LETTER TO MAzZEL.

= The following letter, in the o.
pH,ion of fome, is al objection
10 the election Of Mr.. JeferEon
as PRECEDENT. 1t has been hand
ed about, from one apiitocratical
paper to another, throughout the
United States. The enemies Of
liberty have charged the writing
of this letter directly to Dir. JET
ferlon, who has never condel-
cended either to acknowledge or
deny it.-They have expected to
eltabiiih it by three points.
/. That Mr.. ]. being the Vice Pre-
iident OF the United States had
endeavored 10 difgrace his coun-
try, by declaring that an EngIiih
party did exit in it.
,. That Mr.. Jelferfon was violent
enemy to our federal conltituti
on, having declared, as alledged
III tiilS ietter, that it mad the t0TM
OF the Britifh government.
). That, if elected, Mr.. ]. would
attempt to deltroy our conititu-
tior, inafmuch as he coniidercd
it ola monarcticaI joym.
TO expoie the hameful fraud, and
the iallacious reckoning of rhe
publiihers of this letter, l have
attached to it the well written
itEi6tureS which follow it, and feel
confident, that iftound argument
and fair & candid reckoning. are
entitled to cool and deliberate
coniider alton, that they will meet

citizen that wiihes 10 form his o.

THE LETTER TO MAZzEI.
Copy # a letter, JMd ia be z0ritten BY
Mr.. Te6sry6n, to Mr.. Mazzei,
rsldsnt in Tujcany.

OUR political ftuation is prodi
giouAy changed fince you left us.
Infead of that noble love OF liberty,
and that republican government
which carried ustriumphantly thro'
the dangers of the war, an angle
aloharcbic0 atyR G. ntic party has a.
rilen. Their avowed Object is to
impofe on US the Mb9ance, as they
have already given as the farm of
the Britiih government. Neverthe-
leFs the principal body of our citi-
zenS remain faithful to republican,
principles. AL our proprietors OF
lands are friendly to thoie princi-
pies, as alto the MATS of men of "a
Tents. We have againa us, the
executive power all the officers OF
government, all who are leeking Of
fees, and all timid men who prefer
the calm of delpotilm to the tenn
peftuous fea of liberty; the Britilh
merchants and the Americans who
trade on Bririfh capitals, the Gpecu-
lators, perionS intereGed in the
bank and the public funds. fhould
give you fever, if / fhould name
the apoltates who have embraced
thole herefies men who were So.
lemons in council, and Sampfons in
combat, but whole hair has been
cut of by the who're of England.
They woeld wrelt from us that
liberty which we have obtained, by
70 much labor and peril; but we
ihall preicrve it. Our MATS OF
weightand riches is 70 powerful that
we have nothing to fear from any
attempt again0 us by force. 1t is
fuGicient that We guard ourfelves,
and that we break the Lilliputian
ties, by which they have bound US,
in the fri Plumbers which luccecd-
ed our labours. 1t luAices, that

to be the men of our choice. The
momenrous power Of ele6ting our
officers of government, is attended
with a Duty propor1ionately feri.
Gus and important. Thole who
periuade you TO examine and con-
fider, before you decide, mutt GER

A great location is approaching,
when you will be called upon to
declare in favor of fome ofthe can
didates for the prefdential chair.
1t is not intended to go into a diff
cufiion OF the ieparate merits ofthe
leveral perlonS, who are before you.
A Jingle relative circumstance, out
of which great heat and prejudice
has been arttully rated, is propof-
ed, on the preient location, to be
offered to your conlidaration.--.
Your candid attention is all that is
requeHed, and it is your own con-
Germ.
A letter has been circulated. for
fome tine, through the u. States,
which has been Represented as one
written by Mr.. Jefferlon TO MIR MAJ
zei, native Of Tufcany, who lived,
as faithful citizen, many years in
Virginia He was a country neigh
bour OF Mr.. Jeferfon. MIR. Mazzei
is real whig, upon the great fcale
Of human happinefs. He loved A
merica as LAND OF FREEDOM as
a country which had produced a
| Warrington. Franklin, a Green,
Rittenhoufe, and other worthless
on your roll of fame. He was
man of polite literature, and extern
five icience. Ii would feem that
MIR Ieferion had received from him
on his arrival in Italy, at leaf one
letter OF remembrance and that
MIR. Jeferion had written to him in
return, upon the common princi-
pies of politeneiS.-Silence on the
receipt of a letter from an old neigh
bour and acquaintance, is little LET'S
indecent, than perlonal flence,
when a queition or oblervation !.
addrefled TO US in company. Mr..
| Jefferlon, however, wrote to Mr.
Mazzei in reply, it would leem fol
it does not appear certain. ! lie let.

ing truths The kings birth day in
England mad been followed here BY
the PreGdents birth day. The
kings levee had been inflated bv
the preiidsnt's levee. The queens
evening drawing room had been i
inflated by the fame ceremonious
meeting, in the drawing room of
THE prelidenr's and yicc-2-eGdent's
ladies, from 1889 to l79;. The
houle Of representatives had been
called the 6 lower houce," like the
EngIilh houfe of commons. The
tenate had been called the &c upper
houte," like the EngliGl houfe of
lords. The miniters of fate in
England had held levees at their
houies, and levees were ftt up, in
1889, by our iecretaries in New
DIRK, under cover of th-ir ladies'
drawing rooms. When the govern
ment OF the U. S removed to Phi
iadelPhia, the independent ipirit of
the people OF falhion there refufed
compliance with the whole of there
f0rms, except as regarded to the
Prefdent'S family: and thus fully
confirmed the jult Gentiments of M.
jeferion. Even an abortive al
tempt to efablilh lofty titles had
been made by fome of the fenators.
But it was not in the levees alone
that the farms les formes) of the
brltiih government were difpIayed
here. The PRECEDENT was cut Off
like an EngLyb king, from the ac-
cu!tomed hotpitalities and focal in
tercourfe of our country. lie was
drawn to meet the legilature, with
the four principal officers Of the
government, in five coaches or
chariots. He was led to make a
iPeech, like pcecb Of the Eng II
king from the throne. At b; q Ie.
