1.-The moa prominent features 10 the oppof :
ton ofMr. ]effer.on' fiction to the adml-
niisrar;cn OF Warrington, il may be worth
while TO fpend little time in enqulrlng
what proofit furnithes OF Mr.. Jeiferfon's
CO. operation with bis friend Paine in this
particular.
1t is not yet forgotten that this Genet
was tent to the U.rted States from the
French republic, 70 called, for the fole
and expreGs purpoie Of involving US in
their nefarious revolution; that before he
was acknowledged by our government, he
attempted to grant commiflions to our CT
tizens to cooperate with the French
ehas in one Of his official communications
he boaaed of being miniiter TO the fsaple
of the United States, as diitinguilheu from
the government, that he had, by accianna-
ton, been received by the /er,erei.gu feo-
PIE and traterualI recognized before the
diplomatic forms had been fulfilled with
refpett TO him at Philadelphia; and that
when general Washington ihued his pro-
clamation of neutrality, by which the
peace and the exifencc of this government
were preferved, this Genet, the Confidential
correspondent of Mr.. Jeferfon, impudent-
~ aud treafonably appealed to the people,
calling upon them to abandon their Wsth-
ington ard their government, & to throw
themfelyes into the protecting, the frater-
nal arms of that dear republic, of which
Bonaparte is now prefdent.
At this period Mr.. Jeaerfcn, fcrstary
of fate, had paper called the National
Gazette, publilhed almoa in his Office, at
leaf, by confidential clerk in his office,
who enjoyed fnecure falary Ct 500 dol
lars year out Of the public rreafury.
This paper, during the whole period OF
its publication flor it cea(ed as foon as
Mr.. Jeferlon went out Of Office, after per-
ceiving that the people would not deiert
Warrington, to follow himfelf and Genet
abounded with the nois grcfs and tresion-
able productions againft rhe adminifrati-
on. At this period, while the fcales hung
in dubious fafpenfe between Warrington
and national independence on one fde, and
Jeferfon, Genet, and French fraternity
on the other; while it was yet awfully
doubtful into which fcale the E0Veyeign pe0-
PIE, who had been aattercd and appealed
to agsina their government, would throw
their weight, at this dreadful crilis, when
the hopes of MIR, Jeferion's faction were
at the height, and the friends Of govern
men, were beginning to defpair, n,meiy,
on the 10th Of July, 1893, we find the fol
lowing publication in the National Ga
zette. 1t is extracted merely as ipe-
| cimen Of the general fpirit of the paper,
| and as afording one infance Of the I'M
patience and indignation which MIR. JEFF
ferion and his feet felt at the continued
tyy4uuy of the preGdent, and his periever-
ing reGlsance TO tie zvil cf Genet. This
patriotic paragraph is couched in the fol-
! lowing terms
lhe mlniiter OF france, HOPE, Will
ACT with FIRMNEss and with SPIRIT; the
PEOPLE are his friends, or the friends of
France, and HE will have nothing to APP
pretend; for as yet the PEOPLE are the
loyereign of the United States. Too much
eomplaceny is an iujury done TO HIS cauie,
for as every advantage is already taken Of
France, further cuac/eegyEon may lead to
further abufes. Ifone of the leading fea-
lures of OUR GOVERNM 5NT is Pu-
sILLANiM1rY, when the Britifh lion flews
his teeth, let France and her miuJfer act as
becomes the dignity and jufice of THEIR
cauie.'
Let this extract, with the circumstances
be candidly weighed, and fee if it does not
furnilh very intelligent refponfe to the
declaration of Paine. Can you not, in this
very difinaly hear Mr.. Jeferlon pro-
