  • Pennsylvania Magazine
    THE Pennsylvania ft Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY ft The Aurora and the Alien and Sedition Laws Part II: The Editorship of William Duane OLLOWING Bache's death during the yellow fever epidemic in September, 1798, the Philadelphia Aurora reappeared in FNovember under the editorship of William Duane. The new editor proved to be as able a critic, commentator, and controversialist as Bache had been, enabling the Aurora to hold its position as the leading Republican organ in the United States. Indeed, Duane's energetic attacks on the Adams administration soon involved him in a sedition prosecution like the one pending against Bache when he died. Born in colonial New York of Irish parents, Duane resided in New York and Philadelphia for fourteen years before he returned with his mother to her native Ireland in 1774. For the next twenty-two years he lived in the British Empire, gaining so much renown as the liberal editor of the Calcutta Indian World that he was seized by the gov- ernor, deported without trial, and divested of his property without legal process because of his criticism of governmental officials of the East India Company. After a sojourn as Parliamentary reporter for 123 124 JAMES MORTON SMITH April the London Cjeneral ^Advertiser, Duane returned to Philadelphia, joining the ^Aurora as Bache's assistant in 1796.1 Only three months after the new editor assumed control in 1798, the Federalists brought their first charge against him. It was Duane's animosity toward the Alien Friends Act which set the stage for this legal conflict.

The plain text of the Foreign Emoluments Clause is clear and unambiguous, as is the original meaning of the words used. ................. 6 B.
