THE True American is an hermaphro
dite chara&er, partaking in nearly tqual
proportions of the Democrat and Fed,ruii/i ;
not attscHed to the low tyrants of Frince,
becaufn they have plundered '.hi American
eaiAHierce ; prejudiced, and stupidly jealous
of t)fc E.glrft, beCaute tbe United States
ooce were Britlfh colonies } and poflefled of
as extravag nt ideas of independence and
auiccracy, a# the Emperors of Russia or Chi
na. When a Bull roared through the anea-
Aws, he excited the vanity of a Frog, who,
thinking he could swell himfelf up to an
I equal fiz«, made tbe fochfti attempt, and
burlted.
The Democrat hates the British govern
ment with 33 much justice as a highway
man hates the law, becavfe it has been the
champion of religion and social order egainft
the mod impious and powerfultombiuation
to ruin both, that men ever beheld. The
True American is ftiy of this government,
for the fame resfon as an ingrate stuns his
bcecta&or, or the infqlvent his creditor, to
whom he owes more than be intends ever to
pay.
If the American states continue united, it
will be owing to some other eaufe than the
exiting strength of their government, or
the prefetit virtue of their citizens. Private
ambition and flaie jealous) will oppose every
t attempt <o ftrcitgthen the Executive, h«»-
i e«* ueceffsiryi *nd every attempt will has
[ tep, more or less. a diffulution of the unioni
Feuds and jealoulies, aggravated by foreign
intrigue, will pave the way to civil wars-and
all their attendant miseries—and altho' they
may still be called independent states, whe
ther under one or more fovcreign beads,
they willalways be wretchedly dependent on
the f>ip;rior influence of , foieign politic*.
As l«ng as we affeft to be compieatiy inde
pendent of the great maritime powers of
i Europe, we shaLl alten ately be the sport
j and viflim of each. Their politics and ours
•j wiii all be tak n from the profligate pages
; of Machiavel.
It will require centuries to establish a na
tional charadter, or to create a national spi
rit in the United States of America. The
mixture is too heterogeneous : it i» cem
pouuded of too many toul ingredients, to
permit an^ be proad of the whole,
i-vrrnaicßt
To be great,
individuals, mud be mo-
rally good.' Any other kind of greatness
ia like the blaze of a comet, or (he eruptions
of a voicano—-evanefcent, though terrible.
Fiat just it ia, si ruat calum.
Our molt excellent, humane, and impar
tial Governor having closed his official
electioneering) arangementS, as far as re
spects Berks county, by appointing John S.
Heiller, Ei'q. to l'upercede George Eckert,
Elq. as Prothonotary of the Common Pleas
and Clerk of the Seflions—and Colonel Peter
FrajJey to l'upercede Meffirs. Jacob Bower
and James Scull, in-their offices' of Kegifter
of Wills, Recorder of Deedj .and Clerk of
the Orphans C-iurt—l think a few remarks
on the propriety of thsfe arrangement* will
not be amiss. I (h»U therefore, i(i two or
three fubfequexit numbers, according to the
room Mr. Juiigman has to spare in his paper,
enquire haw far the Governor is supported
by Fatt in reasons which he has assigned for
hiscomiutt and in his aflcrtion that '• if his
appointments are judged hv an impartial test
he will be entitled ts approbation."—He
fliatl be judged by the test of truth, that bug
bear to the Jacobins, and you, my Fellow
Citizens fb>ll determine how he stands it.
As the Governor acknowledes himluif ac-
Countable to his conßituents for hisdifcreet
ex' use of his power, I fliall make no apology
for this addrel's except by (tating that I ;tm
