frequent collisions, obstinate and euven orned contests. The nation, prompted by ill will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy.

Sympathy for the favor ite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases wuere no real common interest exiis; and infutine into one the enmities of the i . i f . . . other, betrays the former into a participation into the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducements or justification. It ltads to concessions to the favorite nttion of privileges dented toothers, which is apt to injure the na tjon making the concession: by unneces j sarily parting with what ought to be rej tained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will, j and a disposition to retaliate, in the parlies froin whom equal ori vileces are w ith held; end il gives to ambitious, corrupt' ed, or deluded citizens (whodevote them 8eiTe8 to the favorite nation) facility to betray, or sacrifice the iutcrest of their own country, without odium; soinetioies even their popularity; gilding with the appearance of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable defference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for pudlic go d, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, cortuptiuti or infatuation. As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable way.-t surh attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened ond independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the art of seduction, to mislead public Opinion, to influence or awe the public council! Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and powerful nation, dooms the former lo bo the satellite of the 'atter. Against the insiduous wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizen) tho jealoussy of a free people ought to beeonsfanfy awake; ince history end experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican Government. Hut that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, infctead ol a defence against it. Excessive partiali'y for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause thoss whom they actuate to see danger only on and serve to veil, and even to second, the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become sus peeled and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interest. The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfct good faith. Here let us slop. Europe has a set of primary interests, which y us have none, or a very remote re'ation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, ihe causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes ol her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities. Our detached nnd distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people un der an efficient Government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance: when we way take such an attitude a will cause the neutrality may at any lim resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected; when beligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hasard the giving ut provocation; when we may choose peace or w ar, na our interest, guideded by justsce, shall council!
