But although truth will eventually tri. umph over falfhood, and consequently the fupportei s of our government will in time fucreed in the eftabli/hment of those princi ples, upon which our honor and happiness as a nation depends ; yet it is to be lament ed that the violence of faAien against found principles, and the clamor of party against the wisdom of our administration, will pro- . craftinate the period, when we shall enjoy the repose of political tranquility ; when the constitution itself will be fafe ; when the great anchor of our government, the Chief Magifirate of the Union, whose unequalled wisdom and unrivalled firmnefs entitling him to the love and applause of all the American people, will be without an enemy ; when the intrigues of some men, against govern ment, will cease to possess influence, and the misplaced ambition of another to rife to the Prefidei.tial Chair of the Union, will be laughed out of countenance, as the idle dreams of a rsstless, nervous politician. In this struggle between the government, > and those ip opposition to it, cool and dis passionate minds look out for some fixed point, to whieh they may rally, with a cer tainty of doing right. That point is, the preservation of our government from the boflile attacks, made upon the constituent parts of it, by which, that government has an exigence, and through which, it has the power of afting. I admit no diftindtion, between the hostilities committed against the constitution itself, and outrage and insult of fered to thole departments, which the c®n ftitution, through the voice rf the people, has made, and filled. Our constitution was called into existence, by a majority of the people ; the departments, authorized by the eonflitution, are filled by men, chosen by the people ; if therefore, outrage and insult are offered to those, who fill these depart ments, the injury is done to the spirit of the constitution itfelf, and the elential rights of a majority of the people. The reverse of these principles, appears to be the basis, upon which your press is instituted ; and thecon tents, of the firft number of it, fully charac terize the objett for which it was instituted. It will appear evident to the readers of your paper, whatever ether views you may have, or whatever disguise you may pleale to afTume, that the principal objeft of year press, is, to abuse the administration of our \ government, as a means preparatory to the ensuing election of electors of president and vice-president ef the United States, of en suring the ele&ion of men, whose princi ples and pra&ices coincide with your own ' The evidence of charalVer, which the firft number of " The Press" has exhibited to the public, illustrates the extent of your candour and liberality on that fubjeft.—- When that eleftion is thus anticipated, To Messrs. Meriwether Jones, Alexander M'Krae, and John H. Foushee, Trustees of a paper, entitled " The Press," publish ed at Richmond, Virginia. YOUR printed letter, addressed tc me, and dated the 2d Nov. last, was received by me feme time since. As you were personally unknown to me, and the prcpofed " proje<ft," for the estab lishment of a news paper was brought for ward, under the auspices of principle;, which I do not approve, I had indulged a hope, that my perfeft silence on the l'ubjedl of yotir letter, would, by you, have been con sidered as a fufficient mark of my unwilling ness, to become a party to your scheme. But finding that you have, notwithstanding I had given your proposals no encourage ment, forwarded to me the firft number of the paper, called " The Press," published by you at Richmond, agreeably to the plan proposed in your letter, I am conllraitied at this time, to express my disapprobation of the principles upon which your paper appears to be bottomed, and to request, that you may not in future trouble me with 'tny of the fruits of your labois, through the me dium of " The Press." In your letter, you presuppose the exist ence ot two facts, to correft the evils of which, you fay, forms the bails, upon which your" Press" is instituted. The first fact stated by you, is, that there daes exil\ " a party in this cauntry, which " arrogates to itfelf the exclusive claim to " federalifm, confiding of men, interested " in keeping the people of America ignorant "of their public affairs the second fadt which has claimed your attention, is, " that " the frequent attempts made to buy up the " republican papers, and put them down, by " harrafling and ridiculous suits ; or for li " bel aud sedition, point out the necessity as " eftabliihing your " Press." It is necessary, before just tonqlufions can be drawn, that the premifci Ihould be sub stantiated, and therefore, you fliould, firft, have fully demonstrated both these fatts. You are now called upon for a proof of the existence of these facts, and I trufl that it is out of your power to produce such evidence. Thus destitute of principle, and of tritb, you appear before the world at the head of an institution, bottomed on falfhood ; which, "whilst it arrogates to itfelf the right of de claring into existence a party, to whom yeu afcr.be, without any colour of proof, the most improper pra&ices ; you extend the luminous rays of your malevolent fyflein, and under the insidious garb of pretended friend ship to the country, vainly attempt to poi lon the pure fountains of our political en joyments, by endeavoring to create jaaloufy between the people and the government. But I trust " in the omnipotence of truth" and believing, that " far the greatest por tion of the people of Americ* consist of men, moral, humane, religious, and well affedt ed to the republican principles of our go vernment," and feeling that attachment, and alive to their true happiness, they will, on the one hand, despise the insult you have pointedly offered to them, by charging tlxri with ton much indolence to watch over, and too mvcb ignorance to comprehend their pub lic affairs ; and on the other hand, that they will diligently guard against a " Press" which was conceived by falihood,—born in a conflict ot party against the government of the people, and organized far the express purpose oi opposing the >;iws, upon which suits far libels and sedition are authorised €O%W to be instituted ; and this too, as it npetirt by your own expreflions, an « a base f 0 broad," and «on principles so extended as to be beyond the reach of accident," to lim, t controul, or punish. ' With these marks of chara&er, self-im pressed, on the infant countenance of your proposed project, where faifhood and malev olence contend for pre-eminence, overigne. ranee and impudence, I aflc, upon what ground, can the people of America expect from such a project, <' consequences rood beneficial to the freedom and happineft of all our countrymen ?" If jour project reds on " a bate so broad," and will be extended be yornl the '• reach of accident" to controul. I a£k, what security have the people of A. merica, that their freedom and happinefj, will be most fafc in your hands ? In whose hands ? An unknown Editor, governed L three obscure trus.'ees !
