' Sir, AL THO there are refpedtable men in the societies that have addressed you, j l more efpicially in the Tammany Society, yet a great proportion of the citizens of New-York, who are the most refpeftable s for property, talents and the enjoyment £ of public and private confidence, belong to neither societies, and probably will e not make you any public addresses ; tho' , as individuals they will doubtless treat ' you with the utmost refpedt and ■_ hospitality. Their reasons you mutt e certainly approve. They suppose, how ever, friendly and refpedtable such ad dresses may appear atfiril view, that they place a stranger in adifagreeable dilemma 1 as it is hardly possible for e man to word ' his answers in such a manner, as to ef caps the cenfureofpartiesand individuals. They consider as indelicate to expose a " stranger to the necessity of committing himfelf, on his firft: landing on a foreign shore. Parties in America run high ; and in order to attach a stranger of a re -1 fpeftable character to their cause, they * will even make themselves officioufly at " tentive to him on his firft arrival. Fo reigners are frequently drawn into par " ties in this manner, to the prejudice ot their own interefh Be allured, fir, a great part of the most refpedtable citi -1 ' zen» of America disdain any such at- J " : tempts ; and they disdain them in pro -1 ; portion to the officioufnefs of little pri vate clubs, whose origin and views are ; iufpected by nine tenths of the citizens of America. The addresses you will re -1 ceive, fir, will not therefore be the cre teria by which to judge of the friendfhip of Americans We all make you cordi- 1 ally welcome to this country, and many, 1 e who make you no public addresses and ' wish to attach you to no party, will pio bably be found among your most steady friends. 1 A Citizen of New York. 1 \ V ' ' [ - , , BOSTON, June ir. circuit" court. « ) On Monday last, the Hon.
