THE GRAND QUESTION STATED
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT; Or implicitly declare for JEFFERSON AND NO GOD!!"
The Important Hour
Of an EVENTFUL ELECTION, is at hand. Men must now watch, and work; be thoughtful, be sober. In a few days, the Question will be seriously and strenuously made, whether the experiment of a federative republic, under religious, moral, and steadfast politicians, tracing the high road to order, dignity, glory, and independence, is still to be essayed: or whether we be willing to submit to the Gallic domination of an acknowledged Deist, and barter away our birthright for worse than a mess of pottage, for the delusive plausibilities of French Jacobin amity. It cannot be disguised; there exist two parties in America, fiercely opposed, perhaps nicely balanced. The one, studious of Quiet, coveting Honor, adhesive to Federalism, and constant to principles. The other, a male content and Jacobin faction, practitioners of popular artifice, servile to France, foes to order, greedy of dishonest gain; falsely calling themselves republicans but who are, in reality, a proud and profligate crew, anxious to live, not only without government, but, in the solemn phrase of the Apostle, "Without GOD in the world." It behoves, therefore, every prudent man, averse to Revolution, every loyal man, attached to government, every sagacious man, prescient of French dangers, and every good man, principled and pious, to come forward, on this dubious hour, and resolve to support by every honest art, and by every energetic means, the Election to the Highest Offices in our Government of
JOHN ADAMS AND CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY.
Threatened, as we are, with the terrible visitation of French revolutions, her warfare and her Atheism, the Russian Soldier, and the Apostate Priest, the name of JEFFERSON, on a federal ticket must no longer be inscribed. He that is not for us is against us. Men know his contempt of Christianity, his Parisian politics, his Visionary projects, his Timidity, his Inconsistencies. It is time that in our State Cabinet, there should be no division. This important truth, at length fully recognized, prompts the Federal and Governmental Party to agree in striving to confer the Magistracy of the Union upon
JOHN ADAMS AND CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY.
MORE AURORA FALSHOOD.
In the Aurora of Monday, September 29, the Editor of that flagitious Journal, persevering in his attack upon the Rev. Mr. Abercrombie, states, that "there are certain funds, appropriated to the Episcopal Church, a portion of which, added to his salary, would have been a very pretty speculation." Here it is malignantly insinuated that Mr. A. entered into holy orders, for purposes merely venal; and that, therefore he expected to make large draughts upon the funds of the Church. This phrase "funds of the Church" must be downright drollery in Duane, for so far as the Church here opulent in these same imaginary funds, that not even a nail can be driven into a decayed pew door, without the beggarly expedient of a subscription. The Episcopal Clergy derive their whole salaries from the annual rent of pews, a sum when distributed, notoriously deficient for the support of any decent family, and which, it is equally notorious, has been occasionally augmented by temporary expedients among parishioners, and not, by any secret treasures, or banks, or funds of the Church.
The Aurora farther states "that the Treasuryship of the Mint became again vacant under Mr. Adams, and Dr. Rush and Mr. Abercrombie were rival candidates." It is truly painful to give the gentlemanly and moral Duane the lie, but the lie must be given. At the time of this vacancy, Mr. A. was in orders. Since his entrance into the priesthood, Mr. A. has made no application, either directly or indirectly for any civil appointment. It is notorious to the friends of the parties that Dr. Rush and Mr. A. were never rival candidates for any office. The Aurora farther states, in the vile phrase of Grub-street, that Mr. A. took up the pulpit drum, beat a tattoo to politics, got Porcupine to publish the Sermon; but the speculation did not answer, the thing did not sell, the people forsook the Churches, many resigned their pews, &c. Agreeably to the President's proclamation, Mr. A. delivered a Fast Sermon on the May 9. 1798. It was necessarily a political discourse because delivered on a political occasion. Porcupine did not print the Sermon. It was printed and published by Mr. JOHN ORMROD, as may be ascertained by any one who will take the trouble of inspecting the imprint. The impression was large, consisting of one thousand copies, above eight hundred of which were sold. At the time of the delivery of the Sermon, a few infuriated Jacobins indecently went out of Church; but no pew, or seat in a pew, has been known to be then relinquished, or at any
subsequent period, in consequence of this unlovely bold and undignified manner in which Mr. A. has discharged his duty as a Christian Minister.
The Aurora farther states that "he projected an Academy for the instruction of Youth." To the opening of an academy, Mr. A. was compelled, in consequence of the absolute insufficiency of his salary from the Church to support a numerous family. This course was the only one, compatible with his professional character, and it remains for the democracy of Duane and his adherents to degrade the respectable superintendent of the morals and education of youth, or to brand the office with the title of a speculation.
The Aurora farther states that "by way of recommending himself in this pecuniary exigency, in conjunction with Dr. Andrews, the Vice Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, another high flying monarchist, and Episcopal Clergyman forbade a number of American Youth, on the 4th of July 1800, from reading the declaration of American Independence." It is understood that these Gentlemen remonstrated against the impropriety of publicly reading that instrument, at a time when we are at peace with the nation against which it was made. To the commemoration of the event not an objection was uttered, but it is surely wise to avoid, under the operation of a Treaty of Amity, every thing which has a tendency to revive ancient animosities. When the declaration itself concludes with the memorable words that "we are in peace—Friends" it is justice as well as wisdom, to object to the reading of a State paper, in its topics singularly harsh against Great Britain. It is natural, and it may be very proper to view the fourth of July, as a festive day, but it is unjust illiberal, and impolitic, often-times to indulge a sort of annual acrimony against England, with whom we are now connected by public ligaments, and by the more binding ties of national attachment, and mutual interest. It is the habit not of some, broken in fortune, and flagitious in principle, dead to honour, careless of engagements, men averse to discrimination, and greedy of plunder; and it is the habit of many a mneyed Jacobin of the country, either to view France with partial, and Britain with vengeful eyes, or to hold the senseless and profligate opinion that there is no difference in our external relations with these powers, and that they are both necessarily and eternally hostile to our glory and freedom. But this is not the habit of the steadfast and well principled Majority of Americans. They have deliberately, by the votes and on the parchments and papers of their public Functionaries, and from the judgment seat of the supreme tribunal of the nation declared we are at peace with England, we have made a Treaty of Amity and Commerce, will that power; and we are at war with the French Republic. If, in Amity with Great Britain, we adhere as becomes honest men, to the spirit of our professions nay, even to the letter, we may not, without wrong, publicly vilify that nation or "dwell with rancorous rapture" on the exaggerated catalogue of obsolete grievances. It is right and decent for Dr. Andrews, Mr. Abercrombie, or any good or prudent man to remonstrate against the foolish and ill timed display of national antipathy, malice and revenge. Brotherly kindness, mutual forbearance and charity is the motto of the wise Politicians of England and America. To flagrant Jacobins, to "money getting villains," to self stiled Patriots, as well as to Liberius, "the worst of antiquity," belongs alone, as of right and in character the language and the sentiment of the Odium in longum jiciens Quae reconderet, auctaque promeret.

Respect, fiate suicides, while Empires nod, "Nonserve their Country, who forsake their God."
MR WAYNE
The Baptist Society having frequently had political mention made of them in the late papers—permit an obscure individual of that persuasion to present you with a few observations on the same or like Topics. If there be a denomination of Christians who more rigidly than others conform in faith and practice to the verbal requirements of the holy scripture 'tis the Baptists, they have generally been thought by other sects, to be too scrupulously attached to the literal expression of the sacred text, be this as it may, their zeal in the cause of religion has never been called, in question; during the late war, their addresses to the throne of grace in behalf of their distressed country were constant, and marked with all the external evidences of patriotism piety, and true Christian spirit. But I have to lament that a very different spirit is lately manifested amongst us; the only member of this Society found on the ticket in the late election for a President, and Vice President of the United States, most shamefully betrayed his Constituents, and forsook his God, by voting for an unbeliever—not only an unbeliever but an enemy to all revealed religion "for he who is not with us, is against us."
Nor is this all—I learn with inexpressible grief that too many of such pretended professors amongst us (for charity itself will not allow them sincerity) again openly avow their attachment to the cause of the same Candidates, to the great scandal of christian professors. Where is the great trumpet sounder of a neighbouring county who on a recent occasion rode from one extreme of the State to the other, as if his zeal was set on fire, calumniating Mr. Rofs with the charge of Deism—now is there not a greater necessity, and now is he not as libel as the Tomb of the Capulets?
On such occasions as the present who that is not dead to every sense of obligation which either a love of religion or a love of country can impose, does not feel himself called upon solemnly to consider whether the God of our Fathers shall continue to be the object of our devotion, or whether we shall have "twenty Gods or no God" and whether the man who has declared himself to be indifferent, is a proper character to rule over us. Let it never be forgotten brethren and fellow citizens, that unless the righteous rule, the people cannot rejoice, consider my friends whether a just consciousness of your duty will permit you to support a man for the office of President of the United States, who is never seen at a place of worship, and who holds in utter contempt, all religious ceremonies, duties, and obligations.
A BAPTIST. Philadelphia County October 1, 1800.
For the Gazette of the United States. One of Joseph Bloomfield's Committee JOHN BROGNARD.
At a meeting of Jacobins held at Slab Town State of New Jersey, in the MAYORALTY of Jos. Bloomfield, who wants an Office under the general Government; but would accept of Governor of the State, We are informed by the Aurora of Saturday last that the aforesaid Joseph, Mayor of Burlington, was called to the Chair; and delivered an Address after which the nomination of a Committee of Perious residing in each County took place. The first on the list for Burlington County is a Fr. nchman, who has been but a few years in the United States. Doctor John Bognard an avowed Infidel; who lives near the Black Horse in the Township of Mansfield. It would be impossible for France to have a more active Agent than this Man, he is decidedly in favour of French measures, openly justifies the conduct of the terrible Republic, towards our Government; and heretofore has been very busy, in his endeavours to corrupt the good people, by disseminating his damnable principles. He is now very active in his own district, in promoting the election of Jefferson, and has made use of every mean for that purpose. Fellow Citizens keep a good look out.

GLORIOUS NEWS— OR FEDERALISM TRIUMPHANT. BALTIMORE, October 9.
Copy of a letter to the Editors of the Federal Gazette.
GENTLEMEN, Inclosed you have a correct statement of the Montgomery County Poll, in the County at large. Hezekiah Veatch 1155 Thomas Beall, of Geo. 1139 Thomas Davis 1163 Robert P. Megruder 1171 John T. Mason 560 George Riley 534 Daniel Reintzel 565 Edward Burgefs, jun. 518 At Piscataway the Federal ticket was 330 votes a-head, at the close, and at Blacken-burg 50.
The following is a correct statement of votes for Sheriff, according to the returns from the several districts:
Table with 2 columns: District, Votes. Wilson 1999, Bailey 1463, Baker 1231, Philips 172.
Mr. James Wilson is therefore duly elected Sheriff of Baltimore County.
WASHINGTON, (Po.) Oct. 7.
Yesterday the election of members to serve in the next General Assembly for the State of Maryland commenced. Intelligence from those best able to judge of the result of this election, induces a belief that the federal republican candidates will be returned generally. Relying on such information, we augur well to the federal cause, and boldly look forward to the future prosperity and happiness of our country. We shall endeavour to obtain a statement of the different returns, that the public may know the issue of this all important election, as early as possible.
State of the poll taken at George Town, one the five districts in Montgomery County:
Table with 2 columns: Federal, Anti-federal. R. P. Megruder 178, Thomas Beall (of George) 182, Thomas Davis 178, Hezekiah Veatch 179.
From Montgomery court house we hear that the foremost anti was 8 votes behind the lowest federal candidate. And from the other three districts a great majority may be relied on.
State of the Poll at Bladenberg, Prince Georges County.
Table with 2 columns: Federal, Anti-federal. Addison 216, Walter Bowie 217, Cramphin 270, Duchett 220, Sommerville 258, William Baker 213, Marbury 258, Wood 204.
Total 1002 854. At Piscataway, (Prince George's County) at three o'clock yesterday, 523 votes were taken, out of which the anti's got only 70.
From the three other districts of Prince George's County, we have authority for counting on a very large majority indeed.
NEW-YORK, October 11.
Mr. Frederick Butler, of Weathersfield, Connecticut, has recently invented a new Patent Cook Stove, for boiling, roasting, toasting, frying, broiling and baking, in a very easy and expeditious manner, all kinds of meats and vegetables, necessary for a family in one day, with only three or four quarts of coal as fuel. A stove possessed of these properties must certainly be an object to every family in the United States, where wood is as dear as it is in this city, and we sincerely hope may be brought into general use.
The United States frigate Adams, Capt. Robinson, having completed her crew, dropped down yesterday to the Watering-place at Staten-Island. It is said she will sail on her second cruise in a few days.
The frigate New-York, capt. Morris, we are informed, wants about 50 to complete her crew. It is expected she will also be ready for sea in a few days.
Last evening was launched at Brooklyn, a beautiful ship of Mr. Jackson's. She is constructed for an Indian, and is allowed by the best judges, to be the finest merchantman ever built here—her model and workmanship none have excelled. Mr. Ackford, the builder, had her afloat in one minute from the time named for launching, with the assistance of four carpenters driving four wedges.
Captain Story last evening handed us Jamaica papers to the 13th ult. We find that the brigs Barbary, Clay; Elias, Maxwell; Tace, Bunce; and Diadama, Syms, have arrived at Jamaica.

MR. WAYNE,
SIR, I FIND your paper continues to make me an object of personal attack. Having been confined in Prison, it has not been in my power to repay inuendo by personal chastisement, and on my coming out, I have been bound over to good behaviour for twelve months, myself in 1000, and two sureties in 500 dollars each. It is perfectly consistent with the cowardly politics of your party to insult where you think you can do it with impunity, and if you will proceed in abusing me without provocation and while I am deprived of the power of repelling it properly, you must; but if I continue to be the object of your abuse, I shall not forget to do myself justice, when I can do it without injury to my friends.
THOMAS COOPER.
October 10, 1800.
The above was presented me yesterday afternoon, by a Man, whom I never saw before, but who from his conversation appeared to be a Foreigner; he was accompanied by Dr. Reynolds. After I had read the letter I observed, as a hint for them to leave my office, that "it was very well." After saying this one of them wished to give me a little advice and said "he wished to have peace, but if I was not silent Mr. Cooper and his friends would——" here I stop'd them short by observing, that "Cooper and his friends may do as they please, I shall act as I think proper" and left them abruptly, as they went out of the office door muttering.
In the above letter the Public may see the means, resorted to by the Jacobins, to prevent their infamy from being exposed. An American Editor, a native of Pennsylvania, whilst publishing a paper in the capital of the United States, is threatened by a Foreign fugitive for exposing his infamous designs upon the Government and People. "Liberty of the Press" is constantly rung in our ears by the Jacobins, but the moment that Liberty is used against the most infamous and abandoned characters in society, if they be Democrats, threats of vengeance are immediately used in hopes to intimidate the Printer. Should Mr. Jefferson, and his friends once gain the ascendancy, we venture to predict, that no Editor will risk the publication of Truth, when it is against them; for if he do he will most assuredly risk assassination; the People may then hug their Chains in silence, their complaints will be compared to the "workings of small beer." The above letter from Cooper, a fellow lately come to the country, and just punished for a libel on the President, is a specimen of unparalleled impudence.
Mr. Cooper,
SIR.
Your Insolent letter, conveying your threats of vengeance, I despise, as much as I do the author of them. I shall pursue the line of my duty, and expose you to my fellow-citizens whenever your conduct deserves it. Whatever your situation may be, I know you have comrades who would not hesitate to act a bloody part to oblige you, but they and you, if your threats are carried into execution, shall not do it with impunity, as I shall at all times be prepared to do myself justice on any villain who may make the daring attempt.
C. P. Wayne.
One of the sorry Poetasters in the Aurora is so wretchedly deficient in the lowest elements of rhyme that he reminds us of little Dick Distich in the Tatler, who, as Sir Richard Steele humourously narrates, "was famous, many years ago, for writing a Song, and a ballad, and is now far gone in an Epi-gram of two lines!"
With reverence speaking He never was a poet of God's making The midwife laid her hands on his thick skull, With this prophetic blessing—Be thou dull— Drink, swear, and roar—forbear no loud delight, Fit for thy bulk, do any thing—but write— Rat rathane, mingle arse with thy drink, Still thou mayst live, avoiding pen and ink.
Duane and his cowardly complotters are completely choked by the late public proofs of their fallhood, respecting the character and conduct of the Revd. Mr. ABERCROMBIE. By "a plain tale" he has "put down" these "lying Jacks" of democracy, who display the cowardice, prevarication, and fallhood of Falstaff, without his wit and humour. We are sincerely rejoiced to find that the public indignation is roused against an Irish and desperate brawler, who presumes to calumniate an amiable clergyman for honestly discharging his Christian duties. Mr. A., amid honest views, and "in conscious virtue bold," can always find Et Presidium, et decus , both his strength and his pride. But there are not wanting to his defence, when necessary, a numerus bonorum , who have not learned to talk prophetically of Twenty Gods, or none ; and we exult to find that the Christian Fortress is gallantly, as well as numerously defended.
William Robinson (the elder) South Front Street No. 330, presents his most respectful compliments to Mr. William Duane, Editor of the Aurora, and most sincerely thanks him, for his politeness in giving the Old Whig of '76 a list in the business that W. R. has undertaken. By Mr. Duane's publication, on the top of a column in the Aurora of Friday the 10th inst. the phrases used by Duane in his publication, "factious old gentleman, and jocular old gentleman," which are synonymous terms, and also a small Trith-ism (humbug) likewise the tickets No. 1, 2, 3, &c. Mr. Duane will confer a further obligation on W. R. by publishing the meeting of
the Electors of Southwark, Moyamensing, and Passyunk, to be held at the house of Matthew Spillane in South-Street, on Saturday the 11th inst. at 6 o'clock in the evening. The said publication was handed to the press of the Aurora, and was promised to be published the 10th inst. but through hurry, mistake or design, it did not make its appearance; but as Mr. Duane is one of the most impartial printers, the public may expect to see the advertisement alluded to, in to-morrow's paper the 11th of October. October 10.
Israel Israel did, in the presence of John Smith, James Sharfwood, and others, declare previous to the decision had by the Committee who were appointed to decide on the claims of Individuals for the Sheriff's office, that, if he was not the person agreed on, and Alexander Boyd was, he would vote for Joseph Cowperthwait.

For the Gazette of the United States.
WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE.
ACCORDING to promise, Duane has procured from Mr. Dallas, the manuscript report, prepared for his fourth volume, of the case of Bats and Tingey, decided in the Supreme Court of the United States, in August and February term, 1800 as stated in the Aurora.
Duane asserts with his usual impudence, that the report furnished him, by Mr. Dallas, completely falsifies the report of the same case, first published in the Gazette of the United States. We undertake to pronounce the assertion, to be a lie—and as the best proof we can furnish the public, that it is a lie—we republish the report as it originally appeared in this Gazette. The public may then judge, whether any thing contained in the report furnished by Mr. Dallas, contradicts or falsifies the report we gave, and whether we have been guilty, (as accused by Duane) of "a wicked and perfidious attempt, to impose a false report of the opinions of the judges of the Supreme Federal Court, in the question respecting the relative situation of France and America." The report we published, pretended to be nothing more than an abridgement of the case in question; without either the authorities cited, the arguments of counsel, or the opinions of the judges at large; we do not make reports for sale by the volume, at the enormous price of seventeen dollars a piece —it is not our trade—but we pledge ourselves for the correctness and the fidelity and the accuracy of the results , given by us, as the opinions of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Bats and Tingey.
SUPREME COURT of the U. STATES.
LAW-REPORT
In our report on Saturday respecting the proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States; we stated erroneously, that no judgment had yet been rendered in the case of Bats against Tingey. A decision in fact, took place on Friday, in which the judgement of the Circuit Court which decreed one half the value of the ship Eliza and cargo to the recaptors, by way of salvage, was affirmed. The Court pronounced their opinion SEPARATIM , and the question of WAR OR NO WAR, as it respects the relative situation of the United States, and the French Republic received a solemn AFFIRMATIVE and unanimous adjudication. The period at which this state of things commenced, was dated on the 7th July, 1798, when Congress, by law, declared the Treaties between the United States, and France, no longer binding. From that time, a qualified and restricted state of war has existed, and the French nation have been ever since entitled to the appellation of "enemies" to the American nation. This construction necessarily brings the French within the meaning of the expression used in the 7th section of the act of Congress, entitled an act for the government of the Navy of the United States, which says, "that for the ships or goods, belonging to the Citizens of the United States, or to the Citizens or subjects of any nation in amity with the United States, if retaken from the enemy" within 24 hours, the owners are to allow one-eighth part of the whole value for salvage, &c. and, if above ninety-six hours, one half. The ship Eliza, recaptured by the Ganges, had been more than ninety-six hours in possession of the French—and this decree of the Supreme Court affirming that of the Circuit Court, establishing the construction, that a retaking from the French, is a retaking from "the enemy," which under the law of Congress, in force at the time of his recapture, entitles the recaptors to one half of the whole value, as salvage.
A case of some importance in reference to the revenue system of the United States also received a solemn adjudication. Priestman, Plff. in Error vs. The United States. For the C. Court for the Penn. dist. A quantity of watches of various description, had been imported into the port of Baltimore, and the entry duties regularly paid upon them. They were afterwards transferred over land into the district of Pennsylvania, but the owner had neglected to take a permit from the collector for the district of Maryland, prescribed by an act of Congress as necessary, to render lawful the transportation of goods from one district to another, by land. The watches, when brought into the district of Pennsylvania, were seized, libelled and condemned as forfeited the United States. The present argument before the Supreme Court was for the purpose of obtaining a reversal of the sentence of condemnation given in the Court below, but after a full discussion, by Ingersoll and S. Levy for Plaintiff in Error, Rawl and W. Sargent for Defendant. The Court affirmed the decree.

JACOBIN LIES, AND Aurora Forgeries, Detected. For the Gazette of the United States.
TO THE PUBLIC.
ONE William Rogers having been induced to make a Declaration, purporting that "I threatened to have him indicted for High Treason if he would not sign a protest against the meeting at Slab-Town; and also to relinquish the office of a committee man under that meeting." I do Hereby Declare, that the whole of that publication, as far as it respects me, is absolutely false. The truth is this; I was at Mr. Harkinson's Tavern one day last week—a captain Rogers, Brother of William, informed the company that his Brother's name was used as one of the committee, without his knowledge, and he believed he disapproved of it. Some time after Mr. Rogers came into the room; I asked him if he was at Slab-Town and authorised his name to be used—he answered in the negative. I mentioned to him, that if he disapproved of the appointment, it would be right for him to make it public, so that it might be known how his name happened to be there, and asked him if he intended to act under that appointment. His answer was, "that he did not know; he understood there was some bad Government." I asked him what he understood: He said "he was told that President Adams had made away with a great sum of public money." On receiving this answer and perceiving the man was very ignorant, I broke off further conversation. As to drawing up a protest and offering it to him, or using any sort of threat as stated in his certificate, the whole of such Statement is without foundation; and is merely thrown out by some unprincipled men, as an Electioneering Trick.
WILLIAM GRIFFITH.
October 9, 1800. We have read the publication of one William Rogers in the Aurora of the 8th inst. relative to Mr. Griffith.
