AN EXAMINATION
Of the allegations, made against John Breckinridge, by the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette, Cretomb, and others.
No. III.
AS I progress in the examination, I become more and more convinced that the adversaries of Mr. Breckinridge, have prior to this affair, entertained some prejudices against him; otherwise, I think that they would not, upon such slight and insufficient testimony, have expressed themselves so positively, so violently, and so inconsistently upon the subject. The editor honestly avows his former opinions of Mr. Breckinridge; acknowledges his superior talents, and thinks the scheme bears marks of no ordinary contriver. Cretomb denies him the possession of talents, compares him to "county court hacks," and will have him engaged in the intrigue because it is a pitiful and a weak one; whilst Paulding contends that he is a link in a chain of intrigue which extends—God knows where.
The editor, particularly in his zeal to collect and publish, has collected and published too much for the good of his own cause. He thinks that a man like Breckinridge not engaged in an intrigue, would have noticed Mr. Bradford's letter, and have suppressed the "True Republican;" or upon discovering that the piece could not be suppressed, he would have published his disclaimer along with it; and that such would have been the conduct of an innocent man. So in substance has he expressed himself. Yet had this been Mr. Breckinridge's conduct, the proofs which the editor has published would have gone quite as far in establishing guilt, as they do now his conduct has been different; and the editor, for the reasons he assigns, must equally have pronounced him guilty. For the conversation which he had with Stevenson, "gave him suspicions of the intrigue," he "had long viewed Mr. Breckinridge as ambitious and in that belief was not singular." So that had Breckinridge have noticed his father's letter the moment it was received, the editor's conversation with Stevenson, his view, belief, and suspicion, upon which his immense fabric has been erected, would have proved the guilt, as much at least as it has done now since that the letter was not answered.
But the editor asks why would Stevenson take any steps unless he was authorized to do so? Has the Editor never known one friend to start another at an election, without the privity and consent of the person started? Similar instances I believe, may be brought within his recollection; and the common experience of the people will inform them that it is often done. But there may be many reasons why capt. Stevenson and his father would say nothing to Mr. Breckinridge upon the subject. They had full knowledge of the proceedings of the caucus; of Mr. Breckinridge's assent to those proceedings, and consequently of his engagements with the republican party. They would therefore conclude that Mr. B. could not himself act. But if Breckinridge, whose rise in the world would probably benefit his friends, could not himself act, what should prevent them. Could they surprise him into the office, what glory and what benefits would redound to them who originated the measure? Such probably were their reflections. They possessed sufficient ingenuity to devise the plan, without the judgment to inform them whether it was practicable. They could not foresee whether it would elevate or injure Mr. Breckinridge; and in any event they might consider it as proving to him how much they had his prosperity at heart. No wonder therefore that they should go to work with all that ardor for which they are remarkable, retain letters which might be prejudicial to their schemes, and that the several conversations which capt. Stevenson had with messrs. Bradford and Magruder, should not stop them in their career. Let it be recollected, that men of narrow minds (as they are said to be) are generally illiberal and suspicious, and do but seldom account for any opposition of one man to another at elections, upon any other principle than personal enmity or dislike. Now all the characters with whom the captain conversed, had been to his knowledge in opposition, upon a recent occasion, to a party which supported the election of Mr. Breckinridge; and Stevenson, therefore, had not liberality enough to ascribe the advice they were giving him, to any friendship for Breckinridge, but to the contrary. And upon this view of the subject it is not strange that the advice received by Stevenson was not taken.
The editor then enquires, why Stevenson considered himself as authorized to declare that Mr. B. would not be a candidate, if the constitution was not amended?
Perhaps the editor misunderstood Stevenson's communication; more especially as Stevenson says the statement of the editor is incorrect; and the explanation which he gives, appears at least to be reasonable. But be this as it may, the dispute as to what S. did say, lies between the editor and Stevenson, and not between Stevenson and Mr. Breckinridge. However that the editor was mistaken, appears more than probable,
from the manner in which capt. Stevenson says the conversation of Mr. Breckinridge did take place. Stevenson says that Mr. B. never did authorize him to say he was a candidate; "on the other hand" he continues, Mr. B. observed, "that had he been selected as the person to be run as V. P. and the amendment to the constitution had been rejected, he would have withdrawn his name, as the feds. by voting for the republican V. P. might, and would have defeated the election of Mr. Jefferson." Here Stevenson states that Mr. Breckinridge spoke hypothetically , or upon supposition , and was expressing his fears (as many other republicans have done) that by endeavoring to elect a republican vice-president, Mr. Jefferson's election might have been defeated. This conversation it seems was communicated by Stevenson to the Editor; who taking for fact what was uttered upon supposition , relates to the public his own impressions without recollecting the precise conversation which did take place. It will not be forgotten that the editor's memory, like that of all other mortals, is subject to forgetfulness and mistake.
The Editor further pursues his examination of Stevenson's communication to him; intimates that Stevenson knowing that he did communicate that Mr. B. would decline unless the constitution was amended, has introduced those expressions in his certificate, merely "to induce a belief that he had been misunderstood;" and by his remarks would have us believe that this is probable from what is stated to have been Mr. Breckinridge's contrary conversations with Mr. Flournoy. Let us examine the Editor's remarks and insinuations, and the testimony by which they are supported.
Ever since the contest in the house of representatives during the last presidential election, the publick mind has become more and more convinced, that an amendment to the constitution was necessary to prevent the recurrence of a similar event in future. This conviction originated the amendment; carried it through congress; and in spite of the opposition of faction, has finally obtained the passage of it by the constitutional number of states. It will be recollected that the republican party introduced this subject in congress two or three sessions ago; designating that the amendment should operate upon the next as well as upon all subsequent elections; and that it was only at the last hour that the amendment was carried. Some indeed thought that the operation of the amendment upon the next election might not be necessary to the election of both a republican president and vice-president; but this opinion was not very general; and I have been informed, that at the Federal City during the last session of congress, no person of any information, even pretended to say, how and in what manner the republicans could safely run a man for vice-president unless the constitution was amended. The republican caucus could not divine who would be electors. The voters, as well as electors, would be dispersed over a large extent of territory; the success of some candidates at elections would be doubtful, some would be obstinate; some would consider themselves as pledged to support both the presidential candidates; and a perfect understanding between the electors could not have been effected. So that it would have been impossible to ascertain what and how many votes ought to be thrown away; or who would consent to throw one of his votes away. And if too many were given to Clinton, the feds. could make him president, to the entire exclusion of Jefferson.
Such a view of the subject has been taken by most of the well informed republicans with whom I have conversed; but who, at the same time, have appeared willing to act in a publick manner in such way as the caucus should direct: deeming it better to risk a stratagem of the federalists, than to seem to want union and promptitude in their conduct toward each other. Mr. Breckinridge when speaking of the necessity of amending the constitution, and the dangers we would have to apprehend if the constitution was not amended, may have conversed in this manner in the presence of Stevenson; but as his conversation, like that of thousands of the best republicans in the country, must have been hypothetical , it cannot therefore be considered as in opposition to those which he held with Mr. Flournoy.
But the conversations which he had with messrs. Flournoy, Carr, Harrison, Vawter and Gains, appear not to have been merely hypothetical; but founded upon an actual review of circumstances, and a well founded judgment, that before the election the constitution would be amended; and all the apprehended dangers would be done away; and the congress appears to have adopted that opinion; for a law was passed providing the manner in which the electors should vote if the amendment was adopted, and they had not official notice of it. To Mr. Flournoy too, Mr. Breckinridge may have spoken as a public character, considering that his engagements with the republican party were such, as that he was in honour bound to advocate measures, which as a private individual, appeared to him imprudent unless the constitution was amended.
The editor would also have us believe something from what he states have been a declaration made by Mr. Breckinridge to one of the candidates for an "electorship;" which
he says shall be proved, if Mr. B. denies it. The declaration he states to be this: that it was immaterial who was vice-president, provided the election of Mr. Jefferson was secured. We are not informed how, and in what manner the conversation took place, what were the circumstances attending it, and who the candidate was; nor is any thing related by which we can form a just opinion as to the effect the declaration was intended to produce. Mr. Breckinridge may have said that the election of president was most important to be attended to; and that so long as Mr. Jefferson was at the head of affairs, the office of vice-president was (as it really is) of little consequence: or the conversation may, in many other ways, have been perfectly innocent and harmless. And at any rate it is impossible for us to judge of its tendency, unless particulars are related. We may take a text even in the Holy Scriptures, and garble it in such a manner as to make it appear perfectly ridiculous and absurd; and so may any man with a conversation. Nor can Mr. Breckinridge, perhaps say, at this time, whether he ever made such a declaration or not. He has, perhaps, conversed with hundreds upon the subject, and it may be impossible for him to recollect, and say when and where these conversations did take place. If the editor will name the candidate, he may recollect the conversation; and shew, that although the declaration was made, it was perfectly innocent when taken with the other observations which were made. And until the editor does this, he cannot have the least right to lay a word upon the subject.
We have thus seen that Mr. Breckinridge could not have been advantaged by any expression of public opinion in his favour; and that if he had participated in the affair, disgrace, and a total loss of the standing which he had acquired in society, would have been the consequence. That he did act before the True Republican had founded the public opinion; and as soon as he had information of the tendency of the True Republican: that the interests of the republican party did not require him to act at all: that so far from participating in the actions of Stevenson, his words and actions were calculated to counteract the effects of them: that his conduct even accorded with the advice of Mr. Bradford; and that there is not the slightest proof that Stevenson acted with his consent or knowledge.
A few observations more, and I shall be done with the topics which I have above enumerated.
Busy friends can sometimes do a man more injury than his most artful enemies:
It has been Mr. Breckinridge's misfortune to have had mistaken ill-informed and busy friends; and whose conduct upon this occasion, have perhaps originated those famous charges. People generally suppose that what one friend does for another, has his sanction and consent—perhaps justly, for it is supposed friends are communicative, and will not often act without mutual consultation. But assuredly this is not always the case; nor will the rule in every instance hold good.
One friend will often attempt to benefit another, without consulting him; and of this people must be sensible from common experience. In cases of elections, nothing is more common: for men are often reported and even published as candidates for offices, without their consent; and sometimes even withdraw their name after it is given to the publick. Why may not this have been the case in the present instance? Surely it is as probable as in a thousand other cases; more particularly as we have the testimony of the man himself and of the immediate actors in the affair. And are we to reject all evidence of this kind in the present case, when even common experience will satisfy us of the frequency of the case? and when the castle of the editor is to be built upon suspicion? To shew how easily castles may be erected, seemingly of importance, I will state a suspicion arising out of the present affair, which would seem fortified by circumstances much stronger than the charges brought against Mr. Breckinridge.
The suspicion, however, I must first declare I do not think justified by circumstances; yet will sufficiently shew how they may be formed. It arises out of the manner in which the allegations have been supported by our Editor and Cretomb. Cretomb would have it that the scheme fitted Mr. B. because it was a weak one. Whilst the editor would have it that he was a man of talents; and that
the plan bore marks of no ordinary contriver. Cretomb appeared first, and not content with declaring Mr. B. a weak man, he gave him much vanity, denied him judgment, & declared that he had never rendered the republican party any services. The publick, not so much in a passion as himself, laid the allegations were false, that Mr. B. had talents; and if Cretomb was incorrect here, might he not be so in his principal charges? This I could say, we editor discovered , and determined to make the evidence fit Breckinridge, he plans a table of states—would shew the scheme is a great one; acknowledges Mr. Breckinridge to be a man of talents, and will have it that the intrigue shews that he, and not Stevenson was the contriver of it. So that if the contrivance is ingenious, it fits; if weak and contemptible it equally does so.
EXAMINER.
The "Examiner" has in this, as in some other instances, discarded that fairness of reasoning with which he professedly set out in his first number. I shall therefore observe, that his object in calling for the name of the gentleman, cannot be justified upon any principle, after the private conversations which have taken place between him and myself. If he is anxious that the names of all the parties in this contest should be known, let him first give his own name, and he will, I doubt, be gratified. He knows who the candidate for elector is,—he is as well or better acquainted with him than I am—he has conversed with him on the subject—knows what the conversation between him and Mr. Breckinridge was, and when and where it took place. Although the publick may be unable to discover the real motives of the "Examiner" for requiring the name of the candidate, I am at no loss to determine it, and shall inform them at a proper time—Editor.
SCARCELY had the public mind recovered from the disgust which was excited by a late contest, in which the vocabulary of personal abuse had been well culled of its most appropriate terms, when, in a paper called the Independent Gazetteer for August 31, under the specious signature of "A Friend to Truth," the most unwarrantable and malicious attack is made upon the religious character of Aristarchus the author of some strictures on "The New American English Grammar." This pretended "friend to truth" certainly had a right to animadvert upon the strictures lately published by Mr. A. but was he not bound, as a gentleman and a scholar, to pay some regard to truth, and controvert (if he could) the facts and arguments brought forward by Mr. A.? Had he any right to seek to injure the personal character of Mr. A. by attempting to present him in an irreligious "point of light"?
Had he any right, in a professed reply to the Grammatical criticisms of Mr. A., to introduce the subject of religion? What, in the name of common sense, has Grammar to do with Religion? Has Mr. A. said a word against religion, or against either the religious or moral character of Mr. L.?
His remarks are before the public—they will judge with impartiality; and Aristarchus will willingly acquiesce in their decision. 'Tis true he has laughed at some ridiculous absurdities and even obscenities in Mr. L.'s Grammar, which even the austere Mr. B. himself with all his clerical gravity could scarce avoid smiling at. Mr. B. acknowledges that "some of Mr. A.'s criticisms appear to him to be just, and others notoriously incorrect, as could easily be shewn;" (which, however, he takes care not to shew) but do these errors, he asks, materially affect the body of the work? Would it not materially affect Mr. B.'s body to have his head, or even his extremities cut off?
To every unprejudiced person, this virulent attack upon the religious character of Mr. A. must appear to be the emanation of redundant spleen, and personal pique. Mr. L. and his pediteque Mr. C. sensible that Mr. A.'s remarks were unexceptionable, humbly solicit their Great Champion Mr. B. to espouse their cause. This mighty auxiliary who also felt himself implicated in the Remarks, conscious of his inability to controvert the truth and propriety of these remarks, found himself reduced to the necessity, either of ingloriously yielding the palm to A. or having recourse to that ungenerous subterfuge, the ultimate asylum of dull divines, of awakening popular prejudices against the Author.
An Enemy to Falsehood.
"Answer a fool according to his folly." Queries for Mr. Cb—
Did you not of your own accord, offer and agree to pay 300 dollars for the Copy-right of the Kentucky Grammar? Did you not after said agreement like an unprincipled *** fall from your own terms? Was not the circumstance of Mr. L.'s coming in the interim and undertaking to make you a Grammar for 50 dollars, the true cause of your failing to comply with your first agreement?
Does not your own conscience callous as it is, silently assent to this?
Would you not "fill" a conspicuous character in the Comedy of the Double Dealer?
Does not the experience of every man, who has had any thing to do with you, evince, that so far from being a Gentle-
man, you are definite of even the least tincture of truth or honour?
The editor of the Independent Gazetteer is requested to insert the above in his next paper.
NATCHEZ, August 10, 1804.
Extract of a Letter, dated August 7.
Returning this morning from the vicinity of Little Bayou-Sara, I met not far from the line, 21 armed men;—on passing a house within my view, they sounded a French horn, and unfurled a flag composed of four white and three blue stripes, a yellow field and two red stars: they were mounted, armed with rifles and pistols and wore a deep blue and yellow cockade. Among the party, I recognized some of the planters of Feliciana, and one man whom I knew, on passing me, declared he would be in possession of Baton Rouge Fort in 24 hours: I have since learned, that their plan is to take the different Alcaldes or Commandants as they go along; so that we may naturally suppose our neighbour O'Connor is in strings ere this. As I get more of the particulars you shall have them.
While writing, a party of men and women have pulled in ribbands and plummage—Amongst them are J. S. . . . . and Mrs A. . . . .
"The K—— and their party amounting as I am informed to nearly three hundred men, set out on yesterday to take Baton Rouge. It is supposed they will effect it, and perhaps seize the whole country as far as the Mobile river; I have learned that there were a number of American citizens of the party which I regret. Those insurgents have hoisted the American flag. I believe if there had been United States troops stationed at Fort Adams, the citizens here, nor any other in this neighbourhood would have been suffered to collect in opposition to our government nor to invade the rights of a peaceable neighbouring nation."
EIGHT PENCE REWARD
WILL be given to any person who will apprehend and deliver at my shop, in Lexington, EDWARD SMITH and WILLIAM SMITH, who are brothers, and sons of Jesse Smith, living near col. Bowman's, South Elkhorn, said Edward and William are apprentices to the boot and shoe making business, and left me on Saturday last, and took with them the whole of their wearing apparel.

William is 16 or 17 years old, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, well made, hair rather darker, and more open countenance than his brother. Four pence reward will be given for either, or the above reward for both.
All persons are hereby forewarned from harboring, entertaining, or concealing either or both of the above mentioned apprentices, as I am determined to prosecute to the utmost rigour of the law, the person or persons who shall so offend.

Patent Apple Peeling and Cutting MACHINES.
For sale in Lexington, by ANDW. M'CALLA.
P. S. The above Machines were invented by Moses Coats, of Chester county Pennsylvania, for which he obtained a patent; it is unnecessary to say any thing further in favor of the invention, than that it is simple, easy to be kept in order, and in general use; and that by it any person may pare 20 apples in a minute with ease. The legislature of Pennsylvania at their last session purchased the patent right for that state, at 5000 dolls.—Price of the patent for one machine, is one dollar.

DIED on Thursday last, of the Cholick, after a few hours illness, Elizabeth Story, daughter and only child of Mr. William Story of Georgetown. On the following day her remains were brought to this place, and deposited in the town burial ground, attended by a respectable number of mourners, whose countenances declared them partakers of the sorrows of the afflicted parents.
To Correspondents. Aristarchus, No. 2, together with an address to Fielding L. Turner, by Decius, are postponed for want of room. Aristides, No. 17, is received.
Yesterday's mail was uncommonly barren of news.—The only article of any importance was a rumour of peace in Europe; and this scarcely deserves notice, from the vague manner in which it is mentioned.
EXCEPT physicians, printers of newspapers have, perhaps, more frequent calls on their humanity, than any other class of citizens.—Scarcely a week passes, without the publishers of the different papers being requested to insert some advertisement, relating to one unfortunate being or other. Since the time of Dr. Franklin at least, Time and Labour, have been considered as money. Therefore, the amount which a printer would have charged for such publications, in any other situation, may be considered as a charitable donation. This donation is uniformly made with pleasure, particularly as the printer never directly feels it, and as it may be serviceable to a fellow-creature.—Of late days, almost every author, however ignorant, who chooses to publish his abilities in a newspaper, conceives it not complete, until the other printers are desired to publish his trash. This conduct has been pursued throughout the examination relative to Mr. Breckinridge. But the most flagitious attempt to impose this unjustifiable tax on news printers, is to be met with in the Gazetteer of Friday last; where some fellow under the signature of "C," has asked six questions, no more interesting to the public in general, than "the meanest efforts of busy conceit," and has requested the editor of the Kentucky Gazette to insert them in his next paper. Whenever any article of publick utility shall appear in any paper, it shall be republished in the Kentucky Gazette, without a request from the author; but the Editor must reserve to himself, the sole government of his paper.—Nevertheless, a request from one or more respectable characters will always have its due weight.
Note. "C" can have his queries inserted by depositing 75 cents in the office of the Kentucky Gazette, and not otherwise.
[The following was received from the hon. John Coburn in the month of July, but was accidentally mislaid, and not again found until Saturday last.] To the Citizens of Kentucky.
IT was my lot to serve you in 1706 as an Elector, to choose a President and Vice-President of the United States.—In the year 1800, the same duty recurred, and I was honored with your suffrages, for the same important purpose. The votes of Kentucky, and the result of those different elections, are too well known to require recapitulation.—At those different periods, I pursued the directions of my own judgment in the choice of a President, and thought it not improper to resign to the public with the choice of a Vice-President even without much scrutiny.—My inquiries were directed to the ostensible and leading traits in the character of the man offered as Vice-President; if he had by a series of actions obtained the confidence of men, on whom I could rely, I ventured to risk my vote in his favor. Having again declared a willingness to serve you as an Elector, it may not be improper to avow, in the most explicit manner, the principles by which I shall be regulated.
Having the highest confidence in the ability and political integrity of the present president of the U. S. I shall vote for him to fill that office again—I am informed by the public prints; and from conversation with individuals, have reason to believe that Mr. Clinton of New-York, has been selected by the most enlightened republicans in the U. S. as a person proper to fill the office of Vice-President; I shall, therefore, prefer him on that ground.
I discover that some gentlemen, who are announced as candidates for the election, have thought proper to declare their determination to vote for Mr. John Breckinridge as
Vice-President; I have thought it a duty to be equally explicit. We are of different opinions, let the public voice determine between us. I declare that I will not vote for Mr. Breckinridge, unless he shall produce evidence, equally entitled to my confidence, with that exhibited in favor of Mr. Clinton. I am induced to this declaration by several considerations.—It is to be presumed that in the general consultation that took place at the City of Washington, on the subject of the approaching election of President and Vice-President; the representatives and senators from Kentucky, were present. The pretensions of Mr. Breckinridge were canvassed and decided on; and it is his duty to yield to the expression of the public will, discovered on that occasion. If this gentleman is disposed to risk an opposition to Mr. Clinton, he enjoys the privilege in common with all.—If, on the contrary, he has resigned his own pretensions, he will, no doubt, have the candor to make an immediate avowal, and terminate the intrigues of others. I consider the attempt to vote for Mr. Breckinridge as calculated to divide and distract our counsels; and if patronised by him, as proceeding from selfish and impure motives, on his part. Another reason operates with me.—General Clinton, from information, is an old, experienced, tried and meritorious officer.—Mr. Breckinridge is young in service, and ought to pass with fortitude and patience, through the necessary ordeal, before he can claim a preference to the patriots of 1776. Having thus briefly declared my sentiments to you, fellow-citizens, you will determine on their propriety, and your suffrages will be applied accordingly.
JOHN COBURN. July 8, 1804.

CANZONET. FROM THE PORTUGUESE OF CAMOENS.
WHEN day has smil'd a soft farewell, And night-drops bathe each fluting bell, And shadows fall along the green, And birds are still, and winds serene, I wander silently.
And while my lone steps print the dew, Dear are the dreams that bless my view— To memory's eye the maid appears, For whom has sprung my sweetest tears; So oft, so tenderly.
I see her, as, with graceful ease, She binds her braids of sunny hair; I feel her harp's melodious thrill, Strike to my heart—and thence be still Re-echo'd faithfully.
I meet her mild and quiet eye, Drink the warm spirit of her sigh; See young love beating in her breast, And with its pulses, pale, and faint, God knows how fervently.
Such are my pow'rs of dear delight; And morn but makes me long for night, And think how swift the minutes flew, When last, amongst the dropping dew, I wander'd silently.
