ON the 16th of April 1784, Thomas Scott made an entry in Jef-
ferson county, of fifteen thousand a-
crees of land on Treasury warrants.—
On the 25th day of May, in the same

corded in the following words:—

PARIS, August 22.
There is a letter in circulation from Buonaparte, in which he artfully praises the armies on the Rhine, with the view, no doubt, of winning them to the interests of himself and the directory.
The Censeur assures us that the San-ey, a diamond which Louis XVI used to wear in his hat on days of ceremony, after having passed through several person's hands, has at last fallen into the hands of Louis XVIII, by the probity of a Hamburg broker, who preferred restoring it to its true owner. —Sentinelle.
August 24.
Several of our journals have on the credit of the German gazettes, announced peace as being actually concluded between the Republic and the Emperor. But accounts from Italy, which appear entitled to credit, induce us to look on this intelligence as yet uncertain. It is unquestionable that hostilities were on the point of being resumed, but the wisdom of one of the directors succeeded in preventing a rigorous resolution from being carried into effect, which was entered into with more caprice than prudence. It is now believed that the negotiators at Udina have since come to an understanding somewhat better than before, and there are grounds for supposing that peace with Austria will yet precede that with England. The negotiations at Lille are, it is said, at a stand, in consequence of more essential difficulties, and more obstinate pretensions. —Perlet l' Eclair.
LONDON, August 26.
Yesterday evening arrived the Paris papers of the 24th inst.
The licentiousness of the press, which every day becomes more dangerous from the incessant warfare carried on by the different factions, by the means of placards, still engages the attention of the Council of Five Hundred, and it only waits for the report of the committee appointed to investigate that subject, to enact a law which may put an end to those scandalous abuses with which the walls of the metropolis are hourly covered, and to the violence of which each party is in its turn exposed.
M. Emanuel de Roban, grand master of Malta, is dead, and baron Hompesch, plenipotentiary to the emperor at Malta, is to be his successor.
The last news from Constantinople states, that the French manoeuvres which had been introduced among the Turkish troops have been suppressed; that more than 1500 French have been obliged to quit the city, and that the French ambassador is allowed to keep with him such persons only as are absolutely necessary to him.
The pacha of Belgrade, on his way to Romelia, had been attacked and beat by a body of rebels in the environs of Bosforag, 500 of his escort were killed—the pacha retired to Filippopoli, where he intended to raise fresh troops, and march against the rebels.
Tippoo Saib has no concern whatever in the late insurrection in the Co-tiore district—there had been some dispute between him and our ally, the Korjah Rajah, respecting the hunting of elephants, but the latter being the aggressor, the English commander refused to support him in an unjust cause in consequence of which he immediately entered into an amicable arrangement with Tippoo Saib.
The late capt. Newcombe is stated to have died worth property to the amount of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds arising chiefly from prize money accruing to him from his very gallant and active services in the East-Indies.
August 27.
Tuesday last, Fair-day at Jedburgh, Scotland, a multitude of stout young men to the number of near 2000, assembled, each armed with a bludgeon from different parts of the country. After having heard, read, and agreed to certain resolutions, peremptorily to oppose being drawn as militia men, they proceeded to the house of the person in whose possession were the lists of those to be balloted, and carried them off in triumph; they afterwards paraded the streets, preceded by a drum, but offered no violence. Other meetings of a similar kind have taken place, and we understand, to a still greater extent in some neighbouring towns—the Duke of Roxburgh,
in his way home from Jedburgh, was surrounded in his carriage, but no personal violence was offered to him, by the same party; he was taken ill, it is said, in consequence of the terror it occasioned him.
August 29. THE POPE.
It appears by the last letters from Rome, that the Pope has of late passed some time at Monte-Davillo, to recover from the consequences of an apoplectic fit he was lately seized with, and which, added to the droop in his cheek, announces the impending dissolution of Pius VI. Peaceable citizens feel the more uneasiness on the approach of this event, as symptoms of revolutionary commotions begin already to appear, and the moment of the Pope's death is anxiously waited for by Buonaparte to unfold and execute the grand projects he is said to have conceived. All persons able to leave Rome, depart from thence, to avoid being present at the catastrophe they dread.
Dispatches were received on Saturday at the office of his royal highness, the commander in chief, from Scotland, stating that some dissatisfactions had been expressed at Mr. Dundas's plan for extending the militia to that kingdom, and that in consequence, alarming riots had taken place.— These, however, there is reason to believe, had been greatly exaggerated, as letters from Edinburgh, state, the accounts which they had first received there had happily been contradicted, and that they hoped to appease the spirit of discontent by prudence and reconciliation. No doubt this spirit has been fomented by malicious misrepresentations, similar to those repeatedly made use of by a certain faction, to impede every measure adopted by government, for the defence of the country against her destroying enemies.
On Friday a cartel arrived with English prisoners from France; but in consequence of the resolution of our government not to exchange any more prisoners till Sir Sidney Smith is released, the cartel was ordered to return empty.
With respect to the negotiation at Lille, the most cautious secrecy continues to be observed, and though political speculation can alone supply the want of authentic intelligence on this interesting occasion, some of the Paris journals venture to assert, on the authority of a vague report, that the negotiations are now at a stand.
We are assured from the best authority, that the chevalier d'Almeida, the Portuguese envoy, in his late interview with the cabinet ministers, had given the most positive assurance, that the Portuguese cabinet, in all their negotiations, would preserve inviolate the treaties existing with Great Britain: Mr. Walpole has also received from the cabinet of Lisbon unequivocal proofs of entering into no terms derogatory to their connexions with this country.
Letters from Madrid of the 3d inst. mention the national finances to be in a state of the greatest embarrassment. The new minister was about to negotiate a loan of one hundred millions of reals. The court having prolonged their residence in the capital beyond their accustomed time, left it the 18th, for St. Idephonse. The Prince of Peace has received some fresh instances of the affection of his sovereign. The Spaniards speak with confidence of the safety of Cadiz from any future attempts of the British fleet.
The El Rosario, Spanish prize brig, of 18 guns, commanded by Lieut. Hubert, is arrived at Portsmouth, with dispatches from Gibraltar, and also from earl St. Vincent, who remains off Cadiz with the fleet, apparently meditating fresh attempts by sea and land.
At Gibraltar, they at length have indications from what passes within the Spanish lines, that the Dons mean soon to annoy them, as they are building fresh mortar batteries, and collecting ammunition, on which occasion the staff is removed from the town to the south preparatory to operations. General O'Hara has nearly completed the new works; all the magazines are treble bomb proof,—the works at Land Port are nearly completed. A new fosse, 40 feet deep has been cut out of the rock, from the inundation through the cause way to Forbes's barrier, and a bridge on a new model, is preparing to be
flung over. The Peterill sloop, with the transports, having on board the Irish artillery for the West Indies, failed 25th of July—the Nina frigate, of 38 guns, now called the Tremadryad, capt. Stanhope, had arrived to repair after an engagement with three French men of war off Cartagena. It was reported, and believed at Gibraltar, that a bombardment of Malaga was intended, when the necessary reinforcements from England arrived.
VIENNA, August 6.
It is said Buonaparte will shortly go to Gorice, and that superb Fetes are to be given in that city. The two fine regiments of the emperor's light horse as also eight battalions of infantry, will parade on that occasion. A sword of great value is much talked of, which is destined as a present from his Imperial majesty to the French general.
BRUSSELS, August 17.
Letters from the head quarters of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, state, that a number of threatening addresses are preparing there in intimation of those agreed to by the troops in Italy, to be distributed throughout the nation. The same letters announce, that general Hoche has written a letter to general Moreau, for the purpose of prevailing on him to participate in the proceedings of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, and to engage him to unite against the counter-revolutionists. The following answer is said to have been made by general Moreau:—"The constitution prohibits the armies from deliberating or interfering in the affairs of the interior, and I consider it my duty to obey it."
EDINBURGH, August 24.
We are extremely sorry to be under the necessity of taking notice of a very alarming tumult which took place in the village of Eccles, on Thursday last, the day appointed by the deputy lieutenants for the county of Berwick, for holding their first meeting, in terms of the late act of parliament, for raising a militia in Scotland. It appears that many of the lower classes of the community in that parish and neighbourhood, had imbibed the most erroneous opinions respecting the nature and operation of this mode of national defence, and had determined to resist every step which should be taken by the magistracy for the purpose of carrying it into execution. In consequence of this determination, a considerable number of persons assembled at an early hour on Thursday morning and went to the house of most of the farmers in the vicinity of Eccles, insisting that their servants should instantly join them and proceed to Eccles, in order to express their hatred of the militia act, and to take every means in their power for counteracting the legal measures which might be used to render it effectual.
In too many instances the servants readily joined them, but in others we learn, from the best authority, that they met with the strongest opposition, and were at length obliged to use violence. By these means, their numbers amounted, as we are informed, to about six or seven hundred, women and men, the men armed with sticks and the women having their aprons filled with stones. About 12 o'clock the lieutenants met in Eccles church, and immediately afterwards this body of people followed them. The business of the meeting was scarcely entered upon, before it was interrupted by loud vociferations on every side of "No militia! No militia!" A paper was then produced, the purport of which, as far as we can learn, was to bind those who should subscribe it, to do every thing in their power to delay the execution of the militia act, and to use all their influence to get it repealed. This paper was presented to the gentlemen assembled, and they were, by the most alarming threats of personal violence, in case of their refusal, reluctantly compelled to sign it.—Their object being thus attained, the crowd departed, but, not until some of the gentlemen, who had been so strenuous in opposing their illegal proceedings, had been treated with much cruelty and harshness.
We are informed that in course of the afternoon, the misguided multitude forced themselves in the houses of many of the leading gentlemen in
the vicinity of Eccles, and obtained their signature to the above mentioned paper by the same hostile and compulsory means.
In consequence of an express which was instantly sent to Edinburgh, a numerous detachment of Cinque Port light dragoons, arrived in Berwickshire, on Saturday last, which are stationed in Dalkeith, Greenlaw Coldstream and Lander.
Reports are in circulation of similar outrages having been committed in other parts of the country: knowing them however to be much exaggerated if not altogether unfounded, we forbear to enter into particulars at present.
BOSTON, Oct. 17.
It is computed, that the duties to be paid into the custom house of this port from the cargoes of the ships lately arrived from London will exceed 100,000 dollars.
Santhonax, was not prevented from landing at the Havannah, as has been stated. Neither will he pollute the American continent with his person, having already been at sea upwards of 20 days from the Havannah, bound to Europe. We think it probable, however, that he will avoid France, in his landing upon the Eastern continent.
The above intelligence, formed part of the contents of a letter from the Havannah: since writing it we find that the vessel on board which Santhonax was embarked, fell in with a brig which has arrived at New York, from Aux-Cayes; and as another proof of the "Ruling passion strong in death," the French rummaged the brig from stem to stern, broke open letters, &c. The democrat tyrant was making for the first American port.
We understand that capt. Rich from Lisbon, confirms the news respecting the affair of Tenerife,—the squadron employed on the expedition, it seems, made the port of Lisbon on their return for the purpose of repair. The object of the expedition was there said to have been the destruction of two Spanish seventy fours, which were laying at Santa Cruz. The making of this considerable detachment from Jervis's fleet, serves still further to degrade the Spanish character for spirit. The English fleet inclusive of this squadron was far inferior to the Spanish; and, when this separation took place, Jervis must have blockaded Cadiz, with about two thirds the naval force that admiral Mistrade commanded within the harbour; which blockade continued to the time captain Rich failed from Lisbon. In addition to this intelligence, capt. Rich states, that Jarvis, possibly in atonement for his conduct in the West Indies, has offered to convey any American vessel into the Mediterranean, that will sail in with his fleet previous to entering the Straights. Reports were current at Lisbon, that col. Humphreys, our minister plenipotentiary to the Spanish court, was treated rather indecently, on his arrival in the Spanish territory, his baggage being detained and examined by the officers of the customs.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 27.
By the Schooner William and Henry, capt. Butler, from Antigua, we are informed that the Lapwing and Thames frigates, had taken and carried into that island in the months of September last, twenty five sail of French privateers, from six to twenty guns, and that one of the frigates brought in, on one day, three of them, a ship of 20 guns, a Schooner of 16, and a sloop of 12—at first she took the Schooner, maned her, sent her in pursuit of the sloop, and went in chase of the ship.
PHILADELPHIA, October 23.
A London paper in descending on the Revolution of Empires, expresses the following opinion. "Whether it is said to mankind, you are equal, free, and sovereign, we may expect to see the ties of subordination broken and the rights of property destroyed; whenever the mounds are broken down that restrain the multitude, they become rebellious and seditious!" &c.
In the year 1775, the first Congress, who possessed the entire confidence of the thirteen states said to the people "you are free, equal and sovereign"—and yet who has seen in this country subordination destroyed, the rights of property invaded, or the people seditious, or rebellious. With regard to equality, the English writer must have had his head full of the leveling

system, which was never contemplated by America France or any other free government on earth: the levelling system belongs clearly to monarchical powers where a whole people are levelled into the dust, in order to support an animal called a king, a court, a navy, &c. &c. &c. the leeches of their blood and labours. The English writer's remarks can only have a just reference to such nations as have been bent down for a long time under the severest pressure of tyranny; these indeed in the moment of a revolution, when human nature has suffered so long that it is convulsed into madness will for a time assume an aspect of ferocity; but this is wholly imputable to the tyrant that rendered them desperate.
November 3.
The several Officers of the treasury Department are returned to the city, and again opened at the usual places. As also those of the War department.
RICHMOND, October 25.
Yesterday was decided, in the court of appeals, the case of M c Call against Turner; in which the judges gave an opinion upon several points; and among others upon the great question, whether interest be demandable for the time of the revolutionary war, upon a bond which was originally due to a person, who was absent, during the war, in the British dominions, and which continued to be due to him. The sentiments, then delivered by the court, will bear the test of the severest discussions, and did great honor to the judges, who sat in the cause. They concurred in the judgment, that interest was not demandable for the period of the war.
It is a great blessing to our country, that Mr. Pendleton who has passed his seventy fifth year, still manifests the same perspicuity, vigour of mind, comprehension and power of argument, for which he has been always distinguished. Long may he, and his illustrious fellow labourer in jurisprudence, Wyth, be exceptions, as they now are, to the supposition contained in the constitution of New-York, that after the age of sixty years, no man can be fit for a seat on a judicial bench.
October 26, 1797.
CINCINNATI, November 11.
We are informed from indubitable authority. That the idea of establishing a post on the Mississippi, in the vicinity of Kaskaskias is given up, in consequence of tranquillity's being restored in that quarter; That the ringleaders of the insurrection have been taken and bound to appear before the district court; That general Wilkinson proceeded but about 40 miles from Fort Wayne, down the Wabash; That the general will be shortly at Logans on his way to Pittsburgh; That a company of troops were on their way to Massac, and will embark on the Ohio at Pittsburgh.
We mentioned a few weeks since, a report that Fort Recovery was burnt by the Indians—we are now able to assert by authority, that it is a fact—the stores it was said to have contained, were of little or no value, such as old gun-barrels, entrenching utensils, &c.

FROM THE TIME PIECE.
First chapter of the third book of Chronicles.
Now it came to pass, that in the twenty and fifth year after the people had come out of the house of bondage, that they waxed very fat, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
And the rich men did take counsel together that they might bring talk-masters again over the people; for they were very fearful, seeing they had great possessions.
And when they had spoken often one to another, they searched diligently for a man in whom they could confide.
And in order that they might be able to carry their plan into execution, they all with one voice made choice of JONATHAN.
Now this JONATHAN was a comely person, of good stature, and had formerly been beloved by the people, forasmuch as he had joined in limiting the power of the oppressor.
And did cross the sea in order to promote a good understanding with the nations of the earth.
And that they might not be wanting in gratitude, they had elected him to the second place in their government.
But his heart became lifted up, and having amassed a great deal of wealth he longed for the purple and fine linen of Egypt; and wrote and spoke in praise of their former tyranny.
And the people were greatly vexed thereat, and agreed that he should no longer bear rule among them.
But the rich men did prevail, for they had silver and gold in abundance, and JONATHAN was chosen chief magistrate.
And when the time came for him to harangue the multitude, he made choice of words that were pleasing to their ears, in order that he might thereby gain their affections.
And the people became delighted therewith, forasmuch as they had never such comfortable words spoken to them before.
And after he had thus lulled them into security, he threw off the mask, and called the head men together, and did talk to them of war, and fighting and banding arms, in order that he might thereby oppress the people, and make himself a king.
And they swallowed with avidity every thing that dropped from his mouth, for the greater part were devoted to him.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled, and he sent the pestilence among them, and great numbers died thereof.
But JONATHAN fasted not, neither did he humble himself, nor offer supplication for the people.
And he fled from the presence of the Lord, for his offences were very great, and he feared to die exceedingly.
And his way lying through villa-
ges, the inhabitants thereof did go forth to meet him with trumpets and with cymbals, and with stringed instruments.
For they feared to offend the man, albeit they hated him in their hearts.
And he hardened his heart, and took unto himself divine honors, and sojourned in many places, that he might receive adulation.
Now the rest of the acts of JONATHAN—how he was worshipped, and the great feat that he made, behold they are written in the book of records kept by NOAH the seer.

FROM THE DESK OF BERT HESDIN.
Hear—for I will speak of excellent things.
The man must be a simpling indeed who will not listen.
Is it not wisdom that crieth—and understanding that putteth forth her voice? Beri Heshin tells you—she is this very moment on the top of high places; calling aloud to the crazy politician, stupid state's man, weeping speculator, broken merchant, ragged spendthrift, and groaning debauchee—turn to her; and I will pour oil and wine into your wounds; give you riches more durable than time, and maidens whose pleasures increase with possession.
What a generous soul! And will ye not turn to her, ye wayward fools; but still push on, heels over head, in pursuit of lands in the Moon, and the shadow of phantoms? Do glittering bubbles will deceive him that travelleth at noon-day? And are the great men of the earth still disputing about non-entities and quiddities—while the rich feast of fair-a-maiden is past and neglected?
Come in ye, who lack understanding; whose brains are like a reed shaken by the wind, and your repair shall be as the manna of Heaven, which will ennoble human nature, and restore man to the likeness of the Deity; your drink will be wine drawn from the fountain of perfection, and pressed from grapes plucked from the garden of Paradise; which will purify the soul and elevate the heart, to ameliorate the passions, and operate on the bodily eye, that the vale of life will appear a beautiful passage to the temple of God.
By the spirit of insanity!—they have all passed by on the other side, as if some infernal fiend was seeking to devour them; except a few poor wretches without a shirt to their backs; and a miserable gray headed Jew, who is limping to the grave with a large pack of sins and spoilt wares on his back—By Heavens the world is mad. "Hand me my Almanac, John; for I am positive the Sun is vertical, or the tail of some curled Comet has turned mens brains!"
While John is hunting for the Almanac, we will just inform those poor shuttles wretches, that Wisdom hath killed her beast; she hath mingled her wine; she hath furnished her table and made all things ready to receive you. But before you set down to this rich repast, it will be well for you to consider the following instructions. Read them, observe them—for these are her excellent things.
Hast thou but two pence in the world—carefully tie up one penny in the rag of prudence, and make the other go as far as you can. So shalt thou prosper in the days of scarcity and ill health. But if thou spendest thy two pence, what canst thou do on the morrow, should no man say unto thee—"get into my vineyard;" or should that frightful visitant, Disease, knock at thy door, remember, he that gathereth in Summer is a wise son. Yet let not thy getting be increased by the distresses of thy neighbor, for, if thou dost, may the curses of eternal poverty crown thee with madness.
Have thy garments waxed old, and do the chill winds drive through the shattered tenement? Calculate how much is in thy purse, and how much thou owest. Pay thy debts, then lay by something for to-morrow; and if thou hast wherewithal remaining, send for thy taylor and joiner, open to them thy wants, and let them with chalk and board, sum up the quantum sufficit; make them give their conditions on paper, and then, but not till then, let the sound of the hammer and shears be heard within thy walls. Let thy careless neighbor call thee a close-fisted fellow, and the spendthrift
damn thee for a miser; let it be thy concern to hoe thy corn and potatoes, to gather thy grain in harvest and thy fruits in the season thereof. Then wilt thou have wherewithal to nourish thine own household, and feed the wayfaring beggar. Thy scoffers will be glad ere long, to eat the offals of thy table, and gather up what crumbs fall beneath the feet of industry; for idleness will make pride crouch like an ass with heavy burthen.
Art thou alone man? and thinkest thou that two are better than one? Then let thine eyes be attracted by her, who throweth the shuttle; who seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands. For she will be better unto thee than checks on the bank, or ships laden from the East.
Perhaps thou art fond of high life; takest pleasure in dress and equipage; delighteth in rattling china and decanters; hast an ear for dice, ace, and the thrum of a fiddle? Then get thee into the highways of the city; contract large debts with dealers in trinkets; neglect to pay thy taylor's, butcher's servant's and all other bills, except gambling. Spend thy days in drowziness and idleness, thy evenings in laughter, parade and nonsense; until Monsieur Catchpole leads thee gently by the hand, to the damp cell of a prison, where thou mayst groan in the gall of bondage, and shed two tears for every penny thou hast foolishly spent. Learn humility from four bread, stale water; industry from the spiders, that weave the canopy of thy straw; compassion from the cool breeze, which, which will at times steal between the iron gratings of thy window; and a love of order and rectitude from thine own sufferings.

SCRAPS.
It is remarkable that the number six has ever been fatal to Rome. The misfortune of the present Pope. Ius Sex-tus, remind us of the dilich which was made on Alexander the sixth; and though Pius does not deserve to be classed with the princes mentioned in it, yet the fact of the ruin of Rome under his pontificate is undoubted.
Sextus Tarquinius, Sextus Nero, Sextus et iste; Semper sub sextis Per-dita Roma fuit.
Balzac, in his Aristippus, gives an account of a judge of one of the parliaments, who was of true Robespierrean principles, and condemned to decapitation every one who was unfortunate enough to fall under his judicature. Having dropt asleep one day, the president awakened him to ask his opinion—"Cut off his head," said the drowsy lawyer. "His head!" said the president; "you mistake; the question relates to a meadow." "Why, then mow it," replied the judge.
The clerks of the several district, Quarter Session, and County courts within this commonwealth are requested to meet at Frankfort, on the second Thursday in December next, on business of importance.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE NEGRO BOY.
An African Prince, on his arrival in England, being asked what he had given for his watch, answered, "What I will never give again—I gave a fine boy"
WHEN avarice enslaves the mind, And selfish views alone bear sway. Man turns a savage to his kind, And blood and rapine mark his way. Alas! for this poor simple toy, I sold a blooming negro boy.
His father's hope, his mother's pride, Tho' black, yet comely to the view; I tore him helpless from their side, And gave him to a ruffian crew: To fiends that Afric's coast annoy, I sold the blooming negro boy.
From country, friends, and parents turn, His tender limbs in chains confin'd; I saw him o'er the billows borne, And mark'd his agony of mind. But still, to gain this simple toy, I gave away the negro boy.
In isles that deck the western wave, I doom'd the hapless youth to dwell; A poor, forlorn, insulted slave, A deal that Christians buy and sell; And in their cruel tasks employ The much enduring negro boy.
His wretched parents long shall mourn, Shall long explore the distant main, In hopes to see the youth return, But all their hopes and sighs are vain. They never shall the sight enjoy Of their lamented negro boy.
Beneath a tyrant's harsh command, He wears away his youthful prime, Far distant from his native land, A stranger in a foreign clime. No pleasing thoughts his mind employ, A poor dejected negro boy.
But he, who walks upon the wind, Whole voice in thunder's heard on high; Who doth the raging tempest bind, Or wings the light'ning thro' the sky; In his own time will sure destroy The oppressors of a negro boy.
ANECDOOTE.
A Clergyman, who in the Matrimonial Lottery had drawn much worse than a Blank, and without the patience of Socrates, had to encounter the turbulent spirit of Xantippe, was interrupted in the middle of a Curtain lecture, by the arrival of a pair, requesting his assistance to introduce them to the blessed state of wedlock. The poor priest, agitated at the moment by his own feelings and particular experiences, rather than a sense of canonical duty, opened the book and began, "Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of trouble," &c. repeating the burial service. The astonished bridegroom exclaimed, "Sir, Sir, you mistake: I came here to be married, not buried!" Well, replied the clergyman, if you insist on it, I am obliged to marry you; but believe me, my friend, you had better be buried.

The public, I presume, has been a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass un-resisted, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me.—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people,—they hardly say they have an intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.
