It is now incumbent upon me to perform my promise of replying to such objections to the article as may remain unanswered by the preceding remarks. It is with pleasure I note that the field is very narrow—that indeed there scarcely remains any thing which is not so frivolous and impotent as almost to forbid a serious replication—It will therefore be my aim to be brief.
It is now incumbent upon me to perform my promise of replying to such objections to the article as may remain unanswered by the preceding remarks. It is with pleasure I note that the field is very narrow—that indeed there scarcely remains any thing which is not so frivolous and impotent as almost to forbid a serious replication—It will therefore be my aim to be brief.
It is said there is only an apparent reciprocity in the article, millions being due on our side, and little or nothing on the other.
It is said there is only an apparent reciprocity in the article, millions being due on our side, and little or nothing on the other.
The answer to this is that no right being relinquished on either side, no privilege granted, the stipulation amounting only to a recognition of a rule of the law of nations, to a promise to abstain from injustice and a breach of faith, there is no room for an argument about reciprocity further than to require that the promise should be mutual as in the case—This is the only equivalent which the nature of the subject demands or permits—It would be dishonorable to except a boon merely for an engagement to fulfil a moral obligation—Indeed, as heretofore intimated, the true rule of reciprocity in stipulations of treaties is equal right, not equal advantage from each several stipulation.
The answer to this is that no right being relinquished on either side, no privilege granted, the stipulation amounting only to a recognition of a rule of the law of nations, to a promise to abstain from injustice and a breach of faith, there is no room for an argument about reciprocity further than to require that the promise should be mutual as in the case—This is the only equivalent which the nature of the subject demands or permits—It would be dishonorable to except a boon merely for an engagement to fulfil a moral obligation—Indeed, as heretofore intimated, the true rule of reciprocity in stipulations of treaties is equal right, not equal advantage from each several stipulation.
But it has been shewn, that the stipulation will be beneficial to us, by the confidence which it will give on the other side, obviating and avoiding the obstructions to trade, the injuries to and incumbrances upon credit, naturally incident to the distrust and apprehension, which after the question had been once moved, were to be expected—Here, if a compensation were required, there is one—Let me add as a truth, which perhaps has no exception, however uncongenial with the fashionable patriotic creed—that in the wise order of Providence, nations in a temporal sense may safely trust the maxim, that the observance of justice carries with it its own and a full reward.

It is also said, that having bound ourselves by treaty, we shall hereafter lose the credit of moderation which would attend a forbearance to exercise the right. But it having been demonstrated that no such right exists, we only renounce a claim to the negative merit of not committing injustice, and we acquire the positive praise of exhibiting a willingness to renounce explicitly a pretension which might be the instrument of oppression and fraud—It is always honourable to give proof of upright intention.

It is further said, that under the protection of this stipulation the King of Great-Britain, who has already speculated in our funds, (the assertors would be puzzled to bring proof of the fact) may engross the whole capital of the bank of the United States, and thereby secure the uncontrolled direction of it—that he may hold the stock in the name of his ambassador, or of some citizen of the United States, perhaps a Senator, who if of the virtuous twenty might be proud of the honour—that thus our citizens in time of peace might experience the mortification of being beholden to British Directors, for the accommodations they might want, that in time of war our operations might be cramped at the pleasure of his majesty and according as he should see fit or not to accommodate our government with loans—and that both in peace and war we may be reduced to the abject condition of having the whole capital of our national bank administered by his Britannic majesty.

The capital of the bank of the United States is ten millions of dollars, little short, at the present market price, of three millions of pounds sterling; but from the natural operation of such a demand in raising price, 'tis not probable that much less than four millions sterling would suffice to complete the monopoly. I have never understood, that the private purse of his Britannic majesty, if it be true as asserted, that he has already witnessed a result for speculation in our funds (a fact, however, from which it was natural to infer a more pacific disposition towards us) was so very ample as conveniently to spare an item of such size for a speculation across the Atlantic. But perhaps the national purse will be brought to his aid—As this supposes a parliamentary grant, new taxes and new loans, it does not seem to be a very manageable thing, without disclosure of the object, and if disclosed, so very unexampled an attempt of a foreign government would present a case completely out of the reach of all ordinary rules, justifying by the manifest danger to us even war and the confiscation of all that had been purchased. For let it be remembered, that the article does not protect the public property of a foreign government, prince, or state, independent of the observation just made, that such a case would be without the reach of ordinary rules. It may be added, that an attempt of this kind, from the force of the pecuniary capital of Great-Britain, would as a precedent threaten and alarm all nations. Would consequences like these be incurred?

But let it be supposed, that the inclination shall exist and that all difficulties about funds have been surmounted—Still to effect the plan there must be in all the stockholders a willingness to sell to the British King or his agents, as well as the will and means on his part to purchase. Here, too, some impediments might be experienced: There are persons who might choose to keep their property in the shape of bank stock, and live upon the income of it, whom price would not readily tempt to part with it. Besides, there is an additional obstacle to complete success:—The United States are themselves the proprietors of two millions of the bank stock.

Of two things, one, either the monopoly of his Britannic majesty would be known, (and it would be a pretty arduous task to keep it a secret especially if the stock was to stand as suggested in the name of his ambassador), or it would be unknown and concealed under unfeigned names: In the former supposition, the observations already made recur. There would be no protection to it from

If to avoid this, the plan should be to keep the operation unknown, the most effectual method would be to place the Stock in the names of our own citizens. This it seems would be attended with no difficulty; since even our senators would be ambitious of the honor; and if they should have qualms and fears, others more compliant could no doubt be found among the numerous Secretaries or Adherents of Great Britain in our Country: probably some of the patriots would not be inexorable if properly solicited. Or in the last resort persons might be lent from Great Britain to acquire naturalization for the express purpose.

In this supposition too, the article would be at the least innocent. For its provisions are entirely foreign to the case of Stock standing in the names of our own Citizens. It neither enlarges nor abridges the power of the Government in this respect.

Further how will the article work the miracle, of placing the Bank under the management of British Directors? It gives no new rights, no new qualifications.

The constitution of the Bank (section the 5th 7th of the act of Incorporation) has provided with fullitude these important guards, against foreign or other hostile influence—1. That none but a citizen of the United States shall be eligible as a director. II. That none but a stockholder actually resident within the United States, shall vote in the elections by proxy. III. That one fourth of the directors, who are to be elected annually, must every year go out of the direction. IV. That a director may at any time be removed and replaced by the stockholders at a general meeting. V. That a single share shall give one vote for directors while any number of shares, in the same person, co-partnership or body politic, will not give more than thirty votes.

Hence it is impossible, that the Bank can be in the management of British directors—A British subject being incapable of being a director. It is also next to impossible that an undue British influence could operate in the choice of directors, out of the number of our own citizens. The British King, or British subjects out of the United States, could not even have a vote by Attorney in the choice. Schemes of secret monopoly could not be executed, because they would be betrayed, unless the secret was confined to a small number. A small number, no one of whom could have more than thirty votes, would be easily overruled by the more numerous proprietors of single or a small number of shares; with the addition of the votes of the United States.

But here again it is to be remembered, that as to combination with our own citizens, in which they were to be ostensibly, for any pernicious foreign project—the article under consideration is perfectly nugatory—It can do neither good nor harm, since it merely relates, as to the exemption from confiscation and seizure on our part, to the known property of British subjects.

It follows, therefore, that the dangers portrayed to us from the speculating enterprises of his Britannic Majesty are the vagaries of an overheated imagination—or the contrivances of a spirit of deception—and that so far as they could be supposed to have the least colour, it turns upon circumstances, upon which the treaty can have no influence whatever. In taking pains to expose their futility, I have been principally led by the desire of making my fellow citizens sensible, in this instance as in others, of the extravagancies of the opposers of the treaty.

One artifice to render the article unacceptable has been to put cases of extreme misconduct, on the other side, of flagrant violations of the law of nations, of war, of justice, and of humanity; and to ask whether under such circumstances the confiscation or sequestration of debts, would not be justifiable—To this the answer is, that if circumstances so extraordinary should arise as, without the treaty, would warrant so extraordinary an act, they will equally warrant it under the treaty. For cases of this kind are exceptions to all general rules. They would excuse the violation of an express, or positive, as well as of a tacit or virtual pledge of the public faith; which describes the whole difference between the existence and non-existence of the article in question. They resemble those cases of extreme necessity (thro' excessive hunger for instance) which in the eye of the law of nature will excuse the taking of the property of another, or those cases of extreme abuse of authority of rulers, which amounting unequivocally to tyranny, are admitted to justify forcible resistance to the established authorities. Constitutions of government, laws, treaties, all give way to extremities of such a description—the point of obligation is to distinguish them with sincerity, and not to indulge our passions and interests in substituting pretended for real cases.

A writer, who disgraces by adopting the name of Cicero, makes a curious remark by way of objection. He affirms that the article is nugatory, because a treaty is dissolved by a state of war, in which state the provision is designed to operate. If this be true, the article is at least harmless, and the trouble of painting it in such terrific colour might have been spared. But it is not true. Reason, writers, the practice of all nations accord in this position, that those stipulations, which contemplate the state of war, in other words which are designed to operate in case of war, preserve their force and obligation when war takes place. To what end else all the stipulations which have been cited from so many treaties??

To overrate the value and force of our own arguments is a natural foible of self-love—to be convinced without convincing others is no uncommon fate of a writer or speaker—but I am more than ordinarily mistaken if every mind open to conviction will not have been satisfied by what has been offered—that the tenth article of the Treaty lately negotiated with Great Britain, does nothing but confirm by a positive agreement a rule of the law of nations—indicated by reason, supported by usage, dictated by justice and good faith, recognized by formal acts and declarations of different nations, witnessed by diplomatic testimony, sanctioned by our treaties with other countries, and by treaties between other countries—and conformable with sound policy and the true interests and the true interests of the United States.

The discussion has been drawn out to so great a length, because the objections to this article are amongst those which have been urged with the greatest warmth and emphasis against the treaty, and its vindication from them, if satisfactory, must go far towards securing to it the public suffrage. Citizens of America! 'tis for you to perform your part of the task, 'tis for you to weigh with candour the arguments which have been submitted to your judgments, to consult without bias the integrity of your hearts; to exile prejudice and to immolate on the altar of truth, the artifices of cabal and falsehood! There can then be no danger that patriotism will have to lament, or national honor to blush at, the sentence which you shall pronounce.

The articles, which adjust the matters of controversy between the two countries, all those which are permanent, have now been reviewed. Let me appeal to the consciences of those who have accompanied me in the review—if these articles were all that composed the treaty, would it be the better, that they should exist—or that all the sources of rupture and war with Great Britain should have survived the negotiation to extinguish them, and should still actually subsist in full vigour? If every enlightened and honest man must prefer the former—then let me make another observation and put another question. The remaining articles of the treaty, which constituting its commercial part, expire by their own limitation at the end of twelve years. It is in the power of either party consistently with the instrument to terminate them at the end of that period.

"Much has passed in review since I last wrote to you, all tending to open the eyes of the sleepy, and too credulous. Call to mind my friend the observation, the just observation made by yourself eighteen months ago, "If we were to relate to our fellow citizens all we know and have witnessed we should be acting imprudently towards ourselves; Those days of idolatry and implicit faith and confidence are fast passing away, even in the eastern states. Men now see, who would not see before. "Alas, how have we been deceived in Mr. H——." He and his faction have nearly ruined our country, and made a tool of our good P——. Such is the open language of men now, who were friends of funding and bank systems, to treasury influence, and implicit confidence. All this they might have been if they would have allowed themselves to see, long ago. Out of evil good oft cometh.—Had men, good and virtuous citizens, seen the certain consequence of Mr. H——'s measures sooner I had they allowed themselves to see that the P—— the government, the country; its welfare, peace, happiness, and honour were in the hands of a set of men, determined to make all yield to their aggrandizement and monopoly of power; had they seen this sooner much trouble might have been prevented. That a concourse is at hand I must believe, for these men have, in the monied, and part of the commercial interest, a strong party, leaving nothing undone to suppress and keep under the real voice of the great body of Yeomanry throughout the eastern and middle states. I trust, in this attempt they will be foiled. In my excursion thro' the eastern states, which was made for the purpose of fully satisfying myself; in whatever societies I mixed, and I made a point of mixing a good deal, and conversing with every intelligent man I met with, I found seven eighths of the people not only opposed to the treaty, but disgusted with the administration; firmly persuaded that they have been sacrificing the honor and best interests of the country. I had long conversations with intelligent and influential men and they, one and all, assured me that all the Eastern states (Connecticut excepted) were opposed to the treaty, and that system of intrigue and wicked policy that contrived it. I am at a loss for a rational cause for Connecticut's generally approving of the treaty, unless it is that a very few influential men, such as W——h direct their measures, the likings or dislikings of the state. I rode a good deal, up and down, through that state, and remained some time in it. I thought it struck me as the cause; things had too much that appearance. In Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, the efforts of the monied and of a part of the mercantile interest to keep under and suppress the general sentiment of disgust and dissatisfaction are as evident as the sun at noon-day; but I am assured that they will not be able to do it.

A quarrel and open breach has taken place between the President and Mr. Randolph. This breach is too wide ever to be closed. While I was writing this letter the latter called on me with the first proof-sheet of an intended publication. When it is out I will send it to you. By this quarrel much cabinet measures will be made public. The cause of the quarrel is an intercepted letter from Mr. Fauchet, the French Minister, to the Executive Council of France, in which report says there is an expression conveying some idea of Mr. Randolph having handled French money. This letter was sent by Lord Grenville to Mr. Hammond, and by him given to Mr. Wolcott, who delivered it to the President. He sent for Mr. Randolph, and, in the presence of Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Pickering treated him as he says, so indelicately that he instantly resigned the seal of office. Mr. Randolph avers total innocence. In the letter, I am told Governor M——n and Mr. D——s are implicated as having purposely promoted, with Mr. Randolph, the insurrection in the five western counties of this state. I am told there is much curious matter in the letter. Mr. Z. is mentioned in it as having assured Mr. Fauchet that the Atlantic states were opposed to the opening of the Mississippi though they pretend otherwise. I believe this intercepted letter and the consequence will disclose many cabinet secrets and what may be useful for the certain development of characters and cabinet measures.

You have doubtless seen or heard of the scandalous publications in a Boston Paper against the chief justice and an intended vindication said to be written by Mr. K——n, and a reply to the defence. I fear a cabal is forming to reject the appointment in Senate.

It is said and I believe it authentic, that the French are so highly irritated at the treaty, that the Americans are disgracefully situated in Paris.—The French government meant to assume a new line of conduct towards America; indeed they cannot be blamed for it? Why should they allow our provision vessels to go to England, while we tamely submit to let Britain capture those bound to France?

REMARKS ON THE ABOVE.
If, according to the opinions of some men, the people of the United States were fully impressed with a sense of their true interests, they would, in order to punish British perfidy, commit the management of their dearest concerns to British debters! That this description of persons have long viewed, with an evil eye, the pacific system adopted by the Executive, is a truth well known at this day—the foregoing letter may be considered as fully establishing the fact. It can be no mystery therefore, why the immoral man who contracts debts without the least intention of paying them, should differ in sentiment with Mr. Hamilton who has been justly called the restorer of public credit.

The attempt of the writer to give an air of consequence to Mr. Randolph's resignation, is truly laughable. We have seen men of the first respectability for talents and character resign their offices, without prejudice to the funds or exciting public commotions—and why we should dread any national calamity in consequence of Mr. R's relinquishing a situation he was never qualified to hold with reputation to himself, or the public, is submitted for explanation to the author of the letter in question. He would do well also to explain his motives for appealing to report on the subject of Mr. Fauchet's letter, when he has been, or might have been, a correct copy of it now in the possession of Mr. R.

If the writer was disposed to recollect the publications which appeared in the Charleston papers some years since, on the subject of Mr. Rutledge's conduct towards Capt. Thompson, for a supposed insult to his mulatto wench, and which publications were well received by the republican party at that time in Charleston, he would be compelled to acknowledge, that the judge has been very tenderly handled at Boston.

On Tuesday last the General Assembly of Vermont finished their session at Windsor. In the proceedings of their Constitutional representatives, the people expected calm discussion, sober investigation wise resolutions, and good laws—and they have not been disappointed.

A partial Convention of Bennington county, which met at Shaftsbury on September 30th, "resolved, without a dissenting voice, as the opinion of this convention, that the President's negotiating a treaty with the king of Great-Britain, without the previous advice and consent of the Senate, was contrary to the intent and meaning of the federal constitution."

"Resolved, nem. con. as the opinion of this convention, that the said treaty, viz. the pending treaty of amity and commerce between Great-Britain and the United States, is injurious to the interest, and derogatory to honor of the United States. That it is unconstitutional in a variety of instances, supercedes the authority of the legislative and judiciary departments of the said United States, apparently violates the rights of neutrality, clashes with previous existing treaties, and cannot, without violation of the dearest rights of the people, become the supreme law of the land."

None of the members of Bennington county took any public notice of these resolutions, or moved to have them brought before the legislature. The assembly paid no attention at all to the matter; and the resolves of those individuals remain only as records of an ill judged scheme to obtain power by means of popularity, happily rendered abortive by its own absurdity.

One good effect, however, has resulted from this attempt to procure a legislative censure of the conduct of the "first Magistrate of the American people." It has served to ascertain what the public sentiment is in this part of America, and what opinion the representatives of the people entertain of the federal constitution and government. The legislature of Vermont saw nothing in the treaty which required their animadversions; and they differed nothing in the proceedings of the President and Senate, of which they found it proper to express any complaint or disapprobation.

The merit, therefore, respecting public sentiment in this state, no longer rests on the opinion or representation of an individual, a town meeting, or a partial county convention. The legislature, the constitutional authority of Vermont, is decidedly against an interference with, or an opposition to the federal constitution and government, or to the proceedings of the President and Senate.

Mobs and riots are so odious in this state, that no man dare to mention them but with disapprobation: And we do not hear of any party that does not profess an attachment to constitutional authority and government.

On Saturday, Oct. 24. arrived at his house in this town, Col. John A. Graham. This gentleman was employed by the Protestant Episcopal Church in this state, to wait on the Rev. Dr. Peters at London, the gentleman whom they had elected for their bishop, and solicit his consecration. The archbishop of Canterbury did not esteem it consistent with the act of the British parliament to consecrate Dr. Peters himself, but has left the matter to be determined by the bishops of the Episcopal Church in America. The university of Aberdeen (Scotland) has conferred on Col. Graham the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.

The Conclusion of the Address to the French People.
Frenchmen and especially inhabitants of Paris, are you not at last weary and undeceived as to the intriguers who have so long led you astray! On the 31st of May, they made you erect with your own hands the scaffolds on which you were to perish by thousands. On that day, they made you forge with your own hands, the fetters with which tyranny has enchained you—on that day, they made you shut up all the sources of production, and a long series of virtue, wisdom and peace, is necessary to restore things to their usual channels.

Vengeance and civil war! a genius of the country, suffer not such honors to be renewed. Shall France be doomed to form one Vendee? There, towns have disappeared, and the remains of the inhabitants are almost everywhere reduced to miserable huts for shelter.
Vengeance and civil war! a genius of the country, suffer not such honors to be renewed. Shall France be doomed to form one Vendee? There, towns have disappeared, and the remains of the inhabitants are almost everywhere reduced to miserable huts for shelter.
Genius of the country, enlighten her children, open their minds to truth, and shut their hearts against vengeance; tell them that moderation, that virtue is not less necessary in Republics, than it is indispensable at the close of a Revolution; that without it Society is but a frightful assemblage of wild beasts. Tell them that those men who so easily obtain a shameful salary from a foreign power to destroy us, invoke the sovereignty of the people only to wrest it from them; they spread honey over the margin of the vessel, to render palatable the devouring poison of discord."

*A proper democratic trick. The people are forever gulled by demagogues who preach, the sovereignty of the people that is they spread honey over their own detectable designs, which are to get the sovereignty into their own hands. Greece and Rome were forever harassed with patriots, who would never rest, while any body had more authority than themselves. They were perpetually busy in raising jealousies at the best men, and often persuaded the people to banish their old Generals and Statesmen, without a crime—France is perpetually disturbed with the same mischievous people, and at times has been on the brink of ruin. It is just so in America. Among all the vile fellows that abuse the President and the administrators of the government, there is not a man that believes what he writes; but there are views of a private nature to be answered by such abuse, and the real leaders do not appear.

On Tuesday last arrived here, after a passage of 7 weeks, the schooner White Fish, built last summer at Presqu'Isle on Lake Erie. The tediousness of the voyage was owing to the inclemency of the weather. She is only 17 and 1-2 feet keel, and 5 feet 7 inches beam. This small vessel was built and navigated by two young men, citizens of the United States, born in the vicinity of this city; they had neither chart nor compass. Her departure was from Presqu'Isle, along Lake Erie, to the Falls of Niagara, 110 miles; thence by land, to the landing below the Falls, 10 miles; thence to the Garrison of Niagara, 7 miles; thence along the fourth coast of Lake Ontario, to the river Oswego, 140 miles; thence up the river Oswego to the Falls, 20 miles; thence by land round the Falls, 1 mile; thence up the same river to Three River Point, 12 miles; thence up the Straits leading to the Oneida Lake, 19 miles; thence through the Oneida Lake, 28 miles; thence up Wood Creek, 30 miles, to the landing between Wood Creek and the Mohawk river; thence by land, passing Fort Schuyler, formerly Fort Stanwix, 1 mile into the Mohawk river; thence down the Mohawk river, 60 miles to the Little Falls; thence round the Falls by land, 1 mile, to the landing; thence down the same river 60 miles, to the Schoenely; thence by land, 16 miles, to Albany; thence down the river Hudson, 120 miles, to the city of New-York; thence by sea, 130 miles to the Capes of the Delaware river; thence up the Delaware to this city, 120 miles—making in all, nine hundred and forty-seven miles.

Captain Williams of the schooner Susannah, from Martha's Vineyard, informs that the schooner Eagle, Dewar, belonging to this port, lay at Montego Bay. Off Cape Antoine, spoke the sloop Polly, of Newbern, bound to Philadelphia from Port-au-Prince, out 35 days. Spoke the brig Huldah, Capt. Hayes, from New Orleans, bound to New-York. Between Capes Antoine and Coriades, Capt. Williams was boarded by a French privateer, called the Republican, Capt. Gardin who ordered Capt. Williams on board with all his papers, and sent a boat with a number of armed men on board the Susannah, who broke open her hatches, and took out a puncheon of Rum, a Turtle, and several small articles; for which Capt. Williams received a receipt, he said, drawn on his employer in Charleston, but had no agents name mentioned.

Forty Dollars Reward.
Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, living at Mordington Mills, near Frederick, in Kent county, state of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a slave negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great Roven in his dress; has naturally a condemned and surly countenance, altho' he at times affects a smiling one; his visage is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red: It is not recollected whether he has any particular birth-marks, except on his back, where may be seen (tho' light) the initials of the whip, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, stealing, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him. He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, tho' his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them—should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there.
