PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH S.
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 ?
