Gfntlemen Printers, As you have undertaken to enlarge your newspaper, and thereby incurred an ld ditional expencc, I make no doubt but that you will receive with gratitude any hints which may have a tendency to render its extension a source of addi ion it profit to yotlrfelyes, and frelh initiation to the public. Some printers may imagine it to be a duty they owe to the publ'c, whenever } they print, by request, or otherwifc, a philippic against government, or any of ' its functionaries, to make use of the firft opportunity which presents itfelf, to lay he ,jj fore the fame public the bell answer which may appear to the philippic, in order that the people may form ajuft judgment, by hearing both fides. This may be thought a good rule : you will, however, give it, only occasionally: for though, its ftriift observance might ac quire you the title of impartial printers, and honest men, there is no faying now many fubferibers yon may lose by it. Be circumfpetS, therefore, on this head ; — nay, you may fafely carry your caution so far as to curtail the debates of the best speakers in Congress, or omit them intire ly, whenever they bear hard upon any , favorite measure. To save appearances, however, on such octafions, you may plead a press of foreign news; taking it for granted, that it is of more consequence to the people to know what is doing in London or Paris, th'an what is doing in Congtefs. 10 As another means toprvent Congrefiion- r ' al dtbates and proceedings from coming f fully before the-publie, you may reserve a . 2 considerable part of your paper, under color of dilrufiing the merits of public men and public for. political paragraphs, hints, essays. and fquihs. To fuccced in this department, you are to believe, or seem to believe, that government is al ways wrong, opposition always right. You may therefore, fire at the executive \vith»ound, double-headed, langrage, and grape Ihqt, broken bottles, rusty nails, and red hot balls; remembering al ways, that your abuse of the venal gen try can hardly to be seasoned too high for the public appetite, which is never de praved. J I According to the rule here given, ij *' i might fcem, that the outs, or antifederal d j ids, as they were once called, are the only 18 ! friends of liberty and the constitution ; — n while the fedcrallfn are become enemies to n liberty and the government At firft fight 1 the thing jppears strange ; but the dif • ficulty is removed by a small alteration in k i the epithets. Infteadof antifederalift you is 1 are to use the word republican, and in d J place of federalift you are to use the wtrd iriftocrat, and then all becomes plain. The Prefidentwas once a good federalift, <0 were Mr. Jay, Mr. Hamil ton, and many others that might be nam ed. Call these men aristocrats and you e will fee them immediately become ene d mies tot their country. — On the other I) hand, call democrats those who.never did U one a<fl to advance the independence of A merica, and those who have only late -11 ly become citizens, (through an over a kindnels in our laws) and you will fee ,1 them in like manner, converted into ftiin ] ing and diftinguilhed patriots. Again instead of antifederalift you may H use the worirepublican ; for take notice, that the bulk of mankind (and perhaps e they may have not much changed in this , refpeil in modern times) have in former - days invariably been duped out of their li berty, by names For example, the an i tifederalift, now republican, loves the con stitution which he formerly opposed, and, 3 he loves the people ; but the ariftoerat - that is the old federalift, cares nothing a ' bout the people, and wilhes to destroy the ' government, and turns all things topsyturvy. -turvy. This is to be your creed. You are to affirm, that the old federalift, or in the new language, ariftoerat or anti-repub lican, is an enemy to peace and good order, & to the solid happiness & improvement of ' the country ; while the true republican democrat happy in his own prosperity, thinks of nothing but serving the people, and watching over their happiness. In ■ the conducing, however, of this business I some address will become neceftary ; for you may possibly be told, by some pensioned press, that the prelent executive who are confirmed aristocrats, have been remarkably studious to preserve peace, and thereby preserve also the prosperity and ; lives of their fellow-citizens; whilst the democrats, or true republicans, hare 1 moved heaven and earth to involve the country in war. Should any scribbler ! undertake to satirize these democrats for their love of war, you may fay that arif- I tocrats love peace only becauie they were afraid of parting with life and money.— You may also fay, that war, all things considered, is a pretty good fort of a thing; that it is rather better than peace, beeaufe that it makes money circulate, and beeaufe it finds employment for men, who, in peace are a nuisance to society, and becauie yet, : it itiakes poor men rich, and rich men j ffeor ; whilst the thousands killed in the > fcuffle are never known to complain. You may even fay, that war is more honour- t able than peace, especially for the repub- t licans ; that the Romans, in tke days of j their republic, lived by war, fed their 1 treasury by war, and, though they loft > their liberty by war, and fcldom en- I joyed a moment's domestic tranquility except when engaged in war, they were j ncverthelcfs, the greatest people on record, f Upon the whole therefore, you miy eon- * elude, that the executive and others, who >1 had a hind in keeping this country at < peace, weie, and ltiil contiuue to be, its grc-ateft enemies; wliilft Mr. G*** *, and his party, were then, a,id ftiil con tinue to be, its only true friends. Yi-U will also, when you come to fpc;:k of public orators, and members of congress, recoUedt, that no repre sentative of the people can be entitled to the name of patriot, who does not uniformly oppole the executive branch of government. The more he talks of penality and corruption, the better man he mult be ; and if he can propose any reform in public salaries, it will be dill adding to bis civic laurels. But if he can write a pamphlet to prove j that all labor is slavery, and that pub j lie banks and public credit, have impo j verifhed the country from one end to . the other, he will then have arrived at the highest climax of miJdtrn patriot ism. Should his opinions differ from those of established writers on the lame fubje&s, it may be said, that rhefe writers were only considered as g»eat in the times of ignorance which have preceded the prelent days of light and discoveries, when metaphysics ;.od the ory are offered to the people as far faf cr guides than fa£ls and experience. Such a man you may fafely piaife, for such will be sure to retire from tfie pub lic stage amidst the applauses and re grets of all democrats or true republi cans. But if there should be a man in our public councils who unites all the virtue* of the politician and hero, firm in the agitations of a dangerous mino» rity, tin (hake n through an alarming cri sis, of great uprightnefs,,of scrupulous integrity, of precious liiicerity, gifted with a spirit of order and Veifdom which he ha* infufed into our affairs, with a heart exempt from prepoffeffion6 and pafiiom, enlightened by sure lights, and tempered with a serenity that can not be ruffled by dorms nor disturbed by party; such a man, I fay, though capable of coiidu&ing a great nation to the ultimate point of prosperity and a lory to which it can be curried, may be fafely abused in your paper, and ' fuffered to retire amidst the hides and execration* of all good democrats, or true republicans, according to the new i acceptation of these venerable words. To return to members of congref*. | In some cases, patriotic motive* will ' juftify votes apparently opposite. One member, for example, will vote against. j an excise, becauft it it an opprffive tax ; : whilst another, from the fame state, f will,vote against it, because it is a tax not felt by tht people, and offers up a 1 wifii to heaven, that 'ut Sv pinch as to cause rcjijlance. If, on a different occasion, the fame member should have opposed, considering the in- c flammatory aft* and misrepresentations c as certain democratic societies, as hav- f ing been inilrumental in producing the ' late infurreftion, and theiefore livable 3 to cenlure, you will ascribe his opposi tion to a recolledlion, that certain I speeches in congress were no lef* inftru- j, mental in occasioning that crisis, than S the a£t* of those societies. It is ex- I tremely trying for a judge to condemn v a poor culprit for a crime in which he has himfelf participated. Should this • fubjeft, therefore, be at any time flart- „ ed in your paper, mak* it a point to f ( call off the hounds by a falfe scent, for A nothing should tempt you to be inftru- b mental in exposing the failings of true patriots. Keep also in reserve, as a rod over the lover* of order, that to shake government to its foundation, no more F is ueceffary, at any time, than to put in motion a part tf the people, by means of societies, intrigue* and newspapers. ' L Lastly, as a general rule, you are to v< remember, that prosperity and places of 1 profit are, invariably, ohje&s of envy u and desire. Men in place, and rich a men, have got what other people wifli r ) to have; and as there will always be ol ten wisher*, especially for offices, for c > one that can be gratified, therefore, by tr abusing government, and advocating ib< volutionary mcafures, you will, at leall, bi be sure to please the difcotrtented ond di disappointed, a very numerous clafj. a s You can hardly, therefore, lay on ihufe 1° too thick, since it is all for the public V good. n< AN OLD PRINTER. zl ~~ BRIDGE-TOWN, (Barbados) 1«< Dec. 6. m Tejlerday evening arrived the Traufport P' ship, Redbridge,from Martinique, vjitha P l number ofjick soldiers.
