<7°OUR imagination,"Str, feeiris to
I kindle with your fnbjeft, and the
farther you advance the less your dis
cretion appears to be under the control
of your judgment. You calculated
much, no doubt, on the fympathie^ of
thbfe whem you address ; but from the
part at which I am now arrived, I
would charitably hope that none but
an inmate of Bedlam, could receive
any fatisfadion. “ The creed of fede
ralifm with all its monarchical tenden
cies, was proclaimed to be the only
means of political salvation; and every
citizen who did not implicitly adopt it,
was exposed to persecution and pro
scription. His charter, his person
and his house, were alike doomed to in
falt and violence: and the perpetration
of the injury has been found a recoup
mendation to ministerial patronage and
fivor. The inflexible republican, ar
bitrarily excluded from the participa^
lion in the honors and emoluments of
public office, was sometimes menaced
with the ignominy of being " delivered
to an invading enemy ;" and, at other
times unfeelingly told, that "he might
exped to be ground to dust and allies by
his indignant countrymen." This hU
debus carricature,in which no undistort
ed feature can be difeovered, would
have disgraced even Cheetham or Du
ane,and in the estimation of many sober,
thinking persons, must fink you to a
level with them. When did the fede
ral government persecute and proscribe
men of opposite opinions ? The wicked
and malicious Handler was punished,
it is true ; not however by any arbitra
ry process, but by the interference of a .
Court and Jury in the usual course of
law ; if this be persecution or proscrip
tion, I confefs myfelf ignorant of the
meaning of the terms. But what could
have tempted you to exaggerate that
which was already too gross for belief?
An intemperate zeal often injures the
cause it is meant to serve ; perhaps,
however, you thought that a regard
for truth of prudence would have been
unworthy of the fervor of an election
eering address, and it must be confeffed
that you have kept at a very cautious
distance from both.
When we are told that the charac
ters, the persons and the houses, of all
who did not adopt 66 the creed of fede
ralifm," and whom you represent as a
mounting to at least one half of the citi
zens of the United States, " were alike
doomed to insult and violence," we im- 1
agine ourselves perusing a hiftory of the
civil wars of feme foreign country ;
nothing among ourselves having borne
the least resemblance to such compli
cated tyranny, we can scarcely believe
our senses when we fee the attempt
made to apply it to us. Yet have you, .
Sir, seriously endeavored to palm upon
the community this outrageous fiction,
as the sober relation of transactions,
which had actually occurred among a
,people, governed by agents of their own
choice, enjoying equal rights and equal
protection, and brought by a wife and
prudent administration of their govern
ruent, from indigence, impotence and
disgrace, to a situation flourishing and
happy almost beyond example. If one
solitary sentiment of virtue is yet per
mitted to remain in your bosom, it must
be sick of its abode, for it can find no
affwiat, in a heart capable of such dar
ing and deliberate deception- After
the lengths which the present Execu
tive has gone in removing from office,
men of acknowledged abilities and un
flained reputation, to make room for
those whose only merit lies in their pro
feffing the politics of the day, we Should
hardly expert to fee it enumerated in
the lift of grievances under the federal
administration, that “ republicans were
arbitrarily excluded from a participa
tion in the honors and emoluments of
public office." If in the existing Rate
of things, the circumstance of being a
federalist, is a Sufficient cause for dis
placing a man from an office he is eve
ry way qualified tb fill, it can scarcely
be a competent ground of complaint
that when federalist were in power,
their adversaries were not feleded as
the repositories of trust and confidence.
A very small regard therefore to con-
fiftency would seem to have required 1
I that, on this fubjed, you Should have|
;fmathered your pitiful resentments.—
! But what have you and consistency to
I do with each otlrcr ? you may indeed
j be spoken of in the fame lenience, but
; you will only be thus coupled to Shew
jhow widely in every other refped, you
are Separated.
I am not, however, under any neces
sity of confining myfelf to your incohe
rencies, to detect your violations of।
truth. lam willing to take ifTue upon I
the charge you have made ; I deny that |
republicans (as you modeSlly stile your-J
selves) were excluded from office, me
naced with ignominy, and threatened
with being ground to dust and allies.—
Under the administration of Washing
ton, men were Selected for office indis
criminately from all parties ; and un
der that of Adams, instances are fuffi
ciently within your own knowledge to
repel the unjust imputation. He not
only found men in office who were ad
verse to his measures, but he appointed
others ; and! defy you to Shew a fiagle
case where he removed a man, merely
because his political opinions were hos
tile to those pursued. As to the expres
sions which you have exhibited with
inverted commas, although they may
have been applied to a few reliefs Spir
its who richly deserved the treatment
fppken of, yet you are sensible that they
were never used in the sense you design
them to be understood, as applying to
the great body of people inimical to the
late administration.
Not even the fan&uaries of justice
have escaped your malevolent asper
sions; they too are represented as join
ed in the league to rob the poor perse
cuted democrat of " every solace of I
social and domestic life." His rights 1
were trampled upon because "every|
. minister of justice was a federalist ; the ।
officer who prosecuted ; the judge who
presided ; the marshal who furamoned
the jury, and the jury who tried the !
cause were all federalists! Nay the lawl
itfelf affirmed the form of a weapon
made for federalists only to wield ; by
whole magic, riots might be converted
into rebellion.—! can hardly Stop to be
stow uponihis passage the remarks it
suggests: scarcely can I Control the
burst of honest indignation which swells
my breast, whilst my pen traces the vile
and preposterous Slander. You might
with as much propriety have at once
converted our courts into revolutionary
tribunals, and the ministers of justice
into cannibals, feafting upon the quiv
ering limbs of their mangled victims ; -
thepidure would have been more Shock
ing to humanity,but it would have been
, no less destitute of truth. You know
that the characters of the men who pre
ceded you in your present Station, and
the magistrates on whom you so freely
animadvert, give the lie dired to your
censures ; you well know that their hon
or and integrity are above the mean im
pulse which you ascribe to them, and
that they were uninfluenced by any
considerations but those which their
own duty and the public peace requir
ed. Yet have you held them up to the
country in the most ignominious light ;
accused them of polluting the sacred
fountains of justice, and contaminating
the administration of the law. Charges
more heinous cannot well b^ conceived;
yet you have thought it not unworthy
of you,to fabricate and propagate them-
When you speak of riots being magi
cally converted into rebellion, your al
lusion to the case of Fries cannot be mis
taken. This man, twice convifted by
the laws of his country of treafn, under
every advantage which fair and impar
tial trials by jury could give him, and
the full benefit of your abilities as his
counsel, is now to be considered as hav
ing been guilty Simply of a riot. You,
Sir, will remember, that this was urg
ed by you on both trials, with all the
force of which you are capable, both to
the court and juries ; but as neither of
them were convinced by your logic,
you are determined to make your last
, appeal to the people themselves, by
plainly telling them that federal judges
are too unenlightened, and too corrupt
to render an obedience to their decisions
a duty. Thus among the novelties of
the age, we behold in you, Sir, the Sin
gular fpeAacle of an Attorney-General
writing libels upon the very courts of
which he is the law officer—but deco
rum as well as truth has long Since been

blotted from the lift of democratic vir
tues.
From the " painful review" of the
Federal Adminittrations, you proceed
" to a contemplation of the Scene that
now lies before you." Here you find
"ample canfe for joy & congratulation."
" Already have the public functiona
ries, faithful to rheff trull, revived the
principles of the revolution, call off the .
trappings of royalty, restored a consti
tutional equality of rights to the citi
zens, and edabliShed the impartial ad
minitti ation of jntfice." The gaping
crowd may Swallow all this and be
pleased, they may hug their imagine y
blessings and rejoice in their ideal hap
piness ; but you, Sir, laugh at their
folly, and congratulate yourfelf oh your
own Superior cunning. The " princi
ples of the revolution" revived by Jef
ferfon and Gallatin ! one of whom pre
cipitately retreated from the govern
ment of Virginia upon the approach of
.an invading army, and the other, was
at that time fighting our battles and
directing our councils at Geneva. God
help the principles of our revolution, if
such men are to be their depositories.
As to the " cast off trappings of roy
alty," it is mere cant ; it deserves noth
ing but contempt. Os " the constitu
tional equality of rights," we fee daily
evidence in the taking away of all pub
lic employments from one class, and
transferring them exclusively to the
other. And as to the adminiftratibn
ofjuttice, it remains in most particulars,
as it was long ago established, except,
indeed in the promotion of yourfelf and
some other brethren of the fame fa? to
office. How far your own appoint
ment will tend to further its impartiali
ty, we may form some estimate from
the candor you have so often difplay&j
in the address which is the Subject of
these letters. All your management,
however, Sir, will not avail you ; it
will neither save your name from being
connected with epithets which are de
grading to a gentLmo, and wounding
ter the sensibility of a man of probity;
nor will it preserve your party from
that inevitable deftßidion which awaits
their weakness and wickedness.
ANri-VALERIUS.
From the Balance.
It appears, at firft thought, very af
tonilhing that the British Island, which
is only a little Speck on the map of the
world, Should be able to display unrivall
ed power over the ocean,& to extend its
conquests to the utmost parts of the
globe ; and at the fame time remain
invincible at home. On due reflection,
however, it is evident that the insular
situation of Britain;and the Scantiness of
its territory, by which it seemed to be
marked with the original features of
imbecility,have,in fad,been theground
work of its vaff maritime Strength.—
Those islanders, having been often in
vaded by their continental neighbors,
reared a navy, at firft from the princi
ple of necessity, and merely for felf-de
fence. By reason of the narrowness of
their territory, many of them were in
duced,and eveuneceifitated to seek their
livelihood upon the water. As they had
many hands and but little land, a Simi
lar necessity Stimulated their attention
to the various branches of manufactures.
Manufactures led to foreign commerce,
and this demanded an increase of Ship
ping, as well ter guard it, as for trans
portation. At length, there was awak
ened an ambition to make foreign con
quests, and to rule the ocean . •and the
Britons have effected these objects, by
means of the advantages arising from
their insular Situation. Begirt by the
sea and surrounded with armed Ships,
they can annoy others without being
annoyed themselves. While they car
ry on war and invade nations abroad,
they are impregnable against invasion
at home.— Xenophon, who wrote at a
time when the island of Britain was in
habited by naked Savages, and long be
fore it was known to the then civilized
parts of the world, has described its
Situation, and the advantages refuting
from it, with remarkable exactness, in
his remarks upon Athens.
" ArKns, far X :%hor, ruhthe sea; but
as the c< e^tiy of arena ixjoined to the corai
oent, it is ravaged by cucuiics, while the Ache-,
niana are engaged in dmant* expedition#. If
the Athenians,continued this arcient writer,in
habited an island and betide, this enjoyed the
empire of the sea, they would, as long as they
were poff-ffido f those advantages, he able to
annoy others, and at the fame time be out of
all danger of being annoyed themselves."
