Edward Parry,
t. In no one instance, within the scope
cf our recollection, has the kafenefs and de
pravity of the fupperters of the present ad
ministration been more flagrant, than in
the falfaods circulated by thim to injure
the refutation of the Hon. JOHN RUT
LEDGE — cne ofthe Representatives of
the State of South-Carolina, in Congrejs
during his late vi/it to Newport, Rhode-
I,land. It is well known, that the minis
terial party in Cengrefs—goaded by the
bold and manly ^poftions of Mefrs. Bay
ard, Rutledge, and others, during the la,l
feffion —immediately on the recess of Con
grejs, put measures in a train to remove
them from the Councils of the Union. In
this they were promised, we are told, all
the aid and influence of the Executive. To
effeCt an objeft so -much desired by the Presi
dent, and so efeitial tothe convenience of
the majority ofCongrefs—the thorough-going
parasites of the party were direfled to go
all lengths—and, if necessary, to call to
their aid all the arts of falfhood, forgery
and corruption. How closely the direction
has been followed ; events abundantly mani
fefl :—And bow ill they have fucccqded irf
Delaware, is too well known. Thefacri
fice of the South- CarWna victim required
more dexterity and Jkill, than that of Mr.
Bayard. — Accordingly the itfdious arts
of forgery were refuted to as will appear
in the fufe: next publications ; and though
detefte&pnd the cowardly author of it coh
ered wiifr infamy and djgraee ; —the lie
has obtained an exterfae circulation ; and
many weak-headed democrats have been
made to believe it, to be true. We do not
receive the Newport Jacobin paper in which
the attack was firft made ; and therefore
have not been able of ourftees to take that
notice of tbefubjeft which its importance,
and the high ref,eft we have for the gen
tleman calumniated ha: demanded : But
the indefatigable and able Editor of the
New-York Evening Poll having taken
it up with his usual ability arid perspicuity,
we are new enabled to lay it before our read
ers. —^o— [Cent.
From the n, y. evening post.
A PAPER called the Rhode-Illand Repub
lican, printed at Newport, bf one Farnf
worth, commenced a direct attack on the repu-,
tation of Mr. Rutledge, in an article under the
title of “ Rutledge's Letters.' 1 The avowed
object was to Ihew, that Mr. Rutledge was re
ally the author of two certain letters which had
been sent to the President under the signature
of " Nicholas Geffroy,''with a view to bring
hint, " the President into contempt." The plan
had been well fyftamati^ed, and the hand writ
ing of Mr. Rutfedge in some measure so well
counterfeited, that though it was by no means
calculated to Hand the scrutiny of close infpec
tion,yet to a firft glance it might tofottie appear
to be his. The author of the attack, therefore,
to ensure the readied currency of his slander,
boldly invited the public to infped the letters,
and compare them with Mr,Rutledge's writing.
The following then appeared in the Newport
Mercury September zift, addressed to the print
er of the Rhode-Ifland Republican :
Mr. Farnsworth,
THE publicity which you have giv
en to certain lidiculous and contempti
ble compositions, under the title of
“ Rutledge's Letters," and the malicious
and unprovoked attack which you have
permitted to be made upon me, by
name, in your Gazette, entitle me, I
think, to demand a place in it for the
enclosed documents. They are the de
positions of every person in this place
known to be in the habit of correfpori
dence with me, or supposed to be well
acquainted with my hand-writing; by
every one of whom it'Bas been une
quivocally declared, that the original
letters,produced to them in the presence
of the fheri£ were not written by me.
Although a confeioufnefs of the recti
tude of my conduft, and a confidence
in the justice of the public, might ren
der any additional proofs of my inno
cence unnecessary; yet the refpeCt
which I feel for the opinions of my fel
low-citizens(to merit whose esteem will
ever be my highest ambition) has in
duced me to obtain the depbfition of
the unoffending individual, whose name
has been used on this occasion probably
because his ignorance of our language,
and of the true Rate of our politics,
would afford a greater facility of pro
curing from him the evidences of a forg
ed cofrefpondence which he might not
underhand, and about which he would
be indifferent.* This affidavit, which
may be seen at the office of B. Hazard,
Esq. Rates, that the wafer of the firft of
the two answers therein referred to, at
the time cf its delivery, was so wet,and
so evidently of tecent insertion, as to
'*[Nichola? Geffroy .• a Frenchman.—E. P.

®Kacc&, anti
cause immediate suspicion of the letter's
having been fabricated in this town ;
that it was accordingly returned to the
Poll-Office, with a complaint of impo
fitton, and a demand of the restoration
of the postage ; which demand was im
mediately and readily complied with by
th^ Poftmaiter, although the letters had
been already opened, and read in a
place other than the Poft-Office. It
further Rates, that a certain Senator of
the United States, from this. State,kind
ly & voluntarily charged himfclf with
the letter, for the purpose of comparing
it with certain letters from the Presi
dent then in his possession, and of de
tedting the imposition. It also Rates,
that the fame Senator predicted the ar
rival ofother letters from the fame quar
ter, and by the fame hand ; that he
asked and obtained permission to take
up at the Poft-Office such letters when
they ffiould arrive - that he afterwards
acknowledged having taken up a second
letter, and that the laid Senator had de
clared, on the 18th inst. he had deliver
ed the said two letters to the President
in person. I have also obtained a cer
tificate from a refpedlable citizen of this
town, corroborating the fad of the let
ter, said to have been from the Presi
dent, having at the time of its delivery
a wet wafer, evidently of recent inser
tion. These documents are lodged,Mr.
Printer, at , the office of B. Hazard,efq.
notary public in this town, where they
are offered for the infpe^ion of your
coriefpondent and of.your other read
ers, even without “ the attendance of the
fbe&f." I Shall not offer any animad^
verlions at present upon this mod ex
•traordinary fabrication, or the Singular
circumflance of the arrival of the second
letter having been-predieed. It is no
common good fortune, Mr. Printer to
detect calumny, " which walking iq
darkness, Spreads contagion far and
wide, which the most wary traveller
cannot avoid," and to detect the calum
niator.—ln my situation, and under
present cirumftances to effed more would
be impossible— to attempt it uielefs. I
cannot hope for honorable fatisfa&ioii
from a " foul fiend," whole prey is in
nocence and whole sport is ruin, and I
must conclude by declaring that the in
sinuation ofyourcorrefpondentyrefpe&-
ing me in your last Gazette, is a mali
cious and infamous calumny, and that
he is a Scoundrel and a Liar.

Having corresponded with the Hon. John

to avail myfelf of the general invitation given
lafySaturday in a newspaper called th," Rhode
Island Republican," printed in this town by
Oliver Farnfworth : and on my calling at Ms.
Farnfworth's office, he handed th me two let
ters, which he said were the originals of thofc he
had just published, and of which Mr. Rutledge
was thef&ppofgd writer; one of them dated in
Newport,Auguftift,! Boi,and signed “ Nicholas
Geffroy ;" and the other dated in Newport:
Aogaft 7th, 1801, and signed " Nics Geffroy."
1 law the fuperlcription of only one of them;
which was to " the President of the United

was not fhewu to me. I examined With atten

them wi{h the fapcrfcripti&n of a letter, and
with several notes writen by ^r. Rutledge,
