clothed in the garb of republicans.
' Instead of manfully discussing the
point, or controverting by evidence
or fads, the portions laid down by
Mr. Paine, we shall hear them crying
fi re !—age of reason !—look what a
long note he has got ! he drank all the
brandy in Baltimore in nine days !—
He has been exposed, pon m, honor,
(ahang-man honor) along with a mon.
key and bear in a cage at Paris!—
Such, American citizens, are the an
swers made to the authbrof Common
Sense and the Rights of Map, by the
satellites of king George, and king
John, in America. Am. Patriot.

« RELIGION is in DANGER r
This cry has been reiterated by the
• anti-republicans, it has been falfely
rung by the lories, till in fad it has
, loft the power, which it once had, of
alarming the people—After the expe
riment, the people find that Religion
is as well attended to and shines with
as benign a luftre, under the admin,
iftration of- Thomas Jefferfon, as of a
Washington, or John Adams ! —None
of our Churches have been attacked;
no Minister of the Meek and Benefi.
cent Redeemer has been disturbed in
his Divine funOions, nor his falar, ;
no fed has been oppressed ; —every
man enjoys the divine and conftitu
tional right of worfhipping The De
ity " according to the didates of his
own confcience"—in a word, Relig
ion was never more regarded and nty
verfouri/hed more in America, than
within the last two years—We do not
infer, that this is in consequence of the
presidency of Mr. Jefferfon —the Re.
ligion es the Holy Jesus has ever
flourished, where it has been preach,
ed in its PURiTY,from its firft promul.
garion—and we are assured, that it
shall endure through both time and
eternity—but to God the power and
the praise belongs— By this we would
40, infer, that evil Rulers are as good
as righteous, nor that the Example of
Magistrates is of but little moment —
we are firm believers in the power of
example above precept-tie fruit de
termines the tree- ——The Measures,
rather than profeffions, of men, 'muft
determine whether they be wife and
6OOD rulers, or whether they be evil
and imprudent.——But the Tories
mud try some other way to destroy
the confidence of the American Peo.
ple in the Patriotic JefFARSON, than
failing their breads and crying from
the house-to,, " Religion is in danger !
the democrats will destroy it." The
people begin to aft for other evidence
of the attachment of the federalifts to
Religion, than their bare i,fe dixit ;—
we cannot place very high confidence
in the naked prose ffions of men as to
their regard for religion, who have for
theic two years past been manifejiing
their love of Order and Government
by a systematic oppofttion to the Con
fituted Authorities of the Nation, by
a most unprecedented abuse of rulers and
a perversion of the best intentions of our
law givers : 4 —This is not the work of
Ra li g ion, for the Author of that has
commanded all men, that the, freak not
evil of dignities, but obey the " Powers
BOSTON, Dee. 6. The Tory federalifts
have the peculiar faculty of claiming an er
chfive privilege to calumniate & defame cha
raaers, joft to suit their own purposes. Tho
the Republicans do not approve of the man
ner in which Mr Paine treats the ex president,
yet this attack upon him must be laid to the
charge of tbefe who have so ouirageoofly be
set Paine before and since his arrival. When
a man is thus treated, it cannot be expeded he
will fit down quiet, and fuffer his enemies to
trample on him ; Specially if he has mental
powers Efficient to retort upon his adversaries.
If we look bark on the papers, we observe the
whole pack of fcrihblets rallied to the combat
fa opDefines to Paine. Every opprobrious
rpirbet has been feteaed from the English vo
cabulary to defame him. The common ads
of hofpitafry have been refufed him. Before
he laid a word, to raise this indignation, he
was represented io every deformity, to render
him dateftable. In this fixation, what bad
J he to do, but to stand up in his owodeteoce,
and vindicate hirofeif in fach away as he tho't
• most purgent? Being beset by foch a num
ber of assailants, he had a right to choose his
own weapons, and felea his particular an^g.
onifts. He found this abuse came from thufe

:therefore, thought fit to level his artillery a-
Igaioft the molt prominent charader, under
Iwhole patronage he apprehended they took

• man armed, and attacks the head quarters of
: the enemy. He draws up in untie array, and
; wields bis weaponeer foch diteatons as he
:fuppofes will most <ffe!iuaJy annoy his com
batants. If confute attaches co Paine hr this
ii must be cor.fiJtred that th€ federalift, have
forced him into the fi Id of controvert, ; and
if Mr. Adams is hurt in his feelings, he must
thank bis ,rm& friends for it. They have
; dragged Paine from his re irrtent b, their vi-
I oleate, and all the severity which hp utes must
Ibe placed to their account. Probably he would
ihave remained a quiet cirizea, if he had tap
treated with common hofpitJi, ; but wfitn
he found nothing bur defamation Mid perfe

felf formidable k> his afoilants.
The hypociif, of the lory lederalifts is evi
dent in their denanciition of Paine, for &bof
ing the ex prefi;ent, when the, read with so
much pkafure the letters cf Hamilton a^inft
him. This man is rarefied by them. T^ey
welcomed him to B fton, and gave him a pub
lic dinner ; and yet Hamilton is much more
fevcie on Mr. AdamOhan Paidteis! He rep
referred him in the most degrading point of
view ; impeached ,%t talents and placed him
in a state but little Ihortof madness or idiot
ifm .These letters rs Hamilton's were read
by mod of the high flying feds, and circulat
ed with celerity. They openly patronized
the work, and finally took every mesfure to
oeft him and introduce Pinckney. This con
dud thews the hypocrisy of this party, and
plainly pourtrays their real chara^er. It is
not because Paine has written against the ex
president, or for his bfijetiiy, that they are
opposed to him ;—Ccttoh Smb —the Right,
•J Man—ate the unpardonable fr>s ! and while
the author of tiofe publications is on earth,
every tw, will cry oatcrucify hit, !
We fay again, that we do not approve of the|
n##rr In which Paine has treated the ex pre-I
fident. But that many truths are told in his;
second letter, cannot be conhoverted. The
most lenient conclusion that can be drawn in;
Mr. Adams's favor, is, that he fuffered him-I
felf to b^ itaito by the federal party. He I
tup,rated them in most of their measures. an< 1 1
it he had not flopped as be did, the country|
would have been involved in the most diftreffj
ing iitnatioa. The ele&ioo of Mr. Jefferfon
happily prevented the dreadful cat: strophe ;
and if Mr Adams is now fuhj a to ceal^e,
lie has nobody to thank but himtelf.i
