his pstnotiCm, his ardent love for liberty, equality, 1
ae. &c. From the age of sixteen," fays he, " the !
itat period ax which 1 began to think, my heart was '

itat for the political equality of citizens in the social
a- order. My head was filled with the principles ol 1
Rondeau, Mably, RayiiaJ, &c. in ttuth I had an
sii innate aptitude for philolophical principles; 1 bum

ats 16, he certainly could not tinderftand, have ever !
said any thing in their abitrad theories, that ref-m

tionof 1:93. The systems which they have ad
vanced ar< io far from having tljat popular tenden

that the idea of knowing that his country was so*

From the Mar.yi.and Hesald.
Mr. Cowan,
IN reading over a late paper, I met with-tht
following address to the people of the United
States. Ac the fcßtimenU and warning it contains
are applicable to the citizens of our diftrift, as well
as to those of other dillrifts in the Union, I re
queil you, Sir, to publilh it in your Heiald, for
the attentive confrderation of our fellow-citicens.
1 am, Sir,
your humble servant,
A SUBSCRIBED,
July 21, 1796.
TO THE PEOPLE OK THE tWi-t-SD STATES.
THERE are prevailing iiWiis country two pars
ties of very opposite sentiments. But without
tracing them through all the drftin£tions by which
they have refpeftively been known, it is fufficient
to observe, and it is greatly important for every
citizen to b» informed, that one paity is exerting
all its endearots to involve the United States in
the calamities of wfcr, and that t! e other party is
wifely, a.id I trust fuceefsfuHy, employed in pre
serving our peace and happi.iefs, To men, well
acquainted with the true situation of our public
. affairs, this information is unnecessary ; but too
" many of the people are inattentive to political ob«
j jeils, an 3 appear unconfciaus of their danger. Be
e ing thjemfclves in the pofiifiion of all the iik-lfings
which a good government wifely ad|R°niltered has v -
bellowed, they t!o not imagine that tutbulent and
' seditious men furroond them, and labour to destroy
j- their repose. And yet the better to deceive them
into this fataj.fecurity, rtiefc turbulent and ambi
tious men burrow the language of patriotism, and
hypocritically aflume the rhara&er of'patriot*. But
these blcflings, dear and interesting as.they are, are
t heldat present by nothing but a thrsad : For tvliile
the war rages in Europe, be affitretl the situation
of this country will remain imminently critical,
j- The continuance of that terrible war, famous for
