The assertion of a "Jacobin" in a late Philadelphia paper, that the President of the United States, i.e. "the Executive of the United States" is preparing "to join the league of Kings against France;" is one of those barefaced falsehoods which defeat the intentions of their promulgators: And is a species of ambush insult to the people of the United States, which none but a real "Jacobin" could commit. If we despise the fabricators of such falsehoods, we ought not nevertheless to suffer them to deceive the world that know them not.
