THE Editor of this paper holds in fove
reign contempt the infouations OF Hsnilton's
editor, and is perfuaded that the want cf man.
hood would be found on trial 10 rea with hm.
The Editor OF that paper fhouid knos that truth
10 not calumny-that the editor of the Aurora
was not the laf who had the nasbssi TO openly
expofe the odious sets Of Mr.. Adams and has
sdminiA iArztion---that IL ws NOT a calunny thar
John Adams charged the Pseksys with fubier-
viency to the Bfinih-that he cffered 10 prove
IL ia . cosrt ct juaise, and that John Adams
withdrew the action by rsi prseyU. hecsois
he found IL would be proved ;-that John Ad-
ans hated DR.. franklin, and transferred his
hatred to his grandion, and opsaly re xa,ded
an attempt 10 shaiiinate the grxndfon of DR..
Franklin.
The editor Of that paper ihould know, that
IL was the editor of this who had the manhood
| 10 expreh the criminal conduct of his whole add
miniftrstion-his fiery rage for ~sr-his open
projections OF monarchy--his connivance al The
corrupt intrigues Of LiRon--bis fhameeis chat
ges for coaeb0 and bs./es as houCehoh furniture
his diarioutioa OF iecret fervice money---his
withholding the particulars of large fun Of
money belonging to the public---hS horrid
| transattions with ST. D,miago. He fhoud
know thar having dared to lay rhefe usnfatt,ons
before an injured cosntIy, when his honfe was
hourly forrounded by sGiffins--whsa man, ,sf-
| terwsrds rewarded with feat on the bench, de-
| clared ne thould be made away with-whea
thirty rufhans led on bv the bully Mierckeu, at
| tackled his hfe---when opinion was Glenced
| almna every where eiie, he dared and dares 10
Publiih the crimes Of rhofc proAlgate days and
ProAisste men. He fhould know thar il has
been the character Of this paper to be cautious
! OF condemning without evidence--but with foil
| evidence TO fpare no man who deieru his prin-
ciples; Hauiiiton's editor fhouId know from
the example Of his patron that no iad,vixsai,.
ho.ever artfnl, dsrisg, ueacherous or inEdi-
Gus. Car fuccced againa The public opinion Of
America.
We are at a iofs TO determine whether il is
| their own ignorance and fupidity, or their con
temp, OF the public understanding. which can
fnd in the recent events in France, reafons 10
contsmn republican principles, or impudently TO
, u 'rge the republicans of American with incon.
Gasncy for not beaowing the fame spplaufc on
Bonaparte as f # coofUl, as when he led the re-
| publican legions OF France TO triumph over Gx
aimies 1t the combiGcd defpots 10 one campaign.
IL nuR be aItribu'ed to their own incorrigbe
fiupidity, for the plsis and uneqpivocal cfea Of
an adherence to principle OF right il totally dif.

| never change, she setions Of men, though they
are CONTRARY to principles, do NOT either alter
their nature nor dmin,fh their value. A,nsi1
