At one time he calls Mr.. Adams a

And yet on another occaGon he BOATS of

offenibiIisy and virtue recoils with tick
ening difguit. Still it's ncceflary Gsadi-
~ TO view and examine it, for il is nor
the fketch Of Fancy, but drawn in Goa
lours faithful 10 truth and nature. Itpre-
tents the portrait Of one whom temporary
deIutoa has uaHor;hily exalted to the
ara place in oar government; whole fond.
nels for retirement has been mere pretence
whole pufi,y of life and conduit has i'm
puiensly been held upas a model and
Whsle moral and political character has
been boldly pronounced BY his admirers,
the IS fandard of human excellence. T.
very diiparionate MAJ, every man Of can.
COR, every man who values truth, who has
not entirely yielded up his jadsmen, to
the controal party zeal, and aeeled him.
f5lf againlf conviction, is earneGly folicit-
ed to reflect on the charges here exhibited
againa Mr.. JefFerlon, and the evidence
on which they are founded the former
will be admitted by every one to be fe-
rious and the manner in which they
are fupported we think mutt ent;tle them
TO credit.
But the pretdent's champions, lenEole
of the odium which mutt attach to him
who corrupts public opinion for the pur
pof.s of private ambition, who rewards
the publication Of calumny to promote his
own aggsandizement, have, in Their ago
mixing attempts to repel the imputation
yitherei into a thoufand contorhons and
aGuned all the forms of Proteus. At frR
they denied the faa-then they doubted
next neither acknowledged nor denied,
nor admitted it; then again without adj
hitting i, they faid it deferved aPplaate
fori was only encouraging /" virtuous
sbb,GGoa to an iniquitous government"
and laaly, they contradict all they had
faid before, and Unfit that it was " mere
atf of humanity 10 fave half famifhed
wretch from aarving."
A precious flmple Of humanity truly!
our preGdent NUT really be OVERLOOKING
with the milk Of human kindneis, drown
ing wet with it, perfectly drenched l
wonder how many hundred dollars he ever
before beaowed upon " half famiihed FL
thy wre,ches" But do not thefe able
editors preceive and feel how this, Ike
every other Of their awkward attempts to
hield, only frses to expofe more fully,
the deformity of the Object taking
their own account of the matter then as
correct, was it not--tell me ye champions
ofvirtue, was it net
hafe and poor, unworthy of a mar"
To take advantage of fanifhd wretch and
bribe him of his confidence
Hire him to fell and traffic 1ander on good men 5
heads,
To Rain their honor, blaft thair virtue
Left, however any one fhouId imagine
him to ba 70 prodigal Of his bounty, be it
known, that it is far ctherwife that un-

The humanity indeed of fuch a gift may
well be doubted, if the defcription given
