To this it is answered, that the sound American Patriots, or Federalists, are of opinion, the French Direttorv pay no re fpeft to the Law of Nations, to promises, or treaties ; that they despise religion and morality, and bold every aft to be lawful, which gives them any advantage, over other fetes or countries, particularly those which are unfortunately their neighbours, however innocent or unoffending ; and that the bulk of the people of France, are too ignorant to underfend what 13 meant by the very term republicanism. In this view it is, that the American Patriot, holds French republican ism in the utmost contempt, and abhorrence, and feels mortified, that there fliould be any of his countrymen, base enough to advocate flich republicanism. Ktocracy. It is answered, ,that found American pa triots, consider pure Democracy, as one of v'aofc Plagues vthnsii have been tu fife fed, oc casionally to afflict mankind. It is every thing that ban be didlated, by the. most tur bulent, wicked and ambitious men, carried into effect, by an inflamed and ignorant multitude. It is a mob-government ; a gov ernment without branches, where every in dividual, has a right to oppose, every indi vidua' ; where few's are made in the fame way, and with as little deliberation, as lotvn resolves, in public squares, or State-House yards. We hope it is the prayer of all good men, that the United States, may never be cursed, with fjjch a peftile'nce. The existing government of the United States is a well poised, and balanced machine, it is equally diflant from a democratic, aris tocratic, or monarchial government, while it partakes of the principles of each. It will be the endeavor of the Federal- ids, to perpetuate this government, and they will take up arms," to prevent mad De mocrats, at the nod of their demagogues, from changing it, for a pure democracy, eft mockis in rebus. The 3d charge—They have violently Coun ter-argued, equal liberty. It is answered, Americans of sound prin fiples have argued again ik every kind of li berty, which would disturb the social order and violate the long settled maxims, of re ligion, and politics, which form the only sure, and solid support of states and king doms. The 4th charge—They have roundly con demned resistance, to the unlawful, and un constitutional adis of power. Answer. Sound Federalists, have univer sally and rdiiudly condemned, resistance to the acts of government, and will, it is not doubted, always, not only condemn, butpu nifh thole who attempt to refill those afts. The sth charge—They have openly advo cated, an eftabliihed church. Answer. True Federalists, who love, cberisb and protect the Constitution, with their pens, and when occasion requires, with their swords ; know, that the Constitution declares, " Congress lhall make no law, re setting an eftablilhment of religion."— '*■ .'K Knowing this barrier to aneftablilhed church, it is certainly true, that they have never ad vocated the propriety, utility, or policy of tawtf %sic <&awitz.

The charges, now noticed, are a part oj the covert insinuations, misrepresentations and falsboods, which the Aurora is in the dr.ily praftice of circulating ; the tendency and intention of which, is, to. withdraw the" affections of the people, from their crvtj fx-. cellent, free and lawful government, and : ' prepare tliem for insurrections, anif a French Directory. CO MM UNI CA TIONS. Jasper complains at the lenity of the Brt tifh government in having spared the up men, who have been convicted for high tr. afon. Had tbey been hanged accord ing to law, ther* would have J>oen no more said on the fubjeft ; but li: ce they are pardoned on condition of their going a broad,&fomeof theminto thePrnffianfervice, ly their own dfirc, Jiifper raves at the injus tice done to those choice republicans who so patiently received the kicks and cuffs of Malbato officers while the Freuch com manded at Killala. When it plea its HeaVeu to deprive a ban ditti. of their leader, the devil not Uncom monly infufei a greater portion than ordina ry ot his infernal spirit," into fotrie infuial villain ot the gang, by of which he is soon enabled to usurp the command. , No sooner does lie find hithfelf tiios pro moted, than he contrives to figniliae him fejf by some unmatchable deed of mifchief, in order to render himfelf the admiration of his compeers. Thus has it been with the ex-llice black of the late Aurora-man ; but his progress has rarely been paralltlsd in rapidity, or its constant tendency towards the highefl point of baseness. He began by calling General Waftnngton a fool, a coward and a murderer—he called Mr. Adams a blind, bald, toothless, crip pled old dotard—he juflified and defended the Northampton insurgents—and maligned the general and the army who quelled them. His next step was to accuft captain Truxton and his gallant officers and crew, of treach ery and murder—and, to crown all, he boasts of these publications, and extols himfelf for publishing pieces an hundred times more ob noxious than the tnol! venemous villain in America has dared to utter. That a fellow thuslo/l to every sense of fr.ame, thus brazen and bold in his opposi tion ao, and ridicule of the friends and de fenders of the government and country in which he lives and fattens, should devote himfelf to. the intereib of the enmi£S »f Ame rica, ir. hy Dc -fiicjiif, txtp.oi'dfsar?.. B u : it is fupprifing that this is borne by' the go vernment or its constituents. The evils fuf fered in conseqUence of the circulation of the Aurora are palpably connected with their fcaufe. It is known, and acknowledged, by the deluded wretches themselves, that the late infurre&ion owed its existence to the kditious and inflammatory publications which daily spread discontent and disorder among the inhabitants of Northampton. Every day.furnifhes us with new proofs that papers of this charafter, publilhed in the United Statis, have diredkd to our defence* less commerce the robbers of Gaul, and have vindicated their depredation even to the teeth of the wretched fufFerers : and yet we hear of no (leu being taken to crush those serpents wmch are day and night la boring to topple down the fabric: of our in dependence. " Tha! the sedition law was inexpedient is proved," fay the democrats " by its not having yet been brought into operation." If the knowledge of its exis tence would awe the factious intoobedience, it would be ufeful, though never carried in to effe<3. But it is not only inexpedient, but pernicious, if it is fuffered to sleep amid the outrages of the very wretches for. the government of whom it was designed. It is now the jest a"d sport, the king log of these fellows, and they are learning fall to jest ana sport with every other,law in the fama way. It is therefore highly neceflary that it should be executed with rigor, or those who look for proteftion from die govern ment and laws, and who deserve it, may be driven from us to feaich for it elsewhere.

To the author of No. 2, addressed to the ] Managers of the Alms Mouse aid of Employ. YOU fit off again with your .453 grown peii'ons who. earned by their work only £.87 6 4, as if you were deter mined to perjjft in error, .and thereby deceivi the public—orell'e you,and I have very dif ferent ideas of earnings. The sum we (late, and which is in fatt £-87 6 4,, is, the net profit arising to the inilitution from the va rious maiituadlories. The amount of work done ("ivliicb is certainly what you mean when you fav a common laborer, earns twict as much in one .day, as one in the Alm- House earns in a year) amounts to upwards -f/;. S c° : and I am fureif you will re-con lider the matter you will correct and revise your statement. ... " We are now waiting for f ourselves (meaning the Managers I suppose) not for W. or a-ty unknown person ,' to tell us what is the reason of this obvious declension of la bpr." Now where is your comparative state ment to (hew this " obvious declension." M> friend, you are totally ignorant of the fubjtft you have undertaken to write about: and let me advii'e you to go to the Alms House, take a survey, read the poor laws, and then fain sure if you have any'judgment, if there are any defects or abuses, you wi!l haVe oecaiion to address vour pjeces ta another quarter. It is ailonifhing how little paint are taken by the citizens to make them selves acquainted wiih the nature of the se veral ir.ftitutions inand near the city of Phi ladelphia. I will, for your amuftment, cite ■a cafe, v.hich I lately heard of, and whicli I believe to be a fart. The rulers of a cer tain humane charitable infiitution wanted a conference'with the managers of another infiitution : the rulers appointed a commit tee of" fix riif'mbers to meet a committee of the managers : tlie managers appointed a committee "bf half their number : the ru lers, because they had not appointed an etjiud number to-meet'their committer refus ed a conferrence until the poor . nVanagers frnt them "Word that if they were to appoint fix persons for their committee, it would in clude Preiident, Secretary and every individu al member of their board. This being made made known ; from pure motives of charity they consented to a conferrence. Now, by this I do not mean to attach any blame, be cause it was not their bulinefs to know how many managers there were ; but merely to (hew you how little pains is tak»n to get pro per information before we begin to 'aft. Those institutions actually were hot one mile apart. You seem offended at the managers for mixing their flour, meat, brandy, spirits and wine all together ; or in your own words, " blendid the charges To imperfedtly, that it is itnpoffible to under Hand them." I fee. you can take advice. Did I not tell you that you would not underfiand the manager's thousands, &c. ? And you have been wife in your anger too. No additions, friend scribe, mot a word about 453 grown persons and 153 children making 605 persons : no, no, that was too plain, any body can ander ftand you there : tbat is not the track you mean to pursue. Something mysterious, frightful Knapesj da-.-L complicated state ments, suit the gloomy habit of your soul. Plain, fair and limple statements would an swer no pwrpofe. Something to the point ; something inoomprehenlible to ignorant and uninformed minds; the hedious, frightful name of heavy taxes ; bad management, mull be bellowed forth : idleness,< extrava gance, no work, are 'the engines for your purpose. These are the weapons you can alone hope to use with success ill your ma licious, envious design. But this hope shall be blasted : the hand of Providence will fliield the Managers of the Alms House from such artifices : the cause of real benevolence and unaffected charity can not long want defenders, agalnft the attacks of your " well meant address*" In a vord, to confute all ycur prevarica tions, and to juftify every itu-m in the Ma nagers accounts, .this simple flatement will (hew that the paupers in the Alms House are maintained at near one third the price charg ed by the Pennsylvania HospitaL, for the poorest patients which they take into that the economy of the Managers of that insti tution. To prove this afiertion, 1 lav that the whole sum expended at the Alms House last year ' For maintenance of paupers in the fame, amounted to £. 12,284 n 7 Persons maintained in the House pet month aver age 605, at 1 dollar per ■week. Short £. 487 1 7 Thus the paupers are maintained for very near one third of the price charged at the Hospital ; and some cents less than the funa charged for fubfiflence of the convi&s in the common prison (which is 8/9 per week,) A soldier's ration at Philadelphia is near cents, after dedu&ing liquor, which is more thari is paid for the nwintainance of the pau pers, mar:y of whom are obliged to be fur nilhed, by reason of their age and infirmities, with tea and sugar. Now, how any rea sonable being can fay that the Managers of the Alms House are justly chargeable with mifcondntt, for my life I cannot fee. If the rrildnefs of our laws, the extention of char ity and an ill judged portion of philanthro phy have invited to our city, olnje&s of pub lic. care, are the Managers to blame ? Is it not known to you, that no person can be admitted to the Alms House fent in by an overseer. And further, fhowld a Ma nager receive, without an overseer's orders, any person, he would be liable for the ex peaie. And still further, that r.c person (except a non-resident) sent to the Alms House by an overseer can be refufed by the Managers. How is. it possible for the Managers to reduce the taxes, and take care of the poor ? The) maintain them on the ore hand, far less than anv other persons are maintained for in the. city ; whilst oh the other they have no controvl as to the number of admiffior.i- tiir, i hope I - .lid hujrane mind ; but &e»\jF fevrr&frnj't iion, frtend l'cribtfj I have'but little hope t' r . t •ny eiideavorswili prevail : abandoned li\irfi .je the ii>an, irtdefcd, that cbold fhat.'-hr'iVc-ni die Tielplefs infant, its morsel," which tht' nevolence of the citizens, without a Miliar. ?ives it ; cruel indeed, -who -could tttir. tU aged and infirm, without a {ftelter; from % comiortabl* duelling',' reared by charity : and for what ? foi pride, for avarice.
