When from necessity or principles of equal 1
justice, a man takes the limits, although it i
may he very inconvenient and unpleasant to
him, it is no disgrace. It is a punishment,
but no disgrace. On the contrary, r»e who
.sutlers the privation of his liberty, for the
sake of cqvial and exact justice, performs
an act highly honorable and praiseworthy.
It may not be thought impertinent to our
subject to recur to the examples of former
times, of the liberality or severity of the
laws for debtors. The Roman plebians,
after the Consulate of Valerius, dsserted
their cities m consequence of the insupport
able oppression of the laws for debtors, im.
posed by the Patricians. Under these
laws, if a debtor could not satisfy his cred- ,
•tor, he was dragged to prison, and be and
his whole family were reduced to slavery.
A law so severe and inhuman could not long
exin The people were invited to return
and their debts forgiven them. UnJer the
L.w* of Solon Tarquin and Valerios, the
person* of debtors were held sue.cd and
secure from arrest. It was thought sutffi.
c*rnt even in those days, when the state of
civilization required more energetic and !
rigorous law* than in ours, to Ukc all tiiut 1
a man possessed w.iiiout putting in jeopar* ;
dy h»s perw nal liberty. Osins, the b »t '
legislator mentioned m profane history, to. {
acted laws forbidding the |*er*ons of debt
ees to be arrested, Shall we oveiloofc these
examples and copy the monstrous produc
tions of Dracon, whose law* were, cm

at the same time supports the validity of .

vent debtor, is so difficult a thing, as never
to be exacted even from the wisest legis- |
i*tors—but should titlicr scale outweigh
the other it ought most ceria.uly u> be in

i «ve often the best cbailee to succeed in ub- ,
twining their object.
i’lie history of all elective governments
uttes s the truth of these remarks ; but it i
'* most forcibly exemplified in that of our
own.
A’iflf t^vclivionary war, when the
evils cr anarchy were fresh in the minds of
all, every hnnvst a«nl enlightened pi riot wis
sen msly engaged in investigating tne de-!
fecis of t!ie former s'ate of things, and de
vising the means of preventing the like ills I
in fmure. Solicitude fur the public welfare
kept party considerations at a distance— ‘
fhe demon of faction dared not raise his
head ; In; voce but transiently caught the
ear in stifled imuterings, while the voice of i
truth md reason was eagerly heard, ami at- !
tentively considered. Hence arose our ex- *
cedent constitution, and hence resulted the i
appointment of a Washing i on to admin
Uter it Places of public trust were gen
erally filled with nv n whose services enli- j
th-d them to the gratitude of their country
men. fiie nation was prosperous and hap.
pv. Bat faction, though sfifed, was not
dead; and sue availed herself of the calm ]
which succeeded, to lay the foundation of
her ruture triumph. The attention and re
•pec.t paid to the heroes who had atchicved
their countrv's independence, arid the sages
who organized its government, wane loo
flattering not to excite the envy of those
who coveted the destination, hut were whol
ly unambitious of deserving it. They imag
ined that the consideration in which the
men then in office were justly held, would
naturally attach to the office, and descend
with it to future incumbents ; and they be
gan to devise the means of iransfering to
themselves the honors and emoluments of
power. It was necessary at first to proceed
wi'.h caution. The integrity and ability of
those who then administered the govern
ment. in its various departments bail been
thoroughly tried, and the confidence of the
people in them was too firmly fixed to be
destroyed at once. They therefore confin
ed thtir first attempts to false surmises, and
groundless insinuations, until, having awa
kened the jealousy which is the usual con
comita.it of a free government, they became
emboldened to commence a more open and
direct attack. The nefarious means they
employed arc too well known to need a
minute description here. The friends of
the administration, reiving on the justice of
V mir cause, ana Drlievii.g It impossible that
the falsehoods ar.d misrcprcsr motion* of
t' cir opponentt Could hs\6|uiucli wcigl t on
t!«e minds of an enlightened communiiv,
cuoun.ed liiemrlvei with a plain tii.sa*-.
ilislird appeal to the reason of the people,
without resorting to any other meusui*z to
counter >ec the excitement which had been
produced in the public mind, by art ini and
in odious practices on their p us um The
'cons* quence was natural. h Itealtsis, who
h.*d established the Constitution, winch ce
mented the Utuon sod sealed the indepen
dence of the Slstrs, who had conducted
tlte nation through scenes of tinparallellcd
diiftcolty to tlie summit of prosperity ami
happiness, were obliged, by the voice of
an infatuated and deluded |H?ople, to make
room for men who assumed the specious
name ol Republicant, the belter to disguise
their real views, men whose only object
was the gratification of their ambition, re
gardless of the nu-ant which they must ad
opt to produce so violent ami bane fill a rev
olution in the puhhc sentiment, wholly' in
different to the effects of the whi-lwind
their incantations should raise.
Good men lamented the change, and be
gan to see the necessity of placing the truth
more forcibly before the ey es of the people,
and endeavoring to dissipate the fatal delu
sion into which so large a portion of their
fellow citizens had l>een led. In propor
tion as they progressed in developing the
designs and practices of the faction, and *s
the people began to perceive that the out
cry' raised by the democrats was only an
artifice to procure to themselves the direc
tion of the government, the disposal of olfi
ces, and to destroy the well earned reputa
tion of the men to whom a grateful nation
had once judiciously committed thr man
igement. <>f her concerns ; so r .se the t xei -
tions of democracy to countervail the force
>f the truth, ami perpetuate the influence
acquired by reiterated deceit ami falsehood
Every tool w.,s put in requisition , every en
gine Was set m m >liuu, to secure tlie pos
session or the ill gotten popularity <>f the
leaders of the party. The truths whicti -.tir
'd h mii n the i tcc, and tinea cued o ovc*
whelm llieiii with shame, were boldly ami
imondently confronted as faltehnodg, and
“ fc'ic' ,ii lie*” “ Federal lies” resounded
from tiie throats of the hirelings of fact ion,
whenever their intrigues were exposed to
tlie light; The ears of the ignorant weiv
amused with the Sounds of "liberty cf equal
ity they were flittered with fulsome
compliments on their superior knowledge
and discernment. The ambitions were er
courageu witi. trie nope or ooiamiug .< snare
of tike loaves and fishes, which were liberally
promised. Apostates from federal princi
ples were covered with a profusion of car
esses ; they were quickly promoted to of
fice ; their success held out as a lure to in
duce othes to follow their example.
Measures so artfully contrived and in
dustriously pursued could hardly fail of pro
ducing their intended eflcct, for a season,
at least ; arid accordingly innovation and
revolution swept like a torrent, all before it.
For eight years we have witnessed the
progress of an administration which rose to
power, and supported its influence and au
thority bv means like these : And to what
has it led us ? Let our impoverished treas
ury, our ruined commerce, our long list of
bankruptcies, our increased court dockets,
the distresses of our farmers, our starving
mechani s and labmers,our seamen dtiven
into formgu service, answer the question.

film t n Bug-li ea r !
A great long writer in the Argus of
the 18th inst. who has spread his elab
orate fioini-no-fioint speech, over four
and a half columns, pretends to hold
our legislature up to public execration
for passing an aci, at their last June
session, defining the lights of voters :
and why he does it, is to be accounted
for in party views only. As a citizen
of the Commonwealth, (as well as his
'squire xhift, stiled in the Argus, 44 Re
fiubiicun,") l do most ardently beseech
my fellow-citizens to examine and
* ^
weigh the acts of our u fkdk.kal” lt-i
gislators ; and, when they have leisure,!
'lew tor a moment the most wise, re
publican, and liberal acts of our drmoc
rwte legislatoi s. The contrast will in
voluntarily,—spontaneously,**—con
vince them who are IVbigs and who are
Topics ; and the Argus, with its goose
quill dashers, would find but a sorry
set of readers.
1 am confident—but let others judge'
for themselves—that the 4 Republican*
is as wild in his discourse, as a Hanove
rian would be in the pulpit of St. Ste
phen?, in London.—If I am wrong, I
wish to be corrected : 1 his new law ,
does nor in any way require a citizen to
pay ONE CEN T MORE to qualify
him to xwte than the old laws did. Its
requisitions, which are new, are these,1
1st, Certain town officers to be voted
lor by ballot—2nd, No person shall be
entitled to vote or act unless he shall
I have, within two years next preceding
i the meeting, (or collector’s list) paid
; the sum, to the collector, which by the
! former laws, being taxed, intitlcd him
to vote. This is facilitating the task of1
' assessors, making the way of town of
ficer* plain, and exacting from the cit
izen nothing but justice. If Mr. Re»
publican, or Mr. Ague us, can make a
| ny tiling more than this, out of i!.h»
i law, that has a tendency to bring the
country into 44 fcdetal lordships,** let
| them by all means warn the people of
- it : but they would save much credit'
to themselves, (if they have any now,) |
to conduct with some decency and pro
priety. But 1 do not ftel contented to
have such vile misrepresentations and
inflaming declamations, spread among
people who have not the means them
selves of combatting them, but muff
believe them right, because they can
not wait, or will not take the pains, to
hear the other mide. But few of our cit
izens are scholluis, and fewer still are
lawyers or legislators. Therefore, *tis
often easy for a man of frothy w ords to
bedizen them in matters, which, if left;
unincumbered, would appear plain and
comprehensible.
I entreat every man of common
sense, who understands and can explain
those things which are so often contor-1
led and misrepresented to the ptople,;
to do a little something to elucidate and 1
correct the minds of the honest but
misled part of the community ; for
that alone will save the country from a
ruinous storm that threatens darkness
and distrers.
As for Mr.4 Republican,’ I will on
t ly add, by way of appendix ; 44 He
speaks a wonderlul deal of nothing :
his reasons are as two wheat grains
hid in two bushels of chaff; you shall
seek all day e'er you find them, and
when you have them they aie not worth
the search. R_d.
A paragraph writer in the Argus infiau
ates mat lome of the communications in the
Gazette are from the pen of a foreigner. We
can allure our readers that the infinuation is
a bafe falihood, and the writer knew he was
uttering a !i*|when he made it. But the edit
or of the Argus, when requefted to prove his
declarations, abandons the Inbje& and reforts
to perfonalities In this, his malignity equals
his ignorance It i, his ufual mode of delend
j ing a had caufe. We lhall not fupport t>ur

may occalionally exercile the law of retaliation.
