vered with the cruisers and armed vessels

WHAT IS A TAcoBIN.

Fr0n q L011G0n Jtdber.
AS some persons seem still to entertain
doubts respecting the proper answer TO be
given to the above question, we will pre-
sent them with a very satisfactory solution
of it, taken from Mr.. Bowles's g Th0ughts
on the late general election, as dc1nonstrafiOe
Of the progress Of jaco6inismy;" pam
phlet which we recommend to the attention
Of every eleetor in the united kingdom.
GA iacobin is one who maintains, as his
first and fundamental principle, that every
Individual in society has a right to concur
in the choice of Representatives, and that
representatives so chosen, can alone con-
stitute a legal government. In order to
introduce such a system, the theory OF
which must necessarily be pleasing, because
it is Gathering, to the great mass of socie-
", which has never yet exercised such
power, he addresses himself to the multi
tude, and labors by their instrumentality
to overthrow the existing government,
whatever it naaybe. Eathe does notdirect
his attack merely against the existing 60
vernment. He wars against all the institu-
tons, religious and civil, of his country,
and Of all countries. Every thing that
time or usage mas consecrated, is odious in
his eyes. His object is nothing less than
a complete change in the very frame and
being Of society. His mind is SO pulled
up with vanity, that he thinks himself ca
pable Of regulating the whole world, in all
It's social and political relations; and he
even tanciss, not only that his system in

~ detected falsshood in tie Bee; and correct
editby stating the natureof the charge. 1tstat-
ed, that the federalsts charged Jefferson with pay
ing Calender. This was certainly true. i might
be found in numerous papers. The defendant.
himself had never made the charge; nbr had he.
declared it true. He was, therefore, not respoa
sible for it. He had challenged s an open and
manly discussion of that charge, which he said
the federabsvs had made. And he contended that
malicious intent could never be inferred, either
from the correction Of The garbled statement in
che Bee, or from his chall ging a discussion Of a
charge against the character of Thomas Jefferson.
We reglrt that 1t is not in our power TO give
mere than this faint sketch o. this Argument
But we are not without hopes that We shall yet
have TIN ourpower 70 give it at lsngsh.
