aware, Maryland, N. Carolina, S. Cardina, C'cere;ia, Kentucky, 'ltnncssee and Ohio, their partialities in fivor of nnv particular inen or section of this union thry tru-.t has no influence amount them ; for the public good cught to be the polar star f every freeman, and cordiality outfit to be nourished ty the people on all important Measures in a free jTovernmcnt. For it is the skill and cnura-e of republicans, aided with a c:ncert that al ways ourht to unite them, like a band of brothers, that makes them strong ; for we sec them, when numerically weak, often defeating overcrow n armies of slaves and mercenaries, and baffling the intrigues ot t'.ie rreatest potentates. ft seems as though the princes ri the European continent have a disposition to bind the political as well as the religious tenets of mankind in fetters ; so far at lenst as thru nri
found within the grap of the Holy Alliance, (as t n styled.) The proceedings of' the C ongress at Verona, the movements of their military f trees both by sea and land, evince their object and their ambition. Dues it not then behove all republics and protestant princes too, to be cautious, lest their political and religious privileges be snatched from them by this Trinity of casuists. Let European bigots and slaves enjoy the praise of their pompous priests and logei headed legitimate princes, and welcome, but e entreat them to rease disturbing the peace an J tranquility of other nations, who are more liberal, and as luminous and brave as they If my neighbor choose to be a I'rn-.nin... h Jew, a monk, or a mussulman, let hirr. enjoy .h opinion, his religion doe me no injury, if he is an honest man he makes a iood ciMTen. If a nation choose a despoil or a- aristocratic or a republican form of government, it is entitled to iti election, fur the voice of ihe people is the voice of God :' again it is a Christian duty to 'u t every man be cor.inced in his own Toind;' yet those legitimate Princes and Holy Fathers of Eurone insist, that the
whole world ought to be foir.ed to bow to
their particular altar, Hut power naturally generates tyrants : whirh the American sages at the fonnatiun cflhis republic were ful
ly apprised of; nence the frame ot the con-
j stitution of our government is of a very dif-
r ...
icrer.t cast to the government of Great JJnt. ain, the parent of the American .states. Still the Br itish govertirnent has an affinity to republic. principles; thotidi having been
iuimi-u in me icign cr : uperititioti, we con-.
ceiveit is too absolute. The convention that forrnel our r-n.fj..,t.if,tl considered m.tn. not a.i w'iat Jie ought to be, hur. i ..i) ,cfiv by the lh section of the 1st article of that sacred instrument we find, that ' no title of nobility shall be granted by the U. States.' There h an axiom in tlie Holy writ that says do unto others, as you would that they should do unto you.' This generous sentiment is also supported by our constitution ; see the 3d section ef the fth article, it is there written that ' no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the I T. S.' This liberal ss siem of government has now existed near half a century, and its prosperity is unparalleled. Still we have not escaped domestic incendiaries, n-r forei;-;:. invaders ; nor is it but lately that our unidious enemies have been convinced that cur government, alone, could stand the shock of war. Verily a republic is naturall mild and peaceable, it is not to be led into a war to gratify the caprice of an individual,- nothing in fact can provoke it to war hut abuse, and then hostility it its last resort. The friend'y intercourse t! at existed between France and this republic, awakened the l-'i '.-!irh people from a political stupor; thh caused a general alarm amongst the Iiur(-pan princes ; a great combination was formed to extinguish ihe htfit of truth and reason ; I ranee was crushed ; still some sparks of the f,aroe had spread and caught amongst .her neighbors ; and all must see, that this light originated in this republic, and every impartial -.ye must sec that truth and correct principles will ever be on its side. Hence this monstrous league and thi din of arms ; for when reason refuse to support the standard of tyranny force is substituted in
lieu of it. Under these considerations it appears as though bo'h reli'min and political fi t. dctn are cxposi d o danger, for this crusade seems to be pointed against all who the Holv Alliance may please to denounce as political or religious' heretics ; r why attack Spain while she remains a member of th good old Roman Catholic Church. What ran we eypect then, should we come within their Holy Hug? Shall we not, at least be compelled to join their Church, pay all expenses of the. war which they r.ay nnpr; vhedlv be pleased t' wage against us, and receive an emperor or a kin.; to n.i -vcr us; but whether this ruler "ill """ hcnr-.-. the Atlantic from sou.e 1. gitimate .tork m.Jrcpe, er wheher we shall be indi.lr;id v,,ti a descendant of Powh.itau, or with the c.U.n i t'-i of the itict i oniic.ioi's r-.""Ltr.i A '.J '-
Hartford Convention for cur emperor or kiiu', time only can tell. We arc rejoiced that an Imperial government is not pleasing to the people of Mexico, because their emperor seemed to patronize both religious and political tyranny, and would have a suitable instrument for the czar cf Russi3. The will of the people, if enlightened ought at all places be the supreme law of the land. We now have a ihoi-.c aT.ongst 1 3,(;G3:n of the people for our Chief Magistrate ; and as to religion we excel the Europeans far more or. that score than thry do is in etiquette. Truly vt have no golden crowns srt with diamonds and placed en blockheads here, for the admiration of folly. Our crowns are composed cf intellectual light and ornamented with patriotism and philanthropy; and instead of one state church, we have dozens of them, which afford loom for argument and eloquence ; and yet to the surprise of those Europeans, we have no conflicts between any of our churches and the rulers of the state ; every church is equally protected by our laws, and each sect cheerfully contributes its portion to tne Kupport ot the republic ; excepting a fe' whose, religion tenets forbid shedding of human blood, yet these are good and useful citir.ens ; sober, moral and industrious men, and their property or fi tends supplies substitutes in their places military si r vice, when need requires it. It is therefor e wise to be charitable. It is our union, industry and systematic order, cherished by the blessings c f Providence that will ever shield us from tyrants, We omdat to be can-1 d. to keep equivocal arid dishonest m n out ot office and evade popular perplexities. Hence some, plan ought now to be devised, to find the two men most capable and most acceptable to an unbiassed majority of , our good i( i:.ens for the next F resident and Vice President of these United States. We w ish for tried end dauntless patriot1', men of
deliberation, vet prompt in execution, to be
at the helm of our government. Andrew Jackson and i)n Wit Clinton stood firm during the reign of terror in ?'J and UK):). Their
exertions at New Orleans and New York show that thev acted an am.'d? part in de
fending our country during the late war. Believing therefore, that they are undeviating republicans and statesmen too, by this
