TUESDAr, DECEMBER 2, ISOO,
From the Independent Chronicle.
IT is a melancholy truth; that a Faaion in
this country, have been able to pursue a
system of political meafuies, which has
plunged it into a most serious and alarming
Situation, This insidious junto have had
the address to palm themselves on the unfuf
peafogcitizens, as the friends to govern
ment, ang have had the effrontery to designate
their' fraternity, with the empbatical ap
pdlatinh of FEDERALISTS. Their impu
dence has been so outrageous, that they have
had the audacity to brand every man with
the epithet of 'Jacobin, who presumed to ex
ercise a right to arraign their condua be
fore the. tribunal of an injured people, has
confounded their devices, and placed them
in a predicament somewhat fimilat to Mik
ton's fallen angels, in accusing and condem
ning each other. ,
How long have the citizens beeh imposed
on by ihe disgraceful tales fabricated within
the circle of these caballing associates f How
many charaders have been wantonly fpo'rt
ed with ro exalt them to the bigheft eleva
tion ! and how many honest men have- been
degraded, to raise the satellites of this party
to places of honor and profit.—Yes, fellow
citizens ! we have seen the evil effeas of
this unprincipled combination, & this coun
try has now to deplore its unhappy fitua
tipn in consequence ofthe fatal policy adopt
ed by those, who haVe too long tiefpafled on
our patience and confidence. It is rather
singular, however, that every affertioh made
by those who are stiled Jacobins, are proved
to be fa&s, by the Very men, who have been
most forward to denounce them.
It is a deftreffing refleaion, that the flrat
agemsand intrigues ofa number of unprin
cipled individuals thould nave so far tael,
ceeded, as to bring America to fts prefers
crisis. If the mifehiefs had expired on the
difeovefy -of their designs, or their• baneful ;
effeas had ceased to opperate on the divi
sions among themselves, we might now con
template the fubjea with force degree of
cpmpofure ; but their measures have been;
" pregnant with evils," and then -names
will long be execrated, in consequence of
the misery entailed on this abused coun
try. In One point of view, it is but -of
final! concern, whether Hamilton, Pinck
ney, Peter Porcupine, &c- are in friendfoip
or at tyrjance—but, if it is true, that
" Harr (ton is the principal instrument of
exciting ^n unfounded alarm, and produc
ing measures which put the country to up
neceffary expence" ; that “ he addressed the
citizens of the U. States on the necessity of
waiting an Army, and endeavoured to con
vince them of the danger of invasion, when
it was altogether chimerical & almost mor
ally impossible" ; t,hat the main object in
establishing this army, was to Cruffi every'
domestic opposition, and eventually to,'give
a government to this country by force" ; that
he proposed an eftablifhaienf of 50,000 in
fantty and 10,000 cavalry ; in fa&, that
Hamilton is the rejponjible agent for raising
the army, and all the consequent expences:
attending this monstrous machinery of. de
ception and impofuion ; that he is the " fa,
ther of the military fyffem,” and that his
influence has been such, as to force the go
vernment into this unnecessary measure, con
trary to the wishes and recommendations of
the President. If these charges can be fub
ftantUted, then t^e controversy wears a feri-^
ous afpe&, 1# , , '4
This however, is the charader drawn of
Gen. Hampton, by the,author of a Letter
addressed to him, under the signature of
' AriKidee; and- fnppoftd to be written by,
Noab'Webfter, Esq. if he is falfe in his
Haternent, let HaniiltOn contradia his affcr
tions . While contemplating this political
Leviathan,.in the extern five sphere thus dif{
cribed by Aristides, he rises (0> a b magnitude
which muff rouse the attention of every
friend to America—more particular muflf
he excise the abhorrence of the real citizens
of the U. States. A forrigrrerthus to drawl!
within his vortex, the constituted 'powers of
the government—that he (hodld he able td
effe& a military fyflem,' contrary to the fen
fitments of the executive—thio he ihouic#
have such a controul over the chief nragff
trate, as to carry plans in opposition so tis
wifhes—:that he should throw tuch ah enor
mous expense on the people, by exciting art
unfounded alarm, and at length have the
affufaneeto come forward in th&face.pf the
public, and libel the PreGdent fcr,<efum
ing to ad Contrary to his wilfcand pleafute.

In this point of view what muff we think
of Alexander Hamilton ? Well may we
exclaim, behold the man !.! Where is the
American, who ever thought, that within
so few years after the adoption of the Fed
eral Constitution, that the . Government of
the United States would have been so far
prostrated to the ambition of one man ?
What ! are the People of the United States
to be burdened with a debt of millions, to
difeharge the expences of an army, railed
in oppoftion to the judgment of the Prefdent ?
Will the, be consoled under the preilure of
Taxation, to be told, that Alexander Ham-,
ilton was the principal instrument jn prose
; cutihg this mtafure ? Wilfthe, fetliMf?
itied in the paltry plea of Afiffides, that
Hamilton is responsible for this military es
tablishment r Does the Constitution re
cognize any other persons th^h the Consti
tuted Authorities, o r have the People any
other means than to arraign the real cul
prits to the bar of an injuted country ?
What other atonement can be made, for the
millions expended by the intrigues of such
unprincipled individuals, or for the falfe -a
larms excited by their arts and stratagems?
—ln a free country, the enquiry ought to
embrace the extent of the evil, as the Con
stitution never substituted ajeape-gout, or as
signed a city of refuge, tothe mtn whom it
held responsible.
Aristides, after describing Hamilton in
the manner before recited, introduces anoth
er important tranfadion, in which he fays,
" many influential characters in govern
ment Were engaged, particularly Timothy
Pickering, late Secretary of State." This
measure, was no less than " a Treaty offen-
Jive and defetfroe with Great Britain." In
this part of the bufmefs, Aristides introduc
es a lingular assemblage of characters, viz.
the British Minister and Peter Porcupine—
the latter, in particular, " proposed and urg
^d an offenfive and defenfive Treaty be
tween the United States & Great-Britain."
He further alledges, as a fa&," that Por
cupine was an Agent of the Btiiiih Minify
, tery, and corresponded with,he under Se
cretaries of State t" and to top the climax,.
Aristides asserts, “ as a well known fad,
that he had won over tohis interest, theGo
veinmcnt-Papcr of the United State,"
Here, reader, I muff beseech you tp
pause, ana reftea on the precipice over
which our country nas been suspended. Con
fider seriously the dreadful gulph into which
we were threatened 10 be plunged. While
we think on this fobjeQ, we cannot but
tremble at our own filiation. The forego
ing recitals, on the condua of Hamilton,
are nbt the vague declamations of persons
who are desirous to disorganize and con
yulfe the government, but they are docu
ments taken from a Writer, who declares
himfelf “ too long the faithful servant of
bis country, to incur,the suspicion of apofta
cy," and who has written in vindication of
Mr. Adams, in answer to Hamilton. This
man tells the public, as matters of f^a, (and
it cannot be repeated too often) " that Hamil
ton was the fathdr of the military system"
—^ thatitwas adopted by his instrumental
ity, and contrary to the inclination of the
Prefident''—" that Pickcrip^, and other'
influential characters, were defircus 0f,2
Treaty offenfive and defenfive With Great-
Brifain"—-" that the British Minister flood,
ready to close the fapl contraCT'-and hill
further, " feter Porcupine fiad urged the
measure, & had fa far corrupted the &eatys
'of public communication, as that he had
won over the hate paper of the govern
ment."
Gracious Heaven ! I—ls it possible, that
American fhoidd be reduced to so humiliat
ing and degrading a pofittah ? That an
/Army 'fhoHld be railed by deceiving t^e
,&nffitu|cd Authorizes, by whole faaion
alone it cotdd have been thought into exift
tntertWb tire degradation ericreafes in its
Ttfty when ^findihat a .p,iu(h'COT
,ffilsoeld have theeffrontery to prosecute
:hi^plans, by the ferret,agency of the BMtMh.
Minifiry. Thus the Executive was dee^-
ed by Hamilton, jo raise an Arm/, while
Rorcupine had.by his address fedured the
patronage & the governmental pouter, A
'hopeful state trolv, for the free, foverejgn,-
Bn^ indepefiderit States of America.
