MR. FEN NO, THE JacobWs of our country (fliame fu ft life our cheeks thatnieie are such beings in it) have long been in the habit of abuling our government, and the men who adminii'ter it. 1 here is icarcely a single article in the whole fyflem of the laws which have been e;iadied, that has receiver their appioba tion—On the contrary, while they have cried up the infallibility of thr majority when they ftippofed it to be with them, they have as constantly abused that majority, when they have acted in opposition to their opinions. These, or fjmilar remarks have been repeatedly offered to public confederation, and the people ap pear to be fully sensible of their truth, it may, however, be proper to observe, that as the spirit of sedition is inveterate, and is constantly (hewing its malignancy in one form or another, the friends of the United States ought to be constantly on their guard, to watdh the motions of their insidious ene mies, who fcek, by an almost infinite variety of modes, to rob the country of its.honor, peace, and happiness. At the present moment, all is calm ; iin'ivcrfal tranquility prevails; and the people express the mofl generous confidence in the constituted authorities. The difsffedted, the rcftlefs, the tuibulent, are frowned upon—the people turn their backs oirthem, and elect the friends of peaoe and independence, through the Union. Who would imagine this to be the (late of things, after reading the abuse pour ed out againflthe Executive of the union, in.some late publications, for thofevery measures which the -people feel and applaud a» wife and pa-ridtie and whicu the majorities of the Legislative bodies have fandtioned .' It is impofiible that one spark of pat riotism can animate the minds of those who thus traduce our national charadter. The authors of this abuse are not Americans—they bore n« part in he labors of atchieving the independence of the.U nited States—They do not speak the language of Americans—they know not the illustrious men who saved this country ir. war, ana who prefcrve it in peace. Our prosperity is the bane of these calum niators ; our misery is their object. Our union and refpedlability of charadter, they are solicitous to delftoy—Nothing like Independence of charadter, mee's their approbation—nor will they be guiet till they despair of reducing us to the abjedt condition of dependence on some foreign nation. Some late publications in the Aurora, are evident designed to excite uneasiness in the public mind relative to the final.execution of the treaties, concluded by this country with several foreign na tions. But this is not all. Uncommon paina are tak en'to furnifh some of the parties contracting with the United States, with reasons on which to found a suspension, if not a final and total refufal on their part to carry the treaties into effedt ; 1 refer parti cularly to the Spanish treaty. The following quo tation from a late Pitt&urgh paper, may serve as a key to the abuse of-the executive for the explanato ry article lately added to the British treaty. The remarks, it is true, are conjedtural ; but due in-' duftry will not be omitted, that they may be real iifA jn .llthiMr mifrhicllfl- ,|r ■■* — me quotation is as follows— " Spain will mofl; probably suspend the ratifica tion of her treaty with us-under a pretence of wishing explanations on the fubjedt of the British treaty, t fo far as refpedts the privilege given by the United States on our fide of the M fßlippi. This will be done at the interference of France, on the principle of diffatisfadtion with our treaty with Bri tain. Of the opposition from ourselves, J will veil ture to fay, some leading charadters expedt and wish it. For they will (land in need of this • ircumftance to jiiftify the opposition. It is well if they have not taken, and are not now taking undue means to accomplish the embarrafiment. I apply not this to our immediate reprefentativesf, it goes to a high er source. " France in fix months will probably have Lou isiana, or at least the eastern bank of the Spanish Miffifippi, and this cession will be made precisely with a view to rescue Spain from the Itipulation of her treaty with regard to the river, and to put it in the power of Fiance to diftsember the Union, by inviting a feceflion of the weft, on the ground of no otherwise participating in the freedom of navi gation. All these things are not only possible, but probable $ and when they happen, our reprefenta •tives will have the advantage ground with the ma'fs of the people, whowill look at what exists bad, and not at what, on a contrary system, might have ex ifled woife. It will be the profound and the re flecting only, that will separate unfavorable conse quence from juftifiable principle." f Gallatin and Findley. Translated for the Mercury. SPEECH of TREILHARD, President of the Council of Five Hundred, Preliminary to the oath of *" Eternal Hatred to Royalty." It was on this day—the moment in which I speak tnat the Tyrant fuffered the punifliment due to his crimes 3 It was, indeed, a great ohjcdt of justice, to have struck the crimhial; but it would have proved of small importance to the nation, if, from theiame stroke, royalty had not been annihi lated. So many misfortunes—fo much blood—so many crimes—ate not expiated by the death of a man; and this great revolution, of which the universe does not yet present an example, ought to raise up on the bloody ruins of the throne, the immoital edifice of a pure and unblemished republic. 'But, as if the firft efforts of a nation to re assume its rjghts were always a signal of alarm to tlje despots of thc-cart-h, the wilh of Frenchman was fcarccly known, and already monstrous alliances, defUuAive treaties, liad prepared the slavery of patriots ! al ready the Tyrant of the ocean, projected to starve us ; and the ambitious House of Auftr'a, whilst threatening our ffontiers, disposed, by anticipation, , ; as if a nation, who contemplated to i etcct ttklf into a democracy, was neccffjrily to dif- appear from the furface of the globe. at rt fiflance, it was asked, had we to oppose to warhk" phalanxes —'o officers grown old in the art 0 f u ar > Should we oppose to them young soldiers Gc: rals, whose despotism had ftifled t in-obfcm employments —a nation, in fadt, torn by a thou sand intestine fadtion, ? Be encouraged, entmies f tyranny, those young fold it 13 are thefoldier,,"] berty ; those generals, who were thought in« rienccd, are warm with c«urage, animated with' ' triotifra ; that nation, torn by fadtionc, i, si"" French nation, who cannot, in vain have fivorn establish a Republic. In an dtiv.en be' comes foldiets ; numerous battalions are form the thunder quits the entrails of the earth • and Jf treafoH at firli deceives our hopes, soon an almol' perpe-ual series of fuccefles and triumphs, carry V naongft our enemies that terror and dejedtion which Republicans nev,r know. These honorable fp a J s ' however .; these glorious trophies, the fruits of u'J vidtories, are stained with republican blood • Tim are but few families who do not demand of the'tT rant, a father, a husband, a son ; their death is the crime of tyranny. Shad«s of our brethren re ceive our oath. Hatred, eternal hatred to the re alty of whieh you were the ridtims. But the love of the republicans, whose blood ha, -mo.llened the fields of glory, is not the moil o idious of the crime* of the ty.ant : The rights of nation, violated, all the bonds of huaanity broken the fir ft principle, of natural right forgotten, an-' archy, robbery affaffinat*,, organized : This i, the work of a despot ; these the fruit, of royalty. "Doubtlets, long abuses, inveterate evils, are not destroyed without great shocks. So many con '« en _ ding intercftc; so many suppressed passions, pro duce emotions sometimes eonvulfive ; and an abfo lutc regeneration cannot be effected witheut forr.e corrfufion. Jt was in these particular misfortunes that the tnends of -kintf, placed all their hopes • to provoke disorder, to i/icreafe St, to maintain it • such was the obje& of their fatal policy : to m ;[. lead opinion, to corrupt public triwvKry, tQ con found all ideas, to-favcrrfo prepare exc?fics of eve" vy !..,d ; such the_obj«6 combinations.; they wiflied to .egpdjir.frightful th e effedls of the revolution ; ; to extingui(l Ve if ble, the love of nations for freedom. From every part of the world wete colledled the agents of tyranny, oi'rather every thing which the dregs of nations could present the moll corrupt: It,was through these impure channels that the ty rant concerted with our enemies, his plots, his in. action, his speeches, and even his filenee. Perlidi. ons men ! with what profound hypocrisy did they deceive, simple, credulous minds.! and., vvhijlt they sported with the candor and integrity of repuLl.- cans, with what fplendoi did they preach up the j dolatry of that liberty they detested, and the hor ror of that despotism which they served with b much meanness. In order more completely tode ceive us, they had the addiefs to deck therafclre* with the honors of perfection : .even shefucrificer, commanded by paniolifm, were jiot foreign to them; and the fame hand which covered then with an apparent proscription, 111 a country they feigned to have abjured, secretly lavished .upon them, in France, the gold destined topenfion.crime and to corrupt weakness. Yom wet: know, lucti ly upon almost of the that v they have appeared so p rov j. dencehad drawn from its ttcafuK, to enlighten our progress. & Every thing was soon inverted by their impof. tures*. the virtuous man was only a weak man • the man of intelligence only a dangetous man ; foi! tune was a ciime against equality ; philosophy an attempt against patriotism. It was thus that pla cing all interells in oppofitiou, lliarpeniSg everv paflion, they weic enabled to form those fatal lifts «f proscriptions, in which mere found included ,whoLj classes of citizens. O, disastrous days j days of Bit J blood, organized by despotism ! may present to the memory of nations whi tend for their freedom, as an ufeful and son, capable of preferring theifi again ble fturms which have long agitated us. however, the perfidy of oui :eticmie6, h , fame excesses ; those hprrors-they had provoked, they llill exaggerated, to pai terwards in the mod frightful-colours ; t ted them to foreign«»M«M<9,»« a natural 1 revolution ; and more ftlly to convince , v ? necessity of these cruel .•onftquenccs, t' .
