Timothy Pick- cringe encourages roc iu ww wi. befote you, for your good, with an apo' logy for myself. In the doing cf which I consider my self s'.ill more disinterest ed, and indifferent to the slanders with which bad men have assailed me, if pos sible, thin even my worthy friend and compatriot has proved himself in the se rfesv.of Vumlers, which he from the most disinterested motive's; has been pleased to address you. You will have the good ness to confess that whichever party may succeed in your elections the re sult, personally speaking, will have been indifferent to me. I am not a candidate for a Seat, in either House of Congress. And perhaps his is the only material point in which my situation differs from that of my honorable friend. From the profiundest depths of. a nmeritedy con tempt and infamy we arc both com pelled to raise our voices ; and you ought to be satisfied that I, who now address you, equally with that good man, possess the means of acquiring an adequate knowledge of the subject, and integrity to present it with truth. My name has for many years been the theme of reproach with my enemies. It has been more. O cruel unjust de gree, of destiny ! it has become synoni mou with Traitor ? Since you are the proper tribunal to decide on the merit or dement ot my conduct in public life, justice would re quire, thst before a final judgment, should be heard In my own defence. This tight, however, I would wave, were my personal interests or reputation a' lone at stake, in tnese considerations yoq must know my feelings have long . - . a- m. since become most iranquuiy inamer ent. Indeed, so far from wounding my feeline, it is from the malevolent re proaches of my enemies, that I shall draw proofs that I am not destitute of merit. Were Aaron urrt Lucius Cn tiline and 7adss Iscarict destitute of merit ? And yet who more abused, re preached and reviled, by a host of un trineibted slanderers than they I I hate Mr. J fferson I hate 'the government cfthe United States; and I hate them for your sakes, not mine. I have but little expectation, however, of working you up to the same degree of rage and hatrtd I so cordially teel my sell, iiut while I have hopes, I will not despair. In the prostcutlon of my works, I will Uf before you such facts as I have, and when facts fail, 1 shall nope to con vince rou from the abundance of my own inventions. x I standee fore you in the character of a known informer and to convince you of my sincerity,! shall subscribe my testimony with my own Droper name. Should I be so unfortu nateas to be detected in a falsehood, it will.be unintentional and when frankly exposed, as frankly confessed. Some of you, I tear, will imprudently pronounce my character too base to me rit your: attention. If this fact is bcliev ed, my labour will be losr. But my fellow citizens, it is lorju that 1 expose my self to this persecution ; to the ill will, tbe hatred and the vengeance of men whose arts, intrigues-and deceptions I roust necessarily lay open. For your axon salt then, I entreat you to give me a partial hearing. If my sifcry be long, so Is the series of your wrongs tOhthe hypocritical villain." , - And then you tuuered not toryour u u maieaa vantage, but that your leaders, pretended pdtrioSs, mghi ohtain and hold power place and emoluments of ejice I 0h the noble and disinterested Anthony! - Hear the noble Anthony J Yea my fellow-citizen!,' to their, ambition, avarice, envy and re venge, your interests, and the honour of our country have been sacrificed." Of these important troths, you will recollect I marry yean agoapprised you. When it became necessary for me to retire from the post I so honorably held at West Point, and to which I had been called by the special favour of Washing. ton, I addressed to you my' solemn im pressions of men' ho then governed you, and I entertain no doubt of shewing that you are governed .by men .; of .the same views at present' H I expect now to satisfy f otS of what I solemnly narned you. - irhta 1 retired H from your service.. But you disregarded my retiring admonitions you slighted my parting counsels,; and.' the certain consequence of all this has been, that' your and my enemies have plunged bur country into a state of degradation and disgrace,' and brought upon it calami ties never before experienced. I told you, ; - - t. . v . 1 ;r I. That the aids afforded by France had been small and covertly given un til by maintaining the war, by our own strength, for three years, and capturing awhole British army, we had rendered, our. final success certain. . You all do, re member the part I took in capturing that army. You all did love tne then.M If not commander in chief myself, I was still by his side, or excuting his orders ; I was seeking clanger, and finding it in every part of the sanguine field.- T do not recollect as my honourable friend, in detailing to you his military career, has once mentioned the wounds, he re ceived, or the blood he shed for your sakes. But I was wounded and bled that you might be free. Will you. listen to me then ? Will" you not believe me when I speak the truth f , 2.1 told you that although the French government at length furnished very considerable aics In men and money, and the operation of her navy Yet, that all this, proceeded from no regard for us, from no desire to promote the inte rests of the United States ; but merely to diminish the formidable power of her rival, by lopping off so large a portion of htr dominions the j. Slates. My confidential friend will bear me witness that I was never a friend to the Inde pendence ofthese States. I warned you, my tellow citizens, that by tearing our selves from Great-Britain, our natural parent, guardian and next friend, we should fall inio the odious and unnatural bosom of our enemies the French. In J J f t.tj a'. T- 1 1 I uccu, i. iuiu you, iiiai uniain Jiaa ucfer done us so much essential injury as our rulers, lor certain purposes, had endea vored to convince you that she had. G. Britain sent Vcu a commission of peace. Five of your friends and brethren were, delegated to you. They even bore' to you the humiliation of the Parent State. They entreated, they exhorted you to come back to your duty, to your allegi ance and to their protection Resting, however, on your unlimited, but mis placed confidence, in the supposed abili ty, integrity 8c patriotism of yoilr riilers, you were deaf to their offers of salvati on. Let me, my fellow-citizens, call your pointed attention to this matter.- It furnishes the bey to the wicked con duct of your government, and to all your own disasters. , Look back, I pray you, anu review mac perioa. ine wnoie majesty of Great-Britain in.the persons of five commissioners, supplicating, en treating you for the love of yourselves, to come back to yonr allegiance. Offering to settle every subject of dis pute to do you juiticej and more than justice ! Yet all remains unsettled while your rulers have been Uttering pro fessions Without number, of their sincere desire to adjust them I Will Vpu any longer trust these professions r Will you believe thaY G. Britain, oppressed with tbe weight of war, unexampled in the history of the world, can choose to avoid an accommodation with the Urn ted. States f When our j compliance would be so .useful to her, will you be. lieve her unwtuing to do us ample jus- tice in order to obtain it ? .Is it possible, think you, for her to. be so blind to her own interest as to refuse the hand of a mity and good will, if really stretched dut to her by the U.'States ?

BENEDIQT ARNOLD; From the (Trenton J i' True Jmerican?

In Connecticut, that land of " steady habits," where the Clergy and the Law yers have so long united as one man in opposition to Government, and in sup port of its enemies, we behold them at length splitting between two Candidates for Governor-the Clergy and their ad herehts clinging to Deacon Tread well, the Lawyers and their satellites rally ing round Lawyer Gtiswolri--and the Re publicans, obliged to choose between t torning the sca'e in favor of Gnswold-as the least evil of the two. In DELAWARE, too, the Federa lists arejat open war, and nothing is wanuq out exertion on tne part ot the Republicans to ensure them a decided victory, and permanent ascendency. A writer in a Philadelphia federal paper attributes the division among the feder alists ot ueiaware to the arbitrary and aristocratical conduct of the le3dtof that party, who " having had an office tor hve years must have it ten ; if ten, hTteen,and so on." " The family, (con tinues this writer) some of whom have been ever since the establishment of this Government in office, must still be f retained in case of a vacancy, some one of the family connection must fill 1 it ; if ever so rich, ever so much above ' the frowns of the world, ho matter for thatl lA poor man Who is well qualifi- - cu, as ii respects dis personal aDiiiues, may want in vain. x A degree of faihir I V nnhllltv Is lrnt 1V alKiik Una in a Kepubucan country this same odor man has snenr dnlFar whw the I man who gets the office has spent cents, in supporting the cause of the oarty 1 from whence the .rich man gets his rfrl A a nfvnfe..
