Ass. Ftuno,
AS your paper is conlidered all thro' America at
a found federal paper, and the rallying point of the
friends of thcconllitution and of good government,
your subscribers must view with pain any attempts
by the concealed enemies of both constitution and
'• good government, to injure its circulation, bjr ma
king it a vehicle of publications, difjufting to all
good federalifts. ' There are unfortunately papers
enough already, well disposed and «ager to diffemi-
Phi- naie pernicious sentiments and to poison the public
mind }in God's name, ,let the good federalifts have
one paper, free from disorganizing do&rines, let
! j < them have one repository for the fupportersof good
government. These sentiments have been drawn
forth by feeing a great many columns of your tru
■fe it 'y valuable paper Huffed, at this interedisg crisis of
our affairs, with calumnies against that virtuous pa
e 'p I triot, jfthn /Mams, by a writer, disguising himfelf
lcr '" j under the name of a federalijl, in order to excite
•'ad I ittcn, ' on among your readers, a trick, proceeding
:J in I f rom his consciousness that his writings alone would
eadjr I not merit.it. • 1 1
I Are iot the antifeJeralifls fatisfieJ with one pa- ;
I per ? Tliey have Bachit at their command, and .
have filled that for weeks past with their {lander. 1
res- j Wfjpt right have they to poach on federal ground ? I
rery j Be pfTured that this pretended federalilt is an enemy t
\in disguise, who is wire-drawing long, fophiilrcated 1
pieces, merely to tttclude the friends of Mr. Adams j
I from your paper, and to disgust your subscribers.
Are rot these very pieces republilhed'in the Auro- r
jra ? Does the slvrora publity with liberality, abuse f
against Mr. Jefferfon, or panegyrlcks on Mr. A- i
art- dams ? No—that paper is devoted altogether to qne fc
10 ft J fide—what -right have the antis to both papers, I:
when the frderalifis have only one ? These things h
are recommended to your serious consideration, by p

PHOCION—No. XXIV.
ipy ABOUT the beginning «f the year 1791, the f
its' house of representatives of the United States, re- lr
ferred !o the secretary of (late, a representation of w
I legiflatureof Malfachufetts on the (lecayt*tl [late u
0 f ®f the cod and tuhale JjJhenes. The object of the
reference was to eaufe an enquiry into the real (late ?
of the fifteriw, and to revive from the secretary, "
some plan of legislative aid. The representation . (
complained " that the fidieries laboured under ma- K '
ny and heavy embarraffmen's, which, if not remo- a . r
S ved or lessened, would render thrm every year lass
it- extensive and important, that these embarraflments
I weie, heavy duties on their produce abtoad, and
ilt bounties on that of their competitors, and duties at *»'
home on several articles, particularly used in the fifli- tC ,
j etics, and it asked* that those duties might be taken T
I off, that bounties might be given to the filhermen, .
apt and the national influtnee liftd abroad for •btaining
I letter markets for their produce." "
j Ihe course to be pursued by the secretary was
plain and simple—to inquire into the truth of the , C
I representation, and if tiue, to report some system of .' e
Initiative aid, either by taking off the duties, or y
j g' v '"g bounties, or using the influence of the go
j vernment with foreign nations, to procure better
I markets, or all of these measures. dij

nd tben ® alcfi ' " 'he market for th»
as greater part of our fpcrimca:ti oil; but, to conn.
teraft this circumllance, adds, "that the tenure by ,
which we hold the admiflion of this commodity in
>n their markets, is as precarious as it is hard j" -tho'
' in truth, in was, at Jeaft, as likely to be durable,
' o as the tenure by which, from his own account, we*
hold the admilfion into the French market, wheie
he had Rated, " that there was i particular (and,
he might have added, a powerful J interfl perpctudl
or h soliciting the exclujion of our tils."
a . Growing (till warmer on his favorite topic, lie
er adds, " Nor can it be announced, that there it my
dijpofition on thc part of England to arrange this
us °f an V ot her commercial matttfr, to mutual conve
tie nience ; the ex parte regulations which they have be
be B un > f° r mounting their navigation on the tuin of
of our's, can only be uppufrii by counter o<>
, our part."
Howevef reluctant thc secretary had been to give
|, ( any positive advice to congress, refpeds'ig the t{-
)e feutial aid which the cod-fifhery required, content- '
j,, ine himfelf with leaving that to their wisdom ; vet,
as here, his zeal for counter regulations againfl Great
re Britain, overcomes his diffidence, and lie plainly and
pointedly advises decisive and important measures.
f e Though evidently indifferent about Ihe prnfperity
ft or distress of the fifiiermcn, yet he is ready tofeize
on the intereftsand paflionsof the New Englardeu,
and embody them-on his fide, against thfir fappof
ed enemy, Great-Britain. But these prudent peo
i. p' e > too wile to be caught in such a snare, and too
| e well acquainted with the true interests of their
e country, were almofl unanimouHy opposed to Mr.
[, Jefferfon's plan of counter-regulations, which he
afterwards more fully developed, when cirtumftan
e cc ® prf-mifed a more fuccefsful refnlt. It wa-i not a
' Jt little surprising that he he (hould, thus early, Jiave
n complained of the disinclination of Great Brilain .
n to meet us in comm.'rcial arrangements. Mr
ferfon had not been many months in office under
the new government, which was then but in its in
.. fancy, and it was known that Great-Britain was
e about to fend a this country, who in
g deed arrived here within a few months after this
complaint.
Anxious as was the secretary, thus early, to sow
the feeds of commercial hostility againlt Great
t Britain, some fails incautioufiy escaped from hi*
pen, in this leport, of so unfavourable a complec
e tion t» France, he took special care, in his
. commercial report, to pass them by in silence, tho'
. they were full as relevant t* the fuhjeCl, as ihofe
n be then detailed refpefting the rival nation. Thus,
jn page 5, he fays, " the navigation of France, from
. being the most economical, was become the mofex
- penjivt of ar,y nation." This is the navigation, in
1 favour of which, he recommends in his commercial
1 report, the excltifion of British vessels. In the
| fame page he tslls 01, that, though the filhcjits of
. 'be United States were annihilated during the war,
5 and their markers in the Mediterranean and Brit/11
. America lolt, yet their produce wis dutiedin thee
. °f France. In page 9, he tells us, that, at this ci:-
. ticlal time, when the filhermen of the United States,
t left without r?fource by the fofs of their markets,
; began to think of accepting an invitation from 0.
. Britain, and removing, fonee to Nova-Scoua, and
I others to England, the government of France, not
inattentive to these proceedings, endeavoured to
prevent this emigration of our filhermen, by pro
mising, that our friends in France «*jgu!d do fcace
thing f#r them ; but that, irftead of doing any
thing ro induce them to ilay in the United States,,
the government of France, injidioujly, and contrary
