For the Gazette of the United States.
To the LEGISLATURES of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, & New-York.
IT is a wise observation, that laws make men. Moral causes are more powerful than climate, in giving a character to a nation. Of all political schemes, was any ever better adapted to produce liberty, knowledge, virtue, and happiness, than the town corporations of Connecticut? As a friend to liberty and public order, a correspondent wishes to call the attention of the State Legislatures to this important consideration. Our country is now settling rapidly; it is now in our power to adopt the example of Connecticut. It will be very difficult, if we neglect it till the country is fully settled. It would require a book to explain and illustrate the excellencies of the system recommended. The condition of Connecticut may save the trouble of writing and reading such a book. Town governments bring into the hands of the people themselves, all the power that can well remain there without representation—yet they favour public order eminently. Democracy, and strictness of authority, go hand in hand. The people are trained to order—to the business, rather than the theory of administration; and, therefore, the new fangled fanatical notions of disturbers of the public peace, are counteracted more successfully in Connecticut, than in any state differently organized. The people are not only used to administer the laws, (and as that takes off their mystey, it takes off their terror and odium, also) but they are interested in good order, in proportion to the power they hold. By possessing town powers they have a stake which public confusion would take out of their hands. They are so far rulers, rather than the ruled.
If liberty and power can be reconciled in practice, no scheme promises to be so successful. The laudable zeal which is awakened in favour of schools, renders these remarks proper and seasonable. New-York, Jersey, and Pennsylvania, are peopled in a manner to admit of this distribution of the energies and blessings of society. Little has been laid, and men of sense seem to have thought less than they ought, of the singular excellence of the institution of town corporations.
By means of town, religious instruction may be provided for; and, notwithstanding the turn towards atheism or deism which the sophists and incendiaries are every where circulating, I am still old fashioned enough to believe that without it men would be very like bears. Ministers, and schoolmasters, are the magistrates of virtue; and without town corporations, it will be difficult to gather the scattered settlers into neighbourhoods and happy villages—they will be dispersed. People are fond of collecting their settlements round the meeting houses and school houses—less land is taken for a farm, and of course better cultivated. The country being thickly peopled, becomes stronger, richer, wiser, more civilized, virtuous and happy. These ideas are intended merely as hints, to draw the attention of the rulers of the American States to the subject: Their success would be worth more than ten bloody victories, or an hundred gold mines.
WILLIAM PENN.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO.
ONE of the anarchical Newspapers exhorts us to hate every man, every measure and every principle that is British. To be any thing near British is enough to damn truth and hang innocence. The paragraph that includes this doctrine is a very pretty specimen of the liberal philosophy that pretends to fraternize the globe and to banish prejudice and government craft out of the world. It is sound and excellent. So be it. It is however worth asking, do these praters act as they declaim? Last spring Britain fought a war with this Country, and our mad caps did all they could to forward their design. Those whom they would (in vain) stigmatize as the British party opposed and baffled this plan of co-operating with the British and prevented the contrived occasions of a war.
The very opposition of these men to a free government, is a copy of the British malcontents, and that is not strange as our grumblers are chiefly imported (or transported) from the British dominions. They come over trained as it were in a manage and broke to the harness of sedition. It is a thing of
course for them to take into their mouths the bits of two or three political Jehus; who display their jockeyships at the elections. It is a pretty thing to hear the animals (whom their masters bestride to get above the mud) boast of their high spirit of freedom and independence. They cannot stomach excise-laws, and all the servile submissions that sheriffs and collectors require. It would not be proper to mention names, and every reader by looking round his district can be at no loss for them.
The laws and the magistrates do not demand half as much submission from the whiskey and club men, as they yield to their ambitious leaders—and less than half as much blind faith in government, as they place in Bache's and similar papers, would break up their conspiracies and clubs. It is not admitted that faith in government is blind or ought to be so. It's measures have been open, and have stood the test of enemies, as well as of the impartial public. It may be added the test of experience. If the whiskey and club men still maintain their faith in men and the newspapers, that have not only sometimes, but always deceived them, may we not say of them, none are so blind as those who will not see.
Not only the malcontents have British blood in their veins, but the cant of their sedition is all borrowed from England. Their phrases think of Grub-street, and are so like the originals one would suspect they were pen'd in that Country, but not being used there, the new comers let them off in this. They should be mark'd OLD STOCK. The Court, the Ministry, Corruptions, Abuses, Intrigue, Influence and an endless jargon of phrases utterly inapplicable to our politics, seem to be copied literally from the London Morning Chronicle.
One other circumstance should be remembered. The British government never ceased to pursue the policy of keeping the states as widely separate and unconnected as possible. To divide and govern was the maxim of our old masters, and is now the everlasting theme of those who are attempting to become so. They preach the necessity of a feeble national, and strong state system. There are proper bounds to both governments, but they lose no opportunity to foment every state faction, to encroach upon the federal constitution. Who oppose the constitutional laws of Congress, first by quibbles on their passage and by combinations and violence after they are passed? Who are the men to urge state resolutions against the acts of Congress—to vote an excise tyranny—to make the federal officers, as far as they could, aliens and outlaws in their states—in a word who are the blind dupes or designing plotters of disunion and anarchy? The very men who pretend to abhor every thing British; and one would think were hired by Britain to carry thro' their old unsuccessful scheme of state divisions and dissensions. It is indeed the ready way to undo our independence by making it a mere name. A weak national government would fall an easy prey to any power that may domineer in Europe. France on the contrary owes her independence to the early dissolution of all the provinces and other disjointed and repulsive divisions of her territory.
One and indivisible is the style of the French republic; yet say those who make it a crime to like any thing English or to dislike any thing French, the same principle would make our government a despotism. Very good—Keep our government exactly at the mark the constitution has made. But do not let these hypocrites set up their adherence to ANY foreign standard as the rule of their conduct. They will say and do any thing to carry points. They are idolaters of France, maniacs against England to-day—to-morrow if party views required it, they would turn and turn about. They pretend to love the French—yet they loved Robespierre, and in cold blood vindicated his robberies and murders. They accused sober citizens who thought it too much to surrender their religion and their humanity to this deified monster. But their attachment to France is the pure result of their republicanism. While Louis the 16th was King and his ministers and those of our own citizens, NO MATTER WHETHER PUBLIC MEN OR NOT who conspired at and aided what the Convention in their address to Congress properly term, the criminal orders against our independence, the same party were then zealous kings men, the despot whose death they now rejoice in was then a demigod. A word against him as a despot would have lenthen'd and blacken'd the columns in Mr. Bache's paper.
A friendly connection with France is certainly to be cherished—and so is neutrality at least with England The
fitness or unfitness of any political relations is not the object of these remarks. It is intended as a hint at the hypocrisy and inconsistency of some of our ranters. Indeed the slightest recollection of the language and proceedings of these political pharisees will show in spite of the affected super-purity of their principles, that they have no principles, they are not a sect who would propagate a new faith, but a profligate, and generally speaking, a disgraced party who are struggling for power.
From the Boston Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL,
THE advocates of genuine Liberty, united with order, have frequently been denominated "Aristocrats and Enemies of Liberty," by those who have no other argument but calling hard names; and no other principles but that of doing whatever they please—and what they please to do, to be right. As the votaries of the Muses have shared in the name-calling obloquy—permit the following sentiments to have place—not as a reply to insinuations too dull and too contemptible to merit notice—but as an effusion well worthy.
A Reader of the Centinel.
THE TRUE PATRIOT.
A FEDERALISM.
WHILE yet a boy—with honest pride I speak—
Ev'n then my arm was rais'd to screen
the weak:
Ev'n then, subversive of despotic rule,
I curb'd each petty tyrant of the school;
—While now maturer reason calmly reigns,
The same pure fire still mantles in my veins.
—Should ever despot strive—forbid it fate!
By base, perfidious arts, to sap the state;
To break that sacred compact, which unites
The power of rulers with the people's rights:
Myself, I'd foremost rush to found th' alarm:
Myself, I'd bid the sons of freedom arm—
No tame, inglorious life would then be mine—
I'd tear the tyrant from th' embattled line;
In day's broad glare, perform a hero's part;
And die beneath my own unflinching heart—
I'd scorn all dangers for the public weal:
I'd brave death's terror; and, with holy zeal,
Pour the rich torrent of my youthful blood,
In full libations for my country's good.
From the Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL,
One plea for the very extraordinary coldness of the answer of the House of Representatives, to the excellent and admired Speech of the President, was this—By taking any notice of the self-created societies, in the answer we shall raise up the Clubs into importance. Leaving the good sense and the sincerity of this excuse out of the question, I have turned my eyes to the operation of the debate, in order to discover whether there was any foundation for it in the event, and I beg leave to ask the doubters, whether experience has not fully convinced them, that the public discussion has not raised up these enemies of republican liberty, into power and importance. There has been time enough to gather the sense of the country, and I venture to say from an extensive enquiry, from the evidence of very many private letters, from the newspapers of almost all the states, and from every ordinary channel of intelligence, that the self-created societies are down almost below contempt. The universal voice of the country people is against them, and in our cities, the numbers of their rabble are contemptible—as to the sort of people that support them, if they would do to shew, if they would bear exhibiting in a printed list, would they not long before this, have published their muster roll? They know better than to leave their holes.
The truth is, and the event has proved, that the debate in Congress, has roused our enlightened citizens to examine the question. Imposture has drunk from the light of truth. The patriots in masquerade, have been stripped. Opinion is doing in our country that work of reform, that the Convention of France have been obliged to attempt, by a formal decree, and will perhaps be unable to accomplish without force and bloodshed.
NO JACOBIN.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.
That part of the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania established in the country of Washington, to their Fellow-Citizens throughout the United States.
WE have been accused of being instru-
mental in exciting and fomenting the unhappy insurrection that has recently prevailed in this our country; were we to suffer this charge to pass unnoticed (however innocent we may be) it might be construed into a tacit acknowledgment of guilt.
Our accusers to establish the above charge have brought forward insinuations without foundation—assertions without proof—abstract reasoning without principles, and self-created surmises unworthy of Republicans. It is truly to be lamented that any of the representatives of a free people should be jealous of every thirty or forty of their constituents, who may meet together to exercise a constitutional right. The right of speaking, publishing & declaring their sentiments (thro' the medium of the press for otherwise) is a right inseparable from Republicans. And if one man in his individual capacity has a right to point out the errors of the government under which he lives, by the same partiality of reasoning fifty in their aggregate capacity are, subject, nevertheless, to the controlling opinion of their countrymen. To you then fellow-citizens, we make a just representation of our conduct, and to your candor and impartiality we appeal.
On the 24th March last, this society was organized, and not before that time, have we known of a Democrat, Republican, or any other political society established in any of the counties of Pennsylvania, west of the Allegheny. At the first sitting of the society, we adopted a certain remonstrance, transmitted to us from Kentucky, on the subject of opening the Navigation of the Mississippi; the adoption of this remonstrance met with considerable opposition, and was carried by a majority of two only; previous to this it is true, certain transient meetings had been held in this country, particularly committees, or assemblies of persons to effect a repeal of certain laws of the United States, which they declared in their opinion, were oppressive; but it cannot be presumed that this society was either directly or indirectly concerned with the meetings in any scheme of opposition to government (if any such they had) when at that time, we did no exist. For in no instance, nor at any time, have we taken the subject of any law into consideration; our doors never prevented the admission of strangers, and for the truth of the above assertion we appeal to every unprejudiced bystander. At the second meeting of the society, on the 23rd day of June last, certain resolutions were adopted and published, non-concurring with some executive acts; but we persuade ourselves that nothing will be inferred from these, in support of the charges exhibited against us, subsequent to this second meeting and previous to the third, which was on the 22nd of September, the principal outrages took place, and it may not be amiss here to inform our fellow-citizens, that a serious opposition to the executive law was abundantly manifested (in the private conversations) from the earliest promulgation thereof, which will fully appear by having recourse to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, on that subject, these undeniable facts being premised, we confidently hope will be a sufficient refutation of every calumny, attempted against us, independent of all other considerations—and we assert that no subject such as with which we are charged, was ever spoken of by any member in the society, but on the contrary, as the situation and disposition of the country would admit, we have expressed our disapprobation of the violent measures which have prevailed.
It has been asserted, on the floor of Congress, in order to prove that we have been instrumental in fomenting the late insurrection, that some of our members were leaders in it, we admit, that a few of them (not more than seven) in their individual capacity, were too deeply involved; but suppose they had been twenty, is that any reason that the society should be stigmatized with being the fomenters of the rebellion; with the same reason and propriety it might be asserted, that if a member of a corporate body should commit murder, that the corporation should be punished; or if any member of Congress, in attempting to ride down Democratic Societies should commit themselves, would it be reasonable that the other members of the same body, should be held in contempt. We always have, and shall always consider ourselves amenable to the constitutional laws of that government from which we have the honor to derive the appellation; our constitution we are resolved to continue; our government we are resolved to support; our public men and measures we are resolved to watch over; our sentiments to the world we are resolved to publish; and free communications of thoughts and opinions (one of our most invaluable rights) we are resolved to maintain; those reflections we consider as the result of the demagoguery, and perfectly compatible with our constitution.
Fellow citizens, we feel ourselves constrained to lament among the representatives of the American people, an instrumentality calculated to render useless and inefficacious, almost every patriotic association, for the dissemination of Republican sentiments; had success crowned their late efforts, might not even the illustrious self-created society of Cincinnati have trembled for its fate.
Here, then, fellow citizens, we call our cause; and we trust, from a review of our conduct, we have proved our innocence to your satisfaction—and to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we

BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction at her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."
2. The Inquisitor —By Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents. 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols. 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia —by Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whether the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
"In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive."
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

Embellished with a map of Barbary, comprehending Morocco, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoly.

"The American Museum is not only eminently calculated to disseminate political and other valuable information, but it has been uniformly conducted with taste, attention, & propriety. If to these important objects be superadded the more immediate design, of rescuing public documents from oblivion, I will venture to pronounce, as my sentiment, that a more useful literary plan has never been undertaken in America, nor one more deserving of public encouragement."

No. 80, Chestnut street,
AN
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT
OF THE
Rise, progress, and present
state
OF THE
Canal Navigation in Penn-
sylvania.
With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the
Acts of the Legislature since the year
1790, and their Grants of Money for im-
proving Roads and Navigable Waters
throughout the state—to which is an-
nexed,
"An Explanatory Map."
Published by Direction of the President and
Managers of the Schuylkill and Susque-
hanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill
Navigation Companies.
"Here smooth CANALS, across th' extend-
ed plain
Stretch their long arms to join the distant
main.
The fons of toil, with many a weary stroke
Scalp the hard bosom of the solid rock;
Resistless through the stiff opposing clay,
With steady patience, work their gradual
way;
Compel the Genius of th' unwilling flood
Through the brown horrors of the aged
wood;
Crois the lone waste the silver urn they
pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor.
"The traveller, with pleasing wonder
sees
The white sail gleaming through the dusky
trees;
And views the alter'd landscape with sur-
prize
And doubts the magic scenes that round
him rise.
Now like a flock of swans, above his head,
Their woven wings the flying vessels spread
Now meeting streams, in artful mazes, glide
While each, unmingled, pours a separate
tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth
they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves be-
low.
The rustic streams obey the guiding hand,
And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!
