Finding that the legislature were deter
mined to ast as the representatives of a
free people ever ought to do, that is NOT
to pass an ast violating and infringing upon
the laws and conjlitution of the Jlate and the
unalienable rights of its citizens, the <wur
.thy Crito has come forward to found the
trumpet'of alarm anddifmay to the igno
rance, the paflions, and the prejudices
of mankind, and in cafe his juj! and rea
sonable desires are not complied with, he
intimates and threatens to pour forth all
the dreadful vengeance of his mofl terrible
■wrath! !—which must be terrible indeed !
A party leader pays dearly for his ho
nors,; he must often speak one way and
look another—he must sometimes be silent
when he wilhes t# speak, and sometimes
speak when he wishes to be silent. He has
a world of trouble to keep things right ;
while he is giving a lelfon to one pupil,
another runs restive ; while he is laboring
to keep A. in the right road, B. runs astray
—the life of a driver of hungry pigs or
flupid turkics is more easy. He is obliged
to have his scouts and his rangers to recon
noitre ; if tliey get knocked on the head,
he must retreat j if they make an imprefli
on he must be ready to fnpport them ; if
they hazard too milch, or mismanage, it
is understood that he is at liberty to aban
don them and join the enemy, because it
is of consequence that he (hould not com
mit himfelf. His influence would be im
paired, if he were rashly to engage and be
defeated ; that business is therefore aflign
ed to the forlorn hope—they are suppos
ed to have nothing to lose, and the honor
of being the instruments is a fufficient com
pensation ; a little well applied flattery
from the leader amply rewards their labors.
If he has a point to carry which is doubt
ful, and the failure of which may derogate
from his fame, an underling is employed
to feel the ground ; he hangs aloof till he
fees how it takes, but whispers assistance
and plays the Prompter—at firft gives it
a fide wind puff, without committing him
fe/f —if that succeeds, he then likes the idea
and thinks under modifications it may do,
but still flieltere himfelf under a pro-vifo,
which may bring him fafcly off the field,
if neoeflary. He must pay a compliment
to young hands, approve their sentiments
and applaud their talents. Flattery is an
irrefiftable charm : He must now and then
support absurdities to keep his friends in
good humor, and oppose what he thinks
right, to disappoint and weaken his adver
saries. Such are the toils of a Party
I was much pained at a piece in your
paper of last evening, signed Crilo. The
dilputes refpe&ing the Theatre, I fup
poftd to have been at an end long since;
and little did I think that any of dis
ciples of Fanat'uifm would have again made
their appearance to rouse into adlion the
dormant principles of fuperjlitious bigotry
and ignorance. But it seems I was mistak
en, for the quiet and peaceable principles of
the oppofers to Theatrical representations
could not endure the mortify ingrefletlion of
being defeated in theiraims by thepowerful
arguments of Reason andT*UTH without
making an expiring effort to bring forth
the worst of passions lurking in the hu
man heart to aid their miserable cause;
and if poflible induce the molt ignorant
and uninformed part of the community to
fide with them, though evidently and un
deniably against their own interest.
But this amiable mejfenger of peace in
forms ut that " the devotees of Comus
triumph in the victory which they have
obtained," that they are " inflating the
feelings of their mourning fellow-citizens."
A rare discovery truly, and worthy of its
author !—lf by the • devotees of Conuis'
Leader.
For the Gazette of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.
Mr. Fenno,
From a Correfpondcnt.
I have not a doubt that those persons
who are willing to amuse themfclvei at
the Theatre, have felt and do feel as sensi
bly and warmly for the late dreadful cala
mity as any other person whatever, be
they who they may.—But at the fame
time are not quite willing to place unlimi
ted confidence in the alTertiont of such
immaculatcgeniufes as Crito, who take the
people for fools or madmen, to think they
can place the lead reliance on them,
wheu they pompously aflert with as much
aflurance as if they were special agents
of the Supreme Being, that our late cala
mity was owing to the ereaion of a The
atre, and that the continuance of drama
tic representations will inevitably bring it
on us again. I would also observe, that
while the citizens pursue their amufemenU
in an orderly peaceable manner, and with
decency, (which cannot be denied, has
been remarkably so in the cafe of the
Theatre, by any person who has the least
regard for truth) no dogmatical, a (Turning
di&ator has any business or right to in
terfere with them ; and if Crito or any of
his friends fllould " kindle a fiame" to
destroy our rights of conscience or impair
our constitution, he and they may be made
forelv to rue the day that their itch for
intermedling with the concerns of others, set
their plodding heads and hands at work,
to subvert and destroy the right of thinking
in every person but themselves.
The republican rear-admiral arrived, at
Hampton, writes to citizen Puyfere, com
manding the station, or rather the convoy
in the Chefapeak, the following letter,
" Puyfere ! hold thyfelf ready, thou and
thy convoy, to fail in ten days. Be it at
thy refponlibility if thou difobeyeft this
order."
This excellent defenderof morality hasdif
fered in hi* mode of attack from some of his
colleagues, and molt violently fell foul of
" the wealthier citizens" as'the encoura
gers of these amusements, whom he af
iures have all provided a retreat againfl
" next fummei," when he declares (be
yond all doubt from intuitive knowledge cr
infpirat'wn, or both,) that the yellow-'ferer
will again spread its deftrudive ravages
through our oity, and this he can with jus
tice aocufe them of as an attrocious crime,
since the faithful followers and firm belie
vers of his party remained to a man firm
at their pejis during that trying scene last
year ; and so great was their confidence
in their own virtues, merits ami doSrims,
that not a Jingle one was known to fly to
the country for protection andfecurity from
the contagion. But to the point, Crito
fays it is the "-wealthy" who are advo
cates for the Theatre. A great change
this, for it is not many months linpe some
of his party aflerted that the poor, the
lower, and the more infignificant classes only
were its friends, and that there was scarce
ly a wealthy or refpeaable person to be
found on that fide of the qutrftion. But
Confijlency, is a quality every person is not
born to inherit.
he means the friends of the Theatre and
such as are willing to amuse tliemfelves in
innocent recreation, I mult beg leave to
all< him to point out one single circum
stance wherein they have acted in this man
ncr* Has any insulting or triumphant
language or publications been ufcd or
made in any refpeft since the dispute was
thought to have been terminated—-No
But it seems some person has had the 'wfa
lent pnfumbtioaXo dare to give a chara&er
of the performers.
Here is " insulting the feelings of the
citizens with a vengeance—Wiio could
have thought that any person would have
had the brazen faced impudcnce to fay
whether the pei fonjiere acted well or ill 1
Tho' perhaps the good Crito would have
no objection to having his wondrous Vo
lenti celebrated in all the newspapers piib
lifhed on the continent.
