OF the Memoirs of Thomas Jefferson, and me
historian of" the Rise and Progress of F,eycb
Influence" in the-U. States-has come fo, tn
with a second Address TO the ~ States
Gazette"
AS in his lst, he virtually curfesses, that
he is British Spy, and an Emissaly-koy-
al to his king. and fdithfW to his ia we
country-so III the 2nd, he most consistently
complains of his receiving that exposure &
chastisement, which such character de
serves Instead of 1e]eHding himself, he la
wishes all his abuse on the Aurora-denoun-
ces vehgence against its Editor-threateIs
to exhibit him in ali the various phases of
his iite-and most consistently complains of
ms own name having been given To the
puohc accompanied with scrr,1Aiy, such as
none but low-lived Scoundrel can utter, and
with fdisehoods such asnone but "A long prac-
t'scd, accomplished liar could invent"
We JOIN issue al once with this political
saint--this pious Missionary of thc British
government We cast back into his teeth,
all the charges of acurrihty and /aGsehood.

the mans to which they resort for the
contamination of their fnyhoses-the vutu-

the characters OF our best and most enlisht-

OF the acts and measures of government

all that is peculiarly American--and their
secret but interchangeable propagation of po-
Hticai Creed OF faith, from which Federal
lists themselves wouid reuoh with an honest
enthusiasm of heart the Tories and the Es-

indirect confession of Cullen, the styke of
the composition is all his own Thefe is the
