MR. FENNO,
' I TORE are some ftri&ures in the Connec
ticut Journal 01 the rich instant, 011 the
fubjeft of the conteftcd eiedtion in the State of
New-York, in which.the writer fays, that votes
in favor ot Mr. Jay were rejected by the can
vassing committee,. 44 because the name was
not orthographically written, and according to
tne latest improvementsv/hile at the fame
time this very committee admitted 44 fun dry
votes which came up under exactly parallel cir
cuniftances with tho e proscribed." The votes
of the rejejffced counties, the writer further fays,
he is informed, were left till the scrutiny had
proceeded lo far as to evince, that the election
would be loiT: to them if the whole were ad
mitted. Tncn were questions made which
would probably have never been moved, had an
evident majority appeared in their favor.—
1 hose that run may read" and " zvayjaring men,
though fools, flial! not err therein
How differently men pretend to Jihink. An ar
ticle in tne National Gazette of Saturdav last,
denominated an "extract of a letter from 'New-
York," in reference to this bufmefs, fays, 44 the
present cafe [that is the agitation which the ci
tizens of New-York are thrown into by the de

0 erved in court , where the pleader who
makes the moll noise, has generally the worst
1 e o tie question. It is somewhat extraor
dinary to fee men, who were avowedly hostile
to trie American Revolution in the dark days
•f a ve^ lt: y> now afTwming the garb of patriot

vernment ; men who but the other day were
"TO P arc^on their country for inimical

ve ™roent b . v committees through the State."
he above remarks from the National Gazette,

enterprize, genius, learning, ignorance, folly,
frivolity, tyranny, ilavery, freedom and what
not.
An universal eftervefcence is apparent —
kingdoms, Hates, and empires are convulsed—
the struggles of reason, right, and liberty have
produced the fermentation—the faeces of des
potism, fuperflition and prejudice will be pur
ged awar, and the pure waters of life, trans
parent and will remain : these
will be imbibed in copious draughts by an en
lightened race of men, who have for ages been
drinking the-inervating and intoxicating potions
prescribed for them by the emifiaries of dark

favorable to the rights oi man,
For there can be no doubt that the French will
zealously defend their country, and the revolution

bring the people, now under the dominion of pre
jadice and tyranny, in more immediate conlaft.
and make them more fully acquainted with, thof

is certain that in many places where the infor
