the word déclaration ? it is order, not confusion, public notice, not secret deception, but which gives all the people a chance to seek and spy out their hidden enenies, the concealed hypocrite, the lion's emissary.

But the deluded thinks peace is liberty; that if they was no more in arms than the African Negro slaves, they would be free in peace, not dreaming that they would be slaves in peace, like negroes, and that a dangerous king's peace is a hundred times more dangerous than war; for nothing else than the common people sleeping in peace, under yokes of danger, makes the slaves of the world; the king for keeping his common subjects from rising up, and dethroning his high and mighty royal self, as noble servant wants his beloved subjects to be still in slavery..

The declaring that war existed between us and Britain, placed us in arms, and experience in war, that we may sooner or later resist the dreadful commercial enticements, of royalty, and slavery and tyranny, from the lion of surrounding danger on all our sides. How can we sleep not in arms, when we are surrounded with wolves of British danger? Were we not in a declared state of war at this moment, we should be like a man without a club, surrounded with robbery.

Can the deluded think that declaring war, makes the whigs of Britain hate us, no, but it makes them love us. Be in arms, and even the British tories respect you; but if you are at their mercy they will devour you. Oh deluded dupes, get your gun, and Britain will be your best friend; or you will be her slave and her greatest enemy, and her noble lords will no more respect you, than they respect their paupers and beggars at home, on their own Island.

A nation that can defend itself is a respectable nation, nations are like so many persons, if the poor can defend themselves against the rich, the rich respects the poor, but the poor knuckling to the rich is like a divided nation knuckling to their enemy; divided because one part of the people become cowards, dupes or devils; will be dupes and fools, for the sake of peace, had rather knuckle and be slaves to devils, than hear of war. Be proud, knuckle and go along; but the

tories trial at the revolution, proved they had gone to shame, and would have gone to slavery, had not the agricultural democrats put forth the revolutionary sword, and the declaration of July the fourth, against the aristocrats of foreign commerce.

And the deluded will have it too, that our war is dreadful expensive, so it is, and what makes it so, but the same that was the cause of it, the deluded and devils, pulling us astray, to rebellion and parties, that pushed us forward, into war, for obedience and union, back to our duty. But it is an unjust and wicked war say they, as though Great Britain the devil at the revolution, has now turned God, fighting the glorious cause of liberty in a foreign land, never her own, with her same king and monarchy, which fought Washington on the same Canady ground, and yet the deluded will extol Washington, while their leaders for deluding them, will rejoice for British success on both continents, in order that their followers should love the king; when any fool may know, that her success in Europe, is success against us. Those who rejoice for the increase of British power, rejoice at the decrease of our own; otherwise men are inconsistent; and those who rejoice with devils are deluded. What else makes our war wicked and unjust, than human say so? Deluded, how do you know, it is not the holy war of God, but great some body said so, and so they said of the revolution, but that democratic war, turned out to be the holy war of God; and if that same great royal somebody, had said this war was a holy war, then this would have been a holy war, if saying so proves it.

This war is not unjust nor wicked; but it is one of the most holy, righteous, necessary and unavoidable. declarations of the people, unitedly to resist the vengeance of one of the most oppressive kingly wars, already begun by one of the most haughty and powerful aristocratical mothers, the world ever witnessed. Neve er was a declared war of conquering resistance, to so dreadful growing oppression, more necessary and unavoidable than the one in which we were forced to embark, since the struggling days of the Israelites. Oh what a cloud of human power and darkness, has gath

ered under one sea faring serpent's head! what an awful gang of aristocratical rogues of oppression, have clubbed together against the liberty of man! Oh, this dreadful dark day; how black the cloud, now rising over the wide wave, carrying before it all the collected corruption of an old world of slavery and darkness; to crush the only left republican assylum, the only left new world of glory.

This war on our part, is no more unjust and wicked, against the incendiaries and robbing rogues of Europe, who threaten our eternal ruin; than it is wicked and unjust, for a sheriff aided by the militia, to arrest a gang of sly incendiaries and robbers, who are determined to set fire to a great city, for the sake of plundering the innocent on its ruins. The British aristoc racy of the tories and their dupes, who are nominally the majority of the British rebellious parliamentary will, and in North America really the minority of corruption working in that rebellicus will for recolonization; whilst eastern majority and western minority of tories and their dupes, put together, makes a nominal majority of corruption, clandestinely by hypocritical war, hidden behind the melodious sound of peace; jum bling the two nations together, working the corruption of mother blood, so prone to the natural man, to backslide and partake of that original sin, of corrupt reco lonization, which Washington's reformation so much checked-making of the tories and their deluded followers of both countries, an arm linking majority over the elective voice of the revolting states; that by delu sion accompanying the kingly sword of darkness, without regard to the boundary of the ocean, or line of Canada, or New-England line, or any other line between states, between cities and farmers, between speculators & their deluded slavish followers, or between the two great parties of North-America, and their Columbian and British army; at last to clash for the victory of light, over darkness; for eventual victory over the dark ranks of ignorant democratic slaves of Britain; by the more informed democrats of Washington's freedom, And no other devils, gave the lesson of wicked war on our part, wicked to their deluded, than the tories of

both Britain and America. And who is this war wicked to, but the deluded innocents, who array themselves under the kingly ranks of roguish masters, there to be slaughtered for the sake of bringing rogues to justice? then turn round dupes, and join in the cause of your God, and the war will be righteous as the light of liear

en.

In this war, one party or the other, is engaged in the cause of the devil; both cannot be godly parties, and it is impossible for both to be opposed to Britain, and at the same time be in opposition to each other, in a cause wherein the concerns of all the world are engaged, and where no two kings are engaged in opposi tion to each other; unless the British king is engaged for God in opposition to our divine king; but the people are against kings, and kings against the people, liberty against bondage, and bondage against liberty. Nor was a civil king, ever engaged for the good cause of the people, and for himself knowingly, for if he was, he would drop from his throne, like good Louis the 16th, who accidentally engaged at our revolution, for the good people of France, as well as for us Columbians, and brought on the revolution of both continents; though he did not know it, until he found Washington to be his enemy. But the European knot, of endarkening rivalship of king's pride and strife, must some where burst, from the gloome of the devil's swelling extreme. Thus poor Louis, while he simply thought he was getting what Britain lost, did not dream that he was engaged in the great cause of unfurling the millennium of liberty, and cheating himself out of his throne, and palace, made France shake the bush of the new world; out of which Washington caught the bird of liberty, which has ever since been growing up to the strong eagle of Columbia; which in return, as one good turn deserves another; shook Frenchmen free, and poor Louis, though he was ignorant, or was willing to die for sinners, happened once to do good, by fighting in the good cause of God and his people, against himself, that great devil self destroyer, to his own overthrow.

And now if George the third, and his American snake, which so slily crawls in the federal name; would

N

follow the good examples of a Louis, so brave in ignorant palace at home, three thousand miles from danger, though old Johnny might lose his shattered head, from the scaffold; yet he might be sure to save his soul in heaven, for God will have mercy on the peace makers of glorious freedom.

To which of the great parties of the world, engag od in the great question of liberty and slavery, does the federal leaders belong? How is this question decided, when it is impossible for neutrality to exist, among active humans, since the power of God and the devil are at war for liberty and slavery, before the great bar of the world, settling this question; shall civil kings forever reign in an American, as in a Europeoan hell? or shall the millennium of equal rights, extend to all, for the freedom and glory of man. Can this pretended federal party, so extensively mingled with another party, directly opposite in the same country; where each others dearest interest and affections are pending at the dangerous grasp, of each others fury; to fall upon each others domestic swords of divided darkness; affectionate friends butchering cach other in blood and slaughter, be engaged for God: how are the sleeping leaders of federalism, fighting for liberty? did any person ever see even two dogs fight, having an interest in favour of one of them, that would not take an active part for the success of the one, which his prejudice was in favour of. If this little notion of dog war can excite human beings, to rejoice and to take an active part, certainly a whole nation of humans, wherein themselves are engaged, instead of dogs, and their very lives and property at stake, must take an active part, some where to secure their popularity; to straddle the fence, it is as inconsistent, as to suppose a corpse to be a live man; a man looks like a fool, who stands inactive in a case, wherein his own property is at stake, for he is either deluded and knows nothing of his danger, or he is sure to be king, or sure to enjoy a king's office, otherwise he is inconsistent to himself. The federal leaders are not quite like the partaker, who is as bad as the thief, unless they are actually aristocrats, acting behind the curtain of their own country, and for
