Bottom Sentinels the 15th June:---
NAWORLEANS.— Since the adop
tion ot the Federal Coelution, no fuo
ie& has more forcibly affected the feeling;
of theciuzens of the United States, than the
occli&n of the port of New-Orleans by me
Spanish (or French) (governments. It is a
foDject to which the attention of the reader
cannot too frequently be called. Ihe Preli
dent of the U. S. has not hehtated ^hcially
to declare, that by this meahtre, “ rights Jne
wo/l effentialto the wefore of the American
people, have been violated, and an infraction ,
Treaty committed without color or pretext ;
the spirit of that people has been alive to
the injury ; and was ready to make any lac
rifice to redress the wrong ;-But becaute
the Federaliits in Congress felt the full glow
of that spirit ; and took the lead in propof
the neceflary measures to give it efficacy
rather than they Ihould derive any honor
from their success, the administration, hav
ing the power, fublfituteda PUSILANIMOUS
NEGOCIATION, and degrading inireaty,
for that spirit of action which manly relejit
tnent for violated rights and brocken faith
foinftlv called tor. Had the w^r of the
Executive been followed by correfp?nding
deeds, New Orleans, without the eftulion oi
one drop of blood, would have been in our
nofleflion and would have furnished a
much more valuable ingredient to negotiate
with, than Ten Millions of Dollars ; or all
the eloquence or intrigue of halt a dozen Inch
Negotiators as Meflrs. Livingston and
Munroe.— But a different policy has pre
vailed ; and what are the efteds of it i The
' Treaty remains broken ; the rights of the
American people still continue violated ; and
notwithfbnding all the prbmifes and asser
tions of the Spanish Minister, the port of
New-Orleans continues Ihut against the en
trance of American produce agreeably to
treaty ; and there does -not exfl the mojl afeint
prrfpefl, that it will ever be opened thereto.

The above paragraphs are quoted, as a
Specimen of the miireprefentation with
which the Federal papers teem. In perfect
accordance with the untruths and aspersions
contained in these paragraphs, the ofepfition
papers, from one end ot the Union to the
other, pcrfeveringly endeavour to blacken
the motives and vilify the measures of the
Nminiftration, who having maintained the
country in peace, against the arts and deep
/eiigns ot their opponents, have, in their
minds, cufomitted an inexpiable offence.
Three declarations are made, viz.
1. That force alone would have been ef
fectual to fccuic our rights on the Millifippi.
2. That there does not exist the molt
diltant profpea that New-Orleans will ever
be opened without the use of force.
3, That the French Prefer has the orders
(of Bonaparte tor keeping the port Ihut.
The official paper we this day communi
cate proves all these declarations utterly falle.
There was before proof lufhdient to convince
every unprejudiced mind ot their untruth ;
but this paper places their fallhood beyond
quelling, and eltablilhes,
I. That pacific measures have been effec
tual to secure our rights.
2. That New-Orleans Is opened, and by
Orleans, was dictated by the French govern
ment ; and the more recent condua of that
sturdy officer, makes it apparent that he has
th^ orders of Bonaparte tor his measures :
And it he is thus thudded, he will bid defiance
to all the crackers which can be let off at him

" Genuine Chrifiianity. —We were, among
a number of other perlons, much grandee
on Sunday fall, with the difcourle delivered
by a reverend Divine, from the pulpit of a
rcfpedable mceung-houfe in this town :—
The sentiments which he avowed were nut,
worthy of a Miniller of the Gulpci or j^m
Cbrht. The lubjedl ot his pious lecture wa
the Chriltian doctrine. " 1 amahonilhed,
said the Minister, " to hear lo much lain
about the overthrow and dclLudticn 01
Christianity by the works of Thomas Tame
or any other Deilt : 11 Christianity could be
overthrown by Thomas Paine 01 any other
deiltical writer, it would have been dettroyed
long ago. But the Chriitiau religion is an
emanation of the Divinity, and cannot 0
demolilhed bv mortal hands. 11, continues
the Divine, any man or let of men ctum
deltroy Chriltianity, I would that they ihouio
do it this day ; if it can be destroyed uy man,
it cannot be of God ; and the looner nc^l^
free from delulion and error the better. But
oeing the work of God, it has flood agaiun
its enemies for ages, and will bear the left ot
time." Here was a defence ot Curhiiarmy
upon divine and genuine principles.^ 3, un
people call the Bible the word ot God, and
yet affect to believe that it can be uetuoyeu
by the hands of Thomas Paine, a mere
mortal man. The Minister very auiy ex
posed the absurdity of such an opinion, and
gave a very severe and at the lame time a
very pious reproof to thole who are incellant
ly founding on the public ears tec itaic Itory
of Thomas Paine's destroying religion. We
heartily with that Christianity could boast
all her teachers as candid and enlightened as
this Divine.

The felf-ftyled Federalists have for a long
time been endeavouring to impress an idea
on the public mind, that Mr. J fferfon was
an enemy to the late Gen. Walhingron,
and this charge like many others which have:
been exhibited against the Prelidenr (with a
view to destroy his popularity) has never
been supported by the least proof ; but cal
umny has ever been the dernier resort of a
fallen faction;
It is well known that Mr. Jefferfon filled
(with reputation to himicif and honour to
11s country) the important and confidential
office of Secretary of State during a great
part of W aldington's adminitiraiion. This
circumflance alone is fufficient to convince
every unprejudiced perlon of the fallity of
the milnion " that Mr. Jefferfon was ini
mic.il to Gen; Washington" ; but if any
doubts ihould remain, the following extrabf.
hom the writings of Mr. jefferfon muff et
tc&uaily remove them.
Mr. Jerterion 111 his " Notes on Virginia;"
obler.es, tuat —" we have produced a
Wjihmgton whose memory wili be adored,
while liberty Ihall have votaries ; whose
name will triumph over time, and will in

The " oppmition party" (not content with
having basely denounced Mr. Jefferfon as the
enemy,of Gen. Washington) nave had the
arrogance and prelumptiop to declare that
liicy were the exclusive friends of that great
man. But I trull there are few, indeed,
who can be delved by such fade pretentions,
