PROPOSALS
Ext'aft from the Mivutrs,
JOHN MEASE, CM.
A N D
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Fen no,
In all discussions where the paflions are
those who anxieufiy seek a par
ticular and favorite object, are too ready
to atfcrib'e to their opponents motives lcfif
virtuous than those by which they are
themfekes itiftilcnced. And yet, little
>efle<fti'6n is requifitC to convince us of
the folly of fu'ch condufft- Each party
berng fixed irf a certain opinion, it is as
much the right of one fide to retort the
suspicion, as it is that of the other toffu r
gelt it. Sutfh mutual recrittiinations nei-
jjhjr convince nor throw light on the fub
jeft in cunt eft. It leaved the question where
We found it. If Peter thmks we are hound
to support France in the present war, and
Robert thinks otherwise, does it follow
that Peter is bribed by the French Mint
fter, and Robert by the Britilh ? And
will such a charge, made by the one and'
retorted by ttoe other* fettle the question ?
Peter fhoi ild make good his opinion by
reasonings, which if they do not convert
Robert, would at least convince the pub
lic, that he was right, and Robert wrong :
Robert h»s ths fame right to support his
opinion and to adduce the arguments
which he desms calculated to produce
that efTeft. If they do not produce the
effect on each other, they at any rate ena
ble the publi*. to form a proper opinion.
If one citizen of a free country believes
that his nation has been insulted by a fo
reign nation ; that if is neceflary to wage
war against that nation to vindicate the
honor of his country, and that there is a
ccrtainty of fucceft: Is it not permitted
to another citizen, without being fubjeft
to the charge of furtugn influence, to
(hew that the insult has not been received,
that if it had been received, negociatioir
ftfould fifft be attempted ; that even if ne
gociation has failed, it may be more ex
i pedient for the present to endure it, than
to hazard the calamities of war. If any
citizen entertains these sentiments, is he
not bound in duty, as well as juftified, in
declaring them ? If he considers war as
the greatest of misfortunes to his country,
atod that with a littfe prudence and mode
ration, it may be avoided—would he act
the part of a good citizen, were to fuf.
fer the fear of unpopularity to swerve him
from his duty ? If those who are eager
for war, should overrate the Itrength of
this countiy, and underate that of the
enemy, is it criminal to (hew, that tho'
stronger in some refpe6ts, we are weaker
in others, that » eonteft even if fuccefsful
mull be injurious, and that the object de
sired is moie likely to be attained by peace
than war ? When Britain, in the days of
her pride, attempted to subjugate the co
lonies, thole patriots who flood forth and
exclaimed against the folly of the attempt,
who urged the strength of America for
feltdefence, and the irapotency of the
British arms and navy against us, Burke,,
Barre, Shelburne, Fox and Chatham,
were stigmatised by the war party, as ene
mies to the British glory ; we however
considered them as Britain's truest friends ;
and yet they extolled the resources of this
country, and depreciated those of their
own,
Had their counsel been purfued,Britain
'tis-probable would not haveloftwhat was
called the brightest jewel in the British
crown. But the advocates for war, by
inflaming the paflions, pride, and preju
dices of the people,, bore down all the
oppolition which was made by the virtu
ous patriots of those days, and plunged
their country into calamities, which bro't
upon the ministry the execration of that
nation.
Thus, tho' we are strong for felkde
firnce, yet if we should eitibaik in the pre-
Cent war, expose our commerce to the
fleets and cruisers which cover the ocean
—and ourfea-ports to be laid in-afhes
our revenues to be annihilated—and our
credit destroyed, or supported with diffi
culty by recourse to a land tax. The ca
[Whole No. si<Jj]
lamitJes which vCill inevitably follow,
excite the just indignation of the people
igainlt the ihrthort of them, While tfiofe
who, even at the expence isf ear pride
and national vanity,- tinavailingly endea
voured itt stem the torrenty will be. re
garded as the genuine patriots anil true
friends of fheir country.
"1 hefe ftntiments have bien drawil from
meby aperufal of the repeated abuft in one
of your city papers against those who are
advocates for peace and whom I call my
country's btft friends. I have fuffered e
nough fav or* war ; I am flow jots getting

Saturday last #as i very noble day of
t ra _de in this city; on a moderate ellimatc,
it is presumed, the purchafea and faff# of
produce and merchandize exceeded 53,000
dollars. Of the article of Wheat,befweeiv
25 and 30*000 buihels were brouglVf to
tin's market—a quantity far exceeding the
receipts of any one day since the fettie
ment of this country. The price of
wheat rose durwig the <ky, from 7s. ?d.
7 s - to Bsi or the highefl: price betw«ferr
this and iff March. This last mode of
purchase i* truly novel, and must be con
vincing to the former that the merchants
of this city are too independent to form
combinations.
The proffwtt of abundance of MAPLE
SUGAR being made the present season,
is faidto be very flattering. In the wes
tern countits, this article is already be
coming oiK of their principal remittances.
In several of which it is brought to very
great perfection, particularly in Otfego,
where it receives that degree of patronage
which is due to so important a' branch of
our manufactures.
We are aflilred, that upwards of foo
hear! of cattle have been disposed of fhc
last season, by the citizens of Otfegt*
county, and driven to different markets ;
besides the beef put up for their own eon
fuiApMßs.

Prince Cobourg arrived here on Satiir.-

his arrival, and in tlie evening {hewed
himfelf at the theatre, when the whole
house resounded his name in bursts- of ip
plaufe. The arch duke Charles, who was
present, was highly affected by these marks
of love for the General, and loudly joined
in the general voice.—"Phis prince, on Ri»
part, moved even to tears, rose, made 3
low bow to the arch duke, then
to the audience, exdaimed, " Long Live
the Emperor! Long live the archduke!"
The performance was delayed half an hour
