Ct, ~' Frtm Flint a ld. PARTY- WR in gene ral :o be cautiot:liy rend—in a great ciills, like that of the spring 1776,. they are more fiucercly de voted nil each fide to what appears tp be the trutlt. In times of quiet they are generally contemptible and dangerous. The liberty of the prels, that glorious right of frte citizens, will naturally iufpire a vain man or a rcftlef» and vifionaty o.ie.with the ambition of diflindtion. A vain man, if he can write ai all, when he has once fuccefsfnlly ven tured, becomes oracular, dogmatic & troitbiefome—His insolence grows with his vaniry, and from the faci lity with which he can auaik the conduit of government, 01 of those who fill its nulls, the opinion o/hu own consequence increases—He hugs himfelf in the belief that as he can wound, he is considered as formida ble. The lafl knowledge perhaps that such a man acquires, is the know ledge of himfelf. In his vain a«d felfilh indulgence, lie flatters himfelf into the idea that he under stands inoft fobj;<fts well enough to write 011 them with force and acute nefs—Were such a man nfked whe ther he had devoted himfelf to the bell authors—and digested their learning by reflection—Whether he had long endeavored to cleanse his own mind—to letftify its defects— to ameliorate his iitfeiSions, and to gain that philosophical tranquility which is so neceflary to the difcern nient of abftritfe truth—his conver sation and his habits of life would answer for him, if lie had not ho nesty enough to tell you—No, he has not studied long or well. An intimate knowledge of all that others have laboriously investigated would have inspired him with mo desty— He would learn in the revo lution of opinions, for ages, a diffi dence of his own—and lie would amiably be disposed to caution, and to repress his contempt for the opi nions of others. A rectitude of un derltanding, had he cultivated it, would have corrected that reltlefs vanity and disposition to obtt ufion which mark a hade to write or to speak dogmatically ; and had he obtained t ranqtiility of mind, t bings would appear in their true shapes, and his discerning faculties would have been invigorated. Under this temper, a thouf'and things that spur on the vain and the foolilh into er ror and heat, would appear unim portant and unworthy enquiry. 111 ihe country, men cei tainly think with more correct ness, and pofiels a more vigorous fiiare of common feufe, than in crowded ci ties—in them the (ciences generally flourtfh moil — but the moral and po litical qualities of men and of go vernment, are perhaps bed felt at;d 11 tidied in the countiy, than amidst the great mass of the people Large commercial cities cSm Icarce ly be claiied as of any one nation in particular—they are generally com posed of people from a great many nations — such are Philadelphia, N. if oik, &c.—There foreigners easily obtain a footing and are caressed— Scarcely are they warmed into l'up plenefs by the genial climate of freedom, but they feel a difpofuion to meddle with the concerns of go vernment — They find their impor tance increased (in their own ima gination) by an alliance with foine faction which they may happen to find ; and fnch is the mifcrnble ma lignity of faction, that, like a gan grene, it allimilates every thing within its sphere to its own putrid character—lt eagerly embraces any man of any country, or itny cha racter who will inlift in its lie ws. The liberty of the press is the sacred right of the citizens of this country —It is a high and most iiluftrious privilege which 110 man who is not a citizen is here intitled to. Per mit foreigners to use and to abuse this privilege, and the sober part of the community at a distance, who cannot pofiibly know the writer, may and will be exposed to the ma chinations of foreign emillaries Such foreigners (and 110 citizen can be a foreigner) and temporary refi dents, ought to remember that a free anil wile nation have lung fmce given us an example in point—we I'-»ve foccelsfully imitated if.» Aihe nians in the glotious pmiuit of li berty— and I'urpaliod them. We may perhaps feel jultiiied iu reviv ing foment their laws, if forcigttu? ca]! thefirfl flout. Tbe citizens of this country ought to be too proud of their country and its govern ment, to bear with patience the meddling obti ufivenels of any man w'ho has not the honour of being a citizen of the United States. The French and Knglifh writers at Phi ladelphia mitfl be quiet—and not attempt to dill tub the peace of this happy country.
