Derry field, Ian. at, 1810. SIR I had the pleafureyefter. day of receiving an addrefs from the Firfl Magiftrate of the only republic on earth. This letter compliments me highly upon my fervices as a foldier and praifes my patriotifm. It is true f love the country of my birth ; for it is not only the country I Ihould choofe above all others but it is the only fpot where I could wear out the remnent of my

days with any fatisfaction. Twice my ccuntry has been invaded by foreign enemies and twice I went with the reft to obtain peace. And when the object was gained, I returned to my tarm and ray original occupation. I have ever valued peace fo high, that I would not facrifice it for any thing but freedom ; yet fubmiflion to infult J never thought the way to gain or fupport either. I was pleated with your difmilTal of the man the En- ;:!'), to n hih ; : becaufe the' :-'c ny Uc- experi nicnt tint wc air the lame nation ?.it vvc! vvcrin "76 fro'vvnllrwMc hy a --!, and ha yi'o .iiii c v::cju;by expe r'nrf' ii iLc enmity of the Briufh nation h to be teared their alliance is much more d.inge roin. For I have fought with them and againft them, and found them treacherous and ungenerous as friends and difltonerable as enemies. J have tried tlic French likewife, firft as enemies and then as fricuds ; and although a!! the (Uong partialities ot youth were againft them, flill 1 formed a niorc favorable

opinion of them. But let us watch them. However, among all the dangers that j have been wit nefsof to our country and our Krpublican inrtitutions.V

perhaps there is none that

requires a more watchful eye thau our internal Britilh Faction. if the communication of therefulc of my experiance can be of any ufe in the approaching florm, or if any ufe can be derived from any example of mine myftrongeft wifh will be gratified. The few days or weeks of the remainder of my life will be in friendfaip with James Madifon. . JOHN STJRK. To JAMES MADISONX Prefident of the United States.

DrCIIRISTOPIIER CRABTREE, Esq,. t AND OTHERS. So al! agreed through fweet diverfitie, This Garden to adorn, with great varietie. TO THE PUBLIC. A confidrrable par; of the propnfed

work, will confift in abufe of the public in general, or, what is the fame thing, in lampooning their vices and foibles ; and we doubt not but every man will be fo iixious to hear what is faid againft. himfelf that he will without hcfitation purclufc and carefully perufe our paper. The chief objr & however, of the prefent addrefs to thepu()lic, is, like all Authors, to puflf oiirfelvrs into notice ; fct forth our literary pretenfions, and eftablifh incontrovertahly, that we are as well acquainted with the Claflics, the Sciences, Trades and Profrffions, ts ti c mother that bore us. Bv this method like4 wife, we exyeft to command the attention and patronage of our countrymen. We warn all perfons not to condemn our works thro prejudice, without having read them ; nor precipitately and ungenerouily to fcoft at them, becaufe they have the misfortune of being an Oifspringof the wild woods of Kentucky ; but we intreat them to join with us to fofter the native genius of cur llate ; trim the untried pinions of the Wtftern Mufe ; awake the minds of our Freeborn Youths from their lethargy ; and open before their yes, in delightful profprft, intellectual fields which they may be inticed to explore. We are proud to inform the public, that the gates of our Garden are now thrown open ; and wr invite them to enter in ; examine its productions, and contemplate its beauties. Within it, Apollo reigns, who, to charm our courteous v:litor9, Hull img original verft-s to divine airs ; and enrich its fernery with all the decorations which can delight a refined imagination ; and the Mifcell ineous Mufe, iliall fcatter in the pathway of our fpectators, u Flowers of all hue and without thorny the rose." In the mean while jolly faced Wit, fliall hang an Epigram, Pun or Anecdote, on every Tree, to entertain our vifitorr. We have endlcfs variety in our Garden, pud know how to join bitter and fweet, and charm by novelty even the Thiflle and Nettle are not wanting there ; by which the rude critic, who endeavours to del'poil our flowers, will be ftui.g nor arc we without. Crab-Apples, and giten Perfimon, with which we will undertake at ny time to fliiFcn, and make rough, the fmoath and nimbi'' tongues of ilandtrers. In fliort li kinds of jerbs that ever entered into the Medical Vocabulary of an old dame, we have, and mean to have in our Garden ; whether efticacious iu eafin the heart-arh ; in foothing the troublous paiTions ; in deanfi.ig the coriupt fouls of men ; or ii Cumulating and enlivening the Hupid fenfes. Lralt fome conceited yon-fh may take it into his brains (head we mean) to queflion our literary abilities, we here give fuch a fptcim-n of our acquirements, that ve arc confident no one will have the boldnrfs to ititeirupt u hereafter. We, thcrcfoic, in form the Dolors, that we know Efcuhpi as ws d'-ifird, ard tint the belt methods of curing the tooth-ath are arc to uoil your head well, ind lh"u H) ke all yuur lecth out, or to fill your mouth with watrr anc hold it ever the fire until it boils " lu Military man ai.d Ducliit, we inform, ti.-t uns-inJ gnn.pov drr, were inventrd h) Swrts, a Monk of C lon.
