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

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.

FROM THI X. Y.J OAJLY ADVERTISER
THE ALAHM!—No. VIJ
jILEPH. MY rirft head of argument to Ihew that
the treaty is execrable, is drawn fn m the adviferi of,
it. 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. He might also have been influenced by
these word*, •* IVbat king, going to make war ogainjt
amther iing,fettetb not do wn frj', and confuitetb, >whe-
ther hei/e fb.e <witi ten tbou/and to meet him that com
et b <witb twenty ib ufand? Cr else, <ufhi!e the other it
yet a great nay of t he fmdeth ait amkajhge, and de
ft, etb of peace'' What weakne't was all
thit? 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.

Many fufpiciou* people, who felcom open »heir

rarely attend town meeting!, have hinted their
doubt* whether the proceeding* of the late meet

They have even fnggefled that such conduit has a

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 -

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

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

town, and then adjoin to raicet W
