CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, November 25, 1794.
Debate on Mr. Fitzsimons's motion relative to self-created societies.
Mr. Murray laid, that he did not altogether like the precise wording of the amendment now before the house; he had hoped that some modification of it would have been prepared by some of the friends to its general object; but as none was offered, and there was a call for the question, he would vote for it, rather than against it. He said, that he had not been personally attacked by any of the tribunals in question, and no farther injured by their machinations, than as he was a citizen of a free republic, in whose prosperity he felt the closest possible union, and in whose calamities he of course felt the compleat sympathy. Among the various sources of the late calamity, the President had traced and designated certain self-created societies, who had arrogated the management of public opinions and affairs, and whom he had declared to have been in his opinion instrumental in fomenting the late insurrection. Mr. Murray confessed that he had feared last winter, lest the disorganizing spirit, which had gone abroad in the shape of resolutions from these societies, would have produced the effect ascribed to them by the President. The conduct of the democratic clubs, or those of them with which he had most acquaintance, appeared to him to have been instrumental to an event which had threatened destruction to the legitimate government of the citizens of the United States. If we believe this to be the case, Mr. Murray knew no motive, duty or policy, which ought to restrain us at this period from saying that we believed it, and from lamenting it. If any one of the sources of this evil be found in an abuse of the press, we may tell our constituents what we believe and lament—but if the fountain of this evil flow from the root of the tree of knowledge itself, it is our duty to point out its waters, which too freely drank have produced distraction and insurrection. Our declaration will rather hold out paternal caution to the thoughtless, than inflict legal penalties upon their follies. It will present to our fellow-citizens a memorable example of one source of error and political misfortune, by shewing them the danger, which has already cost above twelve hundred thousand dollars; and it will enforce a great republican truth, that in cases wherein, from the difficulty of definition, and from the very genius of freedom, a law would be dangerous, public virtue, in her enjoyment of a right, ought herself to prescribe the bounds which separate the use from the abuse. He could not see any evil that was to result from an expression of the opinion of the house, by the proposed amendment. It had not the quality of a law, for if a law were proposed for the abolition of these societies, he would oppose it. This amendment to the address would operate as an advice. It curtails not the right of a free press, which Mr. Murray held to be the luminary of the public mind. It would tend to excite a judicious and salutary enquiry among many, respecting the just and true limits within which a virtuous and enlightened well-wisher to our country would think it safe to exercise this right. Of the inutility and danger of such societies in this country, he had little doubt; the scene of their birth place was well adapted to the wholesome display of their powers. In France, where a despotism impregnable to public opinion had reigned, where no channel opened a sympathy by representation, with the great body of the nation, those societies were admirably adapted to break down the old bulwark of habitual authority. But in America the case was widely different. Look at the immense body of public functionaries, who in this country are elected immediately by the people, or by their electors, in a constitutional mode, and say, whether they are not adequate as functionaries to the public purposes of the country. Including every description of legislators, councils, governors, courts, jurors, and sheriffs, there are above twelve thousand. Of these more than eleven hundred are actual legislators, besides the hundred in this committee and those above stairs. These all act in the states, counties, townships, and hundreds, in separate but relative circles, so as to preclude a partial attention to any one scene to the exclusion of another. The whole country is full of well constituted organs of the PEOPLE'S WILL. Many of these legislators are in session twice a year, and all of them annually. In surveying this beautifully ray'd corps of vigilance and
public good, we might be confused by their immense number, were they not so admirably dispersed over the continent, and did they not move under the guidance of the laws, with the harmony of the spheres. It would not be easy to organize the nation into a more multifarious shape.
The case maintained by Mr. Dayton yesterday, appeared to be strong. He said that we had enquired into the defeat of St. Clair's army, and so we might into the causes of the insurrection. The house have a right to enquire into its cause, and if they find it in the midst of our liberties, that sanctuary is not to screen it from remark. To point it out to a people so enlightened, will be to prevent it in future. If the house agree in opinion with the President, they will speak their opinion, and do their duty. This declaration goes to the constituent body, thro' the executive, and while it gratifies their inquiries, in a point of so much solicitude, it erects a warning beacon. It shews to them the stormy breakers which lately threatened the public peace with shipwreck, and invites them to adhere to pilots of their own choosing, and to charts with which they are acquainted.
If the President had not thought some of the societies instrumental to the late calamity, they would not have attracted his notice, nor that of the house. It is because they are believed to have assisted and fomented the insurrection, that our constituents ought to be warned against them; and that another necessity for exerting their patriotism may be saved to those brave men, who are at present encountering every difficulty in the West. These societies are not attended to by the law, because, however offending some of their proceedings and doctrines may have been, yet the rights of the press ought not to be freely handled. The probe that would reach the bottom of the sore might give a spasm or a callous to the finest nerve which enlivens the organs of liberty.—Mr. Murray added a variety of other observations which we are forced to leave out for want of room.
Mr. Fitzsimons had no violent predilection for any performance of his own. He had therefore, to prevent so much disputing, prepared to withdraw his motion, providing that the committee were willing that he should do so, and in the room of this motion, he would read another for which he was indebted to a gentleman at his right hand (Mr. Bourne.) The committee consented.—The former motion was withdrawn, and the other was read. This was an echo of that part of the speech of the President, which mentions self-created societies .
Mr. Christie then rose. He was sorry to differ from his worthy colleague (Mr. Murray) on the question then before the committee; and he was doubly sorry to hear that gentleman labour so strenuously to saddle a public odium on some of the best citizens of the state (Maryland) which he represented.—Mr. Christie should not have risen on the present occasion, although he thought it an important one, had it not been to endeavour to rescue from public censure a society of gentlemen, who were described in the present amendment, before the committee, as objects of public opprobrium. Mr. Christie alluded to the Republican society of the town of Baltimore. If the present amendment took place, that society would be involved in general and undeserved censure. He would therefore inform the house of what description of men the Republican society of Baltimore consisted; and then the committee would be the best judges, whether they ought to be rewarded in the manner in which they were about to be rewarded, if the present amendment should be adopted. They were a society of gentlemen associated together, for the purpose of diffusing political knowledge through the state of Maryland, and to instruct their representatives in Congress, and in the Legislature of the state, in any point that they thought necessary, and not for the purpose of sowing dissention among the citizens of America, or of cultivating dislike to the union, and to the laws.
This society consisted of men, whose characters were superior to any censure that might be thrown against them, by the mover of the amendment, (Mr. Fitzsimons) for they would consider it no discredit to have his disapprobation. But when Congress are about to cast an odium on a particular society, who have every respect for that body, and have always inculcated obedience to the laws of the United States, Mr. Christie left it to the committee to determine, whether, if they were themselves, in the place of the Baltimore society, they would not feel their sensibility materially wounded? Was not this returning good
for evil? He again reminded the committee, that the Republican Society at Baltimore was composed of a band of patriots, not the fair weather patriots of the present day, but the patriots of seventy-five , the men who were not afraid to rally round the American standard, when that station was almost concluded to be a forlorn hope. They were men who, with their persons and properties, had assisted to drive from the soil of America, the present lawless disturbers of the world. "Are these the men," said Mr. Christie, "who ought to have all this mass of Congressional odium cast upon them? I trust not sir. I trust, that if particular gentlemen are illiberal enough to censure them, yet that this House will never agree to such iniquitous measures. What was the conduct of this society, when the first news of the late insurrection reached them? Did they not, in the most pointed manner, discountenance any such proceeding? Did they not refuse to correspond with any society that aided, or in any manner abetted the insurrection? They did more. They offered their personal services to go and help to crush this commotion in the bud." Mr. Christie subjoined that he would venture to say, and at the same time he spoke within bounds, that nine tenths of this society actually took up their muskets, and marched into the field, for the above laudable purpose, and that numbers of them still continue there and are the friends of peace and order, and not the disorganizers , that the present amendment would make them. Mr. Christie applied to the committee, to say whether the Baltimore self-created Republican society were the description of men whom the President, in his speech, meant to describe. He was sure it was not. Therefore, why involve in this indiscriminate censure, men, who have deserved so well of their country; men, who, instead of having odium cast upon them, merit every praise, which the federal government can bestow. For these, and some other reasons, Mr. Christie declared that he should vote against the amendment, and he trusted that he should vote in the majority.
Mr. Murray rose to explain. He did not mean this society. It was the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh societies. Mr. Murray was acquainted with this society, and had the greatest respect for them. As for the members of the other societies, he was for gibbeting their principles only.
Mr. Giles and Mr. Parker severally spoke against the term " self-created societies "—the latter gentleman moved that this should be struck out—Mr. Sedgwick was opposed to striking out the words: the democratic societies were certainly the object of censure in the speech—they certainly merited censure, and such ought to be the declaration of the committee. In this way the President ought to be supported by the Legislature. Mr. Venable was in favor of striking out the words—he said it was too general—and involved every description of societies not legalized by law whatever was the object of their institution—this general expression involves very serious consequences—it goes to the suppression of free discussion—and the expression of the public in respect to public men and public measures—If any of these societies can be designated as fomenters of insurrection let them be pointed out—let such be the objects of our censure—In making these remarks Mr. Venable said he had no fear of being considered as a disorganizer—his principles on the nature of government were well known—Mr. Dexter objected to striking out the words—He entered into a detail of the proceedings of these societies—their object has been invariably to censure the administration of the government—while they cloak themselves under the appellation of Republican they have constantly acted in contradiction to their title, by opposing the first principle of Republicanism, that a majority should govern.
He stated the reasons on which the propriety of echoing that part of the speech under consideration is founded.
Congress is the centre of information—it is treason against the people to withhold that information from the people in the remotest part of the union—it is impossible to notice that part of the speech now under consideration without giving an opinion relative to a fact—we must have an opinion on the occasion; two branches of the government have expressed their opinion—and it is the indispensable duty of the Committee to express theirs.
Every man said he who votes against expressing this opinion will be considered as advocating these institutions.
Mr. Gilbert regretted that the subject had been drawn into so much discussion—but it had developed so many facts and occasioned so many assertions relative to these societies that it was become indispensably necessary for the Committee to give an opinion—and he conceived that no solid objection had been offered against the motion as it lay on the table—he insisted that the assertion in the speech was well founded—that the evils stated have taken place and originated in the combinations and proceedings of these self created societies—this being the principle of the case, there results an evident propriety in our saying so—it is a fact which cannot be better expressed than in the words now on the table. Mr.
Nicholas observed that one species of argument had been introduced into the debate, which in itself merited no notice, but from the use which had been made of it, ought to have been answered—and that was, that those who objected to the motion ought to give their support since it was brought forward in order to support the President. He remarked that the President's popularity was implicated on this occasion, the advocates of the motion may thank themselves for it—he trusted that no consideration of this sort would induce any man to deviate from the dictates of his conscience, or sacrifice his independence.
He then entered into a consideration of the mode of attack on the societies adopted by the advocates of the motion; they had entered into a long series of abstract reasoning to prove that these societies merited censure, but had they proved a single fact, or would gentlemen pretend to say that this was a proper or legal mode of establishing any fact whatever.
Mr. Sedgwick said that in a government of departments, such as that of the United States, where the executive power was lodged in the hands of an individual, and where the legislature was not perpetually in session, there seemed to be a propriety in point of theory, sanctioned by the practice of all such governments of which we had any knowledge, that the executive should exhibit to the legislature, at the commencement of its deliberations, a general picture of the state of the community, and announce such facts as had, or might materially affect the public happiness. That in addition to the obvious propriety resulting from the nature of things, it was made constitutionally the duty of the President, to represent to Congress the state of the union." And that in doing this, such subjects were not alone to be selected, as were within the appropriate limits of legislation. That the President in conformity to a universally established practice, and in the permanence of the duties exacted as well by the confidence reposed in him, as by the express provision of the constitution, had declared to the legislature, that an unnatural insurrection had taken place against the government and laws, and that it had been fomented by certain combinations of men, under the general denomination of self-created societies."
The first question which presented itself to the committee, was whether the facts as stated by the President were true? and if so, the second question was whether it was the duty of the house to give their voice in support of the President's declaration? He was prepared, upon very mature and deliberate consideration, to give his unqualified assent to both questions.
A Gentleman (Mr. Giles,) had said that to echo the sentiments of the President, would destroy that unanimity which was so desirable in the house, and produce discord and irritation. No man would go further than himself to obtain or continue unanimity in the public councils; but he was at a loss to determine why gentlemen should permit themselves to be irritated at a declaration of the truth, respecting mischievous societies, who one gentleman (Mr. Nicholas) had affected to be contemptible, and whom he said he heartily despised—Societies whom no man had undertaken to defend, but which another Gentleman (Mr. Lyman) had represented as in deep repentance for past misconduct.
It had been said that the adoption of the proposed amendment, might be construed into an intention of restraining the freedom of debate. He was sorry to see any where, and more particularly in the legislature, a disposition to confound freedom and licentiousness. They were indeed as Christ and Belial. Was there not he said, an obvious distinction between a cool, dispassionate, honest and candid discussion of political measures, and a wicked, false, and seditious misrepresentation of public men and public measures? The former was within the province, and it was the duty of freemen—the latter was inconsistent with moral rectitude, tended to the destruction of freedom, and to produce every evil which could afflict a community. He was willing to concede that perhaps no boundary would be so accurately marked, by which the one might in all instances be subjected to punishment, without endangering the other. The boundary was nevertheless distinctly marked in the mind of every man correctly instructed in morality and politics.
If then it was agreed that this was not a subject on which legal discussion was contemplated it was asked, why should the house express an opinion on it? Mr. Sedgwick said he would ask in his turn, why express the other sentiments already unanimously agreed to in the address? Why particularly approve the gallant conduct of Gen. Wayne and his brave army? If the house might do this to condone to the Public benefit, by stimulating to like virtue

...why not, when it might equal... promote the public interest, repress... by inflicting deserved censure? The motives, the objects and effects are the same, the public good. Where would gentlemen find an authority in the one instance, which was wanting in the other?
One gentleman (Mr. McDowell) had said that the insurrection had not been fomented by the wicked and insidious conduct of Democratic Societies, but by the wanton acts of the government itself; and he had instance as evidence of this particularly the funding system & the assumption: Mr. Sedgwick said that if he had not previously known the gentleman, he should have supposed that he had imbibed his political doctrines at the streams which issued from the impure fountains of Democratic Societies. That it had been the trick of those societies to represent the public debt, not as it was in fact the purchase of our freedom and independence, but as wantonly and wickedly created by the legislature to destroy the pure principles of our republican government, and to institute in its stead a vile aristocracy. That this they know to be unfounded and false. It might be improper in point of time, it was only to on that account, to speak to those subjects which had been misrepresented by the false heads of the clubs. He would however submit to the candid consideration of the gentleman who made so violent an attack in respect to the assumption of the state debt, whether prudence, policy, justice or humanity dictated leaving states in point of public burden in that state of inequality in which the government found them? Some almost without any debt, while others were so burdened that the partial provision which they made created immense discontent, relaxed the sinews of government, prevented the encouragement of manufactures, promoted emigration? were the states thus circumstanced, less meritorious than their neighbours? and was the gentleman so acquainted with the subject as to be assured that an efficient provision could be made for what he would term the domestic debt proper independent of the assumption? He said he had never been able to account to himself for the extreme opposition which gentlemen had given to this measure in his opinion indispensable to the national prosperity.
A gentleman (Mr. Nicholas) had said that those associations were lawful, that some times they had conducted properly, and some times otherwise. — Mr. S. — said he had never heard of any instance in which they had done the former; he could not therefore assent to the assertion—whatever the characters of the individuals might be who composed those societies; if it was true, which was the case, as far as his information extended, and he appealed to the observation of other gentlemen in confirmation of his own, if true that composed generally of men disaffected to the government, combined under the specious pretence of giving to the people impartial political information with the seditious intention of slandering the measures of government and its administrators; if by misrepresentation and falsehood they had deceived the people, fomented rebellion and put at hazard the happiness and liberties of the country, which he believed, he had no doubt that they were unlawful, immoral and dangerous societies, against whose designs the people ought to be warned by those whom they had elected as their public guardians.

PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 27.
Extract of a letter from New-York, November 25. "I saw the Captain of a sloop that left Bermuda the 5th instant; he says that the new Governor had arrived in an American ship from London, and seemed to put an end to the depredations on American vessels."
The brig Molly, Capt. Morgan, and the brig John, were loading for Philadelphia when the Pigeon, Capt. Loxley, failed from London.
Foreign Intelligence.
Yesterday arrived in this port the ship Pigeon, Capt. Loxley, from London, which place she left the 28th September—From London papers to the 27th September—the following extracts are taken.
BERGEN OP-ZOOM, Sept. 20.
A kind of pest or jail fever reigns in this town; and the ague rages more than usually all over the country. We are, beside the Dutch, two British and one Hessian regiment. Our old Gov. ... and General Vander Duin,
brother to the officer who defended Sluys in gallantly, is preparing for a noble defence. Huist, Axel, Sas de Grand, and Philipsburg, will not be evacuated till the last extremity.
No engagement has taken place near Maestricht. The 20,000 French employed in the blockade of Valenciennes, Conde, &c. are now between Antwerp and Mechlin, and are to march towards Maestricht.
They seem to have given up their project of besieging Breda. The French made a new requisition three days back at Antwerp of 50,000 florins, and yesterday of 300 horses, probably for their artillery; and at Brussels 900 men, I suppose to work either at the Citadel of Antwerp, which they are fortifying, or at the future siege of Maestricht.
Do not credit the idle report of the French evacuating the Low Countries, — they must be forced, and that by more than one battle. The French have 4000 men encamped about 12 miles hence.
Their cruelties and extortions are beyond belief. Yesterday morning a reconnoitring party from this place pursued them to their very camp, and killed one of their officers.
LONDON, Sept. 27. General Clairfait's Army.
Several accounts were yesterday given of a defeat, which had been experienced by the army under the command of Gen. Clairfait; some of those were of a most gloomy nature, and will, we hope, be found greatly exaggerated; but of the fact of his having experienced a check, we are sorry to say, little doubt can be entertained; we shall however do our duty, by laying before our readers such accounts as have been received on the subject.
By the last messenger who arrived from the British army, we learn that an account had been received at the Head Quarters, of the Republican General Jourdan having made an attempt to turn the left wing of the Imperial army near Liege, in which he had succeeded, and had forced that part of the army to fall back to Aix-la-Chapelle.
Should this report be confirmed, a general engagement must ensue, or Clairfait will be obliged entirely to change the position of his troops, and too probably be forced by such a movement to leave Maestricht unprotected.
Another statement gives a more disastrous account; it runs thus: General Clairfait has been defeated, after an engagement of three days continuance!!
This army consisted of between 60,000 and 70,000, and was posted between Maestricht and Liege; his right being encamped in the neighbourhood of the former place, and his left occupying the strong post of La Chartreuse, in the vicinity of the latter.
It was on the left wing the French made their principal attack. The combat is said to have been of the most obstinate kind. It commenced on the 17th instant, and it was not till the 19th that the enemy succeeded in their efforts. On that day the Austrians were obliged to give way, with a loss on their part, that was estimated at upwards of twelve thousand men.
They fell back to Aix-la-Chapelle, which of course totally changes the position of General Clairfait's army, and puts the idea of co-operation on his part with the Duke of York totally out of the question.
General Clairfait must now act entirely on the defensive, and if he is unequal to contend with the forces under the command of General Jourdan, how is it probable for him to dispatch any reinforcements to the Duke, whose critical situation in being opposed to Pichegru's army of 80,000 men is sufficiently explained in the last Extraordinary Gazette.
The advices further state, that the French armies were every hour receiving fresh strength from the persons rejoining them, who had formerly returned home to assist in getting in nearly the most abundant harvest that France has ever known.
When Mr. Tooke was taken up, it is supposed that the manuscript of the second and third volumes of the Epea Pteroenta was also taken. It is to be hoped that the Minister will not be such a vandal as to withhold so great a treasure from the literary world.
The repulse of General Clairfait's left wing from Liege to Aix-la-Chapelle, was not effected without an obstinate resistance on his part. He was attacked on the 15th, the same day on which the attack was made upon the Duke of York. For that day, and the next, his troops sustained the shock of the enemy, but on the 17th were obliged to give way with very considerable loss.
The accounts from Holland are most alarming. The Duke of York is said to have passed Nimeguen, and to be evidently on his retreat across the Rhine: while, by the last movement of Clairfait, he seems also to be on the route to cross the same river. What may be the consequences of this complete surrender of the field to the French our intelligent readers will readily see. The possession
of Holland, which nothing could have given to the French but the guilt & folly of our ministers, will add to the marine of our enemy such power as must be tremendous, particularly when we consider the situation & extent of the coast and ports from which this additional force will issue. If already they have committed such devastation on the north seas, what must be the havoc in our trade, when to such a length of coast they add the shipping, the skill, and the industry of the Dutch? We may then be reduced to the melancholy situation, when even our aristocrats will not object, in Parliament, to the cutting of canals, as there will be no other means of supplying London with coals.
Part of the troops lately encamped near Flushing, under the command of Lord Mordaunt, is ordered for the West Indies. For what? there are two reasons — They are very much wanted in the West Indies; and the Dutch thought they wanted them so little that they would not even admit them into their towns, or assign them quarters in the villages.
The Duke of Bedford brings forward a motion for peace in which every honest man in the country will with his Grace succeed. He is to be seconded by the Duke of Grafton. The question is to be brought forward before the recess or before. His Grace will have of course much obloquy to encounter from Government Contractors, Crimps, and Sinecure Placemen.
The India ships now in the river are laden with such quantities of goods, that it is supposed they cannot be cleared at the Custom-house till a fortnight or three weeks after Christmas.
THE PATRIOTS OF POLAND.
The time is arrived when assistance to the Polish Patriots would produce the most important advantages. Happily the Prussian king is disgracefully driven from his position. An "armed nation" has convinced him how dangerous it is for a sovereign to trample upon the necks of his subjects — and the insulted majesty of a people will soon, we trust, inflict a severe and exemplary punishment on the insulting invaders of their monarch. In a respectable morning print of this day it has been proposed that those who rejoice in the glorious intelligence of the rising of the people of Poland should express their joy by a public dinner. We object to this proposition. Will eating and drinking establish the liberty of Poland? No — Let us subscribe the money for the purchase of such things as the patriots want — Let us send them stores and ammunition — Let us negotiate a loan for them. Surely the guarantee of a whole nation will at least be as good security as the emperor offers for his loan. Let the government WITHHOLD the subsidy to the King of Prussia, which they give for other purposes, and enable him to buy such necessary as he stands in need of for the prosecution of his detestable designs, and thereby produces the same effect as if it had been expressly given by the government of Great Britain for the subjugation of Poland. Let us do these things, and we shall deserve that nobility of all appellations — the FRIENDS OF HUMANITY, an appellation which we apprehend, policy will scarcely bestow on us for the share we have in the present contest against France.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 26.
Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Evacuation of this City by the British troops the same was celebrated with the usual demonstrations of joy.
At 12 o'clock the troops of cavalry commanded by Captains Lovell and Lamb, the Brigade Company of Artillery, the Grenadiers, and Light Infantry of the Brigade under the command of Major Morton, formed in front of the Public Buildings; and after being reviewed by the Adjutant General and several Field Officers, fired a feu-de-joie in honour of the day and then passed through the principal streets of the city. The martial, orderly, and elegant appearance of the troops on this occasion, must have afforded the highest satisfaction to every Lover of his Country. While the day brought to their minds "Scenes in strong remembrance yet," though they were scenes which they might hope were "fated never to return," yet should they again occur, on the patriotism of such a band of spirited citizens, they might place a hope of a like fortunate issue.
After the parade the officers partook of an elegant entertainment at Hunter's Hotel, when the following Toasts were drank:
1. The Day. 2. The United States. 3. The President. 4. The Governor of the State. 5. The late American Army. 6. Franklin, Adams, and Jay, the commissioners who signed the Treaty of Peace. 7. The French Republic. 8. Kosciuszko and the Polish nation. 9. The memory of those who have fallen in the cause of Freedom. 10. The patriotic army under General Lee. 11. The Corporation of the City of New-York. 12. Liberty and Humanity, may they be the order of the day in all Governments. 13. The militia of the United States. 14. The Agriculture, the Manufactures, and the Commerce of the United States. 15. The American Fair.

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 25.
The firm and decided tone of the President's address to Congress, in favour of the present constitution of the United States, must damp the ardor of its foes, and give vigor to the courage and energy of its friends. That good man, who has resigned all the pleasures of domestic private life, for the toils, the troubles and anxieties of the first station in government, and whose fidelity, integrity, patriotism and republican principles have resisted almost the tongue of calumny itself, that inflexible patriot, as human as he is brave, now finds it necessary openly and personally to espouse the cause of government against the disorganizing principles which have lately been sown in this free and flourishing country. He has doubtless experienced the inefficacy of temporizing expedients; and that it is time to try the strength of a good constitution and law against the intrigues of anarchoists and factions.
He sees the mischievous tendency of self created societies, and very openly expresses his disapprobation of their proceedings. He sees, as all Americans may see, that the factions, bloodshed and violence that have disgraced the proceedings of the convention of France the year past can be traced to a single source, the influence of the Jacobin Club over of Paris; and it is with pleasure we find the father of his country using his personal influence to discountenance such pernicious institutions. It is with equal satisfaction we see his recommendation to Congress to provide for reducing our public debt, and for indemnifying the sufferers by the late riots in Pennsylvania. These articles of his address, together with the assurances of his endeavours to do justice and live in peace with all nations, are proofs that, unaffected with power and distinction, he remains the incorruptible patriot and retains all his virtues in his public station.
Worse and Worse.
The Senate, in their answer to the President's address, give their opinion, that the proceedings of self created societies are calculated, if not intended, to disorganize our government. Was ever such a nest of aristocrats as that Senate! Let us propose a general meeting of those societies to take their addresses into consideration — Let us denounce the President and Senate.
In short let us get rid of them — We must prostrate the government — and do as they have done in France — down with all lovers of government. It won't do, fellow-citizens! We can never get along to our minds, with these old fellows at the head of affairs, who are called, venerable Statesmen; fathers of their country; we must put them aside — send them home, and put in their places — Cur dear selves —

Distant Subscribers
For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer.
As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.
