It has roused our feelings. We have ' rejo'ced wheri victory followed the standard of liberty. When despots were ' fuccefiful, we have experienced the deep- 1 eft anxiety.-—We have lamented that v our good wishes were' the only aid we ' ■ could give the French. Among the different powers combirr- v ed agiinlt the Rights of Man, we have ? marked the Britilh nation the champion I of defpotifmi With indignation we a have heard thefr insolent dictates to the c ' small neutral powers of Europe, to join 1 in the fubjygation of France, With c sorrow we have seen every principle of P -liberty, hitherto retained by the people J' of Britain,' violated by its present cot nipt government, and tlieir most virtu- r • ous inhabiiants rranfported to foreign lands, or going into voluntary exile : P But we hope these things will ultinjate- ? ly produce good, and that there is Ml 11 a latent spark, which by excessive fricti on, wiH kindle a feme, and cc:ifanie the rotten edifice of the Britiih govern ment, on the ruins of which another mayarife, the bails whereof shall be jus- F tice, liberty, and equality. ti While with anxiows expectation we lc contemplate the affairs of Europe, it ir would be criminal to forget our Owu ri countr)'.

We ' have watched each motion of thole ifvpower but are sorry we cannot exclaim, " well j. done thou good and faithful servant!" U We have seen the nation infuhed, our n rights violated, our commerce ruined ; —and what has been the conduct of Government ! Under the corrupt in j Alienee of the paper system, it has uni p "forinly crouched to Britain, while 011 the COnttary our allies the French, to wliom }■ we owe out political exigence, have bscti |e tieated ujifriendiy 5 denifcd any aUvau-' } tages frbrn their treaties with us ; their (l Minister abused ; atld those individuals among us, who deflred to aid their arms, [ e profe'euted as traitors—Bluih Ameri » cans for the conduct of your govern ■< ; s rhent! ! !

Do you not set if l 5 despots prevail, you must have a despot r _ like the reft of the nations ? If all ty i£ rants unite against free people, fliould P ijt all free people unite against tyrants? e ifes I Let us unite with France; and y (land or fall together. lament that a than who hath so a ' c,l g peffeffed the public confidence, as e the head of the Executive Department hath pcfleflid it, fhoulcl put it to so fe ;s vere a trial as he hath by a late appoint ment.

What is despotism? ,f Is it no: a union of exeyutive, legisla tive, and judicial authorities in the fame f hands ? This union then has been ef . fefted. Your chief Justice has been ap pointed to an executive office, by the head of that branch of Government: _ ..II; that capacity he is to make treaties : I Those treaties are your fuprtme law ;— and of this J'upremt law he is Jitprcme j j u ''s e ■ • What ha 9 beeomc of yotli cofiftitution afrd liberties : Fellow Citizens, 1 We hope the mifcortdudt of the Ex ecutive may have proceeded from bad advice ; but we can only look to the t immediate cause of the mifchief. To us, it feetns a radical chang# of measures is neeeflary. How (hail tliis be effected ? Citizens ! it is to be effected by a change of men. Deny the continuance of you# confidence to such members of the Le gislative body as have an imerelt diftinft from that of the people. To trull ycalr feivejj to .'took holders, what is- irj but like the Romans, to deliver the poor debtor to his creditor, as his abfolirte property. To trull yourselves to spe culators, what is it, but to commit the lamb to the wolf to be devoured. It was recommended by the conven tions of some of the States so to amend the cohftitution, as to incapacitate any man to serve as Preiident more than eight years fucceflively. Consider well this experiment. 'Tis probably the most certain way to purge the different de- : partments, and produce a new state of , things. Believe us fellow citizens, the public , welfare is our only motive. , WILLIAM NEELY, Chairman , Attest, 4 . John Montgomery, Sec'ry. , PHILADELPHIA/ | AUGUST I.
