MR. BRADFORD,
Since your press is open to accusations against me, I have a right to demand of you the publication of such matter as I may deem proper for my defence. And since you have been proper to give place to a renewal of a charge of perjury, long since refuted, I require of you the publication of the enclosed pamphlet, which contains the refutation, in your Gazette; in order that the same vehicle which conveys the poison may also apply the antidote. The rest of the slander I shall notice in due time.
H. MARSHALL.
Sept. 21, 1806.
TO THE HONOURABLE GEORGE MUTER, AND BENJAMIN SEBASTIAN.
YOUR honors having declined the proposals made you in my letter of October 20th,* for terminating the dispute between us; I shall not wait the slow process of a law suit, to which I cannot possibly attend; (besides, you know you have your party, and you make a court of appeals;) but resting the matter between us, before that tribunal where you have brought it, THE PUBLIC, shall make haste, by a statement, and publication of facts judicially collected, in the case you allude to in your publications, to shew that your assertions, are groundless, and malicious. With respect to the fraud, I shall publish a pamphlet some time since written; in which I shall prove, that the points upon which the court gave their decree, are not supported by the proofs, or exhibits in the cause. And if you mean that the perjury is included in the same points with the fraud—then a refutation of the last, will prove the non-existence of the former. To that, then, I must refer my readers, for both, so far as those points extend, which must be full as to the fraud—because the court have said judicially—that it is on those three facts, as they are pleaded to call them, that they found the decree. But perhaps it may be said, that the perjury is somewhere else; since the charge made by Wilkinson's attorney at the bar, to which you allude in your pamphlet, was rested more particularly on other points—which, however, you have not thought sufficiently material to mention in your judicial opinion—and in your late publication you have not had the candor to specify any particular case; but having made a general assertion, are modest enough to decline a public investigation, after being the first to commit these slanders to the press; and after having taunted me with not bringing forward in any mode these matters for public enquiry. I shall not give myself the time, or the trouble to develope your motives for this conduct.
But recurring in imagination to the transactions at the bar on the trial of this cause between general Wilkinson and myself, I shall from memory bring into public view, two points upon which I recollect the charge of perjury was made against me. If there are any others—again I call upon you to make them out. And to these points, I shall bring the evidence which appeared to the court, and after making such observations as I think pertinent, shall leave the decision to the public.
The perjury is said to have been committed in the answer in chancery, filed by me to the bill of James Wilkinson. The suit being about a contract for land, the bill is silent as to the place where this contract was entered into, or finally ratified. The answer has the following recital—"The said Wilkinson and this defendant accordingly met in the Surveyor's office, where these entries were made, and where the surveys made thereon were then recorded, at which time and place, they exchanged bonds," &c. Here it was said I had committed a wilful and corrupt perjury: It appearing by a certificate from Mr. Parker, the then Surveyor of Fayette, who had the books of office in his care, that a survey for some other person, the date of which was subsequent to the contract, had been entered of record, prior to one of the surveys made on the said entries, alluded to in the answer. And this was all the evidence as to the fact.
* This letter is published at the end of this publication.
There were four of those surveys in the whole. The following depositions are in support of the answer. William Marshall, in his deposition, speaking of a conversation which passed prior to the contract, in the presence of Wilkinson, and Fowler, the latter of whom, he adds, after the said surveys of James Monroe, (being those spoken of in the answer) had been admitted to record, &c. And the honorable James Monroe, in his deposition, reciting transactions that had taken place previous to the contract, relative to his lands in Kentucky, says, "between 19, and 20,000 acres had been located, surveyed, and patented for him by the defendant, &c. that being the whole amount of the surveys in question. And every body knows, that a survey must have been recorded, before it could be registered, or a patent issued for it. And Charles Marshall in his deposition is explicit, that those surveys had been returned to the office, long before the contract. He and his brother William being, at the time they were returned, clerks in the office. But, indeed, the fact of those surveys being returned to, and in the office, at the time of the contract, has not been questioned. The perjury was said to consist, in my having stated in my answer, in the manner before shown, that these surveys, were then recorded. In support of the charge was the certificate of Mr. Parker—In support of the answer, were the depositions of William Marshall, and James Monroe; which both speak of these surveys, as having been recorded previous to the contract. But supposing that all were mistaken in this respect, and that one of the surveys was not at that time actually on record: it is a fact not noticed in the bill; it is noticed, but incidentally, in the answer; and not as a response to an interrogatory—or as a counter statement of the same fact in the bill. It is not noticed in the opinion of the court, which they say, contains the points material to come at the merits of the cause. The truth is, that it is a fact, as totally immaterial in the cause, as it would have been to have inserted in the answer, that the moon was made of cheese. For it is no where said in the answer that Wilkinson examined the record book, as to this, or any other survey—And it being in the office which has not been questioned, it was equally accessible to him, as if it had been on record; had he been disposed to have examined it. All Monroe's surveys, having been executed early in the Spring 1785, and returned to the office.—It was very natural for those who had been partly concerned with them, without a particular examination, to suppose that they were all recorded; and hence easily, as innocently, fall into the error, if it be one, contained in the answer, and in the depositions of Wm. Marshall, and the honorable James Monroe—if it be a perjury in one, for it is in each—if innocent in the one, why not in all?
But certainly nothing but malice, and the vilest propensity to slander, would induce any man to say that it was a perjury in either. I have always understood, that a perjury could be committed only, in some material fact in question.—This fact must appear totally immaterial. The surveys in question should by the law, and by the rules of the office at all have been recorded long before the contract. If they were not then recorded I cannot recollect to what circumstance it was owing. But if they were not, and the proof of that constitutes the perjury; I can only say that I never have been conscious of it—and that it does appear to me, to be one of the most silly, unguarded—and unmeaning things of the kind; that ever was committed. No less, than three clerks in the office that year, any of whom might have detected it. And admitting that it was not open to detection; yet it was a fact of no sort of consequence to the property in question—of no sort of consequence to the cause.
If this be a perjury what is the following instances of error, in point of fact, in the bill? that being also sworn to and admitted by your honors as evidence for the complainant, contrary to every just rule of evidence both at law, and in chancery.
Bill states, "that of two entries for 25,625 acres there had before the contract, been actually surveyed the quantity of 19,308 acres." The following, are all the surveys, and they contain the ensuing quantities, viz. One for 8,262; one for 5,625; one for 4,584; and one
other for 833 acres, now add these numbers together till dooms-day, and they will only produce an aggregate, of 19,304 acres. Consequently, the whole quantity actually surveyed at that time, falls in number, four short of the quantity stated in the bill; which therefore is not true in fact. But I own I should be ashamed of myself had I ever been capable of calling this a perjury. The bill further states, that Wilkinson purchased Marshall's moiety of the said 19,308 acres, at the price of £. 11,98. Here again repeating the former error in fact; and asserting a new one. For it appeared by an account stated, and filed, in the cause by Wilkinson, that he gave £. 1200 for that moiety. Which was the fact. Your honors will doubtless call these perjuries. Why have they not discredited the bill? And why have you not published them to the world? But without your answering these questions, I believe you may count upon your being taken, for a band of as famous Judges as falsehood, partiality, and injustice can make you.
The other part of the answer upon which the charge of perjury was repeated with so much declamation, is as follows—"This defendant further states to your Honors, that in giving his opinion with respect to the quantity of land that would be obtained by Monroe's claims; the said surveys of Merry Walker, for 12,470 acres, and 5,130 ditto, and the survey of Robert Johnson for 8,115 acres. And also the survey of Tebbs and Young for 15,000 acres, were expressly excluded from any consideration, by the assent of the said Wilkinson, who had previously agreed to take all risk as to them upon himself &c."—And here it was alleged that the perjury consisted in this—that the answer affirmed that Wilkinson had taken all risk, as to the claims above enumerated, on the condition of a bond from Tebbs and Young, they were bound to convey to Monroe, so much of their survey, as fell within Monroe's entry; (the bond having been taken by me, on a supposition, that there was an interference; and Monroe's claim being the oldest, tho' Tebbs and Young had made the first survey) and that consequently there was no risk as to that particular claim; and that therefore Wilkinson could not have agreed to take any risk as to that upon himself. At the same time, it was not denied, that he had taken Monroe's claims, subject to those others, and this in particular such as they were. And it was conceded too by the same men, that Monroe's surveys were badly made and that he would lose the land by those and other claims: And the court in giving their opinion upon which they expressly, in part, found their decree; they say, that a considerable part of Monroe's lands were surveyed contrary to location; and therefore, so far as this is the case, it can never be preserved before Walker's, Johnson's, or any other claim, for which a patent has been obtained—"Here the court enumerate, and include those very claims as being better than Monroe's. But this is in order to fix the fraud on me; when the perjury is to be charged, there is no risk from them; at any rate, from that of Tebbs and Young. Why then have not your honors made an exception as to that? And said, that as it appears Tebbs and Young has given a bond to convey to Monroe, so much land as their survey includes in his entry—that therefore if he has run his survey contrary to location, they shall nevertheless convey to him. This would indeed have been run as it would. This would have shown in fact, that there was no risk as to the claim of Tebbs and Young. Your honors then would have been consistent. But you have done the very reverse of this, and said judicially, that Monroe's lands were run contrary to location, and that his claim could not be preferred before any other for which a patent had issued. There is no doubt a patent had issued for that of Tebbs and Young. And thus have you shown that there was great risk as to those claims separately, or together.
But let us suppose that there was in fact no risk, as to the claim of Tebbs and Young, in particular: What does the answer say? Does it affirm that there was a particular risk as to the claim of Tebbs and Young; and that it was that parti-
cular risk, which Wilkinson had agreed to take upon himself? The answer affirms no such thing. The answer having stated the several claims of Walker, of Johnson, and of Tebbs and Young, says, that Wilkinson agreed to take all risk as to them, upon himself. Does the expression all risk, mean more risk than there was; or less; or just as much as there was? Let the risk be little, or much—to me the words of the answer, all risk, means just as much as there was, and neither more nor less, in those surveys collectively—not in any one distinct from the rest. Had it indeed been proved, that I had represented to Wilkinson any particular quantity of risk in those surveys; and it had appeared that there was in fact, more than I represented. This might have been urged as a fraud, and even a perjury. But if there was in fact, less risk than I had represented, the difference being altogether in his favour, could not possibly have been called a fraud; nor yet a perjury. How much less then can the charge of perjury be supported against me in this case, where the expression used, neither represents the risk greater nor less than it was—but simply affirms, that such as it was, Wilkinson agreed to take it upon himself—and that he did agree to take all risk upon himself is not denied—and the court say expressly, that as to these lands of Monroe's, it was, a risking bargain . It does seem to me, since these cases are exposed—the public will not believe that these can be the parts of the answer, upon which the charge of perjury is founded. I can say, that if it is not in these points; nor in those which the court have made, as the foundation of the fraud, and of which I have already spoken—I am utterly at a loss to know whereon they mean to found it, and shall give myself no further trouble about it, until I see a specification of the charge: I have no pretensions to infallibility; I may even now omit to mention some point upon which this charge of perjury was reiterated at the bar. But if I should, you will no doubt supply the defect—and when you do it shall meet my notice.—It may be too, that I have, and may again mistake a fact; but I never can be convinced that I can commit a perjury without knowing it. If this is the principle you go on; and to speak the most charitable of you, should you be put to the test of your own rule; your honors alone can furnish a plentiful crop of perjuries, from your own official acts. Have you not sworn to do justice impartially, according to law and equity? Did you decide according to law, or equity, in the case of Kenton and M'Connell? In the first instance you two made the decree most expressly against both law and equity; I will now say upon my own exposition of the case, as well as upon the final decree. Sebastian, it is true, stuck to his inequity; and thereby supported his consistency at the expense of justice. But Muter, after the most mature consideration and solemn decision one way, as demurred, and as solemnly reversed his decree; after having declared there was no more light to be thrown on the subject. If you were right at first Muter; what have you done at last? If you are now right; what wickedness prompted you to give the first judgment. Did you not act on oath both times? Such men should be modest, and leave it to others, to exhibit charges of perjury. Again, tho' it was Muter and Wallace, in that case; in stating the facts as the court have called them, upon which they give their decree between general Wilkinson, and myself: Do you not think that your oath bound you to state facts truly? As much to no doubt as the oath of a Juror binds him—read my address to the people of Kentucky, you will there see where you have stated two important facts, falsely. What name does your honour give to such fallhoods? Again in the same cause were you not sworn to do justice, a agreeable to law, and equity? and see the certificate at the end of the book, signed by a number of the most respectable lawyers in Virginia. Do you believe that you committed a perjury in these cases? then there need be no disagreement about it, but if you don't believe it, and perjury can be committed without its being known to the party; I know no men more liable to be charged with it for their conduct, than your honors—and some who appear to be favorites with you.
But a word of comfort to you, if you have committed those violati-
ons, not knowing the contrary, with the full evidence before you—then you should have candor enough to admit that another might err, as to facts not material, when speaking from memory, without incurring the least imputation of guilt. Nay I would not charge Wilkinson with perjury, upon the following cases arising in his bill, altho' filed on oath. The bill states the 400 acres (mentioned in the contract) adjoining William Haydon's pre-emption. When it was known to Wilkinson both from the bond and deed for this 400 acre tract, that it was actually a part of that pre-emption. But by the representation given of it in the bill, it might have been taken for some other. What do your honors call this? Again, the bill states a second bond to which Horatio Turpin became security to Wilkinson, for the sum of 640l. payable, &c. with interest, &c. all which, it is affirmed in the bill, will more fully appear by a statement of the contract thereunto annexed. Now it does not appear by the statement referred to, that Turpin was security to Wilkinson in that bond—or, that it was to carry interest—yet there are two distinct facts asserted in the bill; and a variety of other instances similar to these are to be pointed out, where the error in fact is palpable; besides some which immediately affect the merits of the case. But it is not now my object to expose the bill; and I have produced the foregoing cases only to ask your honors, what in your candid moments, if you ever have any, you would call them? We know already what your malice is capable of doing.
If I have sometimes confounded Wallace with Sebastian, or Sebastian with Wallace, it is no matter—for really they are so much alike, in the goodness of their principles, and the justice of their decisions, when either interest or prejudice is in the way; that the difference is not worth the distinction. One farewell compliment and I am done with your honors; you will not suspect that I mean to flatter you, for as I hope to have credit, I shall tell you the plain truth. I have enumerated instances of your fallhood; of your partiality; of your justice. As judges are you not weak, or corrupt? As men, are you not malicious, slanderous, and revengeful? A candid review of your conduct must contrain an answer in the affirmative.

On Saturday the 14th inst. departed this life at Columbia, Adair county, Mr. JOHN STEVENSON, Merchant, of that place. Mr. Stevenson resided some time in this town, with Messrs. Macoun and Tilford, where he formed several acquaintances; all of whom speak of his goodness of heart, and uprightness of deportment, in the highest terms; and lament his death, as a loss to society.
Died at Philadelphia on the 4th inst. in the seventieth year of his age, Charles Pettit, esquire, president of the Insurance Company of North-America.
A proposition of immense importance to the citizens of Lexington and vicinity, is before the public. It is the erection of a Steam Mill in this town. Mr. Throckmorton, who offers the proposal, will attend at Mr. Wilson's tavern, on Monday next, to explain his plans and receive subscriptions for the undertaking.
It is stated in the Eastern papers that the negotiation with Spain for the Floridas has failed. It is also said that the Marquis De Yrujo is re-appointed Spanish Minister.
We are informed, that Mr. Triplett, an attorney of Middletown, in Jefferson county, put an end to his existence on Tuesday last night, by hanging himself on a tree, with his saddle strings and stirrup leathers.

Captain Wilson arrived yesterday in 36 days from Gibraltar, informs that intelligence had reached that place the day before he sailed, of an engagement having taken place between the French and Neapolitan troops before Gaeta, which had terminated very unfavourable for the French, they having experienced great loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides the destruction of the besieging Batteries, which had taken them several months to erect.

Captain Driver, who arrived here this morning from Algeziras, which place he left the 23d July, informs us, that it was said that the Spaniards were immediately to enter Portugal; that thirteen regiments at Algeziras were in readiness to march for that object, at a moment's notice. In our marine list, our readers will perceive that the Spaniards have commenced the old system of depredation on American commerce. Our treaty with Spain says that free ships shall make free goods, unless these vessels were laden with contraband articles, there could be no legal cause of condemnation of their cargoes.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 8.
General Miranda.—By the arrival of the brig Vigilant, captain Christie in 19 days from Kingston, (Jam.) we are furnished with files of Jamaica papers to the 15th of August. On the 12th of August, the Schooner Stag, Ekell, arrived at Kingston, in 4 days from Aruba, bringing intelligence that General Miranda, after all the difficulties he had met with, had at last effected a landing on the Main, and had taken Coro. The following particulars are from our Kingston papers:
KINGSTON, August 12.
By the Schooner Stag, we learn that General Miranda, in the Landers, accompanied with thirteen vessels, among which there were one or two ships, had arrived on the coast of South America, and landed near Coro, of which he had got possession, and, by the reports prevalent at the departure of the Stag from
Aruba, had been successful in several engagements with the Spaniards, and was penetrating into the country.
August 13.
We yesterday mentioned the arrival of the expedition under General Miranda, on the Spanish Main, and his subsequent success; we are now, however, enabled to state the particulars somewhat more accurately. While captain Ekell was taking in his cargo, at Cape St. Roman on the Spanish coast, an overland dispatch was received there, containing accounts of General Miranda having effected a landing at Coro, (which is said to be only 12 miles from Aruba) that he had captured it, and was proceeding up the country. It was also asserted, that he was daily joined by the Spaniards, and had several skirmishes with the government forces, in all of which he had been successful. The gentleman who furnished the cargo for the Stag, informed the captain of her, that he was obliged to be under arms the next morning at day-light, as every person not found in arms against Miranda were considered as his accomplices, and instantly executed. Miranda is aided by a British force, but the exact number not ascertained. He had been joined by a British frigate.
Naval Engagement.—Captain Reading, who arrived this morning from Cuba, has given us the following interesting extract from his log-book:
August 24, at 6 A. M. the Moro Castle bearing S. S. W. distant 2 or three leagues, saw a Spanish frigate turning to windward for the Havana. A strong N. E. current, and the wind at S. W. obliged her to anchor under a battery about 2 leagues from the Moro, where she was immediately reinforced by 10 gun-boats from the Havana, which formed a line with her under cover of the battery. At 8 o'clock, two British frigates hove in sight. Several shots were fired at them from the Moro Castle, which they little regarded—they shortened sail, and hove too seemingly to have communication with each other. At the same time the Spanish frigate's boats had great communication on shore, and we learnt were landing money which they had brought from the Gulph of Mexico. At 24 minutes past 10, the two English frigates bore down towards the battery under which the Spanish force had formed a line. At 40 minutes past 10, the Spanish gun-boats opened a heavy fire upon the headmost English frigate, which was soon followed by the frigate and battery. At 52 minutes past 10, the Arethusa, who led the van of the English, opened a heavy and well directed fire upon the Spanish line. At 57 minutes past 10, the sternmost English frigate came up and commenced a tremendous fire upon the Spanish frigate, which soon occasioned her to strike her colours—the flood the fire of the British 15 minutes. Two of the gun-boats were blown up, five were sunk, and three were driven on shore. The frigates then let go their anchors and silenced the fort. They manned their prize at half past 1 P. M. cut her cables, got her out, and hauled off to repair damages. The Anson soon after fired two shots at us, brought us to, and ordered us under the Commodore's stern, which we obeyed. He ordered our boat out, and then desired the captain to come on board with his papers. The Arethusa supplied us with a boat of water, and sundry other necessaries, and otherwise treated us with every degree of politeness—they then gave us liberty to proceed, but not to go into any Spanish port. The Arethusa, captain Brittain, had two men killed and ten wounded; the Anson, captain Ledyard, none. The Spanish frigate La Pomona, 40 guns, had her captain killed; and it is believed that 200 Spaniards were destroyed in the action.
From the Petersburg Republican.
It is for the interest of the American people to view attentively the present state of Europe, and compare it with their own enviable situation. What a contrast does it afford—pleasing to themselves—melancholy to the afflicted states of the old world. Twenty years ago, the nations of Europe were generally at peace, and apparently happy, under the auspices of their several kings, princes and potentates. Order reigned in their several dominions, and the demon of war and confusion was confined to a few powers. Favored by this tranquillity, and inspired by a knowledge of the blessings which America enjoy-
ed under a republican form of government, France resolved to burst the adamant chains of despotism, and adopt a state of things, more congenial to the temper and disposition of her citizens. The power of the king was consequently greatly abridged, and the inherent rights of the people began to advance in a proportionate ratio. The potentialities of Europe, alarmed at the rapid strides which the French people were making towards an amelioration of their condition, began to interfere in the internal arrangements of France; and thus laid the foundation of those mighty wars and revolutions, which have since distracted that portion of the world.
Austria, Spain, Holland, Prussia—in fine, the powers of the continent generally, entered into a league against France, resolving to crush the genius of liberty in the bud, and divide the French territory among themselves, as a part of them had previously done the kingdom of Poland. Geo. III. followed the general example, for a spark from the flame of liberty had animated the "sea girt isle," and the spirit of the ancient Britons was once more kindling into a flame, that threatened destruction to the cause of kings. Thus leagued, Europe presented a mighty host of tyrants, rushing on with impetuosity to the sacrifice of their victim. France, agitated within by a powerful faction, engendered and nourished by the gold of Britain, and devoted to the Bourbons, was menaced without by the sanguinary legions of combined Europe, and thus thrown into a fatal confusion. The Goddess of liberty, who presided over their first exertions, became disgusted at the licentiousness of her new votaries, and again forsook the old world for her favorite residence in the western hemisphere. Faction succeeded faction—the Brissotines, the Murats, and the Robespierres, had their day—the national convention and the directory, were succeeded by the consulate; which in its turn, made way for a military despotism; and France, whose destiny was prematurely marked out by the treaty of Pilnitz, became, in her turn, the despoiler of Europe.
The crowned heads of Europe—alas! where are they? Humbled, and at the foot of victorious France. The German confederation is destroyed—Italy is revolutionized—Holland, Spain, Switzerland, and the petty principalities of Germany, have become the mere fiefs of France—Russia is driven dishonorably from the field—and the once gigantic power of the house of Austria, is buried in the "tomb of the Capulets!"—Prussia is the instrument of Bonaparte—Hanover is wrested from Geo. III.—the Hanseatic towns are under the authority of France—in short, Europe, with the exception of England, is at the mercy of the Corsican usurper; and even England has become disgraced, and on the very brink of bankruptcy.
Such has been the issue of a war, undertaken in defence of the "just and necessary" cause of kings. What a lesson does this picture afford to the American people! France lost her freedom, by the jealousy of the tyrants who surrounded her; and English gold has been lavished for the same purpose in this country—well knowing that factions are the bane of republics. Let us then avoid the wars and convulsions of Europe. The genius of freedom presides alone where peace and tranquility reign. On the lofty pines of the Alleghany the eagle of liberty is perched, whose wings extend from the Missouri to the Atlantic—whose influence is felt from Maine to Louisiana.
Let us avoid war, "as a curse to any people," so long as we can have peace honourably; But we must not have a "peace like a war." We are desirous of cultivating harmony with the whole world; but to attain this object, national honour should not be sacrificed? We have already suffered much; and the national pulse begins to beat high—yet, let us hope we shall remain at peace with honour to ourselves. England will not rush, with thoughtless impetuosity, to the commission of new outrages. Her political welfare, and the prosperity of her subjects, forbid it. But we must prepare for the worst, and, like our fathers, bravely struggle for the liberty and independence of America, or sink with them into an honourable grave.

MR. BRADFORD, After sixteen years since Dr. FRANKLIN's death, I have been rather surprised to see an enquiry upon his sentiments as to christianity. I have read his Life and have seen a man whose genius and morals did him honor as a youth; I followed him as a statesman; I beheld him superior to all the politicians of that period; confounding the intrigues of all the European courts; admired and respected by them; contributing more than any other to the acknowledgment of Independence of his country. I read his works, and found a man of the greatest useful knowledge, whose discoveries will rank him among the benefactors of mankind; from that dignified station I saw him descending to that of a benevolent teacher of the poor, and his Almanack of good man Richard, has been read by the peasants of France and England, who knew and venerated his name more than the Philosophers do that of NEWTON. I attended him on his return home, and saw him consecrate his last hours to his country: I read his will and shed tears of respect, love and admiration for the benevolent genius who had wrote; after that I did not enquire whether he was a christian, for two reasons. 1st Because a man is born a citizen of the world before he is of any religion. 2d. Because, religion is a thing between God and man, man alone has a right to enquire for our opinions on that head.
In fine, I am inclined to believe that he who preferred the Samaritan because he was benevolent to the Levite and Pharisee that were not, will forgive Dr. Franklin for his errors, if he was in any.
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
Deal justly with all, for an honest man is the noblest work of God."
MR. GEO. HAMILTON, SEN. who is well known in Fayette county, to those who have been so unfortunate as to have any dealing with him, that did not terminate entirely to the with of his discerning mind, has, from some of his late barefaced unfairness towards me, with respect to a recent settlement that took place between us, induced me to give a sketch of the same to the public, that no honest, credulous being, may be, by his appearance of honesty and upright demeanor, imposed upon.
For several years I have carried on a distillery, as I do now when the season is favorable. To my distillery, Geo. Hamilton, being a man of respectable possessions, had access personally, and by his orders, which were all verbal and numerous, got and carried away what whiskey he wanted for his family's use, and to regale and animate his friends, the flaggery sons of Bacchus. My stiller was a slave, to whom I had given orders to let Mr. Hamilton have what whiskey he wanted, not suspecting that he was capable of acting the part he did, the principles of which must have been borrowed from the nocturnal shades of satan's domains.
Last spring I proposed a settlement to Mr. Hamilton, to which he consented—I produced my account of whiskey he had gotten, which he did not hesitate to deny, knowing I suppose from his experience in law, and by referring to similar cases which he might have been engaged in, that it was impossible for me to prove my account, without the admission of the distiller's testimony, which he also knew from experience was contrary to the laws of this state, for he is generally known to be no novice in the science of his law, the leading traits of which are the most glaring injustice.
He had gotten whiskey from my distillery in pints, quarts, half gallons, &c. to the amount of 19 or 20 gallons, which I gratuitously bestowed upon him, as a sacrifice due to the knowledge of the man—not being able to prove he had gotten the whole. Still I might have had testimony, (without which he settles no account however just) if his hat, the pledge of his wants, could have spoken when it accompanied his order, who was unknown to me. After I discovered Mr. H. was determined not to settle with me on principles of honorable fairness, I told him if he was so resolved, I should be reduced to the necessity, however disagreeable, of compelling him by law. He bade me do it with exulting raptures, for he glories in his own law, which is what I before mentioned. I thought I could discover some masked design in the venerable traces of his aged features—I knew him before, therefore found tenable grounds for my suspicion. If Mr. H. had been a man of honor, possessing principles of honesty and fairness, I never should have taken this method of arraigning his conduct before a discerning public, where the blackness of his deeds must paint the man in his true colours, nor yet before the magistrates of Fayette county.
I am near 60 years of age, and it is well known in every neighbourhood where I have resided, that I do not possess a spirit of litigation, that I am not a troublesome man, as our magistrates tell Geo. Hamilton he is publicly, that this is the only solitary case of the kind that I ever have been engaged in since I became an inhabitant of this state. Still the nefarious man, if as devoid of
truth, as honesty, endeavors to impeach my character, and blast it in the estimation of those who were present at our trial, and discovered his drift and disappointed his aim, by publicly telling me with a sarcastic smile "to recollect my conduct in the settlement when I kept a black-smith's shop—that I had carried my books before 'Squire Robinson, (whose certificate I have hereunto annexed for the satisfaction of George and the public) that he told me to carry my old books home and burn them and make new ones." Endeavoring to impress the minds of the spectators with the belief that I had kept false books; but Mr. Robinson's certificate, which I here subjoin, will show how far credit may be attached to the words or declarations of Mr. H.
CERTIFICATE.
These are to certify to all to whom it may concern, that I have been acquainted with William Sanderson since he was a young lad, and never knew anything, nor knew of my own knowledge any thing made appear against his moral character, nor to my remembrance was his books brought before me, as a judge, during the whole time I was in office. Given under my hand this 25th day of August, 1806.
GEO. ROBINSON, Sen.
To conclude my remarks I, the complainant, was jockeyed out of about 14 dollars justly due me, brought in debt ten dollars with costs, most of which I had before paid, but was unable to prove our previous settlement. Oh George! blush at thy iniquities, and remember that he who is vicious and unjust in his practices towards his fellow creatures, has a wicked heart and a diseased head. I do not design injuring Mr. Hamilton by this publication—it is attribute which I owe to justice, to myself, and the public—I only wish to remind Mr. Hamilton, that justice is necessary to the young, to the aged honorable, to the poor serviceable, and to the rich an ornament.
I am his, and the public's, humble servant, WM: SANDERSON.

TO A FISH OF THE BROOK. From Peter Pinder's New Old Ballads
WHY fleest thou away for fear? Trust me there's nought of danger near: I have no wicked hook, I cover'd with a snaring bait, Alas! to tempt thee to thy fate, And drag thee from the brook.
O harmless tenant of the flood: I do not wish to spill thy blood; For nature unto thee, Perchance, have given a tender wife, And children dear to charm thy life, As she hath done for me.
Enjoy thy streams, O harmless fish! And when an angler, for his dish, Thro' gluttony's vile sin, Attempt—a wretch—to pull thee out, God give thee strength, O gentle trout! To pull the rascal in.

A gentleman one morning waited on the first physician in that city, and requested he would prescribe for a disease to which he was not merely a subject, but a victim—Melancholy. "Melancholy," replied the doctor: "You must go to the Theatre, and Carlini will soon dissipate your gloom, and enliven your spirits." "Dear Sir," said the patient, seizing the doctor by the hand, "excuse me, I am Carlini myself; at the moment I convulse the audience with laughter, I am the prey of the disease I came to consult you on."

FROM the commons of this city, on Tuesday night the 3d of June last, three HORSES, of the following description: A dark bay, about seven years old, fourteen hands high or upwards, branded on the left shoulder H, the skin rubbed off both shoulders by the gears, and has a blemish in the left eye; newly shod all round.
A sorrel, between thirteen and fourteen hands high, three years old this spring, both hind feet white, a small star in his forehead, bob tail, and had a sore on the top of his shoulders.
A small grey, about thirteen hands high, seven years old, dark mane and tail, his mane hangs on the left side, and his hind parts incline to the colour of an iron grey; he is branded on the left thigh, but the brand is scarcely intelligible—just above the brand there is a deep scar.
The above horses were all in tolerable order. I have no doubt but they were taken to Tennessee or Kentucky.

Elegance combined with Utility, in Willis's New Fashioned SHOES.

Ladies here I beg to mention, (Claimants of his first attention) Handsome shoes in every part, Is Willis's master piece of art—He shoes does make, which Queens might handle.

Believing this the best expedient, He now remains their most obedient. RICHARD WILLIS, Two or three Apprentices will be taken to the above business. Lexington August 18, 1806.
