JAMES THOMPSON CALLENDER

There is distinct and additional evidence that he was determined, at all events, to embroil this country with France. Furthermore, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "Mr. Adams" (meaning the said President of the United States) "has only completed the scene of ignominy which Mr. Washington began."

Additionally, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "This last presidential" (meaning the said President of the United States) "felony will be buried by Congress in the same criminal silence as its predecessors."

Moreover, the words of the false, scandalous, and malicious tenor and effect following, that is to say, "Foremost in whatever is detestable, Mr. Adams" (meaning the said President of the United States) "feels anxiety to curb the frontier population."

Also, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "He" (meaning the said President of the United States) "was a professed aristocrat; he" (meaning the said President of the United States) "had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest" (innuendo against the interest and welfare of the United States).

Furthermore, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "Thus we see the genuine character of the President" (meaning the said President of the United States) "when but in a secondary station, he" (meaning the said President of the United States) "censured the funding system, when at the head of affairs, he" (meaning the said President of the United States) "reverses all his former principles. He" (meaning the said President of the United States) "exerts himself" (meaning the said President of the United States) "to plunge his" (meaning the said President's) "country" (meaning the United States of America) "into the most expensive and ruinous establishments. In the first two years of his" (meaning the said President of the United States) "presidency, he" (meaning the said President of the United States) "has contrived pretenses to double the annual expense of government, by useless fleets, armies, sinecures, and jobs of every possible description."

Additionally, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "By sending these ambassadors to Paris, Mr. Adams" (meaning the said President of the United States) "and his" (meaning the said President's) "British faction, designed to do nothing but mischief."

Moreover, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "In that paper, with all the cowardly insolence arising from his" (meaning the said President's) "assurance of personal safety, with all the fury, but without the propriety or sublimity of Homer's Achilles, this hoary-headed incendiary" (meaning the President of the United States), "this libeller" (meaning the said President) "of the governor of Virginia, bawls out to arms! then to arms! It was floating upon the fame bladder of popularity that Mr. Adams" (meaning the said President of the United States) "threatened to make this city the centrical point of a bonfire."

Lastly, the false, scandalous, and malicious words of the tenor and effect following, that is to say, "Reader, dost thou envy that unfortunate old man" (meaning the said President of the United States).
