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.
