which lie had produced, and fa-id such things could never be atteWp;:d by the body. It was true, they d;d not come in a body into his lodging .to seduce his servant, but indi viduals did it. But he alktd, do these men come here in a body ? Because they believe that their presence will give more weight to their petition ; so that they ap peared in bodies, or as individuals, to ati fwer their purposes. Gentlemen had charg ed the oppofers of the petition with heat ; he thought there was as much heat on one fide as the other. Mr. Edmund d d not 'believe there wa3 any real ground ofirritation in this queflion; as no gentleman could suppose, they were about to do any thing which was either un cqn?National, or which would affedt their property. Whether the persons who pre sented the memorial are virtuous or vicious, was of no consequence, since judice was due to both clalTet of men. They had brought a petition before them, and they ought to eonfiderit. It was addressed to their hon eflry or justice ; if the fafts were claims up on their honesty or justice, they should be attended to ; and not only attended to, but if possible, relief granted.—lt was dated, that there were a number of persons held in bondage who were justly entitled to liberty. This faft called for examinatiou ; and a queflion arose, if it were eflablifhed, wheth er that house could afford redress. A gen tleman from N. Carolina (Mr. Blount) had stated that the faft was not true ; it was certainly therefore worth while to beetiquir ed into. Another gentleman had said, if the faft were as stated, they had no power to aft ; and a third was of opinion that, by the constitution, redress might be afforded. This diversity of opinion (hewed the neces sity of an invedigation of the fubjeft, in or der to determine the jurifdiftion of the house. Ht wilhed it for another reason. It had been dated, that if this petition were /attended to, it would open adoor to faftion and' mifchief. Can'it have this effeft ? These peop'e bring forward a petition dating a number of fafts ; they certainly do not come forward for the mere design of ex citing disorder in any quarter. If the house fay they will throw their petition under the table, would rot such treatment give the faftious some ground of clam pur by which to sow difTentioi ? But if, on the contrary, they coolly looked into the petition, and reported thereon, ( would it not stop the mouths of these people ? It certainly would ; fincc they ( ■could not then fay common judice 1 was j refufed to the petitioners. Again, hav ing once investigated the fubjeft fully, ( if petitions of a similar kind {hould here- , after come forward, it could be reafona- . bly said, " this matter has already been , taken up and fully decided upon, and, | therefore, we will not again go into it." , Until this was done, tl|e faftious would have cause of complaint. Mr. Blount said, several gentlemen who ( had spoken on this fubjeft seemed to express ( themselves as if they believed there was no punishment for persons reducing to Slavery ( persons who hod been manumitted. He j read an extraft from a law passed in 1779, ( in N. Carolina, by which the punifliment of • death is awarded againd fueh an offence. Mr. Macon read the proceedings of the House on the petition refpefting the kid- , napping of Negroes, in order to (hew that ( the Gentlemen from New-York (Mr. Liv- ■ ingdon) had mis-stated issue of that business the lad report on the fubjeft was, that it | f would be bed to leave the regulation of jht business to the Legislatures of the several , dates. Mr. M. allowed that his refleftion , upon the whole body of Quakers was too ', general, and he had no hesitation in retrain ing it—but he believed a number of them jvere guilty of the charges btonght againd them by the gentlemen from S. Carolina. f Mr. TuaTcbir said, if, when the motion *ai firfl made he had tern sgninftit, from what had 11 fallen from gmtlemen on the fubjrft, lie (hould 0 now vote In favor of it-'for, notwithstanding ii they oppof#d the focond r ailing of the peti-ion, c they were filing off in fqoad* to read it, and ready 1 to fijlt for a Ct;ht ol it. He believed, therefore, , they had some relfons for opposing the fceord r;ading, which did not appear. He referred to wait had been said hy the gtntleman from N. Ca rolina, as to th<: UA stated in the petition, and fai J that notwithstanding the laws which he had read, the fait might be true—but that this very doubt about the fact was an additional reason for going into the enquiry. Gentlemen had said, however good and virtuous the petitioners might b», it ought to have no effect upon the petition—if this were true, he hoped when they wore reprcfentcd as the intrjl of men, that representation was not ■ meant to influence their decision on the queflion. n Mr. T. could not conceive for what purpose thay J were carried to Europe, to wittiefsthefceneswhich j had taken plac't there for the Mt ten years. Wai this, heafked, the stats offociety here ? If hetho't j' 0 'if i t had the fainted resemblance of what was ai taking placa there, he would fly from it to the ut- t( termoft parts of the earth, and there make his ha- c bitation. Mr. T. wilhilhed an enquiry to take pl ic< . there was a part of the United States in which (livery was tolerated —some of the from those parts thought it not right—there was bt «'her parts g£ the Union who disclaimed it. These tk two ompofing principles were like two oppofitc. ft powers in Mechanifin, which produced reft—but . the more frequently thd fubjea wi, looked into, . the more mitigated would be its effefls, tn Mr. Bayakd went into a judication of what Jt, 'he had before, advanced with refped to its being t j within the ji.rifdiition of the house to afford a n rcmrdv with refoeA to the expoft fadto law com ulaified of, 'and 'infifled that, without fom« such intsrferenct, perfens might be in a situation in "> which they could grtno redress. Mr. B. cnnclud- a ed by faying. thut flints-men knew little qthxunan t[ nature who thought to f.lcnce thrfe pejitipnp by m contemptoous tteitmAt, and f lulded to -he in- Attapcc which hod been ftewn thent »tth ou totak'r<A>f oaths. , Mr "suit* wa(h«d fof>n explanation pn the fubiea of law ' th ° u « h th * con " cj ftitotion of the United States could lu v ve no pow- f cr over lawipaffed befote it existed.

( h 1- To the Printers 'of the Connecticut Courant, J GENTLEMEN, )t „ ' on £ cr ago than when the United States were iti a prosperous fituitiorl rela i tive to foreign connexions, it was predicted ,s ky the friends to government,' that the pre nf v al«nce of French liberty and equality'-prin- Cip! ? in this country, would prove its ruin. , (This liberty and is better known is here, by either of the terms, " jacobinism," J "democracy," cr "anarchy.") At thr.t pe*io& < Jl people, but such as were :• were di'fpofed to a tW-a'MlwJe'pi-ediaions is chimerical —'or, at :- the wfei't, if they were ever to be verified, t it would nut be in their day—but at fume _ very remote period. The found of liberty i " rneci 't a for'c : e, th'n,; of the Bafi lilkj capable duJaifg to admira tion, and the ear of rational moderation, to f the extreme of eiithufiafm These r people having enjoyed so great prosperity under that liberty which the federal canjlihi f tioA guarantees to them, and not having at tended to the wide difference which exiils between the vaunted French liberty, and the liberty of the United States, they have gieedily swallowed thf- found for the reali . ty, and, perhaps, have entertained a jealou sy of all those whose view? of tha i'ubjedt : were not correspondent with their o\+n. Hence they have listened, with perfect cre dulity, to the vociferous declamations of am -5 bitious^deroagogues—have given full faith to alltieir'pffertiont— have been thus induc ed to believe that 'they were the only true pa triots—thal.the federal part of the inhabit antjofthe United States were British a- —friends to monarchy— enenTies of the " people"—and combining in characters ( very thing which is o dious in society, and hoflile to a republican government : while they themselves were im maculate, 8c but one degree fliort of angelic perfection. Tin's facility of being imposed upon by such dtiigning men, has its origin among tliat class of people of which I am fpcaking, in their virtuous attachment to real liberty—in their want of repaion until others it—in their jraloufy for their own rights, which is always ready to fol low any direftion that is given it—and in an honest zeal for others, that they may enjoy the fame ble flings which are enjoyed by themfel/es. For a time this defenption ©f people will be born away with the ardency of their feelings. But when their zeal has had time to cool—-and reflection begins to rcfume its power, they will discover their error, and gradually fettle down into the right way ; regretting their precipitate fol ly, and rejoicing at their escape—is they are fortunate enough to escape. They will then doubly execrate the persons who have given them the alaim, and their confidence be comes more firmly riveted in those who were once the odj'pus obje£t« of their diftraft They adt just like the people of an honest neighbourhood, who, when they hear a falfe alarm of fire, hastily seek for the build ing which it endangered, that they may aid their brethren in diltrtfs ; but when they find that no fire has been kindled, and that the alarm was a falfe one,.their anxiety to relieve their diftrtflad neighbour, becomes inflantly converted into a spirit bf vengeance toward the person who bad thus imposed upon their quietude. The United States contain many people of t|his d.cfcription, and, unfortunately, they n!fo contain many designing men, who have been long imposing upon them. Thoy have cried fire—and the people have run—but, thank God, they have at length, found that no fiie was kindled, except that which was kindled by those who gave the, alarm. And since it has become apparent, that these meu, who called themselves the " men of the people" republicans—democrats—patri ots—the friends of liberty and France— who, on the contrary have been using eve ry artifice which interest could prompt to, and ingenuity suggest, to enlist the people's zeal 011 their fide—to make them jealous and diftruftful of their choftn rulers—and, in fair wards, so to blind them, tha L they themselves may ride them up to the fu.nmit of what their real objedt is—that it is not, in truth, any regard for the intereftsof their fellow-citizens which) has actuated them— that it is not any real loije ft>r liberty, any , further than these objedts may become in strumental in effecting their own political 1 purposes ; the people, who once placed con- , fidence in them, arc beginning to forfake them—they are dropping from them one after another, until, eventually jhey. will be 1 left deflitute of any support, but that which 1 arises from an agreement among themselves, , " mutually to support each other." In Connecticut this is already true to a ' great degree. The support lately given to < democracy, by the freemen, was coinpara- < tively small ; and, if they continue to exer- 1 cife that wisdom in future, which they late- • ly evinced, it will shortly bedome extinCt. < The fame is heginningto bethecafe through- 1 out New-England. Democratic Governors, ' dying - , resigning, or Hegledtld by the free- > men, are replaced by federal men ; jacobin t fenatqrs, are omitted for men of opposite principle?-—and, at the last eleCtion of re presentatives in Congress, we saw many new members returned, which threw a majority iHto the Governmental stale. Although the counity lifts fuffei"«d much iu cgnfequencc of the artifice mid intrigues of the ielf-prociaiißed " patriot? ;" and although the predi&iqns.Qf ruin whiph were .! noticed in the beginning of thii paper were near to being verified ; yet the people have j got'ten their eyes opened to the danger, and they wiljytt.fave their government and coun trJ' -noO fp isyfot£ s Many. jjfltliculsts stave confpircd to en lighten the people. They have seen the in confiftefncy of the profeffions and characters I of the Freneh in the United States. They have seen how frde and per fidious ehe French hav.e bten to our govern* t ment—how falfe r and perfidious they have been other governments—that while they have for liberty, they have in truth been fighting for conqucft and i f'under. They have seen the'djipiiciiy of j Thomas Jefferlon, who is at the head of de a moeracy in the United States'; a'H'd they - have obfervjd, how p'crfeCtly the coridudt of 1 the otlrer French partisans has tallied, vyi't'i - h's. They have seen many of the fame class - of men enliiled on Jioard of French priva teer;, to capture and , condemn American 1 vefiVls and property. The people of tKc United States have had time to fee the con. t duS of S^nliioriaX—of the Spanish minis. i 'f —of Vidor Ilucruee and of those per ) £\>ii3 in this country, who have been loud t in their praise. Judging, for them floes, of , the merits of fnch people, and finding them ; far removed from honor or integrity, they 1 naturally co u'luded that those who approve of their cpr.duCt, whether in this country or in anojher, mud be of a similar character, alike dtftitute of honour or integrity. The convention between General To'ufTaint, and Santhonax, and the Secretary's refuta tion of the Spanish miaifter's charges against : our government, will not soon be forgot- I ten. They are referred to the true source French perfidy—and this, in the (tile of dur " patriots," is " difinierefted friendfhip That friendfhip which should render the two republics inseparable. But the picture of France is too horrid to ever, permanently charm the feelings of any but true democrts or jacobins; and wherever there is a tho rough bred jacobin, there, (mark it my fel low-citizens) there is at heart, a genuine tyrant. And, generally, this is compara tively but a small blemish in his character. The word democrat, in modern phrase, de notes every thing that is inimical to the go vernments both of God and men. I submit jhe quellion to your reader, if this aflertion does not accord with their own knowledge. And fiich, gentlemen, are the men, of all | the men in the world, who have been deem ed, by many in this country, worthy to be entrufled with our dearest rights; worthy of our unlimited confidence! The only answer which I know is, because they themselves fay so. Such men have long strove, and striven hard, to throw this country into such a fitn ation svith respeCt to France* at that they might themselves engage in the hufinefs of privateering ; either upon the property of our enemies, provided they could get ut conneCtcd in the war with France—or upon our own property, if the French were dis posed to treat us in an unfriendly manner. In either cafe, the wishes of the " patriots" are gratified ; but, unfortunately for my fellow-citizens, the latter is the cafe ; and it has been induced, principally, by the in fluence and falfehoodof our " patriots'." In stead of patriots we now behold them pica roons. Instead of honest Americans, they have become pirates upon American prop erty. Since the mask is rent asunder, in stead of that sincere wish to uphold our. own government, which they have incessantly proclaimed, we fee them treacherously prac tising, by every wicked artifice, to destroy it—to render it subordinate to the promo tion of felf-interell, and deeming the immo- 1 lalion of their own nation's liberty, profer ity, and peace, but a small facrifice, when- \ held in competition with personal emolu- < ment. ' Such, gentlemen, is the real character of - " democrats"—a cbara&cr which cannot be too much detested—a charaCter which the freedom of the United States will shun as they wnuld shun pestilential contagion, - if they intend to preserve the blelfings which f they now enjoy. ' Perhaps a more favorable time thai! the ' present, e.innot be improved to imprefsthis fentimcnt strongly upon the minds of the < freemen of Connecticut. fn a short time < they are to vote for fix new candidates for 1 congress nomination. Perhaps, as the last ' euort of jacobinism in this state, the French partisans here, will, like antichrist just he- fore his destruCtion, make a desperate ftrug- t gie to support their finking interest. What direCtien that effort will take, it may be dif ficult to conjeCtore. Perhaps it will con _ fift in supporting characters for the nomina tion, which will never become popular, or such as could not go to congress if they were chosen ; and thus leave the way more f clear for the speedy promotion of any fufpi- a cious ptrfon who may at present be a-candi- - date. But the freemen of ConneCti'sut, I think, have gotten their eyes so well open ed with regard to persons of doubtful poli- 1 tics, that they will be very cautious how they fall in with such a plan. They will bring forward other men whose known in- c tcgrity is worthy of trust, and whose unva- it rying attachment to the federal government 1 isevineed by their aSions, and not solely by p their o<wu declarations, furnifhes indifputablc ic evidenee, that they will not desert the flan- v dard of their country, nor facrifice the in- y| terefts of their own nation, to foreigners. Such and such only, ought to be our candi- ri dates, and fueh, I trust in God, they will be, ° ! if the free eleCtors of Connecticut consult their own interest. Such men exist among us, and the sagacity of the freemen will find them out. GUSTAVUS. , New-London County, Nor. GAZETTE MARINE LIST. 4 PORT OF PHILADELPHIA. CLEARED.
