All unconstitutional acts of Congress are void, and ought to be declared so, by every honest and independent judge.
THE complete independence of the courts of Justice, is peculiarly essential in a limited constitution. By a limited constitution I understand one which contains certain specified exceptions to the legislative authority; such for instance as that it shall pass no bills of attainder, no ex post facto laws, and the like. Limitations of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of the courts of justice; whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the constitution void. Without this, all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing.
Some perplexity respecting the right of the courts to pronounce legislative acts void, because contrary to the constitution, has arisen from an imagination that the doctrine would imply a superiority of the judiciary to the legislative power. It is urged that the authority which can declare the acts of another void, must necessarily be superior to the one whose acts may be declared void. As this doctrine is of great importance in all the American constitutions, a brief discussion of the grounds on which it rests cannot be unacceptable.
There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore contrary to the constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are
superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorise, but what they forbid.
If it be said that the legislative body are themselves the constitutional judges of their own powers, & that the construction they put upon them is conclusive upon the other departments it may be answered, that this cannot be the natural presumption, where it is not to be collected from any particular provisions in the constitution. It is not otherwise to be supposed that the constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents. It is far more rational to suppose that the courts were designed to be an intermediate body between the people and the legislature, in order, among other things, to keep the latter within the limits assigned to their authority. The interpretation of the laws is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A constitution is in fact, and must be, regarded by the judges as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body. If there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two, that which has the superior obligation and validity, ought of course to be preferred; or, in other words, the constitution ought to be preferred to the statute, the intention of the people to the intention of their agents.
Nor does this conclusion by any means suppose a superiority of the judicial to the legislative power. It only supposes that the power of the people is superior to both; and that where the will of the legislature declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that of the people declared in the constitution, the judges ought to be governed by the latter, rather than the former. They ought to regulate their decisions by the fundamental laws, rather than by those which are not fundamental.
This exercise of judicial discretion in determining between two contradictory laws, is exemplified in a familiar instance. It not uncommonly happens, that there are two statutes existing at one time, claiming in whole or in part with each other, and neither of them containing any repealing clause or expression. In such a case, it is the province of the courts to liquidate and fix their meaning and operation; So far as they can by any fair construction be reconciled to each other; reason and law conspire to dictate that this should be done: Where this is impracticable, it becomes a matter of necessity to give effect to one, in exclusion of the other. The rule which has obtained in the courts for determining their relative validity is that the last in order of time, shall be preferred to the first. But this is mere rule of construction, not derived from any positive law, but from the nature and reason of the thing. It is a rule not enjoined upon the courts by legislative provision, but adopted by themselves, as consonant to truth and propriety, for the direction of their conduct as interpreters of the law. They thought it reasonable, that between the interfering acts of an equal authority, that which was the last indication of its will, should have the preference.
But in regard to the interfering acts of a superior and subordinate authority, of an original and derivative power, the nature and reason of the thing indicate the converse of that rule as proper to be followed. They teach us that the prior act of a superior ought to be preferred to the sub-

sequent act of an inferior and subordinate authority; and that, accordingly, whenever a particular statute contravenes the constitution, it will be the duty of the judicial tribunals to adhere to the latter, and disregard the former.
"It can be of no weight to say, that the courts on the pretence of a repugnancy, may substitute their own pleasure to the constitutional intentions of the legislature. This might as well happen in the case of two contradictory statutes; or it might as well happen in every adjudication upon any single statute. The courts must declare the sense of the law; and if they should be disposed to exercise WILL instead of JUDGMENT, the consequence would equally be the substitution of their pleasure to that of the legislative body. The observation, if it proved any thing, would prove that there ought to be no judges distinct from that body."
The above are some of the sentiments which that arch enemy to liberty, Alexander Hamilton, made use of to persuade the citizens of America to adopt the federal constitution, and to induce them to believe, that no danger could arise to liberty from any unconstitutional act of congress. This reasoning, when used by him, was admitted to be unanswerable; unless then the same constitution will admit of a different construction after its adoption, from what it did receive, and ought to have received, when it was under consideration, the same arguments must be conclusive now also.—The people will never believe the same man or set of men, who prevailed upon them to adopt this constitution, by giving it a construction favorable to liberty, when they tell them now, that that construction was not a just one. Besides, the only doubt which then existed as to the propriety of Hamilton's construction of the constitution, proceeded from its not explicitly declaring, that congress should exercise no powers but those expressly given to them; to obviate and remove this doubt, amendments have been made to the constitution, which expressly declare that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others, retained by them. The powers not delegated to the United States, by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." And yet the same party now declare, that congress have sufficient power to pass legislative acts on subjects which are not included "in the powers delegated to them," but also on subjects expressly prohibited by the constitution: and they deny that there is any power in the judges or courts to declare such acts void.
Those who assert such contradictory opinions must be knaves—those who believe them are dupes, and deserve to be slaves.
A FEDERALIST.
LONDON, July 4
WE have received by express, the Paris journals up to the first inst. inclusive. There is nothing yet certainly known by the public in France respecting the ultimate destination of the Toulon fleet. It would appear, however, that it has experienced, as was before reported, some damages from a storm. The English fleet in the Mediterranean is formidable enough, even by the confession of the French themselves, to cope with the strongest force the enemy can oppose to it; and one squadron of it now blocks up the port of Toulon, to prevent the second division from sailing, which was preparing to follow the first.
The accounts in these journals respecting the state of Ireland are so contrary to truth, and so much exaggerated, evidently on purpose, that we forbear to quote them. One report, however, deserves to be noticed, which is stated in one of the journals (not officially) namely—"that the English ministry afraid for the consequences of the rebellion in Ireland, have thro' the Prussian minister, made overtures of peace to the Directory." Neither the result nor any further circumstance respecting the overture is stated.
The following are among the most interesting of the articles contained in the journals.
Paris, 8 Messidor, June 26.
We are informed from Toulon, that the English have intercepted a brig and a cutter. Another brig, however, found means to get into port. According to the accounts of the crew, it appears beyond all doubt, that the English have actually forty to forty-five ships of war in the Mediterranean—that they have left five ships before Malta, and that they are in pursuit of the French fleet. The squadron before Toulon seems to be stationed there for the purpose of preventing the second armament and convoy from getting out.
The above brig knew nothing of the French fleet, so that nothing can be more doubtful than the intelligence said to have been received of the capture of Malta.
A private letter states, that on the 22d of Prairial (June 10) Buonaparte passed the Pharos of Messina, and that on the 25th, he was cruising along the shores of Candi, towards Cyprus.
It is pretended here, that the king of Spain has signified to the Directory that his fleet cannot attempt to quit Cadiz while the English are before that port. Some, however, think that according to an article in our treaty with Spain, by which it is settled that in case of a junction of the two fleets, they shall be commanded by the oldest officer. Vice admiral Merard de Galios, now on his way to Paris, may perhaps be destined for Cadiz. He is one of the oldest general officers of the two nations, and his age entitles him to command the two fleets.
10 Messidor, June 28.
Certain accounts have been received that our fleet, on the 22d of Prairial (June 10) had passed the southern point of Sicily. The English fleet on the 25th (June 13) were off the Elba. According to this intelligence, our fleet had then the start of the English by three days sail, or by the distance between the island of Elba and the southern point of Sicily. This intelligence may be depended on.
L'Echo de la Republique Francaise.
A letter from Marseilles, dated Prairial 30, (June 18) states, that capt. Galibardi, who arrived there the preceding evening from Smyrna, had despatched, that on the 20th of that month he had been taken by an English frigate, and set at liberty twenty-four hours after, as being under the Grecian flag. He repeats, that the captain of the said frigate, on dismissing him at Ganta, an island on the African coast near Tunis, told him he had spoken on the 19th with a Danish ship, the master of which assured him, that he had seen on the 18th near Maretimo, an island on the western part of Sicily, thirteen French ships of the line, ten frigates, and three or four hundred transports, and that he did not meet with a single English ship in his course.
A letter has been received at Rastadt from the Grand Master of Malta, the substance of which is, that gen. Buonaparte had appeared before the island of Malta, and had sent in a flag of truce, demanding admission into the port for his fleet, of which several vessels were in a leaky condition. The Grand Master answered, that according to the laws of neutrality, he could not permit more than three ships of war with crews of limited men to enter the port; that the French general might, therefore, send three vessels at a time to be refitted, and that he would with pleasure furnish such necessaries as might be wanted for the fleet. On receiving this answer, the general sent in three of the ships, and as soon as they were refitted, continued his route. He does not, however, state in what direction he proceeded.
A letter from Marseilles announces, that a vessel, arrived at that port, mentions, the 18th Prairial, thirteen sail of the line with a convoy of 400 transports, towards the isle of Maretimo, and that they perceived no English ships in the course of the voyage.
Letters from Rastadt, posterior to the reply to the French plenipotentiaries, state that paper to have produced a great sensation. It was expected that it would have conceded more to the demands of the Deputation of the Empire.
A few cruisers between Sicily and Malta, and Malta and Africa, will prevent, without much exertion, any vessel from navigating in that port, and a squadron stationed in the fine and convenient ports of the island, will
command all the coasts of Italy in the Adriatic sea, in which France already occupies the important island of Corfu. Her influence will consequently extend in a proportionable degree to the Archipelago. She may also be enabled to give law to Candia and the other Turkish islands: and should she wish to open a communication with India by the Red sea, Malta will be naturally considered as the first point necessary to the success of the expedition, and the principal store house for the various materials which she may think proper to employ in promoting that end. Exclusive of these considerations, Malta, in its present situation, must prove highly advantageous to France. It contains 150,000 inhabitants, among whom are six thousand good seamen; it has an arsenal well filled, and an immense quantity of cannon of almost every calibre. The money in the public treasury has been accumulating for a long time past, in consequence of the economy of the successive Grand Masters, and the riches which have been sent to Malta, as to a place of certain safety, by the Italian emigrants, will add considerably to the spoils of the enemy.
NEW-YORK, September 4.
Yesterday we witnessed a most pleasing sight—seven European ships all coming up at once!—The Fair American, Tredwell from Greenock, brings the latest news—our papers by her being up to the NINTH of July, a month later than heretofore received.—The latest, and most important articles follow.
The Irish Insurgents are completely tired of contending with Regulars.—Those who have not been defeated, are daily suing for governmental protection, and giving up their arms.
Buonaparte, after narrowly escaping the British squadron, contrary to the expectation of the French themselves, has arrived at, and taken possession of Malta, an island in the Mediterranean, twenty miles long, and 12 broad.
The Directory states, that Buonaparte found at Malta, two vessels, one frigate, four gallies, twelve hundred pieces of cannon, forty thousand muskets, 1,500,000 rounds of powder, and other ammunition, of which the Directory had not received the particular details.
PARIS, JULY 2.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of Buonaparte, embarked on board the frigate Juno, before Malta, dated on the 12th of June.
"At half past eleven o'clock, I broke open my letter, to announce to you a great victory—MALTA is ours. This place has this moment surrendered. We have not, perhaps, lost twenty-five men."
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
JULY 1.
The Council received a message from the Directory, which was read by the secretary.
"For a long time, says the Directory, the government of Malta has shewn itself hostile to France. It afforded protection to emigrants, as also to the soldiers of Conde's army. Her constitution ought to have obliged her to keep a strict neutrality; but she always acted in favor of the enemies of France. The French, who were friends to liberty at Malta, were ill-treated and confined. In the manifesto of the tenth of October, 1793, the Grand Master declared that the ports of the island should be shut against the French vessels, and that he should recognize the ambassador but as charge d'affaires of the king, without saying any thing of the republic; he declared he could not, nor would not recognize it. On the 9th of June, of the present year, a request was made by the French general for water, which was refused by the grand master, who declared ironically that he could not admit but two ships into the port. Dared he thus to insult the French army, commanded by Buonaparte, say the Directory! The 10th of June the French were on shore early in the morning, and Malta was invested, and the town was cannonaded on all sides. The besieged made a sally, in which general Marmont at the head of the 19th Brigade, took the standard of the order. On the 11th the knights surrendered the town and fort, and renounced their property in the island to the French republic."
Letters from the right bank of the Rhine state, as a certain fact, that an Austrian army of 40,000 men, under the orders of general Staader, is marching to Franconia, where every thing is ready for their reception.
LONDON, JULY 6.
We have the best authority for saying that the rebellion in Ireland is considered to be so completely crushed, that Marquis of Cornwallis has written home that there is no occasion for any reinforcements to be sent to Ireland. In consequence all the militia regiments are to remain in England.
Yesterday a council was held, when a proclamation was sealed relative to aliens coming in and going out of the kingdom.
RICHMOND, August 23.
On Monday the 21th day of August, the citizens of Goochland county, convened at their court-house, it being the first day of their quarterly term, when they came to the following resolutions:
Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting. That the citizens of the United States have an undoubted right, at any time when they shall think it necessary, to assemble themselves together, freely to communicate their sentiments to each other and adopt any plan they may think most effectual to promote the common good of their country.
Resolved, That we are firmly and zealously attached to our excellent federal constitution, which has secured to us the most invaluable of all blessings, LIBERTY: and that it is our duty as men, as citizens, and as parents to transmit it inviolate to posterity.
Resolved, That we view with astonishment and regret many proceedings of Congress during their late session; particularly two acts passed by them, the Alien and Sedition laws—which we conceive to be direct violations of the constitution, calculated to excite jealousies, sow dissensions, lessen that unanimity so essentially necessary during our present dangerous situation, and which till of late so happily existed among us; to pave the way for any future violations, when our rulers from weak or interested views shall think it necessary, and by degrees to introduce as tyrannical an aristocracy as any nation in Europe ever groaned under.
Resolved, That it is the duty we owe to ourselves and posterity, to endeavor by constitutional means to procure a repeal of those obnoxious laws, and in order to obtain this desirable end, we will instruct our delegates to use their utmost endeavors to prevail with our state legislature in their ensuing session, to remonstrate to congress against the same, or to adopt any other legal and constitutional mode they may think more effectual.
An address and instructions to the representatives of the county was accordingly prepared and approved of by the meeting, and are as follows:
To James Pleasants and Heath John Miller.
GENTLEMEN,
No people higher regard rational liberty, none higher the constitution of their country, and none who higher esteem the virtue, wisdom and patriotism of the authors of it than we do—we view it as the palladium of liberty, as the shield of virtue, and the protector of the rights of man—we conceive that the framers of it calculated it for the meridian of every situation in which their country might be placed.
That they intended it as a rallying point for her citizens, both in time of peace and war, and that no foreign or domestic evil, however great, would justify a violation of it. In proportion as we hold it deservedly dear, our feelings are roused at its being trampled on.—We conceive either a restrictive or licentious abuse of it, to be an evil—But the former of far greater magnitude than the latter.—The one emanating from an intemperate (but voluntary will of the people,)—the other from an insatiable and oppressive aristocracy. We will always resist both. Let it be understood that we are willing to oppose any foreign insult, at the risk of our blood and property—But we would as soon suffer a foreign as a domestic violation of our rights to pass unnoticed—While our attention is drawn forth by aggressions from abroad, we can

not suffer ourselves to be hoodwinked by the unbounded ambition of our own governors.
It would therefore (as freemen) be lethargy in us not to be animated by some acts passed by the late session of congress - we conceive that a remonstrance from the state of Virginia, collectively against them, would have far greater efficacy than from ourselves. We therefore, viewing you as our agents, shall offer no apology for directing you to use your utmost exertions in the ensuing session of the state legislature, to effect by that or other means, consistently with the constitution, a repeal of the alien and sedition bills. The first as being a violation of our federal and state constitutions - the latter as suppressing the freedom of the press, and liberty of speech: the fatal influence of which we are already made sensible of, by our public prints being fraught with trials, imprisonments, and all the appendages of tyranny.
Resolved, That John Dixon, and Samuel Pleasants be requested to publish the above resolutions and instructions in their next papers.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Culpepper county, to his friend in Frederick-Town, dated August 3, 1798.
"I have no great deal of news to write you at present; but such as it is take it.
"There are more republicans in this county, than of those men who wear the British cockades in their hats, for whenever it appears it is knocked off the wearer's head. A Scotch merchant from Fredericksburg, arrived at Orange court house, with a British cockade in his hat - it was soon knocked out, and it is probable, that if he had not fearfully and expeditiously made his escape, something else would have been knocked out. You may perceive from the above, that my assertion, that much more than two thirds of this country are real American Republicans, is true."

COMMUNICATION.
The real friends of the liberties and happiness of America, will rejoice at the decided part which the people of Virginia have taken against the alien and sedition bills. In the large and respectable county of Goochland, the people met on Monday last, to consult on the present crisis of American affairs, and adopted by almost an unanimous vote, resolutions, expressive of their strongest disapprobation of the late acts of congress, and the president. There was a very full meeting, consisting of about four hundred, of these not more than twenty or thirty were against the resolutions. They also voted instructions to their delegates in the state legislature, requesting them to move, in the next session of assembly, a remonstrance to congress, against the late obnoxious acts of government, or to support any other constitutional measure which may be deemed more effectual, to vindicate the liberties of speech and the press, and to restore the trial by jury. The people of Albemarle will meet on the first day of September, to take the late acts of government into consideration, and it is expected the other counties of Virginia, at this alarming period, will prove themselves equally patriotic.

YELLOW FEVER
IN PHILADELPHIA.
The fever continues to rage with undiminished violence. Notwithstanding the city is abandoned by at least three fourths of its inhabitants, the deaths daily increase, and considering the thin population, bear nearly as large a proportion as the gloomy period in 1793. So malignant is the disease, that it is doubted by many whether a single unequivocal case of it has been cured. Both the physicians at the hospital have been ill, but are now on the recovery. Dr. Sayre has unfortunately fallen a victim to it.
   Total burials in the city and suburbs.     Aug. 29th to the 30th at noon 45   30th to the 31st 31   31st to the 1st Sept. 48   Sept. 1st to the 2d no report.   2d to the 3d no report.   3d to the 4th 65   4th to the 5th 67  
Total 256 Of whom 31 were children. New cases from Aug 19th to Sept. 5. 558.
IN NEW-YORK.
The Yellow Fever is on the increase in New-York, and the citizens are rapidly removing. It is also in Wilmington (D.)
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, (Del.) dated 29th ult.
"The fever is now beginning to spread among us. - Several late deaths of our inhabitants by it. How far it may be suffered to spread, a few days will determine."
FEVER AT PORTSMOUTH.
In consequence of the prevalence of a fever in that town, a Health Committee has been appointed. The following is extracted from their first official report:
"That, from the first appearance of the fever, which was about the 20th of July, to the 20th of August, inclusive, eleven persons have died of that disorder, and no one since Monday last.
Lexington, September 26.
The state of Georgia has at length discontinued that most horrid practice, the Importation of Slaves. No slaves (says the new constitution) are to be imported after the first day of October next. - How pleasing must it be to every friend of humanity, to see the inhabitants of the Southern states about to abolish a practice which is so inimical to the rights of man. - We may suppose that the preventing the importation of slaves is the first step towards an emancipation - that wished for period, which will be crowned with joy to every friend of equal liberty.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
[The heart that the following lines will not melt into sympathy, must be harder than adamant:— They exhibit a picture but too true, as every village in Ireland can bear testimony!]
MARY LE MORE.
AH! soldiers of Britain, your merciless doings Long, long must the children of Erin deplore; All sad is my soul when I view the black ruins Where once stood the cabin of Mary Le More. Her father (God rest him) lov'd Ireland most dearly; All our wrongs, all our suff'rings, he felt most severely; And with Freedom's firm sons he united sincerely, But—gone is the father of Mary Le More.
One cold winter's eve, as poor Dermot sat musing, Hoarse curses alarm'd him—and craft went doubting The fierce soldiers enter'd, and straight 'gan doubting The brave, yet mild father of Mary Le More. To their scoffs he replied not—with blows they assail'd him; He felt all indignant—his caution now fail'd him— He return'd their vile blows, and all Munster b'wa'il'd him; For stab'd was the father of Mary Le More.
The children wild scream, and the mother's distracted, While the father, the husband lay streth'd in his gore, All! who can relate and not curse the foul faction That blasted that rose-bud sweet Mary Le More? "O my father, my father," she cry'd widely throbbing, Her arms round his neck, whilst his life's blood was flowing; She kiss'd his cold lips—but poor Dermot was going; He groan'd—and left fatherless Mary Le More.
With destruction uncloy'd this infernal banditti, (Who the rain fell in sheets and the wind it blew fore) These fiends of the Castle, these foes to all pity, Set fire to the cabin of Mary Le More. The mother and children, half-naked & shrieking, Escape from the flames where poor Dermot lay reeking; And while the sad victims for shelter were seeking, Alas! mark what befel the poor Mary Le More.
From her father's pale cheek, which her lap had supported, To an out house these Russians the lovely maid bore; With her tears, her entreaties, her sorrows they sported, And by force they deflower'd poor Mary Le More. And now a poor maniac, she roams the wild common, 'Gainst the soldiers of Britain she warns ev'ry woman; And she sings of her father in strains more than human, Till tears often fall for poor Mary Le More.
O daughters of Ireland, your country's salvation! Whilst the waves of old Ocean shall beat round your shore:— Remember the wrongs of your long shackled nation, Remember the woes of poor Mary Le More. And while your hearts swell—O with spirits all fire; Your lovers, your brothers, your husbands inspire! Till the Union shall make all oppressors retire From the soil where now wanders poor Mary Le More.
ANECDOTE.
A popular preacher, remarked, in his sermon, that the present age was the most abandoned and profligate of any since the creation of the world. "Wickedness!" (says he) "is now arrived at such a pitch, that you frequently see little children, before they can speak or walk, running about the streets, blaspheming their Maker."

C. FREEMAN,
PHYSICIAN & SURGEON,
Late of the Indian towns, from the North-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky.
RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of PHYSIC and SURGERY, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the State of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, hysterics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, costiveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures stink and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all seminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

A Caution to the Public.
Respecting a forgery that has lately taken place in Kentucky.
WHEREAS, my business last summer, called me from this state, to the state of Georgia, at which place I exchanged my lands, and other property in Georgia, with a certain Daniel Wagoner, for six thousand nine hundred and seventy-six acres of military lands, in Logan county, Kentucky, in three different tracts—the patents whereof, were issued in the name of Joseph Trible, who was there at that time, and made the deeds of conveyance to me, as Mr. Wagoner only obtained the lands from him a few days before his contract with me, which was in the month of August, ninety-seven. To each tract, was a certificate, setting forth the quality of the lands, signed by Rowland Madison, and Robert Ewing, justices of the peace, in, and for Logan county. Below each certificate in this order was another certificate, asserting those men to be justices of the peace in Logan county, signed by Samuel Caldwell, clerk of said county, with the county seal affixed thereto; and that the said described lands were clear of all incumbrance whatever. Therefore, through the faith and credit I put in those papers, I exchanged my lands in Georgia, and having returned this spring to this state, I went to Logan county, to see the lands, but found them not. I then went to the gentlemen that should have recommended the lands, to whom I produced the papers, that they should have signed, but every man denied the hand writing, and protested the whole proceedings to be forgery. On my return I called on Governor Shelby, who should have signed the patents, he also protested the patents to be forged, and never signed by him. I then went to the land office, at Frankfort, and the clerk thereof protested that no such patents were ever issued from that office, nor any entry made of any such lands. James Brown, did also protest his name, on each patent, not to be his hand writing, who was then secretary of the state. Now, though I have recourse to a bond with security, recorded in Wilkes county office, for the value of my property, in Georgia—yet, in order to do justice to other citizens, both here and elsewhere, I have thought proper to make this matter known, that there may not be such an imposition used upon other men, as what has been done on me. But, I am not the only sufferer in this villainy. From what I learn, there has been thirty-two thousand acres of military lands, forged in the same way, and sold last fall, in Redstone; and near forty thousand acres more, in old Virginia. It is generally thought that this forgery hath taken place near the Cumberland river, and not far distant from the settlement of Philip Alston in Christian county. But, I take it for granted, that those gentlemen who hold the reins of government in their hands, will not pass over this with impunity, but endeavor as much as they can, to check the progress of this growing evil, lest those villains over run the land, as the caterpillars and locusts did the land of Egypt. Will they not become as pernicious to this commonwealth, as the Hessian fly is to the wheat? Doth not Justice say, cut them down; why incumbereth they the ground? But, mercy sayeth, erect your penitentiary house, or solitary cell, where, they may work out their time with a living sorrow, which will be doing justice to the community at large, and to none more than the present sufferer,
M. KAIN.
P. S. It is evident from the hand writing of Trible, in signing the deeds to me, that he was not capable of completing the forgery, though a villain in the mean, I believe. He is about 6 feet high, 35 or 36 years of age, and weighs nearly about two hundred, and is now said to be in the Creek nation. In Robinson county, state of Tennessee, he is known by the name of Joseph Still, or Trible Still, in Hanover county Virginia, where he was mostly raised, he is known by Joseph Welsher Trible, but in all his papers to me, by the name of Joseph Trible, &c.
