TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS?
A letter from " A Mechanic" is received.
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.
The letter of A. C. in this day's paper,
is curious and important. The circumflance
of our country being exposed to so many
desperate ard fugitive outlaws is highly
alarming.
