j Gazette of the United States. PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday kvexing, Movimrib .4. To TFNCH COXE, Esquire. S I R, A PERSON who has known yoa almdft from your cradle, now, from a sense of duty to the public, fits down to write a sketch of your political life for twenty-five years path This is drawn forward in coitfequence of your letter of the sth.of Oftjber, 1800 Your having there undertaken to inveftijrate the pretensions of John Adams to the Pre sidency of the United States, gives fair and legal ground, (in order that your tellimony pay have only a weight) for any one in che fame public maimer to difcul's how far your pretensions to th"haraaer of a man of honour, integrity and republicanism are en titled to credit : to do this is my intention. I remember you w.-Il in the year 1775, a violent whig ; in your conversation lbme t what intolerant, and an officer in our army (the militia being at that time the army of the country). About the time the Bmifh and Hessian troops arrived at New-York. I re coiled you grew more temperate, and after a little while began to rail against Indepen dence. In speaking of Britifli power and our weakness, your arithmetic soon discover. Ed to your friends that you were preparing for either fide. Towards the latter end of '76, the success of the Britifli army, having ■-i —conquered all New-Jersey from New-York to (lfCiJed roincL, fate of our devoted country, and determined you to make a merit of an early treachery. Ac cordingly you deserted and joined that army, in company with Andrew Allen : At this time you were 24 years of age ; my word for it you are not a day less than 48 now I hope, therefore, we (hall hear no apologis ing for this aft on account of your youth. Your country, however, afterwards mani fefted its forgivenefs.; but we who know the fadt cannot readily forget your fubfequeht criminality. The Britifli army in their next campaign set off upon ail expedition which promised 1 more success in destroying the exigence of ; ' our republic: You embarked and landed with 1 * it *t the Head of Elk, and marched in tri- ' umph over the field of battle at Brandywine 1 (trampling under your feet the blood of your 1 countrymen) to Philadelphia, and entered ' that city at the head of Lord Cornwallis's. 1 dtvifion, amidst the exultihg huzzas for King 3 George—This we fee was in 1777 :_And 1 thus you continued, with the army of your 1 king, until 1778, whe» you saw the cause of monarchy becoming desperate you once \ more changed your fide—you had now be- ® come wile enough to find out a new way of defertingby what is called shrinking, which you did by letting that army go off and leave you in Philadelphia. Thrown a trembl-ng cowarJ on the clemency and meicy of your injured country, you were then permitted to remain quietly in this city, where you lome time afterwards commenced a violent politician and persecuted with unnecessary malignity the party to which you are now attached ; at the orffanizuion of the Fede • ral Government, you were as your views then led you to be. a violent Federalill, and the fir (I who puflied off to New-York in quest of office ; and notwitliflanding all you fay of your merits and various appointments, yoa could not inspire confidence enough in you, to obtain any except a subordinate em ployment under Mr. Hamilton, from whence by the dint ot intrigue, you puflied on to the climax ot all it was possible you could ever obtain from men who knew you. It •was time therefore for another change- Accordingly in 1796 you began to worlhip the rising Sun ; it did not appear unlikely then, but that at the approaching eledlion, Mr. Jcfferfou would be chofcn President of the United States. You, after much cal culation, laid it would be so, and laid your accounts tor that event, by publifhitlg a pamphlet upon the demerits of Mr. Adams. On your plans and fchemei failing, you lay apparent y (fill, until, as rep< rt fays, your disagreement with the Secretary of the Trea sury, with whom you had to do buGneft, cauled you to be difmifled from office, from which time you became openly an avowed Jacobin ! The foregoing is a fair and temperate, flcetch of your life and condud lince 1775 ; it con urns the truth, and isgenerally known in Philadelphia to be so. lam aftuated by no resentment towards you ;on the contrary ;t the the harfli tarms of deserter coward, kc. could be supplied by others, equally applicable to your cafe, they should not appear in this paper. I write for the public only, who ought to know the cha racter ot a nun w.io becomes a public wlt nefs and a public acculer at to important a crilis. The pamphlet or book I allude to your late letter—and this narrative of your ad ventures, mud be viewed as ftreng proofs of what depraved nan, deflitute of prinsi ple and cloathed with '.ujblufhing impudence, can do. Here I hope my Countrymen will t attentively read and recoiled the fads, that you, who have been a deserter from the ar my (»r fay country) of liberty, and joined •mercenaries tinder a monarch to destroy Re publicanism, now come forward and dare in a public Hewfpap :r to call on Federalists to ask themselves »' whether the honor and interests of this country have been more ' faithfully nvd zealously manifested by any man s*nce the battle of Lex*ngton than by yourself!''—that you have the audacity to remind the republicans of your fuffrring as a martyr in the cause of liberty, and to console them amidst all," that you are yet firm ! This is not more ludicrous than it m is to fee you taking the lead in accufiug J ohn Adam? of monarchifm, who was at itoe time yon deserted, (and when your ser vices were wanted along - with our old fellow soldiers and comrades, who fought and bled that winter at the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and during the whole tim* yeu were ihoffiing and cutting all those capers at the fouktrying day of our troubles, when your country was bleeding at every pore) found at the pod of danger, riiking every tiling near and dear to him in defence of our icpublic. You appear, (take the Piflure as portray ed by yourlelf), to have bees one of the di flinguilhed, firm and parfevering Heroes that atchieved our Revolution, and eftab. lifhed our Government, by artfully palling over without much notice the charges pub licly exhibited again!) you, and boaftingly fwelliog out the lift of your appointments. It is true that the lederalills, sometime after your crusade against the liberties of your countty, were more compleatly cheated by your hypocrisy than the Jacobins were, or are now ; did enlist you into their service, and pus you principally on their partizan- Ikirmifhing. It is a painful truth to ac knowledge that when politics run high, there are jobs to be performed that no man but a new convert, or one wilhing to ob tain acharader he has no title to, will un dertake—io far as these were affigued to [ you, so far their tonduft may be said to be judicious, and your's very politic, tor in the end, you procured for ysurfelf through them the appointment of Representative in Congress, or rather to that little bit or fug end of the poor old Congress after it was de ceased.—The cafe was thus ; when the new government was about to be organized, there were a few straggling members of the old left at New-York, I suppose about a doten, and our Legislature a few weeks be fore the former were to meet, thought it might be well enough to fend a representa tion to be in waiting to bury the one, and introduce the otherinto the world with a decent ceremony : They never made a houl'e however, and so you never were a member of Congress or of any other legal body in America. I recolleft well that when you were appointed, the office was despised and went a begging ; yet no sooner was it known that the choice had fallen on you, than a prodigious uproar was made, and the ail very publicly, and I may fay, almost universally condemned : and to the honor of Republicatfil'm be it said, that although liner your Apoftacy you have wormed your feif by other means into office, as relHefs unceafiug office hunters generally can do, yet you never, nocwithftanding you have made many attempts, were entrusted with the fufTrages of your countrymen. For about twelve years part your charac ter and conduit have been objecls of public difcuflion, firft by one party afterwards by the other : in the various aniairadverfions which I hive seen, I have a long time obser ved that they have precHrly coincided in de fining the great motives of your coildyft, ! and that althq they have written, wUat you term abuse, yet in the opinion of all I ever conversed with, of whatever party, I have always beared it agreed that they have both written the truth. In (hort take all their publications together, they would form the best hift'iry that could pofflibly be written of your life, and prove, if what every body lays be only somewhat near the truch, that was monarchy going to be eftaoliflied here, and you could get promotion undei it, you would be the firft man in America to chop about, draw your pen in its defence, and as- Uft by tha: weapon to proflrate those liber ties which yon once hoped to have seen dene by the ford of a monarch !—Nay more, was the religion of thechurch of Rome to he eftablilhed, and the embracing that com munion made a uecefiary qualification to of fice, you would be seen treading down your smaller neighbours in order to be foremoft, gravely to kneel at the alter, swallow the euchnrift, k then cry Heretic !as you did Rebel! when with the Britilh army; Subscription Balls.
