In tu'jurs neither too feint, pur yel too g/ar . ing i but that eiieb may 'know, vis neigb r Sour or himself—that tbcv maybe hcldyp_ to mankind as political Buoys, la shew where lit the, Quicksands of Sedit ion : WITH this view I beg leave to submit to you, Mr. Fcnno, foine further oijferva tions, relative to the pfsceeding.. .of our ivoulj-be government reformers, in t!i. coun ty of Montgomery. At a n'eetin Jof their committee, hclt! on the nth ultii'Ki, it ap pears that one part of the bull oris brought before thern, was, to prepare a remtmftrance igainft the Alien and Sedition bills, as elle where hinted at, and to appoint their agents to go forth and, endeavour to obtain dena tures thereto. After nine It deliberation, al tercation and foine rejtotions, a form was adopted, which we will take notice cf ano ther time* to appointing their eniifianes, they were steady to their firft purpose—by choosing such persons as will make it their sole employ to dupe the ignorant and unwa ry, as to the real object of the two bills in question. Here again we find Capt. John advanced to the rank of chief agent, or re monstrance bearer, as a reward for his former services and indefatigability. I must crave your indulgence, Mr. Editor, that I may make you better acquainted with this for ward character. As a juftification of his criminal conduit, he denies that he was a United Irishman, and fays that the term was but barely in exigence when he abandoned Ireland ; butconfefles that be commanded a company of Irifli volunteers. I leave it to thole who are better acquainted with the meaning of these terms, to fay wherein con lifts the true difference, when the captain was compelled toexpatriate himfelf for good behaviour, and now warmly attaches himfelf to their infamous horde. He further j uni fies his ofHcioul'nefs, by faying, that altlio' he has not sworn allegiance to our conllitu tioa and laws, yet he is "rn pofl'ellion of a •written citizenship. If this is true, it serves more than volumes of conjecture on the sul fect, to shew us what knaves there must he. somewhere in commission, who would neglect so important a pat nf Ameruan initiation. It unveils a possible scene of villainy, of 'se cret treachery, the tattih of which is nnf-ta , I be calculated / If he i\ adtually possessed -of . • so valuable a paper, no doubt it is for the purpose of decoying uninformed citizens in to mcafures extremely prejudicial to govern - | ment and their own inttrrll. I cannot pass ' over this (iircumlUnce,'-ithout suggesting to thole whom it may conterft, the propriety •of nor only faithfully fulfilling this impor tant trust ; but of guarding against anather fpeciei of traud which I well know is com mon among foreigners engaged in mercan tile employ-—that of giving or felling their citizcnlhips to persons of different names. Hence occurs in part the catife ef frequent <Wlavs and diftref-i that our merchantmen are I fnbjcft to, from the citizcnlhips ps the peo ple not correfpoftding with the names on the (hip's role. In one crew which came under i my notice, the mate and two hands were In "this predicament. You no doubt will per ceivr, Mr. Editor, how cafity this deception it'ay be praAifect among us, to the great danger of public fafety. But to return—Captain John not de ny hut that he has been and is still much concerned for the ofTeA of the foregoing ' lws —What then—he fays we have nought but the " ruff scuff" of Ireland here, and why, dear, may no t a man of my consequence make himself knov.m—Yes, Captain, you fliall be known.—Fate has decreed it. But yo'ti appear to prevaricate with yourlrlf A few months ago, when an address from the molt refpedtable inhabitants of the county, ex pressive ol the gre»t fatisfaAion they re ceded from, and the unlimited confidence they placed in the wife and firm proceedings of our worthy Prefideiit against the sons of violence and rapine, Was handed to you for your iignature, you declined giving it, and with your refufal, you added, " I an% an "lien, it would be very improper for me so appear on this occasion." And why not as improper on the present ? Are you more en titled to the privileges of an American citi zen by being a member of an com mittee ebofen by a turbulent body of men, the chief of whom are aliens and' all un friendly to our government—forgetful of the country which has long nourifhrd and protcAed them, they baftly assist prumotin . r the cause of her enemies f Are you more an American by afiiduou<l* poisoning the minds oi thofc, whole misfortune it is, that they are not able to you in vour dirty bu siness gf inveighing aga'mft certain laws, which were made so aptly to In It your cafe, that it is only neccffary to read therh to think of you .
