Mr. FreneAu,
THAT the court langusge of Mo
gulflan fi.ould have already found
its way into the fequeilered abodes of our
north weltern territory, I could hardly
have fuppoftd, had not a late tdift by tin
governor pro-tempore of that territory as
certained the fatt. This extraordinary
edict I net with in your pcper No. 149
Indeed, take the performance all in all.
and I predict we (hall not soon fee its like
aga n in the United Stats.
Every line embraces the features of mo
narchical llyle, mid while the confpicuou;
WE appears the fountain of emanativc
authority, the no less important OUR
dilcovers what some people would be at.
did circumstances admi:.
What an immensity of ideas are crowdec
into those three little words, " during our
pltafure !" — Alas ! pleasure ought noi
to be the pursuit of men of counsels ; anc
the judges who were honoured with thi
lof:y founding commiflion cannot be fuf
ficiently venerated for rejecting an ap
pointment during thepleafurt of any sub
ordinate officer whatever.
This commiflion has awakened in ma
ny persons (trange ideas of what will ir
time take place in this country, unless th<
French keep a good look-out, and fee thai
we rem in «• Staunch Republicans."
This commiflion is Ike a trout pye
that will ftiek in an American's throat
for want of being well cleared of ribs an
back bones.
It is a fix weks old p'g, that fhoulc
be roajled for the good of the company
It is inu ton broth made of bear's beei
and goose-giblets.
It is calves lie .d turtle soup, that could
not be mpofed tor such on good judges.
In short, considering time, place, and
circumllance, it is every thing but what it
should be ; it is a molt extraordinary
phenomenon ; heterogeneous, heterodox,
and heteroc ite ; a bundle of inconsistency
and republican absurdity : but being now
dead, (as holy mother church fays over
her deceased charge), requiefcat in pace.
may it reft eternally in peace !
Delaware, 26th April 1793.
For the National Gazette.
THERE are some performances in
the literary walks of men, which
are difgraceful to the honest dignity of
human nature. Among these mayjuftly
be reckoned laboured eflays, paying tul
some adulation to temporary officers of
government. An upright, well intenti
oned official character will disdain and re
jest the servile flattery of devoted syco
phants, who for private ends, a treasury
luncheon or a grin of condecenfio i, are
willing to facrifice every idea of independ
ence, and become the contemptible tools
of what they vainly suppose to be power.
Puffing off the fervams of a republic is
an i republican, and ever more betokens
meanness of condition, or betrays some
finitler design. The people have set up
no man or men to be worshipped in this
country, and indeed the federal govern
ment by allowing its administrators such
profufe salaries as it ha , seems tacitly to
have intimated to the whole sycophantic
tribe, that the praises and puffings of in
dividuals would be fuperfluous, the high
salaries being meant to exclude all laudato
ry compensation whatever for their offici
al services. The approbation of 3 good
officer is the silence of the people.
A late fulfome ".'-ritcr, of the cad de
fcrihed in the beginning of this eflay, has
lately appeared in the Gazette of the
United States, who seems gifted with un
examp ed povtrty and baseness of spirit "
I am nolo 'y (fays he) and Mr. H—is le
cretary of the treasury !"—Nobody, Sir!
what do you mean by nobody ?—ln a
republic every honell and ufeful member
of the community is fome'ood\> and at least
equal to any secretary or any public efficer
wh tevcr, as a man, in the scale of poli
tical confluence. Mult not the secreta
ry of the treasury, and every man of sense,
blush at such abominable trash as what is
below quoted, and call upon the red light
nings of Jove to blall the wretch, who al
tlio' probably member and citizen of a free
republic, da.es to avow himfelf nobody,
and at the fame time in the front of a
iicwfpaper/neplafters a public officer
with filch Gckening fluff as what follows,
iz. 'He is one of the brightest jewels in
Columbia's Crown.—As a pillar in the fe
deral building he seems to unite the soli
di y of the Doric order, the delicacy and
elegance of the lonic, and the touching
beauty of the Corinthian, &c. &c. &c.

In our paper of April 6th, mention was
made of a certain resolution being prefent
:d to the Pennsylvania House of ri(Terribly,
ending to the impeachment of John Ni
;holfon, Esq. the comptroller-general of
his commonwealth. The assembly h;.viiig
jroceeded thereon, but left the hufinefs
indetcrmined ; Mr. NichoKon has notified
he public as follows :—" I am advised
:h:it it will be improper in the present cir
:umflances, to bring before you tne merits
)f rnv cause, on the fubje£t of the articles
Df impeachment which you have ktely seen
in the public papers. I was anxious that
an invelligation of those charges should
have taken place before the adjournment of
:he legislature, that jufticc might be done,
and you be acquainted with the fadls, and
I prefied it witn all my power. As the
opportunity is !ofl until another feflion, all
I have to request is, that my fellow-citi
zens and the public will suspend their judg
ment until I have an opportunity to be
heaid."
The ship Industry, from Bengal, in the
East Indies,* arrived at Norfolk in Virgi
nia, on the 15th of April. The night be
fore she made the Capes of Chelapeke,
whiltt tunning at the rate of nine knots,
(lie unfortunately flruck a fchoone upon
her quarter ; from the dreadful cries of the
people on board the schooner, and her dis
appearing r.lmoll immediately, it is fuppo
fed she mull have funk—the force of the
blow carried away the Indultry's bowsprit
and cut-water; after which accident, it
ivas thought dangerous to put the (hip
about."
EXTRACT.
In a republican government, every man
or member of the republic, ought to be a
politician in a degree, perhaps not so much,
nr so great as to be able to write on po i
tics a.-curately an I learnedly, but at lead
he ought to be so far informed, as to the
nature of the three great dillinftions of go
»ernments, now existing among the inha
bitants of the wo Id, (viz.) monarchy,
arillocracy, and democracy, as to be able
to judge with tolerable p ecifion, and un
derflanding, what man is of pure democra
tic principles, and in whose hands the re
public will be the most lik ly to flourifli
and continue unimpaired; then he can vote
for his rulers with fafety ; and I am fully
persuaded, that no means can be invented
to disseminate such kind of knowledge, fc
univerlally among all classes of people fc
well as through the medium of judicioui
news papers. In them are essays more 01
less on each kind of government, and in
formation of every thing which happens in
every one of the three different kinds. Ii;
Spain he will fee ihemilerable situation 0]
a people groaning under the a'ofolute noc
of a monarch, forbidden on pain of deatl
to read, or speak on the present politics o:
France. In England, which is a mixture
of all tl ree ; a king who is a monarch, i
house of loids, who are arillocats, and tht
commons who are called democrats; there
he will find that by the abfo'utenels of •
king, and the intrigues of the lords, the
commons have become almolt a mere name.
& the people deprived of more than three
quarters of their ancient privileges, anc
liberties,and that nothing short o{ a blood)
revolution will prevent them from degene
rating into the mod abject slavery. In
France he will fee the horrid and dreadful
situation of a people compelled to fight all
the crowned heads in Europe, combined
together,to regain that liberty which they
once enjoyed, and which by the God of
nature was given them to enjoy equally
with all mankind.
In America, he will with pleafure,view
the happiness of a free people, enjoying
all the iweets of a pure democratic govern
ment ; he will fee everv man enjoying his
own property unmolested, choosing h s
own riders, enacting his own laws, and the
uncontrouled mailer of his own a£lions
He will be led to bless God in holy rap
tures, thai he was born to poflefs such pri
viieges; that he yet lives in a land where
he may fit under his own vine, and under
hi 3 own figtree, where .none are sou.id to
hurt or mole It him. He will then leriouflv
resolve and determine that he wi ! i do his
endeavours to hand these great blessings to
pollerity unimpaired ; and previously afiill
in putting a speedy end to those abuses
which have already in tome degree menaced
our liberty; by a iervile copying of, and an
adherence to systems, that have always in
their operation, proved fatal to the liber
ties o! mankind, wherever faiFcred to exilt
for any kngth of time.
He will conceive it his duty to attend
the annual, or periodical eleition of his ru
lers and magiilrates : to natch againfl the
intrigues of Uefigning men, and vote f:r
men ot pure democratic principles ; men
cf knowledge and abilities; men of reli
gion and virtue. lam informed that at
the late, meeting of the freemen in this
ILte, people more generally attended, than
has of late been usual, yet it is supposed
not one half of the freemen were present.
I hope that in our next freeman's meeting,
which will be in four or five month-., every
freeman will conceive it his duty to attend
to the important business of that day, and
attend not only to choosing his reprefeHta
tivrs, but that he will not leave the meeting
till he has given in his twenty votes for ho
nell, able, reli.ious democratic principled
men, to Hand in nomination for afiiltaiits.
I Have claims to about two hundred and
fifty thuulana acres of LAND in the (fate of
Kentuckey, m different pares of that country,
Com of which 1 know to be equal to any ; all
of wh ch l am inclined to tiilpole of, either by
entire sale, or by admitting one, or two partners,
Co whom the agency on the whole will be con;
mitted.
One fourth of the contra# will be required in
hand, either in cash, merchandise, or such a net $
as may be converted to attive use, the refiaue
may be apportioned in convenient inflalments.
The purch&fers to give security, on the land,
i>r orherways,as suits them.
Knowing that there is a prejudice the
titles of land in that state, which is more general
r han just, 1 am willing to stipulate in the con
raft, that a discount, or dedu&ion, fhaO be
n aae, where any land may be loft,' by realon of a
lefeQfive title.
Any person inclining to such a f>urchafe, is re
juefted to write to me by polt, in answer to
