1 HE Enquirer* hn3 got on far with
his vindication, when, as if Ills hand was
palified, ins pert dropped Inftead of pur
fuing the taf!c of correcting the errors of
the Tedtialids, he turned about, and very
laudably employed himielf in correcting his
own errors. It was found, that his over
weening vindicator had taken a very unfa
vorable poluion—a pofition in which
His gun, though aim’d at duck or plover*
Bore wide, and k’ck’d its owner over.
It was perceived that it would not anfwer
the defired pttrpofe, to compliment Mr. Jef
ferfon s modelty and magnanimity at the
expence of his courage and talents* 1 he
federaliils had aferibed to Mr. Jeifcrfon,
a deficiency in, the latter^ qualifications.
To admit this deficiency, therefore, was to
admit as much as federaiifts could dellre.—
ConfeqtienUVj the Enquirer was orderedf to
change his ground. And left we ihould be
acculcd of mifreprefenting his language,

“ An Error Correcfrd
♦ M
“ When we Hated in the 4th No. of the “ Vindi
cation pf Mr. Jeilierfon^that he had rcligned the of
fice ot Governor in tbc year 1781, we dated what
thou/and* of M refpcifUble perrons’* had long alTert d
and Uniformly believed. Inftea4 of reporting to the
redofds of date, we w ere f;U is lied w ith the teffimony of
numerous believers- We have difeovered mif niii
n.ke; and *.ve have difeovered too the i’oyrce from
which it ot IginsHv /lowed. Mr. JtiTcrfon never did
* /y? the cilice of < Jovernor. He had already ferved
two entire years, and was Author!fed hv the confti
tution to lirvc a third, hut on account of the com
plaint- which v. e;c already letup againfl his official
conduit, neither himfelf nor his friends were willing
to profit l>y the proviiion of ths conftitution. They
w aited an eiujui* v t,* be held upon his official con
duct. They were unwilling to arreft. it. preigrefs, by
clothing In.n with the robes of office. If this enquiry
1 m Id terminate in an impeach meat, he was anxious
to moot i; in the charadjer of a private citizen. Such
only xva« the conduct that he purfued."
1 he Enquifer requefts thofc who hire
not yet republifhed the 4th No. (fee iuft
Balanc ) to corretfc the following Errata.;
♦ A Virginia paper now in the f.rft of tbc apolo
gist r.f rhe mlminiftrtttion.
+ We far trdcreJ, because it i* evident from the re
rv circtiuidauce alluded to, that the E^jutixr i# uo
tfling but a tool in this btffiocf*. No man, left to
himfelf could have bear, ^uih f of furb pr i:-blr cot?4
t;adiclitYu*.
M I- In place of t.ie firfl and fecond paragraphs
infert the following introdudUon :—
“ ft was Ihortly after this period, that Mr. feffer
fnn rep ired to Monticello. two or three miles from
Chariottfvilie, where the kcjfiflatura had detenmnej
to meet in the early part of June. His oliice was on
t e point of expiring, but the Conftitution of his ftate
had ftii! authoriicd him to ferve during a third vaar.
Actuated liv the moft laudable motives, however, his
frieuds determined not to bring him forward as a can
didate. Cenfurea hid been parted upon hi* ad mini f
t rat ion by thofe, who were unacquainted with fiis
nieafures and tne ftate of the country. They had even
declared that it was incumbent upon the Lcgiflature,
to make a formal enquire into his conduct—l^der
theie Circumfunces the friends of Mr. Jefferfon re
fo! red to make n» exertions to re-eleCt him. They
wil led to lee the menaced enquiry' made,and even an
impeachment, purified; and they wire unwilling to
throw anv obftacles in their way by inveiling Mr.ltff
erfon with the dignity ai d influence of fuch a%j dicer.
“ It is not true then, that Mr. Turner has averted;
that Mr. forward his refignation to this affvin
oly and that the abdication of the Government” is
“ a matter of record" It is fine only, that Mr. J.
a her having ferveil during two entire years was un
willing to accept of the appointment during the third
\e..r ; and tmat the motives ot this determination tKd
not (pring from any tear of encountering the perils of
the fitnation, but Irom a cietire of promoting a Icrrif
Jative enquiry into his conduct."
1 lie Enquirer does indeed change hi?
ground *, nut we cannot fee, that in point of
A"7> ^,a* mended the matter an atom.
He only proves that Mr. Jtlfeifon, inftead
of very Ibort period, had cue whole year to
h rve, when he abandoned tire government.
But it is now averted, ir* contradiction of
what was admitted in the 4th No. of the
4‘ ^ indication," that neither cowardice nor
inability induced Mr. JeiTerfon to quit hU
poit. It is faid to have been d©ne, r‘oti
j account of the complaints which were fet
up againlt lbs official conduct * Ccn- '
hires had been palled upon his admiidfira- i
tion ’’—“ They had even declared that it
was incumbent upon the legifiature, iowale
a formal inquiry into his conduct.” Here
an inquiry is naturally fiiggeftcd. Had
Mi*. JetrrrfOu’a conduct then been |
iuch as to excite the fufpicions of his own !
fellow-citizens ? Had he managed the af
fairs of the State in fuel; a manner, that an
impeachment was threatened ? If fo, there
ini.it have been iome ground for fufpicion
ar.J centime. There could not have bean
io much fmokt without fomc fire.
But, fays the inquirer, Mr. Jefferfordk
friend* “ V’ifhed to fee the menaced inqui
ry made, and even an impeachment perill
ed ; v.nd they were unwilling to throw’ any
obil idea in their way by invefting Mr. Jef
ferfon with the dignity and uiliuence of
luch an office.’'
Exert i ling the right enjoyed by the En
quirer, let us alfo guefs at Mr. felferlWs j
motives for with-drawing ft win bis official •
Harion. He was highly rer.fured for bis ;
coitdu^V, and an inquiry was threatened. !
Had he continued in office, the threat i
would undoubtedly have been executed. By
relimguiflteH his office* he hoped 10 efcape
the inquiry ; or, if it ihould be profecurcd,
- cry of prevention rrfigh be raift’d agajn.lt
itis accwfers.
it will be recolh cled that-t he Enquirer
began this “"V indication,* with a view of
refuting the infinuation of the FederaUfts,
* hat Mr. jeiVrfjn’s conduff was fitch.
whiie fie was Governor of Virginia, in the
j time of the tcVdlution; as to prove him tin-’
■ fit ter Prcfideut of the United States. Now,
I then let us apply his defence to the cafe in
^ueUion.
Mr. JefJerfon is Prtfident of the United
States, and the Conftitutional term of his
fervice will not expire for fome time. He ,
is high'v Con fur eel for Itis official conduct. •
Suppofe it war fllould break out, and the l
enemy fhouid invade oar country ; and |
fuppofc Mr. Jeiletfon fhould flee to me
mountains, ar.d leave us without a Preiidenc i
{ — fltouid wc flop to enquire into hU rnc- !
| tivn, for fetch a deicrtion before we cen.fur
j cd him ? hou’d we not with one voice,
j pronounce hiai‘ unft for the ilation to
' which the blind zeal of a party has raffed
i him ?—That fuch was his conduct under
limilar circumftances will appear from the
following brief recapitulation .•—
Fir}.—Mr. JefFerfcn was governor of
Virginia, when tliat State was invaded s
and it does not appear that he ever railed
a finger to cpppfa the pro^refs of the enemy.
Second.—At the critical moment, when a
powerful army was approaching the then 1
feat of government, and when ail the en
ergies ci the country were required for
its defence, Mr. Jefterfon precipitately a
bantloned hi; poft, as commander in chirr,
without waiting the appointment of a tuc
e offer, and in his great ha lie to find a
of fafety for himleif, actually left toe ,State
deftiture of a Governor.

Rcipc&ed Friend,
hL AX being the principal article of
Domcftic Manufacture, (wool excepted) in
themiddle and northern fiates, perhaps a
hint may he accptable
About 16 years pail, I purchafed a Ger
man fervant man, who by his account catne
from the neighborhood of RuiTia l
foon after fet him and ethers to lprcad my
l l^x, the Lot tiot containing the whole, he
rrquefted me cn h t him rot the remainder
his own way, whieh lie laid was to half rot
it in the water and then on the ground,
which he did, and the flax To rotted, prov*
ed the beft, fofteft, and whited, 1 had ev
er ften, and the method pieafed my wife
and fbinners fo well, I have praftifed it ever
f:ncc, with fome alterations as to time.
The procefswe find to anfwcr heft, is, af
ter the feed is beaten off, bind it about the
lizc of common rye lheaves, and about the
’•ait of September, or firtl of Odtober, im
mercc it in water, flagnated is preferable to
running, it fhould not be more than three
feet from the furfacc, and the flax kept en
tirely under the water about two weeks, but
the time fhould be regulated by the weath
er, as ro heat or cold, we then take il out
and fpread it thin and even,, and turn it as
often as occasion may require, after being
re ad, every rain, fo,, dew, or freft, rflifu
in Separating the he;], whitening and fcf
temng the lhix, and extracting the gum,
which .is the only caofeof flax being coarfc
and harfh, and it is an cilabhlheJ fa& with,
thofc that have rryed that either thread or
or cloth, made Tom flax prepared in the
above manner, is fofter, and will whiten in
one third of the time that is renuifite for
that from flax rotted in the comaiomnanner
l believe the principal reafon, that water
rotting flax, is lb little pranced in North
America, is that th©ie who have t<iec| it,
find the flax hard and brittle, the caule of
whicb, (I imagine] is putting it in water in
hot weather, wiicn two or three days will
rot fuflicient for dreiiing but will not extracl
:lie gum.
A prrlbnttfmv acquaintance from Hiber
nia, (who is well acquainted wfih the pro
cefs of fax preparation,) informs me, that
it has been the common pra<$ice in Ireland
about 20 or 30 years age, to Let flax remain
in the water until fufficientiy retted, bat
tlu- people injgenrral, finding it did not an- i
Jwear their funguirw expiation, have fiacc
adopted the above method with f icccfs.
Linen made of flax prepared as above di
rected, with one boil, will be about the co
lor ot Rtifiia filtering, which induces me ti>
believe that all the hemp and flax in Kalita,
is rotted in the fame wav.— An j aa I am
greatly drfirous for the improvement of the
manufa&ure ot this couniry, with nty fel
low citizens to make a trial, which may be
fafdy done by trying a fmall parr.
It you think the foregoing worth, a place
in your paper, ir will be well to p.ubliih i;
f.jou, as the feafon proper for the operation
is near at hand. I repigiin your friend,
