" The French proverb fays that there are
honed men, even in hell ; where I (liould
indeed as loon think of looking for them,
as anions; that class of mortals called Jaco
bins. I will not fay there is 110 such thing
as an honed Jacobin, but I mud own it
has never been my lot to meet with one, and
have in dances ot the contrary multiplying
upon me every day, Christian charity bids
u?. hope all things, but not to believe all
things, and I lh >uld think my property just
as fafe in the hands of a Jacobin, as in those
of a convitted thief. I know not whether
you will think these fentiivrnts illiberal, but
these are times, and this is a fubjeft that
admit not of liberality. The utmod candor
I can fliew to a Jacobin is not to ti ud him ;
for then I believe of him that lie will not be

Extract from Essays on Political Society—
now printing by Mr. William Young.
" The American Congiefs, under their
rxilting conflitution, affords a eonfpicuotis
illuflration of general principles of moral
policy.
None of the ancient or modern leagues,
none of the ancient or modern governments,
in the Old World, exhibits so perfeft a na
tional model for municipal legislation upon
the eledtive fyflein. French vanity, indeed,
has eulogized their policy as the fublimefl
monument of human reason. But the de-
of the firll edition of government
which they call a couftitution, were proved
by its being overthrown alnioft as soon as
it commenced operations : It became obso
lete in its infancy. The next projett, to
which was given the name of constitution,
was conceived under the ascendant of Ro
b.fpierre. This thing 1 , even its parents,
had not the confidence to exhibit to the
French, for their opinion. The third French
edition of government, called the constitu
tion of year three, appeared to have more
firinnefs of texture, and to b: more capable
of duration. Its exterior form, indeed, has
been continued, while the brain and the
heart, as far as i; had any, were anatomized
by order of such as direttcd the armed
force.
Can the French Council of Ancients claim
the honor of competing with khe American
Seriate ? Is it equally formed far dignity,
for Vifdom and (lability ?
Shall the French Council of Five Hun
dred pretend to rival the American House
of Representatives as a popular chamber of
legislation ? The triennial elettion of the
members of that Council, the interposal of
an elefloral aitembly between them and the
people, the annual rotation of one third of
the members, the forced elettion of two
thirds, w*re these the bell expedients which
theboafted French fk ; ll could devise for fe
curihg popular liberty ?
The French legislature, if their two Coun
cil merit the name since the Fruftidorian
fuhjugation, is a duplicated revolutiensry
ariftoiracy ; mutilated by pentarchal usur
pation ; nominally regulated by forms,
which, at the bidding of the pentarchs, va
nilh before a decree of urgencyj
Whether the framers of the American
conllitution controlled by an happy ne
cessity of political Atuation ; whether their
profound acquaintance with the most cor
ie£l theories of government determined the
frame of the system ; or whether a manly
force rf Blind, combined with fcientific
skill, aided by much perlbnal experience, and
influenced by a refpeftful attention to pre
conceived opinions, led tq a f\ stem so origi.
nal in its general ftrurture, so intervolved
in its parts, so compadl-d by the aflociation
of the whole ; whether and how far any or
all of these catifes iperated to produce the
American constitution, one thing is cer
tain 1 lie citizei g of the New World
have abundant cause to felicitate themselves
«n their political tlefliny. The American
nation has now a municipal Icgiflature con
llictited to «« provide for the common d-fence
" and general welfare."
Just as our paper was going to press we
received the returns from Chester Cuunty,
by which it_appears that the Federa'ifts hive
carried the eleftion by 159 votes—except

A graceful person, with an easy air,

A heart at once by love and glory warm'd,
With modest worth,and truepolitenefsjoin'd

" You are so bent oa politics, that I

if you and I have hitherto been mistaken ;
the event I hope will be favorable ; but no
wife has changed my opinion—nay, so
clearly do I conceive the principles of our
Democrats t» be wrong, that were it left to
my determination. 1 would freely make
choice of beii.g governed by Buonaparte

ty and tyranny of our Democrats, manifef
ted in the late proceedings of
I fuppofc it would not be ledition only, but
also little treason, to find fault with the ma
jority of our legislature—who, it is said, are
the people.—Our ticket law, however, for
appointing Eledors to choose a -Prefiydent,
and a Vice-President, will be a lading mon
ument of the loft liberties of the di ft re fled
and deluded people ; and an eternal Sigma
on the boasted justice of true republican go
