Thomas Paine.
In the Autobiagraphy of John Adams, we
learn some facts in relation to Thomas Paine
—or Tom ['nine, us usually written—not
generally known.
Mr. Adams says, in relation to the pam
phlet "Common Sense," which. is now so
much praised by Mr. Paine's admirers, who
celebrate his birth•day, that it did litit little
good to the cause which it espoused. He
Temarks : "He probably converted some to
:the doctrine of independence, and gave oth
ers an excuse for declaring in favor it. ~But
these would ail have followed Congress with
zeal ; and, on the other hand, it excited
many writers against it, particularly Plain
Truth,' who contributed very largely io for.
tify and influence the party against Indepen
dence, and finally lost us the Aliens. Penns,
‘ 'n n d many others of weight in the commu-
Mr. Adams gives him no credit for ori
„tinality iu its production, and says. "He
,t•ame from England, and got into such corn
:Pany as would converse with him, and ran
about picking up What information he could
concerning our affairs, and finding the great
question was concerning Independence, he
:gleaned from those he saw, the common
place arguments—such as, the necessity of
'lndependence at some time or other; the
peculiar fitness at this time ;the justice of,
it our ability to maintain it, &c., &c. Dr.
Hush put hint upon writing on the subject,
Yurnished him ;% ith the arguments which
had been urged in Congress a hundred dines
and gave him his title of "Common Sense."
Mr. Adams, though he doubted whether
Mr. Paine's pamphlet had accomplished
any good, still felt obliged to him for what
he then supposed to be his good intentions.
For that reason, and because, to use his own
language, "I saw he had capacity and a
ready pen ; and, understanding that he tvas
poor and destitute. I. thought we might put
Lim into some employment where he might
be useful, and earn a living. Congress ap
pointed a Committee on Foreign Affairs,
not long after, and wanted a clerk. I nom
inated Thomas Paine,supposing him a rea
dy writer, and an industrious man. Dr.
Witherspoon, the President of New Jersey
College, and then a delegate from that State
rose and objected to it, with an earnestness
that surprised me. The Doctor said he
- would give his reasons : he knew the man
.and his communications ; when he first came
over, he II us un the other side, and had writ-
Ten pieces against the American cause ; that
'he had afterwards been employed by his :
'friend Hobert A lkin, and' finding the title of
popularity run rapidly, he had turned about,
that he was very intemperate, and could not
write until he had quickened his thought
with large draughts of ruin and water ; that
, he was. in short, a bad character and not fit
do be placed in such a situation."
All these charges were afterwards proven
to be true.• = htd. Morning Journal.
