FROM THE EVENING POST.
Mr. EDITOR, ONE would scarcely believe it possible, that the democrats in any part of the United States, would have been either sufficiently mean or impudent to assume to themselves the name of Washington and Jeffersonian republicans ; and although they were the constant revilers of his administration and opposers of his measures; although they have uniformly been, and continue to be, actuated, and the supporters of a political system directly contrary to that which he supported and recommended; yet by associating two names as different as light is from darkness, attempt to give themselves consequence with the indiscriminating multitude, and delude them into a supposition, that they had harmonized in politics with Washington while living, and had, since his death, been the guardians, and protectors of his fame.
You, Sir, if I recollect right, with a view of counteracting this shameful, this impudent attempt at deception, have introduced the celebrated letter, with the signature of Jasper Dwight, the present editor of the Aurora, addressed by him to General Washington; and in one of your late papers have commented upon its contents. A letter in which we see a worthless foreigner, "a fugitive from distress," or in other words, from justice, just entered into an asylum, where protection was afforded to him, foiling the purity of the paper with the most liberal and unbounded abuse of that Washington, whose measures he and his fellow democrats wish to be thought ever to have approved; and from whose name they now strive to acquire consequence and confidence.
To enable you the more successfully to undeceive the public mind, and to guard it from so gross an imposition; to assist you in stripping those unprincipled harpers of their plumage, under which they now with to disguise themselves; and to shew them to be the obscene * birds of prey, which they really are, I send you a publication, in which that same Washington, the beloved saviour of the United States, was represented to have been a vile murderer; a base assassin! And I send it to you the more willingly, because I have discovered that it is not universally known, even among the federalists, in what paper it was originally printed; and that the mistake of some one, who thought the charge was contained in the letter with the signature of Jasper Dwight not long since, afforded Mister Dunn no small triumph.
This publication made its first appearance in the Aurora of the 13th of March, 1797; a few days after, that same paper had, in the prophane parody of the sacred song of Simeon, congratulated our citizens that the name of Washington, had no longer "the power to multiply evils in the United States, and that his name would from that time, cease to give currency to political iniquity, and to legalize corruption," and appears to have been a regular part of those systematized insults, which jealousy, envy and hatred had prepared for that great and good man, and which they were determined he should endure.
It has been repeatedly, and that in the most public manner, attributed to the present Editor of the Aurora, and as I have never understood that he has at any time even affected to deny it, we have a right, agreeably to his own principles, to believe him the author. And as this (I was about calling him a man, but he disgraces human nature,) as this wretch this fugitive from justice now boasts of the confidential intimacy and friendship of Jefferson, and is said actually to enjoy the one and the other; and as it is certain that he as well as Callender, was formerly in Jefferson's pay, and that he, under the present administration is liberally provided for, while poor Callender, neglected and despised, is left to starve, it is reasonable to believe, that it was the remembrance of the superior services of Dunn, in writing and publishing that letter to General Washington, and this infamous attack on the General's character which turned the scale in his favor, and has rendered him the minion of Presidential favour and remuneration. Doth the public want a proof—let it be remembered, that the letter with the signature to Jasper Dwight, was addressed to General Washington, in consequence of his farewell legacy to the people of America,
* "Obscenas volucras," VIRGIL.
a legacy most precious, which ought to be most highly valued, and which some of our State Governments, to its eternal honor my own, have placed on their records.
Nothing could have been ushered into the view and consideration of the citizens of the United States, more in contrariety to the sentiments of Jefferson, nor more opposed to his ambitious views, than that address—Is this doubted? Let us examine its contents. He lays it "that the free Constitution which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained, will be one of my unceasing wishes to Heaven"—How far Jefferson wishes this constitution to be sacredly maintained—let old Pendleton's reveries; his son-in-law's address to the electors of Giles's district; and the destruction of the judiciary, one of the co-ordinate branches of the Government, prove; together with his extreme anxiety that even the Executive Department should be taken under the guidance and tutelage of the legislature.
"The Unity of our Government ," on fair, honorable, and equally beneficial principles, was by Washington also recommended as the main pillar in the edifice of our real independence," &c. The present system is undoubtedly calculated to destroy that "main pillar," the unity of our Government, unless our Government will permit the Virginians, combined with their negroes, and wretched fugitives from justice, more contemptible even than these negroes, to govern the Union!
In that address General Washington declared, that "all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of the fundamental principles, and of fatal tendency." With what kind of sensations must Jefferson, have read this part of the address; when it was upon such combinations and associations, organized by himself & Genet, that he entirely depended for destroying the confidence of the silly sheep in their watchful days, and for their delivering themselves over to wolves, by them to be made their prey.
General Washington further, in the words of wisdom , cautions us against "a spirit of innovation upon the principles of our Government, however specious the pretext." "One method of assault," he tells us, "may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations, which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine, what cannot be directly overthrown." How pleasing must these sentiments have been to the men of innovation , to the philosophical speculator , to the man, who considers it impossible, that mankind shall enjoy the perfectability of happiness or of reason, "till they return to the Savage state "—And who wishes to destroy every possible energy of Government except that which is to be addressed to himself? General Washington also warned his fellow citizens, "that those entrusted with the administration, ought to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the powers of one department, to encroach upon another," he further tells us an awful truth, that the spirit of government tends to consolidate the powers of all departments into one, & thus to create, whatever the form of Government, a real despotism .
And we have lived to see, under the present administration, the Judiciary department, which would not bend to its despotic views, already prostrated, and a consolidation attempted, and, as it is believed, at present effected, of the Executive and Legislative Departments, a consolidation, which Jefferson himself in his notes on Virginia, has declared to be the most absolute despotism, not the less so, because addressed by a hundred, and not by one, nor the less so, because the despots are elected.
General Washington hath further, in that legacy, informed us, that "Religion and morality are indispensable supports of the disposition and habits, which lead to political prosperity; that they are the great pillars of human happiness, the firmest props of the duties of men & citizens." What a portion of gall and wormwood had the frenchified Philosopher, the dear friend, the eulogist, the inviter to this country, of the beastly, the besotted, the profligate,
+ Washington to the people of the United States, printed at Philadelphia, by B. Maxwell, page 7, 9, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 29.
gate, the disorganizing, the blaspheming Tom Paine, here to gulp down!
General Washington further, in the most friendly and most energetic manner, bade us to "beware of the consequences, which might flow from permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others." Think you not that this advice must have endeared the person, who gave it, nay, that it must have been milk and honey, a perfect cordial, to the man, who was the inveterate enemy of Great Britain, and insatiately, passionately, attached to the French Government?
Now, my fellow-citizens, let me seriously ask you, whether you can doubt, but that the whole of that legacy, left by General Washington to his fellow-citizens, was directly in disunion with the sentiments, the views of Jefferson! Whether it did not excite his animosity towards and hatred of, the man, who had thus dealt out the precepts of friendship and of wisdom to his countrymen? Do you doubt whether he was not conscious, that, in that address, General Washington had solemnly warned his fellow-citizens to never trust Jefferson, to never place him at the head of their Government? Can you doubt that, in consequence he hated, with the utmost bitterness of hatred, the man, who had thus interposed between him and his ambitious aims; and that it was the first, the dearest wish of his heart to represent the sentiments contained in that address, as totally unjust and incorrect—flowing from the worst of motives—destructive of the happiness of society—subversive of liberty—and even formed by envy, disappointment, ambition and despotism. Can you possibly doubt that he, in consequence above all things wished to blast the character, to sink into disgrace and infamy the man, who had thus publicly, thus openly, dared to express those sentiments. To effect that object, the unprincipled, the infamous Dunn, the new editor of the Aurora, the now bosom-friend and confidential companion of Jefferson and Gallatin subsidized Dunn wrote that contemptible letter, addressed to General Washington, with the signature of Jasper Dwight. What infernal joy must the foul of Jefferson have experienced, as his greedy eyes traced the accursed lines.
But even that act, which would have put a demon to the blush, was not sufficient. No, it was necessary to hurl the man, in whom the people of America delighted, but the man who had dared thus to cross the ambitious path of French philosophism, to the lowest depth of perdition—to place him immeasurably beneath the feet of the Democratic idol, to represent him as unworthy to breathe the air, or to enjoy the light of heaven, as a wretch, who ought to be detested by God, and by man, nay even by savage man, as a murderer, an assassin—a murderer and assassin under the most aggravated circumstances! For this it is believed Dunn was capable. At the moment of that publication, it is believed, the infernals once more assembled in Pandemonium, and that in the midst of their hellish transports, they presented the freedom of their government to their worthy associates, and inscribed the name of Jefferson and Dunn upon their red hot records, as worthy fellow-citizens of their dominion.
In addition to these achievements, it is believed, that the midnight entry into the Treasury—the stolen extracts from the books—the constant, the continued falsehoods by him in consequence published to blast the fair fame of the worthiest sons of merit, have given this fugitive, this Editor of the Aurora, this Dunn, that acme of merit, which entitles him to that zenith of presidential favor, under which he now basks. That all these his acts were probably done by him at the instance of Jefferson himself, may easily be now believed. That Jefferson has availed himself of each to gratify his envy, hatred and ambition is certain. That Dunn is now rewarded for those acts cannot be doubted. And that he, who assents to any acts and rewards its perpetration, is equally guilty as if he had procured the act to be done, will not be controverted.

FROM THE BALANCE.
ON EDUCATION.
No. XVII.
INSTRUCTORS of schools are placed in a situation, that is essentially interesting to society: inasmuch that their general character has no inconsiderable influence

infixing; eventually, the character of a nation. To them is committed a treasure more valuable than the mines of Peru and Indostan. In their hands is placed the rising hope of their country. They are the guides as well as the instructors of the rising generation; and it is their business to mould the yielding clay of human nature into comely and useful vessels. Besides the indispensable prerequisite of capacity and information, adequate to their employment, it is equally necessary that their character should be moral, amiable and respectable.
The practice of employing drunkards, vagabonds and the ragged refuse of mankind, as instructors in schools, is base and detestable beyond the power of language to express. No rational husbandman would set an owl to tend his chickens, or a wolf to guard his lambs; though, it would be infinitely less absurd and cruel than it is to commit children to the guidance and tuition of vicious, worthless, contemptible characters. Children are imitative creatures. They naturally catch the dialect, the tones, the manners and habits of others, and especially of their instructors. Moronels, rage & ravenge, together with every kind of vulgarity or oddity in dialect or manners, are easily and quickly communicated from the master to the pupils: or even, if they should be disposed to imitate their preceptor, by reason that they conceive a contempt for his person, the manifold evils of insubordination would be the natural consequence; and the school would become worse than useless. To the disgrace of the parents, to the ruin of the children, and to the irreparable injury of the commonwealth, there is in many places in this country, an apparent disposition to put up, as it were, at auction , the all important business of teaching schools; and to strike it off to the lowest bidder . Parents, in such instances, manifest less regard for their children, than they do for their cattle. A fine young horse, that they would wish to break for the saddle, or for a carriage, they would in no wise commit to the management of a bungler, who would accustom him to an awkward attitude and gait, or learn him to be tricky. For the purpose of training up such a colt, they would readily be at the expence of hiring an expert horseman; yet they are led by blind avarice, to pick up a vile outcast of society, some beggarly stroller, some drunken swab, to educate their children?—and they justly reap what they sow.
An affectionate attachment to children, at the same time that it is generally a mark of a virtuous sensibility of heart, forms a necessary part of the character of a good instructor.* This amiable quality, in the teachers of schools, is a sure pledge of fidelity and of laudable exertions to promote the interests of their pupils. In every social department of life, and in this particularly, love is the most powerful incentive to duty. One who has a taste for contemplating the simple and, comparatively, innocent scenes of childhood, and the gradual expansions of the human mind; and, in the mean time, feels a lively interest for the general welfare of children cannot fail, with competent learning, to make a useful instructor. But no degrees of learning, in the master or the mistress of a school, can compensate for a callousness of heart and a moroseness of temper.
Impartiality is a primary qualification in the teachers and governors of schools. It greatly behoves them to hold an even hand towards the children committed to their charge, without any favor or prejudice, arising from the rank, circumstances or characters of their parentage. An impartial government of schools, while it produces and cherishes general good will, affords an incentive to general industry. Under the assurance that they will be noticed and rewarded according to their merits, a useful and laudable emulation will be excited among the learners. But favoritism or partiality, besides begetting jealousy and hatred, as well towards the master as among themselves, has a never failing tendency to quench the sparks of emulation and to weaken the sinews of industry. The favorite becomes remiss, from a confidence that he can win the prize without being foremost in the race; and the others finding that merit is unrewarded, grow discouraged. Wherever favoriteism is practiced in a family, in a school, or in a government, the effects are always pernicious. It brings into action all the
* This lovely trait was manifested in the character of our Saviour. When little children were brought him, he affectionately took them in to his arms and blessed them.
discordant passions of the human heart; & at the same time, paralyses every noble effort.
An intemperate or an over passionate person, or any one who does not govern himself , is unfit to govern children. Much depends upon the prudent government of schools. Order, in them, is a fundamental requisite. If order were generally maintained in families, it would be easy to maintain it in schools; and if the children throughout the nation might be accustomed to order, both under the domestic roof, & in schools, very few of them, in their riper years would become disorderly members of society. Crimes would be prevented and the public would, in a great measure be relieved from the expence of building and supporting prisons.
In every considerable school, the general laws by which it is governed, should be printed and posted up in the school room, for the information of the scholars; and it would be well to annex to each law the penalty that should be incurred by transgressing it; at the same time, the law that should be chiefly used and enforced in schools, is, " the law of kindness ." The unruly and obstinate who cannot be won by fair means, must be reduced to order by coercion; but a master's principle endeavour, in governing his school, should be to obtain the cordial respect and affectionate attachment of his scholars; which would enable him to "draw them with cords of love." He should assiduously ply the more ingenious principles and passions of human nature, and, by all possible means, should strive to awaken in them a lively ambition to excel, in learning, in decent behaviour, and in every thing that is lovely. It is of no small importance for parents to take a general and visible interest in the schools which they support, by manifesting such a degree of respect toward the teacher, as will tend to render them respectable in the view of their children; and also by visiting the schools, at stated periods, & witnessing their improvements, which operates as a powerful spur to emulation and industry.
In schools such as have been described, children, beginning to learn sufficiently early, might be decently prepared, in point of learning, for the common business of life, at the age of eleven or twelve; which is as soon as they are capable of considerably assisting their parents in active and laborious occupations. Thus no time in obtaining school-education would be lost. On the contrary, the habits of order, sobriety and industry, which had been infixing at school, would render diligence, in the daily and laborious employments of life, much less irksome to them, than it is to others who have faunted away their childhood in idleness.
When the hand of avarice shall be unclenched; when a liberal zeal to promote useful education shall pervade the nation; when decent school-houses shall be planted, as far as may be practicable, at convenient distances from each other, over the whole country, and shall be generally occupied by capable and worthy instructors:—when such a national regeneration shall happen, there will be every thing to hope and but little to fear, respecting the permanence of our privileges, and the general prosperity of the United States.

† General Scammel, an amiable man and a valuable officer, who was slain in battle during the American revolutionary war, taught a school in a town in New-England, nearly thirty years ago; and by the ingenious device of fixing, upon scholars, ribbands of different colours, denoting their progress and their merits, he raised and cherished among them an astonishing degree of emulation; and, at the same time governed them, without the aid of the scourge and the ferule.
NEW YORK, November 1.
Capt. Noble, of the brig Friends Adventure, who arrived here on Saturday in 17 days from Cape Francois, informs us that in the night of the 8th October, a party of the negroes of St. Domingo took forcible possession of Porte de Paix, and it is expected have massacred most of its inhabitants. Two boats full of people who had fled, arrived at the Cape, some of them mortally wounded. On the 10th, the Admiral lent a frigate and a sloop of war, with troops, to endeavor to retake it; with what success, Capt. Noble could not learn, as he failed on the 11th. At his departure he heard very heavy cannonading off Port-de-Paix. On the 22d, in lat. 32, 40, N. long. 72, 52, W. spoke a ship from England, bound to New Providence, with hoops, very much disabled, having carried away her main top-mast and main yard, and split all her sails to pieces.
REVOLUTION IN OTAHEITE.
Extract of a letter lately received from the Rev. Mr. Jefferson, one of the missionaries at that place.
"A chief of great authority from Haaheine, who is now on this island, has given some of us various invitations to his country, and promised to be our protector, but at this time Haaheine and other islands adjoining, are involved in war. The same spirit, which for some years has been prevailing over Europe, has made its entrance into these seas, and caused much commotion, and threatens more among the society islands, the destruction of all government and subordination. The Mannahowne, or common people, are rising up against their chiefs, and overturning all authority. The commonality of Othaeite are equally dissatisfied to their present form of government, at Haaheine Ulietea, or more properly Oryatea, and are watching a favorable opportunity of shaking off their allegiance, and levelling all distinction of chiefs among them. The Porpoise arrived from New South Wales at a very critical period; for, as we have since been informed, had her arrival been one week later, it would have been decided, whether there should have been one king, or every man a king. What state the islands to the eastward are in we cannot tell. The natives of Otaheite in general appear familiar and free from jealousy, as we have always studiously avoided interesting with their political state."
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.
The United States frigate Constellation, capt. Murray, on the 22d July last, sustained an action off Tripoli with nine gun boats, and in half an hour drove five of them ashore, and the remainder into Tripoli. No lives were lost on board the Constellation. Captain Murray was prevented from destroying the boats driven ashore, by the forts and troops of the enemy.
Arrived, brig Clarissa, Hunt, Crooked Island; Rose, Chaumon, Martinique; fchr Jolly Beahus, Thompson, Jamaica; June and Maria, Hunt, Barbadoes.

On Monday arrived ship, Rose, Hawley, from Batavia. Capt. Hawley, sailed from St. Helena on the 17th of August, in company with the brig Java, of Baltimore, and on his passage spoke the following vessels:
Sept. 25, lat. 18, 15, N. long. 59, 30, W. the fchr Sufan, of Portland, bound to Berbice, out 8 days. Oct. 6, lat. 20, 21, N. long. 55, W. the ship Diana, of Boston, capt. Smith, from the coast of Patagonia, laden with skins. 16th, lat. 29, N. long. 68, W. the fchr Thorn, Folger, from Baltimore to Barbadoes, out 20 days.
Same day arrived ship Mars, capt. Hunter, 24 days from St. Pierres, Martinique, who informs that all was quiet there, and markets dull; the French, since they have taken the command of the island, were kind enough to the Americans, as to make them pay the duties on their goods, on which they had but a few days before paid to the British. He further informs, that it was very sickly at Port-Royal, so that 10 or 15 of the French soldiers died daily.
Ship General Greene, Vernon, of this port has arrived at Martinique.

A PROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP For publishing by Subscription, LETTERS ON THE Elementary Principles OF EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton,
Author of the "Manners of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is pre-eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied these subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to. To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which these inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By each alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the subjection of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
* The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
*** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.
