Eafton (P) Aagnit nth r7g> APPRO ACHf'NG ELECIION. No. 111. To the Eleilors Of Pennsylvania. AMONG the other evils which the com mittee attribute to the Britilh trtaty, is the injury which it is alledged to have done to our j£.7st India trade. Wh£n 1 firlt read this paragraph; its absurdity was so appar ent, as to leave no doubt on my mind' that a typographical er-or had been iade, and I fully expetted to have speedily ken its cor rection ; but as none luch has appeared, it is evident that this, like many other parts of the address, was a bale and intentional raif £prefentation. Before that treaty, we trad ed to the Britifli \Eaft Indies merely Upon fufte ranee ; our commerce thither depended entirely oti the pleasure of the Britilh court, and our merchants were liable to all the in conveniences ariting from the fudaen (top page of one of the great channels through which their capital was employed. By that treaty the privilege of trading there was se cured, and eftablifhe.d on a permanent foun dation. We were even placed on a far more advantageous ground, than the great body of Englilh fubjefts themlelves, for while their enterprise is (hackled by the exclusive iramu ittitiesgrantea to monopolising corporate com panies, who never can carry Jon commerce with Co much cheapnel's to others or profit to Great Britain in 1783, and all perfonsborn within the British allegiance, who at that time Had a&ualiy espoused t"lie American cause and were fettled within the territory of the United States) were entitled to partake in the refill t of the contest." " This opinion is recognized by the Ex ecutive of the government of the United States, in the iaftru&ions to the collectors of the cuftoniS refpetting American seamen, in the bill before Congress, by both branches of the legiilature of Fennfylvania in the late elfftion law that the governor returned with Ms negative, and by authoritative British writers ; who declare that all the inhabitants of the United States of America were put 'on the footing of tbe inhabitants of a ceded Island by the definitive treaty." " After tbe treaty tbe national indepen dence was consummated, and tbe subjects of tbe British crown in future were placed on the' fame footing with rtlier aliens, and fub jeNf\ed to the C.ititr measures and rules in ac quiring the rights of citizenfliip." This opinion then adopts the following principles ; 1 ft. That the revolutionary war was a ci vil one, and therefore did r)ot subsist between two independent nations, but between dif ferent branc he* of the fame empire. 2d. That the people of America, being entitled to " el'poufe which party they plcaf ed" were not bound by thea&sof their owu country, unless they gave to them their indi vidual consent. 3d. That as the civil war continued until the definitive treaty of 'B3, it did not end with our.declaration of Independence in '76. 4th. That as America was ceded to her ftlf by the definitive treaty, until then file had obtained no legitimate l'overeign autho rity, since lien it was granted by Great Bri tain. » And sth. That as the definitive treaty consummated our national independente, it existed before, only in an inchoate state ; and therefore in order to complete it, a con cession was neceflary on the part of Great Britain, Now what fays the Aurora, whose autho rity certainly will not be disputed, either by its jackall Mr. Dallas, or its prot£ « Mr. M'Kean ?
