M. M'CONNEtL,
CBukue strecti No, 143.
We regret the Letter from Lancas
ter, signed " a Citizen,'' came too late: for
insertion this day.
Nothing but the turpitude ef their de
signs, is more confpicuoifs among the
Jacebins than their industrious endea
vburs to deceive; although, from the
folly of their plans, they have been foiled
in a thousand attempts, they are zealous
ly. pursuing a' thousand more, equally
weak. Their ill fucrefs, instead of
having taught them prudence, has made
them more bold. Frequent detection,
instead of inducing them to use more
cunning, has caused them to aft, as tho'
none were necelfary. And from a con
fta'it disregard of all laws, they have at
length'haWtuated themselves to a total
■violation of all moral obligations.
This is evinced in their recent at
tempt to palm upon the world, as the
production of the fpir'ited and witty
Portupine, a stupid Jacobinical Pam
phlet, which they call the Rush Light
No. 6, which is undoubtedly written
by some American-Unitcd-Iriih scrib
bler.
Every person of the least judgment,
who reads one page of this stupid and vi
cious pamphlet, will be convinced, from
internal evidence only, that it never
came from the head or the heart of
William Cobbett.
The public are allured that it is a vile
forgery, and (notwithstanding the re
peated aflertions of the Republican
Bookseller, his having received it from
England) that it is altogether Penn/yiva
man.
Matthew Ditto knows the writer ;
James C—y, the printer ; and Mrs. S—,
in south Third l'lreet, the person who
Hitched them, and sept them to the Re
publican Bookstore.
Upon the bed authority we slate that
.the Secretary of State has not yet re
ceived any intimation ot the conclusion
of a treaty between the United states
a«d France.
There are 15 candidates for the pod
of chaplain to the House of Representa
tives of the United States.
The Electors in Maryland will be, it
is expected, equally divided.
Tie gentlemen appointed, by the Legisla
ture of MaffacbuiVtU, to choose Eletlort of
Prrefident and Vice Prtfidelit are all true
Bederal Republicans and will vote Unani
mously for Adams apd
nckney. —At the

AtjfSWER of the SEM ITE t ■ the GOV
ERNOR'S SPEECH.
May it please your ExctJhncy,
| IT having been generally «nd.-rflood, that
! the objeft of the Legiflnturr, in ;iflembli rig
at this ieafon of the year, is tlie -ppointnient
of Ele£V;ood Government! and that the result may
promote the belt intrefts of our country.
It is matter of regret, that any of our
fellow citizens fho.utd be foloft to a sense of
their duty and interest, as to set the power of
Government at • defiance, and oppose their
individual Ifiength to that of the communi
ty, So far as may depend on us, your Ex
cellency may be assured that proper means
will be adopted to i'upprels such pernicious
evjls.
We are gratifed with the information,
which your Excellency has communicated
with refpeft to our unproved flat" of our
Militia. We feel confident, that so much
dependence is to be placed on their difciplmc,
courage and patriotism, that their Country
has more to fear from the arts than from
the arms of her enemies.
ANSWER OF THE HOUSE.
. May it please your Excellency,
THE House ofUeprelentatives concur with
your Excellency in the sentiment, that the ob
jedt of their prelent fefiion is highly interefling,
not only to our immediate coultituent*, but to
the Whole people of the United States, fincetSe
welfare and prosperity of a Ration essentially
depend on the chandler of their magistrates ;
and the wisdom with wnich their government
is adminifftred, Scriouflyi.-npr. fled with this
sentiment, it fkall be our zealous endeavour to
feleifl thole who are to five their fuffrages in
'his State, in the ensuing important eledlion
from the bed int rmed citizens, and who have
afT.irde l pi*oofs of their attachment to order and
good govern rnent —And may that wile and gra
cious Providence, which has hitherto direcite>l
the counfch, and prospered the exertions of the
American people, overrule and diredl our deli
berations upon this occasion for the public
good !
While we learn with fatisia&ion that tran
quility generally prevails thrcughout the Com
monwealth, wt receive with regret the painful
information, that in one C* unty some misgui
ded and deluded.citizens have been guilty of
violent infraif ions of the peace ot the Common
wealth, and have manliefted a Ipirit of tefiftance
to the law
Yi>nr Excellency, and the good citizsns of
the State, may be allured, that this Houle will
co-operate in all proper measures to deteil and
punifli all futh enormities already commuted,
and to prevent, as far as poffib e, the commif
Ron of them info: ur> : —F< • they are lu y con
vinccd with your Excellency, that indiffereact
on 'he part of the Government, will feijv* to
embolden the offenders, anJ to invite by a hope
of impunity, the repetition o! similar outrages
The unusual improved state oi the militia,
which your Excellency has noticed, niuft be
highly gratifying to every friend t» the rights
a:;d dignity of ouj country ; for with a Militia
thus trained, and animated with pairiotic and
military ardor, America will not hesitate 'oal
