Mr. Fen no, In all discussions where the paflions are those who anxieufiy seek a par ticular and favorite object, are too ready to atfcrib'e to their opponents motives lcfif virtuous than those by which they are themfekes itiftilcnced. And yet, little >efle<fti'6n is requifitC to convince us of the folly of fu'ch condufft- Each party berng fixed irf a certain opinion, it is as much the right of one fide to retort the suspicion, as it is that of the other toffu r gelt it. Sutfh mutual recrittiinations nei- jjhjr convince nor throw light on the fub jeft in cunt eft. It leaved the question where We found it. If Peter thmks we are hound to support France in the present war, and Robert thinks otherwise, does it follow that Peter is bribed by the French Mint fter, and Robert by the Britilh ? And will such a charge, made by the one and' retorted by ttoe other* fettle the question ? Peter fhoi ild make good his opinion by reasonings, which if they do not convert Robert, would at least convince the pub lic, that he was right, and Robert wrong : Robert h»s ths fame right to support his opinion and to adduce the arguments which he desms calculated to produce that efTeft. If they do not produce the effect on each other, they at any rate ena ble the publi*. to form a proper opinion. If one citizen of a free country believes that his nation has been insulted by a fo reign nation ; that if is neceflary to wage war against that nation to vindicate the honor of his country, and that there is a ccrtainty of fucceft: Is it not permitted to another citizen, without being fubjeft to the charge of furtugn influence, to (hew that the insult has not been received, that if it had been received, negociatioir ftfould fifft be attempted ; that even if ne gociation has failed, it may be more ex i pedient for the present to endure it, than to hazard the calamities of war. If any citizen entertains these sentiments, is he not bound in duty, as well as juftified, in declaring them ? If he considers war as the greatest of misfortunes to his country, atod that with a littfe prudence and mode ration, it may be avoided—would he act the part of a good citizen, were to fuf. fer the fear of unpopularity to swerve him from his duty ? If those who are eager for war, should overrate the Itrength of this countiy, and underate that of the enemy, is it criminal to (hew, that tho' stronger in some refpe6ts, we are weaker in others, that » eonteft even if fuccefsful mull be injurious, and that the object de sired is moie likely to be attained by peace than war ? When Britain, in the days of her pride, attempted to subjugate the co lonies, thole patriots who flood forth and exclaimed against the folly of the attempt, who urged the strength of America for feltdefence, and the irapotency of the British arms and navy against us, Burke,, Barre, Shelburne, Fox and Chatham, were stigmatised by the war party, as ene mies to the British glory ; we however considered them as Britain's truest friends ; and yet they extolled the resources of this country, and depreciated those of their own, Had their counsel been purfued,Britain 'tis-probable would not haveloftwhat was called the brightest jewel in the British crown. But the advocates for war, by inflaming the paflions, pride, and preju dices of the people,, bore down all the oppolition which was made by the virtu ous patriots of those days, and plunged their country into calamities, which bro't upon the ministry the execration of that nation. Thus, tho' we are strong for felkde firnce, yet if we should eitibaik in the pre- Cent war, expose our commerce to the fleets and cruisers which cover the ocean —and ourfea-ports to be laid in-afhes our revenues to be annihilated—and our credit destroyed, or supported with diffi culty by recourse to a land tax. The ca [Whole No. si<Jj] lamitJes which vCill inevitably follow, excite the just indignation of the people igainlt the ihrthort of them, While tfiofe who, even at the expence isf ear pride and national vanity,- tinavailingly endea voured itt stem the torrenty will be. re garded as the genuine patriots anil true friends of fheir country. "1 hefe ftntiments have bien drawil from meby aperufal of the repeated abuft in one of your city papers against those who are advocates for peace and whom I call my country's btft friends. I have fuffered e nough fav or* war ; I am flow jots getting my farm in ort{er,. and I am not disposed to fee, m my old agey my family beggared. A FARMER. BOSTON, February 8. At a meeting of the Maffacbufetti Confti- tutional Soriety, hclcf at Boffon, on Thurfdaythe 6th Feb.- 1794. The fteiofutionS of (he Democratic So ciety of Philadelphia, under the date of the 9th of January, 1794, were read,)and' deliberately considered, whereupon-^ Resolved uhanimoufly, That thiis So ciety highly the fentimeat* ani principles therein contained.

ALBASF?, Feb. rov Saturday last #as i very noble day of t ra _de in this city; on a moderate ellimatc, it is presumed, the purchafea and faff# of produce and merchandize exceeded 53,000 dollars. Of the article of Wheat,befweeiv 25 and 30*000 buihels were brouglVf to tin's market—a quantity far exceeding the receipts of any one day since the fettie ment of this country. The price of wheat rose durwig the <ky, from 7s. ?d. 7 s - to Bsi or the highefl: price betw«ferr this and iff March. This last mode of purchase i* truly novel, and must be con vincing to the former that the merchants of this city are too independent to form combinations. The proffwtt of abundance of MAPLE SUGAR being made the present season, is faidto be very flattering. In the wes tern countits, this article is already be coming oiK of their principal remittances. In several of which it is brought to very great perfection, particularly in Otfego, where it receives that degree of patronage which is due to so important a' branch of our manufactures. We are aflilred, that upwards of foo hear! of cattle have been disposed of fhc last season, by the citizens of Otfegt* county, and driven to different markets ; besides the beef put up for their own eon fuiApMßs.
