Wa/hington Peirce,
The introduaory part of your addreft to your
fellow citizens on your entering upon office is
couched in terms of extreme modesty. You
declare your "confeioufnefs that the talk is above
your talents, and that you approached it with
those anxious and awful presentiments which the
greatness of the charge, and the weakness of yotrr
powers, so justly inspired. You even ihrunk
from the contemplation, and humbled yourfelf
before the magnitude of the undertaking." On
this language it is to be remarked, that men
would be less disposed to fufpe& it of insinceri
ty, had it been less emphatical; and cfpecially,
if it had not been known, that you had long pos
sessed a strong desire to obtain the office, and
that your friends had with your knowledge,
employed all human devices, for several years,
to procure your election ; it is probable there
fore, that the strong language of the introduc
tion will be coufidered by most men as a thin
disguise to cover your ardent passion for the
office of chief magistrate, and a lively exultation
at the success of your wishes.
After a very modest introduaion, you remark,
that “ during the contest of opinion through which
vc have pafl, the animation of difeuffions and ex
ertions has Sometimes worn an afpe&, which
might impose on strangers unused to think freely
and to (peak and write what they think; but
this [I suppose contest of opinion] being now
decided by the voice of the nation, announced
according to the rules of the Copflitution, all wit
of oourfe arrange tbemfelvee under the will of the
law, a/d unite in common efforts for the com
mon good."
SIR,
AT a lime when the public mind is extreme
ly agitated by .the measures # your ad
miniftratiou, and of the new administration of
the government of New-York ; when violent
party men Run our ears with clamour, fubfti
tucing haffti names for substantial things, and
inventive for argument; you, who pride your
felf in being the “ friend of the people, and
profefs to have their happiuefs for the primary
obje& of your councils, cannot be displeased
with the attempt of a private citizen to make
you hers the “ still small voice" of truth. As
I never had any thing to desire from your fa
vour, nor fear from your resentment, I (hall
write without the remotest influence from per
sonal irritations ; and being conscious that troth
and the bed intereff of my country are the sole ob
jects of my labour. I (hall not address you in
language for which I am unwilling to be per
sonally answerable.
More than fix months have elapsed fincc the
administration of our national government has
been entrusted to your care. On your inaugu
ration,your flatterers announced the commence
ment of a new era, which was to be a kind of
political millenium ; a period when the fatan of
difeord and anti-republican principles was to be
bound for a thousand years, and cast into the
bottomless pit ; and the citizens of the United
States regenerated and exalted, Should lose the
imperfections of their nature, and live and
reign in the enjoyment of uninterrupted blessed
ness, surrounded with the glories of their po
litical faviour. These elutions of enthusiasm
were considered as the effects of servile adula
tion ; and made no impression on the minds of
sober, rational men.—Your opponents with a
Singular unanimity, which wore the appearance
of a concerted plan, but, which was solely the
effect of good principles, determined to throw
no obstacles in the way of your administration ;
but to withhold any Severe ftri&ures on your
firft meafures,with a view to give your councils
3 fair chance to meet the public approbation.
Your inaugural address, which all men confider
as a text to your subsequent measures was
fought after, and read with more than usual in
tereft.—lts firft impression on the public mind
was as favourable as your friends could wiSh, &
as you intended. Difeerning men indeed saw
it to be susceptible, in many of its parts, of a
double conftrudlion—Some of your oppofers,fup
pofed it intended to be susceptible of such con
ftru&ions. The less knowing men among your
friends, supposing your mind co be pure and in
capable of duplicity, were alarmed de your mod
eration, fecrccly murmuring at your abandon
ment of your party principles. They looked
forward, with mortification to a coalition of
parties, which Should disappoint their hopes,and
frustrate their expelled triumph over their fed
eral enemies. But the great body of the people
who are of pure minds and cafy credulity,found
in your address, much reason co coufole them'
Selves on the change of administration, expect
ing that a spirit of conciliation in its measures,
and a cheerful acquicfcence on the part of your
oppoferJ, would heal the wounds Which party
spirit had inflicted on the public tranquility.
I candidly acknowledge that I was one who
regretted your elevation to the Presidency of
our empire ; but sensible of the imperfections
of man, and the necefficy of making many Sac
rifices to the opinions of others,! wished to fee
your administration supported by all parties,
Unless clearly unconfticutional, and direCHy
tending to undermine our public peace. I have
waited, with an indulgent temper, for you to
unfold to view the system of measures which
you intended to pursue ; 1 have carefelly exam
ined your public ads, and endeavoured to form
a candid estimate of your profefllons, your mea
sures, and the consequences which will unavoid
ably refyit from them. With this temper, I
enter on the examination of your inaugural ad
dress, your answer co the New-Haven reriion
ftrance, and the probable effed of the principles
you have avowed, on the political welfare of
the United States.

the splendid court of Egypt, where his
superior talents and learning might
have procured his advancement to the
highest honors of the state. But his
nation, in the mean time, were in bitter
bondage—He heard their groans—he
beheld their Bufferings; and his great
and noble heart throbbed with unutter
able ienfations,as of indignation against
the oppressors, as of companion for the
opprefled—lmpelled by sentiments of
the most pure and sublime patriotism,
Moses at length refufed to be called the
son of Pharoah's daughter, relinquish
ing the pleasures and honors of one of
the fineftcourts in the world, and ex
posed himfelf to a variety of distressing
hardships and perils, in order to deliver
his oppressed people. Allifted by the
hand of Heaven, he led them from the
house cf bondage. His time, bis tal
ents, his whole attention, were constant
ly occupied in their service. For their
fakes he endured lleeplels nights and
toilsome days, the privation of the com
mon comforts of life, and scenes of dis
tressing solicitude. Stich and so great
was his patriotism, that when his peo
ple for their rebellious conduct were
threatened to be cut off by the hand of
Heaven, he entreated that the fatal
ftrokc might fall on himfeif rather than
on them. So disinterested was his ad
' ministration, that he never attempted
to eftablilh and aggrandize his own
This paragraph contains implications whith
ought not to be over looked. The contest of opin
ion, through which we have past must aiinde to
the controversies,on the fubjed of your election ;
and this direCtly admits the cxu'tenbe of parties,
and not only so, but violent parties, whole con
troversies had been animated. Yet, after a few
sentences, you tell us, chat “ every difference
of opinion is not a difference of principle ; that
we are all republicans, all federalifts." It fol
lows from these declarations, that, in your opin
ion, the parties have contended, not for princi
ples, but lor unimportant opinions. This conclu
fiou seems to be unavoidable, and the only con
clusion which will render intelligible your dif
tindion between opinion and principle. But
this concession criminates yourfelf and your
friends; for unimportant concerns can never
juftify men in violent and animated exertions to
change the administration.
But the contest is elofed, and you tell us Al
{who or what ? where is the antecedent of this
word ?] will of course arrange themfclves un
der the will of the law. Is not the implication
of this prophetic affection, that all bad not before
been arranged under the will of the law >
Surely every sentence of the philosophical
Jefferfon mutt carry with it meaning. And bad
you the vanity to suppose that your administra
tion would huih all political contest ? But who
were the men that had not before been ar
ranged under the will of the law ? Were they
your friends or your oppofers ? The will of tbe
law, while your predecessor was in office, was
to submit quietly to his administration. If any
persons did not thus submit, but opposed that
administration, they were your friends, and these
were the men who did not arrange themfclves
under the will of the law. Indeed this is the
clear import of the passage. You do not cen
sure that opposition to the will of the law; but
rather apologifc for it, and tell us, now the
point is carried the contest will end, and " all
will unite in common efforts for common good."
In this prediction, you seem to calculate very 1
much on the good disposition of your own tal
ent for conciliation.
But the most prominent feature of the pas
sage under consideration is, its contradiction of
another passage. The one is predicated on the
idea, that the country has been divided into vi
olent parties, whole animation of discussions
and exertions wore a threatning afpe& ; and
another declares that we differ only in unessen
tial points, while we are all of one party in fadt,
republicans and federalifts being the fame. The
paffdges contain sophistry or contradiction, arid
one of them is incdnfiftent with the declarations
you have made on another occaflon, as we shall
hereafter fee; and with the whole tenor of
ydur political conduct.
REPUbI jICS have too often requit
ed their wife and faithful rulers with
ingratitude. Many a real patriot, ca
lumniated and supplanted by feme vile
intriguer, has been left to eac the bread
of misery, and has bitterly experienced
the reproaches and execrations of the
very people to whose service his life had
been faithfully devoted. In illustration
of this melancholly truth, we will draw
our example partly from the bible, not
only because it is more univerlally
known to our readers,frat also because
that, more than any other hiftory it
truly delienates human nature, and like
a faithful mirror, reflects to our view
the express image of the human heart.
In all the annals of history, no man
ranks higher in point of patriotism than
Moses. Rescued uhile an outcast in
fant from impending death, by the hu
manity of Pharaoh's daughter, and a
dopted as her foft, he was educated in

family by conferring offices on his sons
and making thera his fuccefTors in the
government; but all his exertions
plainly seem to have been directed to a
single point, the good of the people.—
See now in what manner, the people re
quited this great and good man, their
benefa&or and deliverer from Slavery :
At the Red Sea they availed him with
tumultuous murmurs and even bitter
ly reproached him for leading them
out of Egypt. When they were thirs
ty, they vented the wrathful effusions
of their heart againSt Moles, as the
cause of all their calamities : when they
were hungry they begirt him around
on every fide, and dung him like a hell
of hornets. Poor Moses in deep per
plexity of heart, cried out, “,0 Lord,
what Shall I do unto these people ?—
They be almost ready to done me I" —
At length the public discontent came
to a crilis, and there arose against the
administration of Moses a rdflibn thAt
was fyltemized and very formidable.
A Seditious fellow, of the name of Ko
rah, together with other discontented
demagogues, who, as the writer re
marks, were famous id the congregation,
that is had ingratiated themselves with
the unthinking multitude,by their cun
ning intrigues and popular arts of de
ception, came boldly forward & made
this charge—" Ye take too much upon
You, feeing all the congregation are ho
ly. Wherefore lift ye up yourselves
against the congregation of the Lord !"
This flattering of the people has alwavs
been the hypocritical cant of dema
gogues : “ All the congregation arc holy.
Equality is our motto: Be it known to
you Moses, that there is rot a man in this
camp,butflands on equal ground with you ;
and therefore you are lifting up yourjeifa
bove men who are your equals." The Sil
ly people greedily drank this poisonous
cup of flattery. Korah was the patri
ot of the day, the idol of the populace.
The camp and the adjacent bildernefs
resounded with huzzas for Korah.—ln
the mean time jealousy and rage against
Moses were enkindled in the public
mind. He was deemed an usurper, an
engrosser of power, an aristocrat, a
monarchic, an enemy to the equal
rights of the people ; and, but for the
aftonilhing miracle whereby the life of
Moses was preserved, the deluded mul
titude, in their infuriate rage, might
probably have spilled the blood of that
venerable patriot,arid even might have
carried about in triumph the dissevered
and mangled parts of his body upon
pikes. HISTORICUS.
I LAT TERY is the ladder by which
ambitious men climb to power In 1
royal government they fawn around the
prince and slitter all his whims and
foibles ;.in a democratic republican
government, they bestow the fame ful
fome flattery upon the people.
The maxim of courtier; is, ic the king
can do no wrong ;"—and it is the mat
im of demagogues, that "the people
can do no Wrong." — Ihey ascribe to
the people ri fort of divine rectitude &
infallibility. “ Vox populi est vox Dei,"
has been in the mouth of almost every
popular office hunter, who couid Imat
ter Latin ; or in Englilh; the blafphcm
ous adage is this, “ the voice of the
people is the voice of God;" Now this
is the mere cant of political hypocrites
who are seeking by it their own ad
vancement.—While kings ought to be
told that they are extremely liable to
do wrong, the fame wholesome truth
should be inculcated on the people,
when they are the fountain of power.
Ihe tieful pages of hittory inform
us that the people, deceived by mif
repreferitation andfalfehood, have fome^
times millook their friends for their
foes, and while they cherished and hon
ored those artful men, who to answer
their own vile ends, flattered them;
they, in the mean time, discarded, and
in some instances, destroyed their test
benefactors.
