S|B |
The production of Philo I ain in the Spirit of Se
venty Six of the 12lh instant, ha* fully Compensated
the public ihr your unconstitutional absence from
•'our seat in congress. Although I do not expressly
charge yotj with being the author of that perfor
mance, yet we perreive in it much of your genius,
and ail the malignity of your passions. The aeuti
ments it breathes Correspond so precisely with your
political views, that I am justified in ascribing it to
one of yonr bosom friends ; and. with some allow
nee between speaking and writing, it is just such
an invective as the world expected from you at the
present period.
To speak with discretion, your remaining at home
tinder the pretenr e of iorhsposiiir.it, is extremely
prudent. Your inconsistency of conduct had become
so palpable that it was exceedingly diffi. tilt for y, u t»
make out a plausible story fop your constituents ;
and, for once in your life, you taritlv confessed that
there is a point in politics at which imposture must
cease. Even the powers of yctir face -could no |on.
ger furnish a mask for the un^nrirus contrivances
a cunning ; and you wisely confined yourself to your
plantation, waiting like an unholv atheist, for some1
fortuitous concourse of political atoms, which might
place the ofF.irs of ii»e nation in a posture morecon
geitial to your spirit. At a convenient season we
shall find yon creeping fiirth from your retreat to
scatter tire weds of discontent am-mg the people, nnd
to wither the nerve of government. Such a com
men exertion of your faculties will create no sur
prize ; and must serve most admirably to illustrate
thejcomplexh-n of your patriotism. In the mean
time we are. it seems, to be amused and edified Ixy
occasional s -dies f.sim anewsp,per which claims the
honour of being under yourparticular patronageand
direction.
Y ur opposition to Mr. Madison, pre* iouslv to his
i £ < ec.t*<>n' w ,!i ,n'*rked by on intemperate person
, hus’ility. In the gratification of your spleen you
vml .terl every rule of d c mm, and forfeited much
u 1 r ' the character of yentleman.—
Hut you foiled in y> ur attempt to crush him, and un
Iv tendered lourself ridiculous. Y^ur sarcasms and
tour declam ti n wtre alilfe unavailing. We gd
mired v«ur eloquence, hut we smiled at your logic,
i u were considered as a spoiled child, whose mind
as weil as constitution had been injured by indul
t.eiit e, .ad whose temper was too irritable to brook
either ip ialj admonnion or reasonable chastisement.
I a gain yottr standing with the public and to prop*,
g te an hiihourable opinion of your candor, the first
art of Mr. Malison's administration met with vour 1
unbounded approbation : You bro’t forward and ad
vocated a resolution unequivocally commending the
arrangement made with Mr. Erskine, and, so rapid
ly li.tU you grown upon the esteem of a certain par- ■
ty. that the federalists on that occasion were volun
tarily your auxiliaries. The fervour of your new
born zeal for the president, however, waa suspected.
There was no occasion for your vote of thanks, be
cause there was no impending danger to the coui .irv.
It was the dawn of peace with England, for which
Mr. Jefferson as well as Mr. Madison had long sought
in vain ; a f ct which your proposed resolution to
the house of representatives tended to contradict, by
implying that Mr. Madison had done more than Mr.
Jefferson was willing to do ; and, as far as it went,
this was an eulogium on yourself for the enmity you
had manifested against the venerable patriarch of
Virginia. The republicans nnderstood you, sir._
They resisted with fortitude the malevolence of your
denunciations and the incense nf your flattery. In
the former they beheld the vindictive temper of a
disappointed pdli’ician ; and in the latter, nothing
but the cunning of a jesnit.
Indeed, sir, yon will ruin none hut your friends.
You calumniated Mr. Madison, and he is president:
You reprobated Mr. Smith, and he is secretary of
state : You reviled Mr Giles, and he enjoys the un
dimiuished confidence of republicans- Y' u espoused
the cause cl col. Monroe, and he instantly became
unpopular: You praised Mr. M. con, tW Ms politi
cul standing has become contemptible : add your se
cretconnivance with Albert G II .tin is already «m
nious of disgrace. So pernicious is the influence of
your penegyric, that, were I inclined to superstition,
I might attribute the failure of Mr. Erskine's ar
rangCment to the malignant fatality of your friend
ship, ostensibly avowed for that compact. From the
pestilence of, our appl use there is no escaping with
h-mour ; no refuge but in flight from the sphere of
its contagion.
1 her report of the secretary of the treasury up
pefirs to be* subject of exultation with yonr few ad
heirnts »• well .<* with the fed ralist*. It has, in
deed, sir, n..t a little surpri«ed the friend* of the
country and of the administration, that Mr. Gall*,
tin, whom y«urnewsp.iper pronounces"thegrea'cH
financier now living,' should iv't have been able to
produce a m^rr respectable budget of the national
resources. At a tune like the present, when the
Kingdoms of Europe appear to have conspired to do
us wrong, it was re turnlh to have been expected
that the boosted talent* of the secretary of the trea
sury would h ‘» e produced a system of finance com
menstir te to the occasion. The report which he
m<de is probably the. performance of one of his
Elc ks, and the public are yet to be aetonhhed. tier
It ips. with something more praise-worthy from the
r ilhful invention of the honourable secretary. Iam
loth to sus|iert this eapachy s hut if he doe* not spec
tfly produce some respectable evidence of his abili
ty, his talents or his integrity will undoubtedly be
juesti ned. It must be confessed, that bis official
estimates, during the embargo and now, give great
impe f< r the impeachment of his intellectual vigor,
tnd the sudden growth of hia private fortune is un
favourable to the supposition that he is the most dis
interested of ministers. When a secretary of the
treasury, from a yearly salary of four or five thou
»..nd, amasses in the short compass of eight years
the enormous fortune of two hundred thousand dot
«r*» *«/« authorised to empire how he has elect
sd it f If this were « government of England, and
Mr. Gallatin a lord Melville, there would he no dif
Sculty m accounting for the circumstance j but it
«mdd be too hasty a determination to decide, whh
»ut farther investigation, that Mr. Ganstih had made
iseof the opportunities which hit station affords, to
■peculate^ the fond*for his individual benefit; er,
hat hp stinted bimscif of the same opportunities,

xperience of the duplicity of Mr. Gallatin, tee
<nignt be deluded by your sophistry. But, sir, alter
rive collision between you and that man to dishonour
Mr. JeS-rv i, men of discernment have regarded
Mr. Gallatin with suspicion. You certainly Have
not forgotten the declaration which you made upon
the floor of the house of representatives, that th
tecretary of the treasury had informed you that the
firetident had attempted, contrary to law to draw
ivk million» oJ_ dollar* from the public ftune for a
•ecret purpote and you must also remember how
meanly the honourable secretary escaped from the
odium of that act of perfidy to Mr. Jefferson and
from the disgrace in which hr involved you b) m ik
ing you his dupe. It was perfectly understood .it the
time, that he .pacified your rising vengeance by sui
table explanations and ardent promises of future a
toncinrnt. He would h vt cHiyed you again, sir,
had not Ms private resentments corresponded with
your factious desims ; and you < we it wore to his
passr ns (h-n to his fidelity that lie has submitted to
congress a financial report w hich has palsied the vi
gour of administration and given colour and curren
cy to your own ungracious reproaches.
\our friends do net seem to be apprised of the ri
diculous situ.oion in which the- place .Mr. Gallatin,
wben thei pronounce him “the greatest financier
now living,” and yet declare that his last annual re
port “ is the faiie*' view which he can present of
the state of the nation." If that document is to be
received as the result of the utmost exertion of
his abihtes, I have no repugnance to dennun
cing the secretarv of the Treasury as the most
I consummate of political imposters. Whilst the re
venue from commerce was abundant, an accurate
°* '^e c'™m"r- rules of anthmetick was
suminent to enable him to discharge the duties of his
office. It was only when that revenue failed, that he
h. <l an opportunity to display the plastic powermf
Ins talents. .But what has he exhibited? Anextrnr
dinary specimen of financial genius, indeed ! A
choice of wretched expedients ; submission to fo
re's* aggressions in front; and loans followed by di
rect taxes, as the nnlv alternative. H .d Mr. Galla
tin presented a liberal -nd just view of the wealth of
the nation, it would neither have answered your ex
n.»r n ntjr lined nis mrhce. Lilie the
utterance of certain witty repartees which we find in
the dialogues of comedies, where the first speaker
»h made to say certain weak and absurd things in «*r«
«er that the second may say smnrt ones, the nnuhl
report of the secretary of the tre snrv h-ts been ti
nudly and falsely construct? ! to aff rdion anoppor
tumty of carping at it. When Mr Gallatin is
treacherous to his duty to corroborate your spleen*
you may be as satirical and as scrupulous as you
please. 1
There are curious rumours abroad that the ser re
taryof the treasury means to resign the pose In- • <
cupies. I beg you, sir. not to be alarmed >u- this ,ar.
castic report, I)e|iend upon it he will never leave
the cabinet whilst there is the ch rte- . r nation \
hank to be sold, ora possibility of de^r-v-ng the re
putation of Mr. Madison. 1 kt>- w the ruling pas-i
on ofhis'heart and should be ii - thwart ii; liut
1 will resist to the uttermost his endeavours to ruin a
virtuous President.
f*he situation of our foreign ' ffa i rs ari.es neither
from the imbecility nor fr/vn -he wickedness f ad
ministration. Candid men can perceive in the un
paralleled events of modem Europe the re ,1 causes
of our present embarr s-ments ; and vour own con
duct for four ve.rs past, has in no small degree in
creased the perplexities of government. You pur
loined the i.flections of the publick hy your artful
professions ■ t p .trintism at the commencement of
vour political career, and you betrayed the popul ,r
confidence when your country required the utmost
exertion of vour faculties. Your first desertioir of
your friend* was distinguished hy a peculiar intima
cy with a British envoy. Whilst your acrimonious
humours sought to taint the Character of Mr. Jeffer
son, and to poison the reputation of Mr. Madison,
your woundrd pride pursued consolation »n the cha
riot of Mr. Merry. Thecity of Washington beheld
vour eccentric tangent with surprise : But, sir, nei
ther the cheering smiles of an English dame, nor
ihe brilliant ministerial equipage of her lord, could
sooth tne xsperiu of your temper nor assuage the
pangs of a heart that raged fi.r the gratification of
unlawful revenge. What a triumphant day was it
f«i the friends of Great Britain, when you were be
held exh usting your frame to the verge of dissolution
b, a torrent of invective against the neutral ]x>licy
ot America ! The author of •• War in iJitgutte"
was from that instant freed from die labour of in
venting sophisms to overturn the law of nations ; he
found in your speeches the arguments he wanted ;
and the declamation of John Randolph became on a
sudden the theme of applause at St. James. Sir,
you have been the bane of your country. Weak men,
dazzled by the tinsel of ynUr wit, have been deluded
into the ranks of opposition ; cunning men, availing
themselves of the impetuosity of your mind, have
made you an instrument to increase disaffection a
mong republicans ; and foreign nations perceiving
the prevalence of factions and parlies in our coun
cils, have trifled with our honour aud despoiled us of
our rights.
*'>u ni'.ve grown extremely tender of the Presi
dent s reputation ; and you tremble for his fate be
cause you imagine that he is surrounded by a junto
^ n®.Pri"clP,ed'"diriduals ! Believe me, sir, that
Mr, Madison’s expansion of mind and fortitude of
soul are a sufficient security against the cabals of *ny
combination: He views with equal composure the
open hostility of Pickering and the perfidious admo
nitions of Randolph, Relying upon that band ofpa
triots who will never deceive him, he acts for the
good of his country and will cover himself with im
perishable renown.
1 congratulate you upon the improvement of your
natural sagacity. You had already astonished the
world with your astute discoveries in politicks; but
now is our amazement increased when you declare
that you perceive in the matrimonial connection of an
amiable lady with a member of the Buonaparte fa
mily, the commencement of a Frenrh domination
over the United States ; treasonable designs in the
resignation of his seat in congress by Mr. Nicholas;
and the entire ruin of our free institutions in the vi
gorous efforts of Mr. Giles to vindicate the rights of
the Country ! To corroborate the perspicuity of your
intellect, your friends quote your own predictions,
and in the true spirit of impostors hail you as u pro
phet, • Like all other false prophets you will, I doubt
nut,ende.voar to fulfil your own forebodings. As
to the means, you Will not, of course, be very dell.

ply gratified by incidents of unoti.er reauplexioit
which your chaste imagination has* created_—
“ Hoyle’s games, ordinaries, cross-roads, brothels
and gaming-houses, with the scenes of which you
appear to he so very familiar, afford vou gn
,scope
for vulgar detraction. Whilst Mr. Giles is
f'r his country's good, and steadily pursues the nkth
< f glory, he will not deny you the honour of retail,
mg.personul anecdotes at second hand, which yon
might have obtained in a more correct and authen*
tick shape from the mouth of his valet. And, sir, 1
can assure you, that when his country's welfare is at
at*ke, he will not *toj to resent the servile approfari*
un. of a male gossip ; nor retort, at any time, by en
quiring whether you go to bed “ sorrowful or «*.
*rror whether vour present ghastly appearance
has beeu occasi med by the excess of abstemiousness
or the ex-ess of dissipation.
I admire the facility with which you quote UiW t
It is symbolical of vour political character; fkr in
north you are quite a Cato, but in actions as great
a tyrant as tour abilities and power will permit yo»
to be. Whilst you are fluent in the Roman language,
you are destitute of every patriotick virtue of that
brave and illustrious people.
As you rail at the Smiths because a female relation
of theirs is matrimonially allied to the Ruonspartes,
it is singular that you have not discovered in a late
marriage of the general's daughter more immediate
danger to ihe common wealth from so clnse U ufhiu*
ty to the nobility of England. Can you not perceive,
sir, in the son of lord Mansfield, the germ of an
aristocracy that h to rum the American ennstituti
onsl I do not despair of seeing, at some future dav,
a very severe philippic from you upon this theme i
for, as you are of the lineage < { the prioress Poca
hontas, you will hardly, suffer any other dynaiti ta
reign over the land of one of your ancestors than
your own. In this you display a commendable afti
bition ; and your exertions to gain s throne convince
us that you are serious in the pursuit of it. If y0»
should succeed, permit me to recommend Mr. Gal
latin as prime miijiater. 1 know of no man so capa
ble of serving an Indian king. He has very few scru
ples of conscience, and is never disturbed by those
sensations which humanise the heart. Your ferret
acquaintance with the amiable secretary, will con
vince you or me justnessjof my panegyric. Expert*
rncr ought to convince you, th .t women will bestow *
thrir hearts their h inds where they please; and
that no blame c^n attach to the Smiths for a hymeni
al connection which they neither sought nor prompt
ed. AccusHtinns of partiality Co France have been
jt cnu' usly adv.-need against the secretary of ststu
and his brother, because the emperor of the French
had i-iiptu c d their property : and if this be a criteri
on whe e| > to judge them, how friendly ought they
to be to Great-Britain, considering that her cruisers
have lately seized in Asia several hundred th-msai d
<l .||«ra worth of their property ! And, sir, what will
even y.,ur partiz ns sty to the rumoured friendship
ot the Smi hs f.,r France, (a columnv which they •
h ire enj ied tn common with Mr. Jefferson.) when
they rend the recent official declaration of the secre.

hedistinctly states, that*4 property to a consider*
able, uount. belonging to citizens of the United
st ates, has been captured and seized by the French,
for violations of the Berlin and Milan decrees ana
“ under ether pretexts ; that in some instances th*
merchant vessels of the United States have beets
burnt at sea by French cruisers, and in others, th*
maemmtv of the vessels am) property has been
purchased by the means of bills of exchange
drawn bv the captains of tSe American vessels
upon their owners at a m te imposed by their enp
‘ tors, This, sir, is not the language Af a man
partial to the court of St. Cloud. And I must re*
mind you, that the Smiths have never paid the inter*
est of the Dutch Iban in hard dollars to Louis Napo
leon, nor promised Mr. Erskine that the carrying
trade Mould be given up. “

nor been so bold as to, weaken the tartness of your
[studied sarcasms. But let me solicit you to spar*
your friends. Above all, spare the teamed and pro- .

to proclaim that “ the manufacture of ouy ' lawn
