SIX months have elapsed, since the pre sent Editor of th s Gazette, became its sole proprietor, by purchase, from Mr. jno. W. Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at this period, to Hate feme particulars relative to it, at, and sinCe the time when it became his eflablifliment. The Gazette of the United States, had from its commencement, been condu&rd, at different periods, ty two gentlemen, of acknowledged talents and refpedlability, hence it merited and obtained countenance from a very numerous and icfpeftable class of the community. It was, therefore, reasonably concluded ; -that on its becoming the pro perty of another, w|io from several years abfenc- from his native city, was recognized only by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previoiirty honored it by their support, weuld withdraw their nar.i»s.— This was partially the cafe ; —but so far from realizing the fears entertained on this paint,. not one fourth of the number contem plated, have rellnquilhea. Th.s. a lone was a favourable omen, but it is infinitely more gratifying to obferv#, that, the numbers ad ded to hu fubfcriptK.n lift, have exceeded lift calculations tioo-fold. In the Advertising department, many favours are aclttiowedgcd, 4)ut as on this particular, refls the ability to meet large, pecuniary, weekly difbuifenients, it is found r quifite to solicit a more liberal fup pntt. This paper, exclusive of the number cir culated ib this City, is read in every tdwn, of any Importance, in the United States, and in the advertising line, will be found highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the Community. It will be deemed fuperfluous, at this time, to enter into a detail of the political principles of the Editor, —the motives which a&uite hmi, and hie general plan of editing They are now universally known, and it is highly pleasing to find, that they are gene rally approved of, by a relpe£table portion of the community, 'Who have fanftioned, that approbation with their names and purfts. It may be observed by fiime homed, wor thy men, that the style of the Gazette is foitietimes violent, and that private per- foils, are at those times attacked.—To the charge of violence he fibjefts, that of warmth is cheei fully admited -and he will here obferve,»"that advocating truth, and the deateft intereOs of his country, he feels a zeal, which he thinks, and they on reflexion must admit, is laudable. Those who objett to his giving full scope to his feelings on this fßbjeft, will do well to consider, that he has to contend with an unprincipled, daring, and aspiring ta&ion ; who threaten eveiy thing virtuous, with total subversion, —whQi'e only arguments are falfehood ar.d calumny. Private charafters are held fscred, gener ally speaking, but When turbulent aliens and naturalized citizens, become bav'ers at Town Meetings, and write Libel after Libel on "the firft characters in our country ; —When they fan&ion with their detested names, the molt glaring falfchoods and the vileit detrac tion, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such trsn and those onlv has the Editor dragged before the American peo ple ;he has opposed them, and will conti nue to eppofe them, and from the ftrongefl ties of attachment to America, he will un ceafmgly combat with all the means in his power, the infiduous and inveterate fees to this country whether foreign or domestic, under whatever fpeciotis garb they may pleatc to afiumc. Lancastf.is, November 20. To the Editor of the Gazette of the United SIH, j • I have observed that you have published my hrft letter to you, on the fubjed of the pitTrnt diipute in tlie AfTcmbly. Indulge n.e if you pleas.* in a few oblervations, and then I lhall have done with the luoje^t. 1 he spirit ot Jacobinifln rages with inex*. hauilible fury through our unhappy ftate— >icre is its central point; and here i's nu merous branches meet with united force and energy error is the ford upon which it eeds—but intentional wrong is a powerful •tnxithii y ; the fir ft entraps the deluJtd mob —the latter is the ground work of needy but cunning hypocrite 4,; A flop mull be put to itsprogrefa ; or else our State, per haps our Country may fall a viaim to its fury. Recoiled* Sir, its hiltory in Eng land ; the Hoi.fe of Lords made a druggie to check its career, and maintain the Con stitution ; and the Hoelfe of Lords was voted by the Cj 111 mops a useless and lexpenfive branch of the Legislature—the vote was named into full operation ; this is an in ftru&ive, and momentous lesson for the peo ple of America ; for men of property who have every thing to lose by a revolution, and the Senate in particular. But I will Sir again attempt by plain and honelt argument to open the eyes of my blinded countrymen. We are told by these daring Jacobins, that the Senate would rob us of our Right 1 j-°_ an eleOion, by refuting to concur in a 1 joint vote ; this vote we are told is the only legal one. When the people believe they have been cheated of their rights, by one branch of the Lt giflaturCi and that branch the Aristocratic ojic toe—it is an easy tmi fit ion for them to believe, that this brsnch is use less, tyrannic and expensive—so deplorable an event is not an impossible, or even an improbable ®ne. If it occurs, it will reduce our Legislature to one house, and that house be Governed by men who have thus infla med the public mind ; the greatest poflible excess of Jacobinifin may then reafonakly be expefted. I have in a former letter observed to you Sir, that two branches in the Legislature were thought neceflary to check the hafly and factious proceedings, which would pro bably result from only one house—is this mutual controul is believed eflential on triffling fubj-£ls ; if in the parting a bill to build a bridge, open a road, or grant relief to a petitioner, a check is deemed r.ecefT.ry | for the security of our liberty and property ; Ihonld it not, in the all important, and i very serious political question of choosing I EledWs for a Pr-fident and Vice Prefidert ol the Union, be thought indispensably ne ceflary ? Are the great national confequcn ces arising from this elecTicn, securely lodg; ed in the hands of one house of the Legisla ture, while we are so tender of our rights and privileges 011 the local and inferar Considerations of opening a canal ; dividing a comity, or fijein k the feat of Government ? 1 his bold Inr id on our freedom now at tempted by the House of Representative l Ihould (walfo* up in the contemplation of it eveiy lesser grievance ; it is {hiking at the rcot of our government ; at the principles upon which it Hands ; and it Ihould be met with firnmefs and oppof-d with tl"- coinage , which accompanies a struggle for expiring | liberty. The lower Houf; accuses the Senate with withholding from the people their rfght to lel.ftiou by not concurring 111 tutirvnode ; ' connot the Senate with equal jullice r-crim-1 inate upon the Representatives for not con- | curring .vith them ? it 11 by xuell grounded j charges like these, that the-jt-ople arc deceiv- 1 fd into rebellion—into treaiun—lur-k to the lower house ; for it needs a vigilant eye ; it is a wolf in sheep* clothing. A CITIZEN. Par amoun of a Jbare Ms. Wayne, General Hamilton lias written a book, the objedt ot which is, to deprive Mt. Adams of the Pre fide 11 ts chair* 1 have long enter tained the highest opinio* jpf Mr. Hamilton's talents and patriotism ; but in thi« instance, am inclined to believe, he has overshot his mark, ihe undertaking discovers a degree ot vanity, and the performance too much personal teeling, to persuade any one, that the design is (Vilely public good. We have great rrafon to conclude, that it would give general fatisfaftion to the real triends ot our conftitation and government, if all the federal electors would vote steadilv tor Adams and Pinckncy ; as in that cafe, it is believed, we would have two honest men to direst the affairs of the Union—Both good r.hriftians, and I was going to fay there fore, found fede .-.lifts ; one of them at leaf!, a military charadler, in cafe l'uch talents (hould Uc found neceflaiy. BOILEAU's ARITHMETIC. In debate on the bill as amended by the Senate, the Honourable Gentleman thus logically argued, " for by this proposition" fays he, the propolition of ] the Senate, " there is intended to be a ■ distribution of 7 votes on each fide, so . that the actual vote of Penafylvania the second in the Union would be only one, while Delaware, the smallest State, i would have three ! !". Wonderful dif- , Co very, sagacious Legislator ; J'men and : j eight make one ! ! 1 / ) j Pray Mr. Boileau, when his excellen lencyhad 3,500 votes, and James Rofs 1 3000 what was the " afhial votedo inform us, thou sage arithmetician, thou j Coder among the Jacobins. ( States. AN AMERICAN. Private letters frotfi Nempfhfre, i'taic, that " it is ascertained.almost to a certainty that the election of General L. R. Ivlorru, at the iecbnd trial is fore." The anguish of the jacobins at the present hour of their bitter disappoint ment, is almost indescribable. Their aukward efforts to conceal the greatnefg of their political misery, and their lying statements, refpedting the ' imaginary strength of their cause, equally betray the declining state of the party. Every Jacobinical movement is now like the spasmodic twitchings of a convulsed wretch in his last agonies. Europeans must be excessively diverted at the circumstance in the history of our Cis-Atlantic Gentlemen, which could give occasion for the following earnest and imploring request, from the Managers of the Theatre in the Capital of the United States. In every play bill, now iflued, Mefirs. Wignell £3* Reinagle refpe&fully " request Gentlemen not to smoke any fegars within the walls of the Theatre." One of the Emprefles of RuJJin t in a Gothic afiembly room, order-* ed a paper to be affixed, in which, it was hoped, that '■ no Lady would get drunk j -with Brandy, after 11 o'clock." O" Several valuable cbmmunicatioris we are compelled to postpone. To-Morrow's Mail, will probably fur nifli us with the result of the elc&ion in Rhode-Island. The poor Jaco's may prepare for mourning—'twill convey me lancholy tidings to them. ' [The following rem irks, en t!ie letter of Thomas Cooper, ark copied from the New York Gaaette.
