Gazette of the United Stated PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER R. THE GRAND QUESTION STATED. At the present loir inn and momentous epoch, the only qawftion to be a&ed by ev ery American, laying his hand on his heart, is, " (hall I continue, in allegiance to . GOD— \ND A RELIGIOUS President; Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON— AND NO GOD !! i Tommy Cooper, the Manthefter manufac turer, is manuty&uring every day, whole ■VohiVnns of the Aurora.

'« How much ; t is to be regretted, by all i;ood citizens," to which honorable • title (fays Duane) I never had any pretention, " that in our political diftuffiOEs, there Ihould be so ftiamelefs ail abandonment of veracity among us," Jacobin printers and editors, throughout the United States.— " There are some men so prollituted to false hood, that repealed dete&ion and exposure, seem to have no effe.fl, in reclaiming them to the truth and I confefs, with freedom, that of this description < f men, am I, Wil li am Burnt. My " coifcirnce is feared ; the inceflant pratlice of lying, h- proportion ai they -hang htavy on oar fhouM rs—,nJ have grown wealthy by our ill-placed confidence have (he hardincts k impiety to inftilt our understandings, by proposing one of their greqteit dsfaulters as a chrf magis trate to rule ov r us. in For alt the regions of mans invention, it is plain to our concep lion, that no hi g could have been fixed oppn, which could so easily, so efiedtu..lly, and so r pidly eat up all our iubftance, and ,pnt an end to all our hopes by good govern .JTicnt. [ The above is, in plain Englifli, telling .Duane he is a liar, for he fays, that .the pre sent ufficrrs have not only misapplied but embeizhd the public money. A> f«r the future administration, we presume yosej and his man Sayre allude to the time when JeJpirson and his friendr have the fingering of the cusb: They may make themselves perfectly easy in this refpeft, as the people ■O/ America wilt convince them at the elec tion rthat they will not permit them to take care of the tieafury.] W. There has ju(l iflued from the press of G. F. Hopikins, No. 136 fearl-ftreet New- York, a pampMet entittled, " A toice of warning &c." which fimfhes in a master ly manner what the author of." Se-iout Confederations" began. What is in the one lightly touched, is in the other set in so lull, clear, and ftronga light, as to impress conviction upon the most unbelieving. If any even doubt of Mr. Jefferfon's infidelity and the part which they ought to ait. after ti .ding this pamphlet, to them sn.ay be ap plied to, justly these word of the Prophet iavitig ; " Seeing ye (hall fee, and (hall not -ne'reeive : For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing and "ant! their eyes they have closed ; left at any rime,they Ihoiild fee with their eye» and hear with their eurs, and fhoufd underltand wi h their heart ' —l his performance, for lucid order, accurate sentiment, llrenght of argu ment, fervent peity and n rv„uj style, ha< beep feldotp .exceeded. The remark will forcibly occur to eve>y reader, that the op ponents of Mr. jefferfon avail themfelvts of no unfair means.; all is honest, jntl. true, .and.congenial to the purest mind ; whereas .his advocates resort to perlonal abuse, and grofs.niifreprsfcntation ; proftffing a regard 'for Cbriftianity -they violate its sacred pre cepts.

' v BuriingL-ft C./sMity, -Ntrj-Jcrsj,- Scptemktr 19, 1800. J Mr Way:,e, | A stupid and ridiculous sddrefs, said j to be delivered a: a meeting of Republican ■j Citizens, of the County of Burlington, held in Springfield, on the 20th iiift, by their Chairman. Citizen Joseph Blooinfie'd, has been printed, And is now circul .ting in this C inn'ty. The ludicrous circusnftances atten ding this democratic affocistion, will short ly be given to the public', by Gentlemen who were present. I ftull, therefore, con fine my remarks to the address itfelf, as far as it is level with my undt-rftariding ; for indeed much of its phrafeojogy greatly tranf j cends the powers of common intellrdl.—. ! The profound addrefler begins by telling his I hearers, in a very clumsy manner, that in J Jersey they are deprived of their con-stitu j tionai right of fleeting, in the first instance the persons who sbal! cbuse the President and Vice President. If this right be con fticutional, how can the people be d-piived of it by the Legiflaiure ? Would not such an attempt render the elcilion invalid ? Wh.it fays the addrefler to Burr's own State, New.York ! The State upon which the Jacobins rely for their eleftion. Wiil he acknowledge that under the very eyes of this Hero, the NeWrYork Republicans de prive their fellow citizens of their constitu tional rights ! Was the addrefler ignorant of this violation of the rights of Msn, by his beloved democrats, or did he forget to remember it ? " Thomas Jcfferfon he fays has ditlinguidied hiinfelf throughout life in advancing the rights of man, and particular ly in advancing (these words alone can make sense of the phrase) the preservation of our Republican Government" —and yet this man, who advances the preservation of our government, countenances in New- York, and, 111 other States, and if eledlrd, it will be by a measure which the addrefler (ligmatizes as a flagrant violation of the rights of man, and of the constitution of this govtrnrsent. The mind of the addrefler mufl be too confufed for any ideas of con sistency. or he mud have regarded his hearers as labouring uxder great difficulty of intel left. He goes on to tell how" Thomas Jf-fferfon and Aaron Burr fought during ths>" Revolutionary w«r, in ellablilhing our Independence." What exclusive merit have they in this, supposing it to he true. We have beard indeed of Mr. Jefferfon aban doning his poll, and flying from tlie enemy, but of his fighting, the less that is said, the better. But admitting the fact, is everv man that fought, to be a President ? Should this be the cafe, even the addrefler himfclf might look tarwaid in his turn, when twen ty or thirty thousand Prefiaents had filled the chair before him. He acquaints his hearers in the next place, that " neither I homas Jefferfon nor Aaron Burr have (tor por I fuppolc) '• been corrupted by an edjeatton jcoo nnleS from America,* nor have they been Mioill-rs to the mod corrupt court in the world. They have not written eulogiums 011 the Engiilh Conflitu tion and Laws, and approved of the intolle ration (mark this word, gentle reader) Vof the intolleration of tythes and exclnfive rights to particular profeflors of Chriftia- ■ nity." With what reluftance does my pen copy such ineffable nonsense t Is it poflible that such absurdities can bias any rational creatures ? The addreflirr must have laughed i» his flreve when he uttered them ; if he did not, we must rather pity than con demn him. Here then the addrefler has made the prodigious discovery, that a man must neceflarily be corrupted, becauf? he is e ducated 300 c miles froin America, f How j this discovery may apply to Generals Mont gomery, Lee, Gates, Knox, Mercer, and many others ; to at least two thirds of the Democratic leaders in Viginia, to John Dic kinlon, Dr. Logan, and to mod of the pre sent subaltern democratic fquatl,—Diilan ; br caufe being better acquainted with the cor rupt intrieues and pra dices of this Court, they would be more able to defeat their influ ence upon this country ; hut the addrefler fuppsfes these gentlemen must be infr&ed by the corruptions of this court. On what rea sons can he possibly bottom such a suppositi on ? Is not Mr. Adams's antipathy to Eng land so well known, as to difjuft even some of his warmest friend-'. Instead of being cor rupted, he conceivrd himfclf flighted by the Court of St. James's. Nay, within the compafj of a page, (such is the mental habi. tilde *f chis addrefler) Mr. Adams is seid to be under British influence, and to keep an eye upm th- Finckneyt', because be susfi-ct ed them to be under the same influence. OTe Bollane, &c. kc. These fame words British Influence are a kind of charm, a ma gical talisman with the unthinking and un informed, like the tors la loi of the Sans- * If this Slab-Towr?

It appears that Mr. Pinckney dilcovered fame little corruptions lurking aoout tliele immaculate democrat?, and what is more he prtTum-a to divulge tlibm. Hence the anti pathy of the whole party to thii . undaunt ed and illustrious patriot. Their Hero would never have thwarted the machinations of the Direttorial junto. The glorious cause ofil l«m>natifm,otherwifi called jacofiinifm would have juftified any means however base, to pro mote it. With the initiated into thisJyjlem,irA pofition, misrepresentation and falfehood are always allowable from the official intrigUes at a court down to the addrejjing Chairman of a country meeting. Wer« not this principle eflabliftied among Demo rats how could the addresser compliment Mr. JefFerfon as the champion, or censure Mr. Adams as the enemy of religious liberty in this coun try ? this liberty is coeval with the indepen. dence of rh.cfe States ; it conltitutes an es sential article in our revolutionary character. With refpedt to profefling chriftiars, all the States have fa idtioned it, aid our present constitution fully nflahlifhes it. Is it not therefore a despicable imposition to ascribe thiii liberty to the agency of Mr. JefFerfon or Aaron Burr—Let me a(k the addresser this qudtioii ; did Mr. Adams'or Mr. Pinck ney ever, in any inftauce, countenance or uphold a priviledged church ? I dare him to anlwer in the affirmative ; wherefore then all his incoherent rhapfndy about the Epif eopal Church ? can he be really so tranf cendant'y vain and weak as to imagine that other societies of chridians will be flatreied by the compliments which he pays them at the expense of a church which has ever been distinguished for its liberality and modera tion ! but it feetns the addresser has a pecu liar antipathy to this Church. Is it mere ly because this Church is the Church of England or because he conceives it to be the chief obdacle to the dissemination of infidel principles? In the former fupp. fition, he evinces his low prejudice—ii the second, he pays a compliment, which any chriltian society would rejoice to defrrve —To what church the addrefler belongs it would pro bably be difficult to determine, but certain it is that his hero belongs to none, and holds in equal contempt all tbofe who confefs the name of the Lord Jefus —" Againlt this man, continues the: addrefler " is raised the resentment of the Eplfcopal Clergy, and they are induced to declaim on every occa sion againd him as a man of no now what reason, can you devifg, . gentle reader, does the addrefler this conduft of the Episcopal Clergy ? because, forfooth. " neither Chriltian or Jew is now compelled to pay tythes, and support Epif copacy"—Tne Chairman's hearers null certainly have concluded that Episcopacy or Bishop; were formerly established over the continent and that'tythes were paid by all to support them ; the Chairman'even Mr Chairman knew better ; ht knew that in Maryland and Virginia only, a fniall capi tation tax of 49 pounds of tobacco was paid to the Episcopal Clergy, then almost the only ministers of religion in those colo n es. Tythes of any other nature wire ut terly unknown and as Salmon tells us §" full live ly ofconfcience was allowed to all other persuasions." At the revolution thi» pub lic support ceased of course not from any special exertions of Mr. JefFerfon, but from the very nature of the government that suc ceeded the colonial eltablilhment;. The addrefler therefore dupidly miftakei or ma liciously misrepresents the motives of the few (I might fay of the two or three) Epis copal Clergymen who have opposed Mr. JefFerfon ou the score of religious opinions--- Why the addresser omitted to make menti on of the unanswerable obfervali}i; (Ition ii/ y/'iluwn »K - >ll i.v. £j.
