Philadelphia August 23, 1800. TO THOMAS JEFFERSON", 7'ice Prtjident of the Un ii d Statu. Sir, IT is a serious and important question to the pe. pie of America, whether a Presi dent of the United States, is not competed in consequence of an implied obligah n, to pursue a system of policy dictated by the spi'it f the party which elevated him It this is the fact, a!l-import.itit question then arises—what are the principles of the Party ? A-'d if ther are calculated to insure the public happiness. I have endeavored in a former letter to developr the nature of Jacobinism, and to prove how little it accords with the princi pies of good government and religion per mit me now fir to detail its loc»l objetts, •which have refi rence to the Federal Govern ment. When the depredations on our coramero committed by French cruilers, became so extensive, as seriously to injure our t>ac> government permitted the merchantmen to arm in their own defence, and fitted cut seve ral veflrls of war, as a further security to to the tr ide—the benefits reflating to the country in general, from this measure were immediately felt—the piemium 011 Insur ance, was greatly and our com merce, refforrd to the channels, from which it had been driven hy the Cruisers of France ; Yet this wif- measure was highly difappro vedofthe Jscobins, in and out of dnors, and every means used to prevent iti exacu t> n. When the danger to he apprehended fro m France, was imminent ind to arise in a great detrree, from the clnfe pol;tical connexion of the two countries, Congress declared the treity, between them, void and no loner binding on the Ur,it«d States, this, together with the alien bill, which em powers the Prrfident, to remove from the country all ali 11s, (particularly pointing at French emilT.iries) fol'pfcAed to be enimical to the government, and to the wellfare of the Nation—were ftrangly objedted to, by your party, as unconstitutional, and impoli tic, although it was well eftablidied, that the United States had received the greatefl injuries, and that the mod serious dangers, were to be apprehended from aliens residing areong us, A Navy to a commercial pf.ople, is allow ed by every Political writer, to be a natural and wife institution—it is a fafe guard to -the chief source of revenue in the country, and by rendering trade secure, extends, trd promotes it. Yet the navy eftablilhment, has been a llrong ground of oppufitisn among the Jacobins, to the present administration. When the French Government, in order to rid itftlf of its armies (from which it lrad well grounded fears) were fending them to the mod distant part of the earth for plun der and umployment ; it was reafona(jly fufpedW by our government, that, as the United States offered obje&s of temptation and allurement to a French army—there was tai.fe to fear an invifion ; and to avoid a danger of such great magnitude, or to fneet it with advantage when it fliould ar rive, Cingrefs in their wisdom raifrd and organized an army of defence, which was fcelieved to be a measure that rould nut be u hive round ly aiTerted that these things have been done by the officers ol government for tneir private emolument that the people have >een abufcd and infulttd, and o'ppreflVn entire newi grounds* This is the belief, Sir, of the bulk of vour party ; they believe that for this the ' rty was formed; that our present rulers ire weak and dVfhoncft men, intent on pi . vat'* gain } that without the change th- y w II never be happy ; and that this revolu tion fur the better will be wrought by your •ledum to the Prelidency. These are the views of the great m«fs of the Jacobin party ;y >u hive agreed to be its champion ; and you dare not fiy from v Ur agreement ; y >u dare not desert your principles, tor if you (hould the party will desert you, and turn to be your bitterest f>e ; there will be iro trimmin • then ; you will have taken your ground, and w.llbecom- K-.'led to hold it ; death might be the con s quence of deferring your pod. Our be loved Governor lias ft It the full force of this truth, ard daily hears it in the curses of thousands and the hitter complaints of in digence. His friends must be gratified ; the man who raised him to office Jjiuft let the reward ; and although traitors, thieves nnd foreigners are of the number,, they were 1-a ;ers of the party and mull be compenfa trd as such ; it was a part r>f the (yftem to reward these men, and 'he Governor had not the power to You, Sir, will have to be as compliant as y our friend, and the whole face of American aifms mnft be changed, it is a fundamental principle of the party. Permit me now, Sir, to investigate the characters of those men who stand highell on the J icobin lift next to yourfelt', and on whom the firft offices of your government will devolve. Perhaps lam not wrong in supposing that Mr. Madison will be felerted as your prime minister. Let us pursue this man to his phihfnphic retreat, where like the nightly ail (fin h« lurk* in the dark to corceal the deathly blow aimed at the liberties nf his country ! What will we find him meditating on there, but schemes of vengeaoce ? Di'app.-.intcd ambition knows no bouiid .

He has ever since continued a violent oppofer of General Wafliington nd Mr. Adams's administration. 1 hat mode! of dip omatic purity, that /ini of Frenchphil'fophy the c»er intamoui Mon r»e who w rktd f.i l/ard night nd day to facrifice his councry to Fiance a ->d tot 3 htr unprincipled Rulers that the People of the United States w<>uld cheers ully fu >- mit to any demands that would be necef iary for the interell of their ally will also have his proportion of the honors and profits of the government. The claims of ihefe men Sir, upon you will be extenfiv , and if y u do not give them their full, they will point 10 the bloody and injamout charter of your rights violated snd infri ged, and wilt redeem its purity by hurl ng vou from the giddy height to which your miserable am bition will have led you.
