FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 26.
c- <s&
IF Republics have been scourged in a
peculiar degree, by-the turbulence of faftion,
and the. field it naturally opens to unprinci
pled ambition, they have also, in all other
times but ou" own, been diftinguiftied by ma
ny splendid attributes, seldom found.to exist
to so high a degree,. undqr other form.
Amongli these, no one has unveiled a bright
er feene of glory, or tended more to eftablilh
their eripire and renown, than that high foul
ed, jealousy and pride, which inftiqttively
fcortis at interferences with their proper so
vereignty and" predominance. Doomed, as
republics, from their nature roust be,, to the
unending afflictions of division and discord,
to envy, jealoijfy and .revenge, and every,
other paiftow in its degree, to which their
loolened reltraint gives raifje, some-counter
action seems extremely essential ; and a little
reflexion will evince, .that none can be sub
stituted for this uncompromifuig jealpufy of
the national honor.
To create ne\*fa&ion3, or to array und«r
its-auspices against their government, those
already existing, has been the common pre
lude to hoftilitirs against Republics, on the
part of their enemies in every age. Their
centinels thus stationed, a,nd their, trail* laid,
they draw on the sequel as occasion suits,
while in the interval left by the fupinenefs of
the former, r>6 artifice of dernago- y. no ■ex
ertion of interested' devotees is relaxed, in
th; great work .of increafyig and fortifying
their partifaii3. To flrike* ? and quickly too,
is obvionfly the sole means of warding off
the thousand milchiefs and dangers from this
source, which from their nature, can never
be diftinftly known, arid if Account is made
to meet them diftinftly, mull baffle calcula
tion, and defeat oppofnion.-
In this painful posture do we at-this in
stant (land-; our government arraigned by |
th£ French rulers, at thS tool and dupe of
England, and treacherous'to the people ; and
the people, while they ari flattered as emi
nently virtuous and pure," murdered by V.on
stitutionai Decrees, without diflihdtion and
without remorse. No civilized nation ever
perpetrated the enormities \ve have' endured
from the French ; and no independent people
ever so tamely endured them. '"Meanwhile,
(confounding truth i) their influence here is
e.icreafing and extending, and the refledtion
seems to flrike r,o one,' th'at on ever)' step
which it advances, depend not merely the
coiaqueft and fubjugatioh,'but the ruin of
thousands, the desolation, misery aflAdefpair
of tiioulands, the murder of thousands.
The allotted period of' our falrsition is pro
tradled almost to its Latest verge ; and the
proposed negociation,iff*fTered to be prolong
ed like the last, may yet infiribe on the blood
stained Tablet of Diplomatic Skill, the post
obiit of our Independence. The interval be
tween the present time atld the issue p'f. the
propoied DegociatioiT,' ffiooW, therefore, be
a busy oue : over that Are have no
longer any coiitroul—it js conflitutionally
committed ; but, therefore, have we the
more important part to aft ; and conscious
of the dangers to which it may expolii us,
we Ihould proceed, (regardlcfs of the clamors
of the mercenary miscreants* who surround
us) to point them out, that they may be pro
vided for, and avoided.
The French republic, more than any that
has preceded her, polk lies this contumacious
and inveterate remembrance of an injury
offered to her pride, and adds to it, a more
insatiable thirll for conqtieft, than ever ani
mated Alexander, or her own great Mo
■narque. Since Hie fir ft became di drafted by
the whimlies of her fantaftic philosophy, (lie
has in-no in (la nee, forgotten or forgiven-aji
injury. One BafieviHe, Vlow and insolent
sansculotte, whom she had sent, at an early
stage of the revolution to outrage hisholinefs,
the pope, was," for some of his democratic
gambols, murdered by the populace : though
ample atonement was made, and the breach
acknowledged to be healed, this occurrence
is made a pretence, at the distance of eight
years, for the seizure and plunder of the Ro
man commonwealth; the anarcluzing of its
inhabitants, the deftruftion of its govern
ment. and the exile or murder of its mem
bers. Of Switzerland the unatoneable crime
was t» have failed in making common cause
with her ; for on Switzerland (he had claims
of gratitude, and consequently, was not ia
tisfied that (he (hould merely keep aloof from
the struggle, or even that she flioiild secret
ly and partially aid and assist—Her laches in
the glorious career of revolutionizing the
world, was never forgivejr, 'till Switzerland
swarmed with revolutionary cut-throats, and
* Bach I call that barren tribe of feeble-minded
caitiffs, who have lately attempted to revive the
Papal creed ot Infallibility; to tflablifh the do&rine
that ibe ling can da no wrong, and to proscribe all
difference from them in opinion, by stigmatizing
it as atufe. That the king (or the governing pow
er) can do no wrong, is, most undoubtedly, not
only a very valuable, hut a very eHernial principle
in government; but in our», under its prcfent
cotiftru<flion,can never exist." ' I'would be the cJub
of Her rules in the fift of an infant. If the Presi
dent, instead of b«ing made the drudge of the pub
lic, had had a Minitier and a Constitutional Coun
cil afligncd him, to bear the responsibility of mea
sures, than the application of this principle would
have been delightful. Then (hould we have had
preserved to us a polar star wherebyat all times to
direA our eourfe—on which we might have dw»lt
with unblrncht eye, whatever florins raged round
us. I hus(hallow, as are the politics of these men,
no one ought to deem it a reproachful circum
stance, to receive their indecent and uugentleman
ly invefiives. " Ambubaiarum tollegia, pharma
copoli, mcmlici, mim£, balatron«s"—fHch are the
components of the iagacious tribe of Cenlors cn
the opinions and principles of mcß, who have so
long been chained to the very teeth of jacbbiDifm,
and.who dared to pluck Democracy by the beard,
while they twinkled in its leaden-luftred galaxy. •
I do cot want the of'a'fcoundrel who

ele<sl a Jhjion Editor to the Pmfcfiery over this
" Ceihgim y ''
he J cottages finoked in ruins. Such "is qur
crime ; fiich the atonement fhs is bent on
making us undergo. To work a conyiAion
>f thi.s truth, one would think s alone necef
rary ro rouse us to'a proper fenle of our Cit-
nation ; and yet one would also think that
evidences enough had already been afforded
of its exigence to convince the moO Scepti
cal. It is riot, to be sure, 'to citizen Piclion,
the coi reiporldent of American' traitors, that
we are to look- for these evidences:—it is not
to citizen Talleyrand we are to look for
them—nor to our own Democrats ; it is not
very wife to look to men lor a display of
truth whicli mull blast them. In the per
severing hostility of France against the com
merce of this country, in her unrelenting
spirit of refcntment so repeatedly displayed,
at the repudiation of Genet, and the treaty
with England, in her oppressions, cruelties,
tortures and murders exercised upon our lea
men, may we read a blind and brutal refolu-
Jiion taken to revenge upon us those partial
indications of relentment at her insolence,
which howe.ver just and however honorable,
mnft thus prove fatal, if hot followed
the fame spirit which gave rife to them.
- And yet, " funt qui formidine nulli jm

The all-blasting' Upas of France, once al

The Northampton. InfurredtiolN, com
menced in deceit and wickedness, has at
length ended iu a complete difplav of mad
ness, delation and folly. The mifchiefs of
this alTumption of l'overeignty on the part of
a handful of fools and knaves, have already
had their full operation : and -it now re
mains that we benefit ourselves by those les
sons to be drawn from the occalion, which,
left unimproved to further ends, the Infur
redtion roig'ht as well have been permitted to
rage. Such is the nature of the age in wiiich
our lot is call, that no event that emerges,
however apparently simple in i's afpedl, ought
to be viewed in an Onconnedted light; but
while the mind is kept continually involved
in odc turbid whirlpool, while we are driven
from outrage to outrage, and from insurrec
tion to infurre&ion ; from the hostilities of
Genet, to the treason of the Flour Merchants,
and from Diplomatic Skill, to the moody
Rebellion of the Land of Slaves ; —there is
danger that by dwelling too intensely on
separate points, we negJedt to trace up tfte
origin and connection of t;he various evils by
which we hjive been scourged, to their true

to put down the infurredtion of a few coun

Extract of a' letter ftom Cincinnati toagen-
tleman in authority, dated April 10.
" A Mr. M'Rea arrived here last evening
from the Natches ; he was employed as an
express by Abijah Hunt to bring a large
quantity of bills of exchange from that place
to this ; and having advanced from the
Natches as far as the river Tennaflee, was
there encaped on the 19th March lafl, with
four other travellers, when, about midnight,
five armed Indians seized and tied Mr.
M'Rea and two of his fellow travellers : in
the mean time the other two escaped and fled
from the camp. The Indians after having
led their captives out and fattened them to
taees, packed up every (ingle article belong
ing to them, saddled and loaded their valua
ble horses, and inounted and rode off—after
having gone a small distance, the Indians sent
back one of their party with u faiaH piece of
bacon and a few handfulls of Indian meal,
who gave it to the captives, then untied them
and rode off. Mr. M'Rea and the other
two built a raft and defeended the river Ten
naflee, and in four days arrived at
from whence he reached this place on foot
last evening. Being robbed of all letters as
well as bills, Mr.M'Rea can give nodefcrip
tion of the bills, but fays that the amount
is about 20,000 dollars, i hefe bills have
been colle&ed at the Natches by Mr. Abijah
Hunt, and are probably composed ps Gui
on's bills on the Secretary of War, for the
pay of the army—of Mr. Hani'an's bills on
Jamer; o'_Hai"R or William Bell of Philadel
phia-t-of Mr. Ellicott'a bills on the Treasu

by or upon John Wilkms, the ,quarVr-fn:.--

they are indorsed in blank, so as to be. cur

is all the information thnt at pre feat we are

in a few days Mr. JefTe Hunt, of this place)
to whom the; loft bills were addrrlTed, will
receive duplicates, and futh further inform"
at'loll from Natches, as will enable him to
