To fouie perfoiu this .might have proved a j valuable acquisition, but as I enjoy good j health without .the aid as emetics or e»- j thartics, I tyas upon point of.aban- j dotting the packet once more "to its fake, When my attention was drawn tt> tfye outer coverirtgy-which appeared to cmi-.. tain a fragment t)f Come vevfei iit niairi (ciipt.

That there is cllfo good reason to iuji pofe, that the production is-'the off fpring of a member of one of the felf created and virtual representative Tocl'e ties in the United States, may be in ferred from the verses theralelves, of which the following is an exact copy: As old Satan was one day lamenting The great want of a deputy defril,.

All the writers who have hitherto at tempted an analysis of the Democratic: Societies, have run into one common error with rel'peft to their origin. For although it is admitted that the terms of Jacobin and Democratic ate of modern date, yet it is no less true, (hat there were similar inftitutioflsrn former-rrurcs. The club held in the cave of -AduHanv, may be justly considered as the moll fa mous upon record and; is thus described by a malterly penman. " And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that ivas discontented, gathered thcmfelves unto him; and he became a captain over them " I Sam. xxii chap. ver. ii. That two societies exifling at periods so widely distant from each other, should have men of the fame name for their firft. Presidents and that there should altd be a (hiking resemblance in other refpefts, are circumstances the more re markable,becaufe fortuitous—but, there is one fact however, accompanying the history of both societies, which is by no means wonderful— It is, that when the two Davids had reached the goal to which their ambition pointed, they a bandofled the filly aftcs upon whose back they won the race, to the frater nal hug of other Jockies. For the Gazette of the Unit lit States. Mr. Fenno, Having read in your Gazette of the o ther day the remarks of a correspon dent on a pamphlet lately publilhed, and entitled, ObferVatwns on the Emi gration of Dr. Joseph Priejlley Wft I was led to read the work myfelf, and your correfpondtnt mutt excuse me if I differ very widely from him in my opinion of it. In the firft place, I cannot fee the' inhumanity of giving a fair account of the Birtrtinghato riots, of the property -the Doctor loft ; nor can 1 fee, that speaking of the horrors of the French Revolution in terms of the strongest dis approbation, or the ridiculing of the pretended admirers of that farce, (or perhaps more properly, tragedy) of Liberty, which has been so long exhi biting in France, renders the produfti -011 at all " unfit for the meridian of the United States." The object of the pamphlet is to place irt a fair light the motives of the Doc tor's emigration, and those of the dif ferent societies who addressed him. on his arrival at New-York I think the au thor has fully proved, that perfanally, the Doctor had ..o right to eAmplaia of his coiintirv ; and confequenlly that thi pietenati Vrafoq of his emigration ua mr-refy pretrnded. It is the duty of 'e very good fcitizen to expose the falfe 6f those who endeavor to iittpofe up-.iri the public. With refpecl ko the Democratic and some Other popular Societies, it is curi ous to hear them condole with a foreign, et : who iiis, as they pretend, fi>ffer-. Ed frottv z lawless affembiy of the peo ple; while their Own foundation (eenis to have bf/e'ri intended foi nothing more than the encouragement ps such affem bli<-$. ; ft! fhoi*L. Sir, I am peifu'aded that this 'jjatriplilet, is exceedingly Jit for the meridian of the United States, and par -1 ticularly at this moment-, when proceed i ings, not much unlike .those which the Doftyr pretends were the cause of his emigration have taken place in our own country. We (hall uo\V be furnifhed with .an opportunity sf estimating the excellence of our constitution and of that of Great Britain, by comparing the rile, progrifs, and end, of the riots in' our Welit:rn Territory and thpfe at Bir mingham. I am, Sir, Your mod humble servant and CORRESPONDENT. From Aloiitefquieu's spirit of Laws. Of the corruption of the principle of Democracy. ' •! THE principle of democracy is cor rupted not ,only when the spirit .of equa lity i» extinct, but likewise when they fill! into a spirit of extreme equality, a:id when every citizen/wants to be ip on a level with those he has chofer to command hiitij Then the people i(ca pable of bearing the very power tley have entruffed, to do every thug of themfelvjcs, to debate for the -Se nate, to execute for the Jriagiftrate, ind to (trip the judges. When this is the cafe, virtue cantio longer subsist in the Republic. The people want to cxercife the functions of the magiltrates who cease to be revered. The deliberations of the senate are flighted ;' all refpeft is. then laid aside for the lenatois, and (.onfequently for old age, If thure is no more refpeft for old age, ihtre will be none soon for parents ; deference so hulbands will be likewise throwa off, ind hibmifliuti to mailers. This liccntioufnefe will foori taint mind.;' and the tediaint of command be as fatiguing as that ps p bediertee- Wives, children,, (laves, will (hake off all fubje£tion. No longer will there be any ftich thing as manners, onlei, or vlnuc. . —— * We find in Xcnophon's banquet a Ve ry jively description of a republic, in which the people abused their equality/ Each guest £ »4 in his turn the reafdii why he is latisfied, " I am content wjth myfelf," fays Chamides, " because "of my poverty. When I wasiich I " was obliged to pay my cpurt to iri " fomtera, knowing I was iriore • " tube hurt by them, than capable ps " doing them harm. The republic cpn " ftantly demanded some new fuiti of " me ; and I could not decline paying. " Since 1 am grown poor, I have «« quired authority, no body • threatens " me, I rather threaten others. I can "go or (lay where I please. The. rich " already rife from their feats, and give "me the way. 1 am a king, 1 was " before a slave: I paid taxes to the re " public, now it maintains me: I am " no longer afraid of losing : I hope to " acquire." The people fall into this misfortune, when those in whom they confide, defi roiis of.concealing their own corruption, endeavour to corrupt. To prevent them from feeing their .own ambition, they speak to them ortly of;.their grandeur, to conceal their own avaiice, they in cessantly flatter theirs. The corruption will increase among the corrupters, and likewise among those who are already corrupted, when the people will distribute the public money among themselves, and having added the administration of affairs to their in dolence, they will be for adding to their poverty the amusements of luxury. But with their indolence and luxury, nothing but the public trcafure will be able to fatisfy their demands. We mutt npt be furprjfed to fee their fuffi ages given for money. It is im poflible to give a great deal to ihe peo ple without Squeezing much more out of them : but to compass this, the state rtitfft be subverted. The greater the advantages they seem to derive from their liberty, the nearer they draw to the critical moment of losing it. Petty tyrants arise who have all the voices of a Angle tyrant. The fmali remains of liberty soon become unlupportablc ; a firtgle tyrant starts up, ■and the people lose all even the advanta ges of their corruption. Dcmoeracy hath therefore two excef lej to avoid, the spirit of inequality which leads to arilloci'acy or mouachy; ind the spirit of extreme equality which leads to despotic -power, Is thelatter is completed by conquest. True it is, that those who corrupted the Greek republick did not become tyrants. This was because they had a greater passion for eloquence than for the military art. Betides, there reigned an implacable hatred in the hearts the Greeks againil those wh'> ftibverted a republican govei nttieut; aid for this reason anarchy degenerated into anni hilation, instead of being chariged into 'tyranny. ;,; But Syracyfe, which was (ituated in the midst of a great number of. petty (kites whose government had been changed from oligarchy to tyranny.'* Syracute which had a Senate J scarce ever mentioned in history, wasexpofed to inch mi(eries as arc the consequences of a mote than ordinary corruption.
