For the Kentucky Gazette. CHARACTER national and individual will always be highly appreciated, where the dignity of human nature is understood, or social intercourse is promoted. In private life, the man who wishes to enjoy the mutual benefits of commerce or social intercourse with his neighbor, views with jealousy the slightest imputation on his character. He guards his conduct with the eye of circumspection, that even the tongue of malevolence may be lulled to silence. And whilst his conduct is ingenuous and honest, he is esteemed. But when time has proved him steady and undeviating, he adds respectability to his former acquirements. He commands the confidence of his neighbors—His words, his opinions, and his actions become rather the object of example than scrutiny—and he frequently possesses a power and an influence, which, without the weight of his character, he could not hope for.
But if these advantages be acknowledged, felt, and sought after in private life; are they not of greater importance when considered as relative to a state or nation, in proportion as the objects of national or state concern are of greater magnitude than those of private life? Nations have felt the advantages of it, and states, in the confederated government of America, must and will feel its influence. Kentucky, which but the other day was the haunt of the savage, and the resting place of the bear of the woods, is growing with unprecedented rapidity in numbers, and has a proportional increase of members in the national delegations. It is of the first importance to her to obtain a proportional influence in the national councils.—But that influence is only to be hoped for, by a steady adherence to the principles of our Constitution—Standing the most conspicuous in the Western part of the Union; when questions of Western concern have agitated the public mind, her conduct has uniformly shown a reliance on the general government—and in that reliance she has not been mistaken. Subjects peculiarly interesting to the Western country, have always received the prompt and decisive attention of the general government. Hitherto it is believed the other parts of the union have had no cause to complain of her conduct. Being one of the first states to complain of the encroachments, under the late administration, on our constitution; she has uniformly been considered as amongst the firmest supporters of its principles, and of the administration which now holds the reins of government.
Such sentiments as these pervading the state, it is firmly believed, every part of it has felt a just indignation at the sentiments expressed by the writer of a late publication, who chooses to assume the title of "A True Republican!" That these sentiments should be entertained by one or two men is not strange, in a country where each has a right to entertain and express what opinions he chooses, on political subjects; the most absurd principles will be advocated by some: and we can only be surprised, that from the millions who inhabit the United States, we do not more frequently hear the wildest ideas advanced, nor is it astonishing that where offices are open to all, some should aspire to the first dignities in the country, and even use art and intrigue to obtain them, who do not deserve the public confidence. While these things are confined to a few, they will never affect the character of a state—and only deserve the attention of the people at large, as the persons thus acting stand in a public or private capacity. It is only when such principles or conduct is adopted by numbers, and persons who on other occasions deserve the title of respectable, that they become of serious import to the people at large, and a sense of their own interest calls upon them to act decisively; and when a groundless charge of this kind is made, to repel it with promptness. Such a charge is now made upon a respectable portion of our citizens.
A writer styling himself "Paulding," has appeared in the Gazetteer of the 6th July, who not only charges Mr. Breckinridge with an intrigue for the Vice-Presidency of the United States, but affects that the intrigue has started a candidate for Congress in the upper Congressional District—Has brought forward another in the lower district—and even extends throughout the state to the supporters of Gen. Caldwell as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor for the state of Kentucky.
To be continued.
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE. To the Citizens of the Sixth Congressional District.
IN the Guardian of Freedom, of last week, there appeared a piece addressed to the people of Bourbon, Nicholas, Mason, Fleming, and Floyd, and signed, "A number of the citizens of Greenup county." This piece will be found to be the malevolent offspring of three or four disappointed candidates for offices in that county. Their design is evidently intended to injure the election of Robert Harrison Grayson, who has incurred their displeasure because he would not recommend one of them as a quarter session Judge, who could not write his own name, another, who was a riotous drunkard, as a magistrate, a third who resided in an uninhabited part of the county, who also wished to be a magistrate, and because he opposed the most wishes of a particular family who desired only the moderate number of five offices for three of their family. Mr. Grayson was willing that family should have two or three of those offices. One of them was appointed a magistrate, another he wished should have the office of quarter session judge or county surveyor, as he thought him well qualified for either of those stations. This will was mentioned to a relation of this gentleman who was at that time in Frankfort, he said his friend would prefer the station of county surveyor. Mr. Grayson had no objection that another of this family should be appointed clerk to the county or quarter session court in case he could obtain from the clerk of the court of appeals the necessary certificate that he was qualified. He did not obtain this certificate, and if the courts through complaisance did not think proper to appoint him without it, Mr. G. is not to blame. Four or five of the magistrates who were appointed, were named to the members of the assembly from this county by this gentleman who has since been a candidate for the clerkship, and indeed most of the persons who were on the first list were recommended by him. We make no doubt, however, that this virtuous young gentleman, who, it seems, in his own person carries the will of the majority of the citizens of Greenup, and had the clerkship in expectancy, was perfectly impartial in his nomination to the members of Mason. The members from Mason who made out the first list, are no ways censurable, as they made it from the best information they had at the time. Mr. Grayson who acted under the sacred obligation of an oath, and who also was acquainted in that part of Mason which now constitutes Greenup, could not do justice to his conscience or his constituents, in suffering the first list when shown to him, to go to the Governor; nor will he pay the majority of Greenup county to poor a compliment as to suppose they wished a man who could not write his name, to be their quarter session judge, a riotous drunkard to be their magistrate, or that they were so partial as to with five offices to be conferred on three members of a particular family. Mr. Grayson cannot with justice be accused with partiality in recommending the officers of the new county, as it was by his particular request that the name of his own brother, which had been put on the first list by the other members from Mason, should be erased. George Washington Grayson had been the only magistrate in that part of Mason called Greenup, at present, and had perhaps done as much towards the settlement of that part of the county as any other man in it; but to avoid every imputation of partiality, his brother objected to his being recommended.
The authors of the piece will recollect that it is the citizens of the sixth congressional district, and not three or four disappointed candidates who are to determine whether Mr. Grayson is entitled to the public confidence or not. With regard to the rest of this ill natured composition, it does not merit a reply, as indeed the whole of it is founded in falsehood, misrepresentation, and is the result of disappointment.

True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back
LEXINGTON, JULY 31.
The papers by yesterday's mail, contain a variety of interesting European news; the most important events are, a change of ministry in England—a treaty of alliance being concluded between Russia and Austria—and the appointment of Bonaparte Emperor of the Gauls.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Mason county, July 30th, 1804.
"I have just met with a Mr. Johnson, an acquaintance of mine from Virginia, whose veracity may be depended on; he informs me that he came through the Sandy Wilderness, with our old acquaintance Capt. Fowler, who had spent some time at the Sweet Springs on account of his health—Capt. Fowler is now at the Olympic Springs, will proceed on through Montgomery and Clarke counties, and be in Lexington in a few days—I was much pleased to hear this news, as Capt. Fowler's return, will no doubt have great influence in the election of a member to Congress for your district, in the event of which I feel much interested."
Gen. Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel with Col. Burr on the morning of the 11th inst. at Hoboken on the Jersey shore. They both fired at the same time—Gen. Hamilton's ball missed, but he received Col. Burr's in his stomach. What circumstance caused the duel is not known.
On Monday next the election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Representatives to Congress and the State Legislature, commences throughout this state. It having been understood by many, that the election for Electors to choose a President and Vice President, was to commence at the same time, we think it proper to state, that the Electors are not to be chosen until November.
By Request.] Abel M. Sargent proposes delivering a discourse from 2 Cor. viii. 12. on Sunday next, at the Factory, two miles from Lexington, on the road leading to Gen. Todd's, to commence at 11 o'clock.
From London papers up to May 18. On the tenth of May the seals of office as Prime Minister, were delivered to the King by Mr. Addington, and immediately presented to Mr. Pitt. Mr. Pitt, at several interviews with his Majesty, had earnestly urged for the admission of Mr. Fox into the Ministry, but without success. In consequence of which there had been meetings of Mr. F. and his friends, in which he had pressed them, notwithstanding he was kept from office, to lend their aid to the new administration; but they resolved they would not become members of any administration from which, under present circumstances, he was excluded. At one of these meetings, the Marquis of Buckingham, Lord Fitzwilliam, Carlisle, Spencer, Mr. T. Grenville, Mr. Windham, &c. &c. were present.
From present appearances it is judged Mr. Pitt, as minister, will have a formidable opposition. The persons who retire with Mr. Addington are Earl St. Vincent, Earl Hobart, Messrs. York, Steel, Bragge and Tierney.—Mr. Addington has refused a peerage, and has not asked for any provision for any connexion.—The Prince of Wales continues to avow his attachment to Mr. Fox.
NAPOLÉON I.
The question of Bonaparte's assumption of the Imperial Dignity, was discussed in the Tribune, on the 1st and 2d of May. Carnot was the only member who opposed or offered to oppose it. He asked whether sacrificing liberty was granting the First Consul a reward for his services; whether it was not destroying his own work to make France his private patrimony? He said he voted against making him Consul for life, and he would be consistent—but if the order of things proposed took place he would be a faithful subject—He mentioned the United States, to show the practicability of Free Government.

NOTICE.
To all whom it may concern: WHEREAS the two most noted seminaries of blackguard vulgarism (Tyburn and Billinggate) have lately spewed out their filthy contents; whereas it is conceived that it will be dangerous to the peace, health and morals of the people, inasmuch as the filthy contents thereof has reached the state of Kentucky, and has already cast the printing presses to overflow with their Billinggate, &c. productions; and whereas it is further conceived, that if there is not timely interposition to stop its malignant ravages (being of a contagious nature) it will corrupt all the rising generation, and that in future we shall see nothing flow from the pen of the rising genius, but filth and foam—the public therefore cautioned how they approach, or associate with, or suffer those cankers
of society to lurk in their view, as it will have the direct tendency to unbridge and corrupt the manly virtues which are present characterize our country.
BACK SLAM.
P. S. The disorder appears to be of a peculiar, malignant and contagious nature, as it has already corrupted and eradicated the few manly virtues of the intenable "Editor of the Kentucky Gazette;" who since his late attack with this malignant disorder, deals in invective, personalities, innuendoes, calumny and blackguardism, with the same facility that he does in falsehoods; and from the apothegm with which he appears on this occasion, one would suppose him a genius of the first call or magnitude, inasmuch as he has even surpassed his preceptors. Query, Who is this would-be-great Editor of the Kentucky Gazette? Is it that same worthless, drunken rascal, who attempted to conduct a Printing-office in Frankfort, but was condemned to death by Captain Whiskey ? If it is, the public is cautioned how they credit the rant of a drunken fellow. B. S.
[The above carries evidence on the face of it being the composition of Capt. Stevenson.—The Editor of the Kentucky Gazette is therefore under obligations to him, for giving it to the world, as no person can believe, that the "True Republican" and "Back Slam," were from the same author.]
For the Kentucky Gazette.
NOTICE.
To all whom it may concern: WHEREAS the most renowned and valiant Captain Cavern, Esquire to the most noble and illustrious knight, has sheathed his sword, laid down his lance, and drawn his pen in defence of his noble master; and whereas the said valiant captain, now William the Conqueror, is about to be knighted, as a reward for his faithful and disinterested services. These are therefore in the name of his said illustrious and magnanimous master, to command all our faithful and loyal subjects, to render unto our said fair Captain William, all honor, submission and obedience; and henceforth our said loving captain is to be called and known by the name and title of Lord Sir Black Sam, Knight of the Cavern, &c. &c. And all our liege subjects, but particularly Cretomb, Paulding, Squinting and Slam, are hereby prohibited under pain of our displeasure, from using any of the filth, foam, or blackguard vulgarism which properly belongs to the noble lord Sir Black Sam. And our said faithful and beloved lord, is hereby appointed president of that noted seminary (Billinggate) where he is exclusively to have and use all his favorite epithets, for the advantage of our friends and allies, until he receives our commands to repair to Tyburn; his faithful services being sufficient to entitle him to that situation. By his Excellency's special command. PEDAGOGUE, Secretary.
It won't do Captain; your patron endeavored to change the subject without success. Can you expect by bestowing your Billinggate scurrility on the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette, to exculpate yourself from the charge of forging the names of the Rev. Mr. Price and Col. Sanders? It won't do, I tell you it won't do. Get your patron to assist you, and try again.
SQUINTER.
SIMON SNAP wishes to know of School-master William, whether he graduated at that noted seminary, Billinggate? If he did, Simon would gladly take a few lessons, to match Moll Flagon, who now beats him hollow.
JONATHAN WILD, being apprehensive for his personal safety, presents his compliments to Lawyer, and wants his advice, how he shall be in public view. He assures the counsellor, his fee shall be paid, as soon as he can lay his hands honestly on the amount.
Capt. Billy has, to be sure, given us (in himself) a handsome specimen of the manly virtues which at present characterize our country—from the apothegm with which he appears on this occasion, one would suppose him a genius of the first call or magnitude, inasmuch as he has even surpassed his preceptor."
Did the captain write "Back Slam" to show a specimen of his literary talents? How does this specimen corroborate the oath he has taken, that he wrote the "True Republican"?
A king usually provides himself with a fool after he is seated in the chair of state; but our would-be-president is provided beforehand. To the citizens of the state of Kentucky. Col. ALEXANDER S. BULLITT having declined offering his services again as lieutenant governor, I in obedience to the wish of my friends, as well as my own inclination, have offered myself as a candidate for that office.
Having for two or three years past (in the absence of Col. Bullitt) been honored by the Senate with the appointment of Speaker pro tem. my fellow-citizens have a full and fair opportunity of ascertaining whether I possess the necessary qualifications to discharge the duties of that office to which I aspire; and inasmuch as many have never had an opportunity of witnessing my conduct while acting as Speaker to the Senate, I refer them to the members of the assembly and others who have been present for information upon the subject.
I take this public manner of communicating my intentions to my fellow-citizens, because no other mode would bring them to generally known.
I assure you, that should I be honored with the office of Lieutenant Governor, I will not be found deficient in the discharge of my duties so far as due application and a sincere desire to serve my country, added to what talents I may possess, shall enable me to discharge them.
I am, with due respect, Your fellow-citizen. JOHN CALDWELL.
20 dollars reward.
