POPULAR leaders and teachers,
who undertake by public addresses
to. inftruft their fello v-citizens in their'
rights, their duty,&theirintereft,are, with
their works, an objed of just animad
version. An individual of some promi
nence of character, who not long since
fought this office of a public adviser,
has been a fubje& of pointed and cauf*
tie expofure.' < We deemed Ourselves
just in ' pointing'out his inconsistency,
and his Sacrifice both of ^uth and man
ners in obedience ' to the vulgar de
mands of the weak and wicked inen,
who pofl^lTed the Itrength and govern
ment ofhis party. We wished to put
the thing fairly to the test, and to alk
our fellow citizens, will you have faith
in a man, who, for different purposes,
and with different views, can play the
changelin; who can solemnly and
without a scruple, avow and declare
opinions diametrically opposite upon
the fame point ? We thought it right
to exhibit to public deteltauon and con
tempt the man, who could, whiirthe
claimed to Ihew his face among men of
honor and integrity, meaniy descend to
become a commonfewer, for the free pas
sage of the filth of his pai ty. It will
begone of our last fubje&s of repentance,
that we have invadea the repose and at
tempted to Qifle the labors of a man,
who by servile fawning, cringing, and
flattery, claims the Courtesies of gentle
men, at a time when he daringly aims
a stab at the characters of men. 'whofe
worth will continue to thine during the
dark day of his destruction.
We have tbuched some other char
afters but it has been to awaken the peo
ple, to Ihew them the ghastly deformi
ties of vice in office, and to call their
attention to the principles of an admin
istration, which entrusted tSe affair's of
the government to, and bellowed its
honors upon wicked and abandoned
men. We have pointed the fingertof
scorn at impiety, adultery, and incett
in the ch&rader'cf a public 'deafer, at
profligacy and dPbauch^ry, msffices of
trulUand profit ; we hayb not foiled to
cry aloud, wherf we have seen the na
tion-degraded by its risers, bellowing;
honor, and reward upon vile wretches,
guilty of the meanest official treachery
andiof the tlackeft perjury. We have
ridiculed and laughed at the ignorance
and incapacity of the Nic : Bottoms and
RobinStarvlihgs of the time,whom weak
ness and wickedaefs have raised to mag
istracy and distinction.' Bur our great
est fin is yet to be considered. We
have refufed to fall down find worship
the molten calf, and instead ' of yielding
a Stupid adoration, have rather prefer
red to point out to our friends and fel
lows its defects and deformities) ;
• We Are now to examine how far the
accusation of our enemies, that we have
calumniated the Prefidflit of the Unit
ed States, and contaminated his exalt
ed character by zander and falfe accu
sation, is founded in tfuth,and how ful
ly it can be supported to our Shame and
• cotifufion." No man poffefled of a spark
of national pride, feeling or attachment,
could, with perfect unconcern fee the
chief magistrate of the country exhibit
ed as a monster in vice, ^d witness the
confecuent dishonor of the man, debafe-'
ment of the office, and degradation of
the country. We may ,egird as low
ly the fortunes of our .nation, and as
adverse its fate, we may depredate the.
cause and lament - the consequence, but
we Shall not be 'Charged of wasting at
tachment; to that country whfch gave
us birth, nor with being deftitttie of feel- 1
ing for its iptereft, of pride in the just
causes of her,glory. It is the part of
friendship and true a&ftron, however
harsh may he the operation; to lay open
the ulcer wiih. an unshrinking hand,
that a speedy and efeChial cute may be
accomplished ; not weakly and timidly
to sooth the patient and lend a decep
tive lenitive to his paip while he treads
a Ture path to an untimely grave. Our
observations upon Mr. Jefferfon have
been of two kinds — relating to his offi
cial a&s and to his private character.

to fee error in onr executive, and that
we have not affe&ed to be tardy in ex
pofiog it'wben seen. But what have
we written, what hare we published cl
the President of the United States
( We hive criticifed his writings to the
entertainment of out readers,'we may
have Touched the pride of the author,
& mangled Ihetyutatiort of the fchol
lar. In this th^fe is surely nothing un
pardonable.—We have canvafled his
public ads, ha"ve compared his promises
with their fulfilment, have aligned mo
tive for his measures, and have fully
pointed out the resulting confequehces.
Wehave dhewn that be can affed moderation
without feeling it, that be can preach forbear
ance. without pradung it, that began call for
conciliation, whilff his own ads induce disunion,
and his own hand deals deflru&ion. We have
attempted to expole an hypocrif, which con
ceals ambition, to tear off the vizor from den-
% 0 gy- a nd to ihew the man %beis to the peo
ple who support him. 'ln this wofk, and to
maintain thele charges, we have travelled with
the President through the windings of a fubtl^
coorfe, yve have likened to his fyren voice “ in
language without meaning,' 'in ,'phrafe to
blind the people, and in the expression of “idear
to delude . " so folly, and ftrongty exhibited in
his foddrefs to the Senate, in his inaugural ad
drels, and in his menage tp Congress ; we pave
tice ! him in his nefarious correspondence with
M zzei, and through the drivelled leaves of
abandoned, and pur^hafed libellers; we h>ve
reared to his outrage upon the conCTution in
a ruthiefs stab at judicial independence, and to
hs artifice in his fifeal operations, to ob
t in the lavor of the people by means of a
iade hollow, and ftarvehog economy ; we have
.naiked him in a dark Ad ,striking contrast,
whin with one hand mcrcilefdy consigning the
honed and faithful officer to penury and shame,
and when .with the other lavUhipgly rewarding
perfidy and perjury with the honor and emolu

Virion and murder; and when hypocritically

particulars we have touched the public charae

In our investigation of the private character
of Mr. Jefferfon, we have not played at chil
dren's sport, but we have.^rged things serious,
weighty and important. The fubjeCT of our
firfl and most earned accusation has been, that
this man has openly avowed fentimeuts of un
belief in our holy faith, that he lies pointed ^|!
the redemption of man as a fable, and at th6
meditation of Christ as,a mummery and a cheat.
We have referred to his feernful and taunting
declaration that a fallen house was lurely fit for
the worship of him who was born in a manger;
we have quoted his writings for proof of his
unbelief ; we have shown him on'record an a
vowed advocate of the cheating ana pernicious
do&rine, which is the bope of the hypocrite
that opinion and pra&ice haft no connexion,
that it matters not whether men , believe in
twenty Gads or 9ne. 7Lad of all, to clofc the
work in this particular, we have pourtrayed
hhn as inviting, to hisduppok from a far dif
tint land, ibd Ather : (hing in his bofom,.the
most impious, of infidels, the mod profane of re
vilers, the most obfeenc of 61afphemeq Who
will have the .hardihood to fay that this tale
should be fnioothered and the founds die ere
they tingle in the ears.of a moral and religious
people?,',..
We have next.^forded the practical opera
tion of the principles or the infidel, and have
here fought so illustrate the connexion between
moral opintetand action. We have (hewn up
on proof, that remains to this day undemolifhed,
that Mr. Jefferfon affarded'his countenance to,
that he npurtfad in embryo; that he aided in
Bringing to th? birth the mdfk corrupt and pol
luted maG of flunder, Venom and malice ever
yet produced by Iniquity: That he assisted in
. forming, and paid for producing, the groffeft'
land bfackeft ,tiges of falfehood and calumny,
which tortured genius could fabricate, to tar
pifh the fapiqto wound the feelings, and to de
stroy the reputation of our best and greatest
memft We nave here held up to merited exe
cration ibid ignominy the man who could have
the nicannefs and the wickedness to dip an ar
r'ow in a deadly poison, without the courage to
draw it to its head ; who could have the h
trocity to whet the knife, without the hardi
hood to give the fatal blow; nay, farther, who
could sweetly smile upon and fondly flatter the
vi&ims, whole ruin he had designed, whose de
flrudion he had plotted. We pause for one
word of comment-tbad this man been a true
believer in the despised religion of Jesus of
Nazareth, we should have been spared the fhame>
of witnessing the degradation of the firft office?*
of onr country, below the mcannefs of 4 <o_
mon libeller.'
-Another article of accusation agajnft Mr. Jef
ferfon has been that his private affociatton with
men of known corruption of ehara&er, has ren
dered deeply to affeift the honor of the man
and the dignity, of his office. Do not the most
profligate of qien boast of his notice; and blaz
on to the * world his courtesy, and the freedom
with which they enjoy his lociety ? Has he not
invited to his embraces, and received with wel
come the most loarhfome and derelict! of human
beings? Does he not now cberifh and fofter
with familiarity and kinrinefs one of the most
debated of men, one of the most profligate ofli-t
beliefs ? No man, it is true in this country, is
