Many of our readers, not wishing to take the Aurora and anxious to see many articles therein published, we have, to gratify them thought proper to republish the copy of a letter said to be from President Adams, which will be found in the opposite page.
From the Richmond Federalist.
RICHMOND, October 2d, 1800. Mr. Davis, I FIND myself called upon in your paper, to publish a letter from Mr. Henry to me. I should not have thought it necessary to notice any thing from an anonymous writer, either friend or foe, had there not been insinuations thrown out that I had misrepresented, and perverted the meaning of that letter—but, holding the good opinion of my fellow citizens in high estimation, I have determined to publish the letter, and beg leave shortly to explain the circumstances which produced, and my conduct concerning it, that the public may judge whether I have been guilty of the charge of misrepresentation or perversion. Some time in December, 1798, a Gentleman mentioned in my presence, that a report was circulating in Hanover, injurious to Mr. Marshall's interest, and much to the discredit of Mr. Henry, and wished he could be informed of it. I told him I was intimate with that Gentleman, and would inform him of the report, if he would state it in writing. He did so, to this effect:— "That a certain Gentleman (naming him) had applied to Mr. Henry for his opinion of the most proper person to fill the office of a Representative for the Henrico district, in Congress of the United States, when he answered that the best advice he could give in the case, was to vote against that person for whom the old Tories, Scotch and British merchants, were the most anxious." I accordingly wrote to Mr. Henry, and received in answer this much talked of letter, which I have often been solicited to publish, by characters for whom I had the highest respect; but I was opposed to it, conceiving it improper to trouble the public with what was merely intended to contradict the false reports to the prejudice of an individual in a particular district; and resolved to use it for that purpose only. The letter was therefore committed to the charge of confidential persons, to shew to the people within the district, in order to remove from their minds the wrong impressions which the report had occasioned, and I enjoined that no copy should be taken. After the death of my worthy friend, I looked up his letter as I thought forever— But it soon afterwards occurred to me, that insinuations had gone forth that Mr. Henry was unfriendly to General Washington, and disapproved of his administration. As this letter showed the contrary, and that he gave General Washington the preference to any other character whatever, I thought it but justice to the memory of my departed friend, to make this circumstance known to that illustrious person, not doubting but it would be gratifying to him to find his conduct approbated by so great and good a man; for which purpose I transmitted to him the only copy ever taken of the letter to my knowledge. The answer which I had the honor to receive, you may publish also, to gratify the curiosity of Mr. Friend.
A. BLAIR. N. B. The original letters may be seen by all who wish it. To ARCHIBALD BLAIR, Esq. RED-HILL, Charlotte County, January 8th, 1799. DEAR SIR,
Your favor of the 28th of last month, I have received. Its contents are a fresh proof that there is cause for much lamentation over the present state of things in Virginia. It is possible that most of the individuals who compose the contending factions, are sincere, and act from honest motives. But it is more than probable that certain leaders meditate a change in government. To effect this, I see no way so practicable as dissolving the confederacy. And I am free to own, that in my judgment, most of the measures lately pursued by the opposition party, directly, and certainly lead to that end. If this is not the system of the party, they have none, and act extempore. I do acknowledge that I am not capable to form a correct judgment on the present politics of the world. The wide extent to which the present contentions have gone, will scarcely permit any observer to see enough in detail to enable him to form any thing like a tolerable judgment on the final result as it may respect the nations in general. But as to France, I have no doubt in saying, that to her it will be calamitous. Her conduct has made it the interest of the great family of mankind to wish the downfall of her present government:—Because its existence is incompatible with that of all others within its reach. And whilst I see the dangers that threaten ours from her intrigues and her arms, I am not so much alarmed, as at the apprehension of her destroying the great pillars of all government and of social life—I mean virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armour, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen, indeed. In vain may France shew and vaunt her diplomatic skill and brave troops: so long as our manners and principles remain found,
there is no danger. But believing as I do, that these are in danger, that infidelity in its broadest sense, under the name of philosophy, &c. is fast spreading, and that under the patronage of French manners and principles, every thing that ought to be dear to man, is covertly but successfully assailed—I feel the value of those men amongst us who hold out to the world the idea, that our continent is to exhibit an originality of character; and that instead of that imitation and inferiority which the countries of the old world have been in the habit of exacting from the new, we will maintain that high ground upon which nature has placed us, and that Europe should alike cease to rule us and give us modes of thinking. But I must stop short, or else this letter will be all preface.—These prefatory remarks, however, I thought proper to make, as they point out the kind of character amongst our Countrymen most estimable in my eyes. General Marshall and his colleagues exhibited the American character as respectable. France, in the period of her most triumphant fortune, beheld them unappalled. Her threats left them as she found them, mild, temperate, firm. Can it be thought that with these sentiments, I should utter any thing tending to prejudice General Marshall's election? Very far from it indeed. Independently of the high gratification I felt from his public ministry, he ever stood high in my esteem as a private citizen. His temper and disposition were always pleasant, his talents and integrity unquestioned.— These things are sufficient to place that Gentleman far above any competition in the district for Congress. But when you add the particular information and insight which he has gained, and is able to communicate to our public Councils, it is really astonishing that even blindness itself should hesitate in the choice—But it is to be observed, that the efforts of France are to loosen the confidence of the people every where, in the public functionaries, and to blacken characters most eminently distinguished for virtue, talents, and public confidence—thus smoothing the way to conquest, or those claims of superiority as abhorrent to my mind as conquest, from whatever quarter they may come.
Tell Marshall I love him, because he felt and acted as a Republican, as an American. The story of the Scotch merchants and old Tories voting for him is too stale, childish, and foolish, and is a French finess—an appeal to prejudice—not to reason and good sense. If they say in the day time, the sun shines, we must say it is the moon—if again, we ought to eat our victuals—no, we say unless it is ragout or fricasee , &c. &c. and so on to turn fools in the same proportion as they grow wise. But enough of such nonsense. As to the particular words stated by you said to come from me, I do not recollect saying them. But certain I am, I never said any thing derogatory to Gen. Marshall—but on the contrary, I really should give him my vote for Congress preferable to any citizen in the state at this juncture one only excepted, and that one is in another line. I am too old and infirm ever again to undertake public concerns. I live much retired, amidst a multiplicity of blessings from that Gracious Ruler of all things, to whom I owe unceasing acknowledgments for his unremitted goodness to me—And if I were permitted to add to the catalogue one other blessing, it should be, that my countrymen should learn wisdom and virtue, and in this their day to know things that pertain to their peace.
Farewell—I am, dear Sir, Yours, P. HENRY. A. BLAIR, Esq. To ARCHIBALD BLAIR, Esq. MOUNT-VERNON, 24th June, 1799. SIR, Your favor of the 19th inst. enclosing the copy of a letter from our deceased friend Patrick Henry, Esq. to you, dated the 8th of January last, came duly to hand;—for this instance of your polite attention. to me, I pray you to accept my thanks, and an assurance that the letter shall find a distinguished place in my bureau of public papers. At any time I should have received the account of this gentleman's death with sorrow. In the present crisis of our public affairs, I have heard it with deep regret. But the ways of Providence are inscrutable, not to be scanned by short sighted man, whose duty is submission, without repining at its decrees. I had often heard of the political sentiments expressed in Mr. Henry's letter to you, and as often wished that they were promulgated through the medium of the Gazette. The propriety or inpropriety of which measure, none can decide more correctly than yourself. But after what you have written to me, I feel an incumbency to inform you, that another copy of that letter has been either surreptitiously obtained, or fabricated; and more than probable is now in the press; for I was informed on the day preceding my receipt of your letter, that one was in the hands of a gentleman in this country, (Fair-fax) and that he had been asked to, and it was supposed would, have it printed.
My breast never harboured a suspicion that Mr. Henry was unfriendly to me, although I had reason to believe that the same spirit which was at work to destroy all confidence in the public functionaries was not less busy in poisoning private fountains and fowing the seeds of distrust among men of the same political sentiments.—Mr. Henry had given me the most unequivocal proof whilst I had the honor to command the troops of the United States, in their revolutionary struggle, that he was not to be worked upon by intriguers; and not concious that I had
furnished any cause for it, I could not suppose that without a cause, he had become my enemy since. This proof, contained in the letter to which you allude, is deposited among my files, but for want of a proper receptacle for them, which I mean to erect, they are yet in packages. When I shall be able to open them with convenience, I will furnish you with a copy of what passed between Mr. Henry and myself, in consequence of the attempt which was made by a party in Congress, to supplant me in that command, since you think they are not to be found among his papers, and wish to be possessed of them.—Your letter to me Sir, required no apology, but has a just claim to the thanks and gratitude of one, who has the honor to be, Your most obedient, (and for its contents) obliged, Humble Servant, GO. WASHINGTON.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S
Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infalible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Detroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Restorative Drops, Essence and Extract of Muskard, Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Dr. Hahn's infallible German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotion, Restorative Tooth Powder, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c.
