Gazette of the United States. FMLAIibUHIA, TUESDAY F.VI.X'ING, JUL? IJ. Far t'be (/Azs'r r K of the Unitkb States. To " NO IN NO VAT OR." TN the Gazette of the United States of Wedriefday last, you have a number of ob fervationj upon the new ph lofop'.y, which you deiiominare i/luminatifm, and amidst your animadverfu» s 011 the evils attending it, you single out the author of an efiay oil the amufemen'.s and punijhmenis prcper for fcimo's, whom you affed to ennfider as a difoiple of th s " new philosophy,'' and abuse accordingly It is not from a desire to vindicate this peiuleman that I take notice of your essay, - . -fort—;- oenlureaof luc'i chilu ifti malignity and so - little meaning can hurt no man, however vulnerable he may be to th (hafts »f :ruc satire ; bu I tliink never thckls tl a little advice may not be im properly be ft owed upon you. Give ma leave fir to tell yoti, that what ever may be Ihe eriors of this gentleman, yon have not the talents to'fet him right. Ido nt know you, but I judge from your elf.y, which is a jumble of nonsense as well asgrofs incor/fiftency. This I will under take to pfoVe to y ;ur own underlianding. In the firtt place ycu fay that he is one of those proud disciples of the new philosophy whose tmpudehc and da ing even exceeds their nonsense antl impiety, a&d immediately you subjoin in a rote that he is a " meet'' man. Now starch your didionary and tell us if you can reconcile tbefe exprefiions, Avain, in fpealcing in defence of teligion, and againtt the do rine of materialism, you ; fay in one place 'hat the great bulk i f our ! citizens Jlit'f reverence the religion a dgood sense of old times, and afterwards you are of quite the contrary opir.ion. and aflcrt that • • the fadions in this country" es well as the wars in Europe are owing to aficlly trifle for novelty ar.d paradox ; that there is " a general corruption of manners and principles" and that a rage for innovation ii.fefts hoth puhji ardpei-oat life. These words I quote from you, Sir, to fliew your foolilh iiicon- Cftejjdy ; but you follv appears in another light, dillind from this. Here, it is in 7 our manner of handling the fubjed ; but it was further, a folly in.yoii to handle it at nil. The cause of religion is i>nly injured, when fucli bunglers as you attempt to de fend it. Vou only bring the principles of its enemies into notice, without the ability to treat them as they deserve. You provoke the wild bealt which ycu have not strength to dellroy. After this, Mr., No- nnovator, letmeafk you one queft>on. .Your piece contains a generel difcutfion of fubjeds, into which you contrive to ing some lne rs agaiuft a pjrticu'ar perstn Now which was your mot v e for wrftirg, the consideration of the fubjed, cr iheperfonal abufc ? And, if the latter, in wLat chsrad r do you ogprfie him, as a man who is very influential, and whose errors are Intreform material to be corrected, or as one jgjiinTl whom you have f'jir.e latent reafari for dislike, a\d whose ! attack, not because you difap «-|frcve ihem but becanfe he is their author ? : I do not fuppi fe you will answer t:-is j q'ullion, n.ir that you can answer it fairly, 1 without betraying your depravity. You ; mAy fi.ppofe from the spirit of it, that he I who puts it is some frietid of the man you 1 decry, but I foltmr.ly declare I have no p rfona! acq a ntance with him. My re gaid for him arises only from my know ledge of his chara&er, and of tlvjf< benevo- i lent adi ns of his. which duri g various : seasons of public calamity have defe ved the | thnt,ks of man an . -woman. By those adions he has merited the praises and'prayers of ev. try mar, and that any should be found to withhold thein, is not bis reproach but ihvirs. JUSTICE. POLITICAL. From the Connecticut Coursnt. No. 11. To toe People of the United States. l'ilE firft p: -rpi fiticn which I have to prove, is—Mi, JefTerlon bas Jong felt a Ipirvt ot' deadly hcAiftty ggainit the Fe .ser„i Coiittitij' on, and in conjunction with bis pr y, has become lieadily plotting its tScilnKtiwrn i c iuppoit thispropofition, I fliall resort to vafivus t'curces for; evidence and argu- n.er.i. i. Mr. J. flerlon's writings furnifl) strong pro.if iir.il lie tiiilikes all government, which is Liip.ibk of affording pi. .e&iou and fecu rit; to those who live under it. About 11 0 15 yco:-s ago, Mr. Jtflferfbn publilhed his '■ Nt s god." It nei ther picks ray pccket, nor breaks my leg."* By this pafiage, we are plainly taught thjs lell'oll—that morals are 110 objed for th* attention, or care of government ; that all we have to trouble ourselves about, is, the conduct of the individuals of the com munity—a lesson which is fraught with all j the niiffhicfs which are now exhibiting, and which have for years been pradifed by the j abettors of the French ' Revolution. The ' dodriue is this—that if a riian believes in I fhere.ditude of mard'er. atheifro, rape, adul tery, &c. it is of no importance, becajßlit neither breaks our legs, nor picks our ets ; and as long as our pockets and leg-s are fafe, government is fatisfied. Let us then pi&ure to ourselves a community, compoil-J of such individuals ; for, if it is improper totontrol, or reflniiix one nntn, in the free exe'icifc of his opinions, it is equal j ly improper to control, or restrain any 11 um j ber of men. We will then view a natii n, i whose laws fuff!rr the free prop?gition of ! sentiments like these—viz.—That it is just to commit murder, violate femalj chastity, deny the exirtehce, of God, fcc. According to Mr. Jefft rfon'j ideas cf legitimate go vernment, this is just and to be tole rated, and no notice can be taken of it, un -1 til men adually do commit murder, rape, &c. But, if it is proper to preach these dodiines, why is it not to piadife them ? It ctrtainly is ; unless it is proper to intro duce a system of lyinjj into a community. However, it i» fair to'acknowledge, that . Mr. Jefferfon implies in his reasoning, that ; tho* the sentiments do no real mifchief, j yet th» jmfticc of them would. Let us fee if thepradice will not necefTa ily follow the precept. According to the dodrinr, men have anuncontroulable right to believe, j and to inculcate what moral or religious fen- 1 timents they please, provided they do not ' pradife them. Will not mtn generally ! pradife what they believe, provided they j are secure from legal punifhmeot ? Mr. ! Jefferfon's murderers, alhtills, &c. have ! nothi»g further to do, then, than to spread j their d drines, until a majority of the com- I mr.nity fliall become proselytes to the faith, and then she laws againll the pradice of murder, rape, robbery, &c. will be repeal- | ed, and the wholesome pradice introduced in its fulleft latitude- [ trust I am addrefling those, who, ge nerally, still believe in the existence of a God, of truth and justice, the momentous truths of Religion, and the hopes and fears of a future life , w! o are not yet prepared to part wi'.ti their Bible, their morals, or their God. If fj, let them seriously con fider-tbe extc t of the sentiment cf Mr. J.ffeiton wliich lam co«fid?ring. Ih »» butjull touched upon it 5 the reft mull be left for the more sober refledion of those who arc irterefted in the fate of their country. Mr. Jeffjrfon fe 3 up a claim to be our leader, our head ; to fill the feat which soce contained a Walhington. I have brought this particular sentiment into view, as con taining the feeds of those opinions, which have Cnce sprung up in the life aud writings of Mr. Jefferfon, taking it for granted that he, like ali other men. will tndeavour as far as pcfGble to intrnduce into pradice, his favorite sentiments His sentiments are, that a man has an uncontnflable right to be lieve what he pleases - mine are that, when a man can do it with fatety, he will forever pradice what he believes. The result is too obv'ous to be mistaken. I shall pur sue this f bjed in my next, by examining other pafTagcs io the fame book. BURLEIGH. 4 Kotn on Virginia, 265 To Printers.
