I would as severely puniOi the offender as if Mr- Jefftrfon had be n at wife as Adams, eras pious princi pled and virtu'lUl as Wath ngto*. 'ltis ' the Office and not the Man. which the laws ccmp 1 us to rtfp. ft ; and however d flicult it itii' be to chenfh Mr. JefFerfon as a lo ver of thi Conllitut oil, when in his letter to Mazzie, he avows his deternvnation to overthrow it 5 however impoflible it may leem, to revere him for his piety when we believe the pride of his infidel philosophy ; to refpeA his pairiotifm when we behold bis servile adulation of a foreign nation ; to adm re h « firmnefs when we recolleft him flyi- g throu h Virginia before a hand ful of Britilh horse Yet ouv duty as citi rena compels us to confidcr the Vice Prefi der.t at pure and as white a: the l'aow upon the mountain-'t tnp. Mr. fffferfon has once fufFered himfelf to be placed, and we underlland he again so licita the fame difg'aceful pre-e'niiietice, at the hea I of the gallico, democrat'o, jaco binical party in the United States, who'e avowed aim. as their name purport , it—ill, To throw thi* cou-try into the arms of ma ternal France. —2 dy. To substitute a pjre aud unmixed democracy, in place of our well balanced Republic—and 3 bl!acl«. 10 the accomplirtiment of thu jrit nilhck of thrir reftiefs and" difcon ttruicd hearts. The writer of these pieces, Vr. Ruflel, is one of th< fe o'df jhiontd Americans, who has yet fame refped for the principles nd in (liiutionu of on ancettors, and though he agrees with the Jacobi s in the opinion, that the election of Mr Jtfffrfoo will crown their willies with compleat success, yet he is not qiiie ripe for thei trodudion of this new order of thi gs He yrt believes in the exifttnee of a God a d in the influence of an Pro idence. He is not prepared to discard the Christian reli,ion, nor to ridicule our crucifix Saviour as an nptlart iin potior. He has some venlfation for the external ceremonies of religion, and is not fully prepared for nboli/hing the ve nerable order of the l es not think Voltaire, Godwin and Volney, the greatest philosophers of the age ; nor would v he even new recommend Paine's Riglit of Man, as a new ralyirg point for Americans He caanot boait of a foreign correspondent so refptdable as Monf. Maiz 'i, nor if he could, would he unbosom himfelf ts a foreigner, by disclo sing the wiaknefles and biighieni 'g the fail ings of his own country. Your corre pon dent does not entertain the opinion, that our government has too much roergy, that jui lic creJi is a tiick of foiifki nu and that the funding system is a flock johlin scheme. which ought to be abolished The treaty with Great-Britain is not in his eye "p eg *art' -with evils" to this country, nor does he think that it was the duty of the Execu tive to consult France previous to its tatifi cation. He will not fubferibe a?yet to the opinion, that Washington was either duped or corrupted, when -he signed that obnox ious convention, nor that there is any deco rum or delicacy to opposing a public mea fnre,,btcaufe it compel' the ©ppoient to In fine, his mind it rot fuflieiintly i lumined to reprobate all the past meafuieu of the Ft deral Administration, asd to brand Wafll in»tor, Adams, Hamilton, Pickering, Ca bot, Ellfworth, Ames, and an hundred o therßofitsfnpporters,as artful and intriguing tyrants, who have been a ming to introduce a more defpoti,c and arbitrary government. He does not 7 t believe, even on the au thority of Mr. Jcfferfon, that " ihefe Solo mons in CLunci', and Sampsons in Combat, ' are leagued to ereft a monarchial form of g;mrnmer,t. la all these poicia, however, your cffrrefpcmdtut is sensible that he 13 •dirt-dV.y opposed by the authority of the great and able Ihomat a\ui for 'that reafcm feels himfelf juu-fitd to caiuri t ute his mile to keip him from leizing the reins, ar.d C- mmenciog the charioteer of State. With this view, the merits of Mr. Jtficrfoft will he txanvincd in the following points of light ! :ft. A tines S ' ttcb of his political life will be attempted ; from whence we nriycte-j tei-mhte wi ether this champion of liberty is really toßtetviirg tor the P. nplsy or aiming it olijc'cU of perfoiiil aiiibiti.ni. 2diy. His religious piilicipies will be thoitly examined, in which we th .ll have <\c cafion to touch upon his fchara/Ur as a Phi lufopher. ->dly. H'w political thai after and tenets, abliracled from his conduct, wjll be fully conliuer-d, in which we may be enabled to expol'e his mean fubferv-iei'.cy to the views of a foreign 'nation, aiijllirs cputraiiftioij on some great and leading points. These views will be pursued in the fol lowing numbers. DECIUS. No. 11. " By their works, y« fttali know them." MR. UUSSKI.L, 1 prispofe to take a brief review of Mr. Jefferlon's-paft hiitory, that we maybe the better enabled to judge of the purity and difiiitereflednefs of his character. The noisy ppttiots of all dges have cloaked their fclfilh defigni under clamorous profef lions for the public good:—Phey prafefs not only to be friendly to, but to be ena mourcd of the people : They breathe forth their sighs of love to the enraptured ears of the ni"b in every conventical and dram fliop —they swear by their- truth, and by their patriotism t in the people recedes all power, and* that they alone are capable of exercifmjj it. They charge every man who will not (loop to the fame meannesses, with being the hardy advocate of monarchy and the fivorn foe of tin* people—Such is the pecirir. r fitU3tion of this country, that this •race of patriots generate .here in greater numbers than in any other part of the world. Moral, physical and political eaufes conspire to multiply the (warms ot thefc disinterested' citiz us. Hence observing nnnds have bet te• oppo tunitit s, »'ere, to ai>alyze,tocxairiine and to dewil the of this genus of statesmen, and from twenty years expe rience, I have marked the prog re fs, tlir fan'e principles, and the fume pafiions, tronj the bold fpuit who direfts the great .movements of the National t'aflion, :o the miser able aj.es who regulate the pU>llin»;s of a Hatter's fhop—Fruni the idol Jeffi-rfon, to the dupe Ho: e(tr.s. Those diftinguilhed features, although ti.ey they fumetimcs vary their flrength of cob urinft' iu diffe rent cha racters, according to their tempefftrrjents, ore, restlessness", a difcontentrd J'pirit ; 1 jealousy, envy of fnperior talents ot go >d fortuni—cunning, i' triguillg temp is, pif ferv(hg to attain thrir objects by devtwiis I rather than by dirett paths ; .coafuniittufe vanity ; overweening pride, and inordinate | amb tii n. One would havtt supposed, that honell • minds who really felt th«r profound refpid for the people which these falfe and hollow patr ots profefs, wonld be felicitous to prove their purity and diltingu'lhed v rtue : by raoning all officers of honor, emoiuintnjt and tr >ft ; and could content' themselves with informing the public mind from the still and humble (hade of private life :—thus proving by their pradice, the corrednefs of their theory, that the people are the real fourceof power, and capable (ii-.cdly of conducting it.

To flatter, beguile, and I elevate its profeOor to the highest feats in the Government. M.

June »8. Strife our hit, the jjirTilic mind h is receiv ed additional agitation froin-the account by Capt. Hills,, of the capture of the Shi'p Juno ) of this txifW by the Brifilh frigate C.ip:. jtfaac Pellew ; under pretence ofliav ing Spanilh produce or property on-bo aid. To the real wdl-wilhprs cf our country's tranquillity, it is greatly affiifting, to learn theie repeated afts »t robbery and deten tion. In the cafe before us, we know tne Juno to have been built in this port, and t > be laden with a cargo, the intire* property of citizens of this town and Cltarlellon. Her papers, too, we know to be all fair, regular and authentic ; and that file was bound on a lawful voyage to a friendly port. Thus j circumstanced, to be captured and lent into | port to be adjudicated by a Judge of a V ice- Admiralty Court, appears such a violation of the of Nature and Nations ; fucli a deviation from the profeffed policy and interest us the Britilh government; so ep pofite to the conduft of other Britilh naval Commaders ; and so contrary to every prin ciple of good faith and amity ; that we mult consider it as an aft of wanton piracy on the part of Capt. Pellew ; and think The Pre sident of the United States, would Hand acquitted in the view of God, and the woild, in direfting Capt. Truxton to cap ture the Cleopatra, and brig her and her piratical Captain - into port ; to detain him until fisch time as an explanation between the Governments of the two nations could take place ; and prevent his exciting the en mity of the people of the United S.ates aga-.nft a government and nation with when) they wilh to live on terms of amity and friendfliip. We havr no doubt the yuno will be liberated, at Halifax, ttnlefs very fa tisfaftory reafona can be given for her con demnation. It is a cruel sentence on Go vernments and Magistrates which supposes them necessarily flagitious, or deems the infufion of authority a poifen to all the bland materials of the human heart.—We cannot hut have the hope, that the people of Great-Britain will ex press by (ome strong rreafure their detec tion of Pellew's conduct. Whatever may he the notions of this bnckaneer of the laws of morality, good faith and honor, we trust the Britilh government will not con sent to facrifice them to a momentary gain ; nor to practice on Pellew's maxim, that mi ht is right. In ihe cowtett which now agitates Europe, the United States have kept pure, unspotted hands ; and have re lied on their integrity atrd uprightness to (hield them from inlult and injury.— They will dill-rely on them. They arc certain that the great laws of nations mutt, in time, check if it does not guide the bel'i gerent powers ; and that every government mult submit to their sway. The pretence for detaining the Juno is said to be, that Ihe was tmployed in con veying the produce of a Span lh colony to the Mother Country ; b«i g bund to Ma laga, and having Span'lh on board It is said P llew informed the fnp<. rcargo that had (he been bound to Leghorn which we learn, was the ulterior objeft of the voyage, (he would not have been de tained.
