trvmen, whirl* they foresaw wnu’d ari>e
front putting into execution sue.. :m uncon
stiiuti <»nul measure as they had long had in
contemplation. We h»v« seen that there
has long been a secret desire in the demo
crats to ros»r vin our liberty of speech, al
though they pretended to be greatly oppres
•ed by President Adams* measures in this
respect. This wish has burst forth this *f u
fion of Congress ‘.u a resolution which bf*t
ter deserves the odious name oi *•gag-lwvf
from its unconstitutionality, tyranny, and
jacobinism, than any which Ins b-*en au
thorised by any government in any uge or
uatujn.
The Argus in its Element.
We are not sorry to see the Argus
sinking into that chaos ot ignorance,
falsehood and nonsense, in which the
minds of its writers have always been
groveling. The zeal which they have
professed for the god ot Jacobinism,
“ whom they ignorantly wor&hifi” has
not produced any thing in the Argus,
to answer the expectations of those
who established it. Its columns are as
destitute ot information Sc intelligence,
as they are o! tiu’h and candor, It
must be that the administration or its
deputies for the District of Maine, have
withdrawn their countenance and sup
port, because they have not espoused
their cause with sufficient consistency.
Perhaps the mixture of lies and liypoc
racy has not suited them. '!'hey have
our c indolence in their present pover
ty, and our hopes that the administra
tion will not leave them to perish in ut
ter despair. They ought not to prove
ungrateful to them because their story
is told, ami the repository of their
Blinds has spent its fud force. For
“ No farnithat takes a whelp
** When first it laps and scarce can yelp ;
** Neglects, .r turns him out of gate,
“ When he's grown up to clog's estate.**
If we noticed the Argus, or anv of the
sage writers in that sage paper, more than
the idle winds, which blow* at us without
injuring us, v*e should dilate a little on the
absurdities ard infamous p**evarications con
tained in some of their late papers. The
best wny is to let them go ori and they will
destroy themselves, for “ malice always
drinks one half of its own poison.” The
truth i9 so obvious to them, that in their
last paper they have blundered into it. They
blush themselves, and say, that any person
‘who cherishes the American feelings,
jnust blush in reviewing the writings of a
foreigner in this vehicle of slander.* They
need not have told the public that their pa
per was filled with slander and lies, be
cause it is evident to every one that reads
it. But they say that a foreigner writes for
it. We have heard that the professed editor
of it was born in the British dominions.
But were we not sensible that he is inca
pable of writing a sentence of English, we
might suppose that he is the real editor. YY~e
have long been of opinion that the editors of
that paper were foreigner* in heart, hut now
we have their ow i words to prove it. They
may perhaps have made a small mistake in
asserting that they were sold to British
views, but we believe them so venal, that
they would advocate the British cause, as
well as it is evident they do the French. As
they have a larger share of vision than we
possess, they may possibly see the daz
almg brightness of the Ke:uiblic*n Star
—we cannot even discern it. If they
mean by thia the meteor of Jacobinism,
we trust that it has shone forth in all
its glory, and that it is now on ti e dc
dine.
Present appearances indicate that the son
or federalism, whose r.i)s are irtrh and
.•ue Republicanism, is now chasing awry
the clouds of error and delusion which Imv*
prevailed tor more th.«n eight yevs past,
and will de»(rov the influence oi lie do

FOR THE GAZETTE.
DE SENEGTUTE —No. V,
THE patriotic proceedings of the legis
iature of Massachusetts, at their last winter
session, so fur as they related to the embar
go, displeased the friends of Them ns Jef
ferson, and had such an effect on the mind
of John Adams, that he so far lost the |
knowledge of language, as to style a Report 1
■of a committee of the legislature, a declar- «
ation of war. This may be seen in his let
ter to Daniel Wright awl Emstiis Lyman,
an extract of which was published ami re
published by the democratic printers of
Massachusetts, as well as of some other
atates, in the month of Msrch last. In this
letter he declares himself opposed to “ Mr.
Gore’s declaration of w ar against France ”
This sentence at a future day , will proba
bly, among some, excite surprise, while it
will with others pass for phrase obscure.
This would indeed be the case with us at
this day if our tinder standings were not
enlightened h\ the democrats, who say
that it alluded to the “ Report of the com
mittee of the commonwealth, to which was
refcicd the resolutions of Mr. Crownin
fhield to approve of the doings of the gen.
cral government,” submitted to that honor
able nody on the 2d of February la.*t, by !
. t * * • I
Christopher G re, for the committee. This
4s doubtless the case ; the party at whose
instigation Mr. Adams wrote, being better
qualified to interpret such unmeaning phra
ses titan those who **uce support* d him,
but whom he now reprobates fo«* doing
those very tilings which he himself recom
*m;-*ded. The report to \\ ach Mr. Adams
I
"• * id *0 is so fir from being a dec
clurati m .t w.t, that it does not even pro
pose it any further than “to forbid all com-1
mcrcial intercourse with the French do- [
minions—arm our public and private ships,!
and unfurl the republican banner against
the imperial standard.” j
If proposing a non-intercourse be a dec
laration of w.ir with France, the Kentucky
Senator in his speech on “ Mr. Hil'house’s
resolution to repeal the embargo” has done
ttre same to that country and England also,
atm we by our non intercourse law, a»-e at
actual War with both nations. If proposing
to arm public and private ships can be call
ed a declaration of war, may not ttit* privd
edge allowed us of keeping tire arms in our
houses be termed a measure of hostilities
to human society ? Wherein then does the
iniquity of arming vessels for fear of the
worst exceed that of providing soldiers
with guns, and training them to military
duty, that they may be ready to defend their
country in the hour of danger ? Those who
are opposed to a navy exhibit, * selfishness '
in being willing that the mercantile inter
est should sink, and the sea be overwhelm
ed bv pirates ; at the very time they would
consider it an arbitrary deprivation to be
driued the liberty of defending their farms.
Those who oppose arming our public and
private ships are guilty of as great an in
consistency. The Berlin decree was (as it
now is) m force, and under it we were
!commanded not to trade with England —
Ships, having been visited by English cruis
ers were declared lawful pr;7.es. The
question thence arose, what is to be done ?
The committee having deliberated upm it,
made that famous report, which instead of
being a declaration of war with France, is
a comprehensive history of the executive
and legislative folly of the general govern
j ment. Had congress pursued the meas
ures recommended by that report, we
should have doubtless realised man) bene
ficial effects therefrom. The djor of ne
gociation set open with Britain, and a non
intercourse with France would at once
have given into our hands a large portion of
the trade which wo formerly enjoyed ; the
British orders in council would have been
removed, and France, from motives of p >li
cv have agreed to do us justice.
Bv the imperial standard we are to sup
pose is ment the Berlin decree, which was
the only ensign of hostilities presented to
our view by the French Empetor, which
the committee would repel by rearing the
republican banner against, and thus obey
the Mosaics! law of “ an eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth,” which is vhc real poli
cy nations profess to practice towards each
other, and which the committee here took
! In* liberty to recommend. A treaty with
England and ivn-intercourse with France
would have been a banner sufficiently coer
cive fw obtaining redress.
However iniquitous the democrats sup
pose #uiu report to b<-, they must acknowl
edge that Mr. Adams, in styling it a dec
laration of war, lias shown himself to he no
nomenclator of terms. The dialogue con
tained in the same letter, which he said
passed between himself and Dcodati, was
so insignificant that many of the democratic
printers did not publ.sii it till they had first
given a circulation to an extract containing
the above named assertion, after which the
whole letter was piomuigatrd to give au
thenticity to the part before pnblislied.—
Is not this a proof that the party who ex
press such aftection for John Adams, are
convinced of his debilitated state, and are
happy to use him for electioneering [im pos
es ?
In a letter of June 8, he says that he
“ has ever been of opinion that the electors
of president ought to he chose n by the peo
ple at large.” If by this sentence he means
to express a disaprohalion of the proceed
ings of the Massachusetts General Court, it
will be equally applicable to the Assem
blies of Vermont, New-Vo k, and many oth
er democratic states, which have for many
years used the method of choosing electors
by the legislature. In this svr.se the phrase
' is as favorable to the federalists as to the
democrats. II he alluded to the Great
Caucus at Washington, holden during the
first session ot the last Congress, it may lie
J termed a federal sentence. That the legis
. Inter:- of M ssachusetts hr.d a constitution
j .d right to choose the electors of president
j is cbatl\ niar.ifest from die first sccti n of
J; e '*<■ r.d m title of the constitution of the
{ II.u ed h ales
J i i. letter of Ji n • 7, he says “ in the
* d7'b ; c.;c v ha? is of II unit on’s book) an

In ? 1 -Mer of M o I"', he intimates that
! the k ng of Britain had Lien held up to him
|'m a magnifying j oint of view, and that in
certain crises lie “would treat her power
with total contempt” This principle of
contempt has been advocated by many who
imagine that a treaty with Britain would
either be detrimental to »he character of,
the last administration, or that it would be
so beneficial to England as to enable hertoj
withstand the expenses of war, and prolong!
tier existence, which would be hurtful toj
the ambitious schemes of Bonapaite. If!
the former Le the case, it is too selfish to
merit serious refutation ; if the latter, it is
unbecoming an American, and deserves to
be held in otter abhorrence.
Bonaparte, the emperor of France, has
overrun the flourishing fields of Europe,
and spilt th<5 blood ot thousands ; laid waste j
cities ; captnred, condemned, and burnt the '
ships of neutral nations, alt, as lie says, for
retaining- “ colonies and commerce,-* or as
the Chronicle and other anti federal papers
sav, “ to restore the freedom of the seas.”
His ambition is extensive with the earth— 1
his designs against Engl u»d are to be car
ried into execution by the as9i>tance of his
minions, scattered over the face of the
whole civiliz 'd world, who exclaim against
the deeds of Britain, and say it is time to
declare an eternal nun-intercourse with al
her possessions, or to draw the sword in
defence of live Corsican’s empire. Such
counsel has been and now is given the Uni
ted States, and its effects have been too
propitious to France to be beneficial to the
interest »f Independent America. Our
embarrassments grew out ot4 these causes —
Oi*r embargo was juiliSfcd on this ground :

tbs West-ltuli.t I <UmU; so gre*t as to co
erce Britain to yield uji a concession to us,
which would in the end have been yielding
her independence to France. \Vc, by over
throwing the Kngl sh government, should
ultimately oie ihruw our nw i. That pow
er, w*iich bus in the f .ce of an oc^n treaty, .
caused such a multiplicity of evil* to inun- j
flute our country, would not he dilatory in i
subjecting our land to all the arbitrary acts j
of conscription, if their m-rine strength j
were adequate to a commencement of such
an undertaking. It would therefore be well
fir the. United States to pursue the course
which nation d policy diet it s and national
lion ir allows, and thus seem e to our land
those valuable privileges which it so cm- j
mently enjoyed during that blissful period
when their Washington policy was pu rsued.
June 10, he says that “ in some of his jo
cular momenta he has compared himself to
an animal he had seen, who would bite hold
of the end of a rop * be drawn up by it
thro* a multitude of rocicets and hold on till
he was safely relauded on the floor.” This
humourous description of himself was per
haps correct as it related to many of Ins of
ficial duties. If so, lie may now be compar
ed to another mutual, which when lie lias !
become too old to bs useful to his owners, j
falls into the hands of a horse-jockey, who
elevates the head of the poor beast to an
umt-iual height, gags his mouth and fits
him to become prohtable for rhe business of
his m*w possessor. This comparison was
follow • l by a quotation from the fourth
hook of Vi -gii’s ,?hud, 440 h line, intima
ting himself to have stood n-.n. »* . hie when
in public business G -u ng this to be the
case, tie has told what be one. was ; it then !
remains for Iti.s read us to say wh.it he now
is, which might he done by quoting Virgil’s
description of an old gentleman, who, ear
nest to signali/e himself in bntiU*, begirt
himself with armour and >lue!d, and .gmust
Hie entreaties ot ins consort went iortli into
the camp, where, bending his b w with a
weak haim, the a"row, without doing the
least execution, fell at ii.tl> wy ; the sell
conceited hero was overpowered, and lo.->t
his life by hi* timerity ;—Hu.;, as few news
paper readers c omparatively, understand
Latin, the following better known lines,
said to be writicn by a Dr. Wolcott, ot
England, to a certain -gotist there, mat be
applied to the present state of John Adams.
“ Thy egotisms, the world, disgusted
heai s—
** Then lo.vJ, with vanity, no more our
ears.”
After concluding bis remarks on the nr.
gociation with France, he said that he
found himself under a necessity to say
something concerning the peace with Eng
land, which in his letters, written since, Sir
has a'tcmrted, by giving his readers an ac
coum of ihe communications between birr.,
self and cestain characters, which lett is
show him to have 'k en an aide minister —
Vet the debilities under which be now la
bours are more apparent by contrasting his
letters of that day with those ot the present.
It could not be expected that Mr. Adams’
communications should be written in a style
wholly destitute of pronouns of the first per
son ; yet the multiplicity of them are aston
ishing if not disgu-ting to most of his read
ers. His letter of June 13, containing the
articles of Count Vergennes, in the French
language, without a t an station, is not in the
least entertaining or instructive to people
unversed in the language of France, and
would have been styled pedantry if so writ
ten by a scholar, and cannot merit a much
more decent appellation tho’ signed b> so
note., a character as John Adams.
