EXPLANATION; OF THE WORD
NEWS.


attending to the importance Of the word
nsrvs or the idea il ought to furnifh US
with. In the fra placc;gas news come
from all quarters Of Heterogeneous globe,
70 the very word itielf clearly roinrs out
to US, viz. N. North, E. EAT, w. Wet,
S. South, /; 70 that I believe no language
in the world can furnifh US with title
more equally expreaive. Again, when
ferioully confdered, it recommends to us
the practice Of the four following virtues,
viz. NoJleueli in our tho't, E9ualityin our
dealings, Wj/aam III our conduit, So5rety
incur lives,
Have our readers fuitably pondered on
the conduct Of Mr.. Jefericn towards Ca
lender
This is your Philosopher !; praaiing
fuch Philosophical tricks of meannels as
would raiie blulh on Satan's cheek.
This is your bousa man, who could ca
refs and honor the name Of Wilmington,
and at the fame time ania Freneau in TAB
blng his reputation: who could fnesreJ
pray that no accident might happen 70
that he lhould be obliged TO exerciie the.
duties of chief magiarare inRead Of Mr..
Adams, laying shat they !" had bean iyf-
!" j confdsd- to the eminent character
6 which had preceded him, whcfe talents
!" and integrity had been known and re-
. Vered by him during long courfe Of
years andwho yet could bride venal
writer 80 hack his feelings and blaa his
character, by heaping lie upon lie, and
bale ilander on bate lander. This pbileloibber
could openly extol the talents and iategri-
y of Mr.. Adams could fpeak ofhim with
reverence and at the fame time could pof-
feis a foul foul and vile enough to perpe-
trate deeds at which eo1mou hypocracy
would hudder. Where is the abandoned
democrat who jufifes this' There are
not fen in the United States. Where is
the democrat who is not alhamed Of the
executive? There are few if any. Where
is the virtuous man whole bofom is not
flied with pity, anger and contempts He
exits Motive feel Indignation, the
frongef indignation we with not to lie
under the imputation of that infenibility,
or villainy, which does not feel indigna-
ton !: nor would we lie under the impu-
tatlon of that abominable .Jefsrionian by
poorly that dares NOT expreis what it feels.
Thus it appears that Mr. Jefelfon has
given Calender $50 dollars, 100 out OF
the public money, the amount Of his fire;
100 while Calender was writing his
!" Propeet," and 50 when he applied for
an Office, from his cwn private purfe.
What money this honorable and sirtuous
executive has lavihed, by way Of brides
on Duane, previous to the unhappy CON-
mencement of the prefent administration,
we know not but we have good reafon
TO iuppole much greater fums than to CAL
lender, either in money advanced, or in
promifes, depending on 1.-THE fuccefs Of their
criminal policy, afterwards punefually per-
formed-If Duane lhould become Offend
ed at the prefent administration, what
crimes might he not expoie; what can
vafs Of horrid pictures might he not jualy
correctly paint-If fome wealthy fedora
lift fhould offer Duane very large fun Of
money, we have no doubt but that he
would thus exPofe his own and the villai-
ny Of rogues in high Offices /: for what OBJ
jeetion could Duane have /? He wants mo-
ney and as to character, he has none to
injure, much lefs to lofe.
We wonder how Mr.. Jefcrion appears,
how he feels, when he looks honef men In
the face, who are not ignorant of this as
we'll as other means by which he 70 mean
ly and inhumanely obtained feat Jualy
due to another. What mutt be |eferfon's
and Galla,in's feelings when they fee fuch
