YOU observe that, in the last para
graph of Cheetham's impeach
ment, he has defended Mr. Jefferfon
against a most exasperating instance
of Federal Calumny. It had been au
daciously stated that, after Callender
had paid his fine of two hundred dol
lars, the money was returned by an or
der from the President.—With great
perspicuity and justness of reasoning,
Mr, Cheetham observes, that “ the ex
“ travagant and Unfounded story is of
" itfelf, fufficient to brahd fallhood up
"on the face of the propagator. Such
“an ad would have been a violation
" of the oath of the executive and ren
“ dered him liable to impeachment. It
" would have been tranfeending the ob
" vious letter of his duty, and, had it
" been done, would have called from
“ the minority, and justly too; the fe
" vereft reprehension."
There is much more to the fame pur
pose. It was the legal opinion of ma
ny of the belt friends of Mr; Jefferfon,
that he had no constitutional title to re
turn the fine. A few days after Cal
lender had paid this money,and of con
sequence had been difeh^rged from
cutiody, Mr. George Jefferfon called
upon Callender, at the house of Mr.
Rose, keeper of the jail of Richmond.
Mr. Jefferfon produced a flip of paper,
which was tinderftood to be an extra#
of a letter from his kinsman. The ex
act words are not remembered. Mr.
Jefferfon, after reading the flip of paper
once over, call it into the fire. But
the tenor of the message was, that Cal
lender should not be a loser by the pay
ment of his fine. Mr. Rose was present
when this past. A few days after
wards, Mr. David Meade Randolph
sent for Callender, with a message that
he was directed to return him the two
hundred dollars. Within a short time,
the latter w#R'4 upon the marshal, in
full confidence of receiving back his
money. Mr. Randolph observed that
he had received an interim admonition
from some eminent lawyers in Rich
mond. He said, that they had con
vinced him, that the President must
have been mistaken, that he had exceed
ed his powers in making such apromife.
Ina word these lawyers had said at
that time, what Cheetham fays now.
The re-payment of the fine was sus
pended until the 20th June thereafter,
that is to fay, for three months and an
half. President Jefferfon instantly dis.
covered the trap into which he had be
trayed himfelf. Delays of repayment
g,IN the Recorder of the trth inst. we
find a lengthy production copied fromChetbamr
" Republican tVatch Tower ;" replete with feur
rillious remarks on J. T. Callender, the editor
of the Recorder. At the clpfe of these remarks,
Cheetham, alluding to the report of Mr. Jeffer
fon's remission of Calender's fine,fays, "But as
if federal calumny could never be satiated, ic
has been further Dated that Mr. Jefferfon order
ed Callender's fine of two hundred dollars to
be repaid out of the national Treasury, which
was accordingly done,—The extravagant and
unfounded ftary is of itfelf fufficient to brand
fallhood upon the propagator. Such an a&
would have been a violation of the oath of the
executive, and rendered him liable to impeach
ment. [Marl, reader, this conftfon.] It would
have been transcending the obvious letter of his
duty, and, bad it been done, would have called
from the minority, and justly too, the severest
reprehension. Theamiable aud praise-worthy
disposition of the Executive to relieve those who
were fuffering under the rigours of the sedition
law, at his accession to the Presidency, has been
metamorphosed by federal ingenuity into an in
fra<ftion of the Constitution, into the commif.
fion of an aft which he never performed. That
the Executive wotld have ordered the fine to
have been dispensed with, had it not been paid,
we have no doubt. It would have been his
duty to have done so ; its omission would have
been reprehensible. The President, with every
other friend of freedom, could not but be of o
pinion, that the sedition law was unconstitu
tional, and exceedingly pet nicious ; it was there
fore his duty, one which we are proud to fay
he was determined to perform, to remove eve
ry pain and penalty inflicted under it. But
Callender's fine having been paid intotheTrea
fury the President had no controul over it. In
deed regardlef# as Callender is of truth, and
determined as he is to injure, as much as he
can, the present administration, he has, to the
best of our recolle&ion, Rated that Mr. Jef
ferfon never gave the order ascribed to him by
the federalifts. He has flatly contradicted the
calumny, although it faits the purposes of Cole
man and Prentiss to repeat it. v
g, to this statement, Mr. Callender makes
the fubfcquent reply.

irom the (Richmond) RECORDER.
—o—
* It certainly was from no personal attachment
to Thomas Jefferfon, that the Author went such
lengths as he did. But as Jefferfon had been so
great a gainer by the business, he was bound in
gratitude to serve those, who had so essential
ly served him ; as well ashe was bound in jus
tice to /„ bis promises.
+ Yotfog's Night rhoughtA
succeeded. At the end of the fix weeks
a letter of expostulation. couched in a
style not very flattering, was addressed
by Callender, then afi Richmond, to
Mr. Jefferfon, then at Monticello. The
letter was delivered to" Mr. Jefferfon,
perfonally.-=When the President had
read the letter, he gave to the gentle
man who brought it, a verbal and un
meaning answer. Upon receiving no
tice of it, Callender inttantly wrote a
letter to the Secretary of State, His
object was not to solicit, as a favor the
repayment of the two hundred dollars.
On the contrary, he demanded as a
right, the performance of the Prefdent's
promise. Mr. Madison had paid for
and had received fifteen copies of the
firft Volume of the ' Profpefl.' He had
also called at Richmond jail, to pay the
author for a parcel of copies of a sub
sequent publication. From the firft of
the authors productions, that Mr. Madi
son had seen, from the Political Progress,
and the Short HtJlory of Excise, through
a long succession of publications, this
ornament and delight of Congress had
been uniform and decisive in his criti
cal approbation. To this gentleman,
Callender applied by letter. He dat
ed the Premunire into which Mr. Jes.
ferfon would bring himfelf by a direct
breach of an unsolicited promise. He ad
verted to the triumph which the feh-'
ra! party would enjoy by the difeovery
“of this piece of faall Hißory." He
observed that if he was to be defriud
ed of those two hundred dollars, “ pof
“ terity would have nothing to fay con
" cerning the ingratitude of Charles
" the Second to the poet Butler, who
" had never been imprisoned, nine
“ months,on account of his Majefty."*
It was observed that the writer of the
letter would not submit to an evident
wrong, even from Mr. Jefferfon, “ all
president as he is."- It was remarked
that the subscriber had been for months
past, in daily expectation of receiving
this money back again ; that Mr. Jef
ferfon knew him to be in want of it ;
that it was the only fund upon which
he depended for enabling him to defray
the expellees ofajourney to Pennsylva
nia to fee some relationsfrom whom he
had been absent aboutj years ; that by
Mr.Jefferfon's refufal to execute hisvol
unteer proposal of.repaying the fine,the
claimant had already fuffered more
trouble and more ridicule than die
whole worth of the money. There
was more to the fame purpose. But
the reader is most likely tired of so trif
ling a fubjeft.
7 he heart of Mr. James Madison 'was
wot accessible to arguments, or to motives
like these. By the President's election,
his mind had become at once triumph
ant and contracted. He felt no plea
sure in demandingjuftice for an author,
whose writings had, for so many years,
been approved and praised by himfelf.
Mr. Madison did not enter into the
feelings of a man, who had, for three
years, been absent from his relations.
Frozen at heart volnkpeculation Jbines,
the patriot and Republican Secretary
could barely recognize the Virginian
victim of the Sedition act; the man;
with whom he bad supported a peifoh
al acquaintance of seven years; the man
who had^one infinitely farther to serve
the republican cause than Mr. Madison
himfelf durst have gone.
Occurrences took place afterwards,
Which cannot be fuppofedto interest the
public at large. In the sequel of inter-'
course, a publication toms announced. T< e
secretary of state contented himfelf with
expressing a hope and an expectation,
that he was not to be compreh: nded in
the attack. Before theie had elapsed
an interval of time fufficient to make
it, the fine &f t<wo hundred dollars was re
turned. This was upon the 20th of
June, 1801. If Duane or Cheetham
ihall deny that the money was paid
back, their denial shall be passed over
with contemptuous silence. We are
not ambitious of waging war with the cor
reftion boufe, or the gibbet. But if Sam
uel Smith, or some other Jefferfonian
editor of decent manners, fball dare to
contradid our statement, the certificate
of the gentleman who paid back the
money, and of the witnesses to Callen-
No ;it is not impoffibU; The fa&
is too stubborn to be beaten down by
the nfere assertion of the felf dubbed
Cicero. Mr. Jefferfon did give Callen
der "twice 50 dollars" for Writing a
gainst the adminiltrations. The truth
of the charge does not rest on the ve
racity of Callender alone ; persons are
named and appealed to in lupport of
what he alledges. In Callender's sass
Recorder we find the following parage,
" dp the seventh letter to femes; it was
fated that Mr. Jefferfon had, unjolicited,
font 100 dollars to a,ft in printing the
two volumes of the Profteft. The money
was paid at two different times by his re
lation,Mr. George Jefferfori, who is ready
to attest the fad."
But why is not Callender hi%felf en
titled. to credit? because fays the A
merican Citizen, " no reliance could EV
ER be placed on him." Indeed! How
then dared Mr. Jefferfon to give his
fandion to the writings of a man of
this description ? With what confeience
could he permit them to go into the
world ? why did he not when the fych
men-ffieets were before pto, at i ea ft
der's fubfeription of a receipt for it,
ihall instantly be published; and the
paltry denial (hall crumble into atoms,
I'ke ginger-bread in the jaws of a mam
moth. The hired bludgeon of Cheet
ham has inflicted a blow, that whole
centuries of eloquence never, can re
pair. That the fine has been repaid
is a truth just as demonstrable as that
the fun rose yesterday. The mercena
ry dagger of calumny has been turned
against its paymaster, & plunged to the
hilt. Coleman is the present Field Mar-
I fhal of Federal Editors. If he does not,
, at this breach, storm the mud ramparts
of the Republican Watch Tower, if he
does not rend from its base that totter
ing citadel of Monticellian defamation,
Coleman deserves to be damned to ev.
erlafting file ice. If Jefferfon has de
ceived, or injured, dr insulted honest
men, if they are capable of feeling re
sentment, if they can be so barbarous as
to trample upon a fallen enemy, to ex
ult in the agonies of detected helpless
ness, and in the pangs of intelligent
&me,they may now satiate themselves
in all the savageness, and sport in all
the extacy of vengeance. Their hearts
may throb with “ the turbulence of
joy, and the pain of gladness." A

With this reinforcement of “ distres
sed fugitives" the " Republicans"
made a desperate effort at the lad elec
tion, and finally succeeded in elevating
to that Ration which a Washington once
held, the very man who during his ad

language with Genet at variance with

and withdrew to the groves of Monti
cello under the declared presence of
bidding a final adieu to public life, but
who instead of pursuing the “ philo
sophic bent of his mind' was incessant
ly employed in propping up his own
popularity by every dishonorable arti
fice in his power ; who encouraged,
nay paid for the vilest calumnies again t
Washington and his adminißranon—
paid for the abuse ofhim whilst living,
and rewarded the unhallowed hands
which invaded his sacred tomb and at

madness which produced this disgrace

resuming her empire, and ari iridignant
people will ere long with becoming
scorn hurl the pigmy politician, the
hollow hearted philofop&f, from the
place which he has ttfarped in their af
feriions and confidence.
Pray what were the " federal arts if
not fraud," which are here charged up
on us by this alien editor ? Where and
how were they pradifed ? Was there
any thing finifter,any thing fraudulent,
in the preference given by a majority
of the American people of Mr. Adams
to Mr. Jefferfon ? And yet this is simply
the whole amount of subtlety and crime
now seriously charged against the fede
ralifts. It is degrading enough to our
country, that Mr. Jefferfon should at
any time hold that Ration in the Gov
ernment, which was Once filled by the
great and virtuous Washington; but
that he should have been his immediate
successor, would have been too injuri
ous to the fame of that illustrious char
a#er, and too humiliating to the pride
of all ^ho feel a proper interest in the
honor of their country. It would have
been, by one violent movement, to vi
brate from all that was great and good
to the extreme of littleness and depravi-,
ty. From so sudden a degradation we
were saved—not by “ arts"—not b,
'fraud'—but by those manly sentiments
which had carried us through the rev
olution, and 'had so far supported the
administration of our Government.
The people had not then yielded to that
delusion which has since blinded them
to the arts of hypocrisy, and made them
the dupes of the fouled slander. Mod
ern patriotism had not yet numbered
its proselytes ; a little accession of
strength was still wanting, and powerful
auxiliaries were found in those restless
difeontented spirits, who spurning the
restraints of Government in the old
world, had traversed the ocean in search
of freedom which would give full in
dulgence to their profligate, licentious
dispositions.
suggest some correction, amendment,
revision or alteration? With what face
and under what impression could he
compliment him as a writer ? But above
all, why did he pay him the price of
his iniquity ? These are questions which
must be answered in some other way
than has yet been attempted, or the
object of Democratic adoration mull,in
the estimation of this whole communi
ty fink into that approbium,which men
acquainted with his character have long
since attached to him.
After a little unmeaning abuse of
the last administration, and some very
fulfome compliments to Mr. Jefferfon
the Citizen proceeds—
“ Nay,fi far from his funding in need
" °f paying Callender, or any other bire
" ling, for writing against the late admin
