hiSdIuISS dllu OH tie 4tll Oh WATCH i79Z,
the day after this great and good hman-----
this favour of his country, had voluntari-
ly rehgned the helm Of our affairs, crown
ed with glory and with the, thanks and
b,eiiings OF his couptrymen, this iniolent
foreigner, put into bis paper, the follow
ing notice .. 49,
/ The man who is the fource Of all the
f mistortunes, of our country is. this day
reduced toa level with his fellow-citizens,
and is no, longer poaeaed of power, to
multiply evils upon the; u tied States.
: If ever there was period for rejoicing
this is the moment. Every heart in uni.
: lon with the freedom and Happiness of
| $ the people, ought 70 beat high with ex-
+ ultation, that the name Of Wilmington
from this day, ceafes TO give currency to
/ political inquiry, and 10 legalize cor
Eruption A new AGRA is now opening up
on us--an @fa that promiles much 10 the
| people; for PUBLIC mealures mutt now
: hand upon their own merits and nefari-
$ Gus projects can no longer be fupportei
! by name. When retrolpe6 is taken
{ of the Warrington. administration for
l. eight years, it is iubjea of the greatef
6 altoni1hment, that Jingle individual
s could have cankered the principles of re-
i publicaniin, in an enlightened people,
and thouid have carried his delignS a.
gainif the public liberty, g far as TO have
'Put in jeopardy its very exillence; fAch
however, ave the facts, and with thele
ftaring us in the face, this day ought to
be jubilee in the United States
The above calumny did appear IN d.
ane's paper, in the words I have written,
and he continued the fame language Of
opprobrium, through the whole OF Mr..
Adalns's Administration, during which
time Mr.. Jeferfon was the vice PRECEDENT!
Some tins after general Walhington had
died, MIR. JeferEon paid a vift OF condo-
lence to Mount Vernon, AMI in the aAgmb
| Of bis grisf, watered the tomb of his de-
parted benefaaor with a gxf # tears
Soon after this, in his inarg ural fpeech,
he takes location TO fay ,,~
: Without pretentions to that high con.
hdence you repoied in our frlt an great
eft revolutionary ,charaaer, wh3Ge pre-
eminent fervices had entitled him 10 the
frlt place in his country's love, and def
tined for him the. fairef page in the. VOL
ume Of faithful hifory, Nov reader,
mark the fcquel, and withouE prejudice or
favor, let 'reafon,' the unerring arbitor of
our prefident, decide upon his Gncerity
When MIR. Jeferion had reached the FUN
| init Of his ambition, and was about TO diff
Penie the e*aa jyfies' in his office, which
he had promifed in his lpeech, we find
William Duane, this foreign rufian---
this reviler of Walhington--this daring
incendiary, (who is at this moment Brit
iih iubjea) was among the frf who yiit-
ed the chief magiitrate; and with all the
confidence Of a fuccefsful conlpirator
The preiident betowed upon him the pro-
fits of printer TO the government, and
lEationer- general: certainly the mott To-
crative appointment in the gift Of the ex-
ecutiye
The volumes OF faithful hi9ory, viii
record thele things among others, and poC-
terity will wonder that an enlighted peo-
pie could remain 70 long hood -winked by
the intrigues and fury of party fpirit. By
what rule of evidence--by what principle
Of enquiry--or by what tortured conlruc-
ton can we reconcile Mr.. Jeferfon's euio-
giving Warrington, while he he's ihow-r-
ed upon Duane, his reyiler, the choicet
benefits of Officer Even fophifn is mute
in defence of luch conduit, and language
ofjuf elimination is beggaredby its. enor-
nifty. But this is not aII--this very Dn-
