A CIRCULAR LETTER.
tXTUVCT .
From the G-mcral Republican Committ<*c of the
city and couiUy ofNew-Yurk, to their Repub
lican fellow-citizens, throughout the state, in
i indication of the measures of the General Go.
vemnient, and on the necessity or supporting
them against Foreign Influence and domestic
faction.
(continued)
FEI.L0W-ClTt7.ENS,
A new and het'er a:rs vns then
introduced. The system which had so greatly
oppressed us, and fro.n which such extensive
evils were apprehended, was immediately abo
lished. This important event, did not merely
change the men entrusted with the administra
tion, hut it likewise produced a radical rtfjrm of
measures. The tkeicton ot a standing army, for
which so mAiiy incessant pains and laborious ex
pedients were exerted, was commanded to be
dissolved. The excise—the stnmp-art—the a
lien laws, the sedition law—together with the
land-tax, and every other species of exaction
were ordered to cease. The republican govern
ment chose rather to rely upon its own economy,
and the virtues of its constituents, in a day of
necessity, than by repeated exactions to im
poverish, for the purpose of oppi-ssing the pco
pie.
Those who have traced the pot!; pursued by
our government, with a scrutinising and .candid
eye, will furnish evidence to posteritv, which
will command gratitude and admirution when
prejudices cease. It will then be found and
must be acknowledged, that few- administrations
"have ever existed, which have rendered such
signal advantages to a nation, in the short com
pass of eight years. ,
Jt purchased the city and territory of N. Or
leans, with the wlmle of the extensive province
«i Louisiana, for the moderate sum of fifteen
millions of dollars. By its equitable and pru
dent measures, it secured the affections of our
western brethren/ and removed those discon
tents, which, fomented by foreigners, threaten
ed to separate an extensive and rapidly increas
ing pinion of our country from the union.
Instead of incur aring oc public debt, as the F—
deral administration had either designedly orirp
providenlly done, it appears by the regular and
official Reports of the secretary ot the treasury,
that notwithstanding tlwe total abandonment of
direct taxation and an entire reliance upon the
-“venues arising from commerce, the republi
enn government has already paid upwards of’
thirty three millions of dollars of the national
debt; and without exaggeration, it may be safelv
seated that the acquisition of the immense terri
t.o-y of New-Orleans and Louisiana, has produ
ced public property fully ndequte to discharge
every remaining claim against t ie ration.
*uon in an imperfect, and, permit ns to say a
f.ulhfttl and impartial sketch of the relative n>c*
rits of the federal and repnblion administrati
ons.. Under the first we have exncrieii' ed ex
cessive taxes, an increasing debt, and danger to
our liberties. 'I he latter on -the contrary, has
abolished taxation, and while it honestly applied
the public resources to the discharge of our
public debt, it has never sought or attempted
one single measure injurious to freedom.
It. therefore remains, for the people of the
United States, who are sincerely attached ,o the
prosperity of their common country, to deter
mine, n the fi”sl instance, which of the two par
ties, tr.e repiu/.l " r*r the federal, is la st enti
tled to support ? We consider the merits of
the question to he evident, and desire that your
decision may be such as to promote the general
good.
The General Republican committee of the ci
ty and county of New-York, would feel them
selves deficient in duty, if they neglected, in this
place, to refute in a satisfactory manner, the va- 1
l ious charges which h..ve been exhibited by an
interested and adverse party.
Tin- federalists, with all their Industry, have
not been aide to vindicate themselves, neither
could they ever fasten a charge upon the repub
lican government with having attempted or de
tign«d the introduction of domestic tyranny.
They have bent (heir principal and entire force
against the government, towards the svstem it
has adopted in regard to our foreign relations;
and. on this point, it is requested that a lull and
candid investigation may take place.
We contend that nrr government has acted
with integrity, im parti ally and wisdom; and
that, while it has resisted the encroachments of
the British, it has equally repulsed every aggres
sion of the French.
The Committee will this subject bv
asserting truly, that they are, altogether devoid
o! for ign partiality. We have been injured by
Greit Britain awl injured by France, it is there
fore the duty of Americans to maintain Ameri
can rights.
IVe arc ako, equally the friends of agriculture,
manufactures and commerce.
We believe that every citizen is entitled to
pursue the occupation which best promotes his
own happiness without interruption. We also
hold that curb occupation of life is entitled alike
to the protection of government, for that is is
oj th? £t’cat pnrpoies for which civil society
was established.
r.y ngriculture we produce the first fruita of
our soil.
)5y Ui<* la >onr anJ vici:I of manufactures trc
prepare and fit them for our use. The wool,
the cotton and the flax, become linen and cloth
Ily commerce we exchange our superabundant
commodities for the superfluities of other nations.
We take what they can spare, and give what we
cinsp-uv. The merchant become rich, and in
proportion as lie grows rich is a better and more '
profitable customer of the farmer.
Thus it is, that the agricultural, manufacturing
and commercial interests, instead of being rivals
to each dthe \ are nuiti: t auxiliaries.
The grcr.'est value we <”,ri sort 1 abroad, the
hotter for ourselves. Tn'-rca-e ti.-e value of ex
portitiorw, and you m y increase the amount, of
importations, or at yen: pleasure, increase the
balance in your favor.
The agricuittic.il interest may i-'’.considered as
orthem >«t value, because it lathe p-inci;>»l foun
elation of the whole. The manufacturing and
commrr'ial interests are n’so greatly valuable,
and entitled!, nati nal protection ; heraune they
also contribute llicir full share towards general
prosperity.
•her-»rr>r«, of fomenting a spirit of tea
lousy, nx'i. viva’.ihip, between these connected in
terests, we ought rathe- to evince their corrcs
p«indent value to each o’Srr.

res in his hands : olorrwi«« t(■; must, be obliged
to remit gold and silver, and dram the country of
that circulating medium, which is so necessary
for domos'ic purposes.
Hitch, then, being ottr grne-al idrns, we pro
pose to ^lie 'v to the satisfaction of every candid
and,intelligent mind, that the republican adminis
tration b is been equally friendly to our sgricuhu
r «l and commercial interests ; «ivl that it has
p rsue . a just, imnnrtial, and enlightened policy,
v. ith rerpud to foreign na.ions,
As it rsp—tx tlie interest of agriculture, no
s\ibitan*i»| charge has ever been exhibited.
Whatever measures secure the pence k increase
the general prosperity of a country, must pro

A single consideration must furnish a conclu
*;tc argument 'of die strong attachment of our
government to commerce.—At the earliest stage
of its existence, our republican administration
voluntarily abandoned taxation and planed its
whole dependence for revenues, upon commercial
duties.—Surely, then, it would be absurd to
irr:*gine tl at it rouUl ever be unfriendly to thsn
which constituted, by its own choice, its entire
support !
Again, it ought to be observed, that, instead,
ofevincinjf a hostility to commerce, it has exert
ed a guardian vigilance, and parental solicitude to
protect it. Had the commercial rights been aban*.
done.I, and its solid and perpetual interest* sa
ct i fired, catch the pitiful fragments which were
suffered to fall from the capricious bounty of bel
ligerents, then indeed, there would have existed
reason to complain. On the contrary, after the
incessant spoliations and injuries we have experi
enced, our government determined to tale a stand,
and lias, tilerefote evinced itself » judicious and
vigilantp-otec:or of commerce.
in examining the present subject, and per
ceiving the general system of the administration
fo have been disint-rested, patriotic and obvious
, Iv correct, it is astonishing to us that the misre
presentations of its opponents should have ever
produced the smallest impression ; for it is plain,
that any other course of conduct would have im-1
mediatelv involved us ns parties in war, connect
ing our fate with one of the great belligerents or
the other, or subjected the whole of our commer
cial capital to the merciless grasp of both, and
after we had been plundered and despoiled to
the utmost extremity of rapacity, we should hare
been despised and insulted, and finally driven
into the contest wlter. the principal means of1
supporting it bail been seized into the ha.tdt of the
enemy.
In briefly vindicating the conduct ofoiv- re
publican government, we propose to shew, that
its measures in relation to the bellijrereht pnyv
, era, were, in the first place, justifiable ; secondlv,
strictly impartial; and, thirdly, the most benefi
cial that could have been adopted,
i Upon the first point but few observations arc
necessary. Since the commencement of the fa
tal contest, which still desolates Korop?, not
withstanding the pacific disposition which nor
vaded the councils, and guided the system of this
country, we have experienced an incessant se
ries of rigor, cruelly, and injustice. It wa9 wise
ly determined on our part, at nn early period of
the conflict, to take a neutral position ; to pre
serve peace to our country, nnd not unite its fate
with that of either of the hostile nations.
In becoming parties in n distant war, hot in
volving our immediate interests, we should have
infallibly destroyed our own prosperity We
should hare become entangled in the intrigues
•md contests of Europe, and have exhilv’.ed a
pernicious example, which upon every fiture
occasion, must have endangered our security and
repose. J
We had established an extensive and intir-nto
commercial intercourse with both ofthe principal
belligerents ; an intercourse valuable to us, but
more necessary to them.
The strict neutrality of the U. S. was announc
ed bv a public declaration proceeding from gen.
Washington himself.
The world at large was requested to under
stand, that America, desirous only to promote
the happiness of her own citizens,’ and to main
tain their rights, had resolved to act with honest
impartiality, and remain in peace.
Natural justice, and the established law
of nations, constituted her only rule, liar onlv
guide. • • |
Accordingly, uniformly acting with this equi
table and determined impartiality, she never
granted to one belligerent a privilege that was re
tusedto the other; nor did she ever refuse to one
belligerent a privilege that was conferred upon
its enemy.
Adhering.justly, to the valid and reasonable
hw of nations, it never sanctioned, or even conn
tenaced a single contraband voyage.
Our commerce was impartial, our ports were
open, and our hospitality extended to the world.
Notwithstanding the justice anil liberality of
our country, the system of depredations commen
ced at an early period of the war, and has conti
tied with increased violence.
England and France have mutually violated our
rights. If the amount of actual injury received
fioni the latter Ivas been inferior, it has been be
cause her means of maritime injustice have al»o
been inferior.
Our mariners have been impressed and wrong
fully detained in foreign service.
Our vessels and cargoes captured and con
demned upon groundless and illegal pretences.
Ily repeated arbitrary and unlawful extensions
of the rule of blockade, our rightful commerce
vraa intercepted and cut off from a considerable
portion of the world.
Our own seaports were, watched, and our mer
chantmen captured at the first moment of their
departure from our harbors.
Our territorial jurisdiction hss been repeated
ly an I eh: meliilly violated, and our fellow citi
zens inhumanly murdered within the limits of
their native shore.
Finally, our country and our government have
been insulted by the attack of a national frigate,
unsuspicious of, and therefore unprepared for, a
conflict; and our public flag repeatedly treated
with the utmost indignity, even within our own
waters.
tinier i.ienc strong circumstanr.cn, and num
berless oilier*, winch it cannot he necessary to
detail, no doubt can exist but that the conduct of
our government has been perfectly justifiable and
defensive, and that it hrs furnished no just cause
of complaint to any other nation.*
Weshall now proceed to the second point, «md
succinctly shew, that the tn-asni'-s of the Ke
publican administration have been equitable ar.d
strictly impartial.
Those by vlioin the charge nf partiality was
nr.de, ought to have supported it by some suffi
cient, or at least plausible evidence ; instead of
having exhibited any proof, they have not even
shewn a probable viot-.v-' which could have caus
ed a predilection towards any ioreign power.
It cannot be lightly imagined that a majority of
the .Senate and I louse of Representatives could
have been improperly partial ; for they could
poRsrs* uu interest and no inducement to betray
the independent rights of their country. Neither
| could Mr Madison, when Secretary'of State,
have expected to derive any imaginable benefit
| Irom partiality. Indeed, die whole tenor of ins
i correspondence and conduct, establishes the re
; verse. And with respect to Mr. Jefferson, we
| may farther observe, that no plausible reason can
he assigned which can subject him even to sus
| picion. His situation rendered him superior to
j corrupt ion. He contemplated to retire from the
government, and could not therefore have been
j actuated by any political view or ambitious pro
j j'.-ct. His past conduct, hiss .lid reputation—his
j many veers of eminent public services, together
with a natural desire to retain the esteem of his
country, are once pledges atnl valuable testi
monial* of his fidelity. We further again remark,
that even the republican attachments of Mr. Jet
terson, ami those feelings which might have o
t her wise been considered to ari>e. from s. similari
ty of g" i crumciit could it'>t ba' e operated to pro
duce a French partiality, becaus- France lias long
ceased to lemain a republic. Hat it also injus
tice be remembered, that even at the first dawn
mgs «,f tb<* revolution in France, when the gene
rul sentiment of the people, and oven tlieprudent,
calm and deliberate mind of g» •. eral Washing
ton was favorable to that nation, a moment
when such consideration posse.si.od the greatest
chance to have operated, Mr. Jefferson, so far
from indulging the smallest hiss towards favour
itiam, resisted the improper p.etcnsions of Mr.
Genet, wiili the same talents, sincerity and ur
