THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, having his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD—AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT;
Or implicitly declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD!!!
TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
The well written and serious Essay, with the signature of "A Baptish," has been received, and read with satisfaction. Nothing, but the throng and press of our communications, has prevented its insertion. The author may rely on our attention to his favor.
Duane promised, long since, to say something about several thousand dollars , belonging to the United States, in the hands of P. Edwards, Attorney of the United States, for the District of Connecticut. Pray, Duane, do you omit mentioning the subject, because Edwards has become an ardent Jacobin?—Do you consider plunder as lawful in such a wretch of a Democrat, or these monies as being to be accounted for to Thomas Jefferson & Aaron Burr?

AS I am still as much at variance with my quondam friend Tom the Tinker as ever, I was glad to see your answer in the Philadelphia Gazette, to Tom's attempt at an epigram in the following lines, which to the disgrace of the press have run through most of the papers of the continent.
Says Duane to Coxe, Sir, you were the Fox, That led us both into this trouble, When stating the amounts Of our bundling accounts By Jove you were drunk and saw double.
This was done like yourself, and you have now only one thing more to do, to silence Tom forever. Pray do away the foolish verse which he made for you at the Club by denying the truth of its contents, and then we shall have the Dog completely under the hatchway.
First I let to Washington, Then crossing o'er to Blore Sir, I figured in with Hamilton And with HIS HONOR now Sir.
After this we will obtain a law to prevent the little rascally brats of Children from fingering it about the streets, and then O how poor Tom will be mortified.
Yours as much as ever, The Chirping Cocker.

CASING my eyes over the paper a few days since, I discovered a Proclamation inviting each child of Parnassus to state his claim to the Laurels. Having, (Israel-like,) been long in search of an office, and not having stolen certificates, nor been convicted of theft, I had slender expectations of obtaining one by a personal application to a Great Man,—I was of course delighted with the opportunity which this proclamation offered.
"And though an humble votary of the Muses," I have determined as my last resource "To tell a tender Tale in Rhyme"
relying on the known and acknowledged mercy, justice and humanity of a great man to overlook the errors of this poetical effusion by considering the greatness of the attempt. The subject I have chosen and the style I have adopted, bear some resemblance to the following pathetic ditty,
Where'er with haggard eyes I view This dungeon that I'm rotting in, I think of those companions true Who studied with me at the U- niversity of Göttingen, University of Göttingen."
His Excellency will surely not censure me for having adopted a model for my effusion, nor will expect, that my style and manner should be original; for altho' his Excellency in HIS administration has formed to himself no model (that I know of,) but has boldly acted on an original plan, yet he will reflect, that few minds are formed like his, equally great in the formation of original plans, and bold in their execution.

In one corner appears a face with spectacles, on which there is a perpetual and ghastly smile; this countenance appears as tho' it might have been Newgate. Duane sitting in a melancholy attitude by a table, on which lie Paine's Age of Reason, Volney's Ruins, Abela's Letters to Eloisa, and the accomplished letter writer; his right arm rests on the table; his left hand grasps a quill, by which he was nominated the successor and appointed to perform the business of B. F. B. On one side appears a door which opens into an entry; this entry leads to a parlour where the object of his adoration is at work. Duane throws his head back, strikes it violently with his left hand, and in a plaintive tone sings;
Where'er with love-struck eyes I view, This room where freedom first drew breath, I think of thee my widow'd true, And him who left thee late for Plu- to's dark and dreary shades of death, to's dark and dreary shades of death.
Alas! my love, my sweetest Jew- el, as at work thou draw'st thy breath, Thou swallow'st many a sigh of Du- ane, as complaining of thy cru- elty, he journeys fast tow'r Plu- to's dark and dreary shades of death, to's dark, &c.

If you will listen to me thro' This Hole, I'll waste my Irish breath, In telling how that I'll be true, How pleasd' thy Benny's trade pursue, Till time shall send me down to Plu- to's dark and dreary shades of death, to's dark, &c.

MR. WAYNE.
If you thing the following dialogue worthy of a place in your excellent paper, please to publish it, and oblige A Citizen of West-Jersey.
JACOBINISM ILLUSTRATED;
A Dialogue Between General B— and his friend.
Friend. SAY, Bloomfield, say, why art thou folly's slave?
Why in the dens of faction dost thou rave?
Bloomfield. The fiend ambition has my soul possessed, And all the Jacobins in my breast. On Howell's downfal gladly would I rise; The means regard not, for I gain'd the prize.
Friend. But why recur to falsehood's dirty ways, And shun the road which leads to honest praise?
Bloomfield. The path of truth I've trod too long in vain, And honest fame have long despair'd to gain.
Friend. The popular favours hast thou sought with care?
And prov'd thy merit by thy courteous air?
Bloomfield. Far more than this: I've vear'd with ev'ry wind,
With churchmen worshipp'd, and with sinners sinn'd, Chang'd with opinions, swam the downward tide,
And bows, and kisses, gifts, and cringes try'd,
Bloomfield* will vouch, how nobly I repay, Processions made, my glory to display. But yet, I've fail'd a fav'rite goal to reach, And Slab-Town's rostrum bounds my gift of speech.
Friend. Perhaps the people think thee void of sense, And quite unfit for public confidence.
Bloomfield. To worth and talents envious fools are blind, My speeches flew my shrew'd, capacious mind.
My Martial feats, my abolition-schemes, And skill in Masonry, refute such dreams. Have I not trod the splendid fields of war, And been a Spectacle at Jerley's bar?
Friend. But, Bloomfield, say, why didst thou draw thy sword
Against thy brethren of the Whiskey-horde? Did they do more than call their rulers, fires?
And, like thee, rise the government to oppose?
Bloomfield. 'Twas popular then to check sedition's growth Beside, I fear'd to violate my oath. 'Twas flattering also, Jerley's sons to lead; I fought the honour, right, or wrong, the dead.
Fir'd with the hope that this would place my name
On Congress' list; and raise me high in fame; I clamour'd loud 'gainst Gallatin and Co. And call'd each Whiskey-Boy a deadly foe.
*A village in East-Jersey, at which a judicious procession was made in honour of this political weather-cock.
† A feat in Congress.
‡ Oath of allegiance.
Friend.
One solemn question more, and then I've done.
How dost thou hope the public wrath to shun, When by thy wiles, the reftless and the bale Have plun'd the State in discord and disgrace:
Have rent the charter, which our rights secure, And ting'd America with human gore?
Bloomfield.
If all these ills from my pursuits should flow, The State, not I, must answer for the woe. In Congress seated, had I been their choice, For honour's cause I should have rais'd my voice.
But found by gross neglect, I've quit my friends,
And seek in faction to obtain my ends.
Better like Erostratus gain a name.
However base, than sink unknown to fame.
Better to die the object of disgrace, Than longer live devoid of power and place.
§ The incendiary who burnt the temple of Diana at Ephesus, that his name might be han- ded down to posterity.
For the Gazette of the United States.
—No. I.—
The care of this great nation is upon my mind and occasions me much anxiety and alarm.
AT a time when the melancholy truth has become indubitably evident, that French politics and philosophy are gaining great ascendancy over the minds of a portion of our deceiv'd fellow citizens; when the spi- rit of faction is becoming more and more prevalent and the seeds of discord are fast springing up among us; it behoves every man who has the welfare of his country at heart, and who does not desire to behold the overthrow and destruction of our present virtuous government, to come forward and exert his efforts (however feeble) to avert that blow, which will ere long be struck at our constitution, our liberties, and our na- tional happiness.
The discontents which have been fown with such industrious malignancy among our deluded countrymen, render every exertion necessary, to disabuse all those, whose en- joyment of the unexampled blessings which America has long afforded them, has been transformed into a sour spirit of dissatisfac- tion, by the most unblushing misstatements, and the falsest theories.
To conjure up fictitious grounds of com- plaint in the bosoms of those who confess themselves happy and content; to enervate the principles and spirit upon which our government was originally established; to introduce into our country French systems, succeeded by a lengthened train of revolu- tions, insurrections and massacres, in short to affect a total su- version of the American government, are the manifest intentions of that party, who have long annoyed our country with extravagant and threatening theories, which if reduced to practice would be attended with the most serious and awful consequences. Unless their views are fru- strated, unless their base endeavours are pre- vented, we shall ere long, be necessitated to become spectators of those horrid scenes, to which we have only (thank God) been distant witnesses, we shall behold our coun- try immersed in blood and carnage, our con- stitution and liberties trampled under foot, and our families and property wretched from us by the hands of blood-thirsty and mer- ciless ruffians. That this is no exaggerated description, let us turn our eyes for a mo- ment, to that revolution which has deluged all Europe in blood, and which has been effected by the infernal schemes of a de- tachment (if I may be allowed the expres- sion) of the same party who now seek to un- do our government. What do we there behold? scenes which at the bare re- cital thrill the soul of every man whose heart is not of Adamant; unexampled fan- aticism (if so mild a term can be used) which has marked so many thresholds with blood, which has been so fruitful in cold massacres, and street butcheries, which has dictated a lengthened series of cruelty, wonderful for the unanimity with which it was character- ised, and the spirit of deliberation with which it continued, and to finish the view, which has ended in no one establishment which promises any continuance, but which may be truly said to have produced from a good and virtuous government, an "Em- pire of Nothing."
If we subject to the left examination, the actions of that party who now infest America, we shall quickly per- ceive, that they are founded upon princi- ples, and actuated by motives precisely the same with those who were the leaders and instigators of the French revolution. Their views on America are only one link, in the chain of unbounded ambition. If therefore the evil be not speedily removed, the con- sequences must inevitably prove fatal. Most assuredly then, it is the duty, as well as interest, of every good citizen, to come forward and endeavour to divert the threatening storm which is o'erclouding our political horizon; to expose to the view of infatuated and deluded men, the illicit means by which they have been be- guiled into the wrong political path, and to tear away that cursed mask of hypocrisy, with which the Jacobin party have endeav- oured to conceal their actions, and to veer themselves in their vile artifices and atrocious calumnies. Actuated by these serious considerations, I shall in subse- quent numbers pursue a proposed plan, which it tends to the reformation of one political sinners, will be to me a source of much hap- piness.

NEW-YORK, October 9.
SHIP-WRECK.
Capt Atkins of the brig John, sail'd from Lisbon the 10th of August bound for Philadelphia. On the 15th of Aug. fell in with the ship Orion, Bunker of and for New- York from St. Ubes having on board Mr. Gibson, wife and 2 children as passengers and the vessel laden with salt—capt Bunker informed capt. Atkins that his vessel had started a butt and the leak increased very fast; shortly after capt. B. and all hands left the Orion and went part on board capt. Atkins's vessel and part on board of a brig bound for Newburyport.
Nothing material occurred till the 15th of September when laying too under a dou- ble reefed main sail and single reefed main stay sail, the wind blowing very hard from S. E. W. with a heavy sea running, a most tremendous sea struck the John, and imme- diately separated her; after recovering him- self capt. Atkins found he was on part of the main deck having about 20 fathoms rope fastened thereto the greater part of the crew were seen on various parts of the wreck floating about at the mercy of the wind and waves, about Bunker and one boy, and two boys belonging to capt. Atkins lashed themselves to the deck and the next mor- ning could discover none of the crew.
The next day fell in with the passenger Mr. Gibson, who was floating on a part of the wreck, and who joined them imme- diately. Seven days and seven nights, did these unfortunate people continue in this dreadful situation, a prey to starvation and misery, to the chances of the ocean, and subsisting on nothing, save their own urine! Hope now cheered them and almost exhaus- sed, they were taken up by a Schooner from Portland to Berbee, and 2 days subsequent, fell in with the ship George, Rice, of and for Philadelphia from Hull, who kindly took them on board all except one boy, who went to Berbee in the schr. Four days be- fore capt. Rice made the Capes, capt. Bur- ker and Mr. Gibson passenger with on board the ship America, bound for New-York from Liverpool—among the unhappy suf- ferers, most fear is entertained for the safety of Mrs. Gibson and 2 children and the mate of the brig. Out of 18 souls on board, only the above 6 have yet been heard of.
RALEIGH, September 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wil- mington to the Editor, dated September 17.
"I do seriously and solemnly con- sider the app-ehending struggle for predom- inance, a tremendous era in the politics of our country; and as such, it fills me with sadness and despondency. The public safety or the public welfare is not at the present juncture as it has been, the fickle- ness of popular heat and agitation. The great question, now, with me a question full of terrors, is, whether we will yield without an effort to resist, or what is tantamount, whether we will acquiesce through indolence of exertion and lassitude of spirit, in the ascen- dancy of an unprincipled faction, whose ex- asperated malignity and whose lawless vio- lence will crush all opposition, and demolish every obstacle to the gratification of their ambition, their avarice and their revenge.
"Party with us has latterly exhibited more of the aspect of system than I have ever before observed, and I think be- ing gradually to unfold some portion of the lig- otry, the vehemence and asperity of more turbulent seasons. What the exact polit- ical type of the district is, cannot perhaps at this time be precisely ascertained. Little doubt however, is entertained that a very respectable majority will range under the federal standard at the ensuing election, notwithstanding the insidious attempt of a Ja- cobin Club in an adjacent district to create a di- vision of the forces of the friends of order and liberty.

Yesterday the brig Commerce, Bowers, anchored at Fort Johnson, from St. Mar- tin's; where she had been carried in by a French Privateer.
The D-ship captain Wallace, for this port, sail'd from Gravesend on the 20th of July.
Capt. Rogers, of the Schooner Hiram, which arrived yesterday from New-York, informs, that on the evening of Sunday, the 14th inst being then between the Capes of Virginia and Hatteras, a gale of wind came on from northward and eastward, and after- wards changed to the northwest, which la- sted until the Tuesday following, ten o'clock, He represents it as one of the most tremen- dous he ever experienced. The whole of his lower sails were split to pieces, and he thought his only safe way would be in endeav- ouring to reach the Bahamas.
On the 17th being then in lat 34 1-2, long 72 he fell in with a Swedish brig hoom- ing in tow the brig Eliza, Bunker, from Savannah bound to New-York, 20 days out. In the above-mentioned gale, capt Bunker had been entirely dismasted, lost two men overboard, one hundred bales of cotton, and all his water off the deck. Capt Rogers supplied him with beef, bread, and other stores, which he was destitute of. The Swedish brig was bound to Norfolk, where he intended to take the Eliza, if the wea- ther would admit of his keeping her in tow.

Some of the inhabitants having begun to remove into Baltimore, the Board of Health have cautioned them against being in too great haste, and observe, that some few cases of the Fever occur daily.
A letter from Charleston, S. C. received in Boston, dated the 14th ult. (one day later than the report of an insurrection having taken place there) is perfectly silent upon that subject; it contains however the following pleasing extract: "We have (unexpectedly) good news from Georgia, it is pretty certain Mr. Jefferson will not get the votes from that state; this is not light rumour, but solid foundation—in this state I am sanguine we shall do justice to the federal cause."
A letter from Plymouth to a gentleman in Boston, says, "Arrived this evening, Sch. Sally Barlett, from Dominica. Capt. B. confirms the New-York account of the French having taken GUARACOA, and MASSACREING the Americans, particularly Capt. Hiller, of the Pickering, his officers and crew."
Extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated August 15.
"Every ship passing Altona is now boarded by a Danish officer. Two days ago an English ship was hailed, and returning an inoffensive answer, the mate and another person were taken out and flogged so severely that the mate's life is despaired of. The merchants at Altona have voluntarily embargoed their vessels till the present dispute with England is adjusted."

TO THE PUBLIC.
IT seems to be the lot of our Independence that the French never will let us alone to exercise and enjoy it. They tampered with old Doctor Franklin, and coaxed and wheedled him till they got him willing to accept a scrap of it for the country—a little dirty scrap, for the terms would have been such as to keep us poor and dependent on France. It was her fly policy to let Britain hold the Western Territory, as that would keep the United States afraid of the English, and often at loggerheads with them. We were to be denied the fishery, that silver mine of New-England, where every Cod-Fish swims with half a pistareen in his mouth, that nursery of seamen, our naval militia, that is destined to defend our commerce against either France or Britain. The true patriots Jay and Adams, whom neitherattery nor gold could buy, spurned at the idea and insisted on independence absolute and unlimited first, and then on the Western Territory and the Fisheries. They prevailed; but France saw in our weakness and distentions after the peace, the means of making us her colonies. Accordingly, she fomented by her emissaries, (of whom she had some mentioned in the town of Boston) all the discontentments that the confusions and distresses of the war so naturally left to ferment in the first period of peace. It is known that the French Minister made the most he could of the clamour about the commutation to the army, and that he was even heard to say, that certain members of the old Congress who voted for it, would be turned out, and that certain persons would be their successors. So in fact it happened.
It is also remarkable that when our many sufferings and fears led the people to adopt the new Constitution, every Frenchman, and every man in any connection with or dependence on the French agents in this country was anti-federal. If the French monarchy had stood, it would have manifested the same spirit with the Republic, to meddle with our politics, though it is probable the forms of decency would have been rather more carefully observed. But it is the character of the interest, & unchanging policy of France, to attempt to acquire and to exercise a controlling influence in our affairs. Our weakness, our animosities against G. Britain, and our divisions and parties, afforded to her "diplomatic skill," the temptations and the means to effect this design. No matter who rules in France, whether king or mob, it is alike her plan and her pursuit to stir up a faction here, and to raise that faction up to control the government. Thus she expects to wound and weaken Great Britain in her
trade, thus she expects to procure supplies and protection to the ever defenceless French Islands. Accordingly, Genet came here with war instructions in his pocket, and lying prostration of peace on his lips. When coaxing & blustering and stirring up mobs in all our sea-ports, had been tried with an unexpected bad success, Mr. Adet published his blunderbuss note full of sophistry, lies and impudence on the very week before election of electors in Philadelphia. Then it was said by all the Jacobins, and by many who have been heartily ashamed of it since, that France was displeased with us on account of the British treaty, and that we must choose a President who would have an influence with the Directory, and who would be able to avert a war.
Shameful as these ideas are, they worked like hidden poisons, and certainly turned some hundreds of votes to the Jacobin ticket. Some hundreds more were gained by openly marching a rabble of Frenchmen, sailors and wretches without property, principle or country, to the Election ground in the Liberties of Philadelphia. This was done while the French flag waved over the shabby procession. It is well known that the election in Pennsylvania was turned against the federalists by a few hundreds only. Thus in fact France very nearly chose a President, or as the 15 votes of that state would have prevented Mr. Adams from being chosen, had not luckily one in Virginia and one in North Carolina unexpectedly turned the scale, and saved the country.
Now it seems that the same game is believed by the fly Talleyrand to be worth playing over again, and with better skill and more caution, to avoid the blunders of the last. It is for that reason, we are told that the negotiation is broken off on account of the British treaty, and this was intended to be announced here at the very crisis of the election.
It is cunning, but it is detected cunning, thus to time, and thus to frame the reasons for breaking off the negotiation. It is evident King Buonaparte thinks it wiser to bestow his real friendship on a Jacobin Chief, than on President Adams. It is evident that he expects a state of hostility will work the desired change in the chief magistracy of the United States. It is equally clear that he calculates that it is cheaper too, to wait till we have a First Consul on the 4th March next, than to negotiate and promise compensation for captures, as if a Jacobin President should then come in France can have no need to make even promises, light as she makes them, to pay money or redress our injuries. So far from obligating herself to pay a farthing, she rather expects the Chief Consul of the American Republic, one, free, indivisible, (though divided) and dependant like her Cisalpine sister, would nominate in March next, and before the end of March would send Citizen Munroe on a new mission, to assure King Equality, that we consider the sacrifices we make with France, as made for the cause of liberty, as part payment of the debt of gratitude, and a proof, as well as a new cement of the affectionate ties that bind us to our sister France. This is only saying over again Munroe's very words. And Buonaparte will reply as before, that Citizen Munroe carried with him when he left Paris, the regret of that nation, and that he fears to speak of our government, altho' he repeats Barras's tender professions of regard for the American people. Then the Citizen could offer to make loans to France for the cause of liberty.
After a retropect of the scandalous facts, is it incredible that in case of a Jacobin Presidency such would be the mission, and such the envoy. His file and sentiments are too remarkable to be forgotten. What then has this nation to do, but to assert that Independence which has been so incessantly disturbed and usurped by France, and to convince her, that her favor is fatal in the opinion of our citizens to any candidate. Let the people mark the men who are tools to her, let none such be Electors.

DOVER, SEPTEMBER 19, 1800.
MR. WAYNE, AS your paper has a more extensive circulation through this State, than any other, I wish to contradict a Jacobin lie which is gaining ground. They say, that the Methodists who form a very large proportion for the Federal interest of Kent county, intend to drop the Honourable James A. Bayard at the next election. I can with boldness contradict the mischievous and ill-founded untruth, and say, that, there is not twenty voters, of that society, in the county, who will not support him with all their influence. The following is the Methodist Ticket.
