FIKNO, AS the inclosed answer to the following Circular Letter addressed to me, lias never appeared in " Tlie Press," arid as it may have beer mislaid, I take the liberry of re queuing a Place in yaur psper for its ia fertion. Yours, &e. JOHN EWING, Jan. February 26, 1800. If you have thought it criminal in the Richmond, November 2, 1799. &!**? complain ,f .0 to itfelf ' J the exclusive claim to federalilm, is it not R> : tqaully criminal and ins.lent in the extreme BELEIVING that far tkegreateft por in you, to propose your project, exclusively Hob of that party which arroga.es to itfel* for the fafe keeping of the <• freedom and the exclusive claim to Federalism, confilts of hap/n-fs of all our countrymen ?" What men, moral, humane, religious, and well proofs have you given of your superior pc. affe&ed to the R-publican Principle, but ; litical righteouihefs ? And with what f who from indolence of other motives attend- ! Countenance can you appear before th ing ft le to public affairs,'have been content people, and censure the conduft of others with receiving their-information from men ' because they arrogate to themselves the interfiled in keeping them in ignorauce ; and ; exclusive claim to federalism, and in the believing in the omnipotence of truth, we fame breath, and in the very project yon have have set on foot an eftablilhment, aa you ' proposed, ynu commit in fatt, the fame out. will perceive by the fubjoine.t projeft, . rage, and arrogate to yourfelvei the exclu. on a base so broad, ~ but which, from its violence and fallkood, will eventually excite public indignation, " and the establishment will fink under the displeasure ef its matters." 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;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 !
