Republicans in Congress had at their last session by a large majority agreed to recommend Mr. Clinton as Vice President, and that any attempt in the state of Kentucky to counteract that measure, would not only have a tendency to divide the republican interest as to enable the federalists to elect a Vice President, but would very much weaken the influence of the state of Kentucky in the councils of the Union, as well as operate much to the injury of your present popularity." In consequence of this opinion Charles Bradford declined giving the piece a place in the Kentucky Gazette, until the return of his brother. On Saturday, the piece was withdrawn and deposited (as I am informed) in the office of the Independent Gazetteer, from whence it will appear on Friday next.
Presuming that you have no knowledge that such a publication is intended, have thought it my duty to give the above information."
Yours respectfully JNO. BRADFORD.
"Fno. Breckinridge Esq." Fayette."
This being the first intimation I had on the subject, I went the next day or the day after to Capt. Stevenson to counteract the measure, but was informed by his father that he had gone from home, and I think to Harrison. With the Editor of the Independent Gazetteer I had no acquaintance—I was not even a subscriber to his paper, and very seldom saw any of his papers. In short I considered such a publication as described in Mr. Bradford's letter, as so unlikely to produce any ill effects on the election of Mr. Clinton as scarcely to merit notice; altho' I had seen Capt. Stevenson, I should certainly, for my own sake, (to whom alone, it was evident the publication could be injurious,) insist on its suppression.
Indisposition prevented me on Monday and Tuesday from attending the Federal Court in Frankfort on those days as I had appointed. I did not get there till Wednesday evening (4th of July) and on Thursday morning for the first time I met with the "True Republican," in the office of Mr. Hunter; finding it to be a piece of very different cast and import, to what I apprehended from Mr. Bradford's letter; and finding from Mr. Hunter that other pieces on the same subject were intended to be published; and upon being informed by Mr. Hunter, that the piece was in such forwardness for publication that he had not then time to exclude it as I requested him, and to furnish other matter, I delivered to him a note, and sent another to Mr. Bradford disavowing any pretensions to the office; both of which were dated the 5th of July and published in the papers of the 7th and 10th inst.
I will pursue but an observation more, on the certificate of Mr. Flournoy. Admitting I had been deprived of the testimony of Capt. Stevenson, sufficient appears even from the certificate of Mr. Flournoy, to satisfy any reasonable man that I was totally ignorant of the steps taken by Capt. Stevenson, as the uniform tenor of my opinion and conduct were in opposition to them. It is known to those who are well acquainted with Mr. Flournoy and myself that we are neighbours, and that a friendship and intimacy have subsisted between us for many years. Is it not strange then, if I had any views towards the vice presidency, that in the three several full and free conversations which I had with him (in all of which this subject was mentioned) two of them at my own house and one the last week in June, the very time when Daniel Bradford suspects I was promoting the publication of the "True Republican," I should not with so many fair opportunities, have hinted to him, any such views, but on the contrary have disapproved of any divisions among the Republicans, and recommended an united effort in favour of Mr. Clinton? To all my friends who have conversed with me, freely on the same subject I can safely appeal, for a declaration of similar sentiments.
JOHN BRECKINRIDGE. July 13th, 1804.
Mr. Breckinridge has attributed the part I have taken respecting the publication of the "True Republican," to personal motives; thereby endeavouring to turn the current of enquiry from his conduct, to the cause of mine. I declare I had no feelings unfriendly to Mr. Breckinridge, which I wished to gratify, prior to the receipt of the piece; nor had I any knowledge of a single circumstance which could induce him to conceive I had. If any such within his knowledge, can justify his suspicion to the contrary, he will no doubt make it publick, when due attention shall be paid to it. His attempt to thwart the views of the republicans, is not my cause alone, but that of my fellow citizens in general; and if their good sense should not declare him guilty, he stands acquitted. But he may be assured, that no intimation that I am actuated by personal dislike, will induce me to give up the ground I have taken—no threat to "expose the true cause" of my publication, shall awe me into silence. Nothing but his apparent innocence shall make me renounce the opinion I have formed. I know that his genius and talents are far superior to mine; and without the aid of truth, my attempts would prove impotent, were I disposed to injure him.
In the last Gazette I stated, that the "True Republican" was presented for publication early in June, and related a part of the conversation that took place. Capt. William Stevenson was the man who forwarded it, and who informed me, that he was authorised to say, that Mr. Breckinridge would withdraw all pretensions, if the constitution should not be amended. This conversation caused the first suspicion of his intrigue. I had long viewed Mr. Breckinridge as ambitious, and in this belief I was not singular. But Capt. Stevenson's expressions not being sufficient to convince me of Mr. Breckinridge's apostasy, so far from my attempting to injure him, I did not mention the circumstance to my most confidential friends—my father did not know that the piece had been presented. When I returned to Lexington on the evening of the 26th June, my father informed me of the piece having been again presented, and of the steps he had taken; and not until then, did any person know from me, that I had ever seen it. I acknowledge I felt irritated at the attempt made to impose the piece on a youth without experience in the duties and difficulties of an editor; and did view it as designed to take advantage of my absence to palm it on him—For when the ostensible author discovered that it would not be published until my return, which would be in a very few days, he withdrew it.
The measures taken by my father are shewn in Mr. Breckinridge's own statement. I shall however observe that the letter was delivered to Mr. Breckinridge on the 26th June, in the court house in Lexington; and yet he never called on the writer, or paid any attention to it whatever, although he was also in town the day following.
Mr. Breckinridge has rested his vindication on the four following points:
1. That the first intimation he had on the subject was the letter from my father. 2. That the piece as described in that letter, was so unlikely to produce any ill effects, as scarcely to merit notice. 3. That as soon as he had knowledge of the import of the piece, he wrote the note disavowing any pretensions to the vice presidency. 4. That to all his friends with whom he had conversed on the subject of the election, he had disapproved of any divisions among the republicans, and recommended an united effort in favour of Mr. Clinton.
How far those points are supported, must be determined by the impartial publick.
Capt. Stevenson says, "Mr. Breckinridge had not the most distant hint or suggestion from me, or from any person by my direction, that the said piece was written or intended to be written or published." Capt. Stevenson dare not deny, (if he does it shall be proved) that he did show and read the piece to several of Mr. Breckinridge's warmest and most intimate friends, more than ten days before its publication—The publick can therefore judge as to the probability whether or not Mr. Breckinridge knew of it prior the receipt of my father's letter.
Whether the letter from my father, and the piece described therein, are "of very different cast and import," as stated by Mr. Breckinridge, can be easily ascertained by a comparison, as they are now both before the publick.
Capt. William Stevenson proves, that he never heard Mr. Breckinridge say, that he was, or wished to be a candidate—that he never authorised or directed him to inform any person that he was; but that he did say, that "had he been selected as the person to be run as V. president, and the amendment to the constitution had been rejected, he would have withdrawn his name, as the federalists, by voting for the republican V. president, might and would have defeated the election of Mr. Jefferson."
Mr. Thomas Stevenson proves, that with considerable warmth and dissatisfaction, Mr. Breckinridge opposed the idea of his being voted for, and said, that as Mr. Clinton had been pitched upon by the republicans, he should not lose a vote on his account.
Mr. Flournoy proves, that Mr. Breckinridge, in three conversations with him, expressed nothing like a wish or intention to become a candidate; but appeared perfectly satisfied with the choice the republicans had made of Mr. Clinton, and said it would not be right for the electors to vote for himself, for it would only tend to divide the republican interest, which ought by no means to be suffered.
It all proves, that if Mr. Breckinridge had been nominated instead of Mr. Clinton, he would have declined unless the constitution should be amended; yet, that Mr. Clinton must be supported!—that Mr. Jefferson might lose his election by Mr. Breckinridge's being run as vice president; yet, that it would be highly improper, under the circumstances, to divide the republicans, but all their support ought to be given to Mr. Clinton! If supporting Mr. Breckinridge as vice president (admitting him to have been selected for that office) would have defeated the election of Mr. Jefferson, would not the support of Gen. Clinton equally defeat it? The amendment to the constitution was not ratified, nor was there a probability that it would be—The rege-
neration of New-Hampshire was not known—the governor of Tennessee had neglected to call the legislature, and from the publications in the news papers of that state, it was generally believed he would not convene them, and without the assent of Tennessee, all hopes of the ratification vanished.
Now, fellow citizens, you must determine, which is the most probable, that Mr. Breckinridge should be so inconsistent, as to be warm in the support of Mr. Clinton, and yet to declare, that were he in the same situation, he would decline; or that Capt. Stevenson, knowing that he did inform me, that he was authorised to say, that Mr. Breckinridge would decline, unless the constitution should be amended, has introduced the expressions into his certificate, to induce a belief that I had misunderstood him.
Agreeably to Mr. Thomas Stevenson's certificate, he delivered Magruder's letter to Mr. Breckinridge, on Sunday, the first of July, when he informed him, that "a publication had appeared in the news papers holding him up as vice president, in opposition to Mr. Clinton; at which information he expressed considerable warmth and dissatisfaction."
Mr. Magruder, in his letter to Mr. Breckinridge, informs him, that the piece "would evidently tend to injure his own popularity, destroy the good reputation of the state of Kentucky, and to divide the republican interests in the United States."
What better information could any man of Mr. Breckinridge's penetration require, to discover the "cast and import" of the piece? Is it not strange, that his sensibility could not be so far excited from this information, as to induce him to send for a paper when he sent the answer to Mr. Magruder's letter? or, was he determined to pay no attention to any information he received, until his friends should "deem it necessary,"—until he had sounded the publick opinion on the subject? How far the latter was the case, the reader can judge, when he recollects that the morning after the fourth of July, Mr. Breckinridge, thought proper to call at the office of Mr. Hunter, and not only see the "True Republican," but also leave him a note, and forward another to me. Fellow citizens, read, and judge for yourselves.
Although Mr. Breckinridge has not denied the receipt of Mr. Magruder's letter earlier than the first of July, yet he has introduced certificates, to prove it:
Mr. Magruder proves, that the letter was given to Capt. Stevenson on the 25th or 26th of June, [I say it was Monday the 25th.]
Capt. Stevenson proves that he received the letter and left it with his father.
Mr. Thomas Stevenson proves that he delivered the letter to Mr. Breckinridge on Sunday the 1st of July. He also proves that Mr. Breckinridge called at his house the last week in June, and enquired for Capt. Wm. Stevenson, who was gone from home, perhaps to Harrison.
From Mr. Breckinridge's own statement it appears that he received my father's letter on the 25th or 26th of June, [I say the 26th.] and the next day or the day after, went to see Capt. Stevenson, who was not at home; but that he did see Thomas Stevenson.
Now what does it all prove?—That Mr. Breckinridge did receive my father's letter—that in consequence of that letter, he went one or two days after to see Capt. Stevenson who was from home—that he did see Thomas Stevenson who had at that time the letter to him from Magruder, but that Thos. Stevenson did not give him the letter then, but waited until Sunday, the first day of July, before he delivered it! Will this be believed? Can any
person who knows Thomas Stevenson, believe it?
"Admitting" says Mr. Breckinridge "I had been deprived of the testimony of Capt. Stevenson, (for he appears to know what credit ought to be attached to it, therefore had it confirmed with an oath) sufficient appears, even from the certificate of Mr. Flournoy, to satisfy any reasonable man, that I was totally ignorant of the steps taken by Capt. Stevenson, as the uniform tenor of my opinion and conduct, were in opposition to them."
Let us examine how far Mr. Flournoy's certificate proves him "totally ignorant of the steps taken by Capt. Stevenson?" Mr. Breckinridge states, that Mr. Flournoy and himself are neighbours, and that a friendship and intimacy have subsisted between them for many years—tells us that a conversation took place at his own house, the last week in June, and asks, whether it is not strange, that with so many fair opportunities, he should not have hinted his views to Mr. Flournoy? I will ask, would it not have been strange, after many year's acquaintance and intimacy with Mr. Flournoy—after he had discovered him to be a man of firmness and independence—after he knew the extent of Mr. Flournoy's political information—I say, would it not have been strange indeed, if Mr. Breckinridge had laid open his schemes to a man of this description? But I assert, and he has acknowledged, that the last week in June, the time when one of the conversations took place, he was not "totally ignorant of the steps taken by Capt. Stevenson."
To all my friends who have conversed with me freely on the same subject, (says Mr. Breckinridge) I can safely appeal, for a declaration of similar sentiments." To all those with whom he has conversed, he has not declared similar sentiments. In a conversation he had with a gentleman of respectability, and a candidate for the office of elector, he did say, in substance, "if we can get that great man Thomas Jefferson for president, it is of no consequence who we have for vice president!" I challenge Mr. Breckinridge to deny it. If he does, it shall be proven.
I shall now leave Mr. Breckinridge in the hands of the people, who will determine whether he is guilty of the charge, or whether he ought to be acquitted—whether I have charged him "without the shadow of proof," or whether there are grounds sufficient to justify the charge—whether I have been actuated by causes which "will be found not to be of modern date," or whether the presumption was not so strong as to leave little or no doubt of the truth of the charge—whether with this conviction, it was not my duty, as a faithful Centinel, to give the alarm on the approach of danger. To my impartial, unprejudiced fellow citizens I appeal—I appeal to every honest man, whether after being so fully convinced of his guilt, silence would not have been criminal—whether I could have stood acquitted to the world, or to my own conscience? To those who are resolved to support Mr. Breckinridge "through thick and thin," guilty or not guilty—I have nothing to ask, nor do I fear anything.
It having been asserted, that Mr. Breckinridge could not have been concerned in so weak a plot, it may be necessary to shew, that the plan was not so weak as some would represent it. This, together with the probable extent of it, must be the subject of another number.
DAN. BRADFORD.
The legislature of New-Hampshire have adopted the amendment to the constitution of the United States.
We learn by the ship Urania , says the Boston Democrat of the 23rd ultimo, Captain Davis, in forty-five days from Dublin, that the King of Great-Britain has had a relapse of his mental derangement, and in his infirmity offered violence to the queen—That the prince of Wales, was to be appointed regent, and that the political influence of Mr. Ad-dington was declining very rapidly—A change of administration was expected, and that Mr. Fox, would be at the head of the ministry. We give this as the report of the day.
From the Aurora . EUROPEAN NEWS. (IN ABSTRACT)
The British ambassador Drake dismissed from Munich in the most formal manner.
The change in the British ministry certain. The British secretary of state Hawkesbury, has published a
sort of notice of the conspiracy of Mr. Drake.
The change in the British ministry is said to be radical—that Mr. Pitt has had a carte blanche and makes his own arrangements. If this should prove true, a removal of the evil dispositions practiced under his form of administration is to be expected—and the war in Europe will again pervade the whole continent.
A report prevailed at Lisbon that the king and queen of the two Sicilies had been put under arrest by order of the first consul.
A letter from an arrival at N. York from Lisbon states that the celebrated British admiral Nelson had died on board the fleet off Toulon.
The new ministry is reported to be, tho' it is from certain reasons problematical—Mr. Pitt as before prime minister—Mr. Fox secretary for foreign affairs—Lord Grenville, the home department.
The senate of Hamburg has authorized the seizure in their territory of Frenchmen engaged in the conspiracy; the French minister urged the precedent of Napoléon and his seven colleagues.
The emperor of Germany has forbidden French emigrant royalists from residing in any of the Austrian territories within 50 miles of the French frontier.
It was reported that the British king had again relapsed into his old disorder, and that a regency was contemplated.
Mr. Drake by a singular coincidence of circumstances and time—the British it was reported had blocked the mouth of the Scheldt.
A commercial treaty between the United States and Russia, was reported to be on the eve of conclusion, highly favorable to the United States.
A tax of 19 per cent had been levied in Denmark on all property; the reason being a meditated invasion of Denmark by the French.
Mr. Spencer Smith, British ambassador at Stuttgart was about to return re-infacto to England.
An embargo which had existed for five months in the port of Ostend had been taken off and 50 or 60 neutral vessels failed.
To correspondents. A continuation of the "Hibernian Visitor," is received.

A PASTORAL BALLAD.
By Rowe.
Despairing beside a clear stream, A shepherd forsaken was laid; And, while a false nymph was his theme, A willow supported his head. The wind that blew over the plain To his sighs with a sigh did reply; And the brook, in return to his pain Ran mournfully murmuring by.
Alas! gilly swain that I was! (Thus sadly complaining he cried;) When first I beheld that fair face, 'Twas better by far I had died. She talk'd and I bled at her dear tongue; When the smil'd it was pleasure too
great; I listened, and cried, when she sung, Was nightingale ever so sweet! How foolish was I to believe She could dote on so lowly a clown, Or that her fond heart would not grieve To forsake the fine folk of the town!
To think that a beauty so gay So kind and so constant would prove; Or to clad, like our maidens, in grey, Or live in a nunnery on love!
What though I have skill to complain, Tho' the Muses my temples crown; What though when they hear my faint strain, The virgins sit weeping around; Ah, Colin! my hopes are in vain, Thy pipe and thy laurel forsaken; Thy fair one inclines to a twain Whose music is sweeter than thine.
All you, my companions so dear, Who sorrow to see me betray'd, Whatever I suffer, forbear, Forbear to accuse the false maid. Tho' thro' the wide world I should range, 'Tis in vain my fortune to try; Twas hers to be false, and to change; 'Tis mine to be constant—and die.
If, while my hard fate I sustain, In her breast any pity is found; Let her come, with the nymphs of the plain, And see me laid low in the ground: The last humble boon that I crave Is, to hide me with cypress and yew; And, when she looks down on my grave, Let her own that her shepherd was true.
Then to her new love let her go, And deck her in golden array; Be finest at ev'ry fine show, And frolic at all the long day: While Colin, forgotten and gone, No more shall be talk'd of or seen, Unless when, beneath the pale moon, His ghost shall glide over the green. "I trifle light as air."
A Beau's pudding, if its size should continue to increase, will soon answer a very valuable purpose. A man will shortly be enabled to use it for a port manteau; and the shirts, stockings, and shoes, necessary for every traveller, will answer very well the purposes of neck wadding.

HAS lately been induced, from the rapid increase of his custom, to purchase a lot of ground, adjoining that on which he lives, for the purpose of building a dining room and assembly room, each 54 by 32 feet 10 inches, with six additional lodging rooms, and in- tends to finish them before the ensuing winter; which, together with his Ta- vern and house, will occupy a front of near one hundred feet in the most agreea- ble part of the town, and in the centre of business, being on the highest part of the public square.

The distinguished preference which the first characters have already given him in his business, fills him with gratitude.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE Kentucky Gazette. LEXINGTON, JULY 17, 1804.
For the Kentucky Gazette. To the Voters of the Sixth Congressional District.
THE time approaches when you will have to exercise the important privilege of choosing your public servants, to represent you in the state legislature, and the Congress of the United States.
Your present representative in Congress, when he was first elected, enjoyed your confidence for his apparent integrity...
a politician, are unworthy qualities, and are indicative of either an absolute privation of morals or a total want of talents.
Responsibility, fellow citizens, was one of the most valuable ingredients in the formation of our constitution...
The incentives to a degeneracy of manners in all civilized nations are certainly very great, and even in this state where foreign luxuries have but a feeble operation...
National prosperity in a republican government, will eternally depend upon national virtue; as without the latter the people are only calculated for a despotick government...
What can be more evidently pernicious than a habit adopted by many persons of the present day, of endeavouring to purchase the votes of freemen...
which originated in venal prostitution, and which can only be supported through a want of virtue in the people. It has been a custom with most of the candidates in the sixth congressional district...
A Farmer of Bourbon.
It is confidently asserted from what Mr. Bedinger himself has declared, that his election to Congress last year cost him nearly a thousand dollars.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
THE publication of the "True Republican" has justly excited in the breasts of all who have read it, the liveliest indignation.
him--Bedinger, on the contrary, it was thought could be managed--his attachment to Breckenridge was known, and he must be re-elected.
PAULDING.
P. S. Perhaps the printers throughout the state will serve the cause of genuine republicanism, by giving the above an insertion before the election.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
LOOK OUT FOR AN INTRIGUER.
THERE are times when silence would be criminal. Candor and frankness are at all times essential requisites of honesty and integrity.
the principle of taxation; increasing the number of extravagant offices; creation of sinecures for favorites; an increase of executive influence and patronage...
