For the Gazette of tht United States.
Mr. Fenno,
There is a propensity in our nature that
I inclines every man, even the molt profli
gate, to wish his neighbor to think
ast as he does himfelf; and it would be a
great happiness for mankind if those who
maintain the bell doctrines or tenets, were
the moll industrious in endeavoring to pro
pagate them. The contrary however is
too often the cafe.
To apply these truths tp the present
politics of the United States; we find at
the molt critical juncture of our public
affairs, when felf preservation calls aloud
foi temper, union, and the whole force
and power of the nation, a number of de
ligning men who are the grand movers of"
a certain party, and some of them receiv
ing either a salary or daily pay from the Na
tional or State Treasuries, empkiying a
large portion of their time in wriHng pam
phlets, addrefies for focietios, letters and
pieces for the papers, all calculated to
mislead the public mind, subvert the ne
ceflary measures of government; and if
polhble, deftroythe confidence of the peo
ple, even in a Wajhington.
The objedt these men have in view is
to bring about a revolution of men or mea .
Jurei, or both—getthemfelves and friends
completely into power, and polTefs the
reigns ot government. It matters not to
them which they accomplish firil, because
they believe their ends would be answered
in ether cafe. This being the leading con .
hderat.on in all their politics, etery circum
stance that occurs in the course of events
is attempted in some way or other to be
made subservient to that end ; and it is
sincerely believed they would freely involve
this happy country in all the calamities of
war, or even put the very exillence of the
conlhtution and government to the utmost
hazard, rather than fail in their defies
and ni hopes t>f by a scheme I
of anarchy and coufuUon. • in-'
Thole very, men or their predeceilors
have been conilantly employed in endea
voting to Itir up a spirit of discontent and
uneafiiiefs, but the wisdom an.d prudence
of the government aided by the wbergoed
sense of the people, has in a great mealure
baffled their designs ; and had it not been
for the wait between France and England
and its consequent evils, they would long
since have been at a loss for fubje&s of a
nimadversion or materials to. with.
It waS found ifcat an oppofitwn to the
coiillitutipn would be np longer lillened to,
that the fiibjedls of the bank, funding ly*-
tem, and exciffc were become raihei ilale,
at least that they would not Jo hngly tr
alone to inflame the pailions; hence Frcr.ch
politics were laid hold of \yith cabernets
by all hands, and a bold attempt madt,
under, as I may fay, the administration
of Mr. Genet in the course of kit summer,
to drag us immediately into a war wit'u
England, either by an aggreflion on the
part of bur'citizens, or to provoke one
from her; contrary to the sense of the
President and every sober man in the Uni
on, and wlien there was neither any jufl
cause or obligation whatever . exiting.
How far their proceedings may have in
fluehced the late conduct of the British
court, it is impossible to fay, but we know
certainly that their politics have been in
jurious to this country.
Unfortunately the Bty'tiTh are foolifh
and wicked enough to do the very thing
these people wish, and they are only un.
easy at present, leuit the business of war
(hfluld be impeded by negotiation or a re
turning good difjiofition on the part of
Britain. These are the patriots who op
pose their politics to, and endeavor to per
suade u3 to distrust the man that fconduft
ed us with fafety through the tempeits of a
revolution and l'even years war ; when fume
of the champions and of the pre
fect day were either indulging in youthful
pleasures, or paying homage to a British
governor, and v.'ho in cafe of real danger
would probably be found only in a place
of fafety.
A prejudice with regard to ancient
forms of government, heightened by the
aTpfflTßr 'altgfijl - ■
tions, has led some of. us to think too
lightly of the real ules of religion and gc- „
vcrnment to society. Like men in a (late
of intoxication, we are displeased with
those who retain and cxercife 'kfi' reason,
and call them by the rf
peciuity if the% are public officers. This (late
of the public mind, the artful antfdffign. ,
ing politician takes advantage of to pro
mote his views of ambition and revenge ;
and it may be relied upon as a fadl, that
disturbing the peace of a nation, or the
deftrudtion of a government, are but small
obflacles in the way of such partisans:
therefore the people will make their elec
tion.
It seems to be the wish of the party to
engage in a war with the combined pow
ers without any kind of prepaiation to
carry it on, and to take chance for railing
ways and means afterwards bv laws to be
adapted to the occasion and circuniftan- ;
ces, according to modern usage.

A DEMOCRAT.
2d June, I 794.
To the Editor of the General Advertiser,
Sir,
our paper of this morning, deserves
honorable mention—and by all true Demo
cratic Societies (hall have it. Your Cor
respondents have hitherto been actuated
by a little too much timidity in their at
tacks upon the President, and have rather
attributed his bad conduct too evil coun
sellors ; but this morning, the attack is
bravely, and without disguise, aimed at
the President; and, in addition to this,
it is infinitely well-timed, they know the
iubjedt of a bill, defining certain crimes
andpuni/hments, was to come before Con
giefs this day. I like to fee such virtu
ous exertions so popped in upon the fac
tion ; it will confound them and help our
iide, in Congress, to arguments.
Another happy mode they have adopted, .
that js, denominating the majority of Con.
grefs « fiiflion, now that dcferves more
honorable n,ci;;.on than any thing they
have done before, no rr.aitti how nume
rous they are, so long as they difagrec
with our Society—, them *..faflion
If- all Congrcf; unite—call them a fac
tion. It our precious ones in
Congress are few; but is not a gteat fac
tion Worfc than a little one, or a nufae
rous faction worll of all ? I once thought
our Editor had become temifs, and had
forgotten 0411 declining cause—but this
morning, he lias" not only atoned for pafl;
neglcft, but laid up in [lore a rich fund
of lupcrerogation. I Ihall move a resolve
in his favor, the next meeting of our so
ciety, What, fuffci' CojigreJs and the
Prehdent to go on con flit u'ionally, to
make laws, whether we like thein or not >

The REMEMBRANCER—iVo. I.
Of late it has become fafhionable, in
certain companies, to throw out the giof
felt abide agaiiil'c Cotigtefs, and to consider
that body as having fubmiited but too
patiently to very flagrant injuflfcs.
In trying this charge we ihall take it
for granted, that Great Britain has en
couraged and aided the forages to destroy
our frontier inhabitants ; set the Al
gerines upon 11s ; and ipade Algeiines of
her own ittbjefts in tfie Weft Indies, to
annoy, uul; il poilible, aiiiiiliilate our
ttadc : And, further, that her'ministry
have only waited for. a good pretext, that
might Unite her own people againli this
country,. to' commence open and actual
war. W will allo iuppofe, that the de
predations commuted by Great Britain,
on our trad and territory, would jullify
the United States 111 recurring to arms.
The United States being thus threat
ened with wat by Great Britain, we as
sert that it was a duty of CohgrtiJ to en
ter upon preparations to meet it.
What, :n this ''- nation of things, have
n ... diiicu' Have they heinuuatri- ,
maus to pr..mSfc'ac.-.jan• .. ; r*ssfS3fot
has there beeu a uniform, fvftematic, and
; powerful opppfition in that body agamit
warlike preparations ?
Tt is well known that there ci'ft twj
parties in Congress ; it is nefeflary, there
fore, to a proper fohition of the! ques
tions, to be well informed of the con
dun i>f each party refpeft.velv, in orilfir
that, if blame has beert incurred by ei
ther, we may know to which it belongs.
We have taken it for granted, that the
cu rid Lift of Great Britain has been, for a
long trme pa It, so hostile to the CJnited
States, as to inalx preparations for war
indifpenfibfc.
One party proposed to threaten an<}
frighten with a tianfer of our
trade to France, a fequeiiiation of the
debts owing bv our citizens to her mer
chants and manufacturers, a llon-impor
, tation adt, and with ftaiving her Weil In
dia Islands by embargo; which meafares
were to compel Grewr Britain to drt the
United States justice, and d op her hos
tile intentions tewards them ; after which
trade wa/ to return in its old chann l.
The other party opposed these plans
as c.rfuaiuiiig no principle of refillance,
in cafe of war; as bein j equally injuri
ous in their operation to the trade and in
terests of the United States as to Great
Britain ; and as aiFoftiing the Britifli
court what it was said they wanted —
matter to render war with the United
States popular, or a pretext for commen
cing actual holfilities. They called up
on the party for threattnfng andfright
ening, (if they believed what they atTert
ed refpefting the designs of Great Bri
tain ) to join with them in placing the 11-
nite.l States in a situation to meet war by
defenfive preparations. They proposed,
therefore, to equip a finall fleet, fortify
our harbors, raise a provisional anny, and,
in the mean time, try the cifeit of nego
tiation.
The party for threatening and fright
ening England, opposed the equipment
of snips, fortifying uu." harbors, and a
provisional army.
After a long struggle, the party for
negoeiatioii and defenfive nuafures pre
vailed. Jliftiee is to be demanded irnm
