PHOCION—No. XIV.
IT will not now be denied, by any person ac- quainted with the state of public affairs at the a- larming crisis in the summer of 1793, of which we have been speaking, that Mr. Jefferson was averse to the President's issuing his proclamation of neu- trality, and that he advised the calling together of congress, deeming the proclamation a step too im- portant to rest on the President's bare authority.— Whether this advice proceeded from a secret wish to involve us in war, or from a constitutional timidity, is immaterial to the present question: certain it is, that such a step would have been fatal to the peace and tranquility of America: certain it is, that Gen- et, and all the Jacobins of the country, and all the democratic societies, were extremely anxious for such a step: and while they rested all their hopes of war on the meeting of congress, there was no man, who valued the welfare of this country, who did not then shudder at the idea of such a calamity.— For had congress been convened in Philadelphia in the summer of 1793, bringing together all the pas- sions which had been artfully excited in various parts of the Union, finding a mass of passions ready prepared in the metropolis, operated on by all the wiles and intrigues of Genet, and the manoeuvres of the democratic society, congress would, most un- doubtedly, have been driven to some intemperate act, of which war would have been the immediate consequence.
If it was so difficult to restrain a party in congress from carrying hostile measures in the winter follow- ing, when the passions had considerably abated, when the public mind had manifested a marked wish for neutrality, and when Genet's influence was al- most frustrated, how impossible would it have been to have resisted them, in the midst of these agita- tions, which convulsed the whole nation, in the summer of '93, in the midst of those political tem- pests and whirlwinds which were then directed by Genet? The few rational and moderate lovers of peace, instead of being listened to with that atten- tion which their opinions afterwards excited, would have been silenced by the overwhelming acclama- tions of a factious enthusiasm, and swept away from their ground by the irresistible torrent of exaspera- ted passions.
Well might Genet wish for the calling of con- gress,* when he found that he could not mould the executive to his views: well might he rave and threaten, when he found the advice of the secretary of state, on which he had depended, over-ruled in the council, by the discretion of the two other se- cretaries, and by the wisdom and firmness of the President!
The letters which Mr. Jefferson afterwards wrote to Genet and to Mr. Morris, and which have been quoted by his friends as evidences of his opposition to Genet's intrigues, prove only, that Mr. Jefferson possessed political sagacity enough to foresee, that had he, after the public sentiment was fixed, per- sisted in encouraging Genet, he would, like his less cunning successor, have been disgracefully dismissed from office, and, like him, ruined in the public es- timation: for, like the friends of the insurrection when they saw the government strongest, he there- fore made an ostentatious display of "his zeal to maintain our independence and self-government." It is evident, that Genet considered this conduct as a defection from his cause; for in his letter, referred to in the note, he complains bitterly of Mr. Jeffer- son's treachery and abandonment. He uses, in that letter, these remarkable expressions: "Besides, sir, whatever may be the result of the achievement of which you have rendered yourself the generous instrument, AFTER HAVING MADE ME BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE MY FRIEND, AFTER HAVING INITIATED ME INTO MYSTERIES which have inflamed my ha- TRED against all those who ASPIRE TO AN ABSOLUTE POWER, there is an act of justice," &c. page 70.
Here Genet complains of Jefferson's treache- rously becoming the instrument of his recall, after having persuaded him that he was his friend, and influenced Genet's hatred against the President, and the rest of the administration; in fact, after having caballed with this foreign agent, and by calumnies against the executive, inflamed him to hatred and excited him to resistance. Again, page 73, Gen- et says to him, in the language of reproach, "If I have shown firmness (in opposing the President) it is, because it was not in my character to speak as many people do, in one way, and act in another, to have an OFFICIAL language, and a language con- FIDENTIAL."
Nothing further is necessary to prove, beyond a doubt, the improper encouragement which the se- cretary of state had given to Genet to resist the President's authority; were any further proof re- quisite we might refer to the writings of Hel- vetius†, written in the month of July by a confident- ial friend of Mr. Jefferson, for the express pur- pose of proving that the President had no authori- ty to issue the proclamation of neutrality, and in- viting the people to disobey it; we might refer to the observations which prevented the recall of Gen- et, which did not take place till the 16th August, though he had dictated to and insulted the President as early as June, and which objections and delay, must have arisen altogether from the division of op- inion which existed in the cabinet; to what other cause can we ascribe the delay of demanding the recall of a foreign agent, who had grossly insulted
* In his letter to the secretary of state (printed Cor- resp. p. 72) among other causes of complaint against the President, he states the following: "That he has wreke congress immediately, in order to take the true sen- timents of the people, to fix the political system of the United States, and to decide whether they will break, suspend, or tighten, their bonds with France—an honest measure, which would have avoided to the government much contradiction and subterfuge."
† These writings were so much suited to Genet's views, that, in his letter to Jefferson, above quoted, he says, "I will join only, in support of the opi- nions which I meant to profess, some writings which have been published here, such as those of Veritas, HELYDIUS," &c. Page 70.
the government of the country, from the begin- ning of June to the middle of August, but to the powerful support which that agent found, even in the department, where his conduct was most noto- rious, and against which his attacks had been the most outrageous?
When finally the measure of recall was agreed upon, and the secretary of state was at no loss for materials, on which to predicate it, when the Pres- ident's opinion, as well as that of the public, be- came too imposing to admit of further hesitation, then the secretary, to whom the talent of epistolary composition is not denied, produced an able letter, in which he endeavored to make atonement by ele- gance and energy of style for his previous miscon- duct and opposition.
I shall conclude this number with the following remarks: 1st. The circumstance of Mr. Jefferson's being an enthusiastic admirer of the French cause (as Hampden describes him to be) is far from re- commending him, in the judgment of all real A- mericans, to the presidency. The President of the United States ought to be an enthusiastic admirer of no cause, but that of his own country; enthusiasm, in a politician, is closely allied to error and passion, both of which are the bane of good government: but enthusiasm for a foreign country leads directly to subservience and devotion to foreign interests: a chief magistrate, enthusiastically attached to France, will therefore soon become a devoted tool of France.
2dly. I cannot discern the merit of Mr. Jeffer- son, of having, as Hampden expresses it, forborne to sacrifice the independence and self-government of his own country even to the glorious cause of France; what attachment must that man have to his own country who could, for a moment, consider this, as meritorious? Were the fact as stated (which I deny, and the contrary of which I have proved) I should never be induced to view, as me- ritorious, the mere forbearance to be a traitor to one's country, by sacrificing its independence and self-government to the views of a foreign nation.

MR. FENNO, THERE is something so very extraordinary in the substance of the communication of Citizen A- det, in the mode by which it is notified to the pub- lic, and the particular juncture of doing it, that it must excite no less alarm, than enquiry into the caus- es which have led to it.
The principle laid down by Citizen Adet as the basis of the late decree, is neither warranted by the usage of nations nor the laws of neutrality, & would annul all treaties, as soon as either of the contract- ing parties found it convenient, for he establishes it as a principle, "that a nation at war is not bound to observe a treaty, whenever that treaty tends to her detriment, by being advantageous to her ene- my." What use is there in a treaty if either of the contracting parties may break it, as soon as they find it injurious? Was not the article of the treaty, to which the decree alludes, made with a view to a war between France and some other na- tion, the United States remaining neutral? Did not France know when she agreed to that article, that, by the law of nations, French property would be li- able to seizure in American bottoms? Was not the law of nations so stated to be by Vattel, a writer of high authority in France? Did not France then make the stipulation with us, in contemplation of that inconvenience, of which she now complains, with the expectation of being compensated for it by the ad- vantage she would derive from the operation of other parts of the treaty? What pretence then can she have now for complaint, when the United States have strictly pursued the law of nations, the law of neutrality and the treaty? None whatever. France may, for a time, avail herself of superior force to molest us, but her conduct towards us must be condemned by every impartial tribunal.—The mode of announcing the communication is no less remarkable than the communication itself: an of- ficial notification by a foreign minister to the execu- tive of the United States, is printed in a newspaper (hostile to the executive and to the government) be- fore the executive has seen it! The first notice the President will have of this communication and de- cree will be the reading it in Bache's paper! and the decree itself declares that it, shall not be prin- ted! The time at which it is made is no less wor- thy of notice.—Citizen Adet says he will cause this note to be printed, in order to make publicly known the motives, which, at the present juncture, influence the French republic. Why at the present juncture, while the whole American nation is engaged in the choice of their chief magistrate, when the same caus- es have existed for three years, without producing this decree? Citizen Adet tells us, "that the French government finds itself, with respect to America, at the present time, in circumstances similar to those of '93." Fellow Citizens! I remember '93! Genet then openly interested in the direction of our gov- ernment; he declared to the President, and appeal- ed to the people! If this publication of Citizen A- det looks like an appeal to the people, it is time the people should be heard. Nov. 1. One of the People.
FOR THE GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Amongst the extraordinary circumstances that from daily observation we experience, there is none more remarkable, than that the greater the advan- tages the people seem to derive from their liberty, the nearer they draw to the critical moment of lo- sing it. The people have hitherto found out but two modes of government, either they must under- take, collectively to govern themselves, and here they will become both governors and the governed, a system very impracticable over this immense coun- try, or they must be governed by their representa- tives, whom they have constitutionally appointed to govern. But when once they have determined upon the representative mode, and have exercised their right of suffrage in the choice of representatives, any attempt on the part of any number of indivi- duals to dictate, is absolute usurpation and down- right aristocracy. And yet strange as it may seem, a certain set of men amongst us, who assume the name of friends of liberty, and who cry, down with aristocracy, arrogate to themselves a co-ordinate
power with those they have chosen to command them. Incapable of bearing the very power they have intrusted, they want to do every thing of them- selves—to debate for the senate, to judge for the magistrate, and to enforce the laws for the execu- tive.
Were this the case, generally, virtue could no longer exist in the republic. I will ask, what check could the constitution have contained, which is not to be found in that instrument, restraining the re- presentative from oppressive measures? He can sanction no law which will not have its full operation on himself, as well as on the whole society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest ties by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. If a spirit of discrimination should ever be introduced, so as to tolerate a law not ubi- gatory on the legislature, as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate any thing, but liberty. Duty, interest, gratitude, are the li- gaments which bind the representatives to fidelity and sympathy with the great mass of the commu- nity.
What then are we to understand by the objection which this paper combats? What are we to expect from the men who profess the most flaming zeal for republicanism, yet boldly impugn the fundamental principles of it? who pretend to be champions for the right and capacity of the people to choose their own rulers, yet maintain that they will prefer those only who will infallibly betray the trust committed to them? Nothing but anarchy and confusion, disor- ganisation and disunion. The charge of a conspir- acy against the liberties of the people, and the per- petual changes which have been rung upon the wealthy and the well born, have been such as to in- spire general disgust, and excite the indignation of every one who feels within himself a refutation of the calumny.
Let us now pause, and ask ourselves, if the un- warrantable misrepresentations which have been practiced, and the various falsehoods which have been industriously circulated to influence the ap- proaching election, deserve not the reprobation of all honest men, and be not of a nature to demand great precautions against the repetition of those practices, which have undermined the foundations of society, planted distrust in all classes of citizens, occasioned an almost universal prostration of morals, and finally issued in the subversion of good govern- ment.

BOSTON, October 25.
FOREIGN NEWS.
We have again an opportunity of presenting to the public the latest news from Europe. The treaty between France and Spain, is clearly demonstrative of the inevitability of a Spanish and English war; a sudden peace only can prevent it. Jourdan conti- nues his retreat; and private accounts say, his ar- my baggage has already re-crossed the Rhine.— Frankfort is re-taken. Moreau is said to have re- ceived a check. From this gloomy information, the friends to French successes may turn with rapture to the official letters of Buonaparte, whose victories, in quick succession, increase in brilliancy and im- portance.
There are no official letters either from Jourdan or Moreau, in the papers we have received, later than those published in our last.
The king of Naples, it is said, is again in hos- tility with the French.—(Boston Mercury.) Extract of a letter from a Bolognian in Bordeaux, September 14.
"A decree has been passed by this government, which permits their armed vessels to take any vessels under neutral colours, which may have enemy's pro- perty on board; declaring, that, in future, the flag shall not neutralise the goods. This, you will re- collect, is directly contrary to an existing treaty.— One ship, belonging to Charleston, and bound to that place from Bremen, was, in consequence of this decree, brought in here a few days since; but nothing could be proved against her, and she has been released, with a very handsome sum for dem- urrage—which is some consolation for wanting faith in treaties."
A letter was yesterday handed to us dated Havre, September 6, stating, a report was in circulation, that Mr. Monroe was ordered to quit Paris in twen- ty-four hours, and that war was to be declared a- gainst America. In consequence of the alarm ex- cited by this report, the writer inveighs most ac- rimoniously against our treaty with England, and its makers; but a few days proving the error of the rumour, probably restored him to good humour.
Verbal information from Halifax states, that ad- miral Gardner, with a fleet of ten sail of the line, had arrived on the banks of Newfoundland. Several vessellers had arrived at Halifax from England.
Tho' accounts of Newfoundland mention Bull's Bay as a hamlet of huts and hovels—we are told, there were many large and handsome houses there.

ENGLISH ACCOUNTS.
From the London Gazette, Sept. 23. Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Capt. Antrobus, by the right hon. Lord Grenville, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs.
Head-quarters of his royal highness the archduke Charles, Windecken, September 10.
MY LORD, I have the satisfaction of informing your lordship, that the progress of the Austrian arms continues to be marked by brilliant and uninterrupted success.
His royal highness the archduke, having quitted his camp near Wurzburg on the 5th, pushed on a strong advanced guard, under the command of lieut. gen. Kray, to secure the De Bouquet of the Spessart. That officer, arriving in the neighbour- hood of Aschaffenburg in the afternoon of the 9th, found the enemy, to the number of two thou- sand men, posted so as to dispute the pass from the forest. After a severe cannonade, which lasted a considerable time, he attacked them with much spi- rit, drove them from their advantageous position; and his cavalry, still pursuing them without hesita- tion through the town, dispersed them in the woods.

the other side of the Meyn. The loss of the enemy on this occasion amounts to above a thousand men, of whom six hundred are prisoners. The archduke advanced on the 7th to Aschaffenburg, where the main body halted on the 8th—but intelligence being received that the enemy had abandoned Frankfurt the preceding night, the advanced guards were pushed on successively to the Kintzig and the Nidda. On the 9th, his royal highness marched to Dettingen, and on the 10th to Windecken; the advanced corps occupying the important point of Friedberg. Ten thousand men, drawn from the garrison of Mayence, have advanced towards Königstein (which was abandoned by the enemy on the 8th) and will be a very essential reinforcement of infantry to the army. The consequences of these rapid and decisive movements have exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine, and have uniformly frustrated the designs and efforts of the enemy. Jourdan, who after the action of the 3d, had directed his retreat on to Fulda, was still in hopes of gaining before the archduke, the strong position of Bergen, where, reinforced by the two divisions which had been left behind in the neighborhood of Frankfort, he might have checked for a time the progress of the Austrians. In this view he arrived by forced marches at Schluchtern, on the great road from Fulda to Hanau, in the evening of the 6th; but finding that the duke was already master of Aschaffenburg, he gave up his attempt; and, turning to the right, directed his march across the Vogelsberg, towards Wetzlaer, where, it is reported, he is endeavouring to assemble his army. From information of the most authentic nature, relative to the present situation of the French troops, I can venture to assure your lordship, that they are in a state of the utmost confusion and despondency. A great part of the infantry have thrown away their arms, and are almost naked. Their retreat has lost all semblance of order, and has become a tumultuous flight. Excessive fatigue has probably destroyed more of them than the sword; and the continual dread they apprehend of a general rising of the peasantry in the countries they traverse, has spread a panic among them, which renders them deaf to the commands of their officers. The loss which Jourdan has sustained since he advanced from the Lahn, may be estimated, without exaggeration, at twenty thousand men; a number which must be daily increased by desertion, in the present state of his army. The conduct of the French, during their abode in this country, has exhibited a scene of depravity, which is degrading to human nature. Robbery and peculation have been universal in every rank and in every department of the army. Every species of violence has been exercised on the persons as well as on the properties of individuals. Many villages have been reduced to ashes, without the existence of even a pretext for this act of barbarity; and the countries, through which their army has passed, exhibits every where a spectacle of the utmost desolation and distress. I have the honor to be, &c.
R. ANSTRUTHER, Capt. 3d Guards. ARMY OF ITALY—French Accounts. Buonaparte, gen. in chief of the army of Italy, to the executive directory. Head-quarters at Trent, 20th Fructidor, Sept. 6. “ Citizens Directors. “The division of general Massena, passed the Adige, on the 16th, (Sept. 2,) at Galt, and arrived at the Alps on the 17th, following the great road of the Tyrol; the same day, at two in the morning, our cavalry, sabred the advanced posts of the enemy, and took from them six pieces of cannon. The division of general Angereau quitted Verona at the same time, and bore upon the Heights that separate the Venetian states from the Tyrolese. The division of general Vaubois departed at the same time from Storo. By the left side of the lake of Garda, his advanced guard arrived at Torbole, where he was joined by the brigade of general Cursue, who had himself embarked at Salo, on the lake of Garda; his advanced guard, commanded by the gen. of brigade St. Hillaire, met the enemy at Sarca, routed them and took fifty prisoners. On the 17th, at night, general Pigeon, commanding the light-infantry of general Massena's division, informed me, that the enemy in force had retained the village of Seravalle, that he had received orders to attack it; that he had forced the enemy, and made 300 prisoners. On the 18th (Sept. 4), at day-break, we found ourselves in the presence of the enemy; one of their divisions occupied the impregnable defiles of Morco; another beyond Adige, protected the intrenched camp of Mori. General Pigeon, with a part of the light-infantry, attacked the enemy with his riflemen; brigadier general Victor, with the 18th demi-brigade of infantry, pierced by the great road; this instant gen. Vaubois attacked the camp of Mori; after a vigorous contest of two hours, the enemy every where fell back. Citizen Marois, my aid-de-camp, carried an order to gen. Dubois to advance the 1st regiment of Hussars and pursue the enemy. This brave general put himself at their head, and decided the affair; but he received three balls, which mortally wounded him. One of his aids de-camp had just been killed at his side, an instant afterwards I found the general expiring—“I die (said he) for the republic—Would that I had time to know whether the victory is complete,”—He immediately expired. The enemy retired to Roveredo. I ordered general R-pont to pass with the 32d brigade, between that town and the Adige; general Victor, in the mean time, entered at full charge, the main-street; the enemy again fell back, leaving a great number of dead and prisoners. During this time gen. Vaubois forced the intrenched camp of Mori, and pursued the enemy on the other bank of the Adige. It was one in the afternoon, the enemy profited of the difficulties of the country to front us in all the defiles, and effected their retreat to Trent. We had then only taken three pieces of cannon, and 1000 prisoners.
“General Massena caused all the half-brigades to rally, and give a moment's repose to his division, during which we went, with two squadrons of cavalry, to reconnoitre the movements of the enemy in their retreat. They rallied before Calliano to cover Trent, and give time to their head-quarters to evacuate the place. Though beaten all the day, their position before Calliano was inattackable. The Adige almost touched the steep mountains, and formed a pass of 40 toises broad, closed by a village, and elevated castle, and a good wall, which joined the Adige to the mountain, where they had placed all their artillery. New dispositions were necessary. General Dammartin began a cannonade with eight pieces of light artillery. He had chosen a position which commanded the narrow parts of the mountain. Gen. Pigeon passed with the light-infantry upon the right: 300 riflemen threw themselves upon the shore of the Adige to commence the assault; and three demi-brigades, in a close column, and in battalions, passed the defile; the enemy harassed by the lively fire of our artillery, and the boldness of our soldiers, did not resist the mass of our columns, but abandoned the entrance of our pass. Terror spread through all their line. Our cavalry pursued. Citizen Marois, with 50 hussars, gained their head, and stopped the whole column of the enemy. He crossed it, and was himself surrounded, thrown upon the ground and wounded; a part of the enemy's force marched over his body; he is severely hurt, but none of his wounds are mortal. The chief of the 1st regiment of hussars is killed. Citizen Flissere, captain of my company of Guides, saw two pieces of cannon, on the point of escaping; he flew upon them with five or six guides; and, notwithstanding the efforts of the enemy, stopped the pieces. Six or seven thousand prisoners, 25 pieces of cannon, 50 caissons, seven standards—such are the fruits of the battle of Roveredo, one of the most successful of the campaign. The other loss of the enemy must have been considerable. On the 20th, at 8 in the morning, general Massena entered Trent. Wurmfier had quitted it in the evening, to take refuge by Bassano. General Vaubois, with his division, soon marched in pursuit of the enemy, whose rear-guard was entrenched at Lavis, behind the river Lavisio, and guarded the bridge which it was necessary for us to pass. General Dellemagne, not without much difficulty, passed, under the fire of the enemy, at the head of the 25th demi-brigade. General Murat passed at the head of a detachment of the 10th chasseurs, carrying an equal number of infantry. General Leclerc, with three chasseurs, and citizen Defaix, chief of the brigade of Allobroges, accompanied by twelve carabiniers, had been able to turn the enemy, and place themselves in ambush, about half a league in advance. The enemy's cavalry, as they were saving themselves at gallop, found themselves stopped. Leclerc was slightly wounded. The enemy endeavoured to open a passage, but the 12 carabiniers crossed their bayonets, and formed an inattackable rampart. The night was already dark; 100 of the enemy's hussars, and 3 or 400 infantry, with one standard of Wurmfier's hussars, were taken. You may soon expect a more bloody and decisive battle.”
(Signed) “ BUONAPARTE. ” BULLETIN TELEGRAPH. LISLE, September 19. “The army of Italy, pursuing its conquest, has beaten the enemy in six successive battles—taken 16000 men prisoners, 20 standards, 70 pieces of cannon, immense magazines, and 45 leagues of country. The wrecks of the army, with the general, are surrounded by the republican army.” (Signed) “ CHIAPP. ”
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1796. The President of the United States arrived in town the night before last from Mount Vernon.
GLORIOUS FEDERALISM OF VERMONT. RUTLAND, October 24. At the late election of a representative for the eastern district of this state to congress, the whole number of votes was 3,018. Of these 2,931 were for Mr. Buck. The scattering votes amounted to but 88, of which not more than three were for the same person.—We are happy to find that Mr. Buck's exertions, and federalism, have met with the universal approbation of his constituents.
LONDON, Sept. 23. Hoffman is returned from Paris, whither he had been dispatched by the Danish minister for a passport for a confidential agent of ours to repair to Paris for the purpose of opening a negotiation for peace. Mr. Hoffman's reception it is said was favorable; and the answer which he brings from the directory, though not divulged, is said to be conciliatory. [Other accounts state that the French still insist on the reduction of our fleet to 40 sail of the line, and the cession of Gibraltar and Jamaica.] At a meeting of a number of citizens, at Ogden's tavern, New-market ward, October 29, 1796. The two tickets for electors, which have been published in the news-papers, were read, and it was unanimously agreed to support the following as a truly Federal and Republican Ticket. The same having been framed and recommended at a respectable meeting of a number of the members of the legislature, and other citizens, the friends of order and good government, from different parts of the state, immediately previous to the rising of the assembly, viz.
 Israel Whelen, Philadelphia,  Samuel Miles,  Henry Wynkoop, Bucks,  John Arndt, Northampton,  Valentine Eckhardt, Berks,  Thomas Bull, Chester,  Robert Coleman, Lancaster,  John Carson, Dauphin,  William Wilson, Northumberland, 
 Samuel Pofflethwaite, Cumberland,  Jacob Hay, York,  Benjamin Elliott, Huntingdon,  Ephraim Douglas, Fayette,  John Woods, Allegheny,  Thomas Stokely, Washington. 
On motion it was resolved, that the following address to the citizens of Pennsylvania, be signed by the chairman and published. Fellow-Citizens, At a period when the peculiar situation of our country calls for no common share of wisdom, patriotism and frugality in the chief magistrate of the United States, are we summoned to the choice of electors of a President and Vice-President, and on the prudence of that choice, will in a great measure depend our future peace and happiness. Whilst the desolating sword of War is destroying the fairest countries in Europe—America is kept in peace. The wise and prudent system of policy, adopted by our present administration, dispelled the clouds which for a while darkened our political horizon, and secured to our country prosperity and happiness. We are now to determine, whether, approving of the measures adopted by George Washington , and sensible of the blessings they have conferred on our country, we will choose electors who have uniformly evinced an approbation of his conduct, and may therefore be expected to give their suffrages in favor of men who will probably continue the same system of wise and patriotic policy.—If such be our determination, the persons now recommended will naturally become the objects of our choice. To the prudence of those republican citizens, sincerely attached to our national government, we may safely entrust the power of making appointments so important and interesting. With no desire of dictating to our fellow-citizens, and with no interest but what is common to all, do we address you. The happiness of our country is involved in the choice that shall be made, and we therefore solicit your warmest exertions in support of characters whose suffrages will ensure the peace and prosperity of the United States. GEORGE LATIMER, Chairman. Attest. JOSEPH HOPKINSON, Sec'y.

STOP THE THIEVES!!!
LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19. Between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Elliott's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward.
It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.
One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21. d
