A I'HENS, “SEPTEMBER rjT~
, JpSeflfrs. M'Donnell cs? Harris,
I WHEN a man’s character is
alTailed, it becomes him in juitifi
cation to himfelf to undeceive the
public and place things in their true
light.
> i A certain cotton monger, a Mr.
ffceorge Pafchal of Lexington, has
pjublifhed an advertifement in your
, piaper of the 27 th lilt, informing the
Sublic, that I borrowed his horfe,
fiddle and bridle, and promifed to
return them ; which on application
Hrefufed to do. The gentleman,
dertainly is correct in this ftatement,
feut like other marauders, has
iken care to conceal the motives
which in ill gated me to do it. The
public will pleafe to know that this
gentleman rented a machine conti
guous to Lexington and agreed to
machine and pack cotton for the
_ fifteenth parr. As this was lower
than ufual, .1 fent the gentleman a
few thousand pounds of ieed cotton,
tiicli he promifrd to have ready by
a certain day, as 1 informed him I
J>ad engaged a waggon to take it to
/ nguila, and likewife that I had
fold it. The gentleman was unufu
ji’.lv expeditious for before the
jpay had ;arriven that I was to have
had it, he came and got bagging,
tnaeh’mcd and packed it, hired a
•waggon, fent it to Augufta, and
ftrange to relate feld it but for
whoir. ? not for. me, but himielfi—
T he day arrived ti a ! was to make
IjppUcarion for the cotton, which I
jci’d, and was aflonifhed to find he
hed taken the whole inftcad of the
fifteenth part. I made repeated ap -
plications athis and was confol
ped with this fair promi(e ; . that I
ffhould have it as loon as he could
get it; but hearing the worthy gen
tleman laughed at the fmartne.l’s of
■the trick, & frgnified I never would
pet a cent from him, and concluded as
the people at Milledgevilie had left
do civil law open, but negro lav/, 1
would exercife that on Mr. P.
■(thinking him a very fit fubject to
{make experiments on) and try to
{feeore my fell as well as poffible,
{knowing when Whitefolks* law
t roke loofe, Mr. P. from the nu
merous mortgages and judgment*;
* again# him, would be utterly unable
* to pay me even if he was willing.—-
lUnder thefe confiderations I bor
jrowed his horfe with a determina
tion to keep him, and tecuremy
jfelfj thinking an example of the
kind might teach infiduous, infa
mous, and insatiable plunderers to
meddle with no property but what
have a legal right to. As for
the gentleman s reeling for me, be
cause I bound him to the peace ;
if he had had an honed feeling he
would not have purloined rr.y cot
ton, and might dill have his horfe.
Prom his threats and other circum
!ftances the gentleman meant to
.take my life in the honorable way of
{privately way-laying and fhooting
rr.e.
IThe youth gives a very ludicrous
lefeription of his height, weight,
kc. he concludes he weighs at pre
ent e ; ghty pounds nett, but he cer
tainly has not made a mathematical
j if he had added the
ppprobium and weight, that clan
idtdinely making way with other
people’s property, (without an in
tention ol paying for it) would be,
| prefume he’d feel as the Mam
itnoth. As for his iownefs in da
tore ; I’ll point out a method of
snaking him longer, which is by
v. drong limb which his multiplied
crimes and nefarious intentions de
ferve. As for the other parts of
his publication I (hall pals over as
unworthy of. notice, they having
no relevance to r the cran faction, and
at once (hewing ijhe depravity of
heart and the capacity of the animal.
What e'er's obtain'd by roguifh knack,
• Or gotten o'er the Devil's back ,
2he wife froh', observation - tell ye,
Will fur ely fink beneath his belly.
Let Pafchal ever’ learn fir cm hence ,
‘! ‘To have a little better jenfie ,
Than to furfiue a plan that's rotten
In taking of his neighbor's cotton .
4. . *
Let him. await the awful day,
When he is call'd bis debts to pay.
And then he'llfee If anyfail
‘To lug the rafical intofail. ■ ■
GARLAND T. WATKINS.
Lexington, September 15, 1808.
Prefident Adams unequivocally
approves the Embargo , as a wife, &
falutary rheafure, rendered nccefiary
by the blockading fydem adopted
by the belligerents. He as points
edly condemns his federal friends
for oppefing it,-and thus weakening
our government and encouraging
the belligerent powers, in their ag
gre (lions on our commerce. In his
opinion the embargo is fo far from a
tneafure hoftile to commerce, ; that
it is calculated, the bed of all pof
fible meafures* which could be a
dopted, to fecure the permanent ef
tablifbmene and prolperity of com
merce. Mr. Adams 3nd Mr. Jef
fprfon agreed in the great quedions
whicn arofe during the revolution.
Afterwards they divided on certain
leading principles of government,
and were rival candidates for the
Prcfidency. The recent conduct
of Mr. Adams, in giving the
weight of his opinion in fupport of
a great national meafure, which his
rival and fucceftor had recommend
ed, and which his own party were
making a fubje<st of party oppofi
tion, is an evidence of that honedy
and fincerity, which all parties have
allowed him. How much more ho-,
riorable he in this refpeefiy.
than many leading federalids, who
are as well convinced as he is that
the embargo is the bed meafure
which could have been adopted,
and yet in a crifis of peril and pri
vations, unite in a party effort to
render it unpopular and inefficaci
ous, for the fake of diferediting the
adminiftration, under whofe aufpices
it was laid.
