PHIL AD E L PHIA ,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ij.
The impedem, leditious and inflammat 0 "
ry memorial, whjch we had occasion yesterday
to notice, purports to be the address of " a
number of the natives of Ireland residing in
places convenient for mutual communication"
—their ostensible objeit, to obtain " a re
peal of " the law concerning Aliensthe re
al design, without doubt, to obtain the
most exteniive enrolment poflible of existing
United Irilhmen, and by the plausible falf
hoods it so artfully dilplays, to make new
converts.
" The law concerning Aliens," it is set
forth in the remonstrance, " affects with
great anxiety" the fubferibers to the petition.
From this, and more expressly from what
Immediately follows may be gathered the di
rect acknowledgment, that thel'e petitioners
are aliens, foreigners, Irilhmen. Thus ac
knowledging them [elves to be Iri(hmen, they
with unprecedented indecency proceed to ex
ercise the firft and den reft rights of citizens,
byaffuniing'tothemfelvesto pass cenfureson
our government, our laws, our principles,
and our general conduit. In this manner,
are we audaciously bullied out of our reason,
and thus (hall we be bulbed out of our pro
perty, and our lives, if restraints more se
vere than alien and sedition laws be not fpeed
i'ly imposed.
Although the petition is pretended to be
from Irishmen, it is remarkable enough that
the principal aikors in difleminating it, turn
out to be citizen* of America, viz. Blair
M'Clenachan, Reynolds, Duane, &c. Thus
does the revolutionary talisman endow patri
ots with the faculty of reconciling two gross
inconfiftences—thus does it enable them con
tinually to after new rights and privi- -
leges, without afTuming any of the duties :
and obligations of theirnew chara&er, with
out renouncing any of the immunities of '
the old. Thus do a body of foreigners ere£l
themselves into a peculiarly privileged order;
and thus are they permitted to cast over the '
original American character, a shade of ob- 1
loquy and contempt. t
If the authors of this petition are Irifli- '
wen they have no voice here. If it is the 1
voice of the country that they be imprisoned
or banished, there is no appeal, unless, in
deed, they mean seriously to resort to arms,
a design, which their conduit evinces to be
not very remote from their imaginations,
—not indeed against imprisonment or exile,
but against measures of internal policy do- u
me (tic regulations, of the propriety or ne
cefllty of which we are the sole judges. <j
If they are Americans, what have they
to do with the grievances, real or pretended,
of Ireland \
But the truth is, that though the casual- °
ty of birth, in the one cafe, or the obferv.
ance of certain forms in another, may war- a ,
rant men to aflume the character of an I
rishman or an American citizen,—such men _
as those engaged in this difgraceful business, a .
httvo ao y>a Wlicttr '
i£ the American, that would own Duane or
Reynolds or any other United Irithman, J'
for a fellow-citizen ? If there is one, he is a
fit tenant only for Hell or for France. "
Where lives there an honest, a real Irilh- "
- man, that wouldadmit either of them to be °
his fellow-countryman ? Ask the members of *
St. Mary's Church—the gentlemen who ap- u,
prehended Reynolds—aik any man of fair w
character, in the city, or the United States,
—you will be answered as he was, that he t r
is no Irishman, but a traitor.
The nextclaufe in the memorial that me
rits any notice, is a pretty dij-eit allulion to ?u
the probably meditated aflaffination of the f 0
President. They remind us in language by
no means unintelligible to us, (though by
obfeuring it, they seem to have strove to t i,'
make it (o) that Jefferfon is their friend and
patron—that it is only neceflary, in order
to make his friend/hip and his patronage ef- a i
feaive, to remove Mr. Adams ; « his mor- *
tality," they observe, « would 'occasion a i"
new standard of conduct." Beftirew my f ou l,
but I believe the withered paw that indited ''
this line, clutched in bloody imagination, a l,i
dagger prepared to do the deed. These are wh
no times for men to wear their hearts upon r n ,
their sleeves. F ior
These audacious petitioners and remon
flrators go on to describe to us the Irifli P
charaiter ; and to dilate on its confluence g
to America. 1 hey represent the Irish na
tion, and particularly the Catholics, as op- gK
prefled, discontented, and impatient for a
revolution,- under the auspices of France 316
with many oth-rfimilar assertions which cv'
<ry day's experience gives the lie to. " Ie
As to the Irish character, it is better ,
known in America than these outlaws imair
ine. We did not take it from their fampk ° nS
or it would have been seditious, treacherous C ° r
and sanguinary ; we did not take it from n° r
their report, or it would have been woife.
There is bne trait in the Irish character r
(generally received in this country so far as -
our observation extends)'which, with every '
people that aspires to be great, ought pecu- J. 1 ) 5
liaily to endear it a strong, and where
once polleHcd,an inextinguishable nationality. t ?
Had we copied from Ireland this firft of all j j
requisites, we Ihould not at this day be bull- i f
ragged by an ignominious band of outcasts j-n,
and outlaws—our citizens would not be •' n
j•op ad i zed for aflerting the character of | v "jj
ot their Country, nor their fanituaries pro» -p!
faned by (edition and riot. The outlaws _
know this charaiteriftic of the Irifli nation
—lt has been branded oil their hearts, —and j o „ ca
the iron of experience yet hUTes in their j g '
imaginations. They know it well, for it ( _ r„j
drove them hither; and it is because they
know it, and its power, that they cor.ftantly *'
labor to array the formidable and honorable > ,
propensity, a°ainft thole who hold them up
•n their getiui-ne, bloody and detestable co
lors to the world. « The Irifli blood runs ~ 1
not so pure here as in Ireland," fays one of
\
oi .. :e ahi;fe 0 f t-ic Irish nation, <
would not have been patted over." The A- I
'y erican Gazettes, fays the petition, incef- '
lantly propagate n:iiVcpvefentations concern- !
« ing the Irifli it fidents in the United States,
and the Irish in general. One fellow has
u. gone so far as to accuse a printer of calling
" the nation" Irish out-cafts,—lrifl, Vaga
n yTT. va &r»nts,—lrifli cut-throats, 1
mat 0 " 'lrifh blood-hour.ds,—wild Irish. To pass 1
terda? °ver the pretty cjiujax i* the composition, <
,f «a the absurdity of calling " the Irifli nation," 1
ng i n In in out-cafts, could only enter into the 11
ition" brain of an Ass. No, no; not one of these i
a re- expreflions was ever applied to the Irish na- c
he re- tlon b y any printer in America ; these things i
i the are-trumped up merely to kindle the glowing p
lifting hea t of weak minds into ads of afTaflinaticn t
: sals- — tlle "illigator may betake himl'elf to Dela- t
enew ware county, or any where else, till he sup t
poses the deed is done, and then deny the a
[ s s et tatt by justifying it. ' -j
with Jhe remonstrance closes in a strain of pee
