APPEAL
To TIE CITIZENS or THE u. STATES

To THE CITIZENS OF THE U. STATES.
The following Appeal is made to you, be-
cause the charges which have rendered it
necessary were exhibited by your highest
public functionary, in communication de-
signed for the eyes of all; and because the
citizens of every State in the Union have a
deep interest in the reputation of every
other State.
1t is well known, that during the embar-
go, and the succeeding restrictions on our
commerce. and also during the late war
with Great Britain, the State of Massachu-
sets was sometimes charged with enter
tanning designs, dangerous, if not hostile to
the Union of the States. This calumny,
having been engendered at period of ex-
trcme political excitement, and being con-
sidered like the thousand others which at
such times are fabricated by party animos;-
ty, and which live out their day and expire,
has hitherto attracted very little attention
in this State. 1t stood on the same footing
with the charge against Hamilton, for pecu-
lation against the late President Adams,
as being i'll favor of monarchy and nobili-
ty, and against Washington himself as hos
tile to France, and devoted to British in
teiests. Calumnies which were seldom be-
lieved by any respectable members of the
party which circulated them.
The publication of the President of the
| United States, In the National Intelligent
ceI of October last, has given an entirely
new character to these charges against the
citizens of Massachusetts. They can no
longer be considered as the anonymous
SANDERS of political partisans; hut as a
solemn and deliberate impeachment by the
first magistrate of the United States, and
under the responsibility of his name. 1t
appears also that this denunciation, though
now for the first time made known to the
public, and TO the parties implicated, (who-
ever they may be- was contained in private
letters TO Mr.. Adams, written twenty ago,
to members Of the general government ;
and that he ventures TO state it as founded
on unequivocal evidence within his own
knowledge.
1t was impossible for those who had any
part in the affairs of Massachusetts during
the period in question, to suffer such u
charge TO go forth to the world, and descend
20 postcrty, without notice. The high Off
cial rank of the accuser, the silent, but
baneful influence of the original secret de-
nunciation, and the deliberate and unpro-
voked repetition of it in public journal,
authorized an appeal to Mr.. Adams, for a
specification of the parties, and of the evil
dencc, and rendered such an appeal abso-
lutely imperative. No high-minded, honor
able man, of any party, or of any State in
our confederacy, could expect that the
memory Of illustrious friends deceased, or
the characters of the living, should be left
unattended, through the fear of awakening
long extinguished controversies, or of dis
turbing Mr.. Adams's retirement. Men who
feel just respect for their own characters,
and for public esteem, and who have cor
responding sense of what is due to the rep

universal changes of all terrestrial objects,
one consolation arises to the Christian,
which is, that though the scorld pdsseth aacuy
and the lust thereof; get he that doeth the
tciH Of God abideth for eUer. Notwithstand-
ing there are many whose inward thought
is, that their houses shall continue for ever,
and their dwelling places to all genera
tions; and they call their lands after their
own names;" yet let us slacken our world
ly attachment, and yield our belief to scrip
ture and nature, that all sublunary things
are brief" even as vapor, that appear
eth for little time, and then vanisheth
away" All the rich and poor, joyful and
sorrowful, in all the tribulations and yicissi-
:udes of life, if pious, will be ever comforted
ard refreshed when they road and believe
the following words of divine truth and con-
ISOLATION.
"But this say, brethren, the time is
short. 1t remaineth that both they that
have wives, be as though they had none
and they that weep as though they wept
not; and they that rejoice, as though they
rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though
they possessed not; and they that use this
world, as not abusing it. For the fashion
of this world passeth away"

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.

hEmINISCENCE OF THIRTY YEARS.
For the fashion Of this ,oorld passeth aacay. .
Every thing in this world bears the i'm
press of frailty and instability. There is
continually in operation process of visible
or invisible mutation, and nothing around
us is stationary. Not only material sub
stances, but customs, manners, principles,
and opinions, are perpetually changing.
There is an extinction of some things. and a
transformation of Others The population
OF place is soon changed by births, deaths,
and migration. Houses and lands are often
transferred from one proprietor to another,
and personal property is still more ambnla-
tory. Power and honor, gained by the ca
price of the tickle multitude, are almost as
evanescent as the momentary gale of popu-
iarity. The depression quickly succeeds
the elevation. Nothing is more true than
mat all things, whether visible or ideal. are
noatlng on swift current, and daily chang
ing their aspect and nature, and losing their
identity. SIC transit gloria mundi." To
n mind without reflection, the truth and
forcible illustration of the passage" For
the fashion Of this tcorLd passeih atOay,"-
will but imperfectly appear. The Greek
word, schema, translated fashion," NAV
well signify the manners, the shape, the
dress, and the whole of the natural and IN
tetiectudl world. In the language Of an ele-
gant writer, (of whose thoughts and diction
l shall freely avail myself while consider
ing this subject) the original imports, the
figure or form under which the world pre-
.sents itself to us. The meaning is, all that
belongs to this visible state is continually
changing. Nothing in common affairs is
hxed and stable. All is in motion and fluc-
tuatlon; altering its appearance every mo-
ment, and passing into some new form.

The Rev. Mark Wilkes of Paris, is an
eminent divine, pious and most worthy
man. God has placed him in very easy
circumstances, and given him a warm and
charitable heart. No deserving poor man
ever went away sorrowfully from his door.
One day poor man belonging to his church,
who had something of Mr.. Wilkes's manner
as to the matter of wit, came to his door,
and told his minister, that "his poor wife
had been confined, and that she had brought
him very fine child. But then, SO it is"
added he, "God has not given us morsel
of food in the house." "Eh!' said Mark
Wilkes, affecting great Indifference, "John,
| have always understood, that when God
sends child into the world, he also sends
bread with it." "Most true, your rever-
ence," cried John, Gods goodness always
does so. But then, he has sent the child tn
me, but the bread to you: and therefore it is
that | have come for some of it," "Come
in. john" cried Mark Wilkes, as tear
coursed down his check" Come in, and
take as much as you want"

In society, character is the first, second,
and the ultimate quality. A man is never
ruined who has not lost his character; while
ne who has lost his character, whatever be
his position, is ruined, as to all moral and
and useful purposes. Envy and calumny
will follow mans success like his shadow /:
but they will be powerless if he is true to
himself, and relies on his native energies
to beat OF live them down. Virtues may be
rnisrepresented, but they are virtues still (;
and in vain will an industrious man be
called an idler; sensible man fool a
prudent man spendthrift: persevering
man changing or an honest man "a knaye.
The qualities are inherent. and cannot be
removed by words, except with a mans
own consent. At the same time all calum-
nators, thrice detected, ought to be Danish
ed as criminals, unworthy of the benefits of
the society. of which, however powerless,
they endeavor to be the pest and bane.

DOUGLASS pATENr THREsHLMG AfacHLN.E..

Major PHILIP REYBoLB, of Marsh Mount, near
Delaware City, in communication in the Journal
thus speaks of d. q. glass Machine.
g had MIR Readings machine in operation about
one year before knew of Mr. Douglass and consid-
cred it quite advantage TO the farmer in getting out
his grain stormy days could go to threshing
in my barn, which consider very great advantage
over common mode of treading-It would thresh
from sixty to seventy bushels of oats per day, and
from twenty-five to thirty Of wheat but since have
got Mr. Douglass up and in operation, its superiority
over the other is great, that think every Farmer
in the State should be made acquainted with it.
commenced threshing oats this morning after feeding
my stock, at fifteen minutes past seven O'Clock and
theshed four hours and thry-nine minutes, then stop
ped for dinner commenced after dinner at eleven
minutes after two O'Clock, and threshed three hours
and thrty-four minutes, which makes in the whole
time the machine in operation threshing eight
hours and three minutes. During that time the ma
chine threshed and chaffed 1919 bushels of OATS
My Gnning mill is attached to the machine in such
manner to be propelled by the same horse power
that moves the machine the machine is put up on
the second floor of my barn ! have screen let in
the barn floor level with the bottom of the machine,
which receives the grain and straw it falls from the
machine the grain passes through the screen into
hopper which leads it to the fan the straw is raked
off by hoy the fan is fixed in granary below, the
chaff is blown from the fan into the cbaf house the
machine is propelled by four horses, and consider it
very easy work for them the number of hands ne
cessary for keeping the machine in operation six
one man for feeding, man for untying the sheafs
and throwing them the table, boy to throw them
from the NOW to him, boy raking the straw from
the screen, and taking from him and moving
it away or throwing it on wagon for the purpose OF
hauling it away for the cattle and boy to drive the
horses and attend the fan at night my straw is away
my cattle fed, and my grain is in the granary
! have had the machine in operation two weeks the
first week it threshed $50 bushels of rye, and 800
bushels of oats, and last week in three days work il
: threshed 1000 bushels of OATS
