Timothy & Mason, The following extract throws great light upon our po litical hemisphere, and cannot fail to be acceptable to that pirt of the community who are, by local ar.d other circumfUnces, precluded an open view of governmental measures. They are, therefore, much at your fcrvice., 4 Friend to the People. Philadelphia, o£i. 10 1795. " Much has pafled in review tince I lall wiote to you, all tending to open the eyes of the sleepy, and too credulous. Call to mind my friend the ob servation, the just observation made by yo.uifclf eighteen months ago, " If we were to relate to our fellow citizens all we know and have witnefTed we should be acting imprudently towards ourselves ; Those daysof idolatry and implicit faith and confi dence are fact passing away, even in the eallern itates. Men now fee, who would not fee before. " Alas, how have we been deceived in Mr. H -n." He and his fadtion have nearly ruined our country, and made a tool of our good P . .Suchis the open language of men now, who wtre friends of funding and bwk systems, to treasury in fluence, and implicit confidence. All this they l 111 * i 1• - . 'wll ■ lee, long agor - Out of evil good oft cometh.— Had men, good and virtuous citizen*, seen the cer tain consequence of Mr. H n's measures fodn ti 1 had .they allowed themselves to fee that the P— the government, the country ; its welfare, peace, happiness, and honour were in the hands of a set of men, determined to make all to their agrandizenent and monopoly ot power ; had they seen thisfooner much trouble might have been pre vented. That a concuflion is at hand 1 mult be ilieve, for these men have, in the monied, and part of the commercial interest, a strong party, leaving nothing undone to suppress and keep under the real voice of the gieat body of Yeomanry throughout the eaftrrn and middJe llates. I trust, in this au tempt they will be foiled. In my excursion thro' theeaftern Rates, which was made for the purpose of fully fatisfjring myfelf; in whatever societies I > mixed, and I made* point of mixing a good deal, and conversing with every 1 intelligent man 1 met with', 1 found seven eighths of the people not only eppofed to the treaty, but disgusted with the ad ministration ; firmly persuaded that they have bees facrificing the honor and best interests of th« coun try. I had long conversations with intelligent and influential men and they, ftrie and all, allured m« , that all the Eastern llales (Connecticut excepted) were oppof«J to the treaty, and that fyllcm of in trigue and,wickcd policy that contrived it. I am at a lofsfora rational cause for Connecticut's gener ally approving of the treaty, unless it is that a very few influential men, such as W—h diredt their mea- the likings or disliking of the (late. I rode a gooddeal, up and down, through that (late, and remained some time in il. ] thought it as the eaufe ; things bad too much that appearance. In Jetfey, New York, Rhode Island, MafTuchu fetts, and New Hampftiire, the efforts of the mo nied and ot a part of the mercantile interest to keep under and suppress the general sentiment of difgult and dilfatisfadtion are as evident as the fun at noon day; but lam aflured that they will not be able to j do it. - A quarrel and open breach bas taken place bet ween the President and Mr. Randolph. This breach is too wide ever to be clofe'J. While I was wri ting this letter the latter called on me with ihcfirft proof, {beet of an intended publication. When it is out I will fend it to you. By this quarrel much cabinet measures will be made public. The cause of the quarrel is an intercepted letter from Mr. Fau chet, the French Minister, tothe Executive Coun cil of France, in which report fays there is an ex preflion conveying some idea of Mr. Randolph ha ving handled French money. This letter wasfent by Lord Grenville to Mr. Hammond, and by him given to iftrr Wolcott, who delivered it td the Pre sident. He sent tor Mr. Randolph, and, in the presence of Mr. Wolcott aud Mr. Pickering treat ed him as he fays, so indelicately that he instantly rcfigned the seal of of&ce. Mr. Randolph avers total innocence. In the letter, lam told Governor M— n and Mr. D s are imjjlieated as having purpofcly promoted, with Mr. Randolph, the in fnrre£Uo« in the five weltern counties of this state. I am told there is much curious matter in the let ter. Mr. Z. is mentioned i« it a3 having affared Mr. Fauchet that the Atlantic states were opposed to the opening jof the Miflifippi though they pre- i tend otherwise. 1 believe this intercepted let ter 1 and the confequeiice will disclose many eabi.net fe- ] crets and what may be ufeful for the certain deve- ' lopement of charadiers and cabinet mesfares. You have doubtless seen or heard of the feanda- ! * V y ious publications in a Boflon Paper against the chief i- julticeand an intended vindication said to be written f- by Mr. K n, and a reply to the defence.

A partial Convention of Beiinfngton cotMtj", wh.ch met at Shaltfbury on September ",Oih, l< re- solved, without a dille itlng voice, as the opinion of this convention, that the Prclident's cegoeiating a treaty "with theking'of- Great-Britain, without the , previous advice ac". content of the Senate, was con s trary to the intent and meaning of t!ne federal con j ftitution. j " Resolved, nem. con. as the opinion of this con- vention, that the said treaty, viz. the pending treaty of amity and commerce between Great-Britain and the United States, is injurious to the interest, and derogatory to honor of the United States. That it is wnconftjtutional in a variety of instances, fuper j fedesrhe authority of the legislative and judiciary departments of the said United Stutes, apparent . ly violates ths rights of neutrality, clashes with prc { viousexifting treaties, and cannot, without violati on of the dearetl rights of the people, beepme the supreme law of thcland.

A true copy, attell, j ANTHONY HAS WELL, Clk." t None of the members of Bennington county ' 1 took any public notice of these refutations, or mo ; ved to have them brought before the legiflaturc. ' . The aflembly paid no attention at all to the matter ; J . and the resolves of those individuals remain only as | . records of an ill judged scheme to obtain power by t . means of popularity, happily rendered abortive by t t its own abfutdity. ( 1 One good eftetS, however, has resulted from this 3 _ ■ attempt to procure a legislative censure of the con- j ■ dust of the ' firft Magiltrate of the American peo- . . It has served to ascertain what the public n sentiment is in this part of America, and what opi- n 1 nion the representatives of the people entertain of ti • the federal constitution and government. The le- 11 giflature of Vermont saw nothing in the treaty '' wbicK required their animadvtrfions ; and thev dil- " cerned nothing in the proceedings of the President and Senate, of which they found it proper to ex- t( press any complaint or difipprobation. rr The merit, therefore, refpefting public sentiment rr in this fia;e, no longer rests on the opinion or rep- ff of an individual, a town meeting, or a j' 1 paitial can my convention. The legislature, the constitution al authority of Vermont, is decidedly c ; against an interference with, or an opposition to the bt federal constitution and government, or to the pro- a V ' I F ceedtngj of the President and Senate.
