farther exertions being dilTeittinated in
the cause of their country, in forming
their Democratic Society, upon the
"'pure base of liberty and equality. If
otherwise, let our fellow-citizens, anxi
ous for so laudable an institution being
perfected, judge them according to their
merits, and if they prove unworthy of
being members of your society, present
them at the bar of your club, and make
them undergoyourordeal.—l am doubt
ful whether there are many who will bear
that examination you insinuate they will j
1 reverence the man, who, after he i
has fought well the battles of his coun- j
try, returns and a&sthe part of a good j
citizen ; but he is ever to be detested, j
who loses in peace the honor he has j
gained, in war; who connects himfelf
with a fa&ion, and ever tries to excite
alarm in the bread of his neighbor.
Before you come forward with such
difintercded proposals, Democrats, in- i
ftrudt the President of your inftltution
in your political scheme, and not let
yqur fellow-citizens, while listening to
your generous principles, be deafened
by the voice of your principal person
age, telling them they are not truths.
Foi who can believe you, when aflert
ing that your intention is not to form
an electioneering society, when yonr
President is fitting at the poll, telling
to all around him, " That if they do
hot succeed this year, their society will
increase, and on the next year, they
will get in their own creatures."
Does not this belie you ? And who
would suppose, when reading your
mild address, that one of yonr most
violent candidates for the late election,
who frequently averted that if it was
in his power he would go into the war
immediately, was the author ?—By the
writings of a person, as well as by the
countenance, you can readily diftinguilh
what passes in the mind ; and in your,
address is visibly delineated a violent
pafiion, but moderately bridled. With
these few remarks, I leave you ; with
wishes that every one on the lilt (which
I doubt not you will publifti) will prove
even to have exifled in '75.

p From a Correspondent.
t To bring justice home to every man's
, door is a favorite object with good men.
It has been told us, that the manufac
r ture of nails is carried on in the chim
[ j ney corner of almost every farmer in the
. | eastern slates; what a noble thing, in
_ -j like manner to scatter the manufacture
IJ of laws, in the Island of Jersey, it is
! well known, that the inhabitants of a
, ] village col left together, and men wo
p 1 men and children spend the evening knit
, ting Itockings. Our clubs are a great
improvement upon the law making art.
j All Embargo is fettled over a bowl of
j punch without loft of time or temper.
l ' Congress wrangles months away about
a tax of eight cents. A club or a rneet
( ing out of doors dccides the affair in a
trice. Thus it appears that a real im
provement is made in the workmaufhip
of laws. And what is worth money is
that it saves money. For what is cheap
( er than the resolutions of a club ? What
. can be more expeditioufly pafled thro'
the mill ? Another advantage is, that
| they can execute their own resolutions.
The wife men can halten from the State
r House yard or from the tavern where
they resolve, to the wharf where they
( execute. Congress may repeal an Em
. bargo. The people, that is to fay, the
collection at an evening meeting can
both re-ena£t and inforce it. Who so
, will understand treaties? They vote that
. Mr. Jay ought not to go. Who dares
, to gain-fay it ?—ls not this the sub
, (lance of power as well as the right and
t the name in the hands of the people of
. America; and who are the people of
" America, if two or three outlandish of

Extract of a letter, dated iS/h March,

to his friend in this city.
( _ " Our government under the sanc
tion of very large majorities in both
| houses of Parliament, seem determined
to prosecute the present ruinous war
p with France, in_conju<ffion with other
European powers ; and whilil it exists,
the difficulty of anticipating the future
I currency of your exports, daily encreaf
es ; and the fluctuating conduct of our
cabinet towards the United States of
America, renders the continuation of
commercial intercourse between you and
lis, very uncertain. The present situa

eventful—and thinking men look for

j We have just been informed by a
gentleman who left Montreal on the
1 29th lilt. That great preparations were
making under of defending
the Canadians from being plundered by
the Vermonters, which they have been
led to believe, from reports industrious
ly circulated, no doubt for the purpose
. of calling out the militia, and uniting
' the Canadiaus againlt the States. The
j forts are putting in the befl (tate of de
fence, and many boats are building,
one of 70 oars was launched last week,
alledged to be for carrying provisions.
No account of Col. Simcoe having ta
ken a new position was known vhen he
left that place. Ten thaufand troops,
were expected to arrive from Europe,
as provisions were so cheap, that soldiers
could lubfift much more comfortablv
than in England, and be ready for an
expedition at any moment. Lord Dor

NEW-YORK, June 16.
To Dr. JOSEPH PRIESTLEY.
The Address of the Republican Natives
of Great Britain and Ireland, resident
in the City ef New-York.
sI R, ~~"
WE, the republican natives of Great
Bntai" and Ireland, resident in the city
of New-York, embrace, with the high- ,
eft fatisfa&ion, the opportunity which 1
your arrival in this city presents, of <
bearing our testimony to your chr.rac- -
ter and virtues, and of exprefling our 1
joy that you come among us in circum- i
stances of such good health and spirits. ,
r )u C r \ bellCld with thc keened (
fenhbihty, the unparalleled perfections
which attended you in your native coun- i
try, and have sympathized with you t
i- under all their variety ahd extent* In
the firm hope, that you ai« now £am
pletely removed from the effects <•*' rve
ry species of intolerance, ve molt iin
cerely congratulate you.
After a fruitlefs oppofstUn to a cor
rupt and tyrannical government, many
ot us have, like you, fougit Freedom
s and Protection in the Unittd States of!
America ; but to this we hive all been
principally induced, from the full per
suasion, that a Republican teprefenta
tive Government, was not rierely bed
' adapted to promote human happiness,
* but thac it is the only rational system
worthy the wisdom of man to project,
1 or to which his reason fhoulu aflent.
Participating in the many blessings
which the Government of this country
is calculated to enfurc, we are happy in
p g'v'ng't this proof of our refpeftful at
tachment :—weare only grieved, that a
system of such beauty and excellence,
should be at all tamifhed by the exist
ence of Slavery in any form ; but as
1 friends to the Equal Rights of Man,
we mult be p«rmitted to fay, that we
wilh these rights extended to every hu
man being, bt his complexion what it
may. We, however, look forward with
pleasing anticipation to a yet more per
fect state of society ; and, from that
love of Liberty which forms so distin
guishing a trait in the American cha
radter, are taught to hope that this lalt
this worst disgrace to a free govern
ment, will finally and for ever be done
away.
While we look back on oar native
country with emotions of pit/ and in
dignation, at the outrages whiih huma
nity has sustained in the perfuns of the
virtuous Mutr and his patriotic afToci
ates ; and deeply lament the faal apathy
into which our countrymen hive fallen:
. We desire to be thankful to he Great
Author of our being, that re are in
America, and that it has plea'ed Him,
in his Wife Providence, to mke these
United States an asylum, notanly from
the immediate tyranny of tie British
government, but also from thoe impend
ing calami ties, which its incrjafing des
potism, and multiplied iniquties, must
infallibly bring down on a dduded and
opprefled people.
Accept, Sir, of our affedtimate and
belt wishes for a long contiiuance of
your health and happiness.
(Signed) PopE ' Chairman,
Wm. Allum, Secretary.
New-York, June 13, 1794.
To the Republican Natives of Great
Britain and Ireland, retdent in the
City of New-York.
Gentlemen,
I think myfelf peculiarlyhappy in
finding ir! this country so maiy persons
of sentiments similar to my own, forne
of whom have probably left Great Bri
tain or Ireland on the fame account, and
to be so cheerfully welcomel by them
on my arrival. You have aleady had
expeifance of the difference b:tWeen the
governments of the two courtries, and
I doubt not, have seen fuffici;nt reason
to give the decided preferenci that you
do that of this. There all liberty of
speech and of the press, as fir as poli
tics are concerned, is at an »nd, and,
the (pint of intolerance in natters of
religton isalmoft as high as in the times
ot the Stuarts. Here, having no coun
tenance from government, whatever may
remain of this spirit, from the igno
rance, andconfequent bigotry, of form
er times, it may be expected soon to die
away; and on all fubjedts whatever,
every man enjoys the invaluable liberty
ot speaking and writing whatever he
pleases.
The wisdom and happiness of Repub
lican governments, and the evils rcfult
mg from hereditary monarchical ones,
cannot appear in a flronger light to you
than they do to me. We need only
look to the present state of Europe,
and of America, to be fully fatisfied in
this refpeft. The foimer will easily re
form themselves, and among other im
provements, I am persuaded, will be
the removal of that vestige of servitude
to which you alluded, as it so ill accords
with the spirit of equal liberty, from
which the reft of the system has flowed, '
whereas no material reformation of the <
many ab«fes to which the latter are sub- •
J 'lt ,s . , t0 be f «red, can be made '
without violence and confuiion.
congratulate you, gentlemen, as
you do me, on our arrival in a country
>n which men who wi(h well to their
fellow-citizens, and llfe their best en _
deavors to render them the mot import
ant services, men who are an honor to '
human nature, and to any country, are -
111 no danger of being treated like the
worst of felons, as is now the cafe in 2
Great Britain. i
. Ha PPy<h°uld I think myfelf in join- I
ing with you in welcoming to this coun
try every friend of liberty who is ex-
1 posed so danger from the tyranny'of thi
- . British government, and who, while
- they continue under it, mult expedl to
- (hare in thole calamities, which its pre
lent infatuation must, fooaer or later,
- bring upon it r But let us all join in
' fupplicat ions to the great parent of the
1 universe, that, for the fake of the ma
ny cxt client characters 111 our native
country, its government may oe re
formed, and the judgments impending
over it prevented.
