No. IV.
To the Citizens of Western America
THUS we find that the citizens on whom our government operates, may be divided into two classes—The first class in importance, is composed of the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer; this class may justly be considered as the substantial support of revenue, and of course government. The other class is composed of officers of government and their dependants, British and American merchants, certificate and stock holders, bankers and brokers. This is the virtuous band of friends to energetic government, who ought by no just mode of reasoning to be considered but as the servants and agents of the first class. But the natural and just order of things is completely reversed. The servants being invested with the powers of government and inflated with luxury, look down upon the real citizen as a second order of beings, and are incessantly striving to arm themselves with illegitimate power. The genuine spirit of a republican government, and that economy, essential to its preservation are absorbed in the fastidious display of pomp and shew—One instance occurred which seems, amidst a variety, to shew, how early corruption of principle took place in our administration: In the constant struggles for ascendancy, between the northern and southern interests, violent efforts were made to fix the permanent seat of government—As it was the temper of the day to idolize a single man, who formerly deserved well of his country—and as the influence of the contending interests were nearly balanced, a compromise took place, and all united in their idolatry of the first magistrate—To give immortality to his name, the citizens of America are to be compelled to raise a magnificent city. Just emerging from a state of slavery, with a heavy debt impending, and that debt a part of the price of liberty, we are dragged into this unwise measure. To those who reflect seriously on this subject, it will appear extremely improper, for an infant republic, thus to lay a foundation of a vast nursery of aristocracy and political vice.
Large cities, where they are even the spontaneous growth of a populous country, are evils of extreme magnitude.—They are the vortex in which are engulfed every republican virtue. They engender every vice that attends idleness, and furnish the ready means of gratifying the most corrupt appetites—They enervate the minds and bodies of those who reside in them—They are hot beds which may occasionally press forward a sickly plant—But the hardy, robust, and manly virtues of freemen, are found to be in the fields of agriculture and forests of America. The attempt to erect a grand federal city, was not only impolitic and unwise, but it was unjust and premature. It was a part of the consolidating system, and was, no doubt intended as the great key stone to the federal arch. But strip it of its decorations, and it is a gilded toy, only fit for the doteage of republican government. It was calculated to dazzle our citizens, and divert them from the faithful discharge of their more sacred obligations. But although it has become the seat of speculation and lotteries, with all that artificial stimulus, which the name and influence of a man can give, it yet remains a monument of American folly.
A leading trait in the conduct of our administration has been a decided aversion to extinguish our national debt—We have been taught to believe that a national debt was a national blessing—This is an emanation from the pure fountain of energetic government—A national debt with its appendage a national revenue, is the carcass on which the vultures of government prey. A national debt gives stability to a government, because it enlists under the administration, the virtuous band already described. A national debt is to a government what debt is to an individual. He who is destitute of prudence, and suffers himself to be indebted to brokers, tradesmen and servants, will for a time be supported by them—fearful lest a violent attempt to obtain their just demands should convert the debtor into a bankrupt. Those who are near the person
of the debtor, will receive occasional aids from him, and will hold him up to public view as in a flourishing state, in order to induce others to credit him. The frequent doucours which the ungenerous creditors receive, induce them to continue the debtor as long as possible. But eventually the bubble bursts, and the ruin of many is the consequence. He who would advise either a nation or individual to incur and continue a debt instead of extinguishing it as early as possible, gives them bad counsel. To possess property not our own, is to lead us to suppose we are wealthy, when we are in fact poor.
The United States have ever held their north western lands as a pledge for the redemption and extinguishment of the public debt. Efforts have been made to sell those lands in such way as to accomplish this desirable object. Those who patronized this measure were averse to having a debt hanging over us, and a continued moth on our industry. They were desirous to open a land office on liberal and just principles, to enable the citizens at large to become purchasers. They would thereby have not only raised an immense sum of money, but would have filled that country with inhabitants before this time. And they would have rendered it almost unnecessary to waste the blood and treasures of the United States, in a destructive war with the savages. But our administration, ever averse to the real interest of their country, have resisted every plan that contemplated the extinction of the national debt, or the settlement of the western country. To encourage that bane to society, speculation, they made sales to a few individuals of immense tracts of the most valuable parts of that country, and received their payments in such manner, as never to relieve even the common exactions from the citizens. Those monopolists have retarded the settlement of that country by their impositions and avarice.
When our administration were compelled to yield to the general voice of the citizens, who required some disposition of those lands, they adopted a plan well calculated to promote their real views. They affix a price on their lands beyond the value of the day; while lands of equal quality are selling for one dollar, they require two dollars per acre, as their lowest price. The consequence will be, that they will sell their prime lands at their price—But as the purchases must be confined to the wealthy; only the choice spots will be selected—And the poorer citizen will be unable to give his small sum and obtain a tract equal to his use—And as very extensive sales will not take place at one time, the proceeds will be absorbed in the revenue of the day, and the public debt remain untouched, and the lands unsettled.

ADDRESS
From the committee appointed by a number of the citizens of Boston to invite the President to a public dinner at Faneuil Hall.
Sir,
We are commissioned by a large number of respectable citizens of Boston and its vicinity, to congratulate you in their names, upon your safe return to your family and friends; and to assure you of the high respect they entertain for your personal character and your official conduct. To evidence this publicly and respectfully, they have made arrangements for a public dinner upon the occasion, at which they request the honor of your presence.
At a period critical and important as the present, when domestic faction appears to have conspired with foreign intrigue, to destroy the peace of our country.—When our constituted authorities are reviled and insulted, and the most daring attempts to separate the people from their government, are openly made and avowed:—At such a crisis we are excited, no less by our inclination than our duty; to reprobate openly their wicked machinations, and to declare our fixed resolution to support the measures, which government may adopt to defeat their nefarious designs.
To us, Sir, it is a pleasing reflection that at this conjuncture, the interests and the honour of our country are, in so great a degree, committed to your
immediate care and protection; persuaded, that this sacred and important trust can no where else be deposited, to command to general and perfect confidence.
Permit us, Sir to add, that, as citizens of Massachusetts, we feel a peculiar pride and pleasure in your being placed at the head of the union, when we recollect, that we have the honor to recognize you as one of our number.
May your health and usefulness long be continued to our country; and may its citizens ever retain and express a grateful sense of the benefits they have derived from your public service.
Benjamin Lincoln, Thomas Dawes, Oliver Wendell, Jonathan Mason, Jonathan Jackson, Stephen Higginson.
To the President of the United States.
To which the president was pleased to make the following reply: Gentlemen,
Your kind congratulations on my return to my family and friends, are very obliging. Your polite invitation is accepted with pleasure.
At this period, when in many parts of the world, disorder, indiscipline and disobedience to every kind of authority, fashioned into a sort of science, are vindicated as rights and inculcated as duties, it is not to be expected that our country should wholly escape their contagious effects.
Although many of our worthy citizens may flatter themselves, that calumnies and contempt against the constituted authorities will not make a dangerous impression upon a public opinion, which is formed with so much deliberation, intelligence, and integrity, as it generally is among us; and may believe the sagacity and conduct, with which the body of the people observe the characters of public men, and weigh the tendency of public measures, will be a sufficient security for the government, yet I cannot but be of opinion, that the profligate spirit of falsehood and malignity, which has appeared in some, & the unguarded disposition in others, to encourage it, are serious evils; and bear a threatening aspect upon the union of the States, their constitution of government, and the moral character of the nation.
The idea of separating the people from a government of their own choice can originate with none but enemies of republican governments. Such a project, were it practicable, would be a demonstration, that the people are not capable of such a government: and by a sudden introduction of wailing calamities would soon convince the people themselves of the necessity of instituting another form for their own security and protection. The decided reprobation of such nefarious designs, by the citizens of Boston and its vicinity, will have a great effect in defeating them.
The present age has furnished examples in abundance, of degradations and disasters, brought upon nations, by conspiracies between foreign intrigue and domestic faction. It will be happy indeed for American citizens, if they could learn wisdom from the woes of others.
The personal compliments you are pleased to present to me, are the more grateful, as it has been the pride of my life to be reckoned as one of your number. Assurances of approbation, in age, from the friends and companions of our youth and riper years, I shall ever esteem among the choicest delights of life.
Accept, gentlemen, of my kindest wishes for your health and happiness, and for the prosperity of the town of Boston, and its vicinity, venerable in our American history, for virtues and wisdom, as well as antiquity.

LEXINGTON EMIGRATION SOCIETY,
Sept. 13, 1797.
Report of the committee appointed to procure the current prices of such articles as were deemed necessary to be made public, by the society.
The committee appointed by the Society at the last meeting, to collect and report such facts as, by being generally known, might best promote the views of the institution have endeavored to discharge the duties required of them in the best manner which the short time allowed them would permit.
The committee has thought proper to report the average quantity of the different kinds of produce which may be raised from a single acre of land cultivated with tolerable skill and industry. To this they have added the present price current of the different necessaries of life as selling in the Lexington market; and also the prices received by several different kinds of mechanics for their labor—it is further proper to observe that even at the advanced rates enumerated in the annexed list, tradesmen can engage more work than they can perform, and that much work is left undone for want of undertakers.
The committee also give it as their opinion that the prices of the necessaries of life will not greatly (if at all) exceed the rates enumerated in the list during the ensuing year unless the number of Emigrants should be much greater than in former years. It is true that the last winter's feverity has greatly injured the crops of wheat; and that the want of rain during the last summer months will prevent the corn from arriving at the degree of perfection experienced in more favorable seasons. But when we calculate the abundant crops of the last year, and reflect that a very great proportion of those crops yet remains undispersed, we have every reason to believe that the supply will be more than sufficient for the probable demand.
To one other fact the committee think it necessary to call the attention of the public. An unfavorable impression has been made on the minds of many who reside at a distance, by a report which has prevailed, that the citizens of this state were rapidly removing to the Spanish dominions on the Mississippi. This report is notoriously ill grounded, and we can boldly assert, that of the great number who have, by the artful representations of the interested, been induced to visit that country, very few indeed, have settled on any part of the Mississippi, whilst the far greater proportion have returned, disgusted with the Spanish government, and with an increased affection for Kentucky.

ANECDOSE.
A captain of one of the British fri- gates, a man of undaunted bravery, had a natural antipathy to a cat. A sailor, who for some misconduct, had been ordered a flogging, saved his bacon, by presenting to his captain the following petition—
By your honor's command, A culprit stand, An example to all the ship's crew; I am pinion'd and strip'd, And condemn'd to be whipt, And if I am flogg'd 'tis my due. A Cat I am told, In abhorrence you hold— Your honor's aversion is mine— If a Cat with ONE tail, Makes YOUR stout heart fail, O save ME from one that has NINE!
