S I R ' 4 THE importance of the present - crisis of the affairs of our Country i« such as to render it the duty of every Citizen, to express his opinion of public men and measures., A* the Chief Magistrate of a free country, you ought $o be the last person to objca to a difouffioii of the condud and charac ter of those whom th« people have appointed to administer the government of theii choice. If there is such a thing as political happintfs, if patriotism he Hot a chimera, an attachment to liberty and to the rights of the'citizens constitute the chief means of the ftrfVj and the ooly eritevions of the second. In vain Tias the cotifli'ution pointed nut the duties and the power's of the servants of the people, if the ckiiens are debarred. frotW mvelligating the omiffians of absolute duties and th« abule or ufur pfiuiiui ui puwer." 11 tnerc tie a countrf m which the influence of one man prevents ?r deter 6 this inreitiga:ion, that country is already snflaved. The name of Washington has too long hid this effect, and those who call the{tife)v<;R frte, fiave def-rted the standard of principles and enlilled under the banners '*£ a Hian. In vain, have reason and liberty called upon their votai its : Reason has been def piftd. and the name of freedom blasphemed by your adorers. B;t such j'b the Jircfent fituatiuii of our affiirs, such is the acknowledged eoudition of our politics, as to call upon every man freely and fear lefsly to express his opinions. In entering upon this fubjeft a recurrence to the commencement of our evidence as a nation may be neceffaiy; when the overbearing tyrant y and unprecedented usurpations of the Btitilh mo narch firtt called for h the spirit ofoppofuion, y man not dead to the feeiings" of a freem.an, every one wliofe foul was not debased by habits of fl:iveiy naturally stepped forward to vindicate the rights, a'rfd to avenge th? wrongs of America. At this honours and dangers which you (bared .n common with the other delegates to'the si.it and feconJ .. .r. nil... mtolence in the Britilh, and their insolence drove us to a te courfe te arms ; you, as one of tke moit experi eiced of native Americans irj were appointed to the co nmand of th? revolutionary aimv. This, it-will he remembered, was before the declaration of independence. Your public con dust as Commander in Chief entitled you in Tome measure to the gratitude of yout country ; that gratitude has been amply given Far, far indeed beyond your merits have tou poUeffed 'he admira tion and love of your fellow citizens f During the whole courfa ps the revolution tjtere is scarcely an ' aft ion which (lamps your chara£ 4 er as a confum- ' mate General ; the principabfcxploits were atchiev ed under other Commanders. But even supposing your military talents greater than those of any o ther American officer, I a{k you, fir, to point out one fngle aS which unequivocally proves you a fiend to the Independence of America. Even in your official letter to Congress you do not express an opinion upon this topic, nay you seen to have fludioufly avoided even the word You speak of the applause with which the Declaration was re ceived by the army ; but were not the date of your letter so soon after ihe epoch which gave lis birth as a nation, we fhotild be much at a loss at this diltance'of time to know to what declaration you allude. Yon fpeafc of the importance of the mea sure ; an enemy as well as a fiiend might have used the fame language 1 . But would an enthufiailic at tachment to American independence, would even a partiality approaching to indifference havediftated the consideration of it as merely a mean of " reltor ingthis cou.ntry.to the rank to which (he was enti tled by the Britifb Constitution }" It might per haps be advanced by r,n advocate of y.out conduct, that yuur continuance at the head of the army was fufficient proof of your approving the pifTolution of all political connection between us and Britain. If, it may be asked, you were not friendly to inde penden e, why d d you not resign the moment the measure was adopted ? Situated as you were, think ing as you probably did, that America asked more than (he was willing to accept in order to obtain what (he really tvifhed, a reflation would have been impolitic, perhaps unfafe. As the war con tinued, as the profpeft of our affairs brightened by an alliance with a powerful nation, your motives for retaining the chief command might have fome wh'at changed, but mull have been ftreogthened. What was at one period a port of danger became' a poll of honor. Success fanftifie'd it in your eyes as the indrurnent of fame if not of ambition ; and (he hi'tory of the foeiety of which you «re Presi dent migVt perhaps furrith some pioofs to (hew wish how little delicacy a crown might be oflered to a Washington. After the termination of a drug gie as brilliant as fnccefsiul, you were viewed by your fellow citizens as the chief promoter under a protecting providence, of an honourable termina tion to an important and glorious contest. Grati tude, a virtue of great minds, led your countrymen to bc!i<re that ta you alone they were indebted for liberty- The humble diaren of the daagar. of the fcwlutiuh weie'negletted, bat the Commandci in Chief was admired and almelt adored. Next to the firmneft and undaunted jK-rfeverance of the American patriot!, the success of our revo lution mult be attributed to the Frcoch alliance and to the following important even ». The Declaration of Independence. The captuie of the Northern BritiSi Army un der Bargoyne The Su'ecefg of the Southern American Army under Gen. Green The divition produced by the war between Bri tain and Spain and Holland. The capture of Cornwalli* and his-Army at Yorktown. Among these cause» of fucceft, how many were the immediate confeque»ce6 of your abilities and exertions? Was the firmnefs of the American cha racter a gift of your creative power ? Was the de claration of Independence a mcafure suggested by you, or evfn taken with your approbation ? Did the brave Militia who made prisoners of one of the best appointed armies in the woild combat'under your command, »t Saratoga ? Did y»u negotiate the Alliance with Franco ? Did you command the Southern army when the conduct jmd abilities of a Green raised the drooping heads of the Carolinian*, and pointed the road to success ? Was the acknow ledgment of the Independence ot America by the United Netherlands, produced by your influence in their councils ? Could 'you without the afiiftance and co-operation of the French fleet armies have even aspired to the hfjpe of capturing the British army at York and Gloucester? If ihefe were the events that ctowned the arms of Colum bia with success, and if to those queftioni a decilive unconditional negative trust be given, with what juilice do you monopolize the glurics of the Ame rican Revolution i I c. A view of ths prog'efs of our country, 38 an independent nation, will throw fomr further light upon your character; this I (ball refer to a future number. PoiTloi. fOR THE GAZETTE OF THI UNI TED STATES. Mr. Fenno, A few days since the Aurora informed n« tliit Pe titions were preparing to be presented to the House of Representatives of the United States relative to the Treaty ; the Printer of the Virginia Herald, a paper 'published at Frederickfburgh, infects a form of a Peti tion which he acknowledges he received from a corre spondent: The Democratic Society of this city is the great center of anti-federal polities— To divide and to rule, has been the maxim of all tyranti. If a schism can be made between tke branches of our Government, and the Senate and President denounced by the Houf-, the great object for which our diforganizers have la. boured for years, will'be at length accomplilhed— which God in his infinite mcrcv prevent.. A. From the VIRGINIA HERALD, To the SPEAKER and MEMBERS of the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES of th« Starp* r»f Amffii', in PoiKTrefl affem -I"he Retkksentation and Pitition of the Sub scribers, inhabitants oj the State of t and citizens of the United States— Refp«<£tf«lly Sheweth, THAT viewing with deep and anxious concern the present awful crisis in th« affairs of our com mon country, and influenced by an equal solicitude for the security of our rights and liberties, and the prefer vtffilon of peace with all the world, we here by exercise our conllitutiogal right of petition, on a fubjeft as momentous as any that has ever agitated the feelings, 01 affected the intends of a free peo ple. The treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, between the United States and Great-Britain, lately negociated by authority of the President of the United Stales, and conditionally ratified i-y the Se nate, ha« been fnbmitted to, and undergone a full and public difcuflion. And your petitioners, hav ing given to it an impartial and deliberate conside ration, feel it a solemn and paramount duty, which we owe to ourselves and to oui poflerity, ts con vey to you our free and unbi ifled opinion thereon; in doing which, with due dtfeicnce lo the confli tuted authorities of our country, whose fan&ion to the inlhument in quellion has been, in any manner, expreflcd, we declare, that to your refpeftable bo dy alone, we now look up, as that great and der nier conftitutcd authority, which, having a more general and equal participation, than any other de partment of the government, in the common inte rests and feelings of the people, and moreover, pos sessing a constitutional control and decision on alt questions of peace and war, are peculiarly the guardians of the public peace, liberty, and wel fare. We regard, with the most lively apprehensions, | all those tiipulations in the laid treaty, which, be ing of a political nature, have a tendency, diredt or indirtfl, to involve us in the political intrigues of European nations, to infract the treaty of alli ance with France, and to give occasion for, and produce the fad fptftacle of war between that mag nanimous republic and the republic of the United States ; stipulations with which in our judgment, the said treaty unhappily too much abounds Not can we be less apprehensive, under those direst and manifvft encroachments on the constitutional pow- s ers of Congress, and the chartered rights of the people, which, in the exercise ®f an alTumed j ow er on the part of the President and Senate,, have been made by the said treaty, in the following in- dances: 1. In the regulation of commeree with a foreign natron. 2. In the regulation of trade and intercouife with the Indian tribes. ' 3. In regulating the territory of the United States and of the individual States. 4. In eflablilhing duties and imports. 5. In eitablifhing a rule of natEralization. 6. In constituting a tiibur.al of appeal, para jnount to the Supreme Judicial couit of ihe United States, 7. In changing the icnure off- and cftabliihing a ttile to hold, real estate. J. In defining piracies committed oh tb: higls seas, and declaring the punilhment thereof. g. In depriving free citizens of the piivilegr 0 f the writ of Habeas Corpus, in the cafe of piracy, at defined and puniflied by the said treaty > and, Lastly, In attempting, in various o.hei instanc e«, to reltrain and limit the legislative authority- u£ Congress. Wherefore, solemnly protesting against the exer cise of power by the President and Senate, in any of the foregoing cases, without the concui rente of Congress, as manifeftly tending to abferb all the powers of government in that depaitmcnt alone j t» elUblifc, as the lole rule of lcgiflatiou over all the great foreign and domestic concerns of the United States, th'e mere will and absolute difcretioa of the President and Senate, in conjun&ion with a foreign pawer ; and finally to overturn and effed a total change in the prefeut happy conjlitution of the United States : We your petitioners, molt ear nestly piay, the representatives of the people in Congrefs'aflemWed, will, in theirwrfdom, adopt fucfi meafurea touching the.said treaty, as fhill an,(l effe&ually fecure,'free from encroachment, the con stitutional delegated powers of Congress, and the chartered rights of the people, ,and preserve to our country an uninterrupted continuance of the bles sings of peace.

The prinopal aud only responsible adviser is the Prtfident of the United States. What part Camillut had in the business is .not procifely known, faither than th«t there it no mifchief going fer*2rd in which he hat, not h'.t hand. The Senate too, ought to come in for i /hare — but when it is divided among so many, it it hard to affix to e ich hit due proportion. I ikalUeuli der the Preficlent at the great culprit.. He, it would leem, glided by fame maxims imbib ed in hj,! youth, and taken from that arttiquated book the blbhi, where it was written, " If thy brother tres pass againjl thee, go and tell him alone;" and again,< " Follow peace ivith all men;" advised thit lir*rtge ne gociajion.

Ought not the PreCu'ent to have known, that though in old timet, these rulet were efttemtd good, yet they are now exploded, and that true liberty-boys discard all government and *11 religion but what it found in the writings of Thomas Paine, and accordt with thair own intereftt and pafliont. But, two champions having attacked the Pre(ident,it would be unmanly in me to make a third, and it would be ungenerous to rob them of thefpoiUof victory.l leav* him therefore to Hancock and Valerius, btggnig themf for the'good which he hat done, to fliew him a littl* mercy, and ftiffer the old man to die in peace in th« fiiadei of Mount Vernon. Solicitous at lam to blow up th« abominable treaty, I am afraid that t'ther nati ons, and posterity, will charge ui with ingratitude,and that the laurels which will wave around the tomb of u anotlier consideration which hat no imall we'ight with me. 1 hear ray Clergyman pray every Sunday for the Prelident; that God would long preserve hit life ; that he would continue to him the love and con fidence of his country ; and, tho' I have read " Thrf age of reason," Boulanger, and some other liberal wri ters, publifoed by Mr. Fellows for the good «f the world, yet I cannot divert myfelf of early prejudices in favour of the Chriflian religion, and a belief that I must account at last to the great judge of all. I hope my fellow-democrats will forgive r»e for thi* honest confeflion, when I afiure them that the Pied dent advised the treaty without consulting us the love* reign people, and that the writers mentioned, will bring all hit motives to light. Beftdes, Ido hereby promise, that on the next head, namely the negocitjtor, I (hall not be so fqueamifli, but freely unfold the grtat niyftery of iuieuity. Newark. From tit United Statu CaßomcLt. Many fufpiciou* people, who felcom open »heir mouth* for the good of their country, and very rarely attend town meeting!, have hinted their doubt* whether the proceeding* of the late meet ing! in New Yoik and Boflou upon the fubjett of the treaty, were ftrift'y tegular and constitutional. They have even fnggefled that such conduit has a tendency todiflurb and parglixt the goTcrnmrnt, St way terminate ir. Anarchy, or Deipotifm.

In the fitft place, f.am of opinion, that a tow« meeting is the best poiKble machine for drawing out & collcfting the ideas of the citizen* in their corporate capacity. If a notification for the pur poie of calling a meeting of the people ftiould be published anonymously in a news paper, or palled upon potts and fences, or in the coffee houfc, the end might not be answered, perhaps no one would attend, and if fevcral should attend and pafsa firing - of resolutions, those resolutions would only be the femfe of the individuals who composed the they would not convey the opinion of the town a* such, in its cotporate capacity ; but wtjeH seven freeholders prefer a reqtieft to the town clerk he must call a ir.eeting by authority, the sergeant and ' isldrum will parade the streets, and ererv man will hear the warrant. If che fOemen in general neg hft to attend legal notice, it is their own fault, the seven who requested the convocation of the meeting can appear at time and place, can vote the opinion of the town any fubjeft critical, metaphyseal, poh mical, legal, agricultural, eom mcrcial, political, &c. and this opinion being certi fied by the clerk and moderator may be immediate. iy published for the purpose intended, 01 laid by for future life.
