Far the Gmrttt of the UtuUd State*.
Mr. Fehno,
It is {aid by the advocates of thefelf-
truited foe it ties, that to censure them is to
deprive them of the right of opinion.—
Have they refpeded the right of opini- '
on ? Who commenced the system of
denunciation for opinions ? Who held up
public charadters to the execration of
their fellow-citizens, merely for exerci
sing that precious right ? Who passed j
votes of reprobation, who burnt and j
jibbeted public men for ex pre fling their
opinions? The Clubs. And they now (
find advocates and vindicators in those
who pretend tu cherish and revere the
rights ciopinion.
The c. h« are said to be now unpo- '
pular. they profefftd them
selves th< if ft friends of the pec le.
Bat t! • . e have found they were
c-fc.at-. fact their worst enemies.
They t w f«diti«n and planted a
tiavchy. have oecaGoned an ex
p«nfe tc the U lited States of a ndllitn
of dollars.
Would the Plttftjurg insurgents have
gant such lengths, if they had not sup
posed that serious difcootents exiftedon
the fca cpait and io the great cities, and
if they had not expe&ed aid and sup
port from the discontented in other
quarters ? It is in proof that there
were Democratic Societies in the heart of
the country where the rebelno* broke
out, that the leaders of the societies were
the leaders of the rr ' ellion, and that tkefe
foctftite cot •'tfpondti tuith the society of
Philadelphia and others. There were
difcontcnts, 'tis true, i* that country,
before the .rxilience of democratic soci
eties, but they were notking more than
riots, punishable by process of law.—
This appears from the speech of Gover
nor Mifflin to thq legislature in Septem
ber last. -After the exiflenct of Democra
tic Societies, th«n rebellion reared its crest. \
When the societies were organized asd
united, when the rombuftibles were by
their agency well prepared, then the
flame burst forth. It is too well known
to be denied, that the excise was a con
stant theme of execration by the clubs,
that the government was denounced by
them as opprejfive and corrupt, and that
the Prejident was represented by them as
a flagrant violator of the conjhtution,
who had violated the rights and interests
of the frontier inhabitants ; it is equally
well known that their resolves were
tranfmitted to all theirJijier clubs. With
these facts before our eyes it is as afto
nifl- ' g that any one in his senses should
Jo t the agency of the clubs in exciting
■menting the infurieftion, as that
ine who pretends to be a friend of
er and good government ihculd a
vow hia elf their advocate.
But ie clubs, fay their friends, de
nounce the infurreftion : How did
'hey d ut <i They affected todifapprove
of the iode of opposition ;at the fame
time din the fame resolves they re
prat- the excise as the horror of free
jtdti . they tell the people that they
are opprefled and ought to exccrate the
gov.-ri.ient, and then hypocritically ad
v.:e thon to Ijibmit to it. Such a
flirr iey cover could not deceive.
Some of the members, 'tis said, took
j'n.. against the insurgents. Incendia
ri-i are sometimes the fitft to cryJire :
by :!iis means they expert to escape de
tr-t'jn. Some of the ringleaders of
the infurreftion are now the warraeft
friends of ordet and government. They
found that the infurre&ion was not
matured, and that government was too
strong: How would they have a (fled,
had it beea othfrwife ?

A bill to explain and amend the in

the Senate was read the third tirae and pat
fed.
The bill authorizing a loan of two mil
lions of dollars was ordered to be engrailed
for a third reading.
M. Coit'i motion for an enquiry into
the Hate of the mint was taken into con
sideration—A letter from Mr. Ritten
houfev the Director was read —
Mr. Boudinot drew the attention of the
house for foma time, by a series of the
molt interesting observations. He
went to the bank of the United States
to enquire for cents, Hq was told that
there were non« to be had, because the
bank could not get them from the mint.
He then went to the mint, where he
was informed that cents were not coined
fader, because the officer of the mint
did not know where to get them vented!
He said that this mint colt twenty-four
thousand dollaisper annum, and every
cent coined there cost the ptlbliefeverel
cents, though lie could not exa6t!y tell
how many. In New-Jersey far more
cents had been coined in a few months
than had ever been coined all together,
attheßankof the United States, and
this had been done at one fourth
part OF the ex pence ivhich the mint of
the United States has cofl.
Sereral other members adverted to
the prodigious inconvenience which is |
felt all over the union for * ant of copper .
coin ; a:;d it appeared to excite foine '
curiosity, on what foundation the offi
cers of the mint have said that they
could not get their cents vented. It
was remarked by Mr. \V. Smith, tha f ,
except as to Philadelphia, the oiir.t isof

The pnWic may remember to have !
fecn 10 t]ie Cctincl about two years j
since, the following words spoken by j
the famous St. Tuft', at a meeting of j
the Jacobins. —" There are a hundred '
thotifand conspirators, their heads mnfl j
all fall, we had better swim through |
waves of Arifioc ratio blood, than that
a Angle patriot (hould re«eive a scratch."
This infernal lpeech was however ap
plauded at the lime, and regarded by
the thoughtless people, (who admire
energy but who do not always ditlin
, guifh that which is virtuous from the
vicious) as a proof of the puretl patrio
tism.—Now this fame St. Just was a ty
rant, and was (baring the sovereignty of
France, vyith Robespierre and Couthon,
when his career was stopped by his in
jured and insulted fellow-citizens. Such
righteous-overmuch, (uch flaming patri
ots, are generally hypocrites and villians
at bottom. But it is a heart rending
rcfleftiau, that the " hundred thousand
conspirators," wbofe "heads" St Jnft
said " must all fall," were the bed of
men, though in oppofi,tion to him, and
his brother blook-fuckers, and that he
really accompli(hed thedeftiiiftieti 0 f a
majority of them, before divine Venge
ance overtook him.
The Patriots in »>ms, who have
