XVhen those editors Who havr de
voted their prefer to an indifeximinate
and unrelenting abuse <Tevery measure
of the Federal adminiflatino „i le in
power, and who have luice prefevered
in one continued attempt to redder the
memory of that administration odious,
launch out into npore than ordinary in
vedive, fenlible and confederate men
confider it only as the bolder railings
of the mere hirelings of faction. Mis
representation and slander, in their
worst forms, are to be expected from
such instruments ; it would be impossi
ble for them to labour in cheir voca
tions without torturing truth, or to ac
complish their schemes of delusion with
out the employment of calumny. But
when a man, who holds an elevated
rank in life, whose profeffional abilities
entitle him to refped,and whose official
Nation gives him a claim to the atten
tion of his fellow-citizens,enters into the
political ftrifes which divide the com
munity, and becomes the champion of
a party, we exped from him, at leaft,a
fair and manly vindication of the opin
ions he espouses, and a rational and
candid opposition to those, against
which he contends ; from him we have
a right to look for that conduct only,
which an honourable man would a
dopt. Judge then, Sir, with what feel
ings of furprize and mortification I ob
served your name annexed to the ad
dress of an electioneering committee
" To the Republicans of Pennsylvania;"
an address which is fraught with a viru
lence against the late Federal adminis
tration, and every individual attached
to it, that would disgrace the meanest
minion of democracy. This is not
vague affection : proofs shall be exhi
bited.
You begin by informing your party
that " the rights and interests of the
State, the prosperity of the confedera
tion, and perhaps the exigence of a
free government, depend on the fuccefs
ful issue of their exertions." And do
you really think, Mr. Dallas, that such
important confequentes are depending
upon the result of the Pennsylvania e
ledion ? Do you believethat " the ex
istence of a free government" is in dan
ger, if your opponents fbould succeed ?
It is morally impossible Sir, that you
can be sincere in these declarations. —
The private worth, and the public in
tegrity of those men whom the federa
lilts have heretofore chosen to preside
over the affairs of our country, must
be too well krtown to you, to admit of
your harbouring such base opinions of
their designs. You know, full well,
that the persons whom you accuse of
such traiterous views, were among the
earliest aflerters of American Indepen
dence, and have by a long course of pa
triotic services given abundant evidence
of their attachment to the cause of lib
erty.
The system of Federalism was begun
by the illustrious Washington ; the
principles of his administration formed
the Standard for his successor ; and it
must be a high consolation to him to
refled, that the great and leading mea
sures adopted under his presidency, re
ceived the unequivocal approbation of
him who will ever live in the grateful
hearts of his affectionate countrymen.
Unless then Washington was a hypo
crite and a traitor, "the exigence
of a free government" cannot be put
in jeopardy by the triumph of the Fed
eralists over your party.
Did not Washington, for eight years,
preside over our government, through
a period of experiment and difficulty?
And who were the supporters of his
administration ? Was it those who now
arrogate to themselves the title of Re
publicans, or those whom you are
pleased to upbraid as hostile to free
dom ? And who were the supporters of
the administration of Adams ? Were
they not the friends and admirers of
Washington. Did not Washington him
felf bear ample and honorable teftimo
to the leading measures of Mr. Adams ?
" Believe me, Sir, (fays he, in a letter
addressed to him) no one can mors
CORDIALLY APPR9YE OF THE WISE AND
PRUDENT MEASURES OF YOUR ADMIN
ISTRATION. They ought to inspire
Political.
UNIVERSAL CONFIDENCE," XC. How
then can you Sir, reconcile with a re
gard to truth the endeavour to impress
a belief upon those who thill read your
address, that the followers of Washing
ton, the admirers of his principles, the
guardians of his honor and his fame,
are a band of daring conspirators ? Men
who look upon the liberties of their
country with malignant afped, deter
mined now to deprive it of that very
prosperity which is the result of their
own plans and their own labors ?
If the tendency of federal measures
had been so alarming as you reprefmt,
how has it happened that even Presi
dent Jefferfon himfelf, when he firit
came to the government, openly, fully
and readily admitted that he found it in
the “ full tide of fuccefsful experi
ment ?" This is an authority which you
will certainly not question, and I leave
it for you to explain, how far his ad
mission can be reconciled with your
declaration, that " the affairs of Ameri
ca had attained a crisis, which involved
the direct alternative either that the
power of the federal party must be ar
refled,or that oar republican fyflems mould
be overthrown.” If the measures of the
federalifts tended to such mighty ruin,
it is extremely astonishing that it should
have escaped the sharp sighted vigilance
of him, whom your party, have digni
fied with the appellation of the MAN OF
the people. Instead of felicitating
his fellow-citizens on having arrested
the power of the federal part, ; instead of
congratulating them on their escape
from the deftrudion of our republican
systems by that party ; he explicitly de
clared that the government in their
hands, “ had so far kept us firm and
free." And while the community
recollects all this and much mdre, how
do you expert to escape the reproach of
being marked to the world, as an in
flamatory demagogue, endeavouring
to stir up passions and prejudices by
surmises which you know to be unfound
ed, and by affections which you know'
to be untrue ; You have revived the
stale cry of liberty in danger, and con
jured up anew the phantom of monar
chy, to frighten the honest and unin
formed part of the people into the be
lief, that nothing but the diadem and
tiara can fatisfy the views of the feder
alifts, whilst at the fame time you are
confeious that these efforts are a mock
ery of the understanding, and only de
signed to fubferve the interests of a fac
tion at the expence of truth. But rely
upon it, Sir, that sooner or later, the
paltry artifiices by which you and your
confederates endeavour to depress your
opponents and exalt yourselves, will re
coil 'upon your own heads. The time
is approaching, when the people will re
store their confidence to those who nev
er deceived them, who railed the nation
to prosperity and refpedability, and to
whose talents and integrity alone,it must
eventually owe its salvation.
ANTI-VALERIUS.
You next proceed to depia the con
dition of the country under the Federal
Administrations. That you may have
no occasion to complain of unfairnefs,
I shall tranferibe the passage itfclf.—
" By a progress at once insidious and
daring, the principles and monuments
of the revolution had been exposed to
derision ; the character and conduct
of the revolutionary leaders had been
reviled : the theory of a republican
government, was denounced as a vision
ary and equivocal speculation ; every
plausible expedient had been tried to
fetter and control the legislative author
ity, emanating immediately from the
people ; and all the instruments of
Monarchy, the influence of patronage,
and the glitter of parade were employ
ed to Lengthen and adorn the fceptre
of the Executive." Really, Sir, your
feelings must have been wound up to an
uncommon pitch of frenzy, before you
drew this sketch, and sent it into the
world with your name annexed as a
pledge for its fidelity. I scarcely know
which mod to admire, the playfulnefs
of your fancy or th^ boldness of your
effrontery. When and where and how
have the principles and monuments of
the revolution been exposed to derision
by the Federal government, or by any
set of men called Federalists ? Be pleas
ed to defeend from the generality of
your accusation, and pejnt out some

Advertiser.
®K€l€, anti
particulars on which it rests. If any
there are, they must be confined to your
own knowledge, they have not yet been
made public, and you would certainly
do an acceptable service to your party,
by an early and full disclosure of them.
Until you ihal! perform this duty you
will permit me to believe and to fay,
that the charge is entirely without
foundation, and that you have know
ingly uttered that from which malice
itfelf must withhold its credulity. But
“ the character and condud of the rev
olutionary leaders had been reviled ;"
and pray Sir, by whom ? Can it be
poftible that you expert to gain credit
when you ascribe such conduft to the
party lately in power ? Are the under-
Landings of the "Pennsylvania Repub*
licans" so miserably weak ; their means
of information, so scanty and defective
as to jollify such an unveiled attempt
to impose upon them ? You Sir, are
better acquainted with them than I can
pretend to be ; you have no doubt
itadied their Zharafters id order to as
certain how far their simplicity is capa
ble of millaking the appearance of hon
esty for the reality, how far declama
tion will pass for argument, or slander
be considered as truth. And you must
have presumed not a little upon your
proficiency in this kind of knowledge,
before you ventured upon this part of
your address.
It cannot escape the observation of
the indolent, or the recollection of the
forgetful, that the most diilinguilhed
men in-the country, to whose services
in the cabinet or in the field America is
indebted for her independence, have
been the constant objects of inventive as
well as derision from the party, and
that party alone, Sir, to which you
yourfelf belong. This country boasts
not a man of more inflexible integrity,
purer views, or more Sterling patriotifin
than Mr. Jay; on him Democracy has
spent all its fury : Os Mr. Adams eve
ry thing was laid to render odious his
public character, and to rob him even
of private virtue : On Gen. Hamilton
the whole vocabulary of reproachful
epithets has been exhausted. I might
extend this lift to an indefinite length ;
the mention of another name however
shall fuffice. The powers of memory
must be destroyed before we can Ihuc
out the painful recollection, that even
the fair fame of the good and paternal
Washington, has been assailed by the
foul hands of democracy ; the presses
engaged in what is sometimes termed
the republican cause, have charged him
with legalizing corruption, and accused
him of being a murderer. Mr. Jeffer
fon himfelf rewarded with money the
mercenary who proclaimed him a rob
ber, and a traitor ; and Mr. Jefferfon
has condescended to a friendly corres
pondence with Tom Paine, invited
him to this country, offered him a pas
sage at the expence of government in a
national (hip, and made explicit profel
fions to him of his "high regard and
affectionate attachment.'' All this Mr.
Jefferfon can do, nay has done to the
vile mifereant who charged General
Washington with " cold and un
military conduct, with doing nothing
during the war, but Keeping away his
time in the field; with being the patron
of fraud committed upon his army ;"
who declared his administration to have
been “ dccitful if not perfidious, and
himfelf destitute of moral principles,
guilty of ingratitude and falfehood,
treacherous in private friendihip, and a
hypocrite in public life." And these
are what Mr. Jefferfon is not alhamed
to call ufeful labors, although eighteen
months are hardly paft,fince he delared
that he whose fame is thus dtfpoiled by
this unprincipled ruffian, was our firft
and greats revolutionary character, and
entitled to the fairfl page in hiftory. With
what face then do you pretend to al
ledge that the “character ™id conduct
of the revolutionary leaders ; been re
viled by the federal party I bluih
for you when I add, yo” 11 know
that directly the reverse ul - truth :
And Icall upon you to give oven color
to this aifertion by producing in your
fopport one folita, y proof.
The remainder of the paragraph which
I have quoted above is w'ell suited to
the context. The whole is the pro
dud of a disordered intellect and a ma
lignant heart. A Granger to our coun
try on reading it Would suppose that re
publicanism had been scouted from the
land by our Federal rulers, that 3 ?J ,
