We regret that he should have so entirely tnifconceived the sense of a paragraph in the Gazette of July 31, which contained .an acknowledgment to the author of report of the proceedings of a mob at the State- House. In that acknowledgment the above reporter is thanked for exposing the crude politics of a " set of mde mechan icals, who gain their bread upon .the city stalls." Thi. has offended.the person who signs himlelf •' A Mechanic," and we ate charged with a design to infultthat necef- Ouy, ufeful and relpe&able body of men ! Nothing was farther from the intention of trie Editor; and the Mechanic" has from flight pretnifes drawn a mol) erroneous con cluflon. The above ofFenfive which has fo ; much fuperfluous indig nation, is nothing but a quotation froth The Midlummer Night's Dream of Shakes peare, and was employed for no other pur pose, than to ridicule unqualified persons for intermeddling with questions, alien to their ftudiesand incompatible with their vo cation., It was intended to expsf* the ig norant, restless, and democrettic mechanic, and not the order itfclf, nor the skil/ul and ingenious members, which compote it. Let the article in question be liberally con strued, and perused by the eye of difcriroi nation, and the Editor will be fully acquit ted in Candour's court of the charge of de faming men, ufeful and indubious. He has been thus minute in explanation from an anxiety not to have his sentiments per versely understood. It is a terrible exac- eod6t tion, when the condu&or of a paper is re quired to furtiifh essays, paragraphs, news and remarks, and then to fapply eyes and cars, and understanding, apprehension and judgment. The Editor, partial to a nume rous and aflive description of persons, among whom he enumerates both the pri vate friend, and the generous fubfiyiber, is studious to destroy mifconftrutlion, and to pay tribute, to whom tribute is due. But no more of apologies. It is fit that the public fliould understand that this is an indepkndpnt paper, in the broadest sense of the word, and that its conduflor will not depart from what he conceives to be orthodox in politics ; morals and litera ture to please no man, or set of men. The Gazette of the United States is under the direction of no Board of Controul, is Ribjected to no Inu-:x Expurgatorius. Nor do its writers cherish the vitionary idea of pleating men of all parties, and exciting universal complacencj. No ; in times, like the present, when men contend acrimonious ly for clashing creeds, this is impossible. Besides, if a person, iike an edit#r, who (lands at the avenue of public opinion, were to apologize, and explain to every one, who comes up; to day dulcifying, what is declared to be too sour, and to-morrow diluting what is infilled upon to be too strong, theie would be no end to his sneaking compliance, and capricious verf t lity. Of such ir.eannefs, and of such rainbow politics, the writer of this article is well known to be no disciple. For nearly four year* lie directed a village paper, at that time fuffieiently approbated by the friends to energetic government, and to general literature. But, from Oftober 1795, when that responsible station was taken, un til the September of 1799, when it wa? re linquished, he did not depart—no, not for a moment,' from the uncontrolled principles upon which The Farmer's Museum was insti tuted. If, since that perisd, others have changed, that, to use a Gallic idiom, is their affair. He has never changed ; and frown or blandifliment would be alike ineffeilually employed to induce him to abjure his faith. With this frank and well considered declar ation, he concludes this explanatory article : Confident that no Hedfaft man will censure him for the (table and the conltant, that no generous inan will upbraid him for ardency of zeal, honestly exerted—and that r>©-can did man will require him to encounter the endless drudgery of " reftifying absurd mis apprehension," and of apologizing to all tne diflatisfied.
