Kentucky gazette and general advertiser (Lexington [Ky.]), 1808-08-07 00:00:00

To Charles Gratiot & James Maxwell.
Having seen a production in an extra Palladium, under your signatures, the first in behalf of the people of St. Louis, and the second for the people of St. Genevieve, which appears to have for its object, the political damnation of Rufus Easton—it becomes necessary that you yourselves, as the virtuous pastors of the people, should also have an introduction to the public. I shall therefore give a small sketch of your lives and characters, in order that the public may duly appreciate your violent denunciations, and indecent slanders. It is not my intention to descend to an investigation of the charges which party calumny has fabricated against Mr. Easton, and to which you have been duped to lend your names—for should they be deemed worthy of notice, upon the return of Mr. Easton to St. Louis, you will probably be obliged to substantiate them in a court of justice.
Charles Gratiot—You Sir, who have signed for the people of St. Louis, (and of whom the public might probably never have heard, if you had not been persuaded by some political rogue, to lend your name to this modest and elegant piece of satire,) were born in Switzerland, and what induced you to leave your native country, or under what colours of reputation you left it, we are not able to say. But during your residence in St. Louis, under the Spanish government, you were a servile instrument in the hands of a petty despot, to oppress and injure the poor. You were one of those, who, from your dexterity in court arts, enjoyed a complete monopoly of every privilege and advantage, whilst basking in the sunshine of royal favour.
You have now for the sake of pecuniary gain, forsaken the honorable office of first Justice of the district of St. Louis, for that of Clerk to the board of land commissioners. Permit me to ask you, if you do not err this, repent of having placed yourself in this painful and perilous situation? How many anti-dated concessions of your own fabricating, have here stared you in the face? How many dollars have you and your friends Souland and Mackay, in your tremors, refunded to the innocent victims of your impositions, because of your dread of being arraigned at the bar of justice, to answer for your fraudulent and abominable transactions? How much money did you pay for your concession of a league square, near the town of St. Louis? and in the procuring of which, your money prevailed against the united remonstrances of the poor people of the village? Did not your conscience twinge, when you obtained this grant from the Governor-General at New-Orleans, in express opposition to the interest and entreaties of the poor people of the village? and which not only covered the fair and bona fide claim of a poor woman, derived from an inferior officer of the government, but was also esteemed as covering a great part of the commons of the town? Do you esteem this as justice, honour, or fair dealing? Know, Sir, you are now transmigrated (not by your approbation,) into a republican government, where the poor people will, e'er long, find out they have a right to assail you, with the just execrations of the injured and the oppressed.
The iron rod of monarchy is not now held over the heads of the mass of the people, to keep them in terror. They are now freemen, as well as you. Under any other administration, save that of Wilkinson, you will have no more favour shown you, than the poorest peasant you have heretofore insulted and oppressed. When the reign of Wilkinson's terror shall e'er long be immolated on the altar of insulted republicanism, there will be no person to threaten the gabbling poor man with the gag, for revealing your black and midnight transactions. Sir, with what effrontery have you dared to impose yourself on the public, as the representative of the people of St. Louis? Was there a ny election by which you were honourably chosen to prostrate the character of Rufus Easton? or was it not done in one of those secret conclaves, which you, Mullany, Chouteau, Donaldson and Penrose, so frequently held at the palace royal? You are truly Sir, by your stupidity, rendered a fit instrument in the hands of a faction, to execute the
noble, but perilous work of destroying the character of Wilkinson's opponents. Let me advise you, to beware of signing your name to political publications. Your plea of ignorance of the English language, will not screen you from the merited punishment of your calumnies. You requite Governor Wilkinson's generosity, in bellowing on you the appointment of Clerk to the board of commissioners, with your scurrility on Easton. This is the price of your clerkship, I presume. For this office, you, as well as your patron, are well aware you do not possess one single qualification; nor will any person have the hardihood to assert, that you yourself, discharge the smallest part of the duties required from the incumbent of this very important office. Qualifications, disinterestedness, and if not an attachment, at least a peaceable acquiescence in the change of governments, were not thought requisite by those who conferred on you this unmerited appointment. All the qualification required, was a firm and unalterable adherence to Governor Wilkinson: and his well known attachment to the Spanish government, could not fail to secure him the warm friendship of all those, who secretly repined at the change of government in Louisiana.
I will now pass to your worthy and reverend colleague, in this righteous work, the holy father in God! Without travelling out of this piece of Billingsgate elegance, I have sufficient grounds afforded, by the very signature of this reverend Priest, to make him repent for his vile sin, in abandoning his little flock, and wantonly overleaping the pale of the Church, to politically damn a heretick. Sir, is it not a most wicked and frightful departure from the tenets of the religion you profess: for a Priest to take such an active and malignant part in politics, faction and partyism, as you appear to have done, by this wanton and unprovoked attack? Is this the mild language, and chaste conduct of a Christian towards a fellow creature? I fear your anointed thumb will not be sufficient to protect you from the punishment such wanton scurrility deserves. I fear, Sir, you will, in your turn, meet with some difficulty in obtaining forgiveness for this vile and unchristian act. Permit me to ask, where was the necessity of signing yourself Vicar General ? Did you suppose that this would attach a greater degree of credit to your statements, than the simple name of James Maxwell? Or did you mean by signing yourself as Vicar General , to draw down on the head of Mr. Easton, the horrible curse of the Church of God? Is this an official act, as a Roman Catholic Priest? Do you believe you have made yourself more acceptable in the eyes of God, by thus stepping forward as the political champion of Governor Wilkinson, for the everlasting damnation of Mr. Easton? Know, Sir, you have taken the most direct steps to stamp suspicion on your political sermon, throughout the United States, by signing yourself as Vicar General . At this day, all governments, and particularly those of a republican form, have the utmost detestation for priestcraft, and look upon all these acts as suspicious, and originating in deceit, imposition and fraud.
But, Sir, if we may judge from this untimely and monstrous production, your political life will only keep pace with your moral line of conduct. Your gambling, horse-racing, card-playing, fox-hunting, &c. &c. are all in close and natural alliance with your support of Wilkinson and his administration. How you will act in your new office of one of Wilkinson's Judges, is not yet known. You are truly, Sir, a character of no ordinary standing. I hope you will prove the ornament of the bench, as you are the light of the pulpit; and as you have now two kinds of avocations to occupy your attention, suffer me to advise you, as you regard the honour of your friend, who sought you out as the channel through which the pure stream of justice was to flow to the citizens of St. Genevieve, to spare a little more time from the gaming table, to render yourself capable of doing what no Priest before you ever done, that of judging both the soul and body. Suffer me to inform you, that gambling, horse-racing, and that long list of immoralities and impieties, which you daily, as well as nightly commit, are not inconsistent with the duties of a Roman Catholic Priest—they are very unbecoming, and frequently forbidden in an
American justice of the peace. Let me advise you, Sir, to betake yourself to fasting and prayer. Reform to the Temple of God, and by laying mals, repent for your manifold sins and transgressions. Quit your political harangues, lest the people should mistake you as the Vicar of Christ, for the champion of the devil. But, Sir, as the junction of the civil and military has been effected in the person of Wilkinson himself, I am not astonished at his joining in you, the civil and the Spiritual. I am only astonished, that he did not go a little further, and promote you to the military command of the district also. This is the only trait wanting in your character, to make you truly a great man: for what you could not effect as Vicar General , you might accomplish as first Justice of the district, and what neither of those would enable you to perform, might be completed by your military authority. He is determined to keep up the example in Louisiana, set him at the City of Washington, as to the junction of opposite powers in the hands of one individual. He has even not forgotten his honourable Secretary, whom he has promoted to the office of a justice of the peace, and first justice of the Court of Common Pleas, in the district of St. Louis. The great benefits which the territory has derived from these promotions, have been sufficiently manifested in the multiplicity of extraordinary affidavits, certificates, &c. &c. which have been taken before him, and published in the papers. But, Sir, to return to you—How many signatures to petitions did you promise Wilkinson, for giving you the commission of a justice of the peace? Did you promise to recommend him to your penitent sinners, whilst they were in the act of confession? Did you tell them, that if they did not sign his petition, you would not forgive them their sins? And are you as ignorant of the ecclesiastical law, as Wilkinson is of the civil? Is it not contrary to the tenets of the Roman Catholic religion, for a Priest to hold a civil appointment? Recollect, Sir, that although your religion is not now exclusively the established religion of the land, yet it is maintained by the laws of the country. You are not bound by the change of governments, to forsake the formalities, privileges and exemptions of your religion, for the glory of a political hero; and if you do, it must be the effect of choice. When you were pursuing Mr. Easton with such horrible vengeance, you had forgotten that the Lord's prayer made a part of your daily service in the Church. Your political madness has induced in your mind a total oblivion of that part of the Pater Noster, which teaches you to forgive others their sins, as you expect forgiveness yourself. It has been so long since you were in the habit of using the backgammon table, and the history of the four Kings, (to use one of your expressions from the vocabulary of gamblers,) whilst your Bible and Testament were supposed to lie in the dust on the shelf—that you have entirely forgotten the mild and charitable doctrines contained in the latter, for the bewitching vices derived from the former.
A REPUBLICAN.
St. Louis, 16th July 1806. MR. BRADFORD,
In your paper of the first of July there is published an extract of a letter from this place to a gentleman in Lexington in which several names has been mentioned as forming a lawless combination: To prevent any unfavourable opinion that may be impressed on the mind of the gentleman to whom that letter was addressed, or on the minds of the public not acquainted with the political situation of Louisiana, you will recieve herewith enclosed the copy of an association for a volunteer company of officers, which was signed by sixty five persons, who met and chose their officers. Thomas F. Reddick was unanimously elected Captain, Samuel Solomon was chosen Lieutenant, and Frederick Conner Ensign; their proceedings were sent to col. Samuel Hammond commandant of the district, with a request by the company to lay the same before the Governor, that the officers so appointed might be commissioned. This proceeding is warranted by the laws of this territory, to wit, by the 24th section of an act "Establishing and regulating the militia," which reads in these words, "And be it further enacted, that when in the opinion of the
commander in chief such corps can be conveniently raised and equipped, independent troops of Horse, Grenadiers, Light Infantry, and Riflemen may be formed, which shall be officered, armed and wear such uniforms as the commander in chief shall direct." The assertion that the association was armed is totally false; the company never had but one meeting, which was at the time they chose their officers: This pitiable brat of a desperate antedating Federal faction has thought proper to insinuate that col. Samuel Hammond, an old well bred and firm republican officer who faced the enemies of his country when this snaring cur was probably sneaking in a corner.
One of the volunteer company.
WE the undersigned, at this time inhabitants of the town of St. Louis, viewing with much regret the defenceless situation of this town, and having reason to apprehend that many of the Indians are not friendly disposed towards the inhabitants of this place, particularly the Americans, hereby agree and bind ourselves one to the others as a volunteer company of riflemen, to furnish ourselves with good and sufficient arms, and be at all times ready to defend our lives and property against the incursions of our Indian neighbours; at the same time professing ourselves friendly disposed towards them and determined not to molest them or otherwise injure them, unless the respect we have for our own lives should make it absolutely necessary to defend ourselves.

FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
Although Great Britain after Jay's treaty, had relinquished every idea of obtaining possession of Kentucky and the western territory, yet they were informed both by their agents in France and America, of the proceedings and progress of the Kentucky Spanish Association.
The celebrated William Cobbet, we are well assured from several individuals who conversed with him, was acquainted with the most material circumstances in the Kentucky conspiracy. Cobbet might have obtained his information in different ways, either directly from the British ministers Hammond and Linton, or from col. Barclay the English consul in the city of New-York, who is well informed on the subject. Barclay is a native of New-York, the son of a doctor Barclay late a clergyman in that city. The closest intimacy has existed from the years of boyhood between him and the rev. John Mason, the brother-in-law of John Brown. It is therefore probable that what J. Brown has revealed to Mason is equally known to Barclay. Colonel Barclay however, is a diplomatic character of the greatest suspicion and not to be relied on even by his own court. Like all the American Tories in the revolutionary war, he displayed a spirit of revenge and cruelty which even disguised the party whose cause he espoused. At the close of the war he retired with many others of his associates into the wilds of Canada, where he lived dependent upon Governor Simcoe until his appointment as British consul for the Eastern States. This appointment he entirely owed to the favor of Prince Edward, the fourth son of his Britannic majesty. Prince Edward had arrived with Simcoe in Canada in a military capacity, and the address and art of Barclay soon gained upon a young mind fond of flattery and unaccommodated to intrigue. Several remonstrances however were sent to England against the appointment by men acquainted with the character of Barclay, one in particular by Colonel Glenny of Nova Scotia to his friend Mr. Sheridan. But under the administration of Pitt and Melville it is well known that remonstrances from opposition members although well founded had no effect. Barclay therefore was continued in office both to the injury of his own court and that of the American commerce.
The secrecy that Cobbet preserved upon the subject in all his writings, demonstrates that the government of Britain was no ways displeased at their intrigues which were carrying on in Kentucky; for if Cobbet had chosen to have given publicity to the affair, it is evident
the conspirators would have incurred at once the odium of the public.
In the commencement of this investigation we had supposed that the first idea of placing Kentucky under the Spanish yoke had originated with Governor Wilkinson. But we are since informed from unquestionable authority, that a project of the same sort was started several years before Wilkinson's arrival in the western country, by col. John Todd, who was killed at the battle of the Blue Licks, the 18th of August 1782. In the fall of the preceding year Colonel Todd with about fifty or sixty of his adherents assembled at Harrodsburgh to deliberate on this scheme; but a colonel Donaldson, a firm supporter of the union of the states, having heard of their intentions convened a much larger party and broke up their meeting in a manner by force rather than persuasion. But it ought to be recollected that Colonel Todd was much more excusable than any of the succeeding conspirators. In those years Kentucky was in reality a field of blood, scarcely a settlement or station passing a week in peace without an attack from the Indians; but afterwards the scene was considerably changed as appears from the adventures of col. Daniel Boone who states the action of the Blue Licks to have been the last of any note in Kentucky, and concludes his narrative in the following words: "Two darling sons and a brother have I lost by savage hands, which have also taken forty valuable horses and an abundance of cattle. Many dark and sleepless nights have I spent, separated from the cheerful society of men, scorched by the summer's sun and pinched by the winter's cold, an instrument ordained to settle the wilderness. But now the scene is changed; peace crowns the sylvan shade."
The interests of the contending parties in the early conventions of the state had extended their influence among their respective acquaintances and occasioned a number of private feuds and quarrels, which continued for many years afterwards, and fitted a great portion of the people to afford a ready ear to the harangues of Wilkinson and his agents. Those men too, which the arch general selected for trumpeting forth his fame were generally characters of a bullying and bravado disposition, who blustered more with their tongues than their hands, men who according to the common phraseology of the country, had a loud and snappant voice, although they spoke extremely little to the purpose—of those one captain J**t of the county of Woodford may be noticed, principally on account of the sudden change in his principles with regard to the views of Wilkinson. This man had opposed the general's motion in the convention; but very soon afterwards became one of his warmest and most ardent supporters, and has continued until this day perhaps the most zealous adherent, general Wilkinson has in the state of Kentucky,

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season.

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 7.
In consequence of the alteration in the times of arrival and departure of the several Mails from this office, the Kentucky Gazette will in future, (at least until another change in the time of arrival of the Mail shall take place,) be published on Monday and Thursday.
Yesterday closed the general Election for Representatives to Congress and the State Legislature. In the district now represented by John Fowler, no opposition has been made to Benjamin Howard who is certainly elected.
Henry Clay, John Pope and William Russell, are elected representatives for the County of Fayette, to the general Assembly.
A Gentleman lately through the Indian Nation, informs, that he passed there the 17th ult. the day after the Eclipse of the Sun; that the Indians were assembled in large bodies, with a view (they said,) to shoot away the Eclipse. He observes, that he supposes, that the number of guns fired on that occasion, exceeded one thousand. This shews what degree of superstition prevails among them.

DISTRESS IN GERMANY.
The following affecting account is from authority that entitles it to credit:
The astonishing transactions which took place on the continent towards the close of the last year, must have been familiar to all, who bestow the slightest regard upon the passing occurrences, nor can the unparallelled velocity with which the French troops over-ran various parts of Germany, be easily forgotten. But the requisitions, exactions, and excesses of every kind, which was systematically carried on towards the hapless inhabitants, and the awful distresses thereby occasioned, have not been sufficiently known in Great Britain, to excite that general commiseration which imperious necessity demands.
In consequence of the accumulated miseries produced by the war, and of the scanty supply of provisions, arising from two successive years of scarcity, the inhabitants of many German provinces have been overwhelmed with such a pressure of distress, that, without foreign relief, great numbers must have perished. To augment the catalogue of their woes, almost all trade, manufactures, and commerce have been suspended—for want of fuel, whole villages have been destroyed by the hostile armies, in order to keep watch fires; so that numbers of the wretched inhabitants were exposed, stripped of their clothes and destitute of shelter, to all the inclemency of the winter; and a malignant pestilential disorder has swept away many thousands (in Moravia alone upwards of twelve thousand) which the sword and famine had spared.
With a view to afford some alleviation to these calamities, a subscription was opened in London, and a committee formed as early as last November; who have by the liberal donations and benefactions afforded them, been enabled to make remittances to those places which most urgently stood in need of help; by which means the poor inhabitants have procured supplies of provision from different parts of the continent. The committee have received a considerable number of very interesting letters, acknowledging the late arrival of the remittances, in terms of the most affecting gratitude—and further specifying in what manner and proportions they had been applied.
The committee regret that the necessary limits of this address, unavoidably prevent them from introducing any of the very interesting, but melancholy details of misery, contained in their respective reports already published—but as the fund hitherto appropriated to this purpose, is now almost exhausted, the committee have no resource left them, to recruit, but by an appeal to the sympathy and generosity of an enlightened and benevolent British public.
On the extent of the misery that
exists, some idea may be formed when it is observed, that the stores of grain, both public and private, were speedily consumed or destroyed, by the numerous armies, which were successively poured into Germany, destitute of clothes, provisions, and every other necessary. No place or country, though not the immediate theatre of war, has suffered more from long continued exactions, than Hanover; whence official accounts have been received, containing the most affecting statements of systematic extortion and devastation; and many have been literally starved to death!
Never has the benevolence of a British public been entertained in vain, on behalf of suffering humanity, and since this highly favoured nation has been preserved from the destroying sword, and the devouring pestilence, the committee implore their kind assistance in behalf of the hapless victims of such united horrors.
The committee would further observe, that notwithstanding the extraordinary change in the political aspect of continental affairs, they will be still enabled, from the security of their extensive and confidential correspondence, to convey the apportioned remittances with safety, to their destination. And it should be remembered, that the poor suffering inhabitants have no part in public affairs, but are still the worthy objects of British generosity. The committee would be amply justified, in employing on this occasion, the strongest expressions the mind can conceive, or language afford, in order to give an adequate view of the diversified miseries now afflicting the inhabitants of many parts of Germany; but they prefer calling the attention of the compassionate, to the interesting facts contained in the reports of their proceedings, published from time to time; and which may be had, on application to any of the committee in London, by whom donations will be gratefully received.

AN ELIGIBLE SEAT FOR IRON & OTHER WATER-WORKS.
The undersigned, from his experience in Iron and other water-works, is induced to believe that the mouth of Little river, in Christian county, forms the most eligible seat he has seen:—First, on account of the largeness and constancy of the stream—secondly, the security of the seat, as the dam may be founded on, and abutted against rocks through its whole length—thirdly, navigation, which is practicable at all times to the narrows of the different works—fourthly, the plenitude and quality of the Ore, there being ten or twelve banks of different kinds convenient to the seat—fifthly, the abundance and suitability of timber for the works or ship building—sixthly, the suitability of the surrounding country for the production of wheat, which, independent of the advantages of boating it down the Cumberland from Tennessee, would render a merchant mill valuable. Considerable work is already done at this seat, but as it admits of more extensive objects than the undertaker is able to embrace, he wishes to form a connection capable of prosecuting it into vigorous and extensive operation.
The terms will be advantageous, and can be known by an interchange of letters on the subject, with any gentlemen who may choose to adventure, after which the seat can be viewed, and a contract confirmed if thought advisable. EDWARD RUMSEY. Christo, cty. K. July 10, 1806. 4w

BLUE DYING TO PERFECTION.
I WILL colour cotton, linen or woolen, with a hot dye, and will warrant it to keep its colour—and because of the scarcity of cash, I have made my arrangements so as to enable me to take for pay, the following articles; corn, flour, meal, bacon, hemp, flax, country linen, and a variety of other articles. 'Tis hoped no one will ask credit, as I shall keep no book, it will be necessary payment should be made when the truck is taken away.
HUGH CRAWFORD, Main Street, corner of Main Cross Street,
THE way to keep the money circulating, in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington—The subscriber willing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at a very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public—Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford.
On Main street corner of Main Cross street.
An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. * * * Journeymen and apprentices are wanted. eott
