Extract from letter No. IS, written by the
late president Adams-and published in
the - Boston Patriot
4" Did Mr.. Hamilton recollect the
state OF our presses Recollect the
names and popular eloquence Of
the editors of the opposition papers ?
That soofing, scorning vii, and that
saustic malignity of soul, which az
peared so remarkably in all the wr
tings of Thomas Paine and Calender,
which, to the disgrace of human ns-
ture, never fails 10 command attention
and applause The members of the
senate and the House, who were deci-
dedly against The administration, their
eontinusl intercourse and communica-
tons with French cmissaries. The
hideous Glamour against the alien law,
and .edilion law, both considered as
leye;led entirely against the French &
their friends, and the surrender accor-
ding to the British treaty of the Irish
murderer Nash, imposed on the public
fer Jonathan Robbins

versal and perpetual inaammatory pub
LEGATIONS against the land tax, stamp tax,
coach tax, excise law, and eight per
cent loan did he never see Nor hear
oil the circuler letters of members OF
congress, from the middle and southern
states ? Did he know nothing of the
biting sarcasms, the burning rage, a.
sainst himself and his own army Did
he know nothing Of a kind OF Journal
that was published Of every irregular
&C, of any officer or soldier, OF every
military punishment that was Inflicted
under the appsllation Of the Canibals
progress /! Did he see nothing of the
French cockades ostentstiously exhibit
ted against the American cocsade :"
Had French minister been seen
here with his suite, he would have
been instantly informed oil every source
and symptom of discomfort. Almost
every Frenchman upon the continent,
and they were then numerous in all the
states, would have been employed in
eliminating the American govern
mens, in applauding the condescension
Of the French directory, < the friend
", conciliating disposition of the
French nation. Nothing could have
been kept secret the popular Glamour
for peace, on any terms, would have
been very difficult, il not impossible TO
resist.
"The multitude in Philadelphia, as
1t was, were almost as ripe TO pull ms
cut of my house, as they had been tc

the streets were crowded with mullitu
dinous assemblages Of people, especial
ly that before my door,and kept III order
