THE KENTUCKY ALMANAC For the Year of our Lord, 1798.

EXTRACT From Mr. PAINE'S AGRARIAN JUSTICE.
I HAVE made the calculations, stated in this plan, upon what is called Personal, as well as landed property. The reason for making it upon land, is already explained; and the reason for taking personal property into the calculation, is equally well founded, though on different principles. Land, as before said, is the free gift of the Creator, in common to the human race. Personal property is the effect of society; and it is as impossible for an individual to acquire personal property without the aid of society, as it is for him to make land originally. Separate an individual from Society, and give him an island or a continent to possess, and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot become rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end, in all cases, that where the former do not exist, the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore, of personal property, beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; & he owes on every principle of justice, of gratitude, and of civilization, a part of that accumulation back again to society, from whence the whole came. This is putting the matter on a general principle, & perhaps it is best to do so; for if we examine the case minutely, it will be found, that the accumulation of personal property, is, in many instances the effect of paying too little for the labor that produced it; the consequence of which is, that the working hand perishes in old age, and the employer abounds in affluence. It is, perhaps, impossible to proportion exactly the price of labor to the profits it produces; and it will also be said, as an apology for injustice, that were a workman to receive an increase of wages daily, he would not save it against old age, nor be much the better for it in the interim. Make then, society the treasurer, to guard it for him in a common fund; for it is no reason, that because he might not make a good use of it for himself, that another shall take it.
The state of civilization that has prevailed throughout Europe, is as unjust in its principle, as it is horrid in its effects; and it is the consciousness of this, and the apprehension that such a state cannot continue, when once investigation begins in any country, that makes the possessors of property dread every idea of a revolution. It is the hazard and not the principles of a revolution that retards their progress. This being the case, it is necessary as well for the protection of property, as for the sake of justice and humanity, to form a system that whilst it preserves one part of society from wretchedness, shall secure the other from depredation.
The superstitious awe, the enslaving reverence, that formerly surrounded affluence, is passing away in all countries, and leaving the possessor of property to the convulsion of accident. When wealth and splendor, instead of fascinating the multitude, excite emotions of disgust; when instead of drawing forth admiration, it is beheld as an insult upon wretchedness; when the ostentatious appearance it makes, serves to call the right of it in question, the case of property becomes critical, and it is only in a system of justice that the possessor can contemplate security.
To remove the danger, it is necessary to remove the antipathies, and this can only be done by making property productive of a natural blessing, extending to every individual. When the riches of one man above another shall increase the national fund in the same proportion; when it shall be seen that the prosperity of that fund, depends on the prosperity of individuals; when the more riches a man acquires, the better it shall be for the general mass: it is then that antipathies will cease, and property be placed on the permanent basis of national interest and protection.
I have no property in France to become subject to the plan I propose. What I have, which is not much, is in the United States of America. But I will pay one hundred pounds sterling towards this fund in France, the instant it shall be established; and I will pay the same sum in England, whenever a similar establishment shall take place in that country.
A revolution in the state of civilization, is the necessary companion of revolutions in the system of government. If a revolution in any country be from bad to good, or from good to bad, the state of what is called civilization in that country must be made conformable thereto, to give that revolution effect. Despotic government supports itself by abject civilization, in which debasement of the human mind, and wretchedness in the mass of the people, are the chief criteria. Such governments consider man merely as an animal; that the exercise of intellectual faculty is not his privilege; "that he has nothing to do with the laws, but to obey them;"* and they politically depend more upon breaking the spirit of the people by poverty: than they fear enraging it by desperation.
It is a revolution in the state of civilization, that will give perfection to the Revolution of France. Already the conviction, that government, by representation, is the true system of government, is spreading itself fast in the world. The reasonableness of it, can be seen by all. The justness of it, makes itself felt, even by its opposers. But when a system of government, shall be so organized, that not a man or woman born in the Republic, but shall inherit some means of beginning the world, and see before them the certainty of escaping the miseries that in other governments accompany old age, the Revolution of France will have an advocate and an ally in the heart of all nations.
An army of principles will penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot—it will succeed where diplomatic management would fail—it is neither the Rhine, the Channel or the Ocean that can arrest its progress—it will march on the horizon of the world, and it will conquer.
Means of carrying the proposed plan into execution, and to render it at the same time conducive to the public interest.
1. Each canton shall elect in its primary assemblies, three persons, as commissioners for that canton, who shall take cognizance, and keep a register of all matters happening in that canton, conformable to the charter that shall be established by law, for carrying this plan into execution.
2. The law shall fix the manner in which the property of deceased persons shall be ascertained.
3. When the amount of the property of any deceased person shall be ascertained, the principal heir to that property, or the eldest of the co-heirs, if of lawful age, or it under age, the persons authorized by the will of the out commissioners of the canton, to pay the said tenth part thereof within the space of one year, in four equal quarterly payments, or sooner, at the choice of the payers. One half of the whole property shall remain as security until the bond be paid off.
4. The bond shall be registered in the office of the commissioners of the canton, and the original bonds shall be deposited in the national bank at Paris. The bank shall publish every quarter of a year the amount of the bonds in its possession, and also the bonds that shall have been paid off, or what parts thereof, since the last quarterly publication.
5. The national bank shall issue bank notes upon the security of the bonds in its possession. The notes so issued, shall be applied to pay the pensions of aged persons, & the compensations to persons arriving at 21 years of age. It is both reasonable and generous to suppose, that persons not under immediate necessity, will suspend their right of drawing on the fund, until it acquire, as it will do, a greater degree of ability. In this case, it is proposed, that an honorary register be kept in each canton, of the names of the persons thus suspending that right, at least during the present war.
6. As the inheritors of property must always take up their bonds in four quarterly payments, or sooner if they choose, there will always be numeraires arriving at the bank, after the expiration of the first quarter, to exchange for the bank notes that shall be brought in.
7. The bank notes being thus got
* Expression of Horsey, an English bishop, in the English Parliament.
into circulation, upon the best of all possible security, that of actual property, to more than four times the amount of the bonds upon which the notes are issued, and with numeraires continually arriving at the bank to exchange or pay them off whenever they shall be presented for that purpose, they will acquire a permanent value in all parts of the republic. They can therefore be received in payment of taxes, or emprints, equal to numeraires, because the government can always receive numeraires for them at the bank.
8. It will be necessary that the payments of the ten per cent. be made in numeraires for the first year, from the establishment of the plan. But after the expiration of the first year, the inheritors of property may pay the ten per cent. either in bank notes issued upon the fund, or in numeraires. If the payments be in numeraires, it will lie as a deposit at the bank, to be exchanged for a quantity of notes equal to that amount; and if in notes issued upon the fund, it will cause a demand upon the fund equal thereto; and thus the operation of the plan will create means to carry itself into execution.
The following letter is ascribed to the celebrated Captain Brandt.
My Dear Sir, Your letter came safe to hand. To give you entire satisfaction, I must I perceive enter into the discussion of a subject on which I have often thought. My thoughts were my own, and being so different from the ideas entertained among your people, I certainly should have carried them with me to the grave, had I not received your obliging favour. You ask me, then, whether in my opinion civilization is favorable to human happiness. In answer to the question, it may be answered, that there are degrees of civilization from cannibals to the most polite of European nations. The question is not, then, whether a degree of refinement is not conducive to happiness, but whether you or the natives of this land, have obtained the happy medium. On this subject, we are at present, I presume, of very different opinions. You will however allow me in some respects, to have had the advantage of you in forming my sentiments. I was, Sir, born of Indian parents, and lived while a child among those whom you are pleased to call savages. I was afterwards sent to live among the white people, and educated at one of your schools. Since which period I have been honoured much beyond my deserts, by an acquaintance with a number of principle characters both in Europe and America. After all this experience, and after every exertion to divest myself of prejudice I, am obliged to give my opinion in favour of my own people. I will now as well as I am able, collect together and set before you some of the reasons that have influenced my judgment on the subject now before us. In the government you call civilized, the happiness of the people is constantly sacrificed to the splendor of empire; hence your codes of criminal and civil laws have had their origin, from hence your dungeons and prisons. I will not enlarge on an idea, so singular in civilized life, and perhaps disagreeable to you. Will only observe, that among us we have no prisons—We have no pompous parade of courts; we have no written laws and yet judges are as highly revered among us as they are among you and their decision as much regarded. Property, to say the least, is as well guarded and crimes are impartially punished. We have among us no spendthrift villains above the controul of our laws. Daring wickedness is here never suffered to triumph over helpless innocence. The estates of widows and orphans are never devoured by enterprising sharps. In a word we have no robbery under the colour of law. No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and worthy action but the consciousness of having served his nation. Our wife men are called fathers, they truly sustain that character—they are always accessible, I will not say to the meanest of our people, for we have none mean but such as render themselves so by their vices.
The palaces and prisons among you form a most dreadful contrast. Go to the former places, and you will see perhaps a deformed piece of earth as-
suming airs that become none but the Great Spirit above. Go to one of your prisons—here description utterly fails! kill them if you please—kill them too by torture; but let the torture last no longer than a day. I hope you call savages, relent—the most furious of our tormentors exhausts his rage in a few hours, and dispatches the unhappy victim with a sudden stroke. —Perhaps it is requisite that incorrigible offenders should be cut off—less it be done in a way that is not degrading to human nature. Let such unhappy men have an opportunity by the fortitude of their deaths, of making an atonement, in some measure, for the crimes they have committed during their lives.
But for what are many of your prisoners confined?—For debt!—Atoning!—And will you ever again call the Indian nations cruel?—Liberty to a rational creature as much exceeds property, as the light of the Sun does that of the most twinkling Star. But you put them upon a level, to the everlasting disgrace of civilization! I knew, while I lived among the white people, many of the most amiable contract debts, and I dare say with the best intentions—both parties, at the time of the contract expected to find their advantage. The debtor will suppose by a train of unavoidable misfortunes fails: here is no crime, nor even a fault; and yet your laws put it in the power of the creditor to throw the debtor into prison and confine him there for life!—a punishment infinitely worse than death to a brave man! And I seriously declare, I had rather die by the most severe tortures ever inflicted on this continent, than languish in one of your prisons for a single year. Great Spirit of the Universe!—And do you call yourselves Christians! Does then the religion of him whom you call your Saviour, inspire this spirit, and lead to those practices? Surely no. It is recorded of him, that a bruised reed he never broke. Cease then, to call yourselves Christians, lest you publish to the world your hypocrisy. Cease, too, to call other nations savage, while you are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they.
IT IS SWEET; IT IS CHARMING; IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
The words sweet, charming & beautiful are of peculiar use in sublimely vague dialect of sentiment, for by having no meaning at all in their application, they are made to mean any thing.
Narcissa had just returned from her evening ramble, when, to be sure she had had a charming walk, the moon shone sweetly, and it was a beautiful night.
Moll had beat the dog till he had raised the whole family with howlings. When enquiry was made what the difficulty was? behold, the fancy brute had spilt a beautiful pail of will.
Goody Trukle, if she could have walked on three now, halt as well as she could once on two, would have taken Goody Trot down cellar to have shown her a charming barrel of pork.
It was expected the speckled pullet would lay two eggs a day because John had built a sweet hen roof.
A connoisseur only would have understood the following:
Says Ned to Jack, don't you think this Miss Snip a charming little road? Not so very agreeable neither says Jack. You mistake brother, says Ned the dresses sweetly, her form is charming and the sings beautifully.
Strangers sometimes make gross mistakes.
Monseur had been in the country, but a little time; but by close application had acquired a good grammatical knowledge of our language. He had, by his own enquiries and the assistance of his instructor, found out that the epithet sweet had reference to the smell or taste; charming to something vneal, and beautiful to some visible object: and that it was therefore proper to say a sweet tastor or a sweet favor a charming finger, a beautiful prospect or a beautiful woman. With all this information however, he was entirely unacquainted with the more fashionable application of these terms, which alone can appologise for the following blunder.
His landlady among other specimens of her economy was one day expatiating on her frugality in having

Fatted a hog by the slop, and crumbs of her own saving, and concluded this beggarly by declaring that it was a beautiful hog. Monsieur told her that he had been in the country but a little time, had seen but few of its curiosities and that it would make him very happy to see her beautiful hog. Upon the approach of his benefactor to the yard, this paragon of ugliness, dilbance, and stench, accosted her with his usual melody, which however, at this time, hunger had made more sonorous than ever. There Monsieur, says madam is not this a beautiful hog? Why madam says he with a little amazement, I have seen hogs look very much like him before, do you call him handsome? But Monsieur, is it not a charming hog? Upon my honor, madam he does make a grunt exactly like our hogs. But say Monsieur, says madam, is it not a sweet hog? Sweet! he may taste very well; but by Gar, he does smell just like our hogs in France.
EXTRACT
From a History of Connecticut, published in 1781.
The town of Windham, in Connecticut, stands on Winomantic river, and has plenty of brooks, ponds and marshes in its neighborhood. Strangers are very much terrified at the hideous noise made on summer evenings, by the vast numbers of frogs, in the brooks and stagnant ponds. There are about thirty different voices commonly among them; some of which resemble the bellowing of a bull. The owls and whippoorwill complete the rough concert, which may be heard several miles. Persons accustomed to such serenades are not disturbed by them at their proper stations; but one night in July, 1758, the frogs of a pond about three miles square, and about six from Windham, finding the water dried up, left the place in a body, and marched, or rather hopped, towards Winomantic river. They were under the necessity of taking the road, and going through the town, which they entered about midnight. The Bull frogs were the leaders, and the pipers followed without number. They filled a road forty yards wide, for four miles in length, and were for several hours passing through the town, unusually clamorous. The inhabitants were equally perplexed & frightened; some expected to find an army of French and Indians; others feared an earthquake, and dissolution of nature. The consternation was universal. Old and young, male and female, fled, naked from their beds, with, if possible, worse shriekings than those of the frogs. The event was fatal to several pregnant women. The men, after a flight of half a mile, in which they met with many broken shins, finding no enemy in pursuit of them, made a halt, and summoned resolution enough to adventure back to their wives and children; when they distinctly heard from what they took for the enemy's camp, the following words: Bloody-bones! Wight! Helderken! Dier! Tetay! Now, in fact, there were three deacons in the town, named White, Elderken and Dyer. It was imagined, that an advanced party of the enemy, were calling to these three deacons by name, to come forward to sign a treaty, or threatening havoc and murder, in case of refusal. This triumvirate were accordingly dispatched to capitulate with the supposed French and Indians—and approached, trembling, in their shirts—"For God's sake, gentlemen, (exclaimed Elderken) let us only see his honor, the general, and we will consent to any thing reasonable; but I really think this is no time for signing treaties."
Tetay! Bloody-bones! (exclaimed a million of frogs.) "Well then, (said White) let us see your treaty, and if life and property are secured, we will put our hands to it, for the sake of peace and good will among mankind.—Let's have a lanthorn."
At this moment they found themselves surrounded, not by French or Indians, but by armies of frogs, making rapidly towards the river—to get a little water!
Such an incursion was never known before or since; and yet the people of Windham have been ridiculed for their timidity on this occasion; when it is not improbable that an army under the duke of Marlborough would in like circumstances have behaved no better than they did.
LEXINGTON:
Saturday, December 30.
Thursday last being the day appointed for the execution of James Swango, for murder, agreeable to the decree of the last District Court, a number of people assembled to be spectators—He was taken from the prison, carried to the gallows, and received the governor's pardon.
In March 1793, ten thousand rebels seized on Roche-Bernard, a district in the Department of Morbihan. All the public chests were pillaged, and all the public records burnt. They wanted to force Sauveur, the keeper of the records, and of the effects of the Emigrants, to wear the white cockade and shout, "Long live the king! Long live the royal family!" His firm refusal, and his shouts of long live the nation! Long live the Republic! brought on him the most cruel treatment. The three coloured cockade which he wore in his hat, was torn from it and a white one placed in its stead. Already covered with wounds, he was driven round the city, beaten with the flat-sides of their swords. They made him enter a church, and put a torch in his hands to make an honorable expiation for that profanation of the Deity, which these wretches said, had been caused by the French Constitution. As they were coming from the church, they again insisted upon his crying, long live the king! Long live the Catholic Religion! and he refused, he should be instantly shot. "Long live the Republic!" cried Sauveur. These monsters then gave the signal, and a cruel death was the reward of his unshaken attachment to the cause of Liberty.
DIALOGUE
Between a Miser and a Prodigal.
Miser. What, young spendthrift, you are as profuse as ever, I see! Prodigal. Psthee, old Mammon, look to thyself: thou hast faults enough to mend. Mil. Art thou not a fool, to squander so much gold away upon thy clothes, when thou hast so little in thy pockets? Prod. And art thou not a madman to wear such shabby cloaths, when thou hast so much money in thy bags? Mil. Thou wilt live to want what thou throwest away upon thy back and belly—they will be thy ruin. Prod. Thy back and belly call thee madman, for thou dost starve them; thou art now in want of the money thy bags contain; thou durst not touch it; thy gold has already ruined thee. Mil. Thou fool, the money in my coffers is my great comfort. Be wise, learn to live like me. Prod. Thou madman, learn to live like thee! I can but do that when all my gold is gone. Mil. Thou spendthrift! to how many persons art thou indebted, and how many duns hast thou every day? Prod. Thou miser! dost thou not live indebted to thyself, and dost not thy belly dun thee every hour? Mil. Thou wilt soon be in jail. Prod. Thou art in one already, for thy very soul is imprisoned in the chest where thy bags are. Mil. Thou wilt die a beggar. Prod. Thou dost live one. Mil. Thy children will curse the when thou art dead. Prod. Thine curse thee whilst thou art alive, and will rejoice when thou art gone to the Devil.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
REFLECTIONS
On an EMPTY PURSE. HOW oft poor purse in thee I've found La fin How oft in thee my wants soon found relief; But oh! reverse! what painful fears attend! An empty purse brings poverty and grief.
When the bright guinea glittered through thy side, And jingled sweetly to the landlord's ear, He dropt his crest, forgot his noisome pride, To please thy master was his only care.
But gold no more swells out thy silken cheek, And not a sixpence chinks to cheer my heart; Alas! I'm doom'd from miser's gripe to break, To where misfortune points her poison'd dart.
When full, no busy duns around me flock; No debts unpaid did e'er disturb my rest; I liv'd at ease, nor fear'd the sheriff's knock, For friendly guineas lull'd my wants to rest.
But now a train of ghastly spectres wait, To haunt my pillow in the gloom of night, Pale want and hunger hover round my pate, Where once was seated pleasure and delight.
Then go, sad purse like all our friendships prove, When money fails, our wants will reach no ear;
Then go and seek some richer neighbor's love, And leave thy master to his gloom and care.
A PURSE SUFFERER.
Magnanimity of a Corsican Robber.
A peasant, who in the most extreme indigence had become the leader of a gang of banditti, and been long famous for his exploits, was at length taken and committed to the care of a soldier, from whom he contrived to escape. The soldier was tried and condemned to die. At the place of execution a man coming up to the commanding officer said, "Sir, I am a stranger to you, but you shall soon know who I am. I have heard that one of your soldiers is to die for having suffered a prisoner to escape: he was not at all to blame; besides, the prisoner shall be restored to you. Behold him here—I am the man. I cannot bear that an innocent man should be punished for me, and I come to die myself." "No, (cried the French officer, who felt the sublimity of the action as he ought,) thou shalt not die, and the soldier shall be set at liberty. Endeavor to reap the fruits of thy generosity: thou deservest henceforth to be an honest man."

Wm. HARRIS.
To the Public.
FROM and after the first day of January, 1798, the Kentucky Gazette will be published once a week only, on that sized paper denominated Quarto , which is about one third larger than what we at present use. The price will be Three Dollars per annum; but if we should fail procuring such paper, through the inclemency of the weather, we shall publish on the present sized paper until Royal can be procured, with a proportionate deduction of the price to subscribers.
JOHN BRADFORD.
N. B. It will, no doubt, be expected that substantial reasons should be given for this intended change, especially as the principal reasons formerly given for publishing twice a week still exist; the following, to every impartial mind, the Editor has no doubt will be satisfactory:
Immediately after the commencement of the present year, printing paper rose one third of its former price; an event of so much importance to, and unforeseen by the Editor, could not be taken into the calculations necessary to be made at the time of altering the plan of this Gazette. Had paper continued at the price it then was, the profits would have been extremely moderate; but at its advanced price, the whole amount received for his subscriptions will not defray the necessary charges incident to his office. Nothing could have induced the Editor to attempt a publication twice a week on the terms he did, but the having more hands than could be employed in publishing a weekly paper, and who he was obliged to support, without a prospect of better employment: And nothing could have tempted him to continue it, after all his profits were swallowed up in the advance on paper, but an idea that an attempt to raise the price of his paper, would contribute to strengthen an impression then made on the public mind unfavorable to him, and against which, he was conscious time would be the best antidote. These are the most ostensible reasons for the alteration about to be made; and the Editor trusts, that in his connexion with the public, he shall ever be able to give satisfactory reasons for his conduct, when necessary, and a fair opportunity is permitted him.
