Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

Mr. Jefferson's intimacy with Dr. Logan—their frequent communications previous to his departure suddenly, and almost unaccountable—a departure in the same vessel that carried Kosciuszko, Volney, &c.—his reception at Paris by Talleyrand and Merlin—carry an irresistible conviction that he was well understood, and recommended from America. This Dr. Logan, it is true, is the same person with whom Mr. Monroe, while minister at Paris, corresponded; but this circumstance alone could not have obtained for him an admittance to the President of the directory of the bad nation—He must have had other credentials—From whom could they have been obtained? From none but the leaders of the French faction. Is it not time for the people to dismiss these leaders such as Jefferson, Gallatin, Tawell, and Lyon, from their confidence and service? Or will they countenance acts of usurpation upon the sovereign authorities? Will they trust power to men who, not content with their legitimate share, though great and far above their desert, are grasping that which has never been confided to them—are undertaking to conduct the affairs of the United States, without the lawful will of the people, and in derogation of the constituted authorities? Aut Caesar, aut nullus—Caesar, or nobody is the motto of every tyrant—Hence the embassy of Logan—Look to it people of America, and, by times, take heed!
MARCUS.
