ATTICUS TO TULLY.
SIR,
YOU have again made an appeal to
the feelings of the people of the ,Uni
ted States, not to inform but to seduce
them ; not with the candor of a repub
lican, but with the infidioufnefs of a
monocrat; net with the manly aigu
ment of a mind conscious of its own
rectitude and the honesty of its cause
but with all the art and intricacy of a
iophifti Your present attempts will be
like all your former ones, for " Ca
tullus" with all his labour,
his address and his misrepresentations
was not able to fully the character of a
Jtjfirfon; neither was " Pacificus,"
with all his subtle attempts to prostitute
the honor, honesty, gratitude and vir
tue of the American character able to
compass his object : neither will "Tully"
the Cameleon Tully, wMi all his dex
terity and many headed essays, persuade
the freemen of America, that an op
polition to excise fyftcms is an oppcll
tion to the conftitutiun, any more than
agjoppofition to him or his measures is
hostility to virtue and republicanism.
The attempt to persuade the people
that the Constitution is in danger, that
anti-federalifm is rearing its crest, is too
stale to pass at this time of day ; there
was a time when it had its effed and
you profited by it; but that moment
is palt, at prelent, endeavour to prove
yourfelf immaculate as to impol'e so
trite an artifice upon an enlightened
public. If the constitution is in dan
ger it is not from the people, but from
ihofe in authority under them, who
seem to conlider it as a piece of wax
fitted to receive any form or impreffiqn
which they think proper to give it.
The people of the United States
need not the aid of " Tully's mind to
convince them that order is preferable
to anarchy ; they need not his logic to
prove to them, that a fettled state of
things is infinitely more desirable than
confufion ; neither do they require his
eloquence to persuade them, that the
constitution and laws of a free people
are their offspring, and that they ought
to suppress them.—Truths so palpable
require no adventitious aid ; but the in
sidious attempt to excite bitterness in
the minds of the citizens against each
others blood, to treat them with less
consideration than unprincipled Britons,
must excite abhorrence of you, and
prove that a difpefition for revenge or
a desire of blood are mo e prominent
features in your character, than the
J name of Pacificus" would leave the
world to suppose. You are the preacher
of peace when Engliflimen and savages
are the fubjedts; but when our own ci
tizens are concerned, nothing but car
nage will satiate you. What is tiic de
sign of your essays but to incite the ci
tizens of the United States to have re
course to immediate bloodshed and as
wantonly to plunge the bayonet in the
bofems of their brethren as if they
were ourang outangs or tygers ?
Let confiftenpy charade rife you, and
while you declaim in favor of peace witli
Great Britain, at the hazard of every
thing a virtuous nation ©ught to value,
do not preach a crusade against the de
luded western citizens without experi
encing your favorite system of negocia
tion. A nation can no more be free
that submits itfelf to the outrages and
arbitrary contioul of another, any more
than it can be fiee when it fuffers its
laws to be trampled upon by its own ci
tizens ; but it moderation and reason
are to effect justice with a foreign na
tion must they not be equally effc&ual
with itfelf ? Is there less reason among
the citizens of America, than among
the prostituted and abandoned ministry
of a British Court ? If there is not why

You affect to be the apostle of liberty

to arm citizen against citizen ; is it the
desire of union that causes you to hold

NUMBER I,
[Whole No. 62 2.]
a moment, that a ß y man, who is not
loft to every fenfeof virtue, can wifli to
overt urn the government, aud throw
his country into the miseries of anarchy?
If such can be your opinion, whicli I
very much doubt, it must be attributed
to a haunted imagination, that can fee
nothing but hobgoblins in the empire
o the people. Perhaps you mean to
consider every endeavor at reform as an
attempt at as subversion, and link every
opposition to the administration, like
your cousin, Pitt, with hoftiiity to the
con Hit lit lop. Should this be your objedi
you will torture your ingenuity to little
purpose ; for that age has paficd away,
that would have given you a monkifli
influence over the American mind.
Your plan would have made you a fit
instrument for the reign of Queen Ma
ry ; for your mode of converlion would
have exactly suited the apostolic heart
of that devout Princcfs. Field-pieces and
muskets could be as efFectual, no doubt,
in teaching men obedience to laws, as
/ a gg ot in teaching them tranl
iubitantiation and the infallibility of the
Pope ; but these would not be more
certain in their effects, than force in
flopping the progress of the reforma
tion ; for free men are to be kept in
their duty by reason, and not by the
infti '..mentality of the bayonet.
. That spirit which can brook no opposi
tion to its will is better calculated for the
meridian of Berlin than Philadelphia • tor
ui a country where men undaiiand and
reel their rights, and their duties, where
they are to be persuaded but not to be dra
gooned into a fubmiflion to Jaws/ the
Woody mind of a « Tully" would excite
horror rather than endeavours to iuppoit
his measures. No good citizen will iufti
fy the violence of the wtftern people ; no
lnend to orflcr will approve their mode of
opposition to the will of the major in- ; bnt
none but a Cannibal would with tounfbeath
the sword of civil war until every pacific
expedient had failed.

Aug. 28.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
Mr. Brown,
Under the New-York head in your piper
of Saturday, is a very curious quotation
from the Columbian Mercury : the author
in the beginning seems to be pleased at the
demolition of Popular Societies in France ;
which is not at all to be wondered at from
the sentiments afterwards advanced on the
fubjea of taxation—his opinion is, that
the more free the government is, the more
heavy willthenecefl'ary taxes be; Ihavefeen
these sentiments pretty frequently coupled
together before, and have often had oc
casion to remark that the molt violent ene
mies of popular societies, are often the
warmest friends of taxation.
With due submission to the Columbian
Mercury, I believe the freer the govern
ment, the smaller will be the taxation—
and I am of opinion, however heterodox it
may seem to this author, that popular so
cieties will tend to prevent taxation, by
strongly remonlVrating against the origin of
taxes, so frequently to be found in the pro
digality or unneceflary expenditure of pub
lic money. Your's
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Fenno,
The paragraphs alluded to in the ar
ticle signed Marcus, which appeared
in Mr. Brown's paper, having also been
published in your Gazette—please to
insert the following observations in re
ply to Marcus:
The paragraphs it appearsoriginated
in two of the new-York papers—one
printed in the city, the other, the Co
lumbian Mercury, is publilhed in a re
mote part of the Hate near the fron
tiers. The paragraph refpe&ing the a
bulition (not demolition) of the popu
lar societies in France, Hates what is
Gonceived to be a fact, without the wri
ter's so much as " seeming to be pleas
ed" as Marcus phrases it. The para
gtaph refpe&ing taxation is totally dif--
tinft from and independent of the other
—and the probability is, that the ref-*
peftive writers are mutually unknown,
I wi(h Mr. Ffnno, to offer a few re
marks on th« (jbjedl of taxes in free
dates—the writer in the Columbian
Mercury h*s in my opinion advanced
the truth in faying that " the more free
thegovernment is, the more heavy will the
necessary taxes be."—and this fimnle
idea will illustrate it to the comprehen
sion of every man—The greater any
person's pofleflions are the more will it
cost to guard and pretest them—ln
