ork j-p fema j n , now to coofider the pacific meafurcs,
i as Hampden call's them, which Mr. Jefferfon re
' commended to Congress, while Secretary of State,
to the perfidious conduit of Great-Bri- ,
joi! tain, raeafures which he asserts, would have been
more advantageous than those which have taken
iffia place; this confidcration will neccffarily involve a ,
confideratiou of the diplomatic talents And political ;
figacity of the Secretary, which are asserted, by j
i; ns Hampden, to be not inferior to his republicanism ,
and unalterable attachment to liberty, (
These themes of panegyric are comprized fn the c
6th and jth divifwni of Hampden's Essay. a
As to the 9th and last, viz. " Mr. Jerfferfons' a
poffefling a fortune no less independant than his prin. j
ciples," it is so extraordinary a fubjeft of rdcom- j
mendationin.the quarter from which it comes, and
as applied tn this limple republican and zealousaa- t
mirer of irquality, that we are at a loss to account f
for its flipping into this panegyric ; we (hall only
ads remark, that, in this rcfpe£t Mr. Adams nuift yield
to Mr. Jefferfqn ; the former, having a large fami t
ly and a fmill fortunedaes certainly not boast of the t
ins pecuniary advantages of the latter, who has a very,
UIC I small family arid an independent fortune,
egj Among the advantages which may result from ft
this foperioritV of riches, that of being able to attach p
to a chief magistrate ufeful imd zealous fuppsrtirs f (
of his adminiftratinn, will not be the leait important. f
And if a salary of only two hundred and fifty dol- n
lars, on a former oceafion, could procure fHch sup- (l
port, what may not be expected from the independ
p ent fortune of a Piefident, the whole of which p
— might conveniently by applied to the pensioning of
> Printers and Partisans. ; t
The .Executive Directory of France keep in y,
their pay regular Journalists, who publish their pro- rc
ceedings, vindicate them from attacks and endeavor C e
to -write down their afTailants. These Journals are
called the Official Journals of the Directory, and m
are known to colt the government an imraenfe sum ti
annually. j 1(
or We cannot then doubt, that with so ufeful a tii
lesson before his eyes, and not scrupulous about the
ueaos, i£ they attain certain ends, a~rich President, t h
devoted to every thing which comes from tfiat coun- ar
try, not being yet allowed to apply the public mo- v ,
nev to fiich purposes, will find a valuable aid in his "
private refourcea. Having just reason to dread the bf
severe displeasure of the people for molt of his mea- ag
fures, it cannot be doubted that Writers will be m
kept in pay to vindicate his official conduit, .and to f 0
defame his opponents. q
With refpeft >o the measures recommended by co
Mr. Jefferfon, telounteraft those of Great-Bri- G
t. tain; they are so connected with his correspondence 0 f
with Mr. Hammond refpedting the non-execution
of the Tieaty of Peace, that, in order to have a c ] s
complete view of the fubjeft, it will be proper to M
advert a little to that correspondence, for which he R,
n has received so much applanfe from his Panegy- f m
ie rifts.
® It is not intended- to deny to Mr. Jefferfon tlyr tm
S merit of having devoted considerable pain* to the f o j
k collection and digesting of the materials which were 0 f

approbation for some /kill and ingenuity in com- we
menting upon tbem. But even were his epistolary h,
talents and his diplomatic (kill and ingenuity much
'j greater than they are admitted to be, by all those ] et |
v who have examined his works with more than a wo
, Superficial view, and are capable of judjririg of their OUI
c real merit, (till those talents and that (kill offer but agi

Great-Britain particularly that we were desirous
-« of obtaining a change in the exifling fyftcm. How.
m «tremely injudicious and unwise then was it to de
a clare, not only in his letter to Ger.ct but to Mr
° Merrit, that "we had no claim whatever on Greatl
•e Britain for a modification of the system, that he
fnculd be at a loft on what principles to demand it,

the fubjedt matter of the correfpondcnce did by no
- means require the full avowal of the right on the

r cicnt to have stated, that negociations with that
e country were then on foot, in which this matter x f
f would be attempted to be fettled advantageously
for France as wel| aa ourldves; or even if it had
been necessary, then the correfpondcnce, as far aa

Refpeflable fellow-citizens,
WHATEVER may be the relult of your ap
proaching deliberations, the interetts of this coun
try cannot fail to have been promoted by many ot
the difcuflions to which this great occasion will have
given rife. The numetous addresses to the peopiS
at large, to the state legiflaturee, and to yourfelvts,
will often bring truth and reason into the public
view, or expose to detefliort the improper measures
which piffion or unworthineis have induced tbs
parties to adopt. .
It is plain that those, who have necessarily reply
m a very late Lour have far the hardc.l talk, though
