It is now rendered clear ar.d certain,
lint a plan of giving this country a go
vernment fey the milit ry or a govern- i
, mem by force, was formed at the dose of
i the revolu’.ic n. The western posts were
! not then delivered : They were perhaps
I detained to serve and aid the purpose,
, for it is represented by Mr. IVebster a de
fender of Mr. jhiamti, that in the course
of the long and awful military scheme,
which lie discloses, Cobbelt \.as here as
an I'mglish ;>gcn!, and an alliance ofTen
rive and defensive with Great Ilritain
was proposed. lie charges Mr. Picker
ing with desiring it. In connexion w th
'.Ins he gives the f Uowing account of the I
plan of raising a vast military force. Mr.
Webster, in his letter to the hue Gen. A.
fl-n, thus explicitly informs tills de
ceived nation :
“ The other measure of government
which was actually earned into eject, svis ’
■be raising r,j an army, and this is one for 1
which you are, in a great degree, respon- '
»ihle. On this suhjcCl the president arrd j
you differ widely, end to the ill success of
your firc/amiions and view* in regard to
this measure, may be principally ascribed
the of/ n ofifiosition you now make to the
president’s rc*ele6Vion."
“ As you have omitted then to state the
f.itts and your propositions on thisjubjeft,
permit me to do it for you—and to inform '
the public that the raising an army was \
never recommended by the president nor
by any of the heads of departments with
bis privity and consent—that bn never bad
an opportunity of expressing his opinion
officially on the MibjedO., until the bill was
presented for his signature—and that in 1
h,s opinion, the measure v/as adopted
without a due regard to the resources of
the country ; yet, as the bill passed by a
large majority, and was a measure of de
fence, of which he considered the repre ;
sentatives in congress good judges, he did
not see fit to give it Iub negative.
“ Permit me to state further, Sir, that j
in the spting of 1793, you addressed the
people of the United States, on the tic i
cessi’.y of raising a considerable army, cn->
d -avoiing to convince them of the danger /
f invasion—a dngcr altogether chimcr.)

'hat put the country •»» unnecessary ex

numVr of twelve regiments only that you '
intended to have raised. In a writing
which you put in'o the hands of your

of the country. Report s ys 50000 in

crti'.i.ij, Ji ),us gudQ many enemies of
tiie government.and alienated the minds ot
many most decided federal menl'tomy-wi
end your fnen'ds. And tins alien lion ol
nr.ud has become the less re oucdeable, as
your friends have freely avowed that one
l.aaui object in establishing an ■itv.y, was
ter rallying floral in the events <f civil
dis..cations, to cohect the Jrieml< oj gov rn
nn ot and crush domestic o/i/iusilion. l lm
avowal derives new force from the lact
that a similar projedf was concerted a
mong certain military charaffcrs in the
year 1785, when Joel Harlow, who then
was ripe lor the establishment of mo
narchy, was sen: us an agent from Connec
ticut to Host on to make tome arrangements
with the in: lit c ry genii. .nen'nt ha ; sine, win n
it was agreed, in case of civil convulsions,
to rally the ofliceis and soldiers of the Awe
army, and with the help of supplies to be
furnished by some rich merchants, to give
a government to this t oumry by force.
“ 1 hink not, Sir, ilia, all the tnonstrrus
schemes ol daring umbitioi s men. to over
(tree and cor.trou! the constitutional powers
of our government arc ei.her hidden or
approved by federal men. The vrri.er of
tins letter has been too long the faithful
servant of his country ; and too steady and
uniform in the support of government and
religion, against the assaults ofdisorgan
izjrs, to incur a suspicion i f apOstacy.

and mine must be tried. 1 rr/tiubate your

twelve regiments, and that you it .d . . f

m agnation. And it is surprising that
vcir boasted wisdom and foresight should
u.i. e in this instance, yield d to the im
P' hes ot your mi::’ary ssea!."
It ought to l e lull remembered, that
besides all the inimcnsc force, the ma
rines, and the seamen in our navy, c«.u]d
,io\ in our buys anti rivets, and sounds,
and in our seaports. Hut in addition in
-11 these, the a :\of the 2d of March 1A9b,
authorised the employment cf 77,000
aristocratic volunteers. The volunteers
were not to be officered bv election, hire

iili-. but by the prisiden , and the f .lull*
leer general olncyrs were io be appointed
by the president ar.d not by the governor',
ol Male legislatures, as in the case of the
militia. They were to supplant the ir.i
litia. The arms and military s ores of
the U. S. were at their command. In
I an try. 50 OLD, cavalry, 10,000, seamen
20,000, marines 5000. volunteers, 77,000,
would be in all 160,000 m -n. All ill's
scheme was in contemplation in the spring
of 1793 by general II-n, as Mr.
Webster’s letter proves. And yet, Mmeri
cans, that very citizen, gen. II. was nomi
nated and appointed in the /(Moving sum
mer, by Mr. Adams to the office of in
spector general, f the army and first ma
jor general, an - n the real supreme com
mand of the army. For he was to be the
chief commander, ’till an invasion, and Mr.
\V cbsler himself states the attempt to be
“chimerical,” ar.d “impossible.” If tins
imfiocsille invasion were to take place, then
general Washington was to take the com
mand. 1 lie drift ol this scheme is plain.
1 lie cover over it is thinner than a cobweb.
General Hamilton, known to have these
views from 1787 to 1738, was to have the
command of a force of 160,000.4 Fcoj ie
of America, all ye, who really love ot.r
constitutions, were not the republicans per
fectly right to remove Mr. Adams and
with him II-—.—n and Pickering, and
to cleCl Mr. Jefferson to (he office of pre
sident ? \es: and ye will confirm the
sound p- licy of these fafcts hy the re •dic
tion of Jcflcrson, ant! the election of C-ii..

We invite our readers to peruke the fol

prtssid the substance upon their memo
