NOTICE,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1801.
TO THE PEOPLE.
LET whoever may be President of the
United States, it is now time to inquire,
why the Centinel, the Commercial Gazette
and fbme other papers are madly filled with
calumny, noise, falfhood, and dander ? It
would be best that all parties should subside
—,th& the opprobipus appellations of Arifto
cratL; Royalists, Monarchy men, Demo
crats, and Jacobins, should no more be heard
to disgrace out nation. Our. Government
is 2 Republic. A Republic means any kind
of collected, national power which is not a
Despotism.
To didingufh olnConftitution by a natural
and descriptive adjunct, we call it an Elec
tive Republics Why shall we not go on in
the fopport of it, without animosity and con
tention ? The reason is, that a certain un
easy, restless, malevolent set of men, have
combined themselves throughout the nation,
to take the Government into their own
hands, and to administer it at their will,
without regard to the principles of the Con
stitution: and they are determined, by cla
mour, deceit, fraud, and cunning, to tyran
nize over all who will not fubferibe to their
sentiments and submit to their controul.
They go still further; their rancour is as
implacably fixed against those who wish to
be quiet and not concern with them, as a
gainst those who oppose them. This peac
able, quiet class of men arc alfothe fubjeCts
of their abuse.
From the Independentchronicle.
But who are the men, that lhu§ with to
arrogate to them Selves all .power and do
minion ?—Trace them and fee for your
selves. Are they the men who risked their
lives and fornmates to deliver you from the
tyranny of Great-Britaia? Are they not
many of them the men, and the children &
connexions of the men, who opposed the A
merican Revolution ? Are they not the
men who incdlamly abused Samuel Adams,
John Hancock, John / ~ , and all those
who led in that great ev^.i Are they not
the men, who have now, by attempting to
exclude the old, virtuous patriot, Jefferfon,
by lies and falfhopds, from the Vice-Prefix
deucy, in order to introduce Gen. Pinck
ney to the chair of the President, excluded
Adams, the tried, faithful patriot, from
public life ? And who is this Pinckney ?
We fay nothing of his moral or political
charafter~-we will not imitate this herd of
llandereis. But whatever he may be, the
hopes of these men are evidently found in
the manner of his education. The venera
bly Washington, wife in most things,' gave
the American world a Sentiment in his Will
that men educated in Europe, were not
fuitablp for American Rufers. There is
hardly a family who is not in possession of a
copyot that inllrument ; they will read for
themselves. The Constitution, under the
fame conviction, declares that none but na
tive Americans (hall be Prefidont arid Vice-
Prelident. There is a facing in favour of
Gen. Hamilton, who opposed the Constitu
tion until it was made, that those who were
citizens at the time of the forming the Con
stitution, though foreigners by biuh, might
Succeed to thole offices.
Gen. Pinckney was born In Carolina,
blit he was educated in England, at the fame
School with the Duke of Leeds, and other
noblemen. His senses were, through all his
early life, wrapt in the fplenpid blaze of
Monarchy and Nobility. The court, the
superb amusements of glittering, royal, and
noble fpl^ndour, were the firtt parts of bis
education, Hi§ virtue may be fb great that
he may have overcame his early, necessary
prejudices against a Republican equality of
life ; but what afTurauce have we of it ? and
why Should we trull him ?
If we submit the question to the men who
were his Supporters, what Shall we learn
from them ? ; Their characters and condu&
give usa full anfiyer. Amongshem are the
men who opposed the Revolutionr—among
them are thecnen who cannot hear the word
P^piUE, Without a Into of,contempt-^the
whole of them combined, have &ff the ap
pellation of Citizens, from &htßatibD.^
Gen. Washington, under his faft ele&wn,
addressed the Cpngrels inibe language ot
the CpnllitutjoA i ^ <^#d them, Fellow.
Citizens ; but the influence of this party
have made the term now not only a. termof
reproach, but conftru&ively within their
Sedition-Aft. The whole national Coniti
wtion is founded on the principles @J&
mocracy, that is, a Government .originating
, [1 DOL. 50 CTS. PER ANNUM
in the audio rity of the People ; this clan have
rendered the word an opptchrious ar offen
five found, You know, Fellow-Citizens,
th# the Leaders of this Party treat the
name of Liberty with reproach. You know
and now plainly fee, that their plan was to
involve you in a War with France, Spain,
and Holland, from which you could never
'have extricated .yourselves, he! at the pk^f
ure of Great-Britain, arid on the terms ft\e
Ihould vouchiafe to afford. You fee that
they have for months naft been violent In
their abuses against John Adams, for fend
ing Ambassadors to save you from the ca
lamities of a War; You may fee ih their
orations, speeches; public performances .and
in ^azettes which they have purchased, the
dirain of abuse which they have gone into, on
thqir disappointment on this head.
Why Ihould these men think, 'that the
meh whom they choose to abuse are enemies
to the country ? Fellow-Citizens, exam
ine for yourselves, and view the characters
opposed to each other. Have hot the men
whom this fa&iop abuse, and have abused
for twenty years pall, been the faft friend,
of the country ? Have they not property,
children, and family connections among
you ? Are not their morals as good as thole
of the men who abuse them ?
It is true that they abhor hereditary pow
er ; they fee, what you all fee, that where
some men are born rulers, the rest are born
Slaves, either in gross, or under some (bow
of privilede. It is true,They have by their
opposition to this dangerous clan, Saved you
from a war. It is true that they are utter
ly opposed to the government of the bayo
net. They want no handing army —tfey
have not enriched themfelvs by an eight
per cent loan—they are not rich by {pecula
tions in public securities at par, which cost
them three (hillings in the pound. But (ball
you be perltiaded not to have confidence in
them, because virtues in your government
are to be considered as disqualifications ?
Should these men, who have been happi
ly born down, by a public opinion awaken
ed to a sense of danger,continue their abuse,
the great body of the People can so distin
guish them by their clamour, as to be able
to sequester them from public concerns, in
their elections ; and to appoint men, who
are in enmity with the principle avowed in
all the American Constitutions, that ail men
are born free, equal and independent ; for men
who believe in the efficacy of an Elective
Republic, and who will bpdeaveur to main
tain it, although the majority of their fel
low^citizens throughout the nation, (ball
dare to vote as they please in elections. In
men who are so far from wishing to raise a
civil or foreign war, and have such an ar
dent desire to maintain true Federalism,
that instead of employing numerous gazettes
to difafFeft the States with each other, and
to throw into parties tfe men of preeminent
abilities, that they will endeavour to concil
iate all on the great and interesting points,
of preserving Peace with foreign nations,
preserving arid maintaining the Government
in its true principles, and encouraging Mo
rals, Religion, Literature, and the Arts.
HOB OR KNOB.
The Offings of the Britif Government, ex
ffl^ijiedin the ftarvcrtion ts the P00f.,;.;
Our late accounts from England contain
a melancholy description of the date otthe
poor in that kingdom. In every part of it,
multitudes are literally starving for want of
fqod. The unhappy fufferers hare been
driven into riots, but these, without effecting
the object in view, have, only expefed them
to be butchered by the ruffians of the land
ing Army. Thphigh prices are not confin
ed to bread, but extended ro every necessary
of life.. In addition to this, the potatoes
have failed in Iceland.-
'The Government, though incapale of
fymp?tby, is nevertheless alarmed for its
own faiety. The King has accordingly,
convened Parliament for the purpafe of de
;vifing means to ward off the lowering v°n
geance of an injured people. Bounties on
importation are granted, and perhaps the
wzile land of the kingdom will, by some
judicious regulations, b| made arable. An
official letter from the Duke of Portland,
dated Sept. 29, to the Lord Lieutenant of
the Country ot Bedford, dates that the pro
duce ef#he last harvelt, .according to the
most sanguine efturiatidu, is not likely to a
mount to more than three-fourths of an fo#
ver^ge crop. It is thought by many that it
