w •-C Xjft PHILADELPHIA, Thursday EVOKING, y«s 1 so r//£ public. HAVINCj seen with great furprlze in forie of the public newspapers an' attack upon my judicial character, signed with the name of Mr, Cabell, a member of Con gress, I think it proper to take some notice of it, on account of a riiidake in point of faft which he seems to have committed.— From the tenor of his obfervat;ions, any one would conclude lhat I wrote the charge he condemns vvh a view to draw forth a censure upon him or some other members of Congrels who had written circular letters to their ddndituents. The truth is, I never knew that Mr. Cabell had writteri any circular letter at all, until I heard the pre sentment read in Court, nor have I seen the letter alluded tQ to this hour. I had in deed seen printed letters of one or two other members of Congress from the fame State, but had them not in my thoughts when I prepared that charge, which I wrote delibe rately in Philadelphia, in order to be deli vered in Maryland and Virginia. The fame fcharge was delivered fubdantially in both States, and without a view to any particu lar person. With regard to the sentiments of that charge, I am ready on all proper oc casions to vindicate every word of it, as well as the propriety of delivering such a charge on fiich ari occasion. In the mean time, I have a right to expect, that if the charge be censured, it shall be censured for what it re ally contains, and hot for what exiits merely in the imagination of the cenfurei". I have Do hesitation in faying, that if it has the tendency Mr. CabelL ascribes to it, it does, ia my opinion, deserve a severer censure than any he has bellowed upon it. The conduct of the Court after the pre ferment has incurred Mr. Cabell's cen sure. It is difficult to fay what can escape it, if theconduftof the Court on that occa sion cannot. They knew not such a pre ferment was in contemplation. It was brought into CoUrt the fame day that the charge was delivered, and without any ad journment having taken place, and agreeable to the usual practice, I presume, in Virgi nia, (though different from that in forae otbei* States) was read by the Clerk-with out even being seen by the Court. None of the circular letters which were the objeft of the presentment was produced to the Court, nor in poffeflion of the Judges. The Jury were aiked if they had any business to re quire t?.eir attention longer, or if they wish ed to flay to coftfider of any. They an swered in the negative. The Attorney for the United States was asked if he wished them to be detained longer. He declared he knew of no occasion for it. They were then discharged. Were the Court to cate chise the Jury for their censure of a publi cation which they themselves had'never seen? Or to direst a prosecution upon a publica tion without knowing the contents of it ? Ought they in any indance indeed to direst a prosecution in the presence of the Attor ney, within whose particular department it lies, and when no occasion calls for their immediate interposition ? Were they to in terfere unnecessarily, they might justly be charged with becoming parties to a prose cution and incapacitating themselves from the impartial conduft of Judges afterwards. Whatever might be the intention of the Jury, which was composed of very respec table men, it has been a frequent praftice in some of the southern States for Grand Ju ries to present what they considered as grie vances though they could not be the foun dation of a Criminal prosecution in the Court. I have known such presentments containing very heavy charges against the Government itfelf. It never occurred to me to be proper to suppress a praftice which I found established, whether the exercise of it was agrjeable to my private sentiments. or not; and I incline to think, had the Grand Jury at Richmond, inilead of presenting those circular letters, presented any obnoxi ous aft of the Government, and the Court by an exertion of power had arbitrarily sup pressed the presentment, it would have been the fubjeft of a very virulent—and poflibly a very juft—inveftive,by some of those per sons who have no scruple in condemning the Court for not interfering with this. With regard to the illiberal epithets Mr. Cabell hasbeftowed, not only on me, but on the other Judges of the Supreme Court, I leave him in full poffeflion of all thf cre dit he can derive from the use of them. I defy him or any man to shew, that in the exercise of my judicial charafter, I have been ever influenced in the flighted degree be any man, either in or out of office, and I assure him I shall be as little influenced by this mode of attack by a member of Con gress as I can be by any other. JAMES IREDELL. Edenton, North Carolina, June 2IJ, 1797. Those Printers who have published Mr. Cabfll's observations are requeficd to publijh the above. Extraft of a letter from D<jftor Samuel H. P. Lee, Member of the Connefticiit Medical Society to Elijah Perkins, M. D. of Philadelphia, dated New London, June 16th, ,1797. In the course of my praftice with Doftor Perkins's Patent Mefellic Instruments, a very extraordinary cafe of Aerpes Exedens, or what is commonly called, salt Rheum, or Tetter, came under my notice, and as the points wholly perfefted the cure, I will give you a short hidory of the complaint, as it had appeared during near 14 years. Mr.E.F. Inn keeper,in my neighbourhood, applied to me for relief some time lad February, I found him fitting in an easy chair, cloathed in a loose gOwn, and apparently exhausted for want of deep' and reft. He informed me that he h?.d not been able to lay in bed, or wear any other cloaths than i'aofe liar,en for neat three months,. that his disorder raged most during the winter months, that his drength failed Turn, his appetite bad, and that he had nearly despaired ever recovering From this recurrence of his complaint. On examining the fitrface of his body, it was one continued ulcer ; the breaking out of the Rheum was followed by a copious dis charge of bloody sanies, Which colleftihg ind adhering to the furface of his body be came of a fc »jby like appearance, and by their irritation produced a colieftion of pu rulent matter. The superior extremities, the head, neck and bread were incurdated entirely with scabs, and inflamed fores, some of the Glands greatly swelled and very pain ful ; the legs and feet swelled and ulcerated. Fife informed me that this was the condition he had been in for several years, but never i before so bad as now, that it disappeared in hot Weather so that he was- tolerably com fortable ; and that he had been attended by many physicians to no effeft. Seeing no great profpeft of relieving him by medicines ; I was determined to try the Points, think ing they might at lead relieve the pains and 1 inflammatory affection of the (kin, and ac -1 cordingly used them myfelf, or had them ; ufedtwo or three hoursinceffantly, by which ' time he found himfelf so much relieved, he ! wished to continue the praftice—a lad was ordered to use them three or four times a day ; he grew better, the inflammation sub sided, and the wounds all began to digest and heal, the scabs fell off, and left,the fkm entire, though very delicate and tender. In 4 or 5 days he walked and in four weeks was perfeftly well and drong, had an in creasing appetite, and undertook business, ' which he had neglefted for many years. It ; is proper to observe thatin the course of this I praftice he took every three or four days a i solution of Salts and Manna to remove cof tivenefs, but no other kind of medicines whatever as I wasdetermined to seethe effeft of the points in so extraordinary and obdi nate a difrafe. I have used the points in many 9ther obdinate cases, and have found them to conquer the complaint'by a close perseverance in the operation, and am con vinced that the failures, which have accom panied this ufeful praftice, and which have naturally shaken the confidence of many who have given them but a partial trial, have proceeded from their negleft in this particu lar—the man is now very healthy, and no i appearance of complaint about him. I have in many indances used the points in ulcerous fore legs, and cedlematous swelling, with good success ; they evidently remove the in flammatory disposition and leave the dedroy ed parts capable of healing without the trouble of tedious dreflings—l have had one cafe of deafnefs in a gentleman about 75 years of age, very much relieved by the use of the points. WALPOLE, (N. H.) Jane 19. As a convincing proof of the aversion enter tertained by the Emperor of Raffia against fedi tioii* and jacobinical principles, a cenforlbip of literature has been established at Riga; and all ■prohibited book', are immediately c»rr.m';» d to the flame*. Notwithstanding the common pa triotic rant on the liberty of the prefa, we are positive that if all works, like the poems of Ro cbefter, the Common Sense of Tom Paine, and the cflayi of Honeflus felt the rigour ef an Em peror, and sustained the fiery trial, which the cu. rate and barber of Cervantes might impose, this world of ours would roll with much less fric tion, than at present. In France, Abbe Sieyes, the political metaphy sician, ha*been attacked, by a desperado, proba bly an cnthuGaft of liberty; and dangerously wounded. Three pistol balls fired at a retired man of letters, for writing on topics of govern ment, graduate, pretty exatflly, the state of free dom among the French usurpers. The brilliancy of Buonaparte's viilories can not enliven the heavy gloom of the Republic. The inflaved people, driven like wrecks, down the rough tide of power, and compelled to con tent themselves with the nomen dulce libertatis, while the reality is monopolized by an infer nal oligarchy,—continually cry with one ac cord, " Oh! the fierce wretchedness that glory brings us." Her present policy is but for a mo ment ; it will prove " Brief, as the lightning, in the ccllied night " Some daring soldier of her armies will grasp su preme power, and whether saluted Caesar or King, his little finger will be thicker than Lou- B's loins. It is said Buonaparte in the flufli of viflory refpe&ed the little village of Poteoli, the natal spot of Virgil. At the feet of the Muses, even the Mars of France is Hercules at the Court of Onphate.

Solomon could hardlyhave written three thousand proverbs and a madrigal to his love, with such wisdom and wit, if he had not, by the air and scenery of the morning, corrob orated his health and kindled his fancy.— Whether aftive as a king, or indolent as a lover, he perceived that early hours were auxiliary both to business and pleasure, arid therefore iudicioiifly advises to rife with the lark. It) our climate, a miclfumiTitr mornings dream not Shakespeare hintfeif should be permitted to telL Blanket* and pillows look so dull'and warm, and green grass and trees so cheerful and refrefhing, it is won derful tKe lluggard cannot even with half (hut eyes, discern fueh wide extremes, and prefer {trolling in the .ields to tumbling in bed. But in the course of my parochial visita tions, my tap at many a door is often answered by a voice exclaiming from behind a curtain ) it is the voice of the sluggard. The cock has crowed thrice, and certain robbins have sung two hymns and a ballad, before half my acquaintance have " girded their loins," buckled their shoes and combed , their hair. Yet these creatures, not contend with the naps of the night, swathe them- ' Telves like so many Egyptian mummies, in a : sheet, fdur hours after sunrise, and then have the impudence to rife and talk of business, and the beauty of the day. The princely poet, author of our excel lent text, when exhorting to summer enjoy ments, points not to the night season, nor ; to the " inner pavilion" of the palace, but ;. informs us that his " bed is.green," and his love displayed in the opert air. The gallant Solomon could invite the blushing belle of Egypt to a morning's stroll, into the vineyards, aud give her his love, amidst the dews of dawriw Well wcrt thou called wife, thou gallant prince, if it were only for thy knowledge of the female heart. Well didst thou know that the bu'ds of beau ty, like the blossoms of Shinah, Healing frefh vigour from slumber,* expand .all their sweetness to the morning ray. In our time, the torpid admirer snores, amidst the even ing fog, the praises of his, aiftrefs, while the sprightly strains of his serenade are ob tunded by the thick mills of midnight. In close parlours and the long winter's eve, we pour over rent rolls and.en gross marriage settlements. Let the city lover, in cork foaled shoes, golofhoes and' flannel, court the delicate maiden, in the close cap and comfortable bed gown. But he, that would woo thee buxom Health, must " "Brush with hasty steps the dews away," must not seek thee behind fire screens, or lolling on a fofa, but must eredt a lodge in the village ; and before the day-break, and the shadows flee away, when the rose and the mandrake give a sweet smell, listen for thy jocund song, mingling with the matin of the lark. In lieu of the ticket for the foe tid theatre, or the card of the crowded ball room, the American laffcr should bid good morning to his fair one's night-cap, and sa lute her with the early call of arise, my be loved and come away, for the flowers ap pear on the earth, and the time of the tinging of the birds is come. Yet modern enamora tos, in compliment to the indolent delicacy of the day, Jboe their bootees " with felt" and whisper " I charge you, O ye daugh ters, by the roes and the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up nor awake my love till flie please." But themornipg mrWeathr* not for lovers slone. If the philosopher will arile and me ditate at the morning tide, though he may not rival the fame,-he may attain the hale old age of Franklin. The divine, by the light of the rising fun, may catch hints from creation, which may serve to raise the affe&ions of his flock to him who divided the light from the dark ness. The merchant who opens his compting house windows to the earliest breath of morh, may perhaps find a reward in the custom of the early purchaser. The lawyer, who has groped the preced ing day in the intricacies of special pleading, when he views the peaceful face of morning, and is enlightened by the beamy fun, may perchance, from the serenity of the hour, be led to con the grateful eulogium of " blessed are the peace makers." While the blythe hufbaridman, whom Providence has orSained to mingle pleasure with profit, finds, amidst his lowing herds, bleating sheep ana slushing fields an excite ment to the talk of the coming day. THE LAY PREACHER. SPJZECH of DAVID WOOD, While 1 flanding in the pillory at Charkflown, • Newhampjhire, May Z'Jth, 1797, forforg ing a deed. SYMPATHIZING FRIENDS, You come here this day to fee a fad fight: a poor old man publicly disgraced for. at tempting to make a penny out of fifty acres of Vermont rocks ; and yet I fee some here in gay coats, mounted on naggifh hqrfes, who have made thousands out of lands, to which you had no more title, than I to Da vid Dray's rocks. But you are great rogues and wear silver spurs, and white beaver hats, and flourilh your loaded whips, forget what you once were, drink your Madeira, and talk of your millions of acres, and set at your ease ; while poor I, who have specu lated a little, in a fifty acre lot, which would not maintain a woodchuck, must stand here ; for I am a little rogue, and have no preten sions to be a great {peculator. Let me ask you, what is the difference, as to fin, between a man, who forges a deed and fells lands under it, and a man, who fells lands, to which he knows he has no ti tle ? You all know the great 'Squire he bought lands in Bolton at the time all their great men were caught in the Georgia land trap. The 'Squire came home by the way of, Hartford, at the very moment when the Hartford foxes were wailing for the loss of their tails, in the fame spring trap. The 'Squire found he had bought the Devil, and was determined to fell him again on the belt terms he tould. He put spurs to his old mare, rode before the news, and fold to the widow Lowly and her two sons, who had just come of age, about fifty thoufarid acres of land, which lay the Lord knows where, and to which'he knew he had no title, and took all their father the old deacon's farm in mortgage, and threatens to turn the poor widow upon the town, and tier two boys Upon the world ; but this is the way of the world. The 'Squire is a great speculator, he is of the quorum, can fit on the feilions, and fine poor girls for natural mis-steps! ; but I am a little rogue, wito speculated in only fifty acres of rocks, and must stand here in the pillory. Then caere is the state of Georgia. They fold millions of acres to which they had no. tnore title, than I to David Dray's land. Their great men pocketed the money ; and their honorable assembly publicly burnt all the records of their conveyance, and are now felling the lands again. £ *"• Georgia is a great honorable state. They can keep ne gro (laves, race horses, gouge out eyes, fend members to fight duels at Congress, and cry out, for France and the guillotine, and be honored in the land ; while poor I, who never murdered any one, who never fought a duel or gouged an eye ; and had too much honor to burn my forged deed, when I had once been wicked enough to make it, must stand here in the pillory, for I am a little rogue,— Take warning by my fad fate ; and if you must speculate in lands let it be in millions of acres ; and if you must be rogues, take warning by my unhappy fate and become great rogues.—For as it is said in a pair of verses I read when I was a boy, Little villains must fubmic to fate, That great one. may enjoy the world in state. And again, A little knav'ry is a dangerous thing, . Great cheats will flourifh, while the small ones swing. CO N C K- E S S. HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES, Saturday, July. (Concluded from yejicrday s Gazette ) Mr. Otis observed that the gentleman from Pennsylvania had furnifhed a conclusive argu ment in favour of the proposed tax ; fur if a cer tificate of naturalization was not required by law, the duty would be optional and confequent fair and equitable. —He agreed that the present amendment wa« merely a question of revenue, but the policy of a tax was always afair obje<st of discussion, ami it was therefore proper to eonfider the indireit and remote «ffe<£U of the present bill upon the naturalization of foreign ers. He denied the expediency of affording too gieat a facility to their adrrtiffion among us In the infancy of the country it was neceftary to encourage emip-'ation, and fore'gners of ail countries had been wifely invited and allured to fettle in our territory;—To the industry of emi grants many parts of the country were indebted for the molt valuable improvements in agricul ture and the arts —and he knew foreigners who were an hirtior to the United States, who had aided in forming their constitutions, in fighting for their libertifs, and who were not less meri torious citizens for not being born in the country. There were others in that house and other legif laturts, who were entitled to the highest confi deratien and refpefl.—He rejoiced in the ad vantages derived from persons of this defcrip tion ; they w«uld not be affe&ed by the present tax; but he was not anxious to give a greater latitude to the laws of naturalization ; on the contrary he thought it wife to rtflrain that privi lege.—He did not belier,e it to be longer neces sary to rely Upon thatfource of population ; but coniidered the native American germ tobe am ply fuffiuient for the production offuchfcions a» were worth cultivation.— —He denied that the manners of Europe were the ma' ners of this country. 111 that quarter of the world a revo lution of manners of the mod formidable nature j threatened the subversion of all moral principle, | of all fecial order, and a fyllem ot profligacy had swept off every vestige of what ever was I molt amiable and refpeilable in the eye of hu manity—He trusted the cafe was different in this country —It was true that Pennsylvania was in debted in a great measure for her prosperity to the irduftrious eftablifhrtienu formed by for eigners of various descriptions, but it should al so be remembered that the fouleft stain in the annals of that state was not to be impifted to natural born Cit ecus. This amendment he said weul4 not affeiSt those men who had already acquired lands in this country, nor the deserving part of those who might seek an asylum in it. Persons of that description would easily pay the tax —But it would tend to foreciol'e the inafs of vicious and disorganizing characters, who could not live peaceably at home; and who after unfurling the standard of rebellion in their own countries might come hither to revolutionize ours. He felt every difpolitjon to refpeit those hon est and industrious people whether Germans, Irishmen or foreigners of whatever country who had become citizens; and to fraterij'ze with them while they remained obedient to the laws, and faithful to their adopted country j but he did not wish to invi'e hordes of wild Irifhmeß, nor the turbulent and disorderly of all parts of the world, to come here with a view to diflurb our tranqudity, after having fucqeeded in the overthrew of their own governments. 1. Mr. Potter was willing to agree to make the sum ten dollars, in order to shorten the business, though he did not think 50 too much. Mr. Coit thought it unfortunate that they should, in this instance, have wandered from the object of the bill. He trusted when the friends' of the bill, who were also friends of this measure, saw the difficulty which would attend the incorporating of t he fubjeft with it, they would give it np. Mr. Baldwin was in favor of the smaller sum. He said this was a fubjeft upon which it was always found difficult to legislate, as different parts of the country had very dif ferent ideas upon it. In the part of the country from whence he came the people would not approve of such a tai, he belie ved there were parts of the country which would not bbjedl to a tax of 1000 dollars upon the objedt ; but it was not so in other parts. All the prosperity in some states depended upon emigration and to lay a hea vy tax of this kind would be to do violence to their feelings. When, he heard differ ent gentlemen express their opinions he knew they were the opinions of the people, from whence they came : if they were as well acquainted with the whole of the coun try, as with 50 miles round their own homes, their sentiments would be different. Mr. Sttgreaves thought this tax as jultifiable and as much connected with the present Ibill as the taz upon lawyers, and that 20 dollars would be a reasonable sum. Ttie question for inferring ten dollars was put and negatived and then 5 was moved and carried, there being 56 in favor of it. The question whs then upon agreeing to the proportion as amended- Mr. Swan wick spoke at length on this fubjeft, and dwelt particularly on the hard ftiip which the poorer part of emigrants would experience iu paying this tax and if th?y did r.ot'pay it, they would be living in the country jis foreigners,and notas citizens of a free country. Mr. Venable did not cbfifrder this as a I tax which would laU equally on all foreign- ' ers who became citizens, but partially upon those who might have occasion for certifi cates, and even duplicates.of them. The question on this proportion was ta ken by yeas and nays follow . YEAS. MefTrs. Allen, Baer, Bayard, Bradbury, Brookes, Bryan, Champlin, Clay, Coch ran, Craik, Dana, Davis, Dennis, A. Foster, D.
