MISCELLANY.
From the Washington Fediralift.
—o—
To the Citizens of Prince George's
County.
Heretofore during the political dis
putes in this country, I have addressed
you under the signature of " Plain
Truth." Lately I have written in the
public prints against Tom Paine, and
his wicked dodrines, and also upon the
danger to be feared from the conduct
of foreigners.
These publications I understand have
occasioned a report, that I had desert
ed my former principles of Republican
ism—Such reports are personal, they
are falfe and cruel, and I now meet
them with my proper name. I lament
that an address of this kind cannot
contain these letters against infidels and
dangerous foreigners. They are to
be found in the-public prints and I am
ready to be judged by their contents.
Suffer me however, to put this business
in a true point of view, before you de
termine —I defy the tongue of malice
to fay the statement I will make is not
corred, and I herechallenge the whole
host of Foreign Infidels, to defend
their pretensions. Hearthen my friends
and fellow-citizens, a plain story. Cer
tain foreigners have come among us,
and disturbed the peace and quiet of
our country. They have brought
with them printers who are circulating
newspapers throughout the union.
These papers contain rancorous abuse
against our most diftinguiffied charac
ters. They keep up a party spirit a
mong ournative citizens. By indcent
petitions these foreigners have intuited
the Congress at their last session. With
unheard-of insolence they have met in
Jacobin clubs and dared to ,dictate to
our President, whom he shall turn out
of office and whom he shall put in.
They have branded with infamy in a
public print all the merchants of the
United States. They have publicly
avowed their with to destroy all the
courts ofjuftice ; and such is their
strength in Penfylvania, that they did
pass a law to that effeft, and the state
Was saved by the manly resistance of
Governor M'Kean. They have lately
in Philadelphia, given notice in their
public prints, that if any Federalist
shall come to the poll to give his vote
at a public election, such Federalist
mud expert to fuffer. Thus maymod
crate native Republicans readily fore
fee it will be their turn next. These
are a few of the many dangerous pro
ceedings of a set of foreigners who have
been obliged to fly from other coun
tries and meet here to carry on their
hellish designs.—They can never be
fatisfied, until they have like France
deluged our country in blood ; and
Seized upon its ruins !
These doings however are but a small
part of their milcondud. They know
hat Christianity, is every where em
,,raced in the United States, and they
know too that so long as the people ad
.ere to the blessed dodrines in the
Jhriftian faith, they cannot overturn
he government and seize upon every
hing, and therefore to compleat the
great work effectually, they attack the
foundation of all order, the Christian
Religion. But before this could be
done with any profped of success, it
was neceflary to throw our people
into parties, and inflame the public
mind. It was necessary to attack the
fame of Gen, Washington, whom the
people loved, and who bad been known
to recommend an observance of the
chriftian faith.
It was neteffary also by every means
to excite such a political rage, and ha
tred among ourselves, that rather than
be defeated in elections, we would con
sent to receive their votes and overlook
their principles ; thus they might gain a
footing, and begin the great work of
definition. I appeal to any man if
these things have not come to pass. Is
it not as notorious as the fun at noon
day, that places have been aligned in
our large cities, for Elihu Palmer and
others, to preach publicly against Chris
tianity ? Not content with preaching in
fidelity, this fame Palmer has adverti
zed in the Baltimore papers for Sub
scribers to a newspaper, the object of
which, is to write down the Christian
Religion, in this country. Whilst these
tilings were going on, the infamous
Tom Paine arrived in America, and
scarce had he got a lodging (and it was
difficult to get one) before he joined
the blasphemous pack of blood hounds
already in full cry. He immediately
placed himfeif at the head of the cut
throats, telling us in his “Ageofße^fa"
that the Holy Bible is all a lie, that the
Virgin Mary was a whore, and that
Jesus Christ was a bastard and an im
postor. These things were going thro'
the public papers—no Republican had
come out to disclaim such enormities
_I was constantly told that things had
come to pass which the Federalists had
foretold, and the Republicans had al
ways denied. Thus situated and thus
mortified, I publiflied my letters aganft Paine—
the danger of such Foreigners and a
the dreadful effe&s of infidelity I de
in these publications that Republicans ac
. unedited such men or such principles, be
'% they were unknown in other times, and
have originated from insidious revolutlohifts.
This, fellow-citizens, is ' the head and front
of my offending,' and no more. I have written,
that ‘ feif government is the rock of our liber
ty,and the band of our union—That Christiani
ty is the faithful monitor to moral duty,and the
unerring guide to eternal bliss. That America
ought to be governed by Americans only, and
that we ought to cultivate harmony among na
tive citizens.' If this be changing principles, I
have been ignorant of Republic anifm. But
who is the American who will avow a contrary
sentiment ?
If there be found even one,! trail he can
find but few followers in Prince-George's
County. Here then I proclaim once for all,
my political creed—l am the fame Republican
1 have ever been—That I am a sincere friend
to the letterand spirit of the constitution—That
I love order in society, founded upon Religion,
Law, and Juftice —That I disapprove of the sys
tem of measures pursued during Mr. Adams's
administration, and I approve of the fytlem
which has been pursued during Mr. Jefferfon's,
excepting as to foreigners—That I believe no
country can flourish, no people can be happy
where the Christian Religion is not embraced
and pradifed, or where such country and such
people are not governed by their own native ci
tizens ? Let any man fay where I have written
or spoken a sentiment contrary to these opin
ions. Let any man fay, if this be not our old
genuine, constitutional Republicanism Let
any man fay, if other doctrines, such as infidel
ity, and the right of Foreigners to direct our
government, are attempted to be forced upon
us, whether the man who opposes them or the
man who passes them over unnoticed, be the
best Republican ; and let the people decide as
they will, and mud do, the truth or error of
such principles !
I am ready to concede that there are many
Foreigners who Shared the dangers of our Rev
olution, and are entitled constitutionally to the
benefits of native citizens ; and I will also ad
mit, that there are many amiable and deserving
among those who have been here since the war,
but those cases do not affe& the general princi
ples and whoever will read the hiftorics of the
civilized world, will find that almost every
country upon earth has at one time or other
been conquered, destroyed, or taken possession
of, by fuffering Foreigners to come among
them. And why, let me ask any reasonable
man, are we to expert a better fate, if we do
not in time avoid the fatal errors of other na
tions ? We arc certainly a more easy prey than
almost any other country, to the intrigues of
designing men, and when we confider that the
couvulfions in Europe have driven here many
of the mod abandoned of the human race, who
can be insensible to our danger ? Or who that
will not wish a law to prevent all farther emi
gration ? But there is yet a more fatal circum
stance to alarm us It is an organized society
of men to overturn all the regular governments
upon earth, and at the fame time to destroy the
chriftian religion. They have been at work
for more than fifty years in Europe, and it is to
them and them only we are to attribute all the
miseries of France and other countries—They
have got their emissaries here, and have began
the work—Those who are not in the way to
know these things, let them get the books that
will inform them—Let them get 'Robinfon's
proofs of a cortfpiracy'—"Godwin's Political Juf
tice''—"Paine's words" —and "O'Learys defence
of Cbrf." Let them be read attentively, then
peruse an account of the French revolution and
they can have a very just idea of their designs
here. In this country the people are innocent
& happy generally at this time, they can scarcely
believe or imagine the fatal danger to
which we are fubjed, and yet the very
famecaufes which have produced rivers
of the blood of man in Europe are at
work here, and mud have the fame ef
fe&s unless they are flopped—The fads
I have dated dare not cannot be deni
ed, and will not the foul of every Amer
ican shrink upon itfelf and startle at the
horrors of infidelity ? Christianity is the
foundation of all order-It is the guar
dian of our Constitutions and laws—
becaufe every officer in all the goverH
mentsarc boundby an oath-Loofenthis
tie and we are undone. Christianity is
the greatest security for our lives and
our property —because when you des
troy the obligations and solemnity of
an oath, wicked men may swear away
either without fear of punishment in this
world,or the world tocome. Christianity
is the only check upon the paffionsbf man
when he has power over another ; take
away this check, & men will become
Devils—Christianity on the other hand,
is man's bed comfort in distress ; it ena
bles him to be patient under fufferings,
& cheers ev'y drooping foul with abetter
state hereafter, Why, or for what reason such
blessed principles must be overturned ?
God in his wisdom can only tell—we
know thefafts to be fo,and we are bound
to prevent it. But let us suppose that
Religion was overturned in this coun
try, how then would things stand ? The
answer is ready,becaufe it has been fair
ly tried for seven or eight years in
France— Let any man read the hiftory
of those bloody years and he will not
only be fatisfied and weep for the wick
edness of mankind, but he will have the
proper and necessary sense of his own
danger.—
How will you like to Qave the slaves
let loose and join the new imported
Foreigners ? This is a part of infideli
ty, and a part of their Liberty and
Equality—ls it unreasonable to sup
pose that our native citizens would be
Sacrificed, our wives and children pros
tituted and that those who were spared
could only find fafety by treading in
the footfteps of the wandering Indians ?
How would you like your wives and
daughters to be the common property
of every villain, so that no child can
know its Father? Yet this is their
doctrine. How would youliketo have
the hard earnings of your life, snatch
ed from you, and your throat cut if
you refitted ? All this has been done in
France, and much more—many of the
fame men who produced the evils there,
are now here with others of the fame
principles, renewing their horrid
fchem^s. Believe not my countrymen

Wanted —At this < ffice, an ap
prentice to the Printing Buhnels.
that I heighten ips pifture, or that I
wish to 'dir up mens blood.' The time
is come when Americans must speak
out—The time is come when they
ought to forfake party politics and
unite against their common enemy for
their common fafety. a To my mind
the true questions before the people at
this time, are :
ift. Will you support the Christian
Religion /
2dly. Will you pppofe the intro
duction of Foreigners into our Coun
try and Government ?
If these two points can be fixed, the
United States have nothing to fear.
But if they are not, the miseries which
follow, will be a punishment upon our
selves, and make another solemn admo
nition to the settlers of the next new
country. With these sentiments, Fel
low-Citizens, I retire from all concerns
in your Elections, because I exped to

this oCcafion to tender you my sincere
wishes for your health and prosperity.
With sentiments of esteem and refpe&

his offering to the Public at this time the fol

wished for, this small class will soon be drawn,
and the neat proceeds immediately applied to

This Class is small; and contains only 4000
