WEDNESD AY, OCTOBEII JJ. IJ<J 2 .
Pronl the si fft of* those letter.?,; da ted u Paris
the 2X&December, it appears that Mr.
Jefferfon among other topics of objcjftioi), " clif
liked, and greatly difiiked tlte abandonment of*
the principle of rotation in office, a:;c] ir.oft p ar
ticular fy in the cafe of Ptefulent from which
tlte inference is clfcar, tliat he WOtild hc(ve \Hoi
ed the principle df rotation to have extended
not only <feo ttoe -executive, but to othpi
branches of the go.vernment, to the. Senate at
! Jeafl, as is explained bv a fiiufequent letter. —
This objection goes to the ftrufrure ai' the go
veVnnient in a very important Article ; and
while It juftifies' the afl'ertion, that Mr. Jeffer
forf was-oppofed to the conflfifcution, in fomco/ ih
mojl impoitant features, it is a fpeciipen,of the vi
iionarv system of politics of its author. Had
it been confined to the office of chiet
it might haVe pretended not only to plaufibiiitv,
l?Ut t6 a degree of weight and refpo(sHbilitv.
Bv being extended to other branches of the. go
vernment, it aflumes a different characlef, and
evinces amine} prone to proje.ifh, which are in
compatible with the principles of liable and fyi
tematic government; difp6*e"d to multiply the
outworks, and leave the citadel weak and tot
tering.
But; the faCh not the meri/<bf the •objaftioh is

♦Ed; the!
adoption of the conft'.tution in its ptfiTtltive,
twrm.' 1 I
Of this a person acquainted with the manner
of that gentleman, and with the force of terms,
will find fufficietft evidence in the following
pafTagt: 1 ' Ido not pretend to decide, What would
be the heft method ot procuring the establish
ment tfft'ie manifold things ill t.it confti-
Uition, and o igelling r:d oj the bid: whether by
adopting it tti hopes of future amendment ; or
after it has been duly weighed and canvafTed by
the people; after'feeing the parts they generally
dislike, and those they generally approve to fay
to tlMm'i " we fee now what von tvifli—■'end
together your deputies again—-let them frame
a couftitution for you ; omitting what you have
condemned, and eltabliihing the poweis > on ap
prove-"
Ms. lefirfou did not e-tplicifly decide which
two mcries waslieft ; and whilew is dear,
notdeteimined irr favor of an adoption
without previous amendments, it isjioWiflicult
to iuier front the teran of expression employed,
that he preferred the last of tpe tco modes ; a
recurrence to a lecond convention. The faint
nefs of the phrase " in hopes of future amend
ment," and thtf einpbaticat method of difpjav
ing the alternative are fuliicient indications of
the preference he entertained.
The pains which he takes in the fame letter
tec remove the alarm naturally inspired by the
iufurrcXion which had happened in Malfachn-

Prom the fluctuations of fentimen't v/hlchap

5 natural to infer, that had the whole of Mr.
[efteriem's ,correspondence 011 the fubjeft been
iiven to the public, much greater diverfi'ties
vould Have'been ditcovered.
In the preface to the puWitatiori of the le't
ers under coitfideration, the question is put,
' wherein was the merit or offence of a favor
ible or unfavorably opinion of the
md to whom rendered V
It is a futticient answer to this qu'erfion, as it
■elates to the pnefent difenflion, to lav, that the
ntimation which was given ot Mr. Jenerfon's
lillike ps the conft'.tutioi., in the firft instance,
vas evidently not intended as the imputation
if a pofjtive crime, but ;ts one link ii> a chain
.f evidence tending to prove th,at the National
isifetteWa? cttAdtlftcd ilhtitr His ailfpites, and
n confoiVnity to hi* view>s.
After lliewing that the Editor of that paper
vas in his pay, and had been taken into it foine
hort time previous to the commencement of
he publication, the inference rcfnlting from
:he circumstance, of that paper being a politi
:al engine, in his hands, is entleavbred to be
.orroborated, ffrlt by the ftfggtfttohthai Mr.
lefferfon had originally serious objections to the
•oaftitutio!); fecpmUyJjy the further fuggeftio.i,
:hat he h?s difapprpved cf mcft of the impor
:ai?t measures adopted in the course of the ad
nWiftration of the government.
In this light, and with this special reference
vera those iuggpftions made ; and certainly, a:
ar as tliev are founded jii fact, th<; argument
:hev afford i; fair and i'o; ciblc. A tonefpnn
\: ."cv of the principle-, and opinion". of Mr. Jef
'ji'oii, v it'a :>< complexion of ,1 paper, the
■ortdurtor of « Vch is in the rc«.i;l;i,- pay of his
lepartmcht, is surely a ftxong continuation of
he conclulion —that tire pap.ji is conduced un
ler his influence, and ag'Cua':>!y to his views.
Nothing but a known opposition of sentiment
on tba part of Mr. Jefferfoh to th'e dotfrines in-
culcated in the National Gazette, could obvi
ate the inference deducible from his afcertain
9«l#nd Vliny BHtraordinarY qonneftion with it.
A coin«idence of £ntii«ents is a dirert and ir
refiltaWe ponflrmation of that inference.,

A flill less plausible effort kn made tr
vindicate tjhe iNfttiopfll Gazette from ibe thar£c
of being a paper deypted 4;o the calumhiatiiiy
and depreciating the government of the Unitcc
States. No original performance in defence ol
she gfli-eVnttient, Vjr'ffs mfe&ftires,'Ms) ft is £a ; .d
been refilled bv the Editor of that paper. A
few publications of that tendency have appear
ed in it ; principally, if not wholly iirice the
public dcfellion of the initiation of its con
ductor.
What''a wretched apology ! Eccaufetlic par
tiality ha-? not been fa-daring and unprecedent
ed, as to extend to a refufal of original pub
lications in jlefenee of the government, a papei
which indufti ioufiy copies every inflammatory
Publication against it that appears in any part ci
the United States, and carefully avoid; every
infwer wh ; ch is giyert to (hem, even when fpe
rially handed to t!>e Editor for the purpose, i
jot to be accounted a malicious and pernicious
mgine of detraction and calumny towards the
rovernment ! ! !
But happily here no proof nor argument is ne
relTary. The crije chat after and tendency o!
:he paper may be left to the evidence of even
•eader's senses and feeling l ;. Aiid Ariftides, a<
jften as he looks over that paper, must blush, ii
15 can blpQi, at the afTcrtion, u that it lias
\boundcJ (\\\ce jts commencement with publica
tions'in favor of the meaiuies of the govcrn
nenf."
Deception, however artfuHV veiled, fcldbm
'ails to betray Tome unsound part. Ariftides
mures us, that JVlf.Jefibrfon u has advajly refufed
n any ioftancc to mark a single paragraph,
ivhich appeared in the foreign prints for repub
icatiOn in the' National Gazette. On what
ground was futh an application to Mr. Jefferfon
nade, if he was not considered ai the patron of
:he paper ? What printer wouidmake a similar
Spiication to the head of any other depart
nent ? I verily believe none.—And I consider
:he circumstance fated as a confirmation of ih<
-elation of Patron and Cltf.nt, between th<
of State, and the Editor of tV.e Na
tional Gazette.
The refufal, if it happened, is one of those
little under plots, with which the rr.cft in
triguing rp/Wi in the United States is at no loss,
to keep out ol light the main dtfign of tie
drama. • CATULLUS.
