friends against friends, and the foreign lawyer joins with the merchant to carry on the ruin, not only because he has the management of the laws in the collection of debts for merchants, by their being the best clients and bring the most suits, but he rises superior even to the great merchant, and becomes his master, and master of masters, he ascends to legislate and make the very law he uses, of course he will suit himself, and make such laws as will make him a noble lord, great and powerful. Thus the lawyer not only climbs king over the merchant, but over all clients if we knuckle to his progress, and the false preacher becomes his dirty tool of delusion as well as the physician, farmer and mechanic; and the false preacher is the worst devil for delusion of all, because he suffers an aristocratical influence to even direct his sermon in favor of that aristocracy which lifts him up, and he being clothed in the capacity of a minister of God, as though preaching the gospel of Christ, pretending that God sent him as a divine preacher, when in fact he is the devil's vile hypocritical false priest, without a spark of absolute truth allowed to fall from his lips, and who preaches for anti-christ, making of inexperienced hearers biggoted tools, for lying lawyers or the devil to play with in the ravaging wars of kings against the liberty of the laboring man. And had not the king's physician protected by priviledged orders, much rather have the custom of a ripping and tearing aristocracy of foreign commerce luxury, disease, war and broken frames, where health or whole statures are strangers, that he can grow mighty great with an afflicted community at his mercy, than live in a republic of equals, since a pure democracy would afford no business where war and diseases could not exist, or does his great and forgetful foreign pride simply attach him fast to the wheel of ruin.

The aristocratical influence of Britain and her tories, who have so slily and ungratefully cloaked their views under the federal name, and so violently as to even carry with its commercial wave of destruction, of otherwise only innocent opposition of many federal lawyers, priests, physicians and merchants as well as

farmers, who would have otherwise as individually, collectively maintained with all their power, the cause of their country, but are they not shamefully deluded as well as honest farmers. Has not Britain and her tories clandestinely all the advantage of delusion but for which delusion is honesty to blame, since she makes use of secrecy against open daylight, no, for which delusion blame no friend; but converted, all dupes will forsake all tories and turn round in support of their country; and soon this country is a heavenly paradise, otherwise eternal ruin. For if a man collectively acts for the equal rights of the generation next following, that in which he lives, he will never see a king or war, because he serves his heavenly father, and those are the mediators and humble servants of man, whe acts in congress for the equal rights of posterity, and not for proud and haughty self, for if they act for posterity, they act for the liberty of the farmer and mechanic of the generation in which he lives, and not for the lawyer, preacher, physician and merchant of self, nor should congress ever act the least in favour of these professional characters, but in the capacity of the farmer, because they are the agents of the farmer, whose business it is to employ them if they please and not a speculating congress; and if the farmer will not furnish business and means for them to live in their professional capacities, let them retire to enjoy the sweet life of a wholesome farmer, as our great conquering Washington set the example, though once he was clothed in power, yet he loved the humble soil, and why not all haughty kings be humbled in the dust, there to enjoy their godly farms which are so productive as is the new world, and of all that heart can wish, and without excessive labour; should national economy of the republican devise proper direction.

The wise and real republican, is the only national economist, by whom a community can be made happy, while the indirect and profligate aristocrat is the cause of all the wasteful wars and calamity that ever affiicted man; of the two opposite presses or organs, through which are disseminated the two general policies of good and evil, which clash in community, the one is directed

from that independent principle of liberty which endeavours to evade the oppression of the other for the freedom of man; while the other is entangled under the influence of the aristocratical tyrant ocean, in the art of manufacturing dupes for wind, on which implements of compulsion or great gun ships ride, for making of lawyers and priests, lords and kings, be cause the foreign and lying editor wants to be great and mighty also, but the foul editor runs the greatest risque, for he knows not even half his danger, because he cannot easier know that truth, his grand opponent which is crawling under him like a powder plot; than a blind man can see the brilliant sun; for if he did, he' would not be dabbling over the surface with the devil's folly, until he falls with the whole mass of vain pride, of kings and nobles, to whom he had been a tool for their elevation on the devil's vanity. Nothing else so blinds the community of the soil as to build tyranny upon the seas, consequently strong holds and kings of darkness on land, as done by entangling and knuckling presses of falsehood; who grasps at every appearing system of truth, and misconstrues its glorious meaning. for shutting its graces from the right senses of the populace, for continuing them in darkness for kings to rise.

Are not the backsliding presses of falsehood eternally and shamefully helping the lawyer or his tools to legislation, the priest to magnificent palaces, and the physician to aid the merchant in poisoning down community for the sake of royal business, and the merchant to gun ships diseases and war; and helping aristocracy to all the best picking of the ocean, to the exclusion of rightful innocence, for their momentary enjoyment about the rivers, vales, villages and fattening cities of royal magnificence, and giving the sea to the devil, making of the ocean the anti-christ to the god of soil, until its cruisers devour all the cities it built up, or draw the continental soil of liberty under the oppressive tramels of its devouring fury, until all continental men except a few noble lords of the British islands, are converted into slaves of merchandize, for the devil to play with, for the want of farmers patriot'

ism in the field of continental glory, independent from the influence of the sea of aristocracy.

The foreign influence of the sea-faring aristocratis the devil, but mechanics equally dispersed among the continental farmers, furnish all men, all that heart can wish, for the freedom of the seas as well as of the soil; that when the farmers government shall enact an embargo for withholding their bread stuff from the ty-. rant of the ocean of good. Whenever any there may be, and the continental people unite hand in hand, firmly to say no food of the continent shall go to feed the sea-faring tyrant of avarice, who shall attempt to enslave the labouring farmer and mechanic, into merchandizes; in which case an embargo will hurt none but the breaking merchant, for the farmers are independent when mechanics are every where, dispersed among them.

No greater or more holy war was never waged against the aristocracy of the sea, than an obeyed embargo of the two continents, for the tyrant sea has then no food, for the serpent of avarice to feed upon. But aristocrats and fools could not bear the restrictive systems of the two continents in 1807, because merchants were breaking, Britain falling, and the tyrant of the sea banishing, and the freedom of the farmers and mechanics of the continents humbling down oppressive kings of commercial ruin, but New-England and Europe must knuckle to the wave of destruction, instead of uniting the soil against the tyrant sea, of eternal misery under the British yoke of all who navigate and fish within his majesty's sea, for all not independent upon the continents from the mercy of Britain, the seas are to be bound down under the British commercial yoke; not only the minor nations of Europe, but even the great Russia and China are all to share British maritime fate, when continental patriotism ceases to be, when the sovereign station of not only the great Alexander of Russia, but all the European sovereigns will be dethroned and filled with just such aristocracy as the British sea-faring cruisers pleases to substitute, when in a few years we may all wish for the reinstated:

great Nepoleon, even the great Nepoleon look round this dreadful world and learn.

The following extracts from Vattel's law of na- ́ ́ tions, page 187, chapter 23, shows our right to the sea, where it says, and which has been sanctioned by all politicians,

pos

"That the open sea which consists in mavigation"and fishing, is innocent and inexhaustible, that is he' "who navigates or fishes in it, does no injury to any "one, and that the sea in these two respects is suffi"cient for all mankind, and not in its nature to be "sessed; nobody being able to settle there so as to "hinder others from passing. Nature does not give "to man a right of approbating to himself, things that "may be innocently used, and that are inexhaustible " and sufficient for all; in which people may sail and "fish without the least prejudice to any person what"soever, and without putting any other people in dan66 ger. No nation has then a right to lay claim to the " open sea or attribute the use of it to itself, to the ex❝clusion of others. The nation who attempts to ex"clude another from that advantage, does it an injury, "and gives a sufficient cause for war, nature author"izing a nation to repel an injury, that is to make use "of force against whoever would deprive it of its "rights, that a nation which without a title, would ar"rogate to itself an exclusive right to the sea, and sup"port it by force, does an injury to all nations whose "common right it violates, and all are at liberty to rise "up against it, in order to repress such an attempt. "Nations have the greatest interest in causing the law "of nations, which is the basis of their tranquility, to "be universally respected. If any one openly tramples it under foot, all may and ought to rise up "against him, and by uniting their forces to chastise "the common enemy, they will discharge their duty "towards themselves, and towards human society."
