Letter the Sixth.
THE malignant mind, like the jaundiced
eye fees every thing through a falfe medium
of its own creating. The light of Heaven,
appears itained with yellow to the distemper
ed light of the one, and the faireft actions
have the form of crimes in the venomed im
agination of the other.
For several months, both before and after
my return to America in October lull, the
apostate papers, filing themselves Federal,
were filled with paragraphs and essays ref
pe&ing a letter from Mr. Jefferfon to me at
Paris ; and though nond of them knew the
contents of the letter, nor the occasion of
writing it, malignity taught them to fup
pofc it, and the lying tongue of iijullice lent
diem its aid.
That the public may be no longer imposed
upon by federal apoilacy, I will now publifli
the letter and the occasion of its b:. g writ
ten.
The Treaty negociated in England by
John Jay, and ratified by the Walhingtoii
Administration, had so difgiacefully lurien
dered the right and freedom of the Ameri
can flag, that all the Commerce of the United
States on the ocean became exposed 10 cap
ture and fuffered in confequcnce ot it. Ihe
duration ot the treaty was limited to two
years after the war ; and consequently A
merica could not, during that period, releafc
herfelf from the chains which that treaty
had fixed upon her.
This being the case, the only relief that
could come mult arise out of something ori
ginating in Europe, that would, in its con-
Sequences, extend to America. It had long
been my opinion that commerce contained
within iifeit the means of its own protec
tion ; but as the time for bringing forward
tny new system is not always happening it
s neceflary to watch its approach and lay
nold of it before it pulses away.
