Cbesnut street, No. 143.
To TENCH COXE, Esquire,
Si«, • _
YOUR political career mull have taught
you that public, mes and public meafurcs
will be the fubje&s of public investigation.
In the course of the inquiry, their motives
may be mifiuterpreted, and their aftions
rnßilv and uujultly ceiifured, but their vices
can not elude the public eye—Their wealth
or their friends may aveH the merited ven
geance of their country, but they will find
no advocate at the bar of public opinion
and polkrity will join in the general cenfurr,
because unintertftcdin contefiing its jqllice.
Ambition is a patfion which never (lum
bers—Diftppointed in it*expe£lations front
the corruption of a Court it trims its bark
and sets its fails to the breeze of popularity.
Its objert still is power—fraud and deception
are still its means. There has been that
ambition, which springs from virtue and is
nourished by patriotism ; an ambition which
disdains the aid of vice. This was that
principle which flourifhed in the foil of an
tiquitv ? This was that which fired the foul
of WaOnngton ? That which has reigned in
your bosom has taught you the art of per
fuafioi), that you might be enabled to betray
—The friends who have alfifted you in your
embarraflments, have been ficrificeid at the
flwine of inteiefted ambition.
It may not be hazardous to affirm as a
general truth, that the youthful mind which
dots not glow with those sentiments, which
Adorn our nature, will never experience them
in their future career. In youth perhaps,
110 passion is stronger or more general, than
the love of our country—lf this be just,
your friends could have formed but {lender
expectations from the future life of a man,
whose youth was distinguished by nothing
but t treafon to his country.
It has been your Sir, to have been
from the days of your youth, a Have to am
bition. The things " vibicb were ef banest
and of good report," have been neglefted in
the pursuit of its dictates—without the ta
lent to judge correttly, and, without the
firmnefs wh.ch virtue inspires, to pursue
that judgment, you have failed through the
political tempt (I, and in every llorm your
bark has been Ihattered, and your reputation
has been blalled.
At au early period* you evinced yourfclf
to be devoid of those finer feelings and of
those nobler principles which prompt the
youthful mind to virtuous deeds. At that
day every ciicumflauce concurred to insure
your exertions in your country's cause. The
example of connsxions-and of friends fliould
have influenced your judgment. The pa
-4 triotifm of thp good and of the great (hould
have animatedvyour foul ? The attachment
to your native foil Ihoiild have (t'mulated
you in its defence ; —and that fame spirit of
ambition which enflavcd your foul, should
have pointed to its gratification in the storms
of revolution. But those causes, which fel
doni fail of their effeft, could not annihi
hilate that nieannefs of foul, which formed
the strongest trait in your charafter—Your
friends and your connexions and your repu
tation were forgotten, and were abandoned,
and vour,couniry marked you as a traitor to
her cause.
Yet had you remained a paflive fpe&ator
of her struggles, (lie would have attributed
it toi that fear, which has overpowered
minds much stronger than your own. Had
you remained firm to the principles which at !
that day you profeffed, Ihe might have ap- 1
phuded your firtnnefs, though you would
not have enjoyed her confidence—But it was j
rot for you to wtrp over the misfortunes of
your .country, though you wanted the firm
nefs and the courage to assist her ? It was '
slot for you to retain principles which you
'f trfltri

Deli:. Cti,
had aiioped iti the hour of danger. With
Britain.you exuUed in cl*e deprelfion of your
councry, nnd with Britain you joined in the
persecution of ypur countrymen.
Yet wh«H thfc expulsion of the enemy
proved the fallacy of vour calculations ;
when you became an alien from your friends
and from your home ; wheji you flood on
record a TRAITOR, your country with a
magnanimity which has been repaid with in
gratitude, liltened to the petitions of your
friends* and received ymu into her bofoun,
and confided to you her interests—You were
piated in a confpicuons and in an honorable
llation—You enjoyed the confidence and the
friendlhip-of Wafliington, of Adam?, and
®f Hamilton. Yet at this moment your am
bition pointed to your own aggrandizement
Dece|Aion was familiar to your foul
Your pen was employed in the defence
of your country, while you silently firove
to undermine the reputations of her Pa
triots and of her Friends. Patriotism
and friendlhip varmlhed your tongue, while
the hours ef retirement were the hours of al-
faffination. Inceirant and laborious in your
exertions to fleal into the confidence of pub
lic and of private men, you were fuccefsful
in yfi'jr fchethes. In the hour of unfuTptCl
ing confidence, and beneath the hospitable
asylum of their own roofs, you artfully in
gaged them jn convrrfation on fubje&s
which had been planned in your own
The sprightly jrl>, or tlie unmeaning meta
phor, or the theoretical (peculation were
artfully and malignantly garbed in your own
language, and minuted among your memor
anda at the hour of midnight—Disappoint
ed in obtaining the nffice of Secretary df the
Treasury at the retirement of Hamilton ;
an office to which you had the vanity to j
aspire, the AbrorA. was made the medium j
of your malignity. You enlifled with a
faftion, daring and unprincipled, and with
them you aimed the javelin at the heart of
your country. With them you affiled the
reputation of Wafliington, This Sir, was
at a time when the fandtion of an oath im
poled 011 you as a duty, the defence of the
State When the receipt of her funds
fliould have Oaidvo'ur ungrateful attack—
you wi re detedled in your schemes—you
neglefted your duty—you quarrelled with
your fuptriors, and you were informed that
"your servicel were no linger required."
\ou made an idle appeal to the Legislature
of your Country, and that Legislature b.y
declining an interference, fan&ioned your
difiniflal. You now no longer ftro*e or
wifli- d to keep your machinations fecret—
confidential conversations, and private, and
unguarded correspondence were brought
through the medium of the Aurora before
tlie public bar. Your friends were betrayed.
Your enemies were slandered. The man
whose friendfhip for you obtained the re
versal of yo|ir attainder, was not secured.
His observations you have perverted, and
his fricnaOtip you have repaid with ingrati
tude. " .
And what lias been v the motive for such
conduft ?
That you might ferv« a worthy agent,
under the tyrannical and the perfecutincf
idminiftration of tin; Governor of Pennsyl
vania. That you may serve under the an
miniftration of Jrflferfon.
Sir, you have reaped the reward of your
condufl—your enemies despise your
connexions avoid you- They fear to c
verl'e with you, least their obfei vatioir
might be perverted and detailed in the Ga
zettes. They, who difter from you in po-
litical sentiment, will not conveife with one
whom they cannot but detest ; while they
wl)o harmonise with you, will not place it
in your power, to betray their confidence
at a future day.
This, Sir, is the firft communication I
have held with you, but it may not be the
lash I have c|iof;n to give it publicity my
self, that the tijne which ftuiuld be devoted
to your qfficial (lation might not be occu
pied by you in preparing it for the Press.
