BIOGRAPHY OF PAINE.
THOMAS PAINE, an eminent political wri-
’,-e,., was pornlat Thetford, in the County of
Norfolk, England, in January, 1737. After
being taught the rudiments ofacoi'ninon'Eng-
lish education, he was, at the age ofthirteen
years, placed‘ in his fatlier’sI_ shop, to pursue
the occupation ofa stay-maker. At the ex-
piration oftliree years, however, he abandon-
ed his native place, and travelled to London,
zvliere he worked for a season at his business.
but finally went to sea in a privateer. The
duration or frtiits of his enterprise at sea are
unknown, but in 1759 he was settled at Sand
wich as a master stayinaker, and married to
the daughter of an excise-man. This matri-
monial connexion probably turned his atten-
tion to a situation in the excise, which be ac-
cordingly obtained in 1761. In 1765 he was
dismissed from his oflice, but restored again
the following year ; and in 1768, conducted it
grocery store and tobacco mill, at Lewes, in
Sussex, where, in 1771, he married a second
time, his former wife having died in 1760..-
His effects were sold in 1774, for the payiricnt
ofhis debts, and he was dismissed from his
employment in the excise, upon suspicion of
rnalpractices. The succeeding month he sep-
arated from his wife, and thus bereaved of
property and friends, found his way to Lon-
don, where he procured a livelihood as a gar-
ret writer, in which capacity he was introduc-
ed to Dr. Franklin about the middle of1774.
By the advice ofDr. Franklin, he embarked
for America in September, 1774, and made
his appearance in Philadelphia a little previ-
ous to the affair at Lexington, April I9, 1775
His first literary engagement was with Mr.
Aitkiii, a respectable bookseller ofPliiladel-
phia, who, in January, 1775, began the ptibli-
cation of the Pennsylvania Magazine, of
_ which Paine was to be the editor. He sup
ported the work creditably for several months.
An essay written by him, on the subject of
African Slavery in America, and published
in a Philadelphia newspaper, attracted the
notice ofilie celebrated Dr. Rush, who then
sought his acquaintance. When the subject
of American Independence began l0 be agita-
ted in conversation, Dr. Rush, conceived it
necessary that some work more iinergetic than
the common newspaper productions should be
resented to the public in order to dissipate
the prejudices existing against that measure.
Under this impression he suggested to Paine
the propriety ofexecuting a work calculated
to prepare the people for an eternal separa-
tion froiii the British crown. Paine adopted
the idea, and soon completed his famous pain-
phlet called “ COMMON Si-zusa,” under the
immediate in;-pection ofseveral eminent-rev
olutioiiary patriots. “ Common Sense” was
published in January, 1776,and doubtless had
a considerable effect in accelerating the De-
claration of lndependeiice, or rendering it
popular. . _
After the commencement of military oper-
ations, Mr. Paine accompanied the army as a
sort of itinerant writer; he partook, being
himself wi-thou! property; of the common fare
ofthe ariiiy. When any military disaster
threw a gloom over the prospects of the couri-
try, Paine revived the spirits of the people by
if“ CB.-Isis.” This was a paper published in
ntimbers as occurrences furnished the matter,
re—aniniating the people and publi_c function-
aries alter niisfortuiies, congratulating tliein
upon successes, or attackirigwith ridicule the
royalist proceedings. It ex-tended to severi-
teen numbers. and was continued at proper
intervals until the conclusion of the war.-—
Each nuriiber waswritten-in a style adapted
to the object, and was productive of a-., benefi-
cial effect upoir both military and civil opera-
tions. Paine left the arniy in 1777, con-
gress having elected him, on the 17th April,
$ec’ry to the Coriimittee on Foreign Affairs.
Though in his writings be condemned Titles,‘
he had not the consistency to *adh_er‘e__t'o_"iiis'
doctrine in practise, for, upon the pttbllcallpn
off._liis “ Rights or Man,”,it'i Engiagnd. he dig-
nified himself-with tlre‘ imposing one of 3“ ‘Sec-
retary of Foreign Affairs to‘ the Congress of
the United States.” His employment "'51?

the 8th ofJaniiary, 1779, he was obliged ‘to
retire, on account of a violation of his ofiicial
obligations, in betraglng in a public contro-
versy with Silas eane, important sebrets
concerning certain negotiations with the court
[of France. The following extract on the sub-
ject is from the Journals of Congress.
'1'hursday, January 7, 1779.
“ Resolved, That the publications above
recited [those ’ofPaiiie] tend to impose upon,
mislead, and deceive the public.
“ That the attempt of the said Thomas
Paine to authenticate the saidfalse insinua-
tioiis, by referring to papers in the office of
the committee ofForeign Affairs, is an abuse
ofofiice.
“ That the said Thomas Paine be, and he
hereby is, disnrissed from his said office.”
Upon beiiigtlius deprived ofa subsistence,
Paine entered the office ofa notary in Phila-
delpliia, asa clerk; and early in the year
1780 was appointed clerk to the assembly of
Pennsylvania. When Congress dispatched
Colonel Laurens to France .in order to pro-
cure a loan from the French government he
accompanied that gentleman on his mission,
merely as a volunteer. I-Ie afterwards claim-
ed reinuneratioii from Congress for services
perforiried on this occasion, aird arrogated to
hiuiselftlie whole success of the mission ; but
his demand was rejected, as that body had not
been privy to his pretended employirieiit in
any riianirer, and it was ascertained that he
had, in fact, done nothing. The commission-
ers left him at the port at which they arrived,
and did not. see him afterwards. On the pas-
sage, he was challenged by a French geritle-
man, with whom he had frequent disputes,
and was prevailed upon to accept the chal-
lenge by fellow-passengers, who, acting as
seconds,s‘ecretly extracted the bullets from the
pistols used, and thus prevented miscliief.——
The combatants both maiiitaiued a firm port.
He returned to this country in August, 1781,
where he appears to have been principally en-
gaged iii composing his “ Crisis,” with some
unimportant political tracts.-,-In 1780, he had
written a paniplilet entitled “ Public Good,”
an uninteresting production on the local af-
fairs of Virginia; he also puplisli.-d in Aug.
1782, a letter to the Abbe Rayoal, embracing
fifty-eight octavo pages, chiefly a repetition
ofthe contents of “ Coiiiriion Seiisc.”
Air effort was made by Gen.'Washingtor_i,
in 1783, to procure some permanent provision
for Paine, from Congress. At his suggestion,
a member oftliat assembly proposed to it to
appoint Paine, Historiographer to the United
States, with a conrpeteut support ; lint the inn-
tion was indignantly received by the House,.
and prudently withdrawn. Congress, liow-
ever, in 1785, granted him three thousand
dollars in consideration of his services in for-
warding the national independence by his
writings; thelegislatiire ol'Pennsylvania also
presented him with five hundred potinds cur-
rency; while that of -New-York gave him a
valuable confiscated estate, of three hundred
cultivated acres, with mansion house, &I.c.sir
uated at New -1-Ioclielle, _ in the county of
Westchester. In I786, Paine published in
Philadelphia,“ Dissertations on Governuient.
the affairs ofthe Batik, and paper money.”-—
Hc here alluded to and defended the batik 0:"
North America, which was violently attacked
in petitions to the Peniisylvariia legislature,
as an institution destructive ofindividual and
public prosperity. -He is believed to have
been instrumental in saving the batik.
Paine entertained for a considerable period
anterior to the acknowledgment ofAiirr-.rican
Independence, the design of revolutionizing
England.. The donations from the legislative
bodies before mentioned, enabledhiin to pro-
ceed to Europe, and he left the United States
for France in April 1787. When he arrived
at Paris be exhibited to the Academy of Sci-
ences the rnodel of an irirproved bridge which
he had invented: this invention was after-
wards shown in England, and gained him
soirie reputation with the European matlieina-
ticians. In September 1787 he went to Lon
don, and afterwards to visit his mother at
Tlietford, where he stipported her until his
stock of money was exhausted. Early in the
succeeding year he published a revolutionary
pamphlet, in London, entitled “ Prospects on
the Rubicon.” It possessed but very lit th-
inerit, and passed unnoticed. In the iiriddle
of 1789, he was arrested and imprisoned for
debt, but after three weeks confineinerit was
released by two American iiierchaiits. Upon
his delivery from prison he crossed over: to
France,wliere the elements ofthe storm which
afterwards” burst with sircli desolating conse-
quences upon that country were rapidly col
lecting. The revolutionary correiit threaten-
ed to overwhelm England, and alarmed the
minds of many cfher most gifted children.-
From histranqiiil retreat at Beaconfield, Ed-
mund Burke issued his “ Reflections,” early
in the year 1790. In order to hasten the work
ofreform, Paine re-visited England, and in
March 1791 published the “ Rights ofMan,
first part,” in declared reply to Burke’s Re-
flections. This pamphlet had an unprece-
dented sale and remarkable effect. The au-
thor returned in the following May to P;iflS.
Delighted and animated with the progress of
the revolutionarymeasures there, he embark-
ed again for England, in order to prosecute
his designs,and arrived in London on the ISM:
ofJuly, 1799.. In February, 1799, he pub-
lished the second part of his Rights q/‘Mair,
unequivocally exliorting the British people to
revolt, and advocating the subversion ofthe
government. ‘ .
On the 21st of May, 179%, the attorney-
general cominenced a prosecution against
Paine as the author ofthe Rights of Man.-
In the succeeding August, the latter published
his “Address to the Addressors,”-—a lam-‘
poon upon certain orators in the British Par-
liament. He had ‘now become so odious to
the government-party in his native country,
that lie was every where carried about in effi-
gy, with apair of slugs under-his arms. His
trial was to take place in December, but in
the preceding September he was formally no-
tified that the department of Calais, in France,-
lrad elected him a member of the National
Convention. Availiiig himself with joy of
this opportunity to escape the punishment
which lie was sensible would overtake him if
he contriiiied in England, and exulting in the
peramentoir the ,‘r:‘oirtirieii|t,,_;iife' imfmediately

ais. "Not ‘many ‘minutes after his departure
from Dover, agovernment order was-received
forhis dete'ntion., ,On the '13”! .'0f D€°¢.".‘be"-g
1792, he was tried before Lord Kenyon and a
special-jury, found guilty, and outlawed‘, _ I
Meainivhile the revolution in France was In
rapid progress : the Convention haviiig deter-
mined upon the trial of Louis XVI. Paine
had given his suffrage in favour of that meas-
ure, and sat injudgiiient upon the unfortuntf-lie
tnonarch. He was opposed, however, to the
death of Louis, and desired that he should be
imprisoned during the war, after the conclu-
sion of which he might be transported. In
December, 1793, Paine was himself thrown
into prison by the Robespeirian committee of
safety, under a decree for iinprisoning all na-
tive born Englishmen in Fra rice. "Fa liile on
his way thither, he called on Mr. Barlow the
American minister, to whom he confided the
manuscript of the “Age ofReason,” which
he had just completed. He remained eleven
months in durance, and only escaped the
guillotine by reason ofa fever with which he
was seized. Ari inordinate passion for spirit-
uous liquors led liiin,pi'eviously to his confine-
ment, to associate with the most degraded
classes in the French riietropolis, and while
lielda prisoner lie indulged in the use of strong
drink, to the most disgusting excess. After
his release he was received into the house of
Mr. Monroe, then American Minister, where
he remained eighteen months, and contrived
still to waste his bodily and mental faculties
by inteiiiperairce. On the 7th of July, 1795,
the Convention granted him permission to
speak against a new constitution which had
been reported the preceding month by Boisy
d’Aiiglas. He delivered a speech, but it was
disregarded by the Convention, and the cori-
stitution in dispute was adopted, in October,
1795. By its operation the old Convention
was abolished. Tliirs terminated the public
functions of Thomas Paine in France. With
his last speech he presented to the convention
his “ Dissertation on the first principles of
government.”-
In April, 1796, he published an octave
pamphlet of twenty-two pages, on the Eirg-
lisli system of finance ; and in the followiiig
July his letter to Ceneral VVashington, cori-
sisting ofsixty-four pages. This pamphlet is
written in a strain of malignant iiivective a-
gainst the character of that great and good
man. In proportion as his virtues bad form
erly been extolled by Paine, his alleged vices
were now presented with every aggravation
that the spirit of slander and uialevolence
could suggest. The cause of this important
attack upon a spotless reputation, was resem-
irient that the President did not exert his ofii
cial influence to obtain the release of the air-
thor from the French dungeons. The follow-
ing short quotation is asufficieiit sample of
the style and spirit ofthe letter :—“ As to you,
Sir, treacherous in private friendship, and a
/l.‘l/POCTZIIC in public life, the world will be puz-
zled to decide, whether ydii are an apostateor
an impostcr, whether you have abandoned
good principles or whetlier you ever had any.”l
He now turned his attention fmrn the abtisc
nt'virtne, to the defamation of Cliristiaiiity.
and in October, 1796, published the second
part of his Age of Reason.
The succeeding year produced fr. his pen a
“ Letter to the Honourable Lord Erskine,”
relative to the prosecution of the publisher of
his Age ofReason; and also a tractentitled
‘* Agragriaii Justice,” proposing that the land-
holders of every nation should be obliged to
corrtrihute a tenth part of their estates I'L)l'_,llle
establishment of a food, out of which eyery
_l|8l‘S0ll'\Vl‘len be attained the age of twenty-
oiie should receive fifteen pounds sterling and
ten pounds when arrived at fifty. In addition
to these two pamphlets he published ‘Ill 1797, '
a “ Letter to the People of France, and the
French aririics,on the event ofthe 18th Fruc-
tidor,” (Sept. 4, 1797.)‘ The last was written
in jrrstification ofsozne seveiefiroceeding of
the French revolutionists, a particular rela-
tion of which would be alike unprofitable and
superfluous here. With this work ended his
labors in France. He had now become wear-
ied with that coirutry, but was debarred a res
rdence in England by his sentence of'outlaw-
ry. Poverty stared him in the face, and tho’
he was sensible that he had become generally
odious in the United States,tlre support prom-
ised by his farm‘ at New Rochelle attracted
him hither. For the purpose of embarking
fortliis country he went to H-a"vre, but dread-
ing to fall into the hands of the British who 4
were cruising off the port, he returned to Pa-
ris. Several opportunities happened for his
voyage to America in government ships, but
he chose to continue in Paris till the year
1802, gratifying his debased habits and pre-
delictions to the fullest extent and avoided by
nearly all respectable men in that metropolis.
On the _3_0th of October, 180°), he arrived at
Baltimore, under the protection of President
Jefi'erson,whoni he soon after visited atIVasli-
mgtou.; At that place he presented liruisell
a_little old iiiari,daily intoxicated, (at. extreme-
ly negligent in person. While at the capital
be commenced his publication of six letters
addressed “to the citizens ofthe U. States.”
He also published a letter in reply to one
written to him by the venerable Samuel Ad-
ams, lamenting his infidelity to the Christian
religion.
From Washington, Paine proceeded to N.
York, and during his sojourn there was visit-
ed by many labouring emigrants, admirers of
his Rights of-Mari. With these he drank li-
quor whenever invited ; was scarcely noticed
by decent men; or when two or three such
happened to visit liinr,they speedily departed.
disgusted with his offensive condition. Resid-
ing alternately on his farm and in the city of
New York, he pursued this course of intern-
perance during the reiiiiander ofliis lite, and
to such a degree that every door was sliut_ a-
gaiust him, and on one occasion he was abso
lutely destitute ofslielter. In l806,he dispo-
sed of his farm at fifty dollars an acre, and
then lived at various and very horrible places
in the city. He some time afterwards pub
lished a theological pamphlet, called an “Ex
arnination of the Passages in the New Testa-
ment,” &Lc.
His situation finally became such, that it
required the wholetiine ofa person to keep
him clean and supply his personal wants ;
the former being no easy" task, as he abliorred
the use ofsoap and water. The nature of the
task may be inferred from the amount of sti-
pend paid to his attendant--tiveiity dollars a
week. He languished in this loathsome and
wretched state, comfortless and almost friend-
favour shown li-im by men of congenial tern-
‘less, until the 8th of June, 1-809, when he died

Messrs. Prirrters.—I have taken the Journ-
al a number of years, and being one of those
who wish to preserve the record ofthe times,
I request you to consider rue in future a sub-
scriber for two copies. Although I cannot
very well afford this expense, yetl willingli’
incur it rather than deprive my neighbors of
the knowledge of the news ofthe dayr Per-
haps it may amuse you to have a slight histo-
ry of my paper afterit is left at my door. It is
surely a very pleasant thing to see with what
avidity a newspaper is sought after,arid how
much information is imparted to a whole
neighborhood by a single sheet. ‘
One of my good neighbors, who is highly
respected for his standing in society and who
deserves the liberal income he receives, and
to whom I am greatly indebted for a verbal
account of passing events, I feel proud in af-
fording weekly at so cheap at rate,an intellect-
ual repast which is more indispensable to him
than his breakfast; and what would his intel-
ligent and amiable family do without some
Newspaper ? what sort of an appearance
would his children make in the world, ifthey
grew up without ever seeing one? Rather
than they should live in stich Goth like ignor-
ance, I would willingly subscribe even for a
third copy.
After this fauiily have completed the peru-
sal (which they kindly give immediate atten-
tion to before breakfast on Satiirday,) there
were formerly about half a dozen others in
waiting: this occasioned some confusion on
my part, and inairy hard thoughts from those
who were compelled to wait. To remedy this
evil, I proposed that they should leave a list
of their names, (some of which! should per-
haps not otherwise have known,) that they
might have the use ofit in regular rotation.-
This plan succeeded so well, that till recently
I have not heard any coinplaiuts ; each one
from long usage, knows his turn so well, and
the time occupied by him who has the previ '
otis perusal, that the sheet is not a minute
neglected till it has gone the round. But the
neighborhood is now large, and of course the
list long :—of late, when the paper arrives to
liitn who is so unfortunate as to find his name
at the foot ofthe list, I soruetinies feel asha-
med to hear his coinplainls,—that the paper
is illegible,-—tliat I have allowed so many
names upon the list that it was an old affair
before it gets round; and that as one of the
original list he protested against having more
than twelve names upon : my only refuge to
keep them in humour is, to remind him it is
his first turn next time!
Now, Sits, in order that] may the better
accommodate my kind neighbours, and give
my wife and children some chance to see the
news ofthe weelt,aiid be able to place a news-
paper on file that is not quite illegible, I re-
quest you to send" me hereafter two‘ copies of
the Journal.
With much regard, I am in Plrilantbropy,
One who loves to‘ be neigliboiti-lg].

Cheapness of Newspapcrs.—We observed
a day or two since, on the table ofa friend,
Mr. Webs'er’s Buriker-liill oration, two of
Mr. Everett’s,recently delivered, and Mr. Sol.
livan’s address to the bar of Suffolk—four
pamphlets, the selling price of which is 37 I-91
cents each. On the same table we saw the
National Journal, containing Com. Stewart’s
defence. Curiosity led us to make a calcit-
lation ofthe quantity of matter in these sev-
eral publications,’ when we ascertained that
the defence cgaialled all the others together.
The price ofthe Journal is five dollars per
annnm, issued thrice a week; each paper,
therefore, costs about 3 1-4 cents, while the
price of the pamphlets collectively is $l:50,
showing a difference in this case, in favour of
newspapers of forty-six to oiie.—Winch. Rep.

then it is money, and that, my friend, is the

notes, but Ilike those ofthe Batik of England
