FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
FRANKLIN—No. III.
To the Citizens of Kentucky.
FELLOW CITIZENS;
Having endeavored to give the public a faithful picture of the prime conductors of the calumny disclosed in the Western World, it would be a disgusting waste of time to pursue the minions of the clan, and unfold their contemptible efforts to stab the reputation of some of our best citizens. But it so happens, that by the industry and petty exertions of the weaker and lesser tools, that we are led to a discovery of the real authors of the deep rooted slander.
Justice to the well earned reputation of Mr. Brown, has induced me to require of an impartial public, a candid examination of the circumstances attending the aggravated charges brought against him. It would be ungrateful and unjust to condemn a man, who has by twenty years service, deserved well of his country, merely on the bold and unfounded assertions of hireling printers, or the assassinating calumnies of a degraded and unworthy few. Convinced that Mr. Brown possesses a character infinitely superior to the united efforts of his accusers, it would perhaps be only necessary to leave his defence to time and the progress of truth. But unfortunately for innocence, the wide spreading influence of the press, will disseminate this wretched tale of conspiracy to the uttermost boundary of our union, and mankind are too much disposed to form premature and hasty opinions, and to accredit the wondrous history of mysterious plots unravelled and conspiracies detected. The shameless destroyer of character, may therefore for a time ride triumphant in his baseness. But there exists not a shadow of doubt in my mind, that the day will speedily arrive when the veil will be rent from those hidden accusers, and they will experience the detestation of every honest man, and their monument and delusive elevation, will the better prepare them for the fate of Lucifer.
Permit me now Fellow Citizens, to call your attention to the proofs adduced in support of the charge against Mr. Brown and others. The Editors of the Western World have artfully blended the case of this gentleman with that of General Wilkinson and Judge Sebastian, and have constantly intermixed their presumptive evidence; but let us examine the charges separately. The amount of the accusation against Mr. B. is, that he is said to have discovered a disposition to transfer the Government of the District of Kentucky to Spain; and as a compensation, was to be ennobled and enriched immensely—the evidence in support of this charge, rests on a letter written to Col. M c Dowel, and one to Col. Muter. It would be vain and nugatory to answer the numerous presumptions adduced by the Editors—their premises are substantially false, and their inferences necessarily so.
The best possible answers to the proof arising from those two letters, will be either the letters themselves, or the statements of those gentlemen. Col. M c Dowel in the very
integrity of his soul, has in the most explicit and unequivocal manner, acquitted Mr. Brown. To those who are acquainted with Col. M c Dowel, his certificate must be conclusive. To a reputation beyond the reach of calumny, this gentleman adds a long list of domestic virtues—he has grown grey in the maintenance of a vast and respectable train of children, grand children, and great-grand children, and forms an august pattern of virtue to our rising generation. The malignant and detested nest of calumniators, would fain enlist the name and character of this venerable patriarch, in their nefarious purpose of destroying the reputation of Mr. Brown. But behold the truth in full splendor, breaks forth upon the devoted heads of the slanderers, and Col. M c Dowel has inscribed falsehood in their foreheads, in characters indelible. To add weight to the evidence produced against Mr. Brown, the name of our Governor is exhibited—but behold he also has sunk the inscription deeper in their shameless fronts. The amount then of the evidence produced against Mr. Brown, is, that he, as the representative of Kentucky in Congress, communicated in a confidential manner, to a few of our most respectable citizens, a conversation he had with Gardoque, on the subject of commercial arrangements. It will be recollected that at that period, the people of Kentucky were actively and anxiously employed in endeavoring to obtain a separation from the state of Virginia, and to possess the free navigation of the Mississippi. Mr. Brown well knowing the extreme anxiety of his more immediate constituents on those important points, very properly communicated to them every overtire, and every means by which they could obtain those objects. If he had contemplated a transfer of the Government of his country to Spain, in exchange for commercial favors, and had really desired it, he would naturally have stated the proposition in its most favorable point of view, and would have used the most convincing arguments in his power, to prevail with his correspondents to promote his object. But we cannot discover a solitary inducement held out by him, either persuasive or argumentative—he states the overture from Gardoque, without comment, and we have no reason to believe that Gardoque ever dreamed of an union of the Government of Kentucky with Spain. He observed that until we are separate from the United States, we could not enjoy any greater privileges than those nations with which Spain was already connected by treaty.
Gardoque might have known as well as Mr. Brown, that it was not in the power of Kentucky to separate from the United States. Forming a part of the state of Virginia, that State and the United States had a control over us, and Virginia eventually made our admission into the Union a sine qua non, or an indispensable pre-requisite to the separation. It would have been senseless then to have solicited us to separate from Virginia without her consent—we had neither the inclination or power, we were a mere handful of men dispersed through a wilderness, strangers to each other, without organization, and having no common element, but defence against the Savages, and even that delusory and local.
We were attached to the Eastern states by ties of immediate interest; by blood, similarity of manners and language, and by early and fixed habits. Could it then be reasonably supposed, that two or three men could dissolve those ties by distant prospects of commercial advantages? At a time also when we had really nothing to take to market, and when we least felt the deprivation of commerce. It was not the immediate advantages of trade that produced our anxiety. It was a conviction of the natural and immutable justice of an undisturbed use of the western waters, that led us then and at all times, to persist in establishing our claim. We were not then or at any subsequent time, so deeply affected by the absence of commerce, as to induce us to sacrifice our peace and our connections with our Atlantic brethren. We relied on the broad basis of natural right, regardless of smaller considerations. It was principle and not the immediate necessity of traffic that urged us to unceasing solicitations for the free navigation of the Mississippi.
The folly and absurdity of an attempt on the part of those persons, charged as conspirators, to transfer
us to Spain, contains within itself, the most unanswerable argument against its existence. Those men are known to possess a full share of understanding with the most enlightened of our citizens, and their integrity is as little subject to question. What possible incentive could have induced them seriously to embark in a project so hazardous, and so preposterous. If General Wilkinson or Judge Sebastian, thought proper to enter into commercial contracts with the Spanish officers, for their mutual advantage, and those officers thought proper to furnish them with specie in exchange for the produce of our country; and if those contracts gave them exclusive privileges, we have no right to censure them for this conduct: If also those men had influence sufficient to draw large sums of money, on account of their contracts, either in advance or otherwise, it is not a concern of any man at this time.—We certainly have no right to intermeddle with their private business, scan their every step, and attribute a treasonable intent to every mysterious movement. Commercial men, of all others are the most enterprising; they are continually searching after new sources of wealth. In those attempts they are compelled to conceal their real objects, and to cover their designs in mystery; lest some formidable rival should wrest from them the fruits of their ingenuity and enterprise. But experience has taught us that many of those adventurers prove extremely beneficial, to the nation to which the individuals are attached, and great commercial establishments arise out of inconspicuous speculations. It is a fact, that General Wilkinson first gave a spring to our infant commerce; he had sufficient address, to induce the Spaniards to grant him almost the exclusive privilege of importing tobacco into their country. It was to us immaterial whether he was a Spanish officer, or agent; he opened a vent for our produce and we reaped the advantage. This is really and substantially the extent of the terrific conspiracy unfolded by those, who instead of opening the avenues of trade to our country, were employed in plotting destruction to the titles of their neighbours hard earned pittance of land. It is within the recollection of those citizens of Kentucky who resided here, about the period of this direful conspiracy, that three fourths of the trade of our country, passed through the hands of General Wilkinson; his activity and ingenuity, aided by his contracts with the Spanish officers, enabled him to handle a great proportion of the specie and produce in circulation at that time. And his ostentatious and luxurious mode of living, distributed his acquisitions with more rapidity than he could acquire them. His hospitality and profusion were a sure guarantee to the people of Kentucky against any attempts injurious to them; where money was the indispensable requisite; the main spring of action. The real conspiracy in which he was engaged, was against the dollars of Spain. He conspired by many a desperate effort, to transfer the dominion of those useful subjects from Spain to himself; in this conspiracy he was successful to the astonishment of every man. The people of Kentucky were aiding, assisting and comforting him, in this conspiracy; they received from him with alacrity and cheerfulness, all his gains; they felt no repugnance to the distribution of those numerous cargoes of dollars, remitted by Owens, Powers, or in the famous barrel, the contents of which were never seen by Capt. George.
It is to be feared, that this conspiracy has been more disfulve than the patrons of the Western World are aware of. The whole state of Kentucky is implicated; she has unquestionably been guilty, through the agency of Wilkinson, of transferring to the officers of the King of Spain, an immense mass of produce; and in return, has received, by a thousand insensible channels, some millions of dollars. But this important agent, Wilkinson, is to be consigned to eternal perdition, through the instrumentality, of the patriotic band of secret accusers, for the horrid crime of conspiring to enrich himself by his commercial and intriguing spirit. The fatigues, dangers and difficulties, to which this adventurous citizen was exposed, in exploring the avenues to commerce, and in providing for a rising family, weigh nothing with those who were quietly fattening on the spoils of an infant country. His real crime was that he became early convinced, that avarice, selfishness, and meanness were the true characteristics of

this band of accusers. This led him to a constant and uniform opposition to their innumerable acts of duplicity and oppression; and has entailed on him, with others, the united malevolence of their numerous family.
The editors of the Western World in order to excite the utmost horror and amazement at this most stupendous combination of five or six men, against the peace of the United States, the liberty of Kentucky, and the happiness of the Western country, have artfully and constantly blended, the private walks of some, with the public acts of all.

For the Kentucky Gazette.
TO HUMPHREY MARSHALL.
The Editor of the Kentucky Gazette has communicated to me, your demand of him, to give up the real name of the writer of a piece published in his paper of the 4th inst. signed "Independence." Considering myself justifiable in making the statement contained in that publication, and that I can give satisfactory reasons for my conduct, I had no hesitation in leaving my name with the printer.
The Editor is at liberty, and will give you my real name, upon your complying with the following conditions.
1st. That you will unequivocally declare, whether you are the real author of several pieces published in the Western World, signed "An Observer?" If you did not write all these pieces, which did you write?
2nd. That you will pledge yourself in a writing under your hand and seal, to be deposited with Mr. D. Bradford; that you will commence and prosecute to judgement, an action against the writer of "Independence," for the slander you suppose contained in the publication, and will state particularly the point or paragraph on which you intend to rely.
When these conditions are complied with, the printer will give you my proper name.
I never was ashamed to let my true situation be known; I never denied my name; I am always ready to support any charges by me exhibited, and to defend any attack, upon my character or person.
"INDEPENDENCE."
September 12th 1806.
TO "AN OBSERVER."
Finding that you have failed to comply with the conditions upon which the Editor was authorised to give up my real name, and that you continue to scribble and impose upon the world, your sentiments, under a fictitious signature, I feel myself compelled to address you, as one of the prominent patrons and supporters of the Western World. You have set the example and need not expect to escape; the curtain shall be raised, and you shall appear in your native & true colours. I will pursue you through all the mazes of your designing, treacherous, and nefarious conduct, and hold you up to public view, as a proper object to receive the execrations of an injured and insulted people.
You say that you had no hand or agency whatever in introducing, recommending, or establishing the Western World, except that you subscribed for one paper. Can you deny that you are now using all your aid, power and influence to its support? The occasional essays flowing from your pen, and which appear in almost every number of that paper, if they do not positively contradict your assertion, at least prove your aid and exertions to promote its objects. These essays portray the "unrelenting malice," and "deadly hatred," which you have borne certain characters, for many, very many years, and no doubt you rejoice, and with avidity embrace the opportunity offered you, through the medium of that scurrilous paper, to vent that malice and hatred, and to indulge that strong propensity for scribbling and scurrility, for which you have ever been famous.
Your attack upon the Editor of the Palladium, your addresses to Judges Muter and McDowell, your charges, or statement of facts against John Brown, the complexion and tenor of the whole of your writings, and particularly your essays in the 9th number of the Western World, conclusively shews that you have indirectly yielded, what you say you directly refused. Here at once we see your weakness and your duplicity. Have you not, in many public companies when among men of your own politics,
applauded the conduct of the Editors of the Western World? Have you not advocated, supported and corroborated their narratives? Will you upon your corporate oath declare that the facts which you say you have not forgotten, ever did exist? Will you depose that a party existed in 1788, whose object was to separate Kentucky from Virginia, and to connect it with Spain? No, you will pause before you answer in the affirmative—you will recollect that you have been publicly charged with being perjured. The sound is grating to your ears—you do not like to hear or see the word perjury.
You say you recollect the memorial of Gen. Wilkinson, presented to the Convention in 1788, and that the general in his speech in opposition to Dr. Brooks, advocated a separation from the union, and a connection with Spain. What was the purport of that memorial as you recollect it, you can certainly give its substance—the public want information on this subject. What kind of connection do you mean? Was it a connection by which Kentucky was to be subjugated and become a Spanish Province? Or was it a Commercial connection? If you mean the latter, why was it not so expressed? Or do you wish, by equivocal expressions, to deceive the public mind?
By telling what you have not forgotten, you offer to the public your evidence in support of the narrative in the Western World. You, like every other witness, are to be judged by your credibility—the credit of a witness is to be ascertained from his circumstances and standing in society, from his principles, and from his perfect indifference to the parties and point in question. Can you, upon your voir dire, declare that you are perfectly indifferent between the parties, the accusers and the accused?
As to your circumstances in life, you were once poor, but now you have a lordly estate, thousands of acres of land advertised to be tenanted by the indigent poor. Was this estate honorably acquired, by your different offices and advocacies, of Surveyor, Representative, Attorney at Law, Senator in Congress, Poet and Scribbler? Or was it acquired by speculations, peculations and malfeasance in office.
Your principles in public and private life have been questioned, and much censured—many of your crimes and enormities have been published to the world—I have lately reminded you of some, and will now call to your recollection a few more.
Have you forgotten that you were a member of the Legislature of this state, at the time you were elected a Senator in Congress, and that you concealed your opinions as to the Excise law, until you secured your election, and no sooner was that safe, than you came out boldly on the floor of the House of Representatives, in opposition to certain resolutions on that subject, and in justification of the policy and propriety of the act. You cannot have forgotten your votes in Congress in favour of the Stamp Act, British Treaty and Standing Army—these were strong federal measures, and clearly establish your principles. Your father-in-law was Supervisor, a different conduct in you, might have endangered the tenure of his office, the appointment to which, may probably be attributed to his correspondence on the subject of the Spanish conspiracy, &c. he no doubt expected retribution for the suspicions which he fabricated and circulated as to that plot.
He, I presume, is the sufficient character, who you say, "penetrated the designs, and counteracted the machinations of the Conspirators, and who they pursued with the most "deadly hatred," and "unrelenting malice," even to the "grave." Can you point out the act, or transaction, and by whom done, which evinces that "deadly hatred," and "unrelenting malice," with which you assert he was pursued? It is true, that from the manner in which he caused the Excise Law to be executed, he became extremely unpopular, and odious to the people of this country, as much so as to the law itself. He retired from office in the year 1797, and it is doubtful whether his accounts have yet been finally adjusted and settled. It was not my wish to cast any reflections on the dead; but you have drawn from me these observations—in peace might have rested his manes had not you first stirred the ashes.
You have for some time been politically buried; but your natural
discontent and restless ambition will not suffer you to pursue the humble walks of private life. Regardless of the means, you will attempt to rise, though the political fabric should be shaken to the centre. Can you with truth declare that you feel a perfect indifference as to the point in question? Can you say that you feel no interest in the success of the Western World? Have none of your occasional essays been produced by malice, hatred or ill will?
These enquiries are made merely to refresh your memory, which appears not to have forgotten what you wish to remember, and not to have remembered what you wish to be forgotten.

Sept. 16, 1806.
LONDON, June 25.
PRINCESS OF WALES.
Reports of the greatest delicacy and importance respecting this illustrious personage have been in circulation some days. Her infidelity to her husband has been the subject of general conversation. This is said to have originated in information given by Lady Douglas, in so solemn and circumstantial a manner, as to render it incumbent on the Prince of Wales to consult Counsel on the subject. He accordingly communicated the information to Lord Thurlow; at the same time observing, that he had declined paying the least attention to the report until it had been urged upon him, in the most forcible manner—His Lordship advised the Prince to lay the several allegations before his Majesty; which was done without comment or observation on his part. His Majesty immediately appointed a select Committee of his Privy Council to proceed to an investigation of the charge without delay. The committee is composed of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Spencer, Lord Ellenborough, and Lord Grenville. Lady Douglas has been examined before the Committee on oath. The Duke of Kent went specially to inform the accused of the nature and extent of the charge, and to notify that six other female domestics were required to appear before the committee. This immediately took place, and they were examined on oath. This illustrious Lady, on this occasion, observed, "I shall stand on my investigation; and, left it should be imagined I might tamper with my servants, I will discharge them all immediately."
Throughout the whole business we are able positively to state, that the Prince has behaved with the strictest decorum, and with an anxiety, that every possible means may be taken to assert the innocence and vindicate the character of the exalted personage. His Royal Highness, so far from being either prosecutor or accuser, has not even been a complainant in the case. Her Royal Highness yesterday paid Mr. Windham (Secretary of State) a visit; which also has excited attention. It is a proof that not the slightest distrust of the Cabinet, is entertained upon the case, and that her Royal Highness is confident of having done nothing that can possibly call for any proceeding on the part of Government, further than the present solemn inquiry, which was highly desirable, and as highly desired by her, for the purpose of shewing the total fallacy of the calumny, and those subsequent proceedings for the punishment of the calumniators, which will become an indispensable duty upon the acquittal.
TOBACCO MANUFACTORY.
JACOB LAUDEMANN, to his friends, and the public in general, that he has removed from Lexington, about three miles, on Henry's mill road, where he will carry on as usual. He will also keep a constant supply at Mr. Joseph Hudson's store, in Lexington, by wholesale and retail, opposite the court house, which will be sold on the lowest terms for cash; he will give from three to nine months credit, on giving bond with approved security. Persons supplying may be furnished with the different kinds of Snuff, Rappee and Scotch, all kinds of Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, and Segars, all of which I will warrant equal, as to quality, to any manufactured in the U. States.
BLUE DYING TO PERFECTION.
I WILL colour cotton, linen or wool, with a hot dye, and will warrant it to keep its colour—and because of the scarcity of cash, I have made my arrangements so as to enable me to take for pay, the following articles; corn, flour, meal, bacon, hemp, flax, country linen, and a variety of other articles. I have hoped no one will ask credit, as I shall keep no book, it will be necessary payment should be made when the truck is taken away.

ON Wednesday, 24th inst. the Students of Lexington Academy, will be examined upon the Languages, and some branches of the Sciences, beginning at 11 o'clock. They will exhibit the next day, beginning at the same hour.
To a correspondent. "A late Franklinites," cannot have a place unless the author's real name is left with the Editor. The piece contains other objections, which we could point out to the author, if he would call on us. Some of the low scurrility would find associates more congenial in another paper we could name.
MARRIED, on the 25th ult. at Centreville, Livingston county, Joseph Woods Esq. of Smithland, in said county, to the amiable Miss Jane West, daughter of Mr. Edward West, of this place.
In our last we gave it as our opinion that the next mail from Natches would furnish us with further intelligence relative to the conduct of the Spaniards. We are still of the same opinion—But when that mail will arrive, we are unable to state. Two are now due; and the failures during the summer have been so frequent, that we have kept no reckoning whereby we can ascertain the probable time when they may be expected.
Captain Stephen Decatur is at Newport, R. I. surveying the harbour for national purposes.
A Boston paper mentions that 600 pumps and wells in that city are dry.
Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron was off Antigua the 17th July, and intended to remain in that quarter for the protection of the islands, in case Jerome Bonaparte should suddenly return there.
LONDON, July 1. The Omnium was at twelve o'clock this day, at 6 1-2, and the other funds were in the same proportion. After our paper was put to press yesterday, we learned that dispatches had been received from France, forwarded by Lord Keith, from off Boulogne. We repeat, that a negotiation is in train, and that it is the cause of the improved state of the funds.
Rumour states, that the lords, who compose the secret committee, have completed the important state inquiry, to which they were delegated under the king's privy seal, and are expected to make a report of their proceeding to his majesty at Buckingham house to-morrow. We understand that such report will be confined to the minutes of evidence taken before them, without any opinion whatever founded thereon. It will remain, therefore, with the sovereign, to take such further steps as, under the advice of his privy council, his majesty may deem expedient.
Negotiation.—The rise of stocks has occasioned some speculation, which has at the same time operated as a cause. We believe that the vast sums lodged within these few weeks by foreigners in our funds, have produced the rise in their price. The reflux of money has been the result of two causes; the first, the exemption of foreign property from the income tax; the latter, the hostility deeply felt, though fully expressed, of the Dutch to their new monarch.
