To a Candid Public.
To trauquili/.e the fury of hi";a-lernpcved,
though laudable zeal, to vindicate my own
character*, and to confburtd the malevolences
of m*li'4k)H8 fwsojud enemies, I have con-
sideivd it necessary to make the following
, staicment'of facts :
I enjijftsatcd to the United Slates of Ame-
rica in the veer 1799, awl 'since 3 81/0 have
been employed in teaching Navigation, &c.
&c. to tile satisfaction and advantage, I hope,
of my empliu'rs. In iSO.i I went to England
for the list time, in order to settle my fa-
ther's concerns, and returned to this country
with the firm resolution of spending the re -
niaiiicler of my days in it.
X have during my residence, on FellVPoint
been accustomed to frequent.the shop of Dr.
Mocre ivlicn I have had a little leisure'. On
the 6th instant, I went there as usual ; and
in the course of our conversation on the to-
pics of the day, I expressed my regret at the
sanguinary afhi.r off the Capes, and lamented
•the defenceless state of Baltimore ; observ-
ing, that a few fi ynt.-s might get up and
would play the d—1 with us : I also gave it as
my opinion that the best disciplined army in
the world could not take possession of Ha-
lifax, it being defended by nature as veil as
art. These topics certainly were the chief
heads, and I believe the whole subject* of
our discourse, and for the candor and since-
rity of my statement I sofetanly appeal to
God. On leaving the shop, and finding the
Doctor somewhat irritated and lieated,-I ex-
claimed—' I'll be d-----.d if I do not defend
this place at the cannon's mouth, or at the
point of the bayonet as firm as any nam it."
Certain persona having heard toe recital
of these circumstances, resounded them with
aggravated coloring, which has tended to in.
•flame the minds of the citizens on Fef's-
Foint against me. But with v,hat propriety
can I be charged with acting or Sneaking' in
any manner derogatory to the interest or ho-
nor of this country, from the preceding re-
lation of facts ! And particularly when it is
known that I have adopted this as my future
pluce of abode ; that I rejected a lucrative
offer made to ine, by the parents of my wife,
if I would remain in fSiglahd ; that I have
sent tor her t> America t > partake of my
. fortunes in tee 'and ,-, Iiich I have adopted ; and
that of the five engagenn nts in which I have
been, thejonl) oil > in which I was wounded.wns
indefei.ee of American prnpi-rty Will no:
two wounds—one in my thigh, and one on my
forehead—together with a present-of 100 gui-
neas for my efforts, attest m\ devotion to the
imerests of the Un ted States ? Or wall mv
-well -mown and deel red intention of joining
,thc Fell's Point corps ,A' Artillery, be adduc-
ed against me as a proof of my hostility to this
nation and of my friendship for the British >
I have been accustomed to disi ovirse of ma-
ii-lium ailaii-s and naval tactics, it being a
subject with which I am conversant and on
which I like to speak; and surely in a free
. country a man is not. to be deprived of the
p ivuege ol talking on such a tonic whilst he
conforms to the rules of propriety—These I
pever have violated, nor utteaed a sentiment
calculate^.! to wound the feelings of the warm-
est patriot ; and when the day of peril conns,
no man Mould more willingly volunteer his
services in defence of the Union than myself.
Before I conclude, I solemnly declare that
the expressions I made use of as abov^-, were
riot intended to insult or degrade the honor
or- valor of the American name.

I esteem nn indispensib'e duty, obligatory
j upon everj' one, as a Philanthropist or a
: Christian, to furnish every thing which may
) contribute to the comfort and service of Our
' brethren—it is a duty imposed by the second
I great commandment given iff the law", and
established by our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, " to love our neighbors as ourselves,"
which he ha3 left as a criterion or mark of
our disciplcship. ' By this," says he," shall
all men (Jews, Turks and Infidels) know ye
are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another, John xru. 35 ; & as a guard against
m\y person assuming the great Christian
i name, without this sure mark, and thereby
incurring the condemnation of hypocrisy.
<' If a man say, I love God, and hatetll his
Brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not
his Brother, whom he hath seen, how can
he love God, whom he hath not seen," John
IV. 20.
I write this under a conscious impression of
being serviceable to my brethren, in which
I include the universal family of mankind,
and not this or that particular denomination
of Christians, or .part of the globe. The
man who in spirit and in truth, possesses the
love of God, dares not contract his sense of
the words brother or neighbor to any less
sphere, far " Of Truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons : But in
every nation, he that feareth him and
worketh righteousness, is accepted -with
him"—Acts x. 34, 35 : therefore let no
man call common and unclean, that which
the Lord' hath purified for his use and ac-
ceptance.
I write not to inflame the spirit of con-
troversy, and if any should attack me upon
this principle, my defense will rest in in-
flexible silence. I write not for the praise
but the use of men ; I have a view to a bet-
ter reward ; therefore I esteem not what men
may say of me, whilst I have the praise of
an approving conscience.
Let no medical eharacter be displeased
with what I have written, should their own
opinions be different from mine. I am of-
fering nothing but What' has been before
known ; but merely presenting my opini-
ons and success in this practice. I pretend
not to be without error. 1 am open to con-
vincement, and therefore solicit, as a service
duo to mankind and a favor offered to my-
self, that if any professional character has a-
ny thing further to offer on this formidable
disease, (confined mostly to children) he
will come forward with it, as contributing
something to the general Stock of good done
—and not in the spirit of controversy,which
may serve only to mar its utility.
The Cynanche Tracheaiis, or croup, is a
disease much more common in this country
than any other I was ever in : in short, I
never witnessed a case of it till I arrived in
Baltimore ; and necessarily, in the com
mencement of my practice, have been more
than once unsuccessful. The symptoms
characterizing this disease, I shall not at-
tempt to describe. Words, I consider ina-
dequate to convey a correct knowledge of it.
It is only to be obtained by visiting patients
laboring under it ; it is, I believe, unlike e-
very thing else ; it is of a nature so peculi
arly distressing, that a nice observer need
only witness a case, never to forget it. I
would therefore advise every one, more es-
pecially parents', to visit the little sufferers,
if it be.only for information: for the fatal
mistake of ignorance, supposing it to be on
ly an unusual hoarseness, from which it es-
sentially differs, has consigned numbers to a
premature grave, that might have been re-
stored by timely assistance.
It is, I think, evidently of an inflammato-
ry kind, from the efflorescence or redness ob-
served on the amygdala and fauces of the
throat, and also a continuation of this ap-
pearance, discovered by dissection, on the in-
ternal surface of the trachea or windpipe'
from which, by small glandular bodies, is
given out a viscous clammy mucus, which
forms a follicular membranous coating, and
constitutes the disease.
I remember, some time since, a physician
in Virginia recommending in a most confi-
dent manner the use of the lancet, or blood-
letting, even to syncope, or fainting. In
two cases lately, one of which was in my
own house, I have pursued this plan, and to
my astonishment and gratification I found
the effect exceed my warmest expectations.
The laborious breathing, and the disease it.
self, evidently gave way, previous to the e-
vacuation being stopped ; and in my opinion,
from observation, the habit is prepared for a
more favorable acceleration of the effects of
the medicines administered, which with me
invariably are, tartar emetic and calomel con-
jointly, in large and frequently repeated do-
ses, till the stomach is brought into full ac-
tion ; an effect hitherto with me difficult to
be obtained, from the universally allowed
torpor that organ suffers in all these cases.
To this plan I add, as auxiliaries, the warm
bath, blisters, and the oxymel of seneca.
This root is deserving, in a great measure,
the.praise the Archers have bestowed upon
it ; but I never should venture to depend up-
on it alone. And as an improvement upon
experiment, I am induced to prefer the oxy-
mel To the syrup of this drug, /. e. to be boil-
ed in vinegar instead of •water, and sweet-
ened with honey or molasses. In a former
case, nearly two years since, of' my own
child, I preserved a quantity of the membra-
neous mucus, and took a portion, to which
I added in solution a quantity of alkaline
salt, viz, salt of tartar,'but found it no way
changed in its texture•: to the other portion
I added some vitriolic acid, and the conse-
quence was, a complete decomposition. I
could drop it with as much ease and accura-
cy as clear water ; and this suggested the
idea of combining the seneca root with an
acid in the form of an oxymel, and have
found it an essential improvement to the
medicine. JOSEPH BMEVITT.

ORATION,
Delivered in the Ctfpiiot, on the \t'i July, ISO/.
¦ By SXELTON JONES, Esq.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
UPON the dawn of this da3' for one
and thirty years, we have been accustomed
to look with the gladness of freedom. We
have annually hailed its arrival, as the au
spicious birth day of American liberty. It
was the refulgent morning of emancipation,
and its mild radiance has cheered our hearts,
and lent an hilarity to our countenances,
which neither the trophies of guilty concpie
rors, nor the magnificence of mighty mo
narchs, can ever bestow. Much would it
joy me, upon occasion of this holy festival,
to approach my fellow-citizens with the a
sua! congratulations, and greet them with
the accustomed salutations, upon theacconi
plishment of another year, of peace, liber
ty and happiness. Rut our ancient foe,
with whom we wrestled in our youth, will
no Ionf/er permit us to enjoy the blessings
of pence: No declaration of war has, been
proclaimed, but the act of war has been com-
mitted by the foul, coward like, cold blood-
ed murder, of our unprepared, and defenceless
fellow citiwns.
I will not say that our countrymen have
been killed -because that expression may
imply death by accident, or in some manner
that may bp justified or excused ; but I use
the word murder, in its felonious and in its
basest sense : for there has not been the
faintest glimmering of provocation on our
part, nor the smallest exertion of manly va-
lour on theirs, to illumine the dark attiocity
which enshrouds this gloomy/event. No,
there is not my fellow citizens, one solitary
circumstance in all this tragical transaction,
to do awav the guilt, or extenuate in the
slightest dejrref, the enormity of this medi-
tated murder.
The free and high minded citizens of this
great and elevated western commonwealth,
have been treated like the slaves of despot
ism : They have been forced into an involun-
tary servitude, onboard those prisons, called
British Men of War : They have been com
pelled under, the lash, to risk their lives, in
defence of a cause, not merely indifferent and
foreign to theii's and their country's inte-
rest, but often hostile to both : As an aggra-
vation (if any aggravation can be added to
to the loss of liberty,) they have sported
with their lives, and in several instances, par-
ticularly the detestable occurrence, which it
one object of this meeting to deplore and exe-
crate, they have actually murdered them ••
Yes ! the *' sensible warm motwn" of our
brave and generous tars, is converted into a
" kneaded clod ;" and the remorseless grave
has received their lifeless trunks, or their
swoln corsws are buried deep in the caverns
of the ocean, or they have become food for
¦¦harks and dolphins. Mourn, mourn, my
countrymen, for your honor is insulted your
independence is a mockery, and your liber-
ty itself is but the tittering jest of a tyrant's
slaves, hut let our mourning be short ; let
indignation succeed it ; let the lightning of
liberty from the west, blast, dissipate, and
scatter into " thin air" the heavy cloud of
guilt and oppression that lowers in the east.
Nothing can exhibit to us in a stronger
point of view, the national insult we have
received, than the melancholy contrast be
tween the appearance which the Chesapeake
may be supposed to have worn at her departure
from Norfolk and her return to that place.
The frigate was built at that port, and from
that circumstance alone may be presumed to
have been a favorite there. Behold then the
citizens assembled to witness her departure,
and follow her with orisons for a prosperous
voyage ; the cheery sailors to the sound of
a music of their own, raise the cumbrous
anchor ; shouts answer shouts from the beach
to the frigate ; now the frangrant gales of our
groves bosom her white canvass ; now the
broad flag, emblem of our independence,
gemmed and embossed with the imitative
stars of Heaven,waves in the fanning breeze;
the high long streamer curls to the " char-
tered libertine," the wind ; the proud ves-
sel divides the foaming billows, & the sai-
lor bid.3 adieu to the happy shores which
seem to recede from him : thus borne in
majesty along, sailed a representative of the
American honor, freighted with the dignity
of the republic. Unlucky cargo ! ship-
wrecked in sight of land ! freight, cargo, all,,
but the dishonored and violated vessel, rifled
by the ruffian hands of British pirates ! Lo !
see her return ! slow, sad, and wearisome
she conies ; the ocean, a mirror, reflects her
dishonored hulk back upon her perforated
sides ; shattered, dismasted, shorn of her
national emblems and honors, she sinks ig-
nominiously upon the mud of unwholesome
wharves ; her deck still reeking with the
blood, and deformed with the mangled car-
cases of our slaughtered countrymen ! Ame-
ricans ! that blood calls for vengeance upon
its authors and those authors are the wicked
and infamous men who now rule Britain.
During the administration of that great
political luminary (Mr. Fox) there was an
approach towards amity, and even cordiality,
between the government of the United States
and that of Great-Britain. But the spirit of
Fox has fled, and with it has departed, per-
haps forever, the good genius of the English
nation. The administration which has suc-
ceeded Fox, is the most corrupt and trea-
cherous upon earth ; and, however, as a
peaceable and humane nation, we may regret
the evils which our measures may inflict, on
the innocent people of Britain, yet in prac-
tice we cannot separate the government from
the people, nor confine the dreadful retalia-
tion which we meditate, and ought to bestow,
to those only who have been guilty of the
.aggressions on us. With one hand and
I with one heart, then, let us unite to take an
exemplary vengeance, on that government,
. and that people, which, for so many years,
have annoyed and insulted us.
This day snould revive inns the spirit of
'76, and animate us to rally ar and the
standard of that independence which was
then declared. The great state paper which
records that event, has been a continued and'
lasting glory to America—Let us not lose
the high behests, which the wisdom and
valor of our fathers achieved—I,et not the
pure sentiments contained in that immortal
instrument, be ever sullied by derelictions
from its principles-^Let not that which is
now our pride, be turned to our shame : it
remains for 113 to shew that we are the legi-
timate offsprings of those sires whose deeds
have rendered the name of an American ci-
tizen a name of honor and renown:
I shall not attempt in this concise address,
which the particular nature of the case,
seemed only to require to appeal to your pas-
sions ; I should be wanting in my respect
to you and to myself were I to do so. 1
should not do well to endeavor to rouse in
the bosom of any American those feelings
Which he is presumed already to possess,
and which it is certainly dishonorable for
him not .to possess. And happy am I to
observe that a task of this kind is spared
to every man ; for no one meets his fellow-
citiezn who is not agitated w'ilh emotions
corresponding with his own.—We have for-
gotten, we have buried in oblivion, forever,
I trust, the divisions which have distracted
our country. Gentlemen of talents and
tue, which expression comprehends every
human excellence, who have hitherto differ-
ed with their fellow citizens on points of
local policy, come forward with pVompti-
ttide, Zealand firmness, to avow to the nati-
on and to the universe; their confidence in
the wisdom and patriotism of the govern-
ment. There are now no divisions among
us; we have no parties, we are one great
integral colossus of liberty, standing upon a
rock of adamant ; and with whatever vio-
lence the bleak surges of the Atlantic may
heave her vast floating castles against onr
base, they shall retire back like the retiring
wave- and burst like the bubble that swims
on the surface.
