The Kentucky gazette (Lexington [Ky.]), 1798-09-05 00:00:00

IN Freeman's Journal, number 7, of volume 3, I beheld a long sophistical address, said to be delivered at a meeting of a number of the inhabitants of Bourbon county, on the 4th of July last.
I shall not follow this author thro' all his erroneous statements, and ingenious, artful, well polished quibbles. I shall only take notice of a few of his first sentences, and also of the preface to said address, in order fully to prove the fallaciousness thereof.
The author begins, saying "It is not my intention to inflame your minds in favor of an unnecessary war; war is dreadful in its consequences. Thousands of Widows and fatherless children are left to share and deplore the unhappy fate which follows: but I wish to unite your minds, in order that we may awe the nations of the earth, and in case of an invasion, we may drive every foe whatever, from our borders. France hath made it her boast that we are a divided people." This author would endeavor to persuade us that he is an exceedingly tender-hearted person; he deplores the dreadful consequences of war; he pities the poor widows and fatherless—but all this must be done "that we may awe the nations of the earth." Proud and vain words. Our liberty is more in danger from internal enemies, (such as the author of this address) than from "the nations of the earth." He tells us that France hath made it her boast that we are a divided people. Shall we therefore unite in order to fight ourselves, under the yoke of British tyranny? Should we and England stand our hands in a war with France, what will we gain by it but the happy privileges which the people of England and Ireland now enjoy, which is little better than the Africans enjoy in America? The most dangerous enemies to liberty, are those who would endeavor to impose upon us unconstitutional acts. In this quarter, I apprehend that our liberty is in greater danger than it was when we lifted arms against king George, in the year 1775. In order to prove this, I shall compare the two cases.—What was our complaint in the year 1775? England imposed in an unconstitutional manner, a petty indirect tax, upon tea, which was not said to be oppressive. Our objections were its being laid on us without the consent of our representatives. We plead that magna charta, and the charters of our states or provinces, (as they were then called) said, that no taxes could be laid, but by the consent of our representatives. But in our charters there was then, as in the federal constitution now, a sweeping clause, that said we should be under England, in all cases whatever. We interpreted that clause, all cases within the limits of our chartered rights, otherwise our charter was a meer blank, and of no use. England gave this clause an unlimited interpretation, and so the war commenced.
In order to explain what is meant by the sweeping clause in our federal constitution, I shall quote a small part of our worthy delegate's letter, bearing date, July 20, 1798. "The sweeping clause as it has been usually denominated, gives no more nor no other powers beyond the particular enumeration; for, when it is said that congress "shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper," those words are limited and defined by the following, "for carrying into execution the foregoing powers," this is saying no more than that the powers we have already particularly given, shall be effectually carried into execution." So far the two cases appear to run nearly parallel, as both England, and little more than a ma-
jority of congress in their last session, broke over the bounds of chartered & constitutional rights; by an unlimited interpretation of their sweeping clauses: and on this unlimited interpretation are our present unconstitutional acts founded, though the sweeping clause in our federal constitution is more explicit in favor of liberty, than that of our ancient charters. Let us in the next place compare that trifling unconstitutional indirect tax upon tea, with the three enormous unconstitutional acts passed at the last session of congress. Congress in a late act hath in an unconstitutional manner, delivered into the president's hand, both the national purse and sword. They give the president the discretionary power of raising a regular army of 32,000 men, with 100,000 volunteers, 80,000 militia, and 30 or 40 armed ships; also the power of borrowing money on the credit of the United States, for the support of this army, without restriction as to the amount of the interest to be paid on the loan. The president may give fifty per cent interest:—and when we view the deep stratagems that are already laid against our liberty, and tending to our ruin, have we not reason to expect that something like this will be put into execution? The unconstitutional alien law, (as far as it concerns foreigners) can be equalled only by the Spanish Inquisition;—But are foreigners the only persons that may be injured by the alien law? No—it is a home stroke at liberty, in various respects. It appears to be a deep laid scheme for raising an army of tory volunteers, under the president's command. As there is no law in the United States to prevent emigration, the alien whigs may be transported, and British tories imported, at the pleasure of the president; and the 100,000 volunteers, may be compounded of American and British tories. And as it might be expected that discerning persons would discover those subtle stratagems, the gag law (as it is emphatically called) was enacted to prevent the freedom of speech and the press. All the aforesaid unconstitutional acts would have been rejected in England half a century ago, with disdain. England has degenerated and became extremely tyrannical and villainous;—and a majority of the late session of congress has endeavored, if possible, to out-strip them in ingratitude, treachery and wickedness, towards the free-men of the United States, and the French Republic. And if the president can only raise this large unconstitutional army, we may say, farewell American liberty, or wade thro' fields of blood.—When all these things are candidly considered, will any one hesitate to say, that our liberty is in greater danger now, than it was in the year 1775, when we lifted arms against Great Britain? but let us do now, as we did then, that is, in the first place, let us petition, remonstrate and use all moderate and constitutional measures to regain our constitutional rights:—And let us also punctually obey all constitutional laws; and let us to the utmost, aid and assist in having them put into execution.
I shall now cease from this digression, and take notice of the preface to the aforesaid address, contained in a Cincinnati paper of August 4th 1798; which is as followeth:
"Messrs. Printers; The following address was delivered to a number of the inhabitants of Bourbon county, (Ken.) on the 4th of July—a number of whom were desirous of having it published in the Lexington papers, the printers of which refused to insert it—Your giving it a place in your useful and
impartial paper, will very much oblige
"A number of Kentuckians."
I have the greatest reason to believe that there was no such address delivered in Bourbon county, and that this preface and address was fabricated by an enemy to liberty. It appears evident by a late meeting in Bourbon county, that said address is not the sense of the people there; and the printers in Lexington positively deny that said address was ever sent to them, or, that they ever refused to insert it. The design of said preface and address was to deceive the good people of Cincinnati, and make them believe that the Kentuckians had lead the way in consenting to unconstitutional measures;—and also to stigmatize our Lexington printers, in order to obstruct their usefulness, by persuading the world that they are partial editors. But, let the author step out from behind the bush, and give his name to the world in full, and I will do the same—but, until then I shall subscribe myself

REVOLUTION IN IRELAND.
The affairs of Ireland have at length arrived at the most alarming and melancholy pitch. After the capture of Lord Fitzgerald, and the subsequent development of the plans of the United Irishmen, and other insurgents, (one of which was to possess themselves of the city of Dublin and the castle) government was necessitated to declare the metropolis and other places, in a state of rebellion. Hostilities immediately commenced. The rebel village of Lackland, (17 houses) was destroyed. Several bloody frays took place, even in the centre of Dublin. The parliament addressed the lord lieutenant in terms of the most unshaken loyalty. Several hundred rebels were killed (May 29) at Saggard and Naas. In the counties of Dublin, Kildare and Meath, the rebellion was openly supported; and several severe actions have taken place, in which, although the rebels have fought well, they were defeated with immense slaughter. At Dunboyne, a party has been dispersed. In most instances his majesty's loyal troops have conquered. Five counties are now (May 30) in a state of rebellion, viz. Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow & Carlow. In the two latter the rebels have lost at Hacketstown and Baltin-glass, 500 men; besides many more at Clare, Ballimore, Barretstown, Lucan and Lusk. Killeullen and part of Carlow have been destroyed by the rebels; at the latter place, 400 of them "bit the dust;" whose carcasses were left "to taint the wind." Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Cork, are perturbed; and the vicinity of the metropolis is threatened. Ledwich, Keogh, Dr. Esmond, leaders, and 18 other rebels, have been executed at Dublin. The rebels have destroyed the bridge at Killeullen, and taken possession of a few unimportant posts. The rebels have been defeated (June 1) at Taragh-Hill, ten miles from Dublin, by the fencibles and yeomanry, 350 rebels killed, no quarters allowed. The loyal troops had about 20 killed and wounded. Four thousand rebels at Kildare, have laid down their arms, and given up their leaders, who will be hung. Sir James Duff (June 4) has retaken Kildare, killed 240 rebels, besides wounded. The rebels are in force in Wexford, and have cut off a detachment of the 13th regiment, commanded by lieutenant col. Colville. It is said 7000 insurgents possess Wexford. Col. Longfield has driven the rebels from Rathangan, in Wexford county, killing fifty odd of them. Gen. Fawcett (June 5) with a detachment of the Meath regiment, has been surrounded near Duncannon fort, and defeated; but effected his retreat to the fort. Newtownbarry has been taken by the rebels, but has been re-taken by assault, by col. L'Estrange, 500 of the rebels were killed. A party of them has been defeated at Castlet. The insurgent camp at Blackmore hill, is broken up—1000 rebels have been defeated by 100 regulars. At Goree, 140 of the rebels have been killed. At Ballycanew, 200 have been slain; and at Rochillung, a party of them who were plundering, were defeated. The North of Ireland is affected; at Belfast, (June 6) martial law has been declared by major general sir Charles Aghil. The rebellion (June 7) still rages in Wicklow, Carlow, and Wexford. Many of the insurgents are killed; and many inhabitants obliged to fly to Wales for refuge. The great body of the rebels is posted on Wexford height, near the sea. (June 8.) They count 15,000, with 8 pieces of artillery, and a strong position. They swear to die in the last ditch, or throw themselves into the sea. The city of Wexford is retaken—The rebels lost 900, and the king's troops many, from the 14 feet pikes of the insurgents, against which the bayonet was useless. A general action with the rebels is momentarily expected. An attack was in contemplation when the last accounts came away. In one instance the rebels have conquered.—Col. Walpole, with a detachment of 500 men, with artillery, proceeding to join the main army, commanded by generals Ennace, Fawcett and Johnson, and to co-operate with them in the general attack, was assailed in a defile, and defeated. The colonel and 300 men were killed, and the party left five pieces of artillery.
The rebels live in tents, and nightly send out foraging parties to collect provisions. But, as they have no arrangements, and but small finances, their compleat subjugation may be expected; and the arm of government made strong by the measure. Martial law is declared at Limerick.
From the commencement of hostilities to the 6th June, the loss of the Irish yeomanry is 500, that of the rebels, 5000*.—Gen. Dundas has been censured for a parley with the insurgents, in which he promised them pardon, &c. He has demanded a court-martial. As the rebels hold several sea-ports, it is supposed they must have received succors from France. The destination of Buonaparte is generally conceived to be the south-west of Ireland. The main body of the rebels is surrounded, except towards the sea. The insurgents have been guilty of horrid excesses; murdering whole families, and sparing neither hoary age nor helpless infancy. Several instances of desertion in the Irish "loyal" troops, have been discovered. At Rathangan, a company instigated by the lieutenant, murdered their captain, and eight of their comrades, and then fled to the insurgents—The Dublin yeomanry corps has been disarmed, suspected of a league with the rebels. The person who discovered the plan of the insurgents, has been pensioned, and is gone to England. By the discovery, the deposit of the rebel arms; the great seal for REGENERATED IRELAND, and the dress of the to be Directory, were detected. A reinforcement of ten thousand men, is to sail from England to Ireland.
* This is the British account.
Lord Fitzgerald died at Dublin, of a mortification of his wounds, the 4th June. Capt. Ryan, one his apprehenders, died of his wounds the 27th May. Fitzgerald, and 71 others, were to have been tried for high treason, the 11th June. Lady Fitzgerald on the news of the death of her husband, swooned, and became outrageous.—She was in Dublin; and from her high connexions, and spirit, she has been ordered to leave the country; and is going to Hamburg.
May 26.
A squadron, under Com. Strachan, has bombarded Havre, and destroyed several gun-boats. The French commander dare not accept Sir Richard's challenge of sending out an equal force to fight him.
Ad. Gardner has sailed for Torbay with twelve sail of the line.
May 30.
"ARMY OF ENGLAND."
Paris accounts state, that gen. Grenier is shortly to sail from Dunkirk for England; and that the troops have marched from St. Omers, Bethune, Arras, &c. for the coast.
June 7.
The French have, as usual, published a gasonade account of the capture of the troops at Ostend, under gen. Coote. They state our loss to be 1424, besides 150 killed and wounded; in the prisoners, they say are included 2 generals, 5 aids, 5 field officers, 25 captains, 29 lieutenants, 1 sea captain, 1200 rank and file, and 150 sailors. The British prisoners are at Brussels.
The officers are on parole, and wear their swords, gen. Coote is recovering of his wounds, Col. Campbell has been burried with martial honours; and the prisoners are well treated.
June 9.
An express from Lord St. Vincents mentions his having advices from the Mediterranean, that the Toulon fleet, having gen. Buonaparte on board, had eluded the vigilance of Sir Horatio Nelson, and had failed on a projected enterprize. In consequence, orders have been issued for fitting for sea immediately, every ship of war that can be put in commission; and a severe press has taken place in all the maritime towns, and on the river.
That Ireland is the object of Buonaparte, no question can remain. A correspondence between the insurgents & French has been long kept up.
Letters from Lisbon say, that Adm. Nelson and Curtis had joined St. Vincent's fleet; which now consists of 32 sail of the line. He is to go in quest of the Toulon fleet, leaving the Spaniards to be watched by a small squadron.
[Remark—Officially, then, the Toulon Squadron has eluded St. Vincent's vigilance, and he really thinks it bound to Ireland! He is to leave Cadiz
blockaded only by a few ships—what will the Spaniards be then about?]
Several English privateers, which had carried into Malta a number of valuable prizes, have been blockaded by a French squadron.—An English squadron afterwards arrived, to the assistance of the privateers; and immediately upon it, a second French force came on. Thus a series of blockading and being blockaded occurred at the same time. One object of Sir H. Nelson's squadron was to release the English, & capture these French ships.
ALEXANDRIA, August 15.
We are informed that last week considerable disturbance took place at Norfolk, between the civil authority and the military power, stationed in the fort at that place, under the command of capt. Blackburn. It is said to have originated from the magistrates having taken under their protection a soldier who had been regularly discharged, but who had been taken back again by violence to the fort, and severely whipped. Letters of the 9th inst. mention that the disturbances had not then been quieted, & that serious consequences were apprehended.
FRANKFORT, August 28.
Tuesday last being the day fixed on agreeably to a notice previously given, for a meeting of the inhabitants of Franklin and the adjacent counties, a respectable number of citizens assembled at this place, and after appointing Col. Bennett Pemberton chairman, and Mr. Willis Lee clerk, proceeded to discuss the subject for which they met, when the resolutions entered into at the meeting in Lexington, were agreed to—one dissenting voice only. Guardian of Freedom
Lexington, September 5, 1798.
A meeting of the citizens of Mercer county, (more numerous than heretofore known on any occasion, in said county) was held at Harrodsburg on the 28th ult. it being court day; and after publicly deliberating on the present crisis of American affairs, the resolutions entered into at the meeting in Lexington, were unanimously agreed to.
At a meeting of the citizens of Mason and the adjacent counties, held in the town of Washington, on Monday the 27th day of August, by previous notice—present between 1500 and 2000 persons—gen. Henry Lee was unanimously appointed Chairman.—The following resolutions were then read and laid over for deliberation, and finally carried with very few dissenting voices. Contrary to the wish and expectation of some, the utmost harmony and decorum prevailed in the meeting, and the day was closed without the smallest tumult.
1st. Resolved, That we conceive the rights of the freemen of America, are in eminent danger, and we pledge ourselves to each other, and to our country, that we will defend them against all unjust or unconstitutional attacks.
2d. Resolved, That we esteem it the first and highest duty of every good citizen, to pay a prompt obedience to those laws which are the result of the wisdom of a fair majority of our representatives, and sanctified by our constitution.
3d. Resolved, That the privilege of speaking and publishing our sentiments on all public questions is too inestimable to be submitted to the arbitrary caprice of any person on earth. We conceive it unnecessary to resort to written documents to prove the existence of a natural right so essential to our happiness; but we can with propriety appeal to the constitution of the United States, and of our own state, to establish the freedom of the press and of speech. Under these impressions we consider all laws made to impair or destroy this privilege as void; and that we will exercise the right either of approving or censuring our public servants in opposition to any law which has been or may be passed to deprive us of this right.
4th. Resolved, That standing armies and extensive navies are dangerous to liberty, and ruinous to any people; that a well regulated and well armed militia are the only safe defenders of a republican government.
5th. Resolved, That we consider the enormous powers given to the president, to raise armies when he may
judge it necessary, to borrow money on the credit of the United States, and perform many of the highest powers of government, without express limitations, are dangerous and unconstitutional; and that we justly apprehend that the influence of the immediate representatives of the citizens, will in time, under this system, degenerate into an implicit obedience to executive mandates.
6th. Resolved, That we do conceive most of the evils under which we now labour, and from which we apprehend still more serious consequences, arise from that undue influence which the commercial class of citizens have over our administration; and that we verily believe, until that influence becomes subordinate to the agricultural interest, no lasting happiness can be enjoyed by the citizens of America.
7th. Resolved, That we consider a war at this period as the greatest calamity which can befall the United States, and more particularly the western country. That we are compelled to distinguish between that warfare which springs from an unjust system of policy, and that which arises from the just defence of our invaded country—The former we must abhor; for the latter we pledge ourselves and our all to be ever ready and ever willing.
8th. Resolved, That under the full influence of the principles which actuated the Americans of 1776, we solemnly declare before God and man, that we will dispise the man and oppose the measure that leads to an embrace with the corrupt government of Great Britain.
9th. Resolved, That we will, under all circumstances, and at all hazards, support the independence and liberties of the citizens of the United States.
10th. Resolved, That we consider those acts of the last session of congress, commonly called the Alien and Sedition Bills, as infractions of our constitution, injurious to the American character, and repugnant to the spirit of our government.
11th. Resolved, That we most ardently desire the restoration of peace and harmony to our distracted country, and that we will use every effort to accomplish this desirable event.
12th. Resolved, That we consider the present crisis sufficiently alarming to justify an immediate legislative interference, and that a committee of five persons be appointed by the chairman, to draw up and forward a respectful address to the governor of this state, praying an early call of the legislature.
13th. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to our representatives in congress, and that they be published in the Mirror.
HENRY LEE, Chairman.
In conformity to the 12th resolution, col. Robert Rankins, col. Wm. Ward, col. Duval Payne, John Coburn and Thomas Sloo, were appointed by the chairman to draw up and forward an address to the governor of this state, praying an early call of the legislature. Mirror.
MR. BRADFORD:
IN answer to the desire expressed by The Citizen of Kentucky, "that all those persons who have avowed that they with this state should be separated from the United States, may be distinctly pointed out, and the charge proved on them"—it is declared, that as the person who made the assertion that this could be proved as to some, would never have offered to bring the opinions of any individuals to a public investigation, if he had not considered it as necessary to place in a proper point of view, the charges unjustly brought by them against those who have in this country opposed the late impolitic and unconstitutional acts of our general government; he conceives it will be improper to do it now on an anonymous call; but if any of those, who suppose that they have been improperly included in this assertion, will leave their names at your office, the maker of the assertion will either bring forward proof to support it as to them, or will by his silence admit that it was not intended to include them. Those who ought to be conscious, that their opinions never have been enquired after, and that they would not have been noticed, if they had been known, may save themselves the trouble of leaving their names.
