LEXINGTON; Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on Main Street; where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) Advertisements &c are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
"He that robs me of my purse steals trash, It was mine, it's his, and has been slave to thousands. But he that robs me, of my good name; Takes that, which does not him enrich, but makes me poor indeed." "A good name is better than precious ointment."
THERE is nothing that can more effectually wound a man of sense, and character; than constant, and indefatigable attempts, to take away his good name. Not satisfied with open, and avowed, ill founded, scandalous and malicious assertions; but with secret envy, and corroding aspersions, covered over with a thick mantle of hypocrisy, still continue (even after silenced) to invent new, false, and malicious reports. Persons of such complexion, constitution and principles; generally possess no character themselves; and therefore endeavor to reduce others to the same level: alledging by these exertions, to reinforce their fraternity; and enervate the power of shame, magnanimity and benign exertions: and even virtue itself; that vice may be popular and the licentious reign with unbridled pleasure.
That I may once more dispel the gloom of aspersion, I inform the public, that on Monday the 11th of March, a Judicatory of the most reputable characters; delegated from the several societies of our community, will sit at Mount Zion meeting house; to receive the complaints, of those who alledge they are aggrieved. A magistrate will preside to take the depositions. My accusers will deliver to me in writing, their accusations with the names of their evidences; at least ten days previous to said meeting. Those who choose to honor good rules may find me accessible. I design to lay the event before the Associate reformed Synod of Philadelphia, where I mean to apply for admission the ensuing spring. And therefore insist my defamers to appear, or abide the consequence the law may direct. I love peace with all mankind; and justice with respect to my character, therefore I hope people will so far oblige themselves, as not to push me to things I sincerely desire to avoid.

L I S L F, Oct. 10.
The fire of the enemy ceased on the morning of the 6th, but they did not abandon the villages of Fives, Helemmes, Annappe and other places in the neighbourhood till the eighth.
They began their intrenchments on Tuesday Sept. 25th. Nothing could be more beautiful or better disposed than their works, and every one who had seen them is astonished that they were able to form them in such a short space of time. The batteries rose one above another in gradation, at the distance of an hundred paces from each other, and they were so strong, that fifteen thousand men could not have dislodged the Austrians. The lots which they have occasioned to this city is estimated at six millions.
Oct 16 The van guard of Dumourier's army is expected to have arrived yesterday at Valenciennes. The general is hourly expected there. The three commissioners from the National Convention, who set out on Saturday last to go and establish order and tranquility in Cambray, have not yet been heard from.
FRANKFORT, October 10.
The rapid sensation of fear has seized all the Princes on the banks of the Rhine. The house of Baden has taken flight. The Prince of Linauge has arrived at Manheim with all his baggage. The bishop of Spire has retired to Odenwald and thence has taken the road of Heilbronn, towards Newstadt. The commissary of provisions at Heidelberg has emptied the magazines in haste, on the news of the approach of the French. Many French families have taken refuge in Oldenwald.
N A M U R, Oct. 11.
Some people are arrived from the army of gen. Clairfait, such as commissaries, sutlers &c. They say,
that the troops have undergone the greatest distress, that they were four days without eating, that at last they killed, and eat their horses, and that if a truce had not been made, they must all have surrendered; out of 6000 cavalry which composed this army, not above 400 will return; the rest are all either killed, taken or the horses eat! The remains of gen. Clairfait's army have already passed the French frontier.
H A G U E, October 16.
The various successions of the French in Germany and Savoy, occasion a good deal of consternation in this country, and government is afraid, lest patriotism should again rear its head. Dumourier's threat of taking up his winter quarters at Brussels, occasions a prodigious alarm, because the people here well know that it would be only a step to proceed thence to Holland. Government consequently pursue vigorous measures against all those who are suspected of favoring patriotic ideas, and the States of Holland have lately issued an order on this subject.
B R U S S E L S, October 17.
We hear from the provinces of Namur and Luxemburgh, that the army of their Royal Highnesses Monsieur and the Duke d'Artois, is disbanded, as well as that under the command of the Duke de Bourbon, the individuals of which these armies were composed, are in the greatest distress, wandering and dispersed, without knowing where to go, or what is to become of them; many without money; others selling their horses, warches and even their clothes. I have seen some with no other covering than a blanket. A great many have got only the shirt upon their backs, and are wading through thick and thin with half a pair of shoes. All these poor and unfortunate men have got their discharges in their pockets, and anxiously desire to return to their native country. It is to be hoped that the French will shew themselves a generous nation in this instance; and that their humanity will lead them to forgive a suppliant enemy.
V I E N N A, Sept. 22.
It is known here that our conquests, in France, are attended with great difficulties, which were at first little expected. Should the enterprise fail this season, it will certainly bring on another campaign at a great expence, or we fear we shall be forced to make a winter campaign in a foreign country, where our troops will have no means of being recruited; we rely however, for that, upon the Russians, who will soon be on the frontiers of Bohemia; they are certainly on their march, and come by the Platinates of Posen and Kalitsch: Their quarter-masters were already arrived at Breslew in Silesia, on the 14th of the month. These troops are expected to be on the frontiers about the middle of November, and are so inured to cold, that they will be able to make a campaign in the hardest winter.

The inhabitants of Tyrolia increase their complaint against the several tribunals of that province. The exportations of the late Emperor Joseph, to this province, seem ineffectual; the smuggling of salt is still continued, to the great detriment of the revenue, and justice is badly administered.
Counsellor Groller is ordered to make a strict examination into these abuses, and report to his Majesty.
Oct. 6. The Police of Vienna redoubles its utmost attention, to watch foreigners as well as the subjects of the Emperor, who may be infected with the spirit of Liberty.
According to the observations which have been sometime making, it has been discovered, that those citizens whose attachment to the country was most depended upon, are the declared enemies of Monarchical government, and have everywhere endeavoured to make proselytes to this opinion. It is found that persons of all classes and conditions are in these clubs; it is feared therefore, that the tempest which must burst upon them, will be the more dreadful.
ROME, September 29.
In this place the friends of the French, are more numerous than you can imagine, and the people want nothing but a leader to crush the Papal authority, and rescue themselves from superstition and oppression.
Four thousand men were last week raised, and ordered to the banks of the Pyber. They desired to know for what purpose they were embodied, but their requisition was denied. However, having come to the knowledge that they were to embark for the purpose of assisting the Austrians to fight against the liberties of France, those citizen soldiers to a man, laid down their arms, and told their regimentals to the Jews.
The statue of St. Peter, in St. Peter's church has been stripped of its gorgeous and costly apparel, in which the Saint is annually dressed, in compliment to the birth day of his holiness the Pope. He now appears in deep mourning, lamenting the misfortunes of Louis!—The Pope and his Cardinals have put on sackcloth and ashes, and the statue of Pasquin is covered daily with satirical poems against his holiness and his friends, which in days of yore, would have been by the ignorant pronounced—blasphemous!
PARIS, Oct. 12.
The government at Brussels has issued an edict forbidding all conversation on the progress of the combined armies, on pain of being sent to serve in them—a pretty plain proof of the opinion entertained there of their success.
Notwithstanding the abundant harvest in Normandy, a scarcity begins to be felt in the capital of that province. Rouen has made a loan of a million of livres for a supply of grain, and the inhabitants have had an extra tax imposed on them, equivalent to a year's rent on which this tax is calculated.
A happy tranquility seems to have succeeded to the late violent commotions. Throughout the whole extent of the republic, every thing bespeaks the continuation of peace and harmony. In the capital, indeed, the workmen employed in the camp, have lately exhibited a tendency to tumult, and some of the sections have entered into resolutions to choose a Mayor, in a manner contrary to law; but these it is hoped, are only transitory alarms.
M. Manuel visited Louis XVI. the day before yesterday, and informed him that he was no longer a King. "I notified to him (says he)
the foundation of the republic, and told him, that although he ceased to be a sovereign, he might still be a good citizen. He did not appear to be in the least shocked at his situation.—Louis is no more affected with his lot as a prisoner, than he was at that of a King.
"I spoke to him of our conquests: I told him of the capture of Spire; of the surrender of Chamberry, Nice &c. and I announced to him, that the fall of Kings was as near at hand as that of the laws.
"I also told him, that every precaution should be taken for his safety; but that he might depend upon being treated with all that humanity which a free nation ever exhibits towards a citizen, who is unfortunate enough to be a prisoner." This triumph over fallen royalty is contemptible, and betokens a mean and ungenerous mind.
LEXINGTON, Feb. 9.
The following is copied from the Knoxville Gazette of January 12th.
On the 7th of December, a party of the cavalry in service for the protection of Mero district, about 8 miles from Nashville, were fired on by about twenty Indians, who put them to flight, killed John Hankins , who was scalped and his body much mangled; and shot one horse.
On the 29th of the same month, John Haggard was killed and scalped, about six miles from Nashville. Twelve balls were shot into him, His wife was killed last summer, by the Indians, and he has left five small children in poverty and wretchedness.
The Indians carry on horse-stealing, according to custom, without cessation in that district.
On Monday the 31st of December, the Indians drove off 18 head of very valuable horses, from Big Pigeon, Jefferson county, near where Richardson's family were murdered, and wantonly killed several cattle and hogs.
Lately arrived at Will's Town, nine Shawanese, who have passed on to the Creeks and Choctaws, for the purpose of exciting them to go to war with the United States. They are to return through the Cherokee towns, with an expectation of meeting that nation in full council, at Etanaula. They informed the Cherokees, that the Shawanese were determined to fall on the Chickasaws and cut them off, for joining the army of General St. Clair.
Mr. Printer,
IN your last paper the public were favoured with the performance of some man, whose sentiments and signature but little correspond. The talents of this writer, in his opinion so far transcend his competitors, that he doubts not he has rid his country of those troublesome scribblers. Impressed with the importance of the task, I shall venture to cast a first stone at this Hercules; and perhaps may so far unmask and strip him of his plumage, as to exhibit him as an impostor. To attempt a formal answer to his labored essay, would be ridiculous; for where no reason is, none can be placed in opposition; that it is the offspring of a man better calculated to handle a plow than a pen, is evident, as the ornamental parts of it are so rude and partake so much of ignorance, that the author without his signature must have been known to be a bungler. Under a popular veil, this is certainly some creeping sycophant, who to obtain favor with men, who must despise his talents, has ventured to condemn the free and independent discussions of his fellow citizens. Our author after having dispatched the Citizen, Coriolanus and Philo with an inimitable dis-
play of humor, and offered incense at the shrine of Magistracy, boldly attacks the Herald, with redoubled vigor he commences his attack upon this daring intruder on the public peace; and discovers his astonishment that any man should again enter the list until our Rulers as he hapily expresses himself "had acted so as to give us cause to complain." To a man actuated by the spirit of our author, there can be no cause of complaint equal to the attempt to disturb the repose of his superiors. The very ridiculous situation of the departments of our Government induced the Herald to join the laugh, and perhaps effect an amendment; there was nothing alarming to the Citizen or emigrant, they there saw a partial remedy for the evil; as it enabled them to find all the parts of Government with tolerable certainty, except the wandering Legislature; and this defect the Farmer has attempted to supply. The delicate feelings of the fawning courtier might have been offended with the humor of the Herald; but the independent Statesman and the man of integrity, are proof against squibs. Wantonly to sport with the reputation of a good man, is an act of so much baseness, as at first glance excites indignation in the mind of every virtuous citizen; but to mark the defects of an infant Government, to nip the germ of vice or ignorance, and to divert the evils resulting from false policy, is a virtue and not a vice; and the informed man who supinely submits to an invasion of our Constitution, deserves the bastille. To censure our servants (not our rulers) is the birth right of an American, and those writers who have performed this disagreeable task, deserve the applause of every independent man. To the more critical observer I leave the Censorship, and I sincerely pray, that period may be distant, when my fellow citizens from pusillanimous motives, shall cease to execute the office. But to return to our author who seems to dishonor his signature as he appears destitute of that independent spirit which Farmers generally possess; he has not yet seen any cause of complaint against our rulers ; an incapacity to see is certainly not a crime, but to endeavour to prevent even by the most flimsy veil, our fellow citizens from so doing, is doubtless an aggravated crime. To determine the blindness and folly of our author let us enquire of the State at large. Whether any violation of the Constitution has taken place, whether our Legislature have acted with a capriciousness unbecoming the collected wisdom of a nation. Whether a never ceasing desire to secure popularity appears to influence any of our leading Statesmen—or whether an affected and ill judged parsimony prevails towards the Judiciary? if an answer to these enquiries does not prove in the affirmative, the discerning faculty of our author must be inconteſtable. Let us now direct our attention to the new character which our Farmer has assumed; he humbly imitates the Herald and proceeds to proclaim, that compassion in his patrons led them to fix on Lexington as the seat of justice; amidst the blaze of wit with which he has enveloped himself, he would insinuate this is the reward for the liberality of the citizens of that place—but to the chagrin of his warmest admirers declares Danville would have been as proper. The Commissioners of high renown and mighty fame are officiously drawn into public view by our author. He has prejudged their cause and given his mighty sanction to their conduct—those men must execrate you Mr. Farmer for this rash step—you have opened a
fresh those wounds which they had reason to wish were closed; you have now called them to the judgment of their country, you have challenged the envenomed tongue of injured or disappointed expectation, and perhaps will have to lament that you have brought on your friends a scourge of scorpions. Our wiser Herald informs that the next Assembly is to meet at Frankfort, and gives us an elegant and lively description of the place, and the accommodations "it is thought" it will afford—and that the stagnant waters being all removed, it is "said to be quite wholesome;" whether he means the water, the pond or town, next Autumn must determine. Here justice to this rival of Junius, compels me in addition to the preceding beautiful extracts, to preserve one other, which for its grammatical accuracy as well as the novel information therein contained, ought to be recorded; he says "Frankfort is well situated for a town on both sides of the river"—to comment is to laugh. Behold the "baseless fabric of a vision," which our authors has exhibited to the wondering world; the towering edifice might be already supposed completed and our author filled with official dignity, occupying a spacious apartment and pouring forth incense to the authors of his importance—at one moment our writer anticipates at an early day the prosperity and happiness of our State, in the next, is in despair that his fellow citizens should complain about grievances which he supposes are without remedy. Unhappy indeed will be our situation if our defects are beyond the reach of cure—it requires not the spirit of divination to prescribe on the occasion. The path is plain and easily followed.—Electors when you again resume your office, select from your body, that man who approaches nearest to the virtuous independent and informed citizen, without regard to profession or calling—Reject the fawning adulating courtier;—the man who in private life excites your contempt by his vicious conduct, is equally unworthy your confidence as a public Servant.—Legislators in your hands is placed the sacred deposit, the Constitution of our State; to it we claim not as a matter of favor, but as our right a firm adherence; from you we expect a dignity and consistency of conduct, which will not dishonor us. Such of you as imagine, that to please and flatter your constituents by a sacrifice of your own opinions, is the duty you have to perform; you may be assured that contempt will be your reward. On the other hand a man who is actuated by a sincere desire to promote the happiness of his country, and endeavours so to inform his mind as not to be misled, will so conduct himself as to stand firm amidst the censure of the world.
