farther exertions being dilTeittinated in the cause of their country, in forming their Democratic Society, upon the "'pure base of liberty and equality. If otherwise, let our fellow-citizens, anxi ous for so laudable an institution being perfected, judge them according to their merits, and if they prove unworthy of being members of your society, present them at the bar of your club, and make them undergoyourordeal.—l am doubt ful whether there are many who will bear that examination you insinuate they will j 1 reverence the man, who, after he i has fought well the battles of his coun- j try, returns and a&sthe part of a good j citizen ; but he is ever to be detested, j who loses in peace the honor he has j gained, in war; who connects himfelf with a fa&ion, and ever tries to excite alarm in the bread of his neighbor. Before you come forward with such difintercded proposals, Democrats, in- i ftrudt the President of your inftltution in your political scheme, and not let yqur fellow-citizens, while listening to your generous principles, be deafened by the voice of your principal person age, telling them they are not truths. Foi who can believe you, when aflert ing that your intention is not to form an electioneering society, when yonr President is fitting at the poll, telling to all around him, " That if they do hot succeed this year, their society will increase, and on the next year, they will get in their own creatures." Does not this belie you ? And who would suppose, when reading your mild address, that one of yonr most violent candidates for the late election, who frequently averted that if it was in his power he would go into the war immediately, was the author ?—By the writings of a person, as well as by the countenance, you can readily diftinguilh what passes in the mind ; and in your, address is visibly delineated a violent pafiion, but moderately bridled. With these few remarks, I leave you ; with wishes that every one on the lilt (which I doubt not you will publifti) will prove even to have exifled in '75. UNPREJUDICED. PHILADELPHIA, JUNE I/.

It has been told us, that the manufac r ture of nails is carried on in the chim [ j ney corner of almost every farmer in the . | eastern slates; what a noble thing, in _ -j like manner to scatter the manufacture IJ of laws, in the Island of Jersey, it is ! well known, that the inhabitants of a , ] village col left together, and men wo p 1 men and children spend the evening knit , ting Itockings. Our clubs are a great improvement upon the law making art. j All Embargo is fettled over a bowl of j punch without loft of time or temper. l ' Congress wrangles months away about a tax of eight cents. A club or a rneet ( ing out of doors dccides the affair in a trice. Thus it appears that a real im provement is made in the workmaufhip of laws. And what is worth money is that it saves money. For what is cheap ( er than the resolutions of a club ? What . can be more expeditioufly pafled thro' the mill ? Another advantage is, that | they can execute their own resolutions. The wife men can halten from the State r House yard or from the tavern where they resolve, to the wharf where they ( execute. Congress may repeal an Em . bargo. The people, that is to fay, the collection at an evening meeting can both re-ena£t and inforce it. Who so , will understand treaties? They vote that . Mr. Jay ought not to go. Who dares , to gain-fay it ?—ls not this the sub , (lance of power as well as the right and t the name in the hands of the people of . America; and who are the people of " America, if two or three outlandish of , sice seekers and a meeting in the State , House yard, or a Democratic club aie j not f By this Day's Mail.

( _ " Our government under the sanc tion of very large majorities in both | houses of Parliament, seem determined to prosecute the present ruinous war p with France, in_conju<ffion with other European powers ; and whilil it exists, the difficulty of anticipating the future I currency of your exports, daily encreaf es ; and the fluctuating conduct of our cabinet towards the United States of America, renders the continuation of commercial intercourse between you and lis, very uncertain. The present situa tion of these countries is indeed awfully eventful—and thinking men look for ward to the iflue with deep anxiety." ; I LANSINGBURGH, June 10. j We have just been informed by a gentleman who left Montreal on the 1 29th lilt. That great preparations were making under of defending the Canadians from being plundered by the Vermonters, which they have been led to believe, from reports industrious ly circulated, no doubt for the purpose . of calling out the militia, and uniting ' the Canadiaus againlt the States. The j forts are putting in the befl (tate of de fence, and many boats are building, one of 70 oars was launched last week, alledged to be for carrying provisions. No account of Col. Simcoe having ta ken a new position was known vhen he left that place. Ten thaufand troops, were expected to arrive from Europe, as provisions were so cheap, that soldiers could lubfift much more comfortablv than in England, and be ready for an expedition at any moment. Lord Dor chester was daily looked for from Que bee, to review the troops, militia, fo^ s , &c. &c- NEW-YORK, June 16. To Dr. JOSEPH PRIESTLEY. The Address of the Republican Natives of Great Britain and Ireland, resident in the City ef New-York. sI R, ~~" WE, the republican natives of Great Bntai" and Ireland, resident in the city of New-York, embrace, with the high- , eft fatisfa&ion, the opportunity which 1 your arrival in this city presents, of < bearing our testimony to your chr.rac- - ter and virtues, and of exprefling our 1 joy that you come among us in circum- i stances of such good health and spirits. , r )u C r \ bellCld with thc keened ( fenhbihty, the unparalleled perfections which attended you in your native coun- i try, and have sympathized with you t i- under all their variety ahd extent* In the firm hope, that you ai« now £am pletely removed from the effects <•*' rve ry species of intolerance, ve molt iin cerely congratulate you. After a fruitlefs oppofstUn to a cor rupt and tyrannical government, many ot us have, like you, fougit Freedom s and Protection in the Unittd States of! America ; but to this we hive all been principally induced, from the full per suasion, that a Republican teprefenta tive Government, was not rierely bed ' adapted to promote human happiness, * but thac it is the only rational system worthy the wisdom of man to project, 1 or to which his reason fhoulu aflent. Participating in the many blessings which the Government of this country is calculated to enfurc, we are happy in p g'v'ng't this proof of our refpeftful at tachment :—weare only grieved, that a system of such beauty and excellence, should be at all tamifhed by the exist ence of Slavery in any form ; but as 1 friends to the Equal Rights of Man, we mult be p«rmitted to fay, that we wilh these rights extended to every hu man being, bt his complexion what it may. We, however, look forward with pleasing anticipation to a yet more per fect state of society ; and, from that love of Liberty which forms so distin guishing a trait in the American cha radter, are taught to hope that this lalt this worst disgrace to a free govern ment, will finally and for ever be done away. While we look back on oar native country with emotions of pit/ and in dignation, at the outrages whiih huma nity has sustained in the perfuns of the virtuous Mutr and his patriotic afToci ates ; and deeply lament the faal apathy into which our countrymen hive fallen: . We desire to be thankful to he Great Author of our being, that re are in America, and that it has plea'ed Him, in his Wife Providence, to mke these United States an asylum, notanly from the immediate tyranny of tie British government, but also from thoe impend ing calami ties, which its incrjafing des potism, and multiplied iniquties, must infallibly bring down on a dduded and opprefled people. Accept, Sir, of our affedtimate and belt wishes for a long contiiuance of your health and happiness. (Signed) PopE ' Chairman, Wm. Allum, Secretary. New-York, June 13, 1794. To the Republican Natives of Great Britain and Ireland, retdent in the City of New-York. Gentlemen, I think myfelf peculiarlyhappy in finding ir! this country so maiy persons of sentiments similar to my own, forne of whom have probably left Great Bri tain or Ireland on the fame account, and to be so cheerfully welcomel by them on my arrival. You have aleady had expeifance of the difference b:tWeen the governments of the two courtries, and I doubt not, have seen fuffici;nt reason to give the decided preferenci that you do that of this. There all liberty of speech and of the press, as fir as poli tics are concerned, is at an »nd, and, the (pint of intolerance in natters of religton isalmoft as high as in the times ot the Stuarts. Here, having no coun tenance from government, whatever may remain of this spirit, from the igno rance, andconfequent bigotry, of form er times, it may be expected soon to die away; and on all fubjedts whatever, every man enjoys the invaluable liberty ot speaking and writing whatever he pleases. The wisdom and happiness of Repub lican governments, and the evils rcfult mg from hereditary monarchical ones, cannot appear in a flronger light to you than they do to me. We need only look to the present state of Europe, and of America, to be fully fatisfied in this refpeft. The foimer will easily re form themselves, and among other im provements, I am persuaded, will be the removal of that vestige of servitude to which you alluded, as it so ill accords with the spirit of equal liberty, from which the reft of the system has flowed, ' whereas no material reformation of the < many ab«fes to which the latter are sub- • J 'lt ,s . , t0 be f «red, can be made ' without violence and confuiion. congratulate you, gentlemen, as you do me, on our arrival in a country >n which men who wi(h well to their fellow-citizens, and llfe their best en _ deavors to render them the mot import ant services, men who are an honor to ' human nature, and to any country, are - 111 no danger of being treated like the worst of felons, as is now the cafe in 2 Great Britain. i . Ha PPy<h°uld I think myfelf in join- I ing with you in welcoming to this coun try every friend of liberty who is ex- 1 posed so danger from the tyranny'of thi - . British government, and who, while - they continue under it, mult expedl to - (hare in thole calamities, which its pre lent infatuation must, fooaer or later, - bring upon it r But let us all join in ' fupplicat ions to the great parent of the 1 universe, that, for the fake of the ma ny cxt client characters 111 our native country, its government may oe re formed, and the judgments impending over it prevented.
