Some account of the discovery oj' Jtmerica
and its settlement , connected rbith a short }
sketch of events that have occurred eincc.
[COKTINUED.1 V
^ Having presented my readers "with a
very Dnef retrospect or the settlement
and struggles of our country, permit rot
to Invite their attention to a pio^rcTsive
view of its politics, an enumeration of
some of those evtfs which have been de
structive to other governments, recur to
?he unjust measures of the rival belli- i
ge rants, and mild policy of the Unil*d :
States.
Iii oars as well as most other govern
ments, there hasexisjtedfromitscommence
roent two parties, both of which profess an
equal attachment to its constitution, but
wish to adopt diJlVueDLjnfcasjires for its
perpetuation. What are the real wishes
of the most ambitious leaders of either
party, it will be impossible to decide.
Conclusions, predicated upon such facts as
the pubhek are In possession of, vary with
the inclination of different persons reason*
j. ing upon the same subject. In shatters ol
political speculation, involving so much
feeling, it would be highly presumptuous
in an individual to offer any decided opin
ion ; and to widen the . breach between
partizans of the present day, would be
i^imi^al to our best interests. 1 beg leave
merely to state* therefore, that party dpi
rit at the commencement of our republic^
was disarmed *>f its terrors* and every
member of the community wi* devoted to
the cause of hta oouniry. _ But uiitciHu
nately, after Hie conclusion of our revolu
tionary struggle, * hen all hands- ihould
have engaged in the coramDn task of ce
menting union and promoting general
welfare, dissert tions became moie obvi
i .
oui, and a struggle for powef ensued, which
1 tevtnruated favourably to federalism.?
} Deeming the -mUftia too unsubstantial for
,:the purpose of repelling invasion, protect*
ing defenceless frontiers, and quelling in
surrections, should they tever'ocfcuri it wai J
thought most advisable to create a stand* |
W* - 1
in^army, which Would be always ready.
* Finding it nccesoary for the support of tlmt
army to impose additional taxes, recourse
was had to a sy4te'm? ftgamst which we had
fought and bled. Our citizens submitted to
It reluctantly ; and the democratic part)1;
? wNtj*1 astonishing rapidity.
Spurring tie idef of cringing to, the old
Britaipc system and fearing very Justly the
Oona*que1?ccs of" a large standing army
ever mutinous and reacjy to level the axe
of pojer at the tree of liberty, they ei
fccte<f a change in administration. An abo*
lition of the financial measures of their ad
^[1** consequently followed, and the dc
of <hhp country w*s?gain in trusted to
jgrous patriotic atuf hardy yeomanry , -
Thlo smile of complaisance sat upon the I
brow of every advocate for reform. " rro^J
perity r ewai ded her sons with stueaptt oTI
opulence? Mechanic industry toiled In every
corner. Our commerce spread Jfer sails to
the breezes of every clime, conducted out
vessels into every harbour, and wafted our
treasures upon the bosom of etery ocean,
Literature diffused her enlivening beams,
dispelled the gloom of ignorance which
<tualifiea freemen for slavery, and blew in
to our fouls a much greater blast of free
lom. To indulge however in these pleas
ng reflections without guarding against
'he worst, would be to expose ourselves
to the wide yawning pulph, which has swal
Jowtrd the most powerful aiyf flourishing
rrpullkks that ever esistgjfc h "wofuld be
. f ~ * ? T* ? : ' j
little short of abandoning ourselves to a
? venality which has ever- been premonitory
uf their subversion; PoTuical philosophy
lays it down< as an inconicstible and fun- i
damenty makim, ihivt the greatest states of J
antiquity bwe their ruin to vices already,, i
creeping amongst us. These are luxury -j
cffcIBinacy inteslin#* divisinw. vnlnpt.ifrfiH.
4*es? and au indifference to laws.
Historyjrom the very origin of jfltn-,
kind, confirms the truth of <
nervations. tie therefore, who conceals ,
this fad from political motives, deserves
' *s ^ i m s "* "*
not the name of patriot* Your smiles
arc sought by him for sinuter purposes. \\
? ' 'luis my duty, and i*4^ the duty ^
of every friend to his cbunty, to proclaim i
this truth in the voice of thunder if posai- ^
bje, to- his deluded fellow citizens- It !
is much easier to guard against their j
pernicious tendency, than to abrogate
them after their final introduction. Should
you require sny additional proofs of the
justice of thfc^alutury admonition, 1 would '
' ^ ? . ? - - ? - ? 1 * *' ? ? ^ ? ? ? ?
invite your attention to the calamitous fate
of Carthage, Rome, Thebes, and Athens.
Should you require further demonstrations
of an equally cogent character, turn your ;
eyes to Egypt's sandy plains and ruined
monuments of antiquity. Let the eye of
contemplation *>ar above the shattered
4 ? 1 * ' 7 V ^ ^
walls of Balbec, Palmyra and Memphis*
Awake at the sound of mutability in na* jj
tional government, and oppose the gigantic
strides of fell orruption? rally round the
standard of your country; beat off the in*
tidious foe, and resolve to transmit to pos
terity, a government tinimpartd* by the
causes which have operated the de|trnc
tibn <JM>er%. f r*.
To an enlightened ffllbltek it wffl )
necessary to apologize for the itttroduction
of misapplied principles in religion* as
one of the many causes that may be made
the instrument by which an unsuspecting
people may be enslaved.* This position is
rendered incontrovei tible by the view which
I have takfen of the oppressive authority of
the hierarchy of England, that drove our
an9esters from the land* of their hlrih.
The miubievofit influence of sucli abomi
nable and sacrilegious modes of oppression,
has been felt at 6ne time or other in 6ve ry
