LEXINGTON; Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on MainStreet, where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) and Advertisements are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
Mr. Bradford.
FROM some accounts in your papers, it seems we are to have more Indian treaties, as one is likely to be held next spring on the north west side of the Ohio river. It is to be hoped that the commissioners appointed for that purpose, will be men of great abilities, in order that they may be able to take in the Indians, and conclude a peace on terms very advantageous to the United States in general, and to the western country in particular. I have thought of a new plan for Indian treaties; in the first place to inform the Indians, that we make a point of not treating with them, unless they all treat, and be accountable for each other in that quarter of the country: and that we make a point also, to have only one half of our people to join in the treaty, and that we cannot be accountable for those who do not come and join us. And instead of their receiving blankets, ammunition &c. from us, they must expect to give us five thousand patterns of deer skins, at each treaty to be held within the ten years to come, and as this is such reasonable terms, they must not think of refusing or treating with us upon any other terms: and at the same time let them know (for fear they should not understand it to be greatly to their interest to accept of our terms) that in the first place, it will weaken the white people to divide them in this sort: for instance, Woodford, Scott, Jefferson and Mason joins in the treaty, and makes a peace with the Indians, but Fayette, Bourbon and Clark will not join, therefore the Indians are not to damage the people of Woodford, Scott, Jefferson and Mason, if mischief should be done to them, because it is to be laid to the people of Fayette, Bourbon or Clark. And it is to be further agreed, that after ten years to come, there is to be no treaty held without the white people on their part, are accountable for each other, and the Indians likewise to be accountable for each other on their parts. But I understand we are to send some of our white people to live among them, to see that they
keep the peace. I hope it will be the criminals that will be sent among them, as it will be a pity to have respectable citizens tomhocked and scalped by such savages in a defenceless state, as our flags were.
An Enquirer
Mr. Bradford.
I HAVE read a piece in your paper of Feb. 2, signed A Frankfort subscriber .—Could you have thought we had a man of such abilities in that neighbourhood? If we were to divide them in three classes, first, second and third, or in other words good, bad and middling, our author must fall in the first class, (to wit) "good." If any person should dispute his having a right to be in the first class, I shall endeavour to convince him by the following quotation from his piece. "Consequently felt interested the permanent seat of Government should be there if consistent with the convenience and welfare of the public, and upon no other principle did such a desire exist with me:—to join my neighbours in a scheme also for this purpose. I nevertheless thought it wrong," now as this subscriber was interested in the permanent seat being fixed at Frankfort, he assures us that he did not desire it unless it was for the welfare of the public; does not this seem to be a "desire" flowing from a good principle? again he seems to be determined to join his neighbours, in a business which he thought was wrong, is it not equally plain that this must be a valuable condescending neighbour, who seems determined to join his neighbours in things which he thought was wrong? And of course we may conclude he will also join them in that which is right; if so, then it will follow that he will join them right or wrong. This good man that is likely to make so short a continuance among us, has in that piece conveyed to many ideas which differs from the ideas I had taken up on those subjects alluded to in his piece, that it is convincing he is a man of a very fruitful mind, he must be a man the most keen and tender feelings for his fellow citizens, for altho' he intends to pay his subscription when called on, without being compelled by law in a summary way or any other, yet when he hears the Assembly passed a law compelling the subscribers to pay in three half yearly payments, the amount of their subscriptions, and that the mode of compelling them, who would not pay without was, by giving them twenty days notice in a summary way; here his senses seemed to be "stunned, and for a moment became almost indifferent of existence." O! what a tender-hearted man this must be, who is so
concerned for our good; altho' he intends to pay up his contracts it has almost killed him, to find the Assembly has passed a law to compel us to do the same soon after it is due, which perhaps will prevent some of us in the third class from keeping the Government out of the money or property, subscribed, four or five years. I was of opinion the Assembly had a right to pass the law concerning Frankfort subscribers, before this author opened my eyes; the reason I had for that opinion was, altho' I knew they were bound by the Constitution not to pass Ex post Facto laws, which I understand to be, "a term used of a thing done after the time when it should have been done," and as the Assembly only altered the mode of bringing such suits to a hearing, I was of opinion they had a right to make any alteration in the mode of bringing suits to trial, even after the cause of action existed, provided such alteration in the mode was made before the suits were instituted; and provided also, that such alteration does not extend to change the law by which the suit is to be tried, when put to issue for final determination. If they were to pass a law, after contracts were entered into, which were to change those contracts by impairing them, or otherwise, it would be wrong; but in this case the alteration only extended to the mode of bringing the suit to a hearing, which according to my opinion, would only have a tendency to compel the third rate Frankfort subscribers to pay their subscriptions, in a reasonable time after it was due, for it could have no effect on the first rate, as they will pay off theirs any time when demanded, &c. If the subscriptions had been due to individuals instead of the public, the Legislature would not have had equal right to have given the subscribers a further time to make payment; but as the subscriptions were to the public, and the Legislature being the representatives of the people, they had a right to give such an indulgence. But as this first rate subscriber is of a different opinion, I may be silent, as I only claim being one of the second rate. There is another part of his piece, in which he lets us know the first appointment of the Commissioners were not authorised by the Constitution. In this I was also of a different opinion, and the reason which carried me, was, because the Constitution says "the General Assembly shall meet at Lexington on the fourth day of June next." And in another part of the Constitution it says "the General Assembly shall meet on the first Monday in November in every year, till the time of their meeting shall be altered by the Legislature;" now from the words of the Constitution I supposed when the General Assembly met in June last, it was a session
on in 1792, as fully and properly as when the General Assembly met in November last, especially when I consider the Legislature at their June session had a Constitutional right to have altered the time of the General Assembly's meeting, to the month of May in every year, and that in case there would have been no session in November, and as the Constitution says, "the house of Representatives shall, during their session, which shall be held in the year 1792, choose by ballot, 21 Commissioners &c." I supposed they had a Constitutional right to choose the 21 Commissioners, at their June session in 1792. In this I suppose I must be mistaken, as I understand the Frankfort subscriber is of opinion the session of Assembly at Lexington last June, was no session at all, or that it was not in 1792. Another valuable piece of information this subscriber has given us, to wit, that receiving subscriptions, to be appropriated toward erecting the public buildings, is a species of gambling; if I understand him right, he means when any thing is let to the highest bidder, it is gambling or gambling.
Mr. Bradford, I cannot tell what we shall do, if we should lose the Frankfort subscriber by moving to the western territory; don't you think it will be a very great loss to us, to lose so valuable a citizen? I will thank you to persuade him to stay with us, and perhaps we shall try to get him put into some office in our government. If you cannot prevail on him to stay, please to find out where he is likely to settle, that we may receive his letters to have them published in our Kentucky Gazette.

LONDON, October 11.
A letter to the French National Convention, of October 3d, exhibits the situation of the emigrants when abandoning their encampment as most deplorable—a great number of horses were left dead on the spot; the ditches, in which they buried their dead, were, likewise, covered with the carcasses of horses. In quitting the country, they ravaged, they poisoned the water by actually throwing into the wells the carcasses of horses. Their rage, at the time the King of Prussia gave order for retreating, was carried such a length, that they did not leave, in places which they abandoned, corn to sow the land, horses to cultivate it, or cattle to supply food for the inhabitants—their whole conduct fully proves that they consider themselves, as justly proscribed from the land of liberty.
This letter is from the Commissioners at Chalons, and concludes thus:
"It appears, from every information, that the brothers of the ci-devant King, accompanied by Cafries, formerly a Marshal of France, were at the head of the column of emigrants. They were known by their fury, and they endeavored, by the most infamous and mean hypocrisy, to introduce religion into their atrocious quarrel.
"We saw General Kellerman at Supipe, and found his army in the best possible order. Discipline prevails among the soldiers—they are full of ardor and courage, and we did not hear a single complaint, either from the general or the troops, who have mutual confidence in each other.
"Provisions arrive in great abundance, and while we see the fields strewed with the carcasses of the horses of the enemy, ours are strong and vigorous."
BALTIMORE, January 3.
A London paper, of October 11 says, the triumph of liberty is now complete. The invaders of France are every where retreating before the victorious armies of the Republic. It is no longer in the power of Europe to bring about a counter-revolution. We behold the French nation assume a firm character and republican manners. We see order return, and diffuse the
true spirit of liberty; their resources increase, and their armies tenacious of discipline. Unanimity and connection mark their measures of defence; and the confidence of the whole people in National Convention gives energy to their power, and success to their operations. Had a King formed no part of their original constitution, it may now be discovered, that the functions of its offices would never have been perverted. Even the friends of monarchy are now convinced, that the second revolution was unavoidable; and, that there was no alternative, on the 10th of August, between Freedom and Slavery.
LEXINGTON, Feb. 16. As the events of the French revolution must be interesting to every lover of liberty; so the success of the patriotic arms must be proportionally pleasing. The citizens of this Country, however distant, think nothing uninteresting, which affects the cause of freedom. They had received intelligence of the victories gained by the patriotic French. To rejoice with brethren and freemen and to celebrate their victorious arms was the object of a ball and supper given by subscription at Messrs. Love and Brent's on Friday evening the 8th inst.
The company was numerous and brilliant, their dresses were decorated with the National colours and the ball was conducted with the greatest ease and regularity. At 11 o'clock, the company retired to the Supper room. The decorations, displayed an elegant execution, with a taste which could accommodate the occasion.—At the head of the table was displayed the National Flag of France; in the field of which were these words "Le Convention Nationale" Sepbre 21st. 1792." In the middle of the table, was fixed a staff supporting the cap of liberty; on the right and left of which appeared the National and American Flags, the staff of which were connected with each other and with that of the cap of liberty by a blue ribbon, on the wave of which, in gold letters was this motto, "BY FREEDOM JOINED." At the foot of the table, was the American Flag, on which was inscribed, "Independence declared July 4th, 1776." On the top of the spear was the American Eagle. The supper was plenteous and handsome. The occasion inspired pleasure, and the patriotic satisfaction which beamed from the eyes of the fair added lustre to their beauty. After supper the company returned to the ball-room, where the cap of liberty and the Flags were then displayed. A gentleman, who is on a visit to this country, was so obliging as to favor the company, by singing the following lines, written for the occasion, to the tune of "With harmony and flowing wine."
Join every voice to raise the song, To Freedom festive strains belong, Hail! ev'ry voice, with loud applause,
Successful Freedom's glorious cause. Behold fair Freedom's flame arise, And spreading wide to distant skies Make Tyrants, struck with terror, fly.
The glorious flame shall never die! For Freedom shall, thro' every clime, Extend her rights—their source divine—
Proclaim to all, the great decree— That MAN was made by nature free. Thy Patriots, FRANCE, shall still be lung—
A great reward—by beauty's tongue And free men too shall join to pay The honors of the free born lay.
* The memorable day on which Royalty was, by a decree of the National Convention forever abolished in France.
With them let ev'ry heart rejoice— To them we give the applauding voice— Adorning History's brightest page, Their names shall live from age to age.
The ladies shortly after retired, and the following Toasts were drank, viz.
 1 The Patriots of France.—May success ever attend their glorious struggle in the cause of liberty.  2 The Republican interest of the United States.  3 The good people of Ireland.—May their exertions never remit 'till they possess Freedom, the right of all, the just reward of the brave.  4 May the flame of Liberty be immortal and extend to the utmost limits of the earth.  5 May wisdom counsel and conduct execute the measures of the French republic.  6 The patriotic Fair, who have honored the evening with their presence.  7 May savage barbarity be transformed into patriotic civility.  8 Freedom to every Nation in every age. 
The company then dispersed. No individual, however great his merits, was toasted. The great and general cause of liberty claimed their wishes—to it they drained the festive glass.—
Though the company was numerous and, what has been improperly called mixed, no disagreeable circumstance occurred to disturb the harmony or interrupt the pleasures of the evening. All was a joyous happy meeting of the Fair and Free. To the glorious occasion of the meeting no less than to the great exertions of the Managers is this to be attributed.

ADDRES to Greg Brufers.  STRONG Drink will make a man a beast, And make religion all a jest, 'Twill make a man a party tool, A blockhead, knave, pedantic fool; It makes a man unfit for good, Makes him do all but what he should;
Drowns and infatuates the sense, The worst misfortune springs from thence; Deprives the reason of its powers, The understanding too devours; Error in judgment 'twill impart, Hardens and steals away the heart; It fosters work of darker hue, 'Tis Modesty's annoyance too; It urges on to every crime, Discloses secrets out of time; Betrays its trust, forgets its truth, The basest enemy of youth; Entaileth misery on the race, It cracks men's credit to a pence, The rules of temperance it hates, It empties purses, spoils estates; It causes swearing, fighting, murder-- Perverting Nature's clearest order; Parent of mischief, vice, and pride; The nurse of Rape and Suicide; And, after all, 'tis so uncivil, It sends its votaries to the Devil.
