THE COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.
FAR from the bustle of the-anxious
7he mighty Poptician t of the age, '
democritic zeal, with clamour
loud,
Turns public spirit into party rage ;
Here let us fit and take a laughing
view, ,
Of embryo brats, whose births for office
wait,
Imploring help from all the obstetric
crew,
While strangled thousands * liek the ar-
• tilt's feet.' v
In doleful mood thus prostrate Esau lay,
When Jacob, lucky rogue, the blefling
stole ;
" Have ye no blessings left for me, they
fay,—
•' O fad reyvard for all our pain and
toil ?'*
See the sage R—n-- ? fe, whose mi
mic art
Can turn the Planets, like a fpirning
wheel,
For philolophic play, mount Faction's
cart
While tottering empires in his fancy
reel. „
See blustering Commodoie, his squad
rons rang'd
Both Law and Medicine, hail the wilh'd
for day
When Chefnut BURR, to polilh'd eye
ftone chang'd,
From cloudy films shall purge their vi
sual ray.
See in Vermont their chaste old truant
grow!,
Satan's high pried, whole laws he ne'er
defam'd, V
So from the woods looks out the moon
struck owl,
Or bear, which (trokio'g off, the mas
ter's tam'd.
See Bolton too prcferves one feeble
clan,*
For Granna's nest-egg, where (he night
ly lays ;
While from his lying press their tool
fhaped mans
Her cock-a-doodle crows their envied
praise.
See southern brethren aid' this glorious
cauft,
( Pure land of liberty) and compa&s
join,
To abate th? rigour of our federal laws,
And help the French to new-form'd
Guillotine.
" Citrfe on your clumsy, chopping, dull
machine, I
" Whose tardy work our feelings ill
doth suit ;
" Clap in all Frenchmen, but the Jaco
bin,
Mr. Cleveland
Mrs. Marfl-all
Miss Broadhurft
Mrs. Cleveland
Mrs. Shaw.
" And chop off heads as we tobacco
cut."
Oh blest Equality I what charms you'll
prove,
When tyrant law co more shall clank
his chain f
The mouse and horse in equal size (hall
And every mother's son turn Cqngrefs
man.
Before your doors the roasted Pig
Ihall cry,
Come eat me, Sir, and thank you for
your pay ;
Pumpkins vriH grow in form of pump
kin pie,
And the whole year "be one thanksgiv
ing day.
See in the weft, the threat'ning cloud
alcend ,
The whisky vapours just condens'd to
f°g>
The uplifted groves this dreadful pha
lanx bendj
And for a cannon point a hollow log.
Here fafe we fit, our barns well-ftor'd
with hay,
Our corn well cribb'd, with heaps of
pumpkins round,
With thankful hearts we'll celebrate
this day,
And pigs and pies the feftive board
(hall crown.
While Joe and Sue for tardy evening
long,
That eve which consummates their nup
tial ties,
The chcarful dance shall aid the jocund
throng,
And hymns hymeneal greet thelift'ning

For the Gazette of the United Stales.
Mr. Fenno,
THE offence which the Jacobin so
cieties in this country tike at being
called " felf-created" naturally excites
the curiosity of the public to know
who did create them, as well as what
they were created for. The fa£t is,
they were made by a foreign emissary—
for his own glory and that of those
who appointed him. A board of phi
losophers having demonstrated that
there was no power in Heaven or Hell,
and illegitimated all they found on
earth, made out their own right te re
generate one nation, and to impregnate
all the reft. Their apostle to us, h vng
been furnifhed with the means and in
ltruited in the 'arts necefTary to his
wotk, commenced his public ministry
by preaching peace, with his pockets
full of war commissions. He transub
stantiated treason into expatriation, and
revealed the mystery that a nation might
be .neutral and all her citizens at the
fame time engaged in acts of hostility.
He moreover taught the people that
the way to preserve their national inde
pendence was, to despise and reject the
authorities which their wisdom had ef
tablilhed, and of eourfe to follow him.
Inceflant in his pursuit, he hired wri
ters, bought fpcakers, paid printers,
and organized tHe malcontents into
corporations from Charleston to Bos
ton,; and through the wilderness from
Vermont to Kentucky *, some of which
he beatified with his presence, and all
with large portions of his fpiritj which
yet remains with them. He often eat
and drank with the meanest of his disci
ples, and inftrufked them by signs and
parables as they were able to feceive his
do£lrine f that it was their" right to rule,
and that they might enjejr in this life
what Odin promised his vctaries in the
next, the pleasure of driiking out of
their enemies (bulls. At one fitting,
impioijfly likened to a ccmmunion, he
instituted the facramentsof his order,
not in bread and wine, bjt in pig and
wine. The head of the poor animal,
fevered with a carver, aid elevated on
the points of a large fork, was given by
him, and from hind to hand a
round . the table ; and a libation of
wine, was at the name of Walhington,
dashed with the glafles. Such Was the
origin offocietiesj certainly as unne
ceflary here as for the people to rife
against themselves, and as absolutely un
adapted for anything but mifejiief, as a
wolf is by his nature for any thing but
to destroy. They are now, like their
filler Jacobins in France, purging and
wiping themselves cltan of one rebellion,
and preparing the way for another.
From the Minerva.
To make bad men known is to pro
vide for their punilhmcnt and our fafety.
It will be doing both to bring into view
at the present day, some of the incon
fillences of our difotganizers for some
yeais palh As it will (hew that they
did not believe the old calumnies when
they dinn'd them in the ears of the
public, it ought to prevent their gain
ing credit for the new ones they will
not fail to invent.
Members of Congress, mujl not be
members of the State Legiflaturet—For
said the party writers, no man can fcrve
two, mailers. There was according to
them no end to the mifchiefis of having
Congiefs-rtien in the State Govern
ments ; and the country frcmed to think
it proper to keep them separate. There
is scarcely a part ot the United States
where the doctrine has not been preach
ed, of excluding Congress members from
holding any other trull: from being
Judges, Sheriffs or even Lawyers, be
cause they might polfibly have their
minds drawn off in Congicfs from the
public good. They would banish every
sinister view and all undue bias.
How happens it that the members
of Clubs are not thought in reason at
least difqualified from feats in Congress.
How is it that the party who espy
dangtt at all times and in every thing
else, fee none in fending Club-men to
make laws ? The Hate Legislators and
Congress co-operate it appears very
cordially in enforcing the laws.—A
man runs a less riflt of halting between
two opinions who i 6 a member of two
legiflat tires at once, than he who juins
a club topublifh refolvcaaud propagate
jealousies, suspicions and accusations a
gainst the whole government, and then
takes a fqat in the legislature of the
state or the nation. If the chief magi
ftratc informs that certain Clubs have
had an eflentir.l part in fomenting the
infurreftion, what answer can the Club
law-giver consent te make to the infor
mation he fey by his jotc. This
is all t>ue and thereby difgracehii club
or shall lie candidly vote in the nega
tive and disgrace himfelf}—A single
vote-may happen to decide the point,
and in giving it a man is in a dilemma
that is no less uncomfortable to himfelf,
than unfavorable to his eonftituents.
He cannot determine whether he shall
serve God or Mammon, as he has laid
himfelf under some obligations to both ;
and the people at large and his immedi
ate eonftituents more especially will be
puzzled to know whether he votes as a
Clubift or as a Legislator. It makes
the oddest jumble of characters the molt
ridiculously inconsistent with each other
that can be imagined. It is beyond
the grimace of a patomirae, for the
fame man in one place to be obliged
to bluster in' favor of the laws and in
another framing resolves that they are
the abhorrence of freemes, odious and
tyrannic 1: in the day voting supplies
to pay for suppressing resistance, and at
midnight writing .ettcrs of fraternity
and union to the clubs who have out
lawed the officers of government..
What a clatter was made, about Con
gress mens being Bank-Dire&ors, and
how remarkable was the silence on the
members of the state legislatures being
concerned in llate banks. If so much
influence was then dreaded, why do not
the jealous patriots, as they call them
selves, fee club influence ? why do not
they found the alarm ? Is club influ
ence less corrupt, less dark, less ambiti
ous and afpirin'g than any they have here
tofore denounced ? What other socie
ties are formed merely to overawe go
vernment ; to echo 9 disorganizing fac
tion in our legiflatois in every project
of confuiion, to intrigue for the election
of the members of that faction, who in
return faithfully fopport 'the Club and
the meafuret of the Club after they are
chosen. It is injlurnce of the worlt kind
and of the \rorft men. It is a speck of
rottenness at the core, which the elec
tors will not fail at the next opportu
nity to cut out.
To Citizen BLAIR '
. President, and the Members of the De
mocratic Society of Pennfylvattia, efta
bliihed at Philadelphia..
Gentlemen,
PERMIT a fellovr-citizen, whole hofom
burns in the cause of freedom with an ar
dour almost equal to your own", to approach
at this momentous crisis, when the reflect
ing mind is deeply alarmed by the threaten
ed deftrutftion of the patriotic foeieties,
ellablifhed for the preservation of the li
berties of our country.
Your fellow labourers in the great work
of our political falvarien, unfortunately,
did not reach me until yesterday evening,
or I lhould before this have poured forth
my cordial thanks for the provident care
which your refpedtable body manifells for
the public good.
FACTS
I have read your address, gentlemen, to
all my neighbours; and they are aftonifh
iflgly pleased with its contents. But, ior
what I lhall presently relate, they were on
the point of withdrawing their confidence
from their repi efentatives in Congress, and
of placing it in you, their better friends. —
They were on the point of withholding all
thanks&praile for the wearied heroes, who
have returned from the western waters,
and of bellowing them on you, the more
worthy volunteers in freedoms cause.
All this, gentlemen, and thmgs more
glorious would have happened, had not a
meddlesome q.riJlocrat suddenly popped
upon me a number of questions, to which
I could not for-my foul, furnilh fatisfaflo
ry artfwers. Anxious, my dear brother
patriots for the preservation of that liberty
for which We have so nobly fought and
bled, and fully convinced that nothing
can so much. contribute to this delirable
end, as the continuation of your society at
the feat of arillocratic villainy, I lhall now
repeat to you the queftioss te which I have
alluded, hoping, and trusting, that you,
as watchmen on the walls of our political
Jerufaletn, will enable me, your fdlow
centinel, to serve the cause of democratic
liberty, by giving theih a full, complete,
andirrefiflible answer. This done, 1 pledge
my honor all will be fafe ; and the good
people of New Jersey, with loud hofannas
will hail yon ' Welcome ye Saviors of your
Country.'
The queflions, my dear firs, as you
will perceive, were all framed from fen ten -
ees in your addiefs, and were as follow,
viz.
Pray fir, who are the ariftocratical fac
tion among us ? And what are the princi
ples which they difleminate, unfriendly to
the rights of man ?
What combinations and fcheme< ha»;
the rulers of our country formed for the
definition of our liberties ?
Which /of our temporary risers have
adopted righteous policy, that the
Svinilh Multitude are unequal to the talk
of governing themselves ; and that publii
meafurcs are only lobe diicuffed by public
charaflers
Have any attempts been made to pro
scribe the liberty of the preis ? If ft.,
point them out ; if not, t why
talk of rapacious jaws extended to
" swallow every vestige of freedom ?"
What rights haye bee* filched from the
people without the ffcadow of reason or of
justice ? Or, is it possible for human nature
to enjoy a greater degree of political libei
ty than t'.e people of the United State, t
at this present moment enjoy ?
Wh« iniquities of public men an.: mea

NEW-YORK, December 26.
I [The Popular societies in l'Vanre
' were formed with as boneft views as the
; cli bs in tile United States. Let us fee
; what they have done in France, the
account is authentic : it come s from a
dillinguifhed republican—Fieron, a
member of the National Convention.]
The following pai&gc. it tratiflated from
the " Orator of the People, " a
French Publication, by Freron, da-
ted September 24.
" The Jacobins, it isailedged, have
been ma ft era of France and of the Con
vention since May *t. * 793* Now
what have they done ! By pieaching
liDerty, justice, virtue and probity,
they have ellablifhed the most frightful
tyranny iccorded in the history of Re
volutions.—They have been the means
of flaughtcrring thoufai ds of citizens of
all ages and sexes, folwly because they
did not belong to their deltru&ive
party, or pofTeffed talents that they
feared. They have pillaged the pub
lic and individuals ; they have exeiied
and nourilhed the war of La Vendee,
while every day they were alluring in
the war was at an end; and they
converted this war into a source ot
wealth by dilapidation and robbery,
which have already cost some milliard!
to the republic.] [A milliard is nthou
sand millions.] They have arm Stated
Commerce, [This agrees with Lindet's
Report] the arts and fcienccs ; they
have prostituted almolt all employment*
and public fund)ions to rogues and ig
norant men, such as those who enmpo
fedthelall commune of Paris, the ju
rors of the old tribunal and the num
bers of the old Revolutionary Commit
tees. They have poifomd society with
informers and pensioned knaves ; tlicy
have destroyed public morality to make
.way sot baibariiy and fcrocinihifts.
Thty have in (hoit brought more cal."-
mities on France than ever Pitt and J'>-
bovirg wiflied to aiflift her with. We
may with juilice attribute to them ail
these horrors, for they have been com
mitted by those* members oftnatclub,
who made a part of the Convention, and
who governed that body ; and by their
aflbciates who were Jacobins. Did 'he
society ever remonstrate against. thcie
abominable deeds ! never ; on the con
trary, the club supported 3r d defended
tliera with all their power. They re
