principal inducement te undertake it. When
, it is confidrred that this populous and fl on -

imtny ef our youth ave obliged to resort to
other Stvtts, to receive even a Grammar-
School Education, the Seminary now pro

A&uated by theft coiilideratians, many
gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Liter

warmth,, the present undertaking, and ex
cited the mod flattering expectations of its
fucrrfs.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and
t prnmifed aid of liberal m#*n, no less than by
a firm .perfnafion that well-regulated Aca

it will be our earned endeavor so to eon

I 'ftitute the didinguillied ornani»nts of the

The building-, engaged for this Academy,
■though affording exc«llent accommodation,

To Mr. Ibumas Cooper.
The Amiktgans feel -themselves vafily
oWiged to Mr. Cooper for having t.ikeu the
>ains to come all the way *crofs the Atlan
tic to teach them, poor, ignorant-and Am
ple as they are, how to govern themselves,
nd to take care of their liberties, threaten
ed with absolute annilHation by the rulers of
their own choice. As they deem themselves
however, pafl the age of minority, and able
to manage their own affairs, without the
Kid of Eiirupeun guardians, they would in
torm Mr. Cooper that the iittfrt'erehce of
officious foreigners in their concerns-, is not
lo highly plrafing to them as he seems to im
agine ; and that when this interference is.
attended with insult, they are not so tame
as to fliffe all resentment. They beg leave
to hint to Mr. Cooper that his room is more
agreeable than Jiis company ; and they
doubt not, if he will ttke hinifelf off, 19
his own country, his sovereign will reward
Ivim with a (t-tion among the heroes of Bo
tany Ba/, high, coftfpicucus and permanent
as bis merits del'erve.
Ml. FENNO,
Governor Mc. lCean in the prnlecution
of his new fancied revoluiio «ry fyfteni.has
thought it expedient to Supercede Daniel
Stroud. Efq late Prothouoiary, See. cf
Northaropto; County, by the appointment
of Henry Spethig, Efq late Sheriff.
Upon what principle this arbitrary and
very extraordinary exercifc of his Excellen
cy's official power was predicated, is with
many people a fubjtif of douLn and con
jecture" It cannot be pretended,.that Mr
Spcring is in any poflible res; e£l, as well
qualified to execute the duties of those ap
pointments as Mr. Stroud.
Has then the integrity of Mr. Spering's
official condu& hitherto (hone so conspicu
ously as to entitle him to greaier confidence
than the other ? Have the ferviceaef Mi
Sefr ing , and his Ancestors, during the
revolutionary con (lift beenoffo mer torio'us
a nature as to require that his talenU, such
as «hey are, should be "b'ought fwm re
tirement into the public employment ?" Are
the political principles of this man marked
with such a degree as decision, at to war
rant a cosclufiou that the republican inter
efi would be promoted by his promotio.i ?
Did the genera! voice of the refpettablc
part of the coiiu y, render the meafi're in
dispensable"? Or did the biased republican
principle of rotatioti in office, require that
Mr. Stroud (Hould be removed at the end
of Sxteen month? >
Sir, no man acquainted with the circuro
llaqces, who values Sis reputation, will be
hardy enough to answer in the afß: mative,
to any of the.foregoing' injterrogatories
In truth, the motives b? which his Exctl
ltncy has been i, flJer.ce'd* in this instance,
are uch (tofp-ak temperately) as are per
feaiy incot'np'iSijii vviih that dignity of con
duit which to dilt.nguffh the Chief
Magiftratc—and although it may be'per
haps impoflible to tarnilh the ration
of thin great firjl fei »ant of the forereigrt
people ; it is certainly proper to develope
>he contemptible policy by which, on this
occalioa he has bein afihiiited.
Prevjotf<? to the iaft election, tl>e Repub
Ifcans of Northampton (as they call them*
selves) or more correfiliy fpeakirg, the
irie.pdi ' f M'Kcan were divided into two
parties.. which were refpe'lively dtfignated

ly two thirds of his Exctl':ncy'> partiza-s
in that county, an ! with an intimate know

and Mr. Spering, they were Mr. Stroud's
active and decided friends. Of the fincenty
