phillry and wire-drawn (tuff, called argu- (
ir.ent. At present they have no other re- ..
f.urcc left than ftieer,. positive lying, as I
above. '
MACHIAVEL wasanenthufiaftforliber- '
ty, -n;d an ardentdefende'r of theliberty of his (
country. He engaged in fevrral conspira
cies to deliver Florepce, his native city,from
the usurpation of'-the Medicis : and nei
ther tie vtngeatce*oF this potent family
could rc'train, nor their fervours extinguish,
the h ;Kd he entertained against the men
whom he regarded as tyrants of his Coun
try. H's genius was v.fl, vigorous aivl
p letrati'.g ; his undtrflanding just ; his
k vled'Je of the moll* varied kind ; his ftu
<lv > - n and things was profound ; and
aity of his mditical refleilions, few
•a is have equalled. The history of his
1 r.'c cityi for ages, torn in pieces by pas- ,
{ ui and pariy, fnggefted and verified the
following observations of his.
cities which are administered under
the name of a republic, are continually
chmg'ug their gbverOmajt and their con
dition, not from liberty to slavery, as many
b. !>cve, but from slavery to licentiousness.
For it is the name only of liberty, that is
courted by the populace, the agents of licen
ti'.'ufiicfs, or by nobles, the agents of slave
ry ; each of them having it equally in view,
to free from all fuhje&ion, either
to laws or to men. And it is a truth, that
■when it Intppensv (which rarely happens)
that by the gond fortune or a city, there
rifcs in it, a wife, a good, and a potent citi
zeu, to establish laws, by which these paf
60'ns »>f the nobles, and the people, may be
ftiifed, or, so rellraiijed, that they can work
no evil, then only may this city be called
free, and its government be deemed firm and
liable. 1
For being founded on good laws and wife
regulations, it needs not, like other dates, I
the virtue of any one man to maintain it.—
Such laws and regulations several of the an
cient republics (those of them which had a
ny long duration) had the good fortune to
enjoy. And those dates whicji wanted or
wa it Inch laws and regulations, wire and
are continually changing their governments,
from tyranny to anarchy, and from this to
something else : because, in them, by the
powerful enemies which each of these forms
of government hath, there neither is nor can
be any (lability ; for the one does not please
good men, and the other wile men;
the one can easily do mifchief, and the other
can hardly do good ; in the one, insolent
men have too much authority, and in the
other fools ; and neither the one nor the o
ther can be maintained but by the virtue and
fortune of some one man, who may soon be
removed by death, or rendered useless by
his labours.
To apply the observations to ourselves.
We have a conditution, which effe&ually
secures us from tyranny, by redraining eve
ry branch of the ajlminidration within due
bounds. Our gacat danger if* from a dis
regard of the laws, from licentipufcefs, from
amrehy. Let us condautly beware of
.Shjofe men, who inflame our pallions, by
speaking ill cf the adminidraton of that gov
ennment, in which our liberty and bappiuefs
consist* Under the' pretence of regard for
<»( liberties, they court us firft to Bate ;
then, to defplfe, and then to refill/the Jaws,
violate the government, degenerate into li
centiousness, plunge into anarchy, and bury
ourselves in ruin.

But to increase our artittWy to almost two ca
' thousand men, to add a little to our dange- an
. roufly large navy is an engine to encreafe the an
power of the executive or to bring about w(
this despotic government so mueh dreaded
by Mr. Clay.'' Why was this doCtriue not I
made use of a little while ago when the Brit ce
i(h were seizing our veflels, imprefllng our p,
a seamen and threatening us with a war ? If u
Howcomes it about that it (hould be right 1 m
to defend ourselves against the Briti(h and I m
:! under similar circumstances paflively bend Is a
our. necks to the yoke of the French ? When b,
( the Briti(h were committing depredations on I w
us, the diforganizcrs were all ready for Ip,
', war, anxious to arm and to join the French If r
in hostilities, amicable negociation was out e(
of the question, the haughty Britons must be J b
i! made to stoop. The friends to government jf,
were then friends to an amicable negociatian I „
rc and have succeeded, and the more we expe- It<
i rience the of the British treaty so 1 1]
much reprobated a little while ago, the less I
is, exceptionable does it appear. I appeal then I g
to my fellow citizens whether this friendly I ||
negotiation which has made the planter and I c
the farmer rich and independent, which I g
has evidently given the high price I _
for our prodoce and particularly to- 1 t
bacco, waving the circumstance of our peace I a
and happiness at home was not more advif?- I a
able than to be plnnged into a dedruCtive I j
war with that nation out of which we are r
n • getting our wealth. The misfortune is, I r
the French have toq. many blind followers in I i
me thiscountry devoted entirely to their interest, I {
enemies to their own country and rea<3y for 1 1
rr. any rnterprife which that nation might mark I;
out for them ; thus it is that there (hould I)
be such a party anxious to go to war against j |
~ Great Britain willing for the French to raise 1 1
armies in the heart of our country, and to 1 1
eftablilh French tribunals to try causes in j
our towns. Thus it is that while the French | j
are feiaing our veflels, plundering our prop- I,
erty, throwing our seamen Into dungeons, 1
and impelling the Spaniards to aCts of hostil
ities against, and violating express treaties, I ;
their friends are juftifying their conduit (or I
keeping a secret for the people) thus it is I
those then are opposed to taking any mea- j
, sure of defence, even while the French had
! ete armed frigates in our bay, threatening our I
t i ve commerce, nay, actually seizing our veflels,, I
and insulting our authorities, and thus it is I
that their friendsamong us,or rather enemies I
'• to our government, were opposed to repair I
at " the few fortifications we have, and choose I
j that they (hould rot rather than be made ca- I
pable of affording defence.. The policy of I
our government at present is that which eve- I
:he ry prudent man would pursue in his individ- I
of ual capacity were he injured by his neigh- 1
an ' a bour or former friend. To prepare for I
loclc the worst but endeavour t» fettle the dif- I
j pute amicably by agreement, negociation, I
i; n g and arbitration, and not delay taking .mea- j
fures of defence until surrounded by hods of I
Jeut enemies. This appears to me to be agree- I
'■ able to common sense and common pru- I
dence ; yet strange a 6 it may seem, there are
1 ' characters among us, utterly opposed to de
-5 fence when to keep their friends the French
from invading our country. But we are de
ceived, and to ftifle our indignation againlt

For detailing to you such inflammatory in

prove to you that ourprefident has most se
riously cherished every effectual Hep towards
a reconciliation with Trance —and (hall tur

in" such a view that you will be at no loss
to fay who are the real war-ha-wh ; who
Willi to fifli in troubled waters, and who ivifh
to J peculate in f/jldiers certificates. Our pre
sident, John Adams, from the commence
ment of the late revolution to this moment,
has conduced himfelf, in all the stations in
.which he lias been placed, in such* manner
36 has justly entitled him to the greuteft
confidence of his fellow citizens. I l>at
well-timed honed republican charadter
which he had acquired in the commence
ment of the American revolution, and
which puffed on with him through our
dreadful conflict, has never been assailed but
by envy, misrepresentation, a:<d the enven
omed tongue of detraction ; ahd strange it
may seem", his hods of enemies are compel
led to applaud his unbounded candor and
integrity, and to admit his pre-eminent ta
lents and judgment.—lf I were to
ask you whatqualifications a president (hould
have, would you require more of him than
Mr. Adams possesses ? Would you expeCt
greater honesty, njore candor, or greater
talents ?
I will not only call the president's gene
ral character in view, but (hall apply his
particular condijCt to prove, that his great
care has been to preserve our independence,
and to cultivate peace.with all the wofld,
and particularly with the French. When
we firft htard that our veflels, without num
ber, were captured by the French.; that
bur property could not escape capture and
j certain condemnation ; that the ministers oi
France in this country were repeatedly in-
I fulting our government, enflaming the
I minds of our citizens against our own ad
