a • preach'r-g this afciibing Ji the■ niiftfics of war to kings. , Kingsiiave indeed donemnch mifchief n the woktd—they have generally been "«>:id of war, and have entered into or provoked it, on very flight grounds. But unfortunately, facts do not tell a better taie »f Republics. Ail the re publics of antiquity were as martial a* ' prone to war, as monarchies—nay, the 1 passion for war wa« much ftrongerin the republics of most celebrity, than in j , moll of the a.l. lent dcfpotic countries. ; There have been no proper republics | in modern Europe, except such as have 1 been too fnall to think of conquetl. J The French ai e yet forming a govern- ( tnent—neither their thareclcr, nor the precise nature of tSvir future goverH- ; Kent can be yet forefeen. ; In America it is a Angular fa£l that : the most win'm democrats at the pre (ent time, are the only advocates tor war. Yet these people declare themselves f lepublicans—they even gfTume the cha- Vaiter of the only republicans in Ameri ca ; —and denounce the oppofers of war as the friend; of ,monarchy and a- t rillocracy.—Their two politions there- c fore cannot he true—Either the friends a of government and peace are the real republicans ; 01; the republicans are most (• disposed for ws*r ; and in either cafe ; " L e democrats mtili be wrong in one of h eir aflertions. '' War-is commonly a losing game.— ? - ){hin » but felf defence can jullify it. The pl;a of engaging in war to dc- b d the cause of liberty in another y intry, is extremely fallacious. The ai mof government to which men an' p nex the word Liberty, i 6 altogether in derinite. Some nations think liberty can be maintained only in limited mo narchies. Even the patriots of Eng land, the whists, fox, Sheridan &c. are llntercly of this opinion. But the Americans think republics alone can enjoy liberty. Were nations then t>> engage in war foi the liberty of other ,p nations, they would al ways be involved g ( iu hollilitie3, to maintain particular f forms of government —a fyllera fraught A with ciuHeis mlchief.

The foregoing corresponds with o ther accounts of abuses in every part of Jei the administration in that country. 111 Pri time of war, men seek emplo, mcnt P rl without labor, and if fevtre vigilance letl is not employed to re fir?, in them, the agents and {peculators will multiply, , till ac»untry will not maintain th*m. as '] Multitudes of agents in this country rel wvre perpetually occupied i.n defrauding (>2l the republic. It has been a common pra&ice for the pin chafers to charge 'f 1 ? the republic ten 01 fifteen per cent more v than they have given for proviftons, | one freight, &c. This is not libe dated to prove that republicans and tho felf ftiled patriots are worse than other c d, men ; but it ought to convince every ( or , < mm that they are no better.
