DEDICATORY ADDRESS,
Spoken by Mr. HODKINSON, Oct. 29, at the opening of the NEW FEDERAL THEATRE, and, by desire, on the 30th Oct. the evening of the President's Birth Day.
Written by THOMAS PAINE, A. M. Author of Adams and Liberty, &c. &c.
The old Federal Theatre was destroyed by fire Feb. 4, 1798, four years after it was first erected.
Flammis relectum, ruina viridit.
ONCE more, kind patrons of the Thespian art, Friends to the science of the human heart, Behold the temple of the muse aspire, A Phoenix Stage, which propagates by FIRE! Each fault reformed, and each grace renews, By magic read, and with enchantment view'd, Our dome, new mantled, mid its raved wall, Stands, like Atrides, stronger by its fall— And like Cæsar's ghost, in Trojan strife, In spires rises larger than its life!
Ye, who have oft with pleasant obsequious trace Each latent charm our mimic art has grace, While hours yet active, when retrospection views The woes and wanderings of the scenic Muses, Since from the cradle of her young renown, Her infant warblings lured the listening town, To the dark arena, when one luckless hour Her empire ravisht, and dethron'd her power, Till proudly towering o'er the Gothic wale Thro' chaos smil'd this paradise of tale: The mystic maids who here unite their reign, Whom bands and actors' bit implore in vain, With truth's warm rapture, bid you welcome all, Gents, belles, and godlings, to their fairy hall— Where Sardanapalus's spirit, who delights to flit O'er critics' noses, moaning in the pit, Like Hamlet's father, arm'd from calque to landals, Shall visit the glimpses of our candles!
If blest by those kind smiles, whose beams impart Pulse to the brain, and vigor to the heart, The Drama now her languid powers will rear, The laugh awaken, and exhale the tear; Correct, yet animate, she aims to join, SALVATOR scoulds, with HOGARTH's waving line, And hopes, aspiring, by your favour warm'd, Again to charm you, as she once has charm'd!
Nor need her friends, with fear's retorted glance, Recall the horrors of her late mischance, When wrapt in burning flames, and awful gloom, She saw her temple mouldering to her tomb!
No more that scene's awful eye behold, While extant elements the walls uphold; Nor shall one tear from homeless genius start, To glat the savage pleasure of his heart!
To guard our fate, APOLLO bid his lyre, And leagued the Gods of water and of fire— Crump'd VULCAN designd his Cyclop den to quit, And clothe in Panoply the Dome of Wit; While NATURA gave an urn of such vast use, 'Tis always filling, like the widow's cruse!
Now, (heaven forbid!) by hidden ways and means, Should whelming fire again invest our scenes, Left on your heads the blazing roof should fall, We'll spring the Aqueduct, and drown you all!
"Tilburn first, Jink me," cries a spruce young Bobby, "Splash me, I shan't be fitt'd walth the lobby!"
"If rook or dropp's the word, your five commence, Sir, That cloutin' water always spits my spencer!"
How wife men differ! Water, fons would think, Would wash away the stain of Taylor's sink!
But don't swoon, beaus! another mode we'll try, To save your lives, and keep your ruffes dry. From fire and water, your escape is certain; Your shield of safety is our IRON CURTAIN!
(The Iron Curtain is here let down)
[Here Mr. HODKINSON retires as if finishing the Address, then returns hastily, and speaks in great agitation:]
Ladies and Gentlemen! my duty claims, To tell you that our Stage is all in flames!
The fire, tho' strange to you the fight might be, First caught Mount Blanc, and then burn up the sea;
The actors, like Octavian from the cave, Run from the Green room, not to help, but save;
While extant elements in the others' way, Like feet unmetall'd in a rainy day!
But let no bells in town's hysterics fall, Our IRON CURTAIN will protect you all!
(Curtain rises.)
In elder time, when first the Stage was read, 'Twas ours'd by patriots, and by traitors fear'd;
Its glowing scenes the fire of States supplied, For PARR'S and PARR'S wkd Ambition's pride;
And till the Drama, with corrected zeal, Exhale an engine of the public weal.
Smear'd with Sedition, should the hand profane Of plotting knaves, our nation's Chief arraign,
The indignant Stage would glory in the task, From lurking demagogues to strip the mask;
Drag the dark traitor into public flame, And nail him to the pillar of fame!
In such a cause, the powers of verse would rise, Till fear'd and headless, RATION'S hydra dies;
And the stern Eagle would suspend his wing, To listen while the Federal Muses sing.
No scite of crime can long protect a race, Whose souls are recks of their realm's disgrace.
Bid stormy ocean roll, and mountains rise, FACCIDON with roreth, and pollute your skies;
Her curs'd minions speed its fatal way, The gate impregnable, and attain the day;
Her subterfuge with equal vigor strikes, In GALLIA's North, or in Holland's dykes.
On coldish shores, her rank luxuriance grows, As HÆLA flames mid Taurus's endless snows.
Where Laws are fashion'd by the public will, The loins of fates demands a master's will.
The social compact is a bond so weak, The feuds of party can the cement break;
When crack'd, like RUPERT's drop it mocks control, Snap but the point, and you destroy the whole.
In such mid climes, if true to freedom's cause, The people's virtue will support the laws;
And Spirit-Pirrit cruft, with arm clast, The fiend, who dares "to clog the wheels of state."
In France, whose motley breed extremes delight, Who grin like monkeys, or like tigers fight, Adam's meek priest, whose conscience knows no qualm,
Except the cravings of an itching palm, Who, when a misf, and a prelate read His flock defended, when their fleece was shear'd—
The ancient patriots from their niches jolts, And calls French patriots, Liberty's apostles!
This tho' the Bishop spoke it, is no brag, For he's the Judas, and still bears the bag!
But thanks to heaven, who propp'd our wavering flag, and sav'd its glory from Venetian fate, fate, This flimsy knave in vain has wound his maze,
In vain his bishopp's eye has fix'd its gaze; In vain the holy pish his vils has spread, And smooth'd Debauch's lap for Sampson's head!
Led to the altar, by his wiles ensnar'd, Columbia stood, for sacrifice prepar'd; High flam'd the pyre; her struggling arms were bound;
The fleel was lifted for the fatal wound; When, like the Angel, who by God's command, The filial off'ring sav'd from Abraham's hand, Our guardian ADAMS, rob'd in light divine, Burth thro' the clouds which veil'd the impious shrine;
The dagger's point, the felon cords re'cav'd, and founc'd the victim from the apothecate Priest!
France flood agallt:—the pallid wonder ran; The King's trembled in their dark divan!
Compell'd new schemes of vengeance to devise, They chang'd the Lyon's for the Phœnix cries.
No more their menace's wrath shall our ears,— In sooth they seem'd "like Nixie, all tears!"
As some old Bawd, who all her life hath been A fungus, sprouting from the filth of sin; Whole dry trunk feasts on the fruit of vice, Like Radish, sav'd from rotting, by the ice;
When threatening hailst, first her conscience awes, Not with the fear of shame, but fear of law;
Setout at sixty, in contrition's search,
Rais garlic on her eyes, and goes to church! Thus Europe's Courtisan, well vers'd in wiles, Who kisses poison, while the harlot smiles, With pious sorrow hears our canon roar, And swears devoutly, that she'll sin no more!
Our halid nation long will bless the day, Which rais'd their ADAMS' cloth'd in civic way;
Which saw again our Eagle's pinions reard, His claws courted, and his arrens tear'd.
Long shall the fame of our illustrious Sage, The peerless statesman of a peerless age, With quencheless splendor beam thro' many a clime,
And light the darkling avenues of time. His deeds, on glory's marble page engrav'd, Shall live—e'er with the realm he sav'd;
And when, in heaven belov'd, as honor'd here, He shines the regent of some brighter sphere, Nations shall mark the epoch of his birth, With felicitous gratitude, and sainted mirth;
And ages, yet unborn, with grateful breath, Shall rise, and call the shade of ADAMS blest!
* The New Federal Theatre is not only more elegant and commodious than the former one; but it will also contain nearly double the number of people.
† The Aqueduct in the Theatre, by means of a leather hose, will throw water to any part of the house.
‡ The Iron Curtain, which is of sufficient thickness to prevent the communication of fire, from the stage to the audience, is in two pieces, which are supposed to weigh 3,500 cwt.
|| An allusion to the Eagle in the Dome of the Theatre, which is painted in the attitude above described.
Communications.
AT a moment when the spirit of party is lulled, rather than extinguished, it may not be amiss to awaken the minds of Americans, to a sense of the advantages they enjoy, and if possible to rouse from their lethargy those little souls who are indifferent to all acquisitions except personal ease, and in whose heart the amor patriæ was never known to beat.
Whence this torpor? Does your government stand upon a rock? Is there no danger from without and are you assured of having no enemies within? At the sound of Columbia has your pulse ceased to thrill?
Has time blotted out the wrongs for which you fought and bled? Are you insensible to the advantages you possess, "by the solid basis of liberty, the liberty of mind?"
Are the recent instances of plunder, rapine and murder, obliterated or extenuated? Believe me my countrymen, the evil spirit that lately hovered o'er you, "is not dead but sleepeth," and has only become lethargic from your energy. Still the voice of faction! persevere, in the glorious call your country has lately made! and when your WASHINGTON is within your gates, shew him by your virtue, you can hope for the favor of Heaven, by your zeal his applause, and by your conduct the good wishes of the world.
MORE
About the XVIII. Century.
MR. FENNO,
In this general scarcity of news, please to indulge an old correspondent with a small portion, in one of the columns of your very useful paper, for another scrap concerning the eighteenth century. All the pieces you have hitherto published on the subject have been written to defend one side of the question, except the quotations from Porcupine's gazette; and unless some other reply appear, I am afraid the important subject will be dropped.
WHEN we travel through time or space, and compute our progress, we generally speak, or write, on what is past. Thus, when we journey on a road, and come to a mile-stone, whether of 1 or of 100, we say so much is past: the stone is not placed at the beginning of the mile, but at the end of it.
It is necessary to settle this idea clearly. When I take out my watch, and looking on the dial, behold the hand pointing to 1, in a second of time more, I say that one hour is past, and it is going for 2. In the same manner, when I say that my son is one year, or nine years old, I mean that his first or his ninth year is past, and that he has entered into his second or tenth year. So, if I meet with an old man, bending under the weight of time and infirmity, and he informs me, when I ask him his age, that he is 99, I reckon not only that he has lived so many years, but that he has entered into his 100th year; that he has passed through one century, and entered into a second.
Bringing this manner of reckoning to the question before you, and you will not be puzzled to comprehend the reason why the seventeenth century was past, and gone with the years before the flood, as soon as our fathers began to date 1700—or why, as soon as we shall begin to date January the 1st, 1800, the eighteenth century will expire, and the nineteenth will immediately issue from the womb of time. Unless we adopt this mode of reckoning, we shall inevitably make every century rob the succeeding century of one year; and in counting centuries, we shall contradict our universal rule in denominating our own ages. There is not much weight in the objection of your correspondent's A. B. where he says that, "If the eighteenth century end with the 31st of December 1799, the nineteenth century will of course begin with the 1st of January 1800; and that should this be the case, the first century must have commenced with the 1st of January in the year 0."—What would that be strange in

THE FOOLISH LOGAN.
Actually unfolded is Bulwer to the Secretary of State, at Trenton. It is needless to say that he returned with a flea in his ear. Without exempting Logan in any measure from criminality in this nefarious business, we can assert on good grounds, that the whole matter is a delusive humbug.
The various reports of the arrest of Logan, the pretended Peace-maker, we have every reason to believe, are without foundation, that daring usurper having by his activity evaded the pursuit of justice.
A nest of cut-throats, who instead of reaping the fruits of their villainy, in the spoils of the American commerce, find themselves more properly disposed of, in a prison at Delawarre, complain, forsooth, of the hardships of imprisonment.

Modern Philosophy and Barbarism.
Is a work which contains thoughts sufficiently valuable to divert the eye of criticism from some inaccuracies of composition. Its arguments are ingenious, and its sources learned;
And he shows, that could it be carried into effect, it would be productive of more enlarged injury and extensive evil, than the rules of Lycurgus, by deteriorating the mind of man, by destroying the fabric of civilized society, and by hurrying mankind back to that state of ignorance and barbarism, from which they first set out.
He ably overthrows the principle of equality by an argument of the necessity of subordination; and to which we may add the natural principles of moral and physical inequality.
As to the argument of universal benevolence, it is a principle so vast, a circle so immense, that the mind is lost in it. The influence of all immediate duties ceases, the mind becomes quiescent, and the man deteriorates.
Whoever peruses Mr. Proby's book will perceive that the modern system of philosophy is a compound of duplicity. It pretends to encircle the powers of man, and narrows them to selfishness.

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A.
