From Corrrfpondznls, The sublimity of the republican go vernmental maxims, while it marks pro found wisdom in the greit men who have developed them, and interwoven thetn in a theory, likewise explains the Decef f'ty of good sense and much rejled'ion, in the individuals of our focietv. Without a constant exercise of these, how can the people underltand the practical aud just application of them. It is laid down, in a late celebrated law cafe, bv the Chief Justice t>f Americas as a prin ciple, that the of the coun try is in the citizens, and that they are joint tenants of rhis fovereigmy. With out an accurate corhprehenfion of this principle, and a virtuous and enlighten ed use of it, in the regulation of person al and political rights, the wildest con fufion, and the boldelt ambition would rend the country, with all the honors of anarchy and civil wai ! If properly nnderftood, otir duty which would flow from it, for all truths form obligations, would be this—ln the exercise of indi vidual rights under the constitution, re gard mull be had to the equal rights of initancc ; ill the exereife of I'tlerty of fptcvir and of the prifs„ a vir tuous caution would prescribe a moder ate ityle of discussion ; and all haily and crude- opinions would be restrained as an abuse of the right, as they might do an injury to the country, or to the joint tenants in the sovereignty.—Let a citi zen, vicious, dishonest, bold, and igno rant, know that he is on? of the fnvrr eig/is of the country, and he will feel none of the sentiments of the foveivign, but the unnatural and feditior.s thirst of personal power, and ft If government, and will probably exert her right con trary to the exalted theory to \yhich that principle just now mentioned, be longs. Let us not only preierve the sublime and beautiful theory we now enjoy, but likewise endeavor to diffufe that .knowledge of its delicate nature, in which alone it can be secured from the violence of vice, and the rude touches of ignorancc. What can be a more complete illustrati on of an abuse of the ineftimable'privilege of afreeprefs, than the writing of some body who signs himfelf Atticus, in the Philadelphia papers—at such a moment of internal convulflon to publifli such a piece, is like permitting a quack to make experi ments on a disordered state of heahh—to fee how much poison the patient will bear! What would be done to a miscreant in a large city, who during the efforts of the citizens to extinguifc a raging fire, lhould be detedled in pouring buckets of oil into an engine instead of water ! If it is the base interest of any foreign nation to fee us thrown into confufipn, and of course weakness, just it this critical state of our national affairs, is it not to be expefled that Ihe would employ scribblers, like Atiicus, as to add to our disorders, by the publication of poisonous pieces ? Thus converting an engine of great good, a free press, into a machine of djftrudlion.
