THE WASHINGTON DINNER, j ' GentIemrn, If jou have prepared all the matter for your next paper, we must beg you to take 5 tiu t euough to make room for our communication, as it is one br great importance Wef wish, through the 'medium of. your )a per, to inform the People of the United States, that IF we- had been invited, by the Washington Committee of Ar rangement, '.'-to attend their festival : on the 4th of July, we should not have staid awayi because Mr. Edwards was excluded. It is true, that in point of fact,, we vverer not invited; but it is equally true, that we might have been invited, if the Committee had chosen to do so ; arid we are not willing that an omission on their part should de prive us of an opportunity to express our opinions in the newspapers. The Committee probably failed to invite us, because we were not in Washington City. We wifl not for a moment be lieve, that it was because they were in sensible of our claims to that distinc tion.! We have been induced to.make this communication by two considera tions : By shewing that we -differ in nninion from Mr. Wirt we shall prove the fallacy of the notion, that great ifcen will thins: alike ; and, as the" weight of his name may , induce some people to tninK mr. riQwarus an nijmcv man, we wish to counterbalance it; by throw ing bur names into the opposite scale. We think he must kick the beam, be cause, as politicians, we are! almost as. distinguished as he and because in the courts and law books our names oc , cur much more frequently than his. Indeed, unless we are much mistaken (for we can never suppose that vanity could make such great men as we are, ridiculous) our names, despite of the neglect with which we are now treated by the Virginia Lawyers, will be ; re membered and will be pronounced with veneration long after it will have been forgotten that Wmi Wirt ever jived. It may seem extraordinary, thinking thus highly of ourselves, that we should both sign our names to counterbalance that of Mr. WirtFor this we have several reasons. As the public are to make up their opinions on the authori ty of the names of us great men, we wish to decide the matter at once and forever. 'Besides, we are twin bro thers, (though our names are different,) and have rarely been separated in our lives ; it would be painful to us to be parted now, and indeed, either of us, in this new situation, would feel awk wark without the support of the other. In addition, we believe tliat Mr. Wirt Ioes jiot stand alone in tliis matter, but is countenanced in it by one Mr. Southard, a young gentleman irbnr New Jersey, whose principal notoriety arises from his thinking that the essence of naval discipline is comprised in the raaxim, a Post Captain can do ? no wronr,,-and vhb is supposed to hold, that wtyen a captain kicks a lieutenant, the lieutenant is to make a low bow, and say, ''1 humbly thank you for the :honor,.;Sir.'.l:e'l.:4r -lrv '. -'"v! Although it is hard for : men of our age to alter habits, in which they have indulged for centuries, we will decline 'pledging ourselves to prosecute" this matter .further 5 but (as we wish to followout the great ;exarnple of MrJ AVirt,) we request, that if any printer shall allege that we have not authorisd this publication, you will immediate ly contradict him Some ill 'judging t riend, ' not estimating our importance j as hiffhlv as we' do. may think itT ne cessary, in order td screen us from the imputation1 of forwardness fiance, to deuv that we-have told the public, whenve werenot asked, tt "ader.certain circumstances, we would - Mve -gone to a dinner, f to which we ! "vere not invited but if any friend ' shall; think so, it will only; pro vej that he doe3 hot . know how; great : men we ; :are. , :''rt'A'-y:'---;:,yV Hoping that we may never have to -pay our respects to "you on a less, agree able occasion, we subscribe ourselves your obedient servants, : V' JOHN DOE, . RICHARD ROE. jr. o. as our communication is m tended for all the people of the United States,' it may seem strange that we have published it in your paper, which able and respectable as it is, circulates Httle, except in Virginia and North -Carolina. But for this, too, we have a precedent in point The Secretary of State has given us to understand, by his j conduct, that! public documents may be most appropriately published in newspapers wUich do notf circulate thinking I presume that the" peop! e wil I have to blame themselves, as Mr. 5prce would Willingly send them his paper, if they would pay him for it Apropos, could the loyal editor of the National Government Journal, have got his no tions of treason from the Attorney Ge neral ? They are a little like those which prevailed . in England some cen turies ago ; but our attendance on the courts enables u to know,, that they have been long exploded there, and it is now" attempted lor the first time, to introduce them into this country. By the by, do the nonsubscnbing rea- ders" 01 liie wasnington nepuDiican eceive the National Journal ? now receive J. D. R. R. In the reign of Edward the 4th a gentle man, whose favorite buck the King had killed in hunting, having wished it. horns and all in the belly of him who counselled the king to kill it ; -and the king having killed it without any counsellor, it was held that the wish was a compassing of the king's death, and the poor man was condemned and executed for high treason...We recollect that when John Adams, the first was President, even Judge Chase held thata he, scandalous and malicious words spoken of the President were only-sedition ; yet because they constituted even sedition, that administration was denominated the reign of terror. What term, or what combi nation of terms can aptly describe the ad mi nistiation of John Adams the second, if the editor of his " rational Government Journal' shall be able to establish the doctrine- that 1 9 mere opposition to the administration is trea-r son? - -..

He saj s Mr. Adams's oppo nents ' represent Paine as the apostle of political and religious freedom." Now they have said - nothing about the religious opinions or writings of Mr. Paine. But that he has ever and justly been considered the apostle of political liberty is abundantly proved by the votes and thanks of Congress now on record, for his political writings before, during,, and after. the revolution. The Editor of the Journal asks ' are the people -of New-England now called upon to sanction Paine and condemn Adams r" , This cjuestion is thus put by the friends ot Mr. Adanis in order that they may turn the prejudices .excited against Paine in consequence of his writings on religious subjects, to their own advan tage. Paine's religious principles, we trust, will never be sanctioned by the public voice in any country but this does not. affect the enquiry now coing on, respecting the political opinions of another man. We have nothing to uo with Paine, in relation to the business in hand. I The question is, . what are the political principles1 of John Quiw cy Jidams? and not what were the re ligious opinions. of Thomas JPaineP Now we say, in answer to this question, that J. Q. virfaras's principles are nnti republican monarchical. And for proof,' re fer to sen timents which he has advanced and maintained with all the ability for which he is so justly celebra ted, andwith all the obstinacy and te nacity which are his characteristics. It is of no -consequenee what occasion drew forth these sentiments whether it was a controversy with Thomas Paine, Alexander Smyth e, or Gales & Seaton. The main object of the people is to get at his real sentiments ; and this his fondness for, wielding the cudgel, on every possible occasion, seems likely to give them abundant opportunities. The 4 -servile presses," the Bos ton Patriot and Essex Register, charge the National Republicans of this state with forming an unnatural and corrupt union with the Federalists, with a class of citizens of whom these immaculate papers speak as if they were deserving abhorrence and to'be shunned as car rying about them a political pestilence. This charge is not triie and they know it. . ' The National Republicans-pursue with firm stena the path of principle. They support no federal candidate for the Presidency; and they do not follow in hA tmin of anv aDostate from 'the federal rariksV They support the elec tion of the Republican candidate norni; nated according 0 the ancient, invari f able, 'accredited usages of the party, and the man who is emphatically &e choice of the Republicans of the na tion, j If the Federalists of this state choose to tread ihis path it is open to th em. I fth ey are wil 1 i ng to ral ly about me stanaara w iNanonai itepuoucan ism, they nave a right so to do, every honest man ought to I be cheerfully received. " If theLaid of be and wi they prefer to exert their influence in favor of a JVat ional9 instead of a sec tidnal candidate, it is a proof of their enlarged views and political wisdom. and if: they prefer the consistent re publican .and the honest man to him who betrayed their cause and sold them for his own aggrandisement nobody has any just cause to complain. But the National Republicans form no union Iwith political opponents by a compromise of principle. Thevlmain- tain, as they, ever nave done, the true republican faith. They have raised the republican flag, nailed it to the mast, and will defend it to the last , i . The Federalists have no candidate yet they are citizens, they are not disT tranchised y they are a large part ot the people of this commonwealth : in their ranks are; to be found many, very many persons eminent ior 7 tneir piety, vir tues, talents, learning, public spirit and public services. Thev have a choice among the candidate for the Presidency, and they mean to express it, for they will not be trampled upon. They, have their political rights and in tend to exercise them, in spite of all the intrigues of the Domination and Gen eral ticket cabal, whose conduct has been so. outrageous as to drown all mi nor considerations in the general burst of indignation, promptedv by the feel ings off common honesty in the breast of every upright man in the communi- r i ai 1 : .. .1 ...1 .... u. . J in this state will, we trust, be united to crush the iuilueiice and the schemes of this cabal, and their effor.tgr.wil)' be crowned with merited success. The National Republicans will oppose them; and if the Federalists do so they will exhibit a! proper spirit and deserve well ot their country. "" ' ! - ' 1 frouo as we snoum oe 01 navmgone of our profession elevated to the chair ot state, we really cannot hope! that our brother Adams, of the National Journal, will obtain the Presidency. The. plain truth is, he is too quarrel some and imperious a disposition for the pacific people ot the United States. He has had more quarrels than all our Presidents put together. First he had a dispute with Mr. Pickering, and is now getting into another controversy with the same gentleman. Which was or is in the right we don't pretend to? say; i we only state; iacts. He made a furious attack upon the dead Ames, the companion and friend of his youth, and like the a?s trampled upon and kicked the corpse ot the dead lion. At Ghent,' it is; well known he was exceeding un comfortable and rough to Bayard one of the most distinguished patriots of our country, andoneof the mildestand most amiable of men. Then he had his quarrel with Jonathan Russell, and afterwards he tried to get into a diffi culty with. Clay, but could not inake out, Soon after we find him en gag with Gen. Smythe, but there he caught a r ana sot the worst ot the oatue. 1 m t . 1 t ! - .

I This woman ran away from the subscriber, exe--cutor of John Hunt, dee'd, in the .summer. of 1808, and passed as a free woman by the name of Patsy Young, until about the first of June last, when she was apprehended as a runaway. On the 6th of the same month I : obtained possession of her in" the town of Halifax ; since which time, by , an order of Franklin county, court, she and her child Eliza have been sold, when the subscriber became the purchaser. She spent the great er part ot the . time sh - was Tun away, (say about sixteen years,) hr the neighbourhood of and in the town of Halifax ; one or two summers at Rock-Landings where!! am in formed she cooked for the hands employed on the Canal.
