and words, without any regird to the letters uled to com- j-

As soon as the scholar is acquainted with these charac

— , H:
THIS publication, which might mare propei ly g r ; ta {
be entitled JiflorliaHS of Mr. treaty, has a]Uldil
been ulhere-1 to public notice in tins (late by a thg y
citizen of South-Carolina, who recommends it as Grcat
a counter part to Camillus, as bemg-rioubtlc-ls confra
f writtert by one who is or has been a member ot our ]aw ,
1 federal councils, though he confcfles he does net
- coinciis with the author in many of his ajleittotu, of afl
' nor can he fay much in favour ot his candor, and [he jj
1 thouoh he has no hef.tation in fay.nf that the ba- pf
1 lance"of argument and judicious is valt y T[lij
c in favour of Camillus. Thinking tb, he would ork
[ Jone well to have pointed out the parts where- j an j 5j
in he differs from this writ«r, or wherein he thews (hou](
a want of candor, or have transmitted Camillas tor |ion j
publication at the fame time as an antidote to the ; n ma
poison attempted to be circulated. For my part, ;iling
1 have no helitation iu faying, that the writer i» at ; 6n ,
not, nor ever has been a member of the federal po{ r ej
coHiicils, unless the holdmj a subordinate llation in rcl
is a paiticular department be confidefed m lhat lig t. p o( j s
ly It is not indeed to be credited, that any individual I anf
j who has ever been, or who now is, a member o f rom
our federal councils, ftionld, betray so much ij;no
ranee or malignity against the federal government,
as this writer has dot e. Of his ignorance, or his ener^
in determination to deceive, we have, amongll sthei -, pt o y,
et two striking proofs at the vcty threthold of his ela- pean
borate and lengthv attack, it had been averted c(
by the friends of Mr. Jay, that .American cqtton refl(l
was not intended to be included in the prohibition

/j (Irument which was under Mr. Jay's conlideration llat ; £

t-3. the ho up of reprefeniolives fnppot;! hi* motion, for com
i n thtfeque/lralion of Bntilh debts: this is the very
revetfe of truth ; the motion was, after opposition,
withdrawn or abandoned, and. 110 vote was ever vg)
dc- taken on it : the inference is, that the lioufc dif- Vjy ?
a-proved of it ; otherwise its aJvocatts would not
bis have abandoned it. So much to (hew the want of
NE information or regard for truth. As to the merits
ors of the work, a minute,examination of it would be gxf(
en- tedious at this time, when the details cf the treaty [gi-r
on- have been already so well and so fully ditcuffed ; it oIJ6
,nt will fnffice to expofs the gross errors oHome of the t!) j s
J " molt leading d'Sloitions, and to evince the fallacy
of the main argument, on which the whole oi this
piece of fophiltry hinges. Among other extrava
gant adertions, he tells us that, " by this treaty, pcr ,
George the third enjoys a more complete negative mo ;
to bind t.sas thite3,. than he ever claimed over us as mu ,
": h colonies." To such lengths will the disordered j an \'
imaginations of enthusiasts lead them. But this Ull j|
the trcatyphobijl may quiet his apprehensions, even tho' < j e( f)
■ift. the Prelident has ntified it, would,foon re>k t(IH
te " leafs 113 from such a treaty. And whence this [ re ,
T ! r " power in George the third ? Because ihe United the
i - Stfl'es rbint- themfclves iri a trea
lead t y with Great-Britain from certain commercial sfts n a[
of for a limited time, for a reciprocal reP.taint on the ( j r(;
other tide—this is giving a negative to Ge&rge the
third! Has hs forgot then the former negative of tw(
h o d Louis XVI. under the French treaty, the present , sol(
negative of the Convention, that of the kings of fm
iind, Pruflia and Sweden, and of the states of Holland, am
nd, > all of whom have as much a negative as the king of
:om " England? Alas, poor Ameiisa, where is your _

cha- neutrality, and 111 the fame breath complains that a
ican- new treaty has not beep, made with Fiance dnring

ench of those who wilbed to cnnfideraUc advantages be

y a treaty with France, on the condition of our be- dou 1
e coming a patty in the war and in tie European Hit
squabbles ? how could he approve Madison's com- fyra
d mercial regulations, which weie dehgned to drive takt
ir commerce otit of its natural channels, and to ob
y itnift its course ? or Clark's motion, which went thej
to the ftoppag: of'commerce altogether ?He lelis *
;r us, » that America ought rather to fortify hetfelf
f- by as alliance wi'h a nation whose territorial jurif

Ability of colli (ion, than attach herfelf to a nation,
ts whole language, manneis and habits facilitate the
,e execution of every attempt to encroach, and whose
7 territorial pofl'eflions are in an irritating and danger- S
" oos cor.tafi with our own. The plain English of fror
ie this line phraseology (noteafily underdood at a firlt * I
7 reading) is that a natien ought to cultivate a friend- by 1
