HA Vlj^G.#*eiapttd to {hew, in .my
former numbpr perilous and
warlike situation into which the United
j States haye_ been reduced, has been produc
[ ed by our internal divisions ; and that those
divisions have been occafioncd by the tactions
spirit of oilr own bad citizens, aided by the
arcs of France, and not by any improper
measures of pur Government Having
made it that the Jacobin clamors
a gain ft taxes und.public expenditures, ought
to excite the public indignation against
themfelvesj \yho were the true authors of all
tile evils- . which we deprecate, I proceed to
shew, as I profiled, that the expences, of
the present. year, and those in which we (hall
probably he involved, and the burdens which
will eventually fall upon the people, if they
have but one spark of that patriotism which
warmed them ia 1775, will appear as the
veriest trijle, compared to the precious in
terests at stake.
iawrt.Jyl
In considering this part o£ the fubjedV, I
intend to fntisfv all " True Americans," that
the expences are unavoidable—that fiibmif
fion to France would not save, but only mag
nify our lo!Tes, and that in the end, the
cheapest line of conduct, wili be* refinance :
—ln the hekt place, I fliall attempt to (hew,
that tke Government has been governed by
a rigid ecoWotny in the public expenditures ;
that they are'riot greater than were neccfTary ;
that they are infignificant, compared
to the wealth and population ol\the United
States, ilid' that |hey have already produced
the most hapjjy effefts upon our trade, navi
gationj ami upon our agriculture^
It ha-s isWfi fai«l, that the expences which
the nation are now incurring, are unavoida
ble :-*»This is apparent, from the Nhture of
Man.-—l'm gtojnmoh life, we all know and
feel, that to get rid of unjust pretentions,
the only way is to oppoft them in their com
mencement. If a man encroaches upon my
farm, by fencing in an acre of my meadow,'
I instantly jdaim my right, and punifli the
aggrejforWould it be natural to fuffer
him to.rcttjain quiet in his dishonest posses
sions, in order that he might be fatiifitd,
and refrjpnfrpm further encroachments ? Or
would it bf expeded, that if I conceded one
acre without opposition, he would not
soon covet a fe«ond ?> Or to take a cafe, more
analagous to the French depredations—Sup
pose a mifsrly man, whom I well knew, was
in the daily habit of plundering from my
corn barn, or from my shop, would i: be
politic to wink at such depredations, umler
the fooliih hop;, that his avarice would be
fatiified, short of my ruin ? If such would
be our mode of realigning in common life,
why should we fail *to make the application
to nations, who have the fame passions, the
lame love of plunder, and who are Icf's re
trained by moral sentiments, and not in the
lead affected by a sense of reputation. If a
fubmiflive.temper would be impolitic ajainft
the encroachments of avarice alone, how
much more neceflary, to discard it, when we
are afiailed by inordinate ambition, combin
ed with a mifcrly love of plundeV ?
France, deranged and disorganised by a
Revolution, the mod tremendous and the
most aftonifiling that the world has witness
ed—the morals of her citizens corrupted—
their manufa&ures destroyed their indus
trioUs habits extinft—the nation reduced to
two Fimple clafies, of " Soldiers and Cerfs
—ln what manner can she fublift, but upon
that fyfteui 6f plunder, to which all her
young nien have served a regular appren
...tjccfliip ? . ...... .•
During this 'mighty Waze of revolution
anil viftory, which has dazzled and petrified
her unfortunate and now subjugated neigh
bors, France has -been a prey to internal dis
cord and private misery. Their soldiers have
feafted, but their citizens have wanted bread.
In. order to divert their attention from their
private distresses, and the still more mifera
b)e profpefts which await them, their artful
rVilsrs haye fcizt-d violent hold upon the
tfeak fide of the nation. Vanity and the
leve of power have been conspicuous traits
in the Gallic character, from the time of
Charlemagne. Thy republican tyrants have
fagutioufly contrived to transfer the glory of
tie Grand Moncrqtic, which ten years ago
was the firft pafiio'n of Frenchmen, to the
"■ Grand Action," and the schemes of uni
verftl empire, conceived nearly effefted by-
Lewis XIV. have been received, and still
more fuccefsfully carried on by this nation
of fans-culottcs, soldiers and robbers.
Goaded by two <ttch passions, as ambition
and love ol plunder ;—burfling with nation
al conceit, and slushed with vidtory, what na
tion can hope to appease or nfTuage this
nr.phty Republic principle fetbounds
to ner passions ? Look at every page of her

question by -briefly dating the cXitnn.ie :u&
i the fate of. pther nations.
Every nation in Europe, but Great Bri
tain, has in the eonteft with France,, betni
governed by a narrow and parfimon<tju-, po
iicv :—France has debauched and I'ri-fitcr.ed r
iiir-re nations tliHi) 111'' !ias CQii-d.i 1 he
confidei ation oi living "** few twns,
or a few provinces, or a few melons of dol
lars, has n* rl'y iqbpgatedall Tiaope to the
|ower of France But this niggurdiy policy
has saved them nothing but a name. -Like
the allies of Rome'; they have the honor to
pay a tribute, and to support the grandeur
of their noile friend, and to faave .Jionoruble
mention made of them in the bulletin of the
republic. The firft xainple whieh is exliibi
ted to view is that of Holland ,—Holland
was our- old 'ally and irie'ji-—fhe foolilhly
•thought herfclf free,'but Fr*U?p .cenviiyied
'hi-r that she was ■ etisfcved.. No s niiß v«»l!
• detiy, that the Dutch loved/their money bet
ter than their liberties. A modefn Dutch
man, not the men who wretied their liberties
fropi Philip of Spain, but the new-falhioned
paeliic Dutchman, would surrender his rights
and the honor of his nati«n foonet than his
purfc : Invaded by France—threatened with
her vengeance, if they did not consent to be
free, and to let France make free with their
country—terrified at the apprehension of the
cost of vigorous defence—Holland ignoini
nioufly and meanly submitted to the terms
which France saw fit to iinpofe.—What has
Holland saved by this despicable policy ?
What could (he have loft by a manful refi
nance ? If vanquilhed, llie might have - loft her
territory-and her wealth, but (lie would have
retained the fair fame which a 70 years glo
rious war had gained for her ancestors. The
Dutch migHi have perished, but they would
have perifiied with honor :—They have now
purchased life, but they hold it with dHorace.
In the narrow calculations of political arith
metic, in which honor is fold by the pound,
and national rights are battered by weight
and measure, Holland has gained nothing by
fubmiffiou, but dishonor and slavery. She
has not favedone trade is destroy
ed herfamous bank without credit—her na
vigation rotting in the lexel—her fLet
fighting the battles of France, vanquished
and deftroyed —her East-India commerce at
an end—her mnft valuable colonies captured
or rendered useless to her—her merchants
having paid thirty per cent to France, in re
quisitions, are fufFering-the disgrace* of bank
ruptcy—but above all, a French mercenary
armv quartered upon herpeaceabte inhabitants
, in fubiniffive alliance with the Grand Repub

7o the Freemen of Lancaster County.
WHEREAS the prefect situation of
the United States of America is such as to,
require the united efforts of all good citizens
to prote A and defend the government there
of, not only from all foreign iwfitience, but
from domestic foes : and we sincerely believe
that the Constitution of the United States,
founded upon the will of the people, ;j well
calculated to promote the happiness ar.d
prosperity of our common country, and to
Fee*re the blrflings of civil and religious li
berty to Ourfclves and our pofteritv ; and
that the adroiriiftration undtr it, has been
wildly direfled to attain these great ends—
Earneflly desiring, tliat the principle's of the
laid constitution may remain' inviolate, as
long as the name cf liberty may be known
and revered in any part of the Globe we
view with iudigßant sorrow thebafe attempts
of ( «r domestic enemies to scatter the f«eds
of discord among ÜB, to weaken the govern
ment of our own' hafcds, raise up groundless
jealoufiej against the officer* who are ap
pointed to administer it, and to (lander• the
molt incorruptible Patriots of America.
Deeply revolving these- things in our
minds, a d conceiving it to be the duty of
all men, at this eventful period, to speak
their sentiments, nnawed and uninfluen
ced ; and knpw>ng the great importance of
the approaching election, for a Governor
of this Commonwealth—We the Giand
Jury of Lancaller county at this present
May feflions 1799 think it our duty to re
commend the fubjedl to the (jeripus consi
deration of our Ftllpw-citizens, Itavrng tve*
rj one to form hi* Own judgment, and to aft
for hicnftlf. 1
The important'r» ilk which Pennfylvaliia
holds in the Union renders her eouduSt with
regard to the General Government extreme
ly, intercfhng ; and there is reason to dread,
that if we ftieuld" raise up charattert in the
admin.ftration- of the (late, who are opposed
to the General adminiftratipn, for the avowed
purpose of" ftopp]ng the wheels of Govern
ment ' the whole fabric may eventually be sha
ken, and all that is dear and valuable to Fiee
tnen be involved ift the common ruin.
With this view, therefore, we have taken
into consideration the relative charafters of
the Candidates who are proposed to be voted
for Governor—and not only from the know
ledge of some of ourselves, but from the best
information we have been able to colledV, and
on which we can rely, we do mod earnestly
recommend to our Fellow-citizens of the
county of Lancafler, JAMES ROSS of Al
legany, as a proper person to be chosen
Governor at the next Heft ion.
We believe him to be a man of abilities,
capable to serve us faithfully, warmly attach
ed to the true interest of his country, afriend
to peace and a friend to national honor and
Independence, h,ighlv refpe&ed, not 01 ly in
bii own, but in the filter states.
