the enemy, in order to enjoy a promised or expected office; and these are fifty times worse than the thief, while a dupe or federal follower is not in the least to blame. It therefore cannot be possible that the leaders of the federal party are neutrals, for they are certainly engaged, either for their own nation, or the enemy; therefore beware of that which is in the grass; they are not active, with the will of the majority of the elective franchise of the same body, to which they are members, because they condemn that party, fifty times worse,than they do the British party; that is to say, they act directly against their own vote and government, and for the enemies; so they don't straddle the fence, but are tories, and if they stand neutral among us, they certainly act for the enemy; because that neutrality withholds from action the party in favor of their own government and all the means of prosecuting energy, while the enemy can have full swing. Whereas, was the federal party all hands of them on the British islands,they and their mother all together, could never conquer the remaining democrats. Britain has fifty times more the advantage of us, by her favorite gang mingled among us than though they were not here. If the whole population of Britain, together with John Bull, nobles, lords, and his whole gang of paupers, were also mingled among us, her advantage over us would still be proportionably greater; for the devil has then certainly got us, Madison, democrats, government and all, all would then be under the yokes. All Britain fistly wants is to have masters among us, to annually gather her a hundred million tax from our laboring productions, for the maintainance of her conjured up society of whores, paupers and powerful, for reducing us to paupers also. Britain wants among us, of cunning, clandestine ropes enough to hold all the money-strings, guns and military of our country, from acting against her; also her babbling orators on the floor of our councils, for frustration, and kidnapping aristocratie judges and officers, at the head of our militia and courts, for keeping us asleep, till we have slept into slavery, then to take here and there a royal office under ber secret crown of serpentine commissions, to open the door of her commer

cial robbery to all our ports for the merchandising and exportation of our congress, to be cut and dried and hung up in their royal George's palace. All Britain wants of us, for the first few years, is to sleep in our chimney corners without guns, in the arms of her secret snake of leading federalism; till their hypocritical arins of apparent neutrality, become wholly wrested from us, and they be our masters; till patriotism is a stranger, then with her Wellington army plunge us by whole states, and their battallions, together, already raised as in Connecticut, directly into the arms of our returning legitimate George the III; as whole battallions deserted Napoleon, in the time of action, because held under hearts of opposite politics.

Is it not asto

nishing, that the federal leaders are so much at war, and yet fighting no body who are their enemies? unless it is some secret unseen something; Bonaparte they have done whipping; they must be poor neglected creatures, engaged in war without a sign of an antagonist; though they fret, and puff, and bellow, at agricultural democracy, and her wicked war, and call it the most unjust war, that ever engaged man, because it threatens liberty to the poor, and downfal to their great selves and kings, that poor man's greatest enciny, to become their equals or weak like tories of the revolution; besides democracy is so dangerous to their majesty's commercial dominion over Canada, over the fishery, over the lakes, over Louisiana and New-Eng land, and to British commerce all over, to foul federal leaders generally of Columbia, and even to their so much loved and lamented George the third, and all his dreadful corruption.

Would not the tories, have rejoiced at the downful of Louis the sixteenth, could it have only happened before he had helped us to our revolution; rather than he should have so much fought with Washington, against their beloved majesty Dreadful mourners, delightful rejoicers! Federal leaders, act as though they have a mighty choice in the kings of Europe, as fools have in dog fights; rejoice for Bonaparte's fall, and mourn for the fall of Louis the sixteenth. What difference does it make to us, what king rules France,

whether Bonaparte, Louis sixteenth or eighteenth, if he is not under British commercial direction? But it makes a great difference, with enemies to liberty, for to flock where commercial power balances, was always the devil's delight.

The federal leaders would as soon rejoice to see Madison torn from his presidential chair, by British force, as they rejoice at the dethronement of Bonaparte. And would they not make every bell ring and every hand clap, to see their good old legitimate king George return his sweet dominion over these states? As they rejoice at his success in Europe, and the return of a French king of entirely another blood, they certainly would rejoice for the return of their own dear English blood George. Would not they rejoice far more for the return of George, than an elected federal president, least the office would not be so permanent as one enforced by their lovely allies, who always enforce kings up-on the throne, that federal leaders can be noble lords and fixed governors. I repeat, would not the federal leaders rejoice to behold the British arms, tear from the seat of our government, our elected president and council? Indeed they would, for they were even willing to take up their own arms, with which threatened to oppose the authority of their own elective government, because congress was about to bring governor Chittenden of Vermont, to justice for misdemeanor. did rebellions Massachusetts do but show their toryism as they have before and since? What can the republican officers do? Must they jump out of office before their terms expire, that tories can jump in by the sword? How are they to keep order by law, if rebellion is to be enforced by the new world's British sword? Oh serpent! when the cloven foot is fairly seen by all, I think Strong and Chittenden's proselytes, will hatch and leave the terrapin, their bills already begin to peep from the shell.

What

But the British whore, king, golden palace, paupers and powerful, are fighting the cause of God, for the liberties of the world, say federal leaders, the only left naval gallies for the defence of the christian faith; and Bonaparte who ripped and tore asunder the damnable'

hypocritical pope, defender of the faith and the devil, was fighting for bondage. No wonder he was fighting: in the cause of the devil; let the devil tell his own story. If Bonaparte was fighting for the liberty of the seas, he was fighting for the liberty of the Columbian farmer, for that reason let him fight as did Louis sixteenth. Who knows in America, but what Bonaparte was an engaged implement of God, for the freedom of the seas, that the Columbians could erect their inde- . pendent freedom, out of the reach entire of British seafaring danger, which the Columbians have at last got to do, or lose it. Why was Louis the sixteeth and our beloved Washington, called tyrants at the revolution, by the tories of Britain? Which lesson was set for de-. lusion in America by the nobles of Britain, who say Bonaparte was a dreadful tyrant; was Bonaparte a greater tyrant than the British king and nobles, and was he a fiftieth part so dangerous to America as Britain, for the want of naval means. Bonaparte was a tyrant to kings and their nobility, this is true; and: possibly God wanted a tyrant to scourge from the earth the seafaring tyrant king and nobles of ruinous op-. pression. Supposing Bonaparte had conquered all Eu-. rope, the bustle would have caused a dispersion of the British great guns and navy of serpentine danger, from the controul of an inaccessible island, and throw the government of the seas into the power and controul of continental numbers, when numbers could govern the seas with freedom, instead of the few of an island, beyond the reach of the great people of the world, to sink under the few in slavery. Possibly an elective chief could not stay upon the throne of deluded Europe;: where kings and ignorant slaves are thick, and commercial delusion successful; did not Bonaparte dethrone. kings and liberate slaves from the oppressive arms of commercial luxurious tipplers: one of lord Welling-ton's own generals, when invading France, says in a letter to Lord Wellington, that he never saw property so remarkably subdivided, the people uncontaminated; and that he had not seen a beggar in all his travels therein. Bonaparte, we all agree, was a tyrant, as most men are when beyond the power of removal by the

votes of the people; but had Bonaparte conquered all the states of Europe, as Washington had ours at the revolution, possibly he would have used his influence to set the people free, as Washington did; at any rate if he had conquered Europe, and would not willingly set the people free, his territory would be so large that he could not remain king, or emperor over them a moment, no easier than Alexander could over the world, or the like great body of people. It is as impossible for an usurper to hold the throne of a great body of united people just conquered, as it is for a hypocrite to be a christian, or a rogue go unpunished; and which are the greatest hypocrites and rogues of oppression, the British naval power close in our doors, or distant Bona-parte of France without a navy? Look at the paupers of Britain, and then at the equals of France, had Bena parte ought to have been conquered, till the ocean and British paupers were set free. When that was the case a fiftieth part of the force could then conquer the French free from Bonaparte, than was allied against him, to ravage France back to inaction and sleep under their Bourbon oppression. It is impossible for the world to be conquered, but to give freedom to the paupers who are under the bondage of kings, and how could Bonaparte, after he had conquered all the kings of Europe, stay upon the throne of France easier than other kings could stay, and surely one king is less than twenty; and how could Bonaparte stay upon his throne, against the will of the people; when all the great armies of eight of the European kingly nations, with their kings all clubbed together, could not keep Louis the sixteenth upon the throne; a hundred and four millions of the people of kingly Europe, engaged against only twenty five millions of free Frenchmen, could never stop the French revolution, who had not a single ally. Against the French were engaged the states of Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, the German states, Holland, Prussia, Russia and England, in the year 1792, all at once pour-. ed their dark powers of iniquity over the enlightening revolution of France, though situated close in the door of devil's bondage, they could never stop it, nor can all the powers of darkness prevent Columbia's brilliant
