Jurtum et tenacem propofiti virum, No" cmum ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus inftanti< cyranni, Mente quatit fotida. The following ji-opofition is said to have been submitted to the Senate of the United States, bv the celebrated author of" Thk ALtENS,"an heroi com c Poem : Between the word " Senate," and the word " and," in the fourth line from the end of the resolution submitted a few days lince, refpe&ing the Aurora, to insert " and that the said committee be also direifttd to enquire, who is the editor of the newspaper printed in the said city, called " Gazette of the United States, and Philadelphia Daily Advertiser." And by what means the said editor became poffefled of the votes in the Senate on the bill sent from the House of Representatives, for suspending the enlist ments of the twelve regiments, See. As published in the said newspaper, bearing date tbe 13th of February inftantj and by what authority he publilhed those votes par tially, and under the claffification costained in the said newspaper ; and also whether the said editor is the author of sundry aflertions, observations and reflections, immediately preceding and following the (latement of the said votes, and publiibed in the said paper, of and concerning tbe Senate of the United States, and the members thereof in thir official capacity. As it may give some fatisfa£lion to this learned and inquiiitive gentleman, as well as to his illustrious compeers, I will answer his questions, notwithftauding the Senate refufed him their parmiffion to put them. lam th* editor of that unfortunate Ga xette, which, it appears, hai given luch mortal offence to th« sage eleven, and perhaps to more than eleven thousand of their illuminated aflociatea throughout the country. lam well pleased that this motion was made by our author, and equally well pleased ihat it was supported by the men whose names appear in the affirmative. The enquiry concerning " the means by which the said Editor became pos sessed of the votes in the Senate on the bill sent from the House of Representatives for suspending the enliftmenta of the twelve re. gimrnts, &c." must appear not a little cu rious to the reader, when he refle&a that the proceedings of the Senate, and its Jour nals, containg a statement of all the votes, are public, and that our author knew thefc circumstances to exist. I can therefore, make a very draught, and I prefmne a fstii faftory answer to this question also. I co pied the votes from the public journals.— 3, as to the partial publication of the votes, is no less lingular than the former; as the word refers to the omiflion of the name of Mr. Ross, left out by the care lefinefs of the printers. Now, as Mr. Rofs was one of those gentlemen who voted against putting a flop to the enlistments, as he is nniverfally regarded among the " pauci quos equus amavit Jupiter," methinks the allusion to this circumstance was rather auk ward. And the use which was made cf it in the debat* too, is, I think, little less remarkable. The South-Carolina patriot, as T am well-informed, accafed me of pur posely omitt ng the name of Mr. Rofs, with a view to render him odious to his condi ments, by giving currency to an idea that he was negligent of his duty, in being ab sent from the Senate at the palling of so important a question. Those who re member the numerous calumnies on this score, circulated by our pati iot's associates in political iniquity against this very gentle man, must needs wonder at his assurance. •' By what authority" I publiftied the votes under chfsifications, is a most impertinent, extraordinary and illegal interrogation, which not even the instruments of the tn quifition would have presumed to apply— The view I had in pnbliihing them thus, was most clearly to express my aftonilh ment at Federal gentlemen appearing as advocates for what appeared to me so pal pably a Democratic and a ruinous flip. This, 1 trust, was done decently, lam not to set up any judgment as the superior f.and ard of right—uor do I feel disposed to fay that thel'e are not wife and honorable men : " but here I am, to Ipe'ik what I do think," even in the very teeth of profciiption. To oui author's fourth question I reply that the remarks alluded to, such as they are, are mine, and very much at his service. I feel my vanity flattered by the imputation of these remarks to any other person, and the more efpccialiy as I am allured they were ; attributed to a gentleman not only high in office, nut pre-eminently diftinguiflied by literary and claflical attainments against whom, I am very angry to add, vengeance and lot <'t offitr Wai moll illiberally vowed therefor, by ceitain persons. Yes, I cen fefs, my vanity is highly flattered by this imputation, for though I have never aspired to a very high dignity In authorlhip, tho' I have never like our author, offered liba tions to the sacred Nine, at thole bubbling ft reams which issue from Aonia cr Pieria or Heliconia, though I have never lung the praises of Aliens, nor " plasted or corn or hay," yet still I am proui that any hafiy produflion of mine fliould be mistaken for work of a man of genius or science. The ?th queflion to have been propounded to me by these sage undecimi, being of a rnoft extraordinary and unprecedented na ture, I refer it to Come general remarks | which I propose to offer, on theft- extra- | ordinary proceedings. It has been the pra&ice in Great-Britain to furamons Primers befsre cither House of Parliament, on pa rticnlar grounds of offence ; charges, for instance. of venality and cor ruption, laid against them as a body. But I doubt very much whether the letter or the spirit of our Constitution will authorize any fnch proceeding even on the iame grounds- « The genius of our country required (and deed ftipwlated for) a far greaiter license of the Press than Britilh fubjetts can claim in theory. But while they enjoy all the prac tical benefit of the ttnrrftrained freedom ! the Press, it seems we are in a fair way to take our leave as every thing but the theory. The wretches who earn their subsistence by emitting their naufenus, lewd and filly flan- J der thro' the Aurora, are as despicable in my fight as they can be in that of any man. But I think there was a method of retrain ing them, far preferable to tliefe expedients. It is a copious fubiect, and demands more information and attention than I can bring to it. What a difference is discernible between Fhilofophers old and Philofophcrs new ! A member of cne of the Grecian feOs, defcrib. ing the charafteiiftics of a future scholar, makes what is called liberal curiosity a fa vorable presage i/f mental wcrth. Let this fort of fcurWity then, continues the ancient writer, be iibehali.t indulged, for it is not that vulgar and childifli curiosity, which in. cites th« idler to gn to the games, and to the horse course, and to Corinth for Lais and to Chios for Wine, but it is a curiosity, with out which man is an ignorant granger in the 4 world of science and information—But lie, Cty certain new Fhilofophers, dissenting, or wavering members ef a great political body, let us lliutour doors, and bar and bolt out men from our lobby. This curiosity is » dangerous thing. Your fiudiousand think ing men are aft to be curious. We wilh to degrade and choak such men. They do not awfwer ourpurpofe. AnacharfisClootz, a great Plulofopher, denounced men of ta. Lents, and wilhed to introduce a fyflem of general extermination in the schools. Let us imitate Anacharfis Clootz. Let us check curiosity, particularly Federal curiosity. It is too hawk-eyed It discerns our imperfec tions. It pries into every creek and comer of Democracy. It is a spy upon our camp. We will hoodwink this (harp sighted beinj. We will fend for a hlackfmith " with his hammer thus," and he ihall nail up our fold ing- doors. We want no modclt lifleners, no men of memory and remark ; we want no Gentltmen* here. No, fay the Connecti cut phalanx, this is illiberal, vexations, boy ifk. Away with such folly. Letusnotde ny our political cup to the stranger*. Te*« fay the iris coloured, fiudluatiiig, lukewarm,' I faint hearted, felfifh, pliant party we will, J for it will please the Democrats, and we live by pleasing, and voting many ways and and (hifting our ground, and ading an agreeable political medley. Sometimes out at sea, and sometimes close aleng (ho re. This is prudenct, this is moderation. Thi« conciliates all parties. This was the Vicar of Bray's scheme, and the Vicar of Briy was a very exccllsiit politician. Some have thought he was an Indian, cunning, True American Federalist. Let the door be {hut to gratify Democrats, and disappointed curi osity read " Knock and it fiiail not be opened. * Perhaps thcfe advocates for Exc'ufton call to mind the example, and adt in the fj-irit, of Dr. Caius in The Merry Wives of Windsor. The Do&or hearing a noise, enquires of Miftrefa Quickly 44 who is in de cloffet" ? ihe simple Dame replies only the )oung man, and he is very honest. The lufpicious Frenchman in a rage rt joins what has de bencji man to do there. Dere fhallno honrjl man come into my closet. Much grumbling is heard out of doors from gentlemen who cannot enter the poli tical ftraigh: gate, unless accompanied by a female. This appears to be hard upon old bachelors, ugly fellows and all the unger teel, unfafliionable and ungallant tribe. Bc caufe, it foroetimei happens that a cold mor tal, who i 3 net a lady's man, and never picked up a fan in his life, maywilhto htar political news, and go to learn debates, t|o" lie dotß not go to all aflignation ! The situ ation of this class of the inquiGtive is truly deplorable. No pretty woman will be seen in their company, and it has been recently fettled that no man can be a politician, with out the aid of the sex, and tint the co-ope ration of the Ladies is no less necessary in this cafe than in many others of a more ge neral and mysterious nature. QUERY. How is a curious politician, who happens to have ho female friendi to grope his way into the house of representatives. Is he at liberty to charter tfce apple woman at th« door, and would it be. deemed incorreft to hire a Lady from the flew*, who might serve as Portress on this eccaficn ?
