not to "havejogj; fid them on ; and if this
had been merely a declaratory opinion, xin
con-nected with anv law, he would have fuf
fercu it to havr pal Ted over without remark ;
but when he law it was to be the foundation
of a penal law, whatever advantage gentle
men mav take of the opposition, to alarm
the oublic mind, he considered it a duty,
which he could not abandon, tooppofe- it in
every fh.ipe. If the resolution, was, howe
ver,, adopted, and when the bill is reported,
• it shall bt freed from the objaftions which
he has brought again ft the resolution, he
(houfd then withdraw his opposition.
Mr. J. Williams said, that notwithftand
• ing the declaration of the gentleman just fat
down, he dkt not think his opposition to this
resolution would warrant a belief of it, be
cause his arguments went to juftify, not ouly
the late tranfaftion, but to lay it down as a
maxim, that any person wlmever may do the
fame thing. He thought gentlemen would
have done well to have taken the advice of
the gentleman from Georgia, and reserved
their objeftions until the bill was reported ;
but they have chosen a contrary course, and
determined to oppose the principle in all its
Itages. During the last felfion, the house '
was employed for four weeks in dil'cuding' the
propriety of fending"certain' ministers abroad.'
Gentlemen were for hiving - few or none, but i
now they are i i favor of any individn il who
ehufes becoming a negociator. If, said Mr.
W. we mean topr<dlrveourconftitution and
government, an innovation of this kind ou
to be ftriftly guarded against. It is deroga
tory to a republican government, continued
he, to fee it announced in a'foreiyn piper,
that an envoy is arrived from the Unit d
■States, but afterwards connraiifted, and said
t'o 1)? a person come to treat, but unauthoriz
ed by the government*. It would appear that
-the government of any country which would
treat with such a person, must despise the
principles of republicanism ; . bec.aufe every
thing done contrary to the will of a majority,
is contrary to republican principles. Our
Jtovernment sent commissioners to France to
treat, but the French Directory refufed to
treat with them. Certain gentleman then
fay they will fend a man thcmfelves—for no 1
one can believe that the person w«nt of his "
own accord. He believed no gentleman I <
could fay so. And if he did not ge by his
own authority, by what authority did he go
It must have been an authority direftly op- ,
posed to the will of the majority. Mr. W.
fuppofrd the opposition which the gentleman
from Peanlylvania has given to this resolu
tion, had carried him farther than he inten- ,
: <3ecJ. He had said that the resolution carri- ,
ed a declaration of war on the face of it. 1
Was not this fending out unnectffary alarm .
to the people ? Certainly it was. And what j
was it followed with ? That a ftandisg ar- ;
my was found to be necefiary to destroy the i
remaining liberties of (he people. What, |
said Mr. W. save rife to this Handing army ,
What but the opposition of these very gen- ;
tleman. Had they not inflamed the minds
of the people, procured public meetings, and
at length produced an infurreftion in the r
country > By this conduft, they have put
the country to vast unr.eceflary expenVe ; f
even the prcfent debate, which they had f
been the cause of, would, cost ihe public a <
large sum j Had it not been for the opposi
tion of these gentlemen, large expenditures -,
would have been to the nation- When
any.thing like a meafu-e of defence is pi*o- J
posed, they are sure lo arrest its progress, j
fey occasioning a long debate. And yet the
excessive expenditure of government is al
ways attributed to its friends and supporters j
whereas t'»e very reverse is the faft. Even
in the most trifling bufmefs, day after day
is taking up in debate. Why not fuffer C
the present res lotion to go to a committee,
and when their report is made, the fubjeft c
could be difcufled in committee ( f the whole
He hoped every gentleman who wished to
fupp rt the conflitution and g* vernment,
would nQt oppole a measure i itended to sup

difficulty in dilcriminating be.'wixt criminal
correfpondercesand those whichare innocent. { ]
Gentlemen fnppofe it would be a happy
thing if an individual could procure a peace
for the country, which it was not in the 1
power of the government to obtain. But,
said he, fuppo'e two countries are at war, 3
and a party, or an individual, were to go to S
one of the hnrtile nations from the other,
ard advise them to continue the war for a
certain time longer (when they would other- "
wife be difpofeJ to make peace) by an as "
furance that if they did so, their enemy, y '
would surrender at discretion. Yet this,
it might be said, was undertaking from the
best motives. If an unauthorized person
were to come to this country from France, tC
fc' would be rejefted at once ; and France,' ™
had pr ved herfelf to be no republic, by ac- W
ting differently paying so little refpeft to
republican principles.

PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVEKING, JANUAST 9.
Logan:
mr. fenno,
I believe it is chiefly owing to perseverance 1
in a species of novel and eccentric impu- 1
dencc,that characters of perfedt infignificance I
and extreme imbecility, are sometimes able (
to scramble out of obicurity and aukwardly 1
jostle themselves into public notice. A re- )
markable confirmation of this opinion we 1
have now before us, in a man called George
Logan. This creature, by a strange diilor
tion of imagination, has fancied himfelf pos
sessed of more general knowledge, more po
litical sagacity, more perfuaiive eloquence and 1
more powerful influence than the whole ex
ecutive department of a nation ; and not 2
doubting to succeed in what the bigheft cc.n- 1
(lituted authorities of his country, oy the I
wilell plans, and j lifted measures, have fail- (
ed to effeCf, away he fails, a felf-appointed, t
felt-accredited, and felf-fufficient ambafTador 1
of peace, to the Regicide Directory : and on j
his return, finding his condurt ridiculed by 1
some for i*-s excessive folly, and c^nCured by 1
others, for having exhibited as much jacobin s
knavery as his underflanding would permit, 1
he has at last thought proper todefcend a lit
tle from that sublimely predominating fta
tiori where vanity had enthroned him, to take
some notice of thole public characters " high
in office" who he fays '• have become the
agent.' of private slander." The fubfiance
of his defence is this. How that he -left his t
country, how he arrived in France, how- he (
saw general La Fayette, h<vw.he came to Pa- ,
ris, how he was introduced to and visited in ;
the most friendly manner Citizen . Merlin, \
hew he gave his opinion to the prince of Pi- t
rates, and aifo. to many others of the fra
ternizing nation, and concludes by aflertinj (
a long firing of negatives, against which no ,
one must dare to insinuate any thing, be- 1
cause he has averred them not to be true.
He kindly informs us, that, "to defend and ,
support the rights of ouf country as an inde
pendent commonwealth, is certainly the firft 1
duty of every goodcitizen" and " that he was J
unacquinted with Sny lavs, moral or political, ;
by which he was prohibited from benefiting ;
his countiy." 1 here needs no ghost come ,
from the grave to tell us this ; but did this
great Doftor recollea that there is a certain ,
orderly sphere of action wherein alone it is
possible for an individual to benefit the pub- i
lie, and that when he rambles out of his pro- 1
per place in society he h unable to be of fer- ■
vice, but may (if his abilities will permit)
do much harm ; and does he know that in
all countries where the dignity of the exec
utive ss fufficiently supported, such an offi
cious meddler could not escape the puniffi- \
ment due to his impertinence and temerity. ]
Thole who were authorized and best able to 1
defend and support the rights of the count
try aghift " robbers by inclination, interest, a
habit, and lyitem" had in vain exerted eve- r
ry prudent and honorable means ; and when c
at last the nation's patience was quite exhaust- \
ed, when its fafety required a separation from z
| such a contagious pcftilence, when its com- a
merce loudly called for retribution, and its c
insulted dignity atonement, then goes this
supporter of independence, fueing for peace,
to those of whom his country had demand
ed fatisfadlion, of whom they were prepar- w
ing to avenge themselves, and whoL arro- f
gance and enormous villainies they were de- r
termined to punilji. He next tdMs us " that
he spoke of his country tp the citizens of '
France as he felt, but at all times with re- Z
ipe£t and "he denied tbat there was anv ..J
party here ready to facrifice the government
»f their country." But some have been har
dy enough to suppose, that to fay one thing,
and a£f m direst contradi&ion, isnotexaff-
iv opposite to the principles of a jacobin :
accordingly this man, who thought (lightly "
of the wisdom and reditude of the legitimate '.
authority of his country, who belonged to a
paity that was perpetually oppoling every
use inl measure, and contnv:ng by every arti
fice in their power to " stop de veels of gov- I
eminent,' and who went over to our enemies
in defiance of, and as it were flying in the
very face of government, to contradict all
that bad been said, and thwart all that had
been done by its agents : this man, with
true jacobin consistency " could always feel '
tor .ind speak refpeeffuily of his country." n
He aifo took care to inform the ministers
of disorganization, "That the people confti- 0
tuting the sovereign authority, and enjoy- l!
ing all the advantages of a representative a
government, had it always in theic power to
alter the constitution and laws of t-ieir coun
try." He could aifo inform them it was not
only his opinion, but aifo that of many more
friends to the glorious' revolution and revoki
tionary principles, that if thev Continued the i.
embargo on our (hipping, imprisoned our h
fearnen, and plundered our property, it was t
not certain whether the sovereignpecple could c
be prevailed upon to alter the coriftitutipn v
ana laws of their country so soon, or so ef- 1
feftuaily, as our good ally might wish : that t
inch conduit might endanger the general
caule ot -fraternization, might have the mis- I
c..i?vous tendency to open people's eyes to a f
lenle of their own interest, to discover the r
lurking motives of smilirg-faced cut-throats, 0
to riefpifc their inf.dious policy, crulh their r
pirty here, nip the opening bud of anarchv t
and prevent kf f: nit from ever reaching that
maturity which France alone has brought to
ohnvt-Hed perfection.
, He could pay private friendly viCts, and
receive friendly attentions from the head of
that '• bloody, tyrannical, proscribing, fero
cious gang of ruffians" who were (to ale the
language of one of the most brilliant and
ufeful members of whom death could deprive
Ibciety) " wretches, who had loft all preten
tions to the name of man ; who, like Herod
and Nero, looked on humanity to be weak
ness, virtue a prejudice; whose hearts could j
be only warmed with the facriligeous flames
that devoured priests and altars ; who natu
ralized murder, croaked and thirsted for blood
and power, attempted to invert the decrees of
nature, and called on confusion r.s the order
of the day." The Prelident of tl efe tioft* I
fters, whom every good mr.iv in this and every
other country cannot think of without ab
horrence and detefbtion, be coukTbe on the
most friendly terms with, and all for the pur
pose of benefitting bis country. What is
more strange, on his return to this city, ufter
going with an ur.blulliingfrOnt to the Secre
tary of S.tate, and insulting the firft magis
trate of the country, by daring to appear in
hisprefence, this wretch could find partisans
enough to get him elefti d a r(.prefentat;ve in
the State Legislature for the county of Phi
ladelphia ! yes, the pcople'Of Southwark, and
principally ot the Northern Liberties, have
by some extravagant perverlion of cemmon
sense, fotee wonderful anomaly in lolly re
jected the lofty trees of the surest, " and
said unto the Bramble, thou, (halt reign over
us."
It the general tenor of a man's condudlis
any better proof of his principles and con
nections than his bare ipie dixit ; then sure
ly, we are fully warranted to believe and af
iert that, " he did go to France at the direc
tion and advice of some perl'ons here ; that '
he did go and aft as the official agent ot a
party ; that he did aflociate with perl'ons of I
whom he ought to have been ashamed, that
his conduit .hasbeen dishonorable tohimfelf,"
afid as far as lay in his potVer ", injurious to
his country."
