IV. The names of the Subscribers (hall be prefixed.
Th- following Character of this work
is eitrafled from the Monthly Review, p. 3". 3". fer
March, 1793.
" We have no small degree of plesfure in announcing
the present work to our readers; as cne wh ch from the
freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the
fortitude of its principl-s, is eminently deserving of atten
tion. By this eulogium, we would ky no means be under
stood to fubferibe to all the principles which those volume!
contain. Knowledge is not yet anived at that degree ot
certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think a
like on all fubjefts; neither has langujjgeJattained that con-
Client accuracy, which can enable them to convey their
thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner per
fectly correal and intelligible to bath. TJief- difficulties
are only to beovercome by a patient, incep'ant, and bene
volent investigation, v I .
" Many of the opinions which this wort contains, are
bold ; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are er
roneous -.—but that which ought to endear it even to those
whofr principles it may offend, is the strength of
ment adduced in it to prove, that peace and order molt ef
fectually promote the happiness after which political re
formers are panting that as the progress of knowledge
it gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate
and thatconvulfive violence is dangerous no: only to indi
viduals (for that result comparatively would be of small
account) but to the.general cause of truth. It is the op
polite of this principle that inspires the enetrissof politic
al enquiry with so much terror ; it is the supposition that
j change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and
injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be
made without the intervention of evils rnoie destructive
than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the
oor.vitSion of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and
gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully il
lustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple fir 11 to en
quire into present tvil, through its essential branches, and
next to demonstrate future good.
" Dividing his work intso eight boohs, and making tub
IMPORTANCE or POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the subjeCt of
the firft, he begins by an attempt to prove thf omnipo
tence of government over the moral habits ®f mankind ;
and that sn these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and
felicity depend."

In a lite Virginia paper, a candidate for a f e .
in the Federal House of Representatives has pu>
lifhcd an address to his Fellow Citizens, in w |,; c
he inveighs against the treaty, the funding f. (l crt
foreign influence, &c. &c. Under the address
the following article, written, no doubt, by s on
malicious arijlocrat.
" HUZZA FOR CITIZEN GERARD! J I

COMMUNICATIONS.
The oppofers of the British treaty said that the
debts due by the merchants of the United States
which that instrument would compel them to
pay, amounted to five (Tome of them said fifteen)
millions of dollars. It was rough guefiing. The
Aurora of this morning has found out that a Ij W
parted during the late session appropriating «' about
eighty thousand dollars to cany the British treaty
into e-ffeft" and that the sum of eighty thousand
dollars will not pay a " few millions ! ! J"
" Let the people judge who are diforganizers,
antifederalifts, and abettors of a foreign fadion in
the United States; let the (ticklers foradminilbn
tion be judged of from their own mouths* A
member of the house of representatives lately de
clared in a large circle, that the union could not
hang together if such men as JeJerfon, Modify,
and Gallatin once got into the executive adminiflra
tion ; as if the people had not the capacity of
chufing with discretion their public officeie." Tie
foregoing is extra&ed from the Aurora, and co».
tains moll precious confefiions indeed 1 Here it li
confefied what our antifederal fadtion mean by the
people. They do not mean any. periba it) office
or those who have eledled them, for here, a member
of the house of representatives is proscribed merely
for giving an opinion as one of the people.
But supposing that a convention held since the
adjournment of Congress had voted in conclave,
that Mr. Jefferfon should be Piefident of the Unit
ed States, Mr- Madison or rather Mr. Burr, vice
Prefidcnt, and Mr. Gallatin, Secretary of theTrea
fury ; would any man cease to be one of the peo
ple, would he be a dijorganizer, an antijederalifl, au
abettor of aforeign fallion, if he should .declare it as
his opinion " that the union could not hang to
gether if such men once got into the executive a -
mininiftration ?" This is a precious confefiisn
" You shall be vice-roys, it is true.

is a majority of about 5 to I of Federal chara&ers.
Mr. Robbins, the Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives was eledted to that office almost unani
mously.
The fenateelefted Mr. Goodhue, Senator of the
United States., for fix years from the 4th March
1797. Mr. Goodhue and Mr. Robbins had an e«
qual number of votes in the Hottfc, viz. 70 each
for the fame appointment on the firft trial, on the
second, Mr. Goodhue preponderated, and the house
concurred with the Senate.
From the above circumstance certain person*
have absurdly supposed that Mr. Robbins is of the
anti-federal fadtion ; not reflecting that it isjimpoffi
ble that any such characters should gain a majority
in such a legislative body, for any office whatever.
In addition to which, it may be alTerted that Mr.
Robbins is as firm a Federalist as any in the Uuit«
ed States.
Fram the Charlejlen City Gazette.
MelTrs. Freneau and Paine,
In your paper of the 30th of May I fee fame
observations on the treaty with Great Britain, in
troduced by a correspondent. The mischievous ef«
fedls of Mr. Jay's treaty, fays this observer, will
shortly be very sensibly felt by the citizens of the
southern states, as chief jnftice Ellfworth has de
creed that it prohibits the felling of French prizes
in American ports. And further, he fays, that
during the present war, the prices of Weft India
produce have been low, in coofequcnce of the great
quantities captured and sent into Carolina and
Georgia by the Frcnch cruisers. Had this been
the cafe, the people of the southern states might
have enjoyed some advantage ; but your corrcfpon
dent proceeds to fliew that it was not the tafe, and
that the citizens at large are not benefitted, but that
the merchants are: for, fays he, the merchants fin
ding rum, sugar, coffee, and molafTes (which they
bought cheap at prize sales) better articles of re
mittance than rice and indigo, derived great profits
from Shipping them, What is this, but faying that
the merchants would not buy their rice and indigo,
when they could purchase Weft India product .
and I think it requires a little more ingenuity in
your correspondent, than his piece will allow us to
think he poflefTcs, to prove that the agricultural in
tereftef a country is benefitted by the admission of
articles, so more desirable as remittances as
to prevent the sale of its produce. Thus, for in
dance, the merchant who had ten thousand pounds
would not l>ty a barrel of rice or indigo, because
prize goods made better remittance. '1 bis, to be
sure, is a substantial reason indeed against the treaty
with the planters of this country : for it is faying,
in lo many words, that if the merchants could get
[irize goods enough, they would not buy a bairtl
of your rice and indigo, and for an excellent lcaton
too ; because it did not make as good a remittance.
Again, if the merchants buy it with avidity to
