pose For them the elevating condition of political
freedom."
The writer evades the second part of the charge,
which mark* Mr. Jefferfon's inconsistency, viz. Lis
letter to Banneker, the Negro, wherein he assert* the
equality of the natural genius of the black* with
the white* ; he i* totally Went in refpeft to that fa
mous letter, which was a direct contradiction to his
opinions, exprefled in the note* on Virginia ; but
he proceed* to explain Mr. Jeffetfon's emancipati
on scheme, which he telis us was only to operate
in favor of the posterity of the Negroes. This ex
piai.nti.in makes the matter worse, a* far as it would
h«v. afc-fted the interefb of the Southern states :
the pirfent holder* of (laves would not thank Mr.
Jefferfon for leaving them all the old, ftiperannua
tc< -['<*. useless Negroes, and liberating all the voting ,
and ui'cfui or.es ; such a scheme woulJ be indeed a . , ,
«eP'ifvation of the injury. What piov/Tion is a '
Souihern planter, whoGe whole wealth is derived ' i
from Haves, to make for his children, if =11.the I ]
young Negroes are to be set free, as soon as born, j |
or at the age, when they begin to be ufeful, and all , <
the old Negroes are to be left on the estate as a bur- ;
den ? If Mr. Jefferfon's scheme is to take place, (
much Letter to liberate them all at once, old and t
young. c
The writer next attempt* to apologize for Mr. c
Jefferfon'* ttanfportation projefi, by alfcrtiag that
there was to be no feiziog and (hipping and bind- t
ing, but they were merely to be colonized, he does g
not fay where, but thinks the interior part of Vir- f,
ginia or Kentucky: this, however, by no means fl
agrees with Mr. Jeffeifon's views, for he expressly p
fays in his Nates, p. 154, "the Have, when freed, g
mud be removed beyond the reach of mixture;"
and thereforecolonieing them into the isterior parts
of Virginia would not prevent the evil apprehend
ed, that of staining the Wood of the white*. If
is evident then that his object was to (hip them to
fomeforeign eeuntry, that it wasfome projefillike
that afterwards adopted by the Sierra Leone com
pany, who sent a number of free persons to the
v eoaft of Africa, where many of them miserably
peri(hed.—The term Colonizing impoits a fend,
ing to some remote country ; and the other part of
this wild projedl, namely, " the fending veflels, at
the fame time, to other parts of the world for an si
equal number sf white inhabitants," clearly con- w
firms it. The idea was, to fend of these emanci- h
pated black children in the vessels which were to F
bring back an equal number of whites. This very r<
Extravagant proieft the apologifi dwell* on as an F
evidence of Mr. Jefferfon'* humanity and mae;nani- d
mity. The black children, it i* to be observed, t;
were to be, against their cohfeot, feparatcd frcm g
their parents, and colonized to fame dillant region P
Suppose they rcfufed to go, mud they not be feix- w
ti, bound and compelled to go ?—lf not, the ai
proje<a would fall through ; and to complete the t<
humanity and magnanimity of this noble scheme, d'
the poor old parents, thus bereft of their children, R
were to remain in slavery, deprived of that which
•lone can render old age comfortable, the aid and fl'
company of their children. 01
Such was the pr. jea of this great p 1 ilofopher, si
philanthropic an A fhilontgrjjl! b<
The writer attempt* to retort the charge of in- b<
confiflency on Phpcion, for accusing Mr. Jrfferfon cii
atone time of degrading the blacks, attd at anorher
of lefriending them : Piiociori stated the fa 3, to (hew
Mr. Jefferfon's inconsistency ; the truth is that Mr.
Jefferfon has injured his chara&er with many of the
friends of abolition by his degrading opinion of the
black*, and he has alarrped many of the Southern
citizens by his projed of emancipation ; andthtts
it alway* is with inconjijlent charters, who aim at
pleafmg every body—ihefe half-way politicians mult
, count upon perpetually ititangling 1 hcmfelves in con- ,
traditions. ">
The writer is furpri«d that Mr. Jefferfon Iksiild f°
ke censured for wishing to emancipate the blacks, |"
when all the Southern dates, except Georgia, have
prohibited the (lave trade. Does this writer sup- J l "'
pose that the people of those states are so blind, as
not to fee the difference between prohibiting the im
portatton of any more slaves, and emancipating those
already in the comitry ? Mr. Jefferfon, he tells us,
had proposed an article in the Declaration of Inde
pendence, censuring the king* of Gieat-Britain for °[
annihilating the American laws to prohibit the flave
trade. Mr. Jefferfon carried the firfl law in Vir- d<
ginia for abolifting the slave trade. Mr. Jefferfon 1,1
in conformity with the equal birth rights of men! f"
prepofed in Virginia a plan for emancipating all "j
slaves born after passing ,h e Admit all this, f 1
yet the fame Mr. Jefferfon did propose that, when b .-
freed, they (hould be transported or colonized to
some d.ftant region, beyond the reach of mixture. "

ry reported that day, that in consequence of the g;
sn French army retiring towards the Rhine, after Jour- w
11- d.m's check, the Imperial army had advanced and cs
d, taken pofl'eflion of Frankfort. The other 1 letter
m gave it as the report of the day, that the king of
n Pruflia and the prince of HefTe Cafie! had declared '
z- war against the Emperor. The Northern French
be army, which was in Holland, had received orders
tc to reinforce Jourdan. In consequence of these or
e, ders, 20,00 c French troop* had marched for th& S
