Congress in 0 v the declaration of independence spoke the language "J" 1 ' of Americans—the language of manly go#d lenfe . ' and real national dignity. They declare that as to tl ™ ] Britain they will, "be enemies in war, in pcaee P sltl friends." , The war whoop Jacobins exclaim, we arc ene- u miesto Britain. A friend of Britain is a foe to e * our liberty and independence. Is this the spirit of ur 'j6 ? U U dire&ly contrary. It is the firft ar ticle of Jacobin duty to be the enemies of Britain in peace. Yet aflc them, whether they would go to war with that nation, they fay and swear no, no, othl no. It is tiuly said ofthofe who will /wear that t ere they will *** te i The spirit of *76 was pitriotic. No country ftrn was then loved or refpe&ed so much as our own— The Jacobins lately toasted the French constitution and gave nine cheers. To our own they gave on-, ly three. Citizen Jacobins, is this like' 76 ? The spirit of' 76 was magnanimous and heroic. t hii We appealed to heaven, and defied the hods of in \ Britain and her hireling Germans. No one then 01 desponded or shrunk from the crisis. What is the l 'f languageof the-Jacobins at this day ? It was France and France alone that won liberty and independence thj for America. _ Ms Our liberty cannot be maintained, if the French ths are defeated. We mud become slaves uolefs the Ai French hfcld their conquests of Flanders, Holland D; and Savoy. Their cause is our cause. ( Is this the spirit of '76. No, it is the language * v { of cowards and traitors. It is the language of fu- th oitiyf» from a land of slavery and who bring the t0 Spirit OT tiavcs wnii un.w, maintain with the native Americans that are th. now infinitely more able" in refpeft to power and re sources and not any worse disposed than we were in tn '76 to maintain our liberty and independence. The fpitit of '76 was really independent. Con gress with indignant firmnefs rejected every attempt of Britain to treat \|ith us as Colo™"- But our Jacobins, with the spirit of Coloniils, orrather with the dastardly spirit of slaves, reproach our Govern. ment with having made a treaty without consulting France, deny the right or propriety of any treaty Wl with her foe, and rejoice to read the miserable in- et fultsand threats that are copied from the Paris tv news-papers, or fabricated in this country. P' Tske a review of the conduct of our disturbers 'Y and it will appear that there is no resemblance bet- te ween their principles and those of '76 which they ra affect to hold in veneration. There is a muchnear erlikcnefs bctwven the Jacobins and the Tories of c< - '76. The tories said at that day, America cannot > e govern herfelf—(he must be dependent on Britain P ; to protest her. _ P ( The Jacobins parody this sentiment and exclaim g forever, draw close and closer the bands of brother- V lv union with France. Our liberties depend fulely on this union. If France throws us off, we are loft and undone. Our,political salvation is staked upon H the alliance. Men of' 76, if you are not in your v graves, are you not angry to hear Jacobins take 11 yotir names and disgrace them ? 11 Kxtrads from the AURORA. a Certain violent enemies to 'the trade of kings think that the French have made an indifferent f bargain with his Sardinian majesty ; and that he _ Ihould have been at once turned out of a throne of 1 which his tyrannical government, and the proverb- a ial perfidy of his ancestors have rendered the whole ! family so remarkably undeserving. The terms of < the Treaty, if examined with attention, willjullify c the French. They are to poflefs his fortrefles till 1 the end of the wai, and after that time, till a trea- < ty of commerce is concluded between the parties. < We may readily guess what kind of treaty is, under < such circumllances, lik«ly to be made. The terri ] tories which the French now hold are liable to con tributions, till restored ; and the mal contents in ' the royal dominions are to be indemnified. Add to 1 this, that about two fifths of his continental terri tories are taken from him, and the reft more than - half fiiriounded by the French conquests.
