If a physician Ihould discover and point

not be the heighth of absurdity to suppose
that he intended by that disclosure, to pre

In arbitrary governments there are nc
parties. Power being far above tbe reach
of all, there is no scramble for it. What
is deemed impossible, excites no efforts, no
impatient desires to obtain. None but mad
men or children cry for the moon. But in
a free state the cafe is otherwise—all by
the laws have equal power & equal rights,
and by intrigues, popular acts, and com
binations or clubs, a few m,ay contrive to
augment their power and influence," which
however can be done only by lessening the
power of others.
It follows clearly, "Hiat the influence of
clubs is in derogation of the equal rights
of the citizens and of the power of the
laws.
To fay there are,no parties in the Unit
ed States, is speaking against the nature of
things and experience. We have only to
take care that parties do not get the upper
hand of the laws. Thus, and thus only,
we may maintain the sovereignty of the
people.

We meet every day with a number o

of the redlitude of their sentiments, art
actually opprefliug their country by dan

no pains to prevent such laws from being
carried into execution. They think them

who have worn military commifiions, with

walked in solemn silence to the Hill, where
a circle was formed round the pillar, and
the following ADDRESS was delivered
by Mr. JOHN SoLBY, jun. Mu/ierof the
Lodge.
Fellow-Citizens and Brethren,
We have now aflembled, around the

Pillar you behold—and in their behalf,
I now solemnly dedicate it to the me-1
mory of our late beloved, and mcft
worfhipful brother, the hoii. JOSEPH
WARREN, and his affociatcs, who
nobly fell on this memorable spot, in
the cause of their country.
And when, from this celebrated emi
nence, you behold the folcmn temples
the abodes of domeltic happmefs—-the
ancient feat of literature—the veltiges
of opposition to tyranny —the fruitful
fields of the hnfbandmert —and the wav
ing flag of commerce—forget not thole
by wlmfe virtuous exertions, you now
enjoy these incftimable bleflings.
And while they bloom afrefh in your
I own remembrance, convey the history
of this noble purchase to yonr Vifteniug
children—teach them obedience to the
voice of their country —infoim them,
that their birth-right is freedom —and
pointing to this monument, tell them,
the legacy left them by their count ry
men to maintain it, is VALOUR. Ha
ving thus inspired them with their
bravery, to defend their country in the
field, may they descend from the tumult
of war, to the tranquillity of and
learn the noble conqu'eit of themielves.
And, O, thou ever ex'ilUng and om*
nipotent Architett, approve this folcnn
dedication to tlie memory of Columbia's
sons—Accelerate the extension of their
honed fame, and perpetuate its being in
the bosom of posterity—May this pub
lic evidence of their valoui, teach others
the danger of invading the peacctul a
bodes of freemen—and may it have a
•?ndeacy to lessen that lawless ambition
or has tilled the world

Smith's artillery company, with the flag

In all the official denunciations a

vorife phraseology, whcther those v.'ohlj
are intended to lengthen out the fen-
tence, help the found, br excite odium,
as ! they respect this country they are
perfectly unmeaning, for there are no

Mr. Dayton who in point of talents,
is by far the superior member in Con
gress from this Hate, in his zeal to call
odium on the popular societies, runs in
to an error of the most pernicious ten- .
dency ; by the printed debates on that
fubjett, he i» made to fay, that " the
different branches of government, are
the cbnttitutional cetitintls over the li
berties of the people," and as this waff
in to the societies, it may
fairly be inferred, that he meant to rf
tablifh, or at lealt to inculcate an opini
on, that all other watchmen were im
proper and criminal; now let me ask by
whom have die liberties of the people in
all countries been violated ? has it net
been by the government ?—then does it
not follow, that if the liberties of the
people can pollibly be in danger, (ami
they mull, or they would not want a
centinel) it mutt be from the govern
ment ; to fct up the government, as a
watchman over itfelf, is perfectly a'biuid
and ridiculous, and it is defctiplive of
