c By, William Gobwin.
THE reputation of this work is already well efta
. blilhed in Europe—lt is hardly necefTary for an Ame
rican editor to fay more than barely to mention, that
'' th c Enqniry concerning Political Justice has' ever
t- since its publication been a favorite performance with
the friends of republican government. The llile is
- pure, nervous, and classical ; the ideas are ftrongl*
marked by an original vein of thinking ; and, amoa'gft
a multitude of other jtift and ftrikiug passages, the
author's delineation of the peculiar infelicities iufepa

Head of rendering mine jUnneceflary, ii the only cause
that calls for its eftablifliment.
I he gazettes in this country have done it mare real in
jury than all its open enemies ever did or can do. They
mislead the people at home 'and misrepresent them a
broad. It was these vehicles of sedition and discord
that encouraged the counties in the Weft to rebel ; it
was they that gave rife to the depredations of Britain,
by exciting the people to such a<fts of violence againit
that nation, as left no roem to doubt that we were ( de* i
termiiaed on war ; and it was they, when an accom
modation had been happily effected, that'ftirred up art
opposition to it such as has seldom been witnefled, and
which was overcome by mere chance. These gazettes

people, encouraged the French to proceed from one
degree of insolence to another, "''till at last their Minis
ter bi ares the President in his ehair, aatd a bullying
commander conies and tells us that his only 'business is
to leize our vessels, in violation of a treaty, in virtue
ot which alone he claims a right to enter our ports : and
it is these gazettes that nowhaYe'the impudence to de»
fenu what their falfehood and malice have produced.
_ I shall be told that the "peopW are to blame; that
tney are not obliged to read these abominabfc publica
tions. But they do read them ; and thousands who
read them, read nothing else. To suppress them is Im
pofiible; they will vomit forth'fhcir poison ; it is a pri
vilege of their natures, that no law ®an abridge; and
therefore the only mode left is, to countered its effeflj.
This must be done, too, in theirownferay. Books,
or periodical publications in the form of books, •*" J
be of some service, blit are by no means i match for
their flying folios. A. falfebood that remains uneontra
t-nSed for a month, begins to bfc looked upon as a truth,
and when the detection at last makes its appearance, it
is often as nfelefs as that of the do<sVor who finds his
patient expired. The only method of Cppqfltion, then,
is to meet them on their own grouiid ; to set foot to
foot ; dispute every i&eh and every hair's breadth;
fight them at their own weapons, a»d return them two
blows fbr one-
A gazette of this stamp is whall Tiive long wilhed to

better of all diffidence in my owntapacity, andhasdc
termined me to eneounterthe talk. People have heard
