M'' Jefferson, at the, distance of six or se
ven '.hundred miles, arid .myself at the dis
tance of almost four hundred miles, have
both been attacked in th legislature of Mas
sachusetts, by this toothless rattle snuke, the
listator of Sheffield. Mr. Jefferson, as!
President cf the United States, -has other
matters to attend (o than that of answtrinfj
this successor, of Callander, who finbhed his
career of slander by putting -ah end to his
existence; and as to myself, Mr. Hulbert
may trte by the reply I now-make to .him,
that I hold him and his abuse in laughable
derision.
One of his attacks on Mr. Jefferson is in
troduced inthe following maimer.
Jefferson invited 'Thomas PairTe' to leave
France and return to the United States. Let

true, that death was eternal sleepx for he has

that such an inscriptio v v a put up by a V V.
tional - decree, or by any other decree or or

where.; v. .
Itis also false, that all religionin Frnncewov

bly passed a decree- to banibh ,the refractory
priests. ' Th6se who look the path of fidelity
to the republic, performed their worship s :
before, except that ? they were prcliUud
"making public processions ir the streets ?. i;h
crucifixes, images of saints, ; &c. and an to t'
Protestant church in the Iue St. Thomas,
at Paris, the service in it was never interi un-
ted. ; -';. '
It is alto lulse, that all idea of a Gcd V?
discarded by a decree or by any authofitj,
whatever. Th- only decree that was passed
by the convention, on the subject of creeds,
is directly the reverse" of what this imposter
- says. The decree was, " The .French feople
' recognize the Supreme Being," that is, acknow
ledge and declare their belief in him ; arid
this decree was inserted Wi the French In--"guage,
oh several of the churches where tl.
constitutional priests, officiated.
' There was also an inscription'put up in the
time of Robespierre in front of the building
where the national convention ;' sat, which,
though it does honor to the French with re
spect to humanity, stands at a contradibtina
to this licentious libeller. The .inscription
was ..iThe: Divinity condemns tyrcnts.$" tkt
French people executes, the decree."
The religious .society of the Theophilan-
throphs, a word compounded of three Greek
words, and meaning adorers' rfGod and lovers
-cfjnanwyi established in the lime of the
directory, and Revelliere la Peaux, one cf
the 5 directors, was one of its principal foun
ders. It professed two articles as its creed,
thi belief of a God, end a slate of future exist
ence. Its moral dogmas - wtre exceedingly
good. i-
Havingnow'c"ettcted Hulbert in his false
hoods, not by mere assertion, as he deals in,
tbutby the evidence cf I. i t, I go to shew that
he is an impostor and a hypocrite, for not
withstanding hii clamor bkout religion, hs
docs not believe the christian religion him
self, nor h Ids it to be true. .
It is neither his belief nor disbelief that I
trouble myself about. Every man must an
swer for the truth of falsehood ol his creed at
the tribunal of his cieator, and not to that of
man, nor of one man to another. It is Hu
bert's hypocr'uy only that I expose.
If Mr. Hulbert, or the Speaker ol the house
of representatives, who heard his nonsense,
will write to Mr. John Fellows, Water-street,-New-York,
he will be informed of the evi
dence that will prove the hypocrisy of Hul
bert. .
Slander end hypocrisy are class mates in
the schK4 of vice. They are the necessary
aids of e ach other. The same cowardly dc
pravity of heart that leads to the one conduct
to the other, and Hulbert has made the tour'
ofboth.
Had net Hulbert prophaned the sanctuary
of legislation, and covered himself with the
privilege of a legislator, to r.onr forth his a-bus?,-
his slander and hi falsehoods, he
would have drawn no reply from me. . I

There is one thing, of which Mr. Hulbert
