An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view
its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of
society. Some facts and calculations are offered
to prove the labor of freemen to be much more
productive than that of slaves; that countries are
rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own
labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that
slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeit Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
several of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days past; they are a good general
imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bill of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con-
siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow-
er and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and s in the word promise are not
parallel, the i inclining much more forward
than the s.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the device
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas
the Bank was not in operation till Decem-
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described; the engraving is better ex-
ecuted, and they approach nearer to the ap-
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty,
in the body of the bill, are in number thir-
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.

Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives
Mr. Giles's reply to Mr. W. Smith's ob-
servations on the passing of the naval
armament bill.
(Continued.)
Mr. Giles observed that it had been said and repeated in the committee that the proposed measure, was war. He denied that the measure in itself was war, or that it furnished a just cause of war. He believed, however, that it was problematical whether it would eventuate in peace or war; indeed, he remarked, that the crisis of affairs is already such: that whether the measure be adopted or not, he viewed war as a probable event, peace as a possible event; but the point he contended for was, that if the aggressions towards the United States be sufficient to justify reprisal, the exercise of the right does not furnish a just cause of war. The exercise of a right by one nation, can never involve the absurd consequence, of giving another nation the right to exercise a wrong.
He said that gentlemen on one side of this question seemed to act upon an imaginary, instead of the real state of things, he was not therefore astonished at hearing the committee cautioned against the violation of neutrality.
He did not conceive that the present state of things between the United States and Great Britain would justify the use of the term Neutrality. Neutrality is a term used to signify the relation, in which two nations stand towards each other—Neutrality, therefore requires two parties; either party may destroy the relation of things between the parties. It therefore appeared absurd to him to say that Great Britain was in a state of depredation and war towards the United States—and the United States in a state of neutrality towards Great Britain. It has been said that the United States have not abandoned their neutrality—this is true—but it is no evidence that neutrality exists.—Great Britain has abandoned it for them. He said however, that this was disregarding the substance and entering into a mere cavil about names.
It was not material in his opinion, what name ought to be given to the existing relation of things between the United States and Great Britain: Whether it was called a state of peace, a state of war, a state of neutrality, a state of reprisal, a state of retortion, or a state of very unci-vil conduct on the part of Great Britain; nor did he conceive it material to ascer-

to, whether there were any intermediate stages between a state of peace and a state of war; or in which state the depredations of Great Britain should technically be classed: but one thing was certain and material: that the United States had sustained substantial wrongs which required a substantial remedy. Gentlemen who have regarded names and disregarded substances, have also been extremely alarmed at the idea of a discrimination of conduct by the United States towards foreign nations. A gentleman (Mr. Boudinot) observed yesterday, that the United States had sustained injuries from France and Spain as well as Great Britain, and asked why there should be any discrimination in their favor. Mr. Giles said he was extremely hurt, that the conduct of France should be so unnecessarily and unopportune arraigned in that House. He submitted it to the gentlemen to say, if the United States should be compelled to enter into the war, which was at this moment not an improbable event; whether it would be wise to irritate the only nation in the world who could afford them any substantial assistance. He said that this conduct was the less justifiable from the recollection that the conduct of France, was the result of necessity, and that there was every reason to conclude, that the conduct of that nation would be explained in a satisfactory manner. But a consideration mentioned by a gentleman (Mr. Smith, M.) yesterday, was a conclusive answer. The United States owe to France a pecuniary obligation, as well as one of a more sacred nature. This is at all times sufficient for their indemnification. With respect to Spain, if the gentleman would show the injury sustained and point out a fund for indemnification, Mr. Giles declared he would not hesitate a moment to apply it to that object.
But will the gentleman conclude, that because one nation has injured us in a degree, against which we have no redress; that therefore we shall not indemnify ourselves from a nation which has injured us in the extreme, and against which we have the most ample redress?
He believed the gentleman's coolness, his wisdom and his deliberation could not possibly lead him to such a result. With respect to discrimination in the conduct of the United States towards foreign nations, it necessarily grew out of the character of the conduct of other nations towards the United States.
To keep France out of the comparison, let this indiscriminate conduct, so much applauded, be applied to Great Britain and Holland:—Great Britain destroys our trade, plunders our property, and to her injuries adds insults and contempt—Holland engaged in the same cause, fosters our trade, and respects us as a nation. Under these circumstances do gentlemen contend that an indiscriminate conduct is due to Great Britain and to Holland? Or do they mean to carry this delicate indiscriminate conduct so far as to refuse to themselves all redress from one nation; because they would wish to deal out the same conduct to all others, whether they had offended or not? He said that discrimination was stamped in the front of the conduct of foreign nations towards us; and to make an indiscriminate return would be the worst and most unjust of all discriminations. He hoped gentlemen would pardon him, but he could not help thinking that they had carried their ideas upon this subject to the most fanciful absurdities. A gentleman (Mr. Smith, S.C.) yesterday remarked, that of late the condition of war had been much ameliorated as it regards the rights of property, and he thought the amelioration ought to be extended rather than abridged. Mr. Giles declared that he heartily joined him in his wishes, that the condition of war would ere long be ameliorated both as it regards property and persons. He hoped that mankind would soon learn more wisdom than to butcher each other for the amusement or security of the privileged orders of the world. From that source he believed all wars arose, and until the cause was banished from the earth, he feared the fatal effects resulting from it would continue to exist. He declared that he should view the banishment of the privileged orders from the world, as the surest harbinger of the approach of the millennium. But this is not the happy period of the world—For although the United States are free from this pest of the human species in their internal organization; yet the evils, they at this moment experience, arise from their external intercourse
with that part of the world which is less fortunate. The attack made on the United States at this moment, is an attack upon property, if there should be a war between the United States and Great Britain; it will be a war of property. Unless there should be a species of madness in the nation not to be calculated upon, they cannot think of invasion and subjugation. It is known that the United States cannot make an attack upon Great Britain; and territory and conquest with them are no objects. Hence the war will be confined to depredations upon property. This is the most dishonorable species of warfare, and therefore the more to be regretted. There is this obvious distinction however between the United States and Great Britain. With Great Britain, at least with the privileged orders, it is matter of choice—with the United States it is matter of compulsion—the United States despise this mode of warfare—they covet not the property of any nation upon earth, but self-preservation demands it. They are under the strong hand of a powerful nation, despising their rights, and regardless of justice. In this state of things there is but little hope of strengthening the sacred ties of property—For in the example of Great Britain, her late conduct, can furnish no consolation for these theoretic speculations; and however the United might be inclined to practice upon them, yet the British depredations will forbid them—for submission will be an invitation to new acts of aggression—he most ardently wished the state of things were otherwise, but exposed to these inconveniences, the most effectual means ought to be adopted for their resistance.

From the SALEM GAZETTE.
MR. CUSHING,
I AM a high son of liberty—and sincerely with the guillotine may be the portion of every one who does not think as I do. I am a true friend to the freedom of the press—and think the Printers ought to publish freely every thing offered them on the right side of public questions—and to be turned out of their employment if they publish on the wrong side.—I am considerably older than you are, Mr. Cushing, and am therefore wiser by the experience of age; and besides, I have more money, and have formerly been a member of the House, and must
therefore be allowed to know more about politics than you, or even than men of equal age and property with myself, who have been confined to the narrow walks of private life. These things being considered, it will plainly appear, that I ought to keep an eye over the Editors of newspapers; for if these sources of information become impure, those who drink of their streams will be poisoned—and if men of my importance don't give lessons to the Printers, who will? The Printers, Mr. Cushing, have it in their power to do more good than any class of people whatever—if they would not contradict each other, they would have none to contradict them; and so they might make all their readers think alike, act alike—and in the course of time, I have no doubt, to even look alike—and if you get them all to think, act and look on the right side of things, what a happy people should we be!
Now, Mr. Printer, you did very wrong in your last, (and I have heard twenty people say the same) to publish the pieces signed "An Elector" and "Essex"—it is your duty not to publish any thing for those aristocratic dogs, who don't think as I do about certain men. Don't you see that they want to enslave us all—to overset our state governments—to destroy the freedom of thinking, and speaking our minds about public men and public measures? Why 'tis as plain as the nose in your face—and if you continue to print for such tyrannical lordlings, you are no better than a traitor to your country, and will deserve to be sent to France, to be made a head shorter. Indeed nothing saves you from present damnation, but the piece which followed, signed "A Merchant." Now there you did right, to publish in favor of the old Patriot of '75—only it ought to have put him up for Governor, instead of that crafty aristocrat, Judge Cushing, who wants to sue all the States.
Now, Mr. Printer, if you mean to conduct a Free Press, which is essential to liberty, don't print any more for those people whose sentiments tend to the destruction of all freedom. They are rank old Tories, who wish to throw us into the hands of Great Britain, as they did in '75. We have now too many of her friends stinging us in our bosom. And mark a certain class, and watch them narrowly—they are the most dangerous—I mean some who are continually blustering in the streets about the British, and pretend they would sacrifice money, limbs and life, to revenge their insults, and crush their power—when, all the time, they keep open shops for the sale of British manufactures, which you know are the very sinews of their strength; and to cut which, would at once revenge their injuries, and make the haughty Briton crawl at our feet.
If you should have any more electioneering or political pieces, Mr. Cushing, show them to me, and I will tell you whether they will do to print.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Thursday, December 12.
Evening Sitting.
A great number of female citizens demand the speedy trial of their incarcerated parents and relatives.
President—"The welfare of the people is the supreme law. It is the law which dictated the arrest of suspected persons. The convention will weigh in its wisdom your claims. The law shall punish the guilty and absolve the innocent.—The convention invites you to wait with confidence the decision of the law. You are admitted to the sitting." Applause.
The Convention referred the petition to the committee of general safety, and ordered the President's answer to be inserted the bulletin.
Friday, Dec. 23.
A commissary of war appeared at the bar, and wished to be heard, when some contention ensued.
Bourdon of Oise—"It is truly astonishing that you should refuse to hear a man who comes to denounce the non-execution of the laws, and to entreat the Convention to break the chains of 1000 brave Republicans, who languish at Mentz through the neglect of the Minister at War."
The Commissary of War being permitted to speak, said "When Mentz was evacuated, the Prussians detained 1000 Frenchmen as hostages, till the expenses of the departure of our columns, and those of the hospitals, should be defrayed, and all their debts paid."
"Tired of their long and rigorous captivity, our unfortunate brothers in arms obtained leave for one of them to come to Paris, to demand the execution of the law. That citizen is arrived a month ago. He vainly ran forwards and backwards through the war offices, and to the national treasury. The one sent him back to the other, without coming to any point."
Mean while those brave Republicans at Sans Shoes, Sans Stockings, Sans Shirts, Sans Money, Sans every thing! They are quite naked, and many of them will perish through the inclemency of the winter, if the Convention does not relive them."
Bourdon would not slip this opportunity to inveigh most violently against the Minister at War; and moved, that Bouchotte be summoned immediately to the bar, to account for the delay of releasing those hostages.
The Convention decreed, that the minister be summoned to the bar during the present sitting.
A young maiden complained of the hard and cruel treatment which she experienced on the part of her parents, for refusing to marry a man whom she does not love.—Referred to the committee of legislation.
The Convention passed a long decree, respecting the plan of national education.
Bouchotte, the war minister, appeared at the bar, and read several written documents, tending to clear his conduct with regard to the 1000 hostages still detained at Mentz. He proved, that ever since the end of last August, he gave orders to pay the enemy the sums stipulated for the enfranchisement of those hostages, and that he had since sent considerable sums for their support.
Bourdon of Oise observed, that those sums ought to have been sent six months ago. He read a letter signed Brunswick, granting permission to let pass the sum of 20,000 crowns, expended by the prisoners at Mentz.
Referred to the committee of public welfare.
Saturday, Dec. 14.
Lecointre of Versailles—"About the latter end of October, we received several denunciations against an armed force, calling itself revolutionary, commanded by Turlen, Aid-du-camp to General Henriot.
The commonalities of Thieux, Jully, and others of the district of Meaux, have been the victims of its robberies. At Corbeil the same infamous transactions have taken place, and the particulars attending them are so atrocious as to make one shrink back with horror.
"On the 30th of November, a detachment of that armed force, forming a kind of van-guard, all armed with hangers, and girded with pistols, entered at ten o'clock at night the dwelling of Citizen Gilbon, the father of a family of eleven children—an old man, past 75 years of age, and a farmer at Tigery, near Corbeil, who keeps three ploughs. Having entered the kitchen, the chief of the horde gave orders to a piquet of 50 men, forming the corps of reserve, to remain without doors, to guard the house and waggon which followed them.
"He asked what was the name of the citizens present, and who was the master? Being answered that the latter was in bed, he went there, forced him to put on his cloaths, and demanded that all the arms be delivered up to him. The wife of Gilbon delivered a hunting-piece, the only article of fire-arms which the house contained; then the whole horde seized the body of old Gilbon, dragged him into an adjacent room, struck, bound and handcuffed him with his hands behind his back, tied them down to his feet, and covered his head with a sack. The wife and ten servants, two of whom were females, all shared the same fate. Then those ruffians demanded of Gilbon the keys of his drawers and chest, "to verify," said they, "if they could not find some fleurs de-lys, or some other articles contrary to law."
"Gilbon promised obedience if they would untie his hands. They refused, searched and wrested from him his keys. No sooner were the doors opened, than the ruffians seized and carried off 26 covers, a soup basin, 3 soup and ragoo spoons, and 3 gorgets, marked Louis Gilbon, 2 snuff boxes, 40 counters, and 2 watches, all made of silver; another watch in a gold case, and various other effects, especially a gold cross and a silver key chain, which the wife of Gilbon was then wearing: They tore the cross from her neck, saying they would take a process verbal of it as soon as they should be quiet and easy at Melun, and that those effects were to be carried to the waggon which remained before the door with the escort.
"They then asked Gilbon, where was his coined specie? "If thou givest not de-

it," said one of them, "the guillotine is at the door—I will be thy executioner." Gilbon prayed to be untied, that he might point it out. They carried him off a second time into his kitchen, where they said to him, "we will make thee sing." They left the rest bound down in the hall, dragged old Gilbon close to the fire, and applied his naked foot to the burning coals! He uttered a dreadful scream; terror and consternation seized the whole house; the ruffians retired, breaking a chest pointed out to them, in which they found and carried off 72 livres in specie, and between 5 and 600 livres more, in assignats, which he had just received as the price of his corn in requisition, which he sends every day to Corbeil, to supply Paris.
"These monsters, not contented with their booty, broke the cellar doors, let off a cask full of vinegar, and took the supper and the wine of the family; and at midnight, satiated with cruelty, and inebriated with wine, they retired, leaving the whole family in the ropes and manacles with which they had bound them.
"A process verbal, taken by the justice of peace of the canton, accompanied by the municipal officers of Tigery, and by the surgeon of Corbeil, who had been called to dress the wounds and contusions of Gilbon & his people, prove the authenticity of the facts of which I have just given a feeble sketch.
"I must inform you, citizens, that such is the stupor of the country people, that the unfortunate who suffer torments of this kind, durst not complain, deeming themselves but too fortunate to have escaped death.
"All that bears the name of armed force, now inspires them with the utmost terror; and your ears would not even now be struck with this atrocious narrative if Gilbon's son, who is my farmer, had not had an opportunity to come to me respecting some other business."
Andre Dumont, representative at Abbeville, wrote from that place December 10, that he left Amiens, after having thrown into prison the agents of the rebels. He further stated, that he came to Abbeville to celebrate a fete to Reason, which was solemnized upon a mountain; a priest, released from prison, was there married to the widow of a soldier, in the presence of 7000 persons. He burnt all the saints, saw the goddess of liberty seated upon a palanquin, and heard a civic sermon preached, which terminated with the oaths taken by the people to exterminate the tyrants, and a salute of the artillery.—He added that Amiens was perfectly regenerated, and that he had banished all the foreigners, and the agents of La Vendee.

CARLISLE, (Penn.) April 2.
A correspondent wishes to inform the gentlemen of Philadelphia who have been speculating in New Found Lands in the Counties of Cumberland and Mifflin, that owing to the carelessness of some hunters not putting out their fires, the mountains were set on fire, and considerable damage sustained in the timber and stones—the land remains unhurt, being too deep under the stones to receive any injury.
PITTSBURGH, April 5.
The latest intelligence from the army is by letters dated Cincinnati, March 6th. The Indian flag, Whiteeyes, &c. had given reason to expect 30 chiefs to treat, with all the prisoners amongst them, to be with General Wayne by the 14th of February. The General in order to give them a good impression of our force, was at the expence of bringing the Cavalry from Kentucky, where they were wintering. But no Indians had appeared. It is most probable the British discovering their intention, have had a talk, and have removed their dissatisfaction, and encouraged them to continue war. This would seem to be confirmed by the accounts via New-York. Ensign Bradshaw and lieutenant Hutton had fallen in a duel. They fought with rifled barrel pistols, at 10 paces distance. Both fell at the same instant. Bradshaw shot through the breast; Hutton in the side. The former expired after a few convulsions; the latter languished two days. The cause of the difference, some trifling misunderstanding, and altercation of words.
General Wayne had prepared to march to Au-Glaize river, where there were said
to be 200 Indians collected. The Miami towns were deserted, so that it was unnecessary to pursue the same route which General St. Clair had intended.
PHILADELPHIA,
APRIL 12.
By Capt. Drinkwater from Portland, district of Maine, we learn that a vessel arrived there the last day of March, on board of which were 60 American seamen, who had been captured in the West Indies.
The number of American captures in the West Indies has been gradually encreasing in the Newspaper accounts till it now amounts, according to an estimate published in a Charleston paper, "to not less than six hundred sail."
It has been published that the Ambuscade French Frigate, had captured and carried into Norfolk, the British Frigate Hussar , on Thursday the 3d inst. The Virginia Chronicle , of Saturday the 5th, contains no account of this affair.
The ship Charleston , Capt. Garman, sails for Charleston to-morrow morning. On board this vessel are shipped 28 pieces of heavy brass howitzers, and brass and iron cannon, with their carriages, &c. also a large quantity of cannon ball, &c. belonging to the magazines of the United States, and sent to Charleston for the defence of that harbour.
A sensible Quaker in London, hearing many complain of the length of the late American war, and say it was nursed and spun out for the emolument of Generals, Admirals, Commanders and Contractors, replied he could promise a plan to have all wars brought to a speedy conclusion. It was to allow all officers by sea and land full pay in time of peace—and only half pay whilst a war lasted.
Extract of a letter dated St. Croix, the 1st March to a merchant in this city.
"We are this day relieved from our apprehensions of a war between Britain and America, in consequence of the late instructions from the court of London, to respect neutral bottoms, and to make restitution for all neutral captures, except such as the universal law of nations proscribe, to wit—A neutral attempting to introduce supplies in the moment of invasion, &c. &c. This is joyful tidings for those who do not come within the letter of that article—and our people begin to believe there is no latitude."
Senate of Pennsylvania.
Yesterday the Comptroller-General of the Commonwealth attended in the Senate chamber, to hear the decision of that house in regard to his trial, when the Speaker, agreeable to resolution, informed Mr. Nicholson, that the Senate had not found him guilty of all or any of the articles of impeachment exhibited against him by the House of Representatives, and that therefore he was now discharged. Shortly after Mr. Nicholson waited on the Governor and gave in his resignation, which was accepted.
The office which this gentleman has filled exactly 14 years ending with this day, is consequently vacant.
A writer in the New-York Diary of Thursday last, speaking of "the measures which the exigency of public affairs demands," says—Amongst the foremost of which, is immediately to convene a Meeting of our Fellow Citizens ; in order to express our entire concurrence in the motion made by Mr. Dayton in Congress, for The Sequestration of British Debts . 'Tis idle and ridiculous to talk of honor and generosity to a gang of thieves and plunderers. The discharge of one blunderbuss loaded with slugs, will do more execution, and strike more terror into the hearts of the banditti, than the parade of a hundred swords, regularly measured with paces and distances marked out in due form. The Mortar is already elevated and pointed—To elude the Bomb is impossible—but to make effectual it should be vertical—not a second counted betwixt the flash and the explosion—there is not a moment to be lost—put the match to the touch-hole—the glorious effect is certain—the golden opportunity lost will be irrecoverable.

THE TIMES, No. III.
A Guillotine! a guillotine in America! What, this terrible instrument of death, that chops off heads, as a butcher's cleaver severs the joints of a quarter of lamb! Bless our hearts and souls! Let us go to town and see the engine of the King of Terror, that mows down aristocrats in France like noisome weeds!
Well, what is a guillotine? Why, a machine as simple as a turner's lathe, or a black-smith's vise. It is not half so great a curiosity as Kinglsey's brick-mill , or the new machine for clearing wheat; and the machines used in the cotton manufactures, are infinitely more ingenious works, and as much greater curiosities, than the guillotine, as a ship is greater than an Indian canoe!
Yet all the world must go to see the guillotine: I am glad for the sake of citizen Baker; but tell me, gentle readers, why civilized man delights to hear of blood and slaughter, and to see even the instrument of the horrid business?
Is man a tyger, a savage, restrained only by laws and a little education; but let loose from these, delighting in war, in death & all the horrid deeds of savage ferocity. Say, ye casuists, what is man , this noblest work of God, when honest; but inflamed by passion, what is he but a beast of prey? A more ingenious animal indeed; for the beast has the teeth, the horns, and the poisonous sting that nature gave him to destroy his adversary; but man has improved upon the works of nature and invented numberless weapons of destruction. One part of men are forging bloody instruments, to slay another part, and a third, more fortunate perhaps, amuse themselves with staring at the horrid spectacle.
BALTIMORE, April 10.
Extract of a letter from the captain of an American vessel, to his owners in this place, dated Falmouth, Jan. 8, 1794.
"A report is current here, and generally believed, that immediately after the meeting of parliament, Great Britain will declare war against America. In consequence of the instructions issued on the 6th November, upwards of 300 privateers have been fitted out, from the different ports of this kingdom; one of which sent in here, a few days ago, the ship Active , of Philadelphia, with a cargo valued at 50,000l. She is condemned & to be sold for the benefit of the captors. A war between America and England appears certain—it is the common topic, & expected by every body. By the king's proclamation we are liable to seizure—but as we have put in here in distress, I presume the rigor of the law will not be enforced.
"This day failed from here, a large fleet, under convoy, for the Baltic. A Spanish 74 gun ship, with 500,000 dollars on board, is now lying here: it is part of the cash intended for government, on account of the Nootka-Sound business."
IMPROMPTU ON PEACE.
Come sacred peace—from Heaven descend, True source of bliss—and Freedom's friend; Let Gallia see thy smiling form, Assuage her woes—allay the storm; And Liberty in thy bright car— Rise o'er the ravages of war. Let Albion, with the powers combin'd, Re-sheathe the sword—and bless mankind.

Mr. FENNO, Please to give the following Extracta place in your paper, and thereby oblige A CUSTOMER.
EXTRACT.
FROM all th' unsettled humours of the land, Sedition forms her motley daring band; With graceless front, and senseless stunning noise, They strive to drown their country's peaceful voice; Though widows weep, and orphan children starve, Through blood, to place and wealth, their way they'd carve.—
The proud inferior—levelling's his part, However mask'd, a tyrant in his heart; The desperate, whose ebbing cash runs low, From privateering trusts to see it flow; Who pants for fame, with fond conceit elate Dreams of each rogue, who rose to rule a state;
The mob-led patriot, idol of a day, The goods of peace would sell for one huzza; The private scoundrel, full of public zeal, Thinks none so fit to guide the common-wealth;
Disappointed statesmen, join in the cry, And credit give to ev'ry news-made lie; E'en canting bigots join th' atheist hordes, And thirst, with blood, to stain their murder'd swords.
Thus motley, clashing interests combine, Which no good cause could e'er unite & join; Thus anarchy to government pretends, And freedom's parricides are deem'd her friends. Such friends as brought proud Athens to the ground, As Rome once nurs'd, Columbia now has found.—
The fruitful bough, that breaks beneath its weight; The croud of sail, that sinks the golden freight; The blood too rich, that bursts the torrid vein; The high swollen stream, that drowns the fertile plain;
To these as mirrors freedom may resort, And see her wanton, senseless, cruel sport: In these the mock-patriot's clearly to be seen, And all the mischiefs of the frantic scene.— O liberty! the lust thy charms inspire, Destroys thyself, and sets the world on fire. Chaste liberty, may God protect and bless, And damn the prostitute that apes her dress!

Henry Raper v. Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither. State of Maryland. High Court of Chancery, March 5th. 1794.
The Complainant states
in his bill that the defendants Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither were seized in fee as tenants in common of a tract of land in Frederick County, called Hammond's Strife; that being so seized, Basil executed a power of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to sell his, the said Basil's interest in the said land, that afterwards the said Benjamin sold the said land to a certain William Gaither for the consideration of six hundred pounds which hath been since paid, that the said William hath assigned to the Complainant Henry Raper the bond executed by the said Benjamin for the conveyance of the said land: The Complainant now further states (and so appears to the Chancellor) that the defendants are non-residents of the State of Maryland, and therefore out of the reach of the process of this court.
It is therefore adjudged and ordered, that the Complainant procure a copy of this order to be inserted in the newspaper of Angell and Sullivan, and in the United States Gazette at least three times successively, before the twentieth day of May next; to the intent that the Defendants and all others, who may conceive themselves interested in the premises, may have notice to appear in this court, on or before the third Tuesday in September next, to show cause wherefore a decree should not pass for vesting in the Complainant a complete legal title to the land aforesaid.

AN ESSAY ON THE
Natural Equality of Men,
On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.
