Gazette of the United States ! M Ol ./ PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVKNING, OCTOBER 11. ' Ma. Waynk, SIR, I FIND yonr paper continues to make me ' !l rP t " a, ai!ce I but as Mr. Duane is one of the ail ebjefl of personal attack. Having been r, '°" tinpjKrtial printers, the public may ex confined in Prison, it has not been in my P t0 ' ct * t ' le advertifrment alluded to, m power to repay infolenre by pcrlci;;i chnt- p*Jier the I ilk of Odober. tifement, and 011 my coming out, I have | October 10. been bound over to good behaviour ior twelve ' months, my felt in i«oo, and two iureties in •£Oo dollars each. It is perfedUy confident ■with the cowardly politics of your party to insult where you think you can do it with Impunity, and if you will proceed in abuling me without provocation and while I am de prived of the power of repelling it properly, you mod ; but ii I continue to be the object ot your abul'e, I shall not forget to do mylelf justice, when I can »io it without injury to my friends. October 10, ISOO. Id?" The above was presented me yester day afternoon, by a Man, whom I never law before, but who from his converlation ap peared to be a Foreigner j he was accompani ed by Dr. Reynolds. After I had read the letter I observed, as a hint for them to leave my office, that "it was very well." After fay ing this 01.e of them wished to give me a lit tle advice and said •' he wished to have peace, but if I was not silent Mr. Cooper and his friends would " here I flop'd them short by observing, that " Cooper and his friends nay, do as they please, 1 lhall adt;as I think proper" and left them abruptly, as they went «ut of the office door muttering. In thf above lett r the Public may fee the ireans, resorted to by the Jacobins, to pre vent their infamy from being exposed. An American Editor, a native of Pennsylvania, -whilst publishing a paper in the capital of the United States, is threatened by a Foreign fugitive for expoling his infamous designs upon the Government and People. " Liberty of the Press" is conllantly rung in our ears by the Jacobins, but the mo ment that Liberty is used againlt the moll infamous and abandoned characters in so ciety, if they he Democrats, threats of vengeance are immediately used in hopfrs to intimidate the Printer- Should Mr. JefTer fon, and his friends once (jain the ifcendan cv, we venture to predidl, that no Editor will tifk the publication of Truth, when it is against them for if he do he will mod alTuredly rift -(Taflinauon ; the People may then hug their Chains in lilence, their complaints will be compared to the " workings of small beer." The above let ter from Cooper, a fellow lately come to the country, and just punished for a liSel 011 the Pref.deut, is a specimen of unparallelied im pudence. Mr. Cooper, SIR. Your lnfolent letter, conveying your threats of vengeance, I despise, as much as Ido the author of them. I (hall pursue the line of my duty, and expose you to my fel low-citizens whenever your conJuftdeferves it. Wh«tever_your situation may be, I know you have comrades who would not lufitate to aft a bloody part to oblige you, but they and you, if your threats are carried into execution, shall not do it with impunity, as I lhall at nil times be jvepared to do wy fclf justice 011 any villain who may make the daring attempt. One of'the sorry Poetafkrs in the Aurora is so wretchedly deficient in the lowrfl ele ments of rhyme that he reminds us of little D;ck Distich in the Tatler, who, as Sir Richard Steel humourously narrates, " was famous, many years ago, for writing a Song, and a half, and is now far gone in an Epi gram of two lines ! With reverence fpcikiug He never was a poet of God's making The midwife laid her hands on his thick fkdll, With this prophetic hlefling—Be thou dull- Drink, fwjir, and roar—forhear no lewd delight, Fit for thy balk, do any thing—but write— Eat ratlbanc,mingle arfTeric with thy drink, Still thou mayeft live, avoiding pen and ink. Duane and his cowardly complottcrs are co-nplete.y choaked by the late p blic proofs of their falrtiood, refpedting the ;harafter and conduft of the Revd. Mr. Abes csombie. By " a plain tale" he has -* put down" thefc " lying Jacki" of de mocracy, who display the cowardice, pre varication, and falfhood of FalftafF, with out his wit and humour. We are sincerely rejoiced to find that the public indignation is rouzed againll an Irish and desperate brawler, who presumes to calumniate an amiable clergyman for honetlly uifcharging his <. hriftian duties. Mr. A, amid honest views, and " in conscious virtue bold," can always find El Preftdium, et decus, both his ftrengi'u and his pride. But there are not wanting to his defence, when necessary, a numeous land, who have not learned to talk prophaucly of T-wenti Gods, or none ; and we exult to find that the Christian Fortress is gallantly, as well as nunieroufly defended. / K7* William Robinson (the elder) South Front Streett No. 330, presents his moll refpeflful e'otuj liments to Mr. William Du nne, Editor of the Aurora, and mofl llnfcerely thanks him, for his politrnefs in giving the Old Whig of '76 a lift 4n the bufinrfs that W.

JACOBIN LIESJ ADD Juror? Forgeries, Detected. For the Gazette of the United States. TO THE PUBLIC ONE William Rogers having been indu ced to make ;i Declaration, purporting that " I threatened to have him ind.cted for High Trtason if be -mould not sign a " pro test against the meeting at Stab-Town ■ and aho reiincjusb Ibt off.cerfj committee man undc that meeting 1 do. Hereby De clare, tbat tbe whole of that publication, as far as it respects me, is absolutely false. The truth.is this ; I was at Mr. Hatkinson's Tavern one day lad week—a captain Ro gers, Brctiier of WiLiam, informed the com pany that his Brother's name was tiled as one of the commit!, e, without his knowledge, and he believed he disapproved of it. Some time rfirr Wm. Rmgers ca/ne into the ruom ; I a Iked him if he was at Slab-Town and autharifed his name to be used he answer ed in the negative. I mentioned to him, that if i e disapproved of the appointment, it would be right for him to make it public, to that it might be known how his name happened to be there, a-*} aflced him if he intended to adl wnder that appointment. His answer was, «« that he did not know ; be understood there way some bad Govern ment." I asked him what he understood : He laid '• he was told that President Adams had made way with a great sum of public money." On receiving this answer and perceiving the man was Very injurant, I broke olf furthe.- conversation. As to drawing up a protest and offering ii to him, or using any fort of threat as ftnted in his certificate, the whole of fucb Statement is without foundation ; and is merely thrown out by some unprincipled men, as an Elect ioneering Trick.
