But however great those difficulties may be, I am persuaded you will meet them with a firm and intrepid step, re solved, so far as you are concerned, that no dilhonor or calamity, (if any ihouid await us) (lull be ascribed to a weak orpartial ad- ministration of jufticei ( If ever any people had reason to be thank ful for a long ami happy enjoyment of peace, liberty and i'afety, the people of these states finely have. While every other country al most has been convulsed with foreign or do mestic war, and foine of the fine ft countries on the globe have been the scene of every speCies of vice and disorder, where no life was fafe, no property was secure, no innocence had protection, and nothing but the baleft i crimes gave any chance for momentary preser vation ; no citizen vf the United States could truly fay that in his own country any oppression had been permitted with impunity, or that he had any grievance to complain of* but that he was required to obey those laws which his own representatives had made, and under a government which the people them selves had chose. But in the midst of this envied situation, we have heard the govern ment as grossly abused as if it had been guil ty of the vile ft tyranny, as if common sense or common virtue had fled from our country, and those pure principles of republicanism, which have so strongly characterized its ■councils, could only be found in the happy foil of France, where the sacred fire is pre fei'vedby five Directors on ordinary occalions 4fld three 011 extraordinary ones—who, with the aid of a republican army, secure its pu rity from violation by the Legifiative repre sentatives of the people—The external con duct of "that government is upon a par with its internal Liberty, like the religion of Mahomet, is propagated by the (word.

French arsenals are the repertory of their arms, French trea suries of their money, tbe city of Paris oi their curiosities ; and they are honored with the constant ftfpjtort of French enterprizes in any other part of the world. Such is the progress of a power which began by de clarations that it abhSrred all conquests for itfelf, and fought no other felicity but to emancipate th® world irom tyrants, and leave each nation free tochufea government of its own. Those who take no warning by such an awful example, may have deeply to lament the confcquences of neglecting it. The situation in which we now (land with that country is peculiarly critical.

PHILADELPHIA , SATURDAY '• VENING, MAY 18. A C H A R G E, own. Among other measures of defence and pre caution which tHe exigency of the crisis, and the magsitude of the danger, suggested to those to whom the people have entrusted all authority in such cases, were certain ails of the legiilature of the United States, not on lv highly important in themfclves,but deserv ing of the most particular attention, on ac count of the great difeontent which has been excited against them and efpeeially as some of the state legiilatures have publicly pronounc ed them to be in violation of the constitution of the United States. I deem it my duty, therefore, on this occafton to state to you the nature of those laws which have been grossly mifreprcfented, and to deliver my deliberate opinion as a Judge, in regard to the objections arifiug from the constitution. The afls to which I r?fer, you will readily suppose to be what are commonly called the Alien and Sedition afts. I ihall speak of each Separately, so far as nb common circum stance belonging to them may make a joint difcuflion proper. I. The Alien Laws, there being two. To theie laws, in paiticular, it has been objected. 1. That an Alien ought not to be remov ed on fuipicion but on proof of some crime. 2. 'l'hat an Alien coming into the coun try, on the faith of an aa stipulating- that in a certain time, and on certain conditions, he 'may become a citizen, to remove him in an arbitrary manner before that time ; would be a breach of public faith. V That it is ineonfiftent with the follow in"- clause in the constitution, (Art. i. fee. <)') " The migration or importation of such persons as any of the ft ate s now existing fliall think proper to admit, (hall not be prohitl cd by the Con~refs prior to the year- i &o!> bßt (i tax or duty maybe impefed on Inch inj porr.ition, Dot exceeding ten dollars tor eacl ** With regard to the firft objeftion, viz " That an alien ought not to ho removed'ot suspicion, but on proof of l'ome c »me." 1 is believed that it never was hsggeltea 11 any other country, that aliens had a right t< go into a foreign country, and (lay at iliei will and pleasure without any leave from tin government. The law of nations undmibt edly is, that when an alien goes into a foreigi country, he goes under either an exprcls o implied fifc-c«ndua. In »li countries " Europe, I believe, an express passport is ne xffary for grangers. Here great liberaht; is obterved, yet it is aways understood tha tfie government way,order away any aliei tvhofe ffciv is deemed incompatible with tht 'al'cty. of ther «nuitry.

In cases lify his, it is riclicubur to talk of a crime, be aufe perhaps the only crime, that a man car hen be charged with, is his being born it mother country, and having a strong at acliment to it. He is not puniflied to i crime that he has committed, but depnve< >f the power of committing one hereafter t< vhich even a sense of patriotism may temp i warm and misguided mind. Nobody*wh< las ever heard of Major Andre, that pofleffe: my liberality of minds but mufl believe tha l le did what he thought right at the time :hough in- my opinion it was a conduft it 10 manner juftifiable.

No, gentlemen. I with fucfi examples before their eyes, Con grefs had cither confined their precaution t< a war in form, or to citizens of France only losing all sense of danger to their country ii a regard to nominal diftindlions, they wouk probably justly have deserved the charge o neglefting their country's fai'ety in one of it moil eflential points, and hereafter the ven men who are now clamorous against then for exercising a judicious forefight, migh too late have had reason to charge them, (a many other infatuated governments in Eu rope may now fairly be charged by their mi ferable deluded fellow citizens) as the au thors of their country's ruin. But thofi who objett to this law seem to pay little re gard to considerations of this kind, and t< entertain no other fear but that the Frefideif rrriy exercise this authority for the mere pur pose of abusing it. There is no end to ar guments or suspicions of this kind. If thi power is proper it mufl be cxercifed by foiw body.
