PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4.
APPROACHING ELECTION.
NUMBER XI.
To the Eleßors of Pennsylvania.
A FIFTH address has, since my lafVnum
ber, appeared from the Jacobin Committee,
upon which I beg- leave t.> weary the patience
of the public/with a fiw observations:
lit. 'l'liey aflert, that the com
mittee had delayed their addrds,
with a. view of circulating niilreprefenta
tioss, which could not be feplied to, and
that it was sent to different parts of the
State before it was pijblifhed in the citv.—
This is an abfolutc fallhood. Mr. Hollingf
worth lent it to the editors of favzral newf
pa,pers, as footi as it was printed, and before
it was djftributed in pamphlets. But where
fore was Mr. M'Keart's committee entitled
'to the last reply ? Wherefore were the fede
ralists to be prev'eiited.'frpin cle'teiSling their
fal(Hoods upon the foot ? It is evident that
one of the parties mult have hatj the last
answer,' and why not the one as well as
the other ? Might not Mr. Rofs's com
mittee as jiiftly complain, that they will
liave no opportunity of replying, to the
work upon which I am now comment
- hng"? To difpliy the base and contemptible
•surtifites of \M.r. D'llas and his eollejgues,
in their proper 'colors, it is, however, only
jiyceflary to itate, that they have printed and
diftfibutejl an address in various parts of the
Stat&, which has never been publilhed in a
Philadelphia Gazette, which the most aflive
Hiembers of the' federal party have had, no
opportunity of feeing, and which, from be
. "'.ginning to end, is a tilfne of the mod palpa-
We, calumnious, and abandoned ■misrepre
sentations., I obtained a view of this curi
'• pus Jhoduftion only by chance, it was not
fuffcred to remain in my poffcffion, c and
' 1 -.cannot? with fuffitaent accuracy,
enlarge upon it.
J'"-'
, 2ndly. The jaco'oin committee r ffirm. that
although Mr. M'Kean knew that Dr. Lo
gan was going- to Europe, yet he neither
knew to what part of Euroj|, nor upon what
brfihefs ; and he only furnuhed the do&or
with a certificate under his hand and seal, in
his official capacity, and according to his
official duty, that Dr. Logan was a citizen
of the United Statrs."
Now Dr. Logan has acknowledged, in an
apology for his conduft, figiied by himfelf,
aAd publUhed in the Aurora, that he went
to. France with the privity of some of the
moll distinguished charades in America.
It is confefled that the chief justice of Penn
sylvania (whole office, certainly grants great
diflinftion), furnilhed him with a certificate
of citizenlhip, for the pnrpofe of going to
Europe. Is it then credible that Mr.
M'Kean is not one of the persons to whom
Logan alludes ? If the pursuits of the envoy
were purely agricultural as he has alledgcd,
wherefore was any lecrefy neceffyry ? II his
ohjedls were of a political nature, wherefore
/hould they have been concealed from the
republican candidate, whose views generally
coincided with his own ? Were his inten
tions to* criminal to be confided, even to.the
leaders »f his own faftion ? Weife they too
dangerous and treasonable even for a Jef
ferfon and M'Kean to fanftion ?
But how could it have been the official
duty of Mr'. M'Kean, to grant certificates
ol citizenlhip? Is such a duty in any re
fpe£l judicial ? Is it the bulrnefs of any
Slate officer to grant such certificates ? The
lights excluliveJy appertains to the officers
of the general government; and I challenge
the comtriittee, or any of their partizani, to
point out any law by which such a duty has
been devolved upon the chief justice of Penn
sylvania, or a (ingle instance of his ha/ing
before performed it.
3d. Ihe republican committee declare,
that Mr. M'Kean ha> never approved, di
rectly or indire&ly, of the claim of the Penil
family, as made under the British treaty.
Nor has it ever been fail that he does so.
But in answer to the clamours made by his
committee, again (I the proceedings of the
Britifti commissioners, it has been alerted,
and with truth, that he has fanetioned the
principles whereon that claim is grounded,
and has written a pamphlet in support of.
them. This pa'tnplilet is part of a memo
rial presented to the Board, by the present
attorney in faa, of MefTrs. Peon's* and pre
sifely so far as the claim is inadmissible, has
Mr. M'Kean endeavored to substantiate a
demand, unjiilt in itfelf, and injurious to
his country. It is perfe£lly immaterial
when the book was written ; it corroborates
the ideas of the claimant, or he would cot
have produced it as a proof of the validity
and justice of his claim ; and this is all that
has ever been contended for.
4th. Mr. Dallas and his subalterns deny
that the opinion of their candidate, publiftied
in 1798, agrees with that of the general
Britilh agent, who contends, that the U.
r v
s..
w**"' v%V
J. "
'States were not. independent until the defi
j nitive t>eaty of 1783. Now, Mr. M'Kean,
; in the opinion alluded to, expressly declares,
J that " the civil war continued till the year
| 1783;" that " all, the inhabitants of the
; United States were put on the footing of a
ceded island, by 'the definitive treaty of
1783;" and, that " after'the definitive
treaty, the national independence was con
summated," A civil war, in its.verynature
only, exists between the different branches of
; the same- empire, not between two indepen
dent nations* / Ifj.'as he fays, this ciyil war |
did not terminate with declaration of
1776, but continued until V 783, we mull
have been dependant upon Great Britain
till that period, we did' not become
Sovereign States until that moment, and of
course we remained Britilh fubjeits, until
the king of England put us on the footing
of a ceded island, by (i~ning the definitive
treaty, and thereby consummating our na
' tional independ; nee. The opinion df Judge
Chafe, mutilated as it is in the quotation of
the committee, in 110 wife corresponds with
that ot Mr. M'Kean ; for the former fays
only, that the fubjedts of Great Britain
were entitled to become American citizens,
on the declaration ot independence: While
the latter affirms, that the citizens of Ame-
Rica were entitled to etyoufe whicb party
they piejfad, until the definitive treaty.—
The difference between the tw» opinions
conflitute precisely the point in dispute, for
if the doclrine of the republican candidate
be trirs, the tories who espoused the cause
of Great Britain after 1776, became British
subjects, <yid lfave, therefore, under the lixth
art*.le of the Britilh treaty, a right to reco
ver their confifcated dtftts and estates.
sth. Mr. M'Kean's cotjimittee endeavoui"
.to pallijtg his conduct at the Mayor's, after
the diflurbauce 111 St. Mary's chureh yarJ,
by afierting " ifl. That the city and its
neighbourhood had been much didurbed with
-he feuds and riots of iritemperate party men.
2d. That the streets wgs crowded wi{h L peo
ple, and that the report was officially made
to the chief jui\ice, that tl?e prisoners wVre
paraded hand-cuffed through the city. 3d.
I hat when the ta£is were uniie.rftood, he per
ceived at once that the riot had originated
in a party contest, and that tiie prisoners
•svere not the aggreffijrs. 4 th. That they have
tince been prosecuted, tried, and acquitted."
If the city had been before diflatbed by
the ieuds and riots of intemperate party
men, there was the more leafon for making
a severe example of the rioters on this
cafien, since if they had betn fufFe f ed "to
take up their hats and go away," so dan
gerous a pradfice would have become more
frequent from impunity.
It the ftre'ets were crowded with people,
it was no more than lias been usual when
any offence has been committed of so atro
ciaus a nature, as to rouse the public atten
tion and curiobty. Nor could the report
that the prisoners were hand-cuffed, have
been officially made, unlei's it was fwsrn to,
since no judge can take official notice of any
-faft, tinlefs tt is proved by the oath of the
informer. It any such official information,
therefore, was given (as it was„totally falfe)
•the prrfon who gave it was perjured, and if
so, the vigilant chief justice ought to have
bound him over for prosecution. Confe
qnently, either no (uch official report was
made, or Mr. M'Kean has been guilty of
a flagrant breach of his judicial duty, in not
binding over the perjured party.
Mr. M'Kean did ntjt take time fairly
" to understand the fafts," for the moment j
ne entered the Mayor's house, and before he
could perceive whether " the prisoners were !
the aggrtlfori or not," he most violently at
tacked, and insultingly abused that magi
strate, while in the execution of the ditties
of his office.
If the prisoners have been preheated,
tried, and acquitted, it was no reason for
advising them " to take up their Ifais and go
away, or for not taking their recognizances
to appear at court and ftand'their trial'-; since
we daily fee, by the practice of our courts,
that fitfficient cauk* exists for profecut'on,
when fufficienl evidence cannot be adduced
to bring, about cpnvi£Vion.
But admitting ;:ll tjje fails stated by his
committee to be true, Mr. M'Kean's con
duft was not the less indecent, illegal, and
criminal. Pie poff lied no legal authority to
contreul the mayor in the exCrcife of his
judical fundions. If that officer Jiad been
oppressive or tyrannical, more legal means
than one existed, by which the prisoners
could have obtained redress, and Mr. M'Kean
is not so ignorant a lawyer, as to be unin
formed that he was guilty of a gross con
tempt ot judicial authority, for which he
was liable to, and deserved iinpriloninent,
Candour* however, compels me to record one
faft, in puliation of his behaviour : He
was in a ftatc of evident intrx : cat:on, and
Mr. Israel, bail for one ot the prisoners,
leaned towards the drfk at which the mayor
was fitting, and said " never mind him Mr.
Mayor, he is drunk, no on with taking the
recognizances." \et do we now fee tl)is
Israel among the moll zealous and efficient
supporters of Mr. M'Kean's eleftion.
"I he committee conclude with a declara
tion " that adhering to their original dtfen
sive principle, they shall leave the merits
and demerits of Mr. Rofs to the ordeal of
public Opinion. And how have they afted
ugon a defensive principle ? Did they not
in their fir ft address declare that they could
discover neither talents nor public virtue in
the federal candidate, and that he had endea
voured to advance a system which could be
eftabliffied only on the ruins of the federal
commonwealth ?" Did they not in their se
cond publication plainly insinuate that he
had been guilty of treason, by fomenting
the wrftern rebellion ? Have they not ex
pressly compared Mr. Wharton to the " cap- !
tain of a banditti, organized for the pur- '
poses of assassination and pillage?" And
has not Mr. Coxe, one of cheir number, in
a paper branded with his own fignaturc, and ,
-
filled with the mofi atrocious falfelcci's,
nccufed Mr. Rots of prompting to the it;ur
dtr ot the officers of government, ot fcrt
tering the firebraiids of -diu.ord, and fanning
the flame of inhirreifuon ? Tf libels as scan
dalous and malignant as tbefc, .conftitutc
actmg upon the defensive, the public haw
hitherto totally miiunderflood the tern;.
Mr. Dj'las may, bowevev, be afTwed, that
the public fee through the veil tf hypocrisy
with which be' has endeavoured to conceal
his intentions ; and' that Mr. Rnfs will be
eledled in defpight if all the '• cabals of
fadion, and'the fpe&res of detra&ion."
Since the ab'ov; was written, the fourth
addrels to which I alluded, us "having been
circulated in pampnlets before it appeared in
the city, has been publilhed. It bears date
the 27th of September, and was hot pl;b

Extract of a letttr from Huntingdon, da-

Mr. Wyetli has been in this town last
week, and has said in public, that fee has
been offered one thoui'and dollars not to
write any thing in favour ofßofs, and five
hundred of it in hand ; and said he did not

county."
REMARKS ON THE ABOVE.

last week, ty Mr. Stacy Potts, Gen. H;ib

to thera, that this was not an accurate state

that I had said, and I do hereby declare,

I do not liefitate to fay, that I have both
in public and private, in Huntingdon and

which of the candidates for Governor would

when I refle&cd on some of the committee
for promoting Mr. M'Kean's eleftion, de

IMPORTANT ABSTRACT OF FO-
REIGN AFFAIRS.
From the Sun of /.luguft 9.
We yefterdav announced, in part of our
impression, the receipt of Paris papers to
the Jth in!t. If they do not give us reason
to believe that any great success has b; en
obtained by the allies, tfcey afford us at lead
a eertainty that, our enemies have not gained
any. Tliey do indeed fay, that they have
obtained a fma 1 advantage ib Switzerland,
but aU the late accounts agree in reprefen
ting the-two hostile armies in tl*at country
as is nearly the fame position in the end of
last month, in which they have for so long
a time bten. The head quarters of the
Archduke have r ' it' is true, been rerroved
two leages backward, but the army has not
followed this movement, and has maintain
ed Its position. The troops opposed to
each other on the right bank of the Rhine,
have 5n like manner remained nearly inaflive.
The cafe has rot been the fame in Italy, and
tho.igh we have no authentic account of the
operations of the armies in that coufltry,
we fee that ef the allies has been attive
ly employed at its two present objefts, the
siege of Mantua, and that of-Aleflandria.
The latter place has, it appears, affced to
capitula'e, but the propoutionsof the com
mandant were not accepted, and it was ex
peSed that in would surrender before the
2?o li of July. It is probable 1 hough we
we (hall hear of its furrendet before the ex
piration of a week. The siege of Mantua,
at which it appears that more than 30,000
mm are employed, has been no' vigo
roufly puflied. although attended w th more
difficulty. The besiegers took possession 01
the 12th of another outwork ;on the 15th
tlie fecptid parallel was finifhed, and prepa
rations were made to begin the third ; the
principalattack is direfted against the Faux
burg St. George. If we may believe a
letter from Pavia of the 15th, General Mo
reau had only left a small body of troops in
the defiles of the Appennines, and had
himfelf retreated as far back as Albenza.
Marftiall Suwarrow is said to have gone up
the valley of the Bcrmida, and to have ad
vanccd as far as Ormia and Garrefio This
movement is a natu al consequence of that
ef General Mtref.u, and if the latter has
really taken place, little doubt can be es
tertained as to the former. In that cafe
the situation of Moreau must be ve>y criti
cal, and the design which Marlhal Suwarow
it fuppuftd to entertain, of taking possession
of the road of the Coi du Tende, maybe
realized.
The French papers confirm all we kiiow,
and even give us new details refpefting the
recapture of '.he state of Naples and of the
Grand Dutchy of Tufcany, but bring us
nothing certain refpeftiug thd fate of Mac
donald and his army. It is said that one
part was at Lucca, another at Pontremoli,
I reports moil be falfe ; but we ?re Furnifhect
' with no dates lo enable us to determine
'which is so. We arc in the fame situation
Day«.
. with refpe& to a riper of the capture .by
the Engliih of a ship carrying G neral Mac
donald, his Staff, and the ( ommiffary Rein
hard, which is jcbntradifled. and, as it ap
pears, with good reason, flnce subsequent
accounts state Reinhard to have arrived at
: Villt Franche. The Auftriins had enter
ed Piltoya, arid, what is flill more impor
j tant, Leghorn and Aucona continue to be
besieged.
| Though the Paris papers are not so fa
tisfaflory as we could desire refpefting fo
reign affairs, they are on the other hand
very intereftirg on the affairs of France
itfelf. They indeed take advantage of that
degree of Liberty of the Prcfs wh ; ch the
councils have grantfed tbem. The journals
j rtprefent the ftafe of their countty to be
| such, as the molt decided enemies to the
French can wifli it to be. The war, the
j taxes, and the new tyranny which the J?-
j" cobjn6 exercise, have reduced the inhabitants
I of France to what we should call the ex
j treme degree of misery, if futurity did not
! appear to be big with Hill greater evils for
I them. The wretchedoefs of the people is
; only equalled by the diflrefs of the govern
ment, which is incapable of supporting it*
i felf at the fame time againftwant of money,
I war, the attack of its internal ihcmies, and
i the dilccntent of all the inhabitants of the
Republic. Although even according to
the statement of the French papers, the re»
latire fmiation of the Diredlory, of the
Councils, and of the Jacobin Club, a
real chaos, the vi-w becomes, however,
somewhat less obfciive. The Councils of
Five Hund ed continues to support, or to
be lupported by the Jacobins. T'nacofthe
Elders oppofcß them with some firmnefi,
and does, in faft, p'av the part afligned
to it by the Constitution—that of a Made-
ratcu. The Direfti ry, divided between
Sieyes and Bavraa on ihe ofte hand, and the
three Directors on the other ia neutralized
by the attachment of the two former to the
■ Council of Elders and of the three others
| to the Council of Five Hundred ; fa that
; the real contest is between the two Councils.
| That cf the Elders, whose constitutional
i force is merely negative, does rot, however,
confine itfelf to rejeftir g some Decrees of
that of the Council of Five hundred. After
having, as has been seen, driven the Jaco
bins from its vicinity, it took on itfelf, ia
the fitting of the 31ft, to bridle their vio
lence and their daring publications. The
Direftory have in confequtnce been called
upon to make communication refpefting
ths executioH of the Articles of the Con
stitution relative tu Societies and Associa
tions, contrary to the public order, and to
private Societies occupying themselves with
the difcuifiona of political questions. We
IhaD fee whether the Council of Elders will
carry their courage,, and their desire of pre
serving the Constitution and themselves any
further. In the mean time, the Jacobins
continue to organize their power. The af
filiated Clubs of the great cities have again
openedtheir fittings. Marseilles, Bourdeaux,
and Rouen, again tremble under the axe of
their ancient oppreflurs. The Jacobins have
renewed their ancient method of procuring
denunciations from the Provinces. The
admin.ftratori of a Department in the South
have drawn up an address, in which they
accuse Barras and Sieyes ef being fold to
the coalition,; charging the former with hav.
j ing delivered to the allies the of
Piedmont and Italy, and the latter withbe
! ing the author of a secret convention for
giving a King to France, a> d with hiving
received presents from the King of Pruflia
for that purpose. Whether or no thefeA®-
cufatior.sbe well founded, there will be
found a number oi people in France who
will believe them, and the throne which one
of our Englilh papers has day after day been
raifiog for King Barras, mufl at prefect ap
pear to him to exist only in his own columns.
riK- Debates of the Councils have princi
pally turned 011 the three objects which at
preient chiefly interefi. then*—the loan of
100 millions, the measures relative to the
war, ■'r.d the Jacobin Qub. '{'lie Council
of Elders has njeiSU-d the mode adopted by
that of Five Hundred,/as to raiting by mul
tiplied aIT. iTments of the taxes the loan of an
Hundred Millions, which they have decreed,
t be Council «1 Five hundred has in conse
quence pre fen ted fever al other modes, one
oi which has been definitely adopted ; and
of which a Iketch is to be found among our
extrafts. 111 the mean time the govern
ment, reduced to such di fire Is from want of
money as to he unable to fend off the troops
to the army which it destines for it, is said,
after several conferences with Bankers, to
have obtained an advance of fix, millions of
