Had he Succeeded, Mr. Jefferfon
would have come forth as gold tried in
the furnace, with full weight, and ad
ditional splendor.
Had he failed, others might have
undertaken the Herculean talk. But
what has been your course ? You come
forth as the feif-created redoubtable
Champion of Dagon, yet leave him to.
totter before the ark of truth. To
drop metaphor. You dub your hero
the greatest and left of men, but do not
attempt to invalidate a tittle of the ev
idence produced against him. By your
Blence you confirm, you confefs the
truth of every charge. What a wretch
ed advocate are you ? The bitterest
enemy to your best friend ! What man
in his senses would not prefer your a
vowed enmity to your active friend
fhip ? But though you thus fhamefully
abandon your client, you are so fond
of your own eternal prattle which has
often thrown meek patience herfelf
into a swoon, that you mutt fay feme
thing. And what is it? For want of
truth, or argument, not content with
“ calling evil good, and good evil"
you pour forth from your malignant,
envenomed heart a torrent of abuse on
the generous affertors of the Constitu
tion, the sworn foes to Jaeobinifm and
anarchy, and the only real friends to
order and good government.
Your empty menaces are as con
temptible a$ he that utters them.—
There is fometbing formidable, even to
those in perfeft security, in the roar of a
lion ; but who, except a dastard or a
fool, does not despise the squeaking of
a rut ?
bilious of imitating you in any thing,
that though he cannot help thoroughly
despising you, he owes you no ill will,
and though he despairs of your reform
- ation, he would do you all the good in
his power ; and as a proof of his sincer
ity, he advises you, for your own lake,
and the fake of Jacobinifm itfelf, which
are both contemptible enough without
your rendering them more so, to lay
down the pen, and expose yourfelf no
more to the public.—But confine your
^rhetoric flourishes to your own circle,
and let them enjoy the exclusive privi
lece to listen " and wonder with a fool

WHEN I published my remarks
relative to Mr. Jefferfon in the lull
Saturday's Oracle, signed A Citizen
of the United States, it was not with
a view to wound the virtuous sensibili
ty of any one. Yours I certainly could
not mean to wound, as I never had the
flighted fufpicior. that you possessed a
spark. 1 hat I should excite the hat
red and rage of the enemies of truth
and virtue, I thought probable enough.
But that was neither my motive, nor
concern. I had a far higher and nob
ler aim. Convinced as I then Was,
and ftih am, that Mr. Jefferfort had in
several instances flagrantly departed
trom his duty, and violated the Con
dilution, I thought proper to point out
some of the instances, and fugged the
only conflitutional remedy ; to wit,
impeachment. The charges I adduc
ed against him were not the offspring
of a fertile imagination, or a depraved
and malignant heart. They were
grounded on evidence, chiefly produc
ed by himfelf, to which alone the pub
lic were referred. His inaugural
fpeecb, his address to the merchants of
New-Haven, his removals from office,
his new appointments, and his conduct
towards Governor Sargent, were all
the facts I alluded to, for these were
all which had come to my knowledge.
With these fads thouffinds were as well
acquainted as myfelf. But as I viewed
them to be of the highest importance,
I wiihed them universally known and
felt. Had any friend of Mr. Jefferfon's
modestly, or boldly, flood forth, and
attempted to juftify his conduct, and
reconcile all his apparent inconsisten
cies, the public would have judged for
themselves of his success.

A Writer in the lad Republican
Ledger who stiles himfelf A Friend to

inexperience, folly, and guilt : and rec
ommends a little school discipline, as a
corrective for the pad, and preventive
for the future. Our answer is, that he
is right, We are inexperienced in the
school of French Philosophy, have
been so foolish as always to have played
the truant, and so fhockinglygu/7/,, as
to wish the institution annihilated.
As these are the crimes for which we
are threatened with the rod of correc
tion, we boldly call on this notable
Writer to exercise it, and make full
trial of our youth and inexperience, on

Died at Kennebunk very suddenly the Rev,
DANIEL LITTLE, in the 78 year of his age,
and the 51 of his ministry ; the duties of which
he fulfilled with diligence and faithfulnefs ;
commending himfelf to the confidences, the es
teem, and affections of his people. His public
ministrations were serious, evangelical and prac
tical. —He had an excellent talent to insinuate
pious inftrudions in his more private conferen
ces, in an impressive and engaging manner; and
no small part of his time was spent in pastoral
visits, teaching from house to house. In his pri
vate connexions he was all that could be wish
ed for in a husband, a parent, a head of a fami
ly ; and he was happily formed to entertain and
enjoy his numerous friends and acquaintance,
his mind being furnifhed with a very considera
ble fund ofufeful and entertaining knowledge,
which he was ever ready to communicate in an
easy and lively way and with an engaging ur
banity of manners —ln an advanced period of
his life, his concern for the infant settlements
prompted him repeatedly to undertake the fa
tigueing service of travelling hunderds of miles
to visit them, to preach & administer gospel or
dinances to the poor, and distribute religious
books among them, and his name and memory
is precious with those who have been thus fa
voured with these labours of his love. Os late
be had been in a great measure taken off from
his public labours by the infirmities of age:
but continued by paftbral visits as his health
would allow, to fulfil the ministry he received,
of the Lord—And the day before his death was
spent in attending public worship and visiting
the sick. Blessed is that servant whom his Lord
when he cometh Ihail find so doing.

loss of an only son ; an affectionate father la

and a beloved Sifter mourns the beloved object
of her tenderest regards. To these kindred

The town of Boulogne was besieged
in 1544, by King Henry VIII. and
Surrendered on the 14th of September.
If we are to believe the histories orally
communicated by the Wardens of the
Tower, it should seem that guns with
out any report whatever, had the me
rit of that event ; for the wooden cannon
which they ' shew was, as they fay, one
of several which King Henry had
drawn up in fight of the town, where
the marshiness of the ground obdruft
ed the advance of his heavy artillery.
Alarmed at the appearance of so pow
erful a battering train, the Governor,
they fay, surrendered.—The truth is,
that the place was bravely defended
until the death of the Lieut. Governor
Phillip Corfe, who was killed ; and
then surrendered by the cowardice of the
Governor Vernin, who was afterwards
beheaded,for his mifeondudt. It was the
taking of this town that gave its origin
to the sign of the Boulogne Mouth, or
mouth of Boulogne-harbor, which now
gives the name of the Bull and Mouth
to the Inn, on which it was originally
placed,and to the street it Hands in.
