le extent 01 his tor.
tune, a public Creditor. Asa
number of the legislature ot
Pennsylvania, he was tne author
of the lnnding system of the
state : rot wkh a view to embar
rass the then existing federal go
vernment, but with a view to al
ienate the distresses of his con
stituents, till the federal govern
ment had acquired the power to
do them.justice. He was aLo, a
delegate in cc tigress, under the
confederation ; and then, for the
benefu of the union, as well as of
the siate he acquired the general
confidence employing that
confidence ni-che advancement of
the public good regardless of per
sonal advantage.— On tile gteat
question relative to the present
constitution ui tne United bt lies
he stated his objectiatc; with tirm
iifcss, but h recommend and its a
ciopiion with candor ; arui it is
known, that he became the prin
c pai instrument of subduing the
Penii', lvauia opposition, by his
cunuluoory conduct, and foiciuie
reasoning, as a conferee, at the
gemiai conference which was
iield in Harr hbn; git, previously
to die Ultimate vote of ratifica
tion.
I'or some years, Mr Pe it has
mingled little in the coi.tiovcr
sies, and felt little of toe cares
-of public life. Asa man of busi
ness, however, he has disj.laved
gueat taleu.s, assiduity and fidef
uy,tn presiding, for many jears
over the first incorporated insu
rance Company of Philadelphia.
As ame mber of society , lie auj

Dr. William Bibb, is a candidate
J at the approaching election Joe
| members ij Congress, Juill thank
1 V 9n io satj in your next paper,
that he positively is a candidate.
A REPUBLICAN.
The follow ing toasts was given
by Air. I. Smith, at Chatieston,
Massachusetts :
“ Thomas Jeff rson, President
of the United Slates—who levels
his breastwork, spikes his cannon,
hares his bosom to the shafts of
his enemies, and gav 3 the deep
cst wound bv a ilignifi- and silence.”
Ofien have we hsard tlie ene
mies of Mr. Jefflrsau say, and
we observe such language in
every federal print, that if he is
innocent of the charges alledged
1 against him, why does he not
come forward and vindicate him
self ? Is he, because his fair char
acter is assailed; because the
poisonous arrows of slander are
levelled at his bosom, by every
hireling, every dealer in calumny,
io give an account of his past life.
No ; it would be unbecoming
the chief Magistrate of a free
people; a people who hold him
high in their estimation ; people
zealous in good works.
I he above toast is a complete
answer to the cpiestions ot tuese
wise acres. Washington never
descended front his station, as
commander in chief, to contend
“i'll Ids enemies ; but when be
