For tht Gazette of the United States,
Mn Fenko,
Notwithstanding the low illiberal wri
Iter, in your evening paper of Monday,
upon the Age of Reafoo and Thomas
Paine,* deserves notice, hiVlhall
not pass without Tome observations from
one who is intimately acquainted with
that excellent Writer, and his works,
which will be read and admired when
this defamer, will be Configncd to con
tempt and oblivion : And 1 am not a
little surprised,' that Inch a jargon of
iian.lal, tallhood; and abulc, againll one
oi our bell arid mod valuable Patriots, j
should find admittance into an Ameri
can paper. 1
He lays this Pamphlet the Age of
Realyn, has heen thrown on the public
as a baflaid is laid in the streets, with
out a typographic dad, or mam, to claim
the brat, with an intention to juflifv
the title; this is an impudent and a fool
ifli falfhood, for Mr. Paine avows the
Irat and has given his name to it.
Mankind have from the firft of time
been going on in improvement, and of
cpnfequence it is to be fnppofed, that
by the fag end of the 18th century,
liibje&s "will be more thoroughly difcuf
f«H and better underllood, than they
were at the fag end of the 17th.
. of then pt-oceeding to make
his ftnftures upon the book, he Hops'
to give you the hiltory of i|s author,
which is a mixtui e of misrepresentation,
® | al »I°od.1°od. Mr. Paine was known ia
England both as a Patriot, and a writer,
befoie he came to America his publica
tion in behalf of the inferior officers of
the Revehue, gained him great credit,
and many friends, though it cost him
his place ; it was for that and not for
any difticieucy in hia accounts, for he
had none, being only a surveyor, that
?. a 'id corrupt government displaced
h.m, and it was Dr. Franklin himfelf
who was the cause of his coming to
country. The last ten lines of this
paragraph contain as audacious an un
truth, as ever insulted the public the"
truth is Mr. Paine published the ftcond
part of the Rights of Man in London,
and remained many months after in
that city. He was. then frlefitfd a mem
ber of the National Convention for two
places, he chose to represent Calais, and
a deputation was sent to Dover, where
he embarked publicly at noon day, and
the fame deputation accompanied him '
to Paris, where he took his feat.
It is true his fame went before him ;
it is true he continued his hatred of
Kings and tyrants, yet he voted against
the death of Louis 16th—but his inti
macy with BriiTot who translated and
read his fpeechcs, and who has fincc
been executed for conipiracy, and trea
son, was"the cause of his arreftation, and
of his being confined in the palace of
Luxembourg in Paris, and not in the
Castle of Luxembourg which I suppose
this writer would have us understand ;
the remainder of this paragraph is too
contemptible for notice.
And for the remainder of his piece,
with the religion of his fore-fathers, and
his church hiltory, the Jews with ecjlia'
propriety urged the fame arguments, at
the coming of the Savior, as well as the
Catholics at the reformation, and they
may continue to be used forever against
alterations in church, (late, government,
or politics. The extract of the letter
lame pen, and doubt less was wrote by
the fane hand; he fays Mr. Paine's
book was wrote to please the reigning
party in France, (if so, it was right, the
reigning party in France arc a very
great majority of the people ;) and tc
save his head and get out of prison,
this is falfe ; the book was published be
fore he even apprehended &n arrest, thai
it may have been fupprefled in England,
lii very probable and I am convinced i
book witite in favor of Revelation, if ii
I bore the name of Thomas Paine, woule
be in like manner fupprefTed.
Upon the whole these d ulardly St
tacks upon Mr. Panic's political charac
ter, can do h;m little harm among i
people who remember his exertions it
the cause of Liberty, and the good ef
feels tl,cy produced, they fmellftrongli
