Mr. Fen no, THE enclosed little impromptu on rending the several motions made against Mr. Hamilton, will expreJ's the sentiments of ma ny of your readers, and by that redeem Irom censure, the rusticity of the verse. I am no politician, but I feel that I am a,patriot, and glory in that sensation ; and I amveryforry to find that there are. those among us, that Cannot oe fatisfied-with the most perfect form of government upon earth, and the most suit ed to the genius of the pe6pie*-—Why Ihould we not be grateful to the wife Arbiter of na tions, and enjoy the blessings he bellows; can an innovation be either honorable or profit able; I think not —for we are the' most blest of iny nation on the As the adcufatibftsbrougtir agalrrft Wrr Ha milton do not appear to be founded in fa&s, my plain judgment leads me to draw this con clusion— that they must arise from a fpirittoo prevalent iu human nature, to perplex and eml>arrafs the efFect of those talents we cannot emulate—or that some of desperate fortunes, ehufe to make confufion, that in the bustle they may feat themselves in the chair j and I hayfc the pleasure to find all my neighbours sue of the fame sentiments. Yours, &rc. Niw-Jcrfey, Mdrch 12, 1793* HAVE you not fern in faffron dreft, the Sun Burlt thro* the crvftal portals of the day ; While fogs, and blights, fact from his presence run— And million* breathe but in his genial ray : When soon an angry-cloud the sky, And darkncfs tinges, every blooiniflg tccne-— The promis'd blessings of tjie morning fly, And thunder hoaifly murmurs o'er the plain. Byt Phoebus quite unmov'd It renely.glides Behind the vapour of night's ebon throtie, Hurls it in air, and (hews that he presides, With splendor equal to protest his own. So. have. I seen in our new hemisphere, A star refulgent rise—whose potent ray Pierc'd thro* the dread opaque that hover'd near, And gave exiftcnce to our infant day. So have I seen a man of honor flitne, And with' nice re&itude b'egin his race ; ■ Stringing each nerve with energy divine, To-fave his country from the foul disgrace Of blasted credit, and theJhades of wealth —■ Of broken faith, and infamy supreme ; Restoring (Irength, and confidence, and health, To bankrupt funds, ihat were an empty name. When vile intrigue, with all her little art, And her dire nest of horn«ts, soon prepar'd To vex the honest veteran to the heart— And by surprize to throw him off his guard. But fair Integrity repuls'd the foe, And soon dilTolv'd the spells they had begun ; While well-earn'd fame with truths celestial glow. , Rtflefts new lustre on «ur Hamilton. EXTRACT. u THAT I am by birth, or family better than any others of my fellow creatures, is an absurdity—but if uature has bestowed 011 me favors that Ihe has withheld from others, or given to others talents that she has denied to jne, surely in the firft cafe, I pofTefs a fuperi -ority over them, but in the last cafe, they over me. This diftinftion is grounded in nature, for in fact nature has created it; and when, ever Ihe bellows superior talents on indivi duals, and dire&s them to their proper object, those individuals, thus favored, will in spite of art, become superior to others, and not only command but deserve greater refpejt. To contend then for equality in an unlimit ed sense, is to struggle against nature and to deny the justice of Providence—A person might aim oil as well attempt to eftablifb a system of univeffjrfcepticifnv ; for until we lose all confidence in the teitimony us our senses, we cannot believe the doctrine. I' it be really true thatperfeff equality does, or can exist, then rewards and punifliments must cease, and to talk of superior merit is to ul'e words without meaning, for ptrfefl equality does not admit of the fmalleftdiftinftion."

Funding the public debt is a great crime, and those who make a noise about it, ofcourfe would have us think they have a great deal of* merit by their hatred of the system. Sure ly they reckon their own score of merits fomswhat like bad accountants. Did the party in Congress the mod opposed to the re port oPthe Secretary of the Treafnry on the public debt, oppose funding T They did not— at least if they are to be believed. They would have funded at fix per cent—they would have funded in favor of original creditors. Their newspaper trumpeters have ever since held up the rights of the army and of the ori ginal holders, and the merits of those who would have preferred their claims to all others. Yet these fame blusterers condemn the fund ing system—What absurdity. They hate mo nied systems, and mysteries, and jobs. They are too pure to receive such foul ideas as those of faith and public credit into theirin fpirt=d minds—They would however have paid more money and admitted more claims thaq the majority in Congress agreed to—and how was this to be done } by funding at fix per cent. Perhaps some tell-tale will fay, thijinconfiftency is apparent and not real. We did not intend to fund nor pay a farthing —it was only a means of baffling and defeat ing the majority, and we came very near ac pwnpfHhing our plan. This defence will be allowed to explain the conduct of tbe oppof. ersof the funding aft—But facts as they ap pear without such explanation, lhew that the pretended haters of funding systems, and 1110- nied febemes, and mysteries, would have fund ed the debt—ln doing so they would have made the debt bigger by giving new certifi cates to the officers and soldiers, and heavier by voting an higher rate of interest.—Let the people now discontented with the doings of Congress, therefrtre, attend to facts and be undec«ived. —What is done they think bad— Their pretended friends would have made it worse. The party which diftingui(hes itfelf by an opposition to the government of the ,United States, is frequently calling the public atten tion to the patriots of '7 J —and raodeftly ar rogates to itfelf a species of merit, which all the world is ready to acknowledge the allert t>rs of their country's rights at that day were justly entitled to. —A few particulars may serve to fre -A (he striking contrast between the 10., of anarchy, and those diftingtiiihed friends of freedom—The latter wrote awainft, and opposed a government, over which the governed had little or no controul—but the firmer abnfe and resist a government which is the work of the people, whose basis is their will, and which always, in all things and throughout all its branches, is amenable to that high tribunal. The wliigs of '7J, wrote against a magistracy arbitrarily placed over them; a inagiftracy which was in the gift of a man 5000 miles diifont—and who, in most instances, gave his appointments to needy de pendants, who devoured our fubliance but the fomenters of discord of the prel'ent day, write against a firft magistrate, cteQed by the people—A man whose personal talents and vir tues vfc read in a whole life of illustrious and well remembered services—A man whom we have just lean a second time called to tbe most 83 63 38? 763 1280 4 Aggregate futilime o'ffiw ifl the MniVeriW, fthe fu ft Ma* E'ftracy in a great nation of rational freemen; by the unanimous, conftitutiooel voiee of i>is countr/. Tae republicans of '75 fouglitfor a govern* ment of their own choice—they have obtain ed w'ilhes, and are happy—£»ut the cue-' mies of our federal union depreciate their me rits by faying, in eileft, that having overturn *, ed one government, it never was their inten tion tofet up another. Those who Always hated and fill! oppose the government, think it their duty, or at ieatt their privilege to ft retch the truth, ro make it detested and fu'fpefted. No faith is to be kept with heretics, it fee ins—for the ling long eloquence has been, Congreis are specu lators—-the majority voted money into their own pockets—The interests' of the people were facrificed, the many to the sew—those.. who mult pay to those wjjo will receive There was a corrupt underftanrfing betwctfu Congress and the speculators—a partiality— a favoritism. Too much v/as given to the speculators-—the speculators—the speculators —For that is the chorus of every ditty. But their own words confound them. Always trying to unravel and to undo, they often change their means but never their object—• Behold, on the business of the claim made on Congress by the officers of the late army, the party change their note*—Mi//tons were saved by the Funding S\Jiem to the pubtic—which the public has no jujl right t» hold, Let the officers or,d foldi erSj the original holders, come in jor that saving.—• Will not those who have been fnade uneasy by the arts of a desperate faction, Hick a pin there—Surely our fa&ion turn oftener than ttye Vicar of Bray, for he only turned with the times—But our turn-coats do not find the times turning fact enough. However, they are doing their utmost to give them a twirl. There is an opinion that private vices are; public benefits. We have gamblers wh» preach up purity and felf denial in politics— we have men who privately intrigue and openly court the voters bo put them intw place, and *vho tell us how deadly a poison an office is to republican virtue. We have men who laugh at religion, at confidence, at public iaith, at the rights of| public and private cre ditors—who would pull down pt ieft-craft and government-craft, and all other craft except that which ftiall lie them into place. Ac cordingly more falfehoods have been printed againftthe government than there were plagues in Egypt. Now better men would boggle at the work of blackballing men and mealures. The work and the instruments to carry it on are well adapted to each other How lucky for our country that inasmuch as we .hive this ugly jobb to do, we have men raised up just fit to do it. 1 M.
