DESULTORY REMARKS
On Democratic Clubs.
Writers in favor of " Democratic
Societies," advance an argument in sup
port of such atFociations, which has
been so Frequently brought forward,
that altlio' Ipecious only, it appears to
be conlidered as their principal depen
dance. The argument alliKied to, is
that drawn from the Conllitutions of
the States and the United. States, viz.
" That the citizens have a right in a peace
abli manner to aJTcmble together for their
common good, and to apply to those vejlcd
■with the poivers of government for re-
I dress of grievances, or other proper pur
-5 poses, by petition, address, or remon
strances," &e.—God forbid that this
right should ever be infringed—but
does any man of the least reflection or
common iinderftanding believe, that
this right ever pxtended so far, as to'
authorize bodies of men, detachedfrom
the body of the people, organized, of
ficered, and Iworn—and aflembling in
noiturnal meetings, to a flume to them
selves the voice of the people—-to dic
tate, advise, condemn or applaud the
measures of the government —
determined on by the representatives of
the people—measures publicly propo
sed, publicly debated, canvalFed and de
cided on ?—Docs this right convey a
power to form a chain of Societies thro'
the Union, whose bulinefs it is to re
probate measures which the great hody
of the people not only acquiesce in—
but to which they accord the most una
nimous approbation the history of ci
vilization ever exhibited ?
Is it believed by any man in the least
acquainted with human nature, and the
principles of Society, that the- people
ever conceived of forming or agreeing
to a constitution that (lionld recognize
two organized bodies of men, that
should at one and the fame time pre
tend to be the representatives of the
people—(for if the democratic socie
ties Jo not represent the people, they I
represent notJungYj—two diflinft, inde
pendent bodies, that (hoilld be at vari
ance with each other—their proceed
ings being in perpetual collision.
Gail it be believed that the Constitu
tion countenances, much less acknow
ledges, that any set of men, few or
many (hall set themselves up, as umpires
between the people and the gevernment
the people themfelvee have eftablilhed ?
No, it is nothing can be
more certain than this, that two such
bodies mufl contend—hence we perceive ■
that the lpirit of jealousy and rivalfhip .
is co-existent witli the existence of these ji
societies.
Their profeffed design is to watch the
government, not like the faithful guar- i
dians who feel interfiled in the prefer- i
vation of the people'slavvs and privile- 1
ges; but, like centinels in an enemy's .
country, who are in a Hate of perpe- i
petual fear, anxiety, and distrust. i
Hence we find that the whole bufi- i
ness of these clubs appears to be to ex- .
cite alarms, sow jealousies and fufpi- ]
cions—find fault—to condemn every 1
thing that is done by the majority of
the people's representatives— to praise i
every attempt of the minority, to speak i
evil of every man in office,- and ap
plaud those as the patriots of the coun
try, who revile with tjie bitter?ll lan
guage tKe friends of the Constitution,
and to approve of nothing that is dope:
For jrtoof of this, the appeal is made
to the publications of these clubs wher
ever dispersed.
Such being the state of things, let
every man fay, whether the mode a
dopted, is the one designated by the
Constitution, to seek redress of grie
vances.
Let us for a moment advert to the
book of experience, and observe the
invariable consequences »f these party
associations.' Founded on an immuta
ble principle, when ence efta'olilhed,
unlike the delegations of the people,
the persons composing these Focieties, do
not at stated periods revert to the mass
of the 'people from which they detach
themselves ; hence by necessity they be
come a perpetually ■ existing body,—
which by natural accumulation, and
irresponsibility, acquire a degree of
Itrength, over proportioned to that,
enjoyed by .ten times the fame number
of citizens in their individual capaci
ties.
No man or body of men ever poF-
Fefl'ed power without a with to exercise
it. The profeffed object of these asso
ciations is, that the individuals that
compose them may a£t with-more ener
gy. and effect," and thereby encreafe the
momentum of their influence.
This idea is justly conceived, and let
any one reflect for a moment what tnuft
in the issue result from a combination
of all the difaffedtcd persons in a Coun
try, in. pnrfuit of' a favorite objcCt—
that combination continually strength
ening by additions to its numbers, and
a perpetual correspondence, and echo
ing and re-echoing its procedings from
every particular branch of the confede
racy.
A crisis must impend—unless the
only alternative that presents, is adopt
ed, and that is, todiicountenance these
societies by total neglcft—the good
sense of the people is a (hield which is
fufficient if its dictates are attended to,
to ward off the blow. These societies
are not yet fufficieutly ftrpng to affunae
the powers of government openly—
some attempt's have however been made
to influence and controul.
The model 011 which the jacobin
clubs in America, (now confeffed open
ly, to be such) is conitantly exhibited
to our view. This model will be imita
ted in all countries whetever it is intro
duced.
There is no possible. fixed form of
government that can exist for a moment,
where the dictum of these societies is
paramount.
The government of France has been
radically chariged four times by the mo
del . f the Jacobin lociety—for " whom
they will, they kill, and whom they
will, they keep alive.
* Nothing can more strongly evince the
total extinction of freedom than for a
people to submit to the government of
men, whom they know not by their
fuffrages, while the men they have free
ly eleftcd, are made the pafiiye inflru
ments of those whom the people know
not.
These clubs may answer excellent
purposes in destroying a bad govern
ment—in America, similar inftit,-utioiis
co-operating with other measures bro't
about the revolution—let it be remem
bered however, that it was several years
after the peace, before such societies .
could be dissolved—they parted with
theiT power and authority with extreme
relu&ance—many of the most distin
guished members of the committees of
fafety and correspondence, were the
most inveterate dppofers to the adopti.
on of the new constitution—they were
enemies to a fettled Hate of things—they
-were enemies to' the constitution ; are,
now enemies to it, and a great propor
tion of the members of the. jacobin
clubs is formed of fudi characters. Af
ter a series of fuffeiing,, arising from
that state of disorganization, by which
such institutions exist, the good sense of
the people prevailed ; and in 1787 they
eftablilhed a constitution that they might
know by whom, and upon what princi
ples, they were, governed—all political
committees and aft'ociations like a fog
disappeared before the light of reason
liberty and laws. If our government '
is to be overturned, these societies are
the best instruments to effeCt the vork,
they can answer no other purpose—and
the enemies of the constitution of 0111"
country in their inftitutiun, have atchicv
cd the most difficult part of their busi
ness. That intelligence and good sense
of the public mind, which gave us a
government are the only source of hope
left that the machinations of the dilafec
ted will uot lucceed.
In noticing the doings of the Jacobin
societies, it has been observed " they
may be more or less founded in wisdom
■ or in ignorance and prejudice." Cm
■ any one point out a fmgle concession of
■ this nature made by those clubs, eithtr
, refpefting their own writings or pr«-
ceedings, or the doings of the goverc
: ment; No—this is not the language cf
■ power, wherever deposited, or a [fumed
The temper of mind that ftould ?nduce
: fiich candor' would mar the object and
• defigus of all such institutions. It ig
: true " the people of this country are
■ enlightened enough to .judge" of every
propofit ion fairly submitted to their cor.
: fideration ; bi.t will it answer thepurpo
: fes of these societies to appeal to the
■ judgement and sober feufe of the peo
■ pie J Will these societies bind tliem
, selves never to act as focieties,or in their
, writings never to address the paf
i fious and prejudices of the people ? A
i little reflection will fervc to dilcover the
i difference between an open and manly
address to the people, when publicly as
■ fembled, or the writings of an individu-
I al, and the addresses of an aflbciated
: band accountable to nobody, and where
, all responsibility is deftroyedbythe num
■ bers,concerned in the business.
A late writer like many of his prede
cessors in in the fame, sentiments, repro
• bates the idea, which he fays, has been
advanced " that opposition to the mea
sures of the government, is opposition
to the government itfelf.;" this is moll
■ certainly true as a genera principle ; for
a government without measures, is no
government ; it is a non-entity. That
the bad, or unconstitutional measures of
a governmertt may be opposed is how
ever a truth that admits of some qualifi
cation. It is a trite, but true
that all men are liable to error. Bodies
yea whole communities, as well as indi
viduals. These societies it is hinted,are
founded on this petfuafion, but it re
quires time and great deliberation to de
cide whether a measure of government
is good or bad ; reason and experience
Ihould determine the point. When a
measure is found to be bad, reason i»
necessary to determine the mode of get
ing rid of itan overt aft of opposition
in the firft instance is rendered unneces
sary by our constitution. Whenever
the necefiity exists the constitution is
gone ; for this neceflity is to be deter
mined on by the whole body of the peo
ple : And here, it is difficult to discern
the lionefty which concedes that the peo
ple are enlightened, while at the fame
time it is necessary that such societies
Ihould be erected, with ajfumed powers,'
to direst and enlighten them. J,f the
people a e enlightened, will they not
feel dnd und;rftand, when they are op
pressed, and when their rights are invad
ed ? Wiil they not apply the only reme
dy, ftiort of a revolution, that! of elec
ting men who (hall repeal had,and enact
gtod laws ? If they will not; to what
purpose are they enlightened, and capa
citated tojudge?
If an aft of Government be opposed
because it is judged bad or unconstituti
onal, by a body of men i none part of
the union, while it is cordially submit
ted to in another-—or the fame principle
a good law maybe opposed, and a bad
one supported. In this cafe can the ap
peal be fatd to be to the sober sense of
the people ? And what becomes of the
doctrine which none but knaves will de
ny " that all power is inherent in the
people—that all free government is found
ed on their authority, and instituted for
their peace, fafety and happiness"

ARTS and SCIENCES.
A certain ' inventive genius, having
traniplanted himfelf from a foreign coun
try into thjs city, and-affumed the title
of indigo-planter, has of late wonder
fully facilitated the laborious process of
railing indigo, and vastly increased the
Jlaple commodity of this state.
His plantation is said to be situate
somewhere in Broad-street; and, in ft cad
of many a dirty acre, it con lifts of a
few yards of land only. No eJtpenfive
gang gf field negroes is ie,quilite to cul
tivate or work it ; and in lieu of one
crop a year, it is capable of pioducing
as many crops as there are days. What
an inexhaustible mine of wealth is here
discovered !
This age of penetration and liberality
| will not, it is presumable, fuffer fuper
| natural efforts of genius to pass unno
ticed, or the creators and improvers of
arts and science to perifti without re
ward. Indeed the constitution of these
ilates encourages men of getiins to step
boldly forward, and claim the patron
age of Congress, which is thereby em
powered " to promote the priigrel. of
science and ufeful arts, by securing f<*
limited times to authors and inventors,
the exclusive right to their reipedivf
writings and diicoveries."
This new inveßted indigo, created by"
man out of nothing ps it were, and dai
y offered for sale about the city, may
