Br CHRISTOPHER CAUSTIC, MMMDAss.
Inventor OF ne1v pump, of ne1'cr-mopins
mill, OF Democracy unveiled, and many
Gnilar productions
ARGUMENT
Origin of the word Cheeie different WAYS of
making it: Arthur Young's account of the
Parmeian Chesfe: recipe for making Chefhire
and Gloucefter Cheeies, ,difcovered during my
tour through England, with the defcription of
a neSv Prefs, invented for nv own ufe only---
The quantity and quality of the Cheefe ferved
up at the Court of ST. James's, with an elaho-
rate deicription of the furniture and manners
of Palace: peep into a Levee-room with
an animated eulogy upon late Fetc given at
W,ndfcr Cattle by their bIajejqies, on which oc-
CATION the filver plate employed required three
wagons to traniport it: dreis of the Lady Eli
zabeth: Virgips panesyric upon the implicitly
and purity of country life, poetcal and ridi-
culous: companion of town and a ruftic
life, which recalls me to the village of
where the Mammoth Cheefe was manu-
fa0ured: Isgratitude a virtue? value ofaprefent

this Mr.. Jefferion 70 much viGted and refpeci-
cd - Mites in the Cheefe, with an enquiry
! into their origin - no mites to NJ found in the
Cheefc, made of the milk of the Reindeer in
Lapland - reafon for it: funeral Grafton over
Goldfmith - policy Of the Prefident in giving
Cheeie to fuch as cannot get any of the Lonqss
| and FiHeS - ludicrous account of council of
war held by the Prefident's Cabinet, to devife a
plan for attacking the mites.
End of the heefe-- the whole being intend
to prove, that MIR. Jefferfon has neither the IN
derfanding, the heart, nor the experience to
| conduct the affairs of this country.
From fuch epifodcal, trifiipg, ridiculous and
| far-fetched commentaries upon the meafures of
the administration, may good fortune deliver
us We have already feen too many of them
foihed upon the public attention. If the fede-
raj Editors have no more important criticifms
to make upon tie administration, If they can
make no attack upon the republican party,
which is not founded upon more fold and fub-
fantial objections it is time that they fhould
devote their labours to general fpeculations or
to literary topics.
| What policy will the federaliRs adopt, nould
| it be true that the French government have re-
ally demanded of us so millions of dollars? (See
the Bal1eterre head.l Will they prefImc TO
advocate thofe claims ? Surely not. The men
who reproached the PRECEDENT for recommends
ing it to the Ian CongrefS TO refrain our private
veiitls from arming and forcing their way into
st. Domingo, and who declared that it would
be ;mpotic and cowardly to impofe any fuch
reGrietions upon them, will not prefume to
fupport claim, which sj4j6 fa6o founded alto
gether upon this trade. Even fheuld the ad
minifration be oppofed to this demand, the
federal party have already pledged themfclves
to fupport the oppoiition. There is one ground
indeed, on which they may differ from the re-
publican party. From the experience which
we have already obtained of their dcfgns during
the lat eight years; from their violent anathe-
mas againit the French government during the
two fift administrations and from their hottie
array againf the Spanifb government after the
fufpenlion of the right of depoft at N. Orleans,
the federal fyftem appears to- be incompatible
with permanent enjoyment of peace. II will
not therefore be matter of extraordinary fur
prize, if many of this party ihould exult at our
Misunderstanding with Bonaparte; fliouId af.
fnme the mott bottle attitude ard 10 involve
us in war with that country, or bring our adj
minifration into diirepute, Mould eyaggerate
the caufes Of contention, and rcproach our
councils with weakness and puilanimty----
Should fuch be their policy, we fhall regret its
exftence. For the honour of our couHtry we
hope, there is not a man in it who would coun-
Itenance thefe extrayagant pretenfons Of the
French government; but we hope at the fame
time, that there is not man in II, who would
with TO involve us in war, uGtiI we had en-
ploysd every honourable expedient to prevent
| it.
We believe however, that no ferrous location
will exit for fuch manifestation OF fentiments.
The report appears to US to prove no fold
foundation.
