There is no baseness too base for toryifm
to resort to. The following article has been
copied from the Portland Gazette, from
which it has been copied by several defpica
ble prints ; the Palladium has only given
the malicious slander in general terms.
When it firft appeared in an infignificant
print in this city, we determined to make
enquiries at Waihington — Subjoined to the
articles is the answer, which we have re
ceived from Washington on the fubjeft.
" Mrs. Dearborn and Tom Paine ! —The
last Kennebec paper contains the following
lingular article. We insert it for the a
musement of those who are acquainted with
the politics and religion of the parties :
“ Dodor C , a Member of Con
gress from this State, in a letter to a friend
thus writes : —" A number of gentlemen
were lately invited to dine at Crcn. Dear
born's ; among whom was Tom Paine.
After dinner, Paine began to ridicule relig
ion, and blaspheme the Nazarine in the most
/hocking manner. Mrs. D- n, with an
air of dignified authority, arose, opened the
door, and bid him Begone ! Paine and his
friends feared and looked thunderstruck !
M rs . D h, told him file had heard his
blasphemy as long as file could endure it ;
then pointing to the door, commanded him
to begone that moment ! he then left the room
while the company fat in amazement !"
" Indignant thus the rebel host, difmay'd,
The Almighty mandate flently obey'd ;
Nor was there one in Heaven's bes manfons
IPho durfl ofepefe, where God in vengeance
frown'd.
" On taking a view of the principal ac
tors in this Tragi Heroic feene, the candid,
impartial, mind, will b^at no loss in deter
mining to which charade belongs true mag
^afoty of foul ;—t„yhich, difgrace/ul

Remarks on the above, written at II ufoington.
'' You might have concluded from the
internal evidence of this new tale, that it
was a gross imposture. One of the pious
means by which the religious profeffion is
brought into difrelpea and doubt.—Do&or
Menafeh Cutler, is the member of Congref
to whom this slander is attributed in the firft
instance. He solemnly declares that he ne
ver wrote or insinuated any thing which
could countenance such a falfehood.—Whe
ther he had or had not denied the calumny
attributed to him, it so happened, that the
writer of this dined at General Dearborn's
on the fame day that Mr. Paine dined there.
—Mrs. Dearborne is a venerable, modest,
motherly Woman, perfectly domeflic,
and unassuming. On the day Mr. Paine
dined there, the conversation turned wholly
on the events of the American and French
revolutions, and particularly on the mifcon
dud of Silas Deane. During the whole
time of dinner, religious conversation was
not once brought up, and immediately upon
the removal of the cloth, Mrs. Dearborne
and her daughter, Mrs. Wingate, retired,
to our general reluctance, and evidently to
theirs, for the conversation was interesting,
and the ladies who had been joined by sev
eral others after dinner, intimated that the
conversation would be acceptable in the
drawing room.
" It also happened that Mr. Paine re
mained at the general's until 7 o'clock in
the evening when he parted with the family
in perfect civility, and that the Writer of
this accompanied him to his lodgings, and
that he has as conltantly as at any other
place paid visits to the family.—Mr. Paine,
so far from being an unpleasant or morose
charaaer, has been considered in many com
panies where I happened to be, as a mod
agreeable and interesting man, from the
fund of anecdote which he pofleffes, and his
readin'efs to communicate it—where the
company is agreeable. Whether the au-

[I DOL. 50 CTS. PER ANNUM
From a venerable Citizen 0, Virginia, Ba
Member c, Congrejs, dated Jan. 9, 1803.
" I THANK you for your favour m the
28th pad, and accompanying the Report of
the Secretary or the Treasury, agreeing with
the pleating flatement of our Finances, and
the wife and unef lapplication of then., in
the president's communication—-which must
attach to the administration, all the waver
ing and doubtful ; an effe&, which I lad
the pieafure of hearing a neighbor of that
class fay, it ought to have, and had : feme
zealots of the party indeed, full of fire at not
being furnilhed with something to find fault
in, fay it is all a delusion, and no debts are
paid —l wilh We may long continue to be
(□deluded. 1 incline to think it might have
been well to have paid another million or
two, since it is an old obfcrvation that an o
verflowing Treasury often puts well mean#
ing men upon projects they would otherwise
forbear ; of this fort I confider the proposi
tions to ere& Monuments to the memory of
certain Generals ; but console myfelf with
the idea that the frequent motions to add to
the number, are made with a view to clog
and destroy the measure. lam far from a
wilh to derogate from the merit of those
brave men, but do not approve 0^ the mode
of perpetuating it ; firft because hiftory
proves it to have been a tribute paid indis
criminately to the worfl, as well as the bes
of.men, and we owe the diferimination to
that hiliory ; and secondly, because, though
expensive, it does not answer the end so well
as the fame hiflory, which has preserved the
charaaers of men, whose monuments have
been long since destroyed. If Congress fuf
pe& that historians may not record the
bravery fy those generals would it not be
better to appoint an Hiftoriographical Com
mittee, to draw up and report a ffiort ftatc
ment of the diftingbifhed anions of each^
