Mr. Fenno,
Inclosed I fend you a letter from the
committeeoor. r correspondence for Walhing
ton county, covering a certificate from a
number of the moll (cfpedable gentleme 1
in that county, proving Mr. JAMES
ROSS of Pittsburgh's attachment to the
Christian Rel'gion, in contradi&ion to a
falfe a id fcandalotis report propogated and
industriously circulated, by the friends to
Mr. M Kean's eledKon. «' that Mr. Rofs is
an Atheilt, a Deist," &c. I have known
Mr. Rols from liis youth, and his father
and friends of York county, where he was
born, and a more religious and virtuous ia
mily is not to he produced. In my long
acquaintance wiih him, I have never heard
an irreligious or indelicate exprelfion from
him, and believe him to be a moral, wife and
virtuous citizen, a good Christian, and well
qualified to fill the important office of Go
vernor.

Washington, August 28, 1799.
Sib, *
THE committee in this county for pro
moting the eleftion of Mr. Rofs, have learnt
where Mr. Rofs is less known than here, cur-
rency is given by the enemies to his election,
(the fame conscientious men who Supported
the election of Mr. Jcfferfoiv,) to a report,
that Mr. Rnfs is a Deist.
'1 o prevent the effect of this report, one
of the committee in this town, where Mr.
liofs lived more thau ten years, and until
about five years ago, applied to fueh elders
and other persons, noted for their piety and
regard for religion, as have known Mr. Rofs
during- the wlrole of this time, 2nd as easily
could be applied to, and they chearfully figii
ed th»* enclosed certificate. It w;>s regretted
that the absence of the Rev. John M'Millan,
(who is the minister nearest to this place, is
intimately and has been about twenty years
well, acquainted, with Mr. Rofs, aifd re zeal
ous for his election,) and of* the other Pref-
milliters in this neighbourhood,
\vho are how fitting in Presbytery, mere than
sixty miles from this town, preventtd the
obtaining of their contradiction to this falfe
and malicious repcrt. But it was not tho't
prurient for the, fake of thts, to fuffer tVic
"report to gain force, by the delay of another
week's port: elpecially as .those who have
fie;lied, are diilinguiOitd characters, for good
sense, ltoneftyand piety, and refpe&able for
their ftatimis in Society. Mr. 'Allifon is
judge of this county, Mr. Swearenger, Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Ritchie are ju(Vices of the
peace, afid the last has been a member of af
f-mbly. Mr. Cott 11 and iffr". Briee, arc
county conuuiffionc rs, and the la ft has been
a member of aflembly. Mr. Cunningham
is a fubfhntial merchant and Mrj;Mercer a
1 farmer. Tlufe gentlemen being
all in town at the time, were readily applied
to, and yotvmny be assured, that the certifi
cate, of any one of them, is fufficient to out
weigh the report. Many more names could
have been obtained, but to seek numbers was
thought to be giving too much refpeet to the
(lander, and a (election of a few unquestion
able charafters was thought befi.
Tlie presence of the Rev. John Smith, of
CartiJon/Wrgb, a learned and respectable Se
ccder iciniOer, who,, about three years ago,
removed to this cpiintry from Ofton ra, in
Lasestfter coumy, enabled us to procure his
certificate ill'o, and upon ttiis'wi are content
, to reftthe character ck Mr. Rofs and of our*
j
IVIVes.
We could with as much 'ease have obtain
ed as positive a denial of all the other mali
cious leports lately propagated again# Mr.
Rofs, and we do pledge ourfelves-that thry
are falfe. But we thought it not of coiifr
quence to do so, as-they are, we trufl, ge-
ne.rally known to be falfe; and as such re
ports from unprincipled and designing men
are usually expected on such occafimis. But
there are ft? few means of afiertaining the
credit due to a report of infidelity and a' re
fpe<fi for religion is of fu«h importance in
public iVcitions, that we thought it a duty to
our fellow citizens to disprove the aspersion
of deism.
Least, therefore, tkis aspersion should ruif
lead good people, unacquainted with Mr.
Rofs, the committee here request that you
will publish, if you think proper, theft; do
cuments in the newspapers or in hand bills,
as you think heft, and in filch wanner as
you think most fit. The original o£ thele
certificates is in the hands of the committee
of Franklin county.
A. ADDISON,
Cbairmau of the committee of Washington co.
IVaJhington, (P.) Aug. 26th 1799.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WE tlis fubferibers, regular members of
sundry Presbyterian congregations in the
county of Washington, have heard with
surprise and regret, that among the many
Glanderous reports prupagated again ft the
refpe&able charafter of Jame6 Rofs, Esq.
of Pittfiburgh, who has been proposed to be
chofeti governor of Pennsylvania, one is
that he is a Dt-ifl.
We trust that we have a firvoere regard
so truth and religion, and we feel ourfeNts
bound by the duties we owe to both, so far
as our tellimony can go to remove from our
fellow citizens, this obftruftion to the free
excrcife of our votes in favour of Mr. Rofs.
God forbid that we should aflift in placing in
fuck an important a Ration,.a man defective
in refpeft for religion. And we but obey
the dictates of our own conscience* in ma
king the following declaration of what we
know of Mr. Roi'd, from our own observa
tion and indubitable information.
Mr. Rofs was born of refpe&abls and
pious parents, of the Presbyterian churc'i in
York county rn this state, and received fiom
them a religous education. He is well in
ltru&ed in the scriptures and the do&rmes
of chrilUauitY as held by our church ; and
we are persuaded believes and refpedls
them. He lived long in this town, and long
er in this county, and we have had good
opportunities of knowing him. Where he
has lived, there has not been any stated
minister, and only occasional supplies for
public worship. But he has contributed to
the support of public worship where he liv
ed, and attended it regularly and.there is
nothing known to us to juftify the imputa
tion that he is an infidel or deist, apd we
think this imputation falfe and malicious.
; In witness whereof we have Jjercto fci our
hands. *

Sir,
I scarcely thought it pofiible among the
vicifihudes of human affairs, that I should
have to address you through the channel of
a Newspaper ; but it seems the period has
arrived, when it has become necessary for
me, in order to contradift the vile slander
that has been propogated, and the odium
attempted to be thrown upon me, by those,
who I presume, aft by your authority ; I
mean certain AdJre[fers of the Public in this
place, that have, through the medium of
your sif i tend Solomon Myer's press, among
other things dated, " Another charge is,
" that M'Kean should have said, that York
•' county was a Tory county ; but the truth
"is, Mr. M'Kean never either expressed |
"or entertained fa'ch an opinion. It is the
" fabrication of party men, and circulated
" with a view, to prejutfiee the people of
it York county againlt our Republican can
" dida'e."
Whether the above charge is true, and
the assertion of yow friends untrue, I leave
you and the public to determine, when I
solemnly declire. that you, at the house of
JohnWatfon, Esq. in Miffim county, ii."
the presence of the honorable Edward Ship
pen and Edward Shipprn Burd Efcjs. did
assert, without any pTevioU3 prorocaiion,
" that the people of York supported the
" Briufli Corporal, and were a pack of
•' damn'd Tories ; ' and I replied they were
li a? good IVbigt ai your Honor3cc,
At another time, at Hartley's iavern,
near Bedford," in the prefenee of a Mr.
" Shields. yoJ said " the members of Af
"fembly fr >m York county, were damn'd
" fooll, aud that you coulJ not get them, to
do what you wanted f" to which I replied
that was the reason the county sent such
men, for was it known that you had any in
fluence over them, they never would b:- eled
ed. At another time, I heard you fay
York was a Tory coun y," and I then
replied it was not, cor would I fuffer such
dander. I have also heard you fay, that
every word of the letter written by Mr.

" General Within ton, had done great deal

TURKEY, June io.
F<*m the Vienna Gazette.
Xte following authentic accounts have I
been rtc?ived of the titration of affairs is
Syria. On of April, Commodore
Sir Sidney StflUh had sent intelligence trom
Acre, that Buonaparte (who conduits the
fcife of St. John d'Acre in perlon) had al
ready wajled fix weeks before that wretched
place, without having made any imprcJ&oii
on it. The tire of two Engiilh (hips of
war and fix gun-boats, in the whole 80
pieces of artillery, whictT, at ever)" ailault,
played Ujwn the flank of tiie French, killed
great of their men. Smce tbien a
letter, da:*d the 16th of May, has been re
ceived from a secretary of the Commodore,
Smyrna, from which it appears that. Buo
nipate had made nine unfuccelsful attacks,
and that the Pacha had made a fnlly, in
which eight French generals, (Caffarelli,
Lafcalle, Langier, Lafne, Devoz, V aux,
Rampen,. and Dnguet) 8o officers, and
common men, were killed.
The Druffes, fn'.l of confidence in the
Commodore, and love for the Englifli, be
haved excellently. The bed underflanding
prevails between the Englifii and the I urks.
\ The enemy's army is greatly weakened, both
I in number and physical strength ; full of
1 discontent, which js loudly expjefled ;-in
want of every thing, and has loft all credit
among the inhabitants of the country, on.
account of the ill success ol the undertak
ing.
"According to some private accounts, the
communication between Buonaparte and
the reft of his troOps is cut off.
The Grand Viz'er was y»ft?rday at Nico

LONDON, July 14.

with the habits and-comforts of moral life

Jc«u l>bry's promotion to the < ffiee of

haps not o«e in five hundred could have ef
fe'fted.
The learned men whom Buonaparte carri
ed with him on his expedition must have pro
ved infinite feivice to him on various oc
caftons; for although his army h's io okrn
been totally cut off both by sword and fa
mine, we find that they are i'oon again in a
situation to take the Geld.—This eSc&doubt
lefs must have been produced by some fcienti
fic operation, for we cannot suppose that
every man in the armywvas a John Debry,
and by a miracle.
