,REVIEW OF
JEFFERSONS ADMINISTRATION.
No. Xllf.
AFTER feme calculations on the 1
comparative increase of population by 1
, emigration. Mr. yeffe v jon\3 hisNoteson'
Virginia observes, " but are there no in
conveniences to be thrown into the scale
agaiuft the advantage, expelled from a
multiplication of numbers by the impor
tation of foreigners ; Is it lor the'happ:-
nefs of those in society to harmonize
as muth, as possible, ^matters, which
they must of necessity tranfaft'' Civil
>ve ome.nt beiito the sole object of for
nuhg facietics, its adminittrationmuft be
conducted by common confeat. Every
species of government has its fpecific
principles. Ours perhaps are more pe
culiar, than those of any other in the
universe. It is a compofitton of the
freeft principles of the Englilh conftitu
tiori wch others, derived from natural
right and natural reason. To thete no
thing can be more opposed, than the max
ims of abloiute monarchies. Yet from
such we are to expert .the greatest num
ber of emigrants. They will bring with
them the principles of that government
they have imbibed in their early youth ;
or if able to throw them off, it will be
for an unbounded licentiousness, palling
asit isufual, from oneextreme to another.
It would be a miracle, were they to flop
precisely at the point of temperate libers
t!. These principles with their lan
guage they will tranimit to their chil
dren. In proportion to their numbers they
will (hire with us the legislation. They
Will infufe into it their Spirit, warp and
bias its direction, and render it a hetero
geneous, incoherent, diftraded mass."
These are perhaps as correct sentiments, ,
as ever came from the pen of a visionary
dreaming philosopher. They are far dif
ferent from those systems and theories,
Ifounded on a fancied perfection of hu
m^n nature, and produced by the French
revolution, which nearly unhinged the
inteledual as well, as moral world. They
1 show that the evils, refusing from dis-;
;ferent habits and different education, are|
;fufficient to exclude them from a par- j
} ticipation of the privileges of native cit-1
I izens, without taking into the account
Itheir depraved moiais and vicious incli
nations. Whence then have his opinions 1
been so strikingly incontinent ? The
anfweris, he wrote his firft, as a man in- f
tent on the difeovery of truth; his last,
as President,determine to patronized the
extreme licentiousness of these imported
patriots, rather than incur any danger of
losing his office.
We have given these sentiments of the|
President principally in support of thel
character, we Rated aliens generally to।
possess, though they manifeft his felfifh
nefs and inconsistency. For full evidence
of it we now appeal to the hiftory of the
lives of the principal leaders of this tribe
of runaways from justice, to whose care
and exertion Mr. Jefferson has com^
mitted his fame.
The Secretary of the Treasury, after
expulsion from his own country tor tica
fonable practices against it, and the en
joyment of an asylum here, could not re
strain his restless (pirit, but was the chief
instigator of aninfumaion tooppofcibe|
salutary measures of the wife and vir-|
tuous Washington. It may be for
this that the President has given him
one of the most important offices under
the government, in neglcd of many of
our countrymen, not inferior, in talents,
in reputation infinitely superior. Duane
high confidence of Mr. Jefferfon, and
consequently- feif styled organ of the
public will, after fuffering in the East In
dies adifgracefulpunifhment, was obliged
to fly to avoid a still heavier judgment of
the law. Cheetham is a pillar, though
weak, in thetemple of Atheism and Illu
minated vice. Callender, though he re
pented of theabandoned slanders, which
Mr. Jefferfon hired him to publish
against his predeceftbrs, could not ac
cording to (he friends efrhe executive
and they belt knew him, boast an uq
blemifhed character. How many m >b-
I of united Irifomen in 9S and 99 ass-m
--bled in the fbeets of Philadelphia to pc-
Itition and intimidate the governments
Suh later lccr.es ire in memory; Prece
ding the congrefliunal election in Dela
ware io iSoz, numbers of aliens were 1+
intoxicated, and used such impious lan
guage before thejudge, who was natural
izing them, that even democracy itb *
was shocked, and threatened a denial 0:
citizenship, uniefs thev would at least
fume the ^ppevaoce of temperance. f>
low all, but at a depth of iTce ircmeaio
rably great, itinds Thomas Paine, after
abandoning the friend of his bofam, an:
leaving his country ; after being cenfm
ed tor ddcloiing secrets of the Continen
tal CongreA in breach of confidence ; a
ter returning 10 England and confpiri:,
against its government , after flying :
to avod the punishment ot death ; aft,r
being cholen 2 'number o' that body <r
cut throats and affaUins, the national con
vention, by a dulriCT, which boalted <.
hiving defied tv?) leprefentires, wrd
wereexceeded io inhny by himfelf alo:
alter vilifying, misrepresenting, and b
lying t^e conduce of Washington ; ar
after denying his God and Saviour,trad:
cing out holy religion, and attemptil
- discredit it by biafohemous obfeenu.
this man, or composition of impiety ani
wickedness, is invited by the Preffde::
with exprehions of aff.clionate attach
ment to return to America, and rent
& work of corrupting morals, d^^ r
principles, and demoralizing vno
ous habits, in support of hisadminiftri .
Having exhibited a life so prolific i.im
qurty, tor what other pufpofe could .;.
bane of virtue be recalled ? The ext:
tire cannot expell the aid nf the riu
patriotic in adminflering the governm %
when they behold him, countenancing
a man, who is evertin'inifelf to lap
fcuhilarions.
These are the unhappy fugitives fie
diftrefs, who have been lo patheticar
;LY represented as claiming our holph .-
I ity. They are that Suffering human ',•
I to whose cries states, understanding th
-happiness, and regarding the dw
;bility of their institutions, have been <k.
but to which we have fatally lifters .
:Like the natives of Rome in the time ^
;Hadrian, we may fay cur country | i
attracted the vices of the universe):'
the manners of the most opposite nar,>
With habits, feelings, and principles 1-
I tally dissimilar, destitute of anv refers
ito moral rettitude, and unacquainted w!•
i the most obvious maxims of found pi -
I cy, they are to give (lability to agm -
I nlent, which is founded on virtue and .-
jformation. Instead of the produdun. r
this effect by naturalization, it will i> 1
miracle for it long to withstand the (b:
and conflifts of ths contending path
of foch a " diftraded, incoherent, he..
ogeneous mils." Seeds are sown, wh '1
must quickly -ripen the deftuaiou f
this empire. The world's last and i t
hope will shortly have an exiftence<
on the page of hiftory. Soon will :
traveller read its ruin from the mould
tn g fragments of its monuments and
! ft riptions,& censure that infatuated p< 1 ,
I which hastened its downfail b, amir.:
lofI of foreign, spurious, onaffimilatiag

The hftory of nations difphys the '
tal effects of indiferiminate naturalize
and its necessary attendant, foreign uu^
ence. The Cbinefe, who have ntv::l
any communication with aliens, 0 1
in a tingle city for the purpose of h.: .• 1
have preserved for ages pure and ur^u -1
