January aB, 1797. Porcupine's Gazette. Propolkls by WILLIAM CObBETT, oppolite Christ Church, Philadelphia, for publi(hing a news-paper, ' v to be entitled Porcupine's Gazette, $S* Daily Advertiser. Methinks 1 hearthe reader exclaim ; " have we not Gazettes enough already ?" Yes, and far t»o many: but those that we have, are, in general, con duiled in such manner tlrat their great number, in llead of rendering mine unnecessary, is the only cause that for its eftabliihmcnt. The gazettes in this country have done it more real in jury than all its open enemies ever did or can do. They mislead tlie people at home and misrepresent them a broad. It was these vehicles of sedition and discord that entouraged the counties in the Well to rebel ; it was they that gave rife to the depredations of Britain, by exciting the people to such ails of violence against t:iat nation, as left no room to ctoiibt that we were de termined on war ; ami it was they, when an accom modation had been happily effeiled, that llirred up an opposition to it such as has seldom been witneiTed, and whieh was overcome by mere chance. These gazettes it was, that, by mifrcprefenting the dispositions of the people, encoifraged the French to proceed from one degree of infelenceto another, 'till at last their Minis ter braves the President ill his chair, aad a bullying commander comes and tells us that his only bufinefi is to feizc our vellels, in violation of a treaty, in virtue of which alone he claims a right to enter our potts : and it is these gazettes that now have the impudence to de fend what their falfehood and malice have produced. 1 ihall be told that the peopl* are to blame ; that they are not obliged to read these abominable publica tions. But they do read them; and thoulands who read them, read nothing else. To fupprels them is Im possible ; they will vomit forth their poison ; it is a pri vil*ge ef their natures, that no law <ian abridge ; and therefore the only mode left is, to counterail its effeils. This must be done, too, in theirown way. Books, or periodical publications in the form of books, may be of some ferviee, but are by no means a match for their flying folios. K f&lfebeod that remains uncontra dicted for a month, begins to be looked upon as a truth, and when the detection at last makes its appearance, it is often as useless as that of the doitor who finds his patient expired. The only method of opposition, then, is to meet them on their own ground ; to set foot to foot ; dispute every inch and every hail's breadth ; fight them at their own weapons, and return them two blows for one* A gazette of this ftarap is what I have long wilhed to fee, but I have wilhed and expeilfd it in vain. Indig nation at the fupinenefs of otheis has at last got the better of all diffidence in my own capacity, and has de termined me to encounter the talk. People have heard one fide long enough ; they (hall now hear the other. CONDITIONS. 1.
