JEFFERSON 81 CALENDER.


OUR readers will recollef that we
fnme time hnce republilhed from the
Richmond Recorder, fome remarks IF
Calender, in which he lates that the
fpecimen fleets Of the firl} volume of
the Profped had been fent 10 Mr.. Jef-
tetton as they were printed off that
upon his receiving them he returned,
not merely letter ofthanks, but focal
lenders great furprize he had dre6ed
Mr.. George JefFerfon 70 pay him fifty
dollars. That when the 6rG part Of the
iecond volume was put TO pref, Mr..
Jeferion tent, unfoicited and unespcd
ed, f.cond remittance 70 the fame
amount. We al that time briefly com
menred upon this very extraordinary
conduit on the part Of our Chief Mag,
iitrat.faad intlmated that We fhould
retum= the fubjea more at length at
future Gay.-We have lince feen the
Aurora, TIE American Citizen, aud the
National Egis, with an impudence
and an au1acityunparalleled, enter upon
defence and publication Of this con.
dud in its full enormiiy. We ihall there
fore give the iubjea more thorough
examination, and We confidently believe,
that the reiult will fupport what we
have already advanced, and tend at
once to cover with fhame the Idol Of
the day, and with confufon bis humble,
h.reling champions. Should our Ian
guage On this occaiioa be marked with
more than cultomary fervi1nels, w fhAl'
offer no apology, but ret entirely upon
the (reng,h of the cafe before US.
The Citizen commences by declaring,
that Calender " on whom no reliance
I" could EVER be placed, and whole
" continual inebriation is one Of the lean
4" blemiihes in his character, Is become
an avowed APPELLATE. He is living
inaance of that g'eat truth, that a
man withou, moraiS cannot be Of fer
" vice TO any canfe, to any nation, or 10
:" any people. He feems to have been
" made rather to dfw5 than to ia5jerv.
mankind. He is rsflef,, unprinciped,
I" licentious His coarle and vulgar
manner, and the known prohgacy of
4" his life, have always defeated the OBJ
Jet of bis writings. Coming from
I" hin, even III. majeay Of truth feems
:" to have fufered much Of its energy
and fplenior. The republicans have
Z" realon TO rejoice that this peailence
I" of morals has withdrawn from their
I" franks"
This is the character now given of
one who lately fh4red 70 largely in the
Intimacy, he confidence, and the gard
of The Chief Magiarate Of our country
as to fubmit to his friendly eye the pol.
lu1d pages Of falfehooi and fsdition-
he Eap6ed ibe tainted gale Of finder, and
GRACEFULLY rewarded the author.-Yes,
fellow citizens, the man who is now
plainly declared TO be "reltlefs, unprin
| ci led, and lcentious, was paid by
! Mr.. Jefferfon for libelling the adminif
trations, and even attempting to blalt
the private characters of Warrington
and Adams for ever and this too at
time when he he'd the fecond place
| 10 the government But to thofe who
have been accultomed accurately to oh
lerve the conduit of Mr.. Jeferfon this
| Circumstance will location little fur
| prize. He who Whit Secretary of
Srate employed hirelng prefs to abuie
| the other members of the adminftra
ton, whilf it abounded in Aattery to
himfelf, was every way equal 70 the
exercife of the fame bafe means of felf-
aagrandizemeR when he had become
| Vice Prelident. And ye, this is the
man who, after thus making his way to
the head of our government, affeGs TO
be Indifferent to public honors who
rever ceales TO pant after literary re-
tirement and phlofophic cafe: but hum
Div fubmits TO the talk of ruling over
as in pure obedience to the voice of the
ocople. How long, fellow-citizens, will
Won continue to be the dupes of this
canting hypocrlfy How long will you
continue to repofe confidence in hin:
who can defend to hold friendly
| iotercourfe with man who is defcsibei
as 1.-THE peliilence of morals" Such
we are told by Mr.. Jeferfon's champ
| ion is the character Of Calender fuch
then are.the in(truments which Mr.. JET
ferfon has ulcd to promote his own
lelevation fuch are the w-etched expe-
