National Gazette
Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
What is this article about?
A correspondent sarcastically critiques Fenno's Gazette for its lack of impartiality, noting it publishes observations on the 'Letters of a Farmer' addressed to the Yeomanry of the United States but excludes the letters themselves, likely because they question the Secretary of the Treasury's fair dealing on national manufactures. The editor is mocked with a biblical reference.

The public says a correspondent, must be strongly impressed with the impartiality of Fenno's Gazette, when they see whole columns of it devoted to "Observations on the letters of a farmer, addressed to the Yeomanry of the united states whilst these letters themselves are carefully kept out of that immaculate Gazette, doubtless, because of that impurity of thought which impeaches the fair dealing of the Secretary of the Treasury with regard to national manufactures. But this one said Editor patiently waits his reward, in the consolatory reflection of Satan to Job, 'If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?'
