e$ reprobate them, and then the
1 irobate the Democratic focie
fivs. Wjien you firft cut a man's
throat, and thereafter call him aiafcal,
do you suppose that your accusation
will affect the man's reputation? The j
House, by paflii.g this vote of censure,
would make a party, artd lose
a title to unfufpccietl confidence. Mr.
Nicholas declared, that h>r his own part,
he any concern with these
fvieties, nor ever to his knowledge, had
an liour with any person who was
a member of them. He rather, if any
thing, despised them. He always had
thought tliem the very word advocates
ft.rthe caitfe which they espoused but
he had come two hund'-ed miles to le
gislate, and not to reprobate private fo
ci L lies. He was not paid by his confli
turnis for doing bufmefs of that fort. The
President knew the bufmefs of the house
h'etti'r than to call for any filch votes of
cuMifnre. It was wrong to condemn
foeieties for particular a&s. " That
there never (houid be a democratical so-
ciety in America," said Mr. Nicholas,
" I would give my most hearty con-
I, iit; but I cannot agree to persecution
for the fake of opinions." With refpett
either to the propriety or the power of
fuoprefli:ig them, Mr. Nicholas was in
both cases equally of opinion that it
was much better to let them aloue.—
They nufl (land or fall by the general
sentiments of the people of America.
Ii it pofiible that these foeieties can ex
ill, for any length of time, when they
are of 110 teal life to the country ? No.
But this amendment will make the peo
ple at large imagine that they are of
consequence.
M . Davton said that these foeieties
had produced the western in furred ion,
and therefore the committee were just
an well entitled to institute an enqdiiy
in this cafe, as formerly, regarding the
failure of the exp.ditiou of General St.
Clair.
Mr. Nicholxt objefled to this infer
ence. There was. a general wish that
the committee should rifey as it was now
a quarter pnft three o'clock. They
. rcfo accordingly. The chairman re-
J»r; ed •progress, and aflted leave to fit

it was to be regretted that Mr. Alex

course of collegiate education with the o
ther young gentlemen, was prevented by
sickness from attending the examination,
and therefore could no be admitted with

ihould be one month previous to the com
mencement.

PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER »6.
Poftfeipt of a letter from Pittfcurg, dated
Nov. 17, by yeuerday's exp re '"
" I havejuft heard that 77 prisoners are
coming over from Walhington—We have
here already about eighty.
Letters received yesterday from Pittf
burg, mentioned that his excellency the
governor >vas to have left that place on the
18th, under the escort of the Philadelphia
horse.
Extrafl of a letter from Brest, to a mer-
chant in this city, dated September 19,
" The (hip Woodrop Sims, J. B.Hodg
fon master, belonging to your port, and
bound from thence to Cadiz, is taken by
a French frigate, part of her crew is here,
but as she is not arrived in port, ihe xiuft
have been re-token."
/I writer in a late Marylandpaper fays.
It is to be wiflied therefore, that the
legiflnture would only amend, or so mo
del our laws, that every public security
may be given to protect property, to
encourage and favour credit, to promote
industry and ogconomy, and to induce
and ei« ice foreigners to fettle in the llatc
and bring their wealth among us—
These are objifts deserving, and seri
ously calling for the deliberations of that
body. There are rcafons for it which
pofiibly may have escaped tbeir observa
tion. The Congress of the United
States will in a few years take poflefiion
of the diftrift of Columbia, where they
have a federate and esclufive jurifdiSion.
Can it be doubted, that body will not
eftablifhfuch a government, fiich laws,
and hold forth such allurements to all
descriptions of persons within their dif
trift, that unless we meet them, or ra
ther anticipate them by similar provisi
ons, out (late government, and the state
itfelf, in every other part of it, will b ■
materially affe&ed: even your belt ci
tizens and all men of property will emi
grate to Columbia ; and in proportion
as its influence increases, the weight and
influence of the reft of the state will fink
and become contemptible. But thedi
reft reverse will happen, if by a wife
and prudent conduct we avail ourselves
of the oppurtunity, while it yet remains,
of improving the advantages which lo
cal and other circumstances may con
tribute to render us a flourifhing rich
and happy people-
