Let us attend for a moment to the Specie; of
conduct imputed to Mr. Rutledge in this affair.
To entice the President to fall into the snare
thus artfully and wickedly spread for him, Mr.
Rudedge is foppofed to have set down and fab
ricated letters to him, in the name of a man, of
whom, it was next to a certainty, that Mr. Jef
ferfon had never in bis life once heard ; a French
man, ignorant of Engiifn, by occupation an infe
rior mechanic^ nd a very obfeure person. The
composition of the letters themselves too, both
at tp matter and £yle, is' ridiculous and con
temptible," as Mr. Rutledge observes in his an
' fiver, and as we are credibly afyred b, those
who have read them.
Such are the letters which are supposed by
Mr, Rutledge to have a decisive influence with
the President of the United States to induce him
to commit himfelf, without further enquiry, in
some very important ads of his administration.
choice, either to support the charge in this way,
or to abandon it altogether.
Let us now look cursorily at the teflimony of
the fame kind produced on the part of Mr. Rut

a roan whofc profefled business it is to become
accurately acquainted with every species of hand
writing, and whois in the daily habit of com
paring different forts together, with a view to
' prevent or detect forgeries; Mr. Seixas, after
an examination, declares, under oath, that, “ the
letters were not written by Mr. Rutledge, but
were an unfuccefsful attempt to imitate his hand
writing." Next appear the depositions of eight
different gentlemen, all acquainted with the
hand-writing of Mr. Rutledge, who swear that
the Geffroy letters do not in the written char

Let me afle every reader of common sense, if
the case itfelf, on the bare Statement of it, is not
a complete felo def# ? Does it not suppose that
both Mr. Rutledge and Mr Jefferfon are but
one degree removed from the most egregious
folly ? And yet an impudence has been found
hardy enough to circulate the talf, arid incredible
as it may appear, has sometimes met with a cre
dulity Rapid enough to receive it. ^ut I shall
not hefcate to declare, that it has not and can
never pass as even plausible, but with a down
right knave or fool. Since however, a degree
of knavery has appeared fufficient to attempt to
give it a currency, we will lay aside for the pre
ftnt, the felf-refaction it brings with it, and sup
posing it to carry nothing absolutely improbable
on the face of it, examine the manner in which
it has been supported.
<Though a case of a criminal nature in which
the fort of evidence, afforded by a comparison
of hand-writing, has for more than a century
been exploded, yet let us allow our opponents all
the advantage of this species of testimony, aided
by such circumstantial proofs as they have chosen
to add. We desire no other opportunity than to
Shew their condemnation from their own mouths.
First. They placed their case entirely and ex
clusively on the Gmilitude of hand-writing The
letters were exhibited for infpeaion at the print
ing-office, and those inclined to Support the
charge were ready to declare that they suppos
ed, thought, imagined, were compelled to think,
had little doubts, and some that they believed
the hand-writing resembled Mr. Rutledge's, al
though disguised in an artful manner. Not one
of them pretended that they ever corresponded
with Mr. Rutledge, or ever saw him write, or

ing, but a certain letter of his hand-writing be
fog exhibited trfthem and viewed by them in
cbmparifon with the letters, they expressed the
unfavorable impressions they deceived from the

of hit eyefight,or to the Sanguine or phltymatic
temperament of bis constitution, of his zeal in
the good cause of democracy.' The extracts

From the N. T. EVENING POST.
Case of Mr. Rutledge, (Concluded. )
WE have arrived at the concluding paper !
on this fubje&, and shall endeavor to|
compress our observations into as narrow a com-|
pafe as possible. Haying learnt frem a gentle
man now in town, who was at Newport during |
the period of the attack on Mr. Rutledge, that }
the forged Geffroy letters, were /a^uaHy publish
ed in the democratic paper there, of which cir
cumstance we were before ignorant, we have
taken every means to procure the Newport Re
publican paper containing them, but without
success. Those letters themselves, if we are
'rightly informed, would fumilh additional evi
dence to repel the charge, if additional evidence
can by any one, he desired. They are promised
us by an early post, but without waiting for
them, wefhdl here finifh our remarks.
Mr. John Rutledge, member of Cobgrefs from
South Carolina, and certainly one of the most
refpcdable men in the United States in both bis
private aiCT public character, is charged by his
political enemies with a mean and difgraceful ac
tion,originating from motives the most malicious
and dishonorable. It is publicly alledged against
him, that he has been guilt, of an attempt to
mislead the FreGdent of the United States in the
cxcreife of his executive functions, by seducing
and betraying him to adopt certain ill-judged,
& ill-adyifed, and palpably improper and unjust
conduct with regard to the public offices and
officers in the State of Rhode Inland, the result
of which would be the important lqfs of the
rate knowledge of his hand-writing: One of
these gentlemen, Mr. Read, declares, " he doth
not believe the letters Shewn him,figged Geffroy,
are of the hand-writing of Mr. Rutledge ;" the
other, Mr. Russell, swears that the letters in
question are by no means a good imitation of the
letter Shewn at the printing-office, and are very
dissimilar to Mr. Rutledge $ general manner of writ
ing." Thus far as to the eircumftantial evidence
arising from infection.
Supposing the persons produced on both Sides
to stand equal in point of character, which is an
immense concession we then bn the one hand
find a number of petfons, giving an opinion on
the instant, suggested by a comparison of the
forged letters, with a fiogle one of Mr. R's there
produced ; on the other, in addition to the o
pinioo of a profeffional man, we have the un
qualified declarations of four gentlemen who
were the correspondents of Mr. g. four more
who were well acquainted with his hand writ
ing, & two who have known him from early
life ; all these, after a careful infpedtion, join to
deciare, without scruple or hesitation that the
forged letters are not hi, hand-writing. If the
evidence closed here, no refpedable jury, we be
lieve, could be found who would give their yer
did against the person accused. This, however,
is nt best but circumstantial evidence on both
sides, and liable to be out- weighed by any direct
and poficive testimony without regard to num
bers. We have then the testimony of Mr-Rut
ledge himfelf, who has solemnly sworn that "the
letters exhibited at Mr. Farnfworth's office,
Signed " Nicholas Geffroy and Nics Geffroy"
were not written by him, nor had he any knowl
edge of them before reading them in the Rhede-
Igand Republican." Now as opposed to this,
if every individual in the State of Rhode-Ifland
Should swear they believed, on infpedion, that
the Geffroy letters were written by Mr. Rut
ledge,they would not excite a momentary sus
picion in the mind of any man acquainted with
that gentleman. But we are not done with the
evidence on the part of the calumniators.
During all this bustle, and for more than three
weeks after the firft attack, more than a fort
night after the testimony produced on the part
of Mr. Rutledge, end some days after the dem
ocrats themfelvcs had muttered every mao of
fufficient zeal to repair to the printing-office
and deposit his oath, the pott-mafter and his ton
remained foug at home, and let the battle rage
without their aid. At laQ an appe, is made
dire&ly to them by Mr. Rutledge himfelf, in
his second letter ;"he informed the public that
these were the men to be applied to for further
information. And does not eyery man fee that
Mr. Rutledge would be the very last person to
fugged thi, application, if he was confeious that
these men op either of them possessed any fads
of an unfavorable complexion ? He fearlefsly
makes the appeal, &it was no: to be trifled with.
Now then comes the confirmatory testimony
First. Old Richardson swears roundly and
politively, that a letter was brought to his Office
on or about the 2d of August, ißox, by a girl
vbo said jbe lived with Mr. Rutledge, which letter
he sent to'the President ; and which letter ap
peared co him to be in the band.writing of Mr.
Rutledge, though disguised; and that on or about
the 7th of said Auguit, another letter written
in the fame disguised hand, and directed to the
President of the United States, was banded by the
girl who brought the other ; that these letters
were written byJohn Rutledge he was convinced."
Then comes young Richardson in aid of his fa
ther ; he swears that he examined the letters
mentioned in the affidavit of his father, after
their reception in the pofi-ofre, and before they were
put into the mail, and that they appeared to him
to be in the hand-writing of John Rutledge,
Member of Congress, though disguised; the letters
•were banded by Mr. Ratledge's girl.
Here then we have all the additional confirm
atory teflimony which they have pretended to
produce. But, if we recoiled right, Mr. Kin
loch swears that old R 1 hardfon, on the doth
of September, conferfed^o Mr. Rutledge him
felf, that " be did not know who brought the letters
here he swears it was Mr. Rutledge'sgirl, or at
least a girl who said ike-lived with Mr. R. and
in Mr. Kinloch's fecohd deposition, it appears
that young Richardson, after fame hesitation to
be sure, said be knew the girl very well, and de
ferred her person, a little white girl IL or X 2
years old, making it to referable a little girl by
the name of Polly Olborse, who did actually
live with Mr. Rutledge near the proper time,
'and as he then supposed, at the very period, but
which afterwards, he found to be a miftaka ;—
while, however, he thought the time would an
swer, he knew th girl very well, and even went
the length of agreeing to identify her. Young
Richardson then told Mr. Kinloch, this girl de
livered one of the letters co an individual of the
family (neither his father nor himfclf) in
bis preface, yet father and son swear to the
delivery of both letters. The question here oc
curs, who is this individual ? Is he present or
absent ? Does he remember or forget the cir
camftancc ? But old Richardson, as well as the
young one, knew the letters to be Mr. R's by
the similitude of the superscriptions to his ordi
nary hand-writing, though difeuifed. What ?
knew this at the time, and soon difeovered from
the answer re delivered them by G.ffroy, fee
an impofitiou had been pradifed on the Ptefi
dent, and yet neither they, nor Ellery, nor Mr.
jefferfon to fay one word about the matter for
more than a year 1 This is a very likely story
on the face of it.
fomong other marks mentioned by our law
writers on evidence as affording reasons ,o dif
beb'evc a witnels, bne is'a confufed hesitating
manner, and a burdening the relation with a
multitude of trifling, irrelative, or unnecessary
circumstances. Here we fee young Richardson
Solemnly swearing that he examined the Geffroy
letters, and that this examination took place
“ after their reception in the pop-office, (as if it could
have been done before,) “ and before they were
put into the mail, (as if it could have been done
afterwards,) and that they appeared to be the
hand-writing of Mr. Rutledge. But every one
ff^^w^^ Affl^v^^l -3wwl%%a
fays the writing was difoifed, an unfuccefifil at
tempt ro imitate, and one of them, Mr. Lown
des fays that one of the fup^fcriptions, the one
he saw, was “ not only in a ,le of writing unlike
Mr. Rutledge's, but superior to what be ever wrote."
A man may indeed possibly imitate a hand infe
rior co his own, but it is nothing Short of a physi
cal impossibility that he Should forged hand
belter than he ever wrote+
As to the delivery of the letters, it may be re
plied ; firft, they have failed to comply with
their own pledge to produce the little white girl
who brought them, and whom young Richard
son acknowledged to Mr. Kinloch be knew well.
But it appears from the deposition of Rhody
Chappel that from the middle of July to the
end of three weeks, (including therefore the time
of the delivery of both letters) no young woman
or white girl whatever lived in Mr. Rutledge's
family ; it appears from the affidavit of Betsy
Chapman that (he went to the house as a maid
servant the lafl of August, but never carried any
letters to the poft-office ; and it appears fr„m
the affidavit of William Moore, jun. that Polly
Qfborne had lived there only a fortnight when
She gave place *to Eetfy Chapman, making the
time of her firft going there to have been about
the middle of August, and after the 7th ; so that
the little white girl entirely fails them.
Again, they have failed to produce the indi
vidual who received the letters or one of them.
In these two important particulars, they have
been unable or omitted the heft evidence the nature
of the case will admit of, and have offered no fatitfac
tery reason for the omiffionby every rule of weigh
ing testimony therefore the prefuroption is en
tirely against them
The affidavit of Mr. Moore suggests much
to the intelligent reader. The little girl, Polly
Osborne, who by the way is, it feeing, "the
daughter of a billiard-table marker for one of
Ellery's confidents ;" this little girl told Mr.
Moore " She would not fay She ever carried any
letters to the poft-office for Mr. Rutledge, if all
the town nuifbed her to." how extremely fignifi
cent are these underscored words? "Being aSked

her that a great fun of money was offered to the girl
who would faxfoe carried the letters, and that Joe was
the girl who had carried them She fcen?e) dart
led, and said byway of qualifying, that what She
bad said, was that her father told her foe might get
fometbing bandfome if foe said Jhe carried the letters,
and She might get herfelf into difficulty." Chil
dren and fools tell the tkuth. There can be no
doubt chat attempts were made co corrupt this
little girl . What eye docs not turn abhorrent
from the fight of a parent tampering with the
morals of his own child ? The timid or the vir
tuous disposition of the daughter herfelf, er per
haps the teflons of a pious mother, caused her to
recoil from the part She had been feledcd co aft,
and She declared She never carried an, letters while
at Mr. Rutledge's to an, person or place, of which
young Richardson having been informed the
evening previous to his third interview with Mr-
Kinloch, drew back from his own offers, and
declared, meanly, basely declared be wouldfay no
more on the fubjefl. Thus the devil has led theft;
wicked people into the snare he laid for them,
and then left them completely in the lurch. In
an unguarded, evil moment, they have so far
forgot themselves as to name the individual who
delivered, and the individual who received the
letters. Now let them produce them or cither
of them. Where are they Q
Most of the reader, of this article will be ready
to fay, why has not Mr. Rutledge appealed to
the laws of the country, and infticuted a Suit a
gainst the publisher for a libel ? Alas ! the peo
ple in the different States in the Union little
know the fort of justice to be expected from a
Rhode-Ifland Court of law. No man who has
not read the report of the trial of Judge Dor
rance against Governor Fenner, for Bander, last
December,can have any possible idea of the man
ner in which justice and decency may be out
raged, 1 was about to fay under color of law,
but the more correct expregion is, in defiap ,
of law, and even its forms. Mr. Rutk-ge,
therefore, has been advised by all his friends, to
refrain from appealing to the laws of a commu
nity which openly laughs the law to fcorn,and
whose only object would be to quicken the fenfc
of injury, by adding the most cruel iofult.
Notwithstanding the length to which this ar
ticle has extended, we are persuaded it would be
unfatisfadory, did we not add a few words by
way of fuggetting some kind of opinion as to the
real origin of this Singular affair. The conjec
ture which we have formed on the whole mat
ter is, that some person at Newport, in August
1801, with a view of sporting with the credulity
of Mr. Jefferfon, that is, in the common cant of
the day, quizzing him, wrote him the letters ip
question. It is certainly not a little remarkable
that Mr Jefferfon Should have answered so foojifh
a letter at all, and it is unaccountable that lie
foould tell the poor Frenchman that he had made
him pay the postage to avoid suspicion. " Ido not
frank ibis letter to avoid fufpicionF Strange ! Os
whom could he have suspicion I The poft-maf
&er at Washington, or the post-matter at New
port, both good democratic friends ? Something
of this fort appears in one of his letters to Cal
lender; it is probably only a lyre for affection,
it looks so like confidence reposed. These letters
were returned to Mr. Jefferfon by Ellery, and
Mr. J. has probably had them in his possession
for nearly a year. I with to know whether,dur
ing all this time, Mr. Jefferfon or Ellery have
mentioned the fubjed to Mr. Rutledge ? It
would he curious too to difeover when the idea
firft suggested itfclf to these persons, to endeav
our to fix the imputation of forgery on Mr. Rut
ledge. That Mr. Jefferfon must have aided and
ibetted, if he did not originally suggest the
scheme, is evident to every person of the least
reflection. He it was who delivered Ellery the
Geffroy letters,for none clfe could ; and he it was
probably, who originated the infernal Stratagem
to ruin hit political opponent Mr. Rutledge.—
Here we at present flop, our limits compel us.
Possibly at some future day the fubjed may be
refurced with advinta^c.'
So far as refpeds myfelf I have rea
son to believe and a right to fay, that
the leaders of the reign of terror in A
merica, and the leaders of the reign of
terror in France, during the time of
Robefpicrre, wpre in chara^er the fame
fort of men, or how is it to be accounted
for, that I was persecuted by both at the
fame time. -When I was voted out of
the French Convention the reason rf
figned for it was, that I was a foreigner.>
When Rpbefpierre had me seized in the
night & imprisoned in the Luxemburg
(where I remained eleven months) he
aligned no reason for it. But when he
proposed bringing me to the tribunal,
which was like fending me at once to
the fcaffold, he then assigned a reason,
and the reason was "for the interest of A
merica as rose 11 as of Fiance." — Pour
I'interet de I'Amerique autant que de la
France. The words are in his own hand
writing and reported to the Convention
by the committee appointed to examine
his papers, and are printed in their re
port with this reflexion added to them,
" Why Thomas Paine more than another ?
because he contributed to the liberty of both
woorlds."
I'he reign of terror that raged in
America during the latter time of the
Washington Administration, and the
whole of that of Adams,is enveloped in
mydery to me. — That there were men
in the government hostile to the repre
sentative system, though it is now their
overthrow, was once their baaff, and
therefore the fad is eftabiiShed against
them. But that so large amass of the
people Should become the dupes of those
who were loading them with taxes, in
order to load them wfH chains and de
prive them of the right of election, can
be ascribed only to that Species of wild
fire rage, lighted up by falfehood, that
not only a&s without reflection, but is
too impetuous to make any.
There is a general and Striking dis
ference between the genuine effects of
truth itfelf, and the effects of falfehood
believed to be truth. Truth is natural
ly benign ; but falsehood believed to be
truth is always furious. The formet
delights in serenity, is mild and perfua
five, and seeks not the auxiliary aid o
invention. The latter Sticks at nothing.
It has naturally no morals. Every lie
is welcome that Suits its purpose. It is
the innate character of the thing toad in
this manner, and the criterion by which
it may be known whether in politics or
religion. When any thing is attempt
ed to be supported by lying, it is pre
sumptive evidence that the thing so Sup
ported is a lie also. The stock on which
a lie can be engrafted must be of the
fame species as the graft.
What is become of the mighty clam
our about French invasions, and the cry
that our country is in danger and taxes
and armies mull be railed to defend it ?
The danger is fled with the fadion that
created it, and what is word of all the
money is fled too. It is I only that
have committed the hostility of inva
sion, and all the artillery of pop-guns
are prepared for action. Poor felloes,
how they foam! They set half their
own partizans in laughter ; for among
ridiculous things, nothing is more
ridiculous than ridiculous rage. But [
hope they will not leave off. I Shall
lose half my greatness when they cease
to lie.
There must have been a coalition in
fentiment,if not in fad, between the ter
rorists of America and the terrorists of
France, & Robefpiere must have known
it, or he could not bare had the idea of
