No. XXIV.
Experience, which cannot be contra
dicted, proves the powerful efficacy ot
sanctifying the sabbath, to preserve order,
justice, love and government in the family
and neighbourhood. Although there may
be civility and polite attention, between
families where God is not worshipped and
his sabbath kept, it is not difficult through
the outward show, to discover a very doubt
ful sincerity and a want of deep, heart
governing sensibility. It is the latter which
abides in the heart under trialsand crosses,
and makes men friends when we need a
friend. How strongly is this illustrated in
scenes of family trial; sickness and death,
which are constantly happening. Let one
be laid on the bed of danger, from among
the. fashionable desp’r ers of religion and of
God’s sabbath. Where are the irreligious
friends, whose amity was so tender in the
day of ease-—who fawned around each
other with professions of infinite friendship
and most exquisite sensibilities of heart?
They are all fled Their friendship is for
gotten. The f.shionable, irreligious sick
one must look another way for help. An
other kind of people are around the be<i
of groans and death. The plain, the seri
ous, the praying people who keep the sab
bath of the Lord in his sanctuary and in
their families, are now the only -ones who
appear to have sensibility, and who dare
expose themselves to aid a dying feilow
mortal. They have sought the Lord to
give them such a tempet 4 , and they now
find it. They can spend their sleepless
nights in kind attendance and piayei
around the death-bed of those, who lately
reviled them for their religious fear of
God. They can pain themselves to be
like their Divine Master. O religion of
Jesus, how great is thy triumph in such
a scene as this!
That the following extracts from a
letter addressed to the President of the
United States, and published at the seat of
government, are from the pen of the Hon.
John Randolph, we think admits no dis
pute. The whole is interesting; but the
extracts peculiarly so—a liberty which we
are compelled to take from the length of
the publication. After some prefatory re
marks, the writer goes on to observe—
•< 1
lam wandering from my purpose; which
is, to request your serious attention, and
that of every sober mind in the state, not
so much to any thing which I am able to
offer to your consideration, as to the " An
nual Report of the Secretary of the Trea
sury,” made to Congress on the 17lh of
this month : [December, 1809 ] This me
morable and mournful state-paper merits,
and muit receive the deepest attention.—
It is conclusive as to the policy which has
been, pursued for the last three years.—
Hitherto, the contest has been' carried on
by charges, mixed with some proof, on the
one side ; and peremptory denials on the
other ; and the good people have not known
which party to believe; more especially,
when all their knowledge of the charges
and proofs against administration has been
derived from so impartial a source as the
ministerial prints. There is now, however,
a standard to which all may have access;
from which opposition will not, and admini
stration can not appeal. In this sinking
political barometer we discern a revenue
dwindling, in three short years, from six
teen millions to ten; from ten, tlx awd aw
half !—an enormous surplus of preceding
y ear*—[before folly had snatched the helm
of government,] exhausted ; a redundant
revenue dried up ; and, before any thing
like preparation even for defence rs made,
F orbear, forbear, each wrangling elf,
And this sage maxim take in hand j
Should Satan so divide himself,
His kingdom can no longer stand.

< loan of four millions certainly , [pet haps
more,] becomes necessary ! This is not the
gloomy picture of a factious federalist, or
>f a discontented minority man, accused—
'for accusation is ever ready,) “ of private
griefs;” it is the fairest view which one of
the Cabinet—(himself a man of transcun
deat abilities)—can present of the state of
the nation, brought to this point by the
measures and the counsels of his patron,
his colleagues, and himself.
“ Will not G. Britain and France trem
ble at our powers of annoyance, when they
see this report ? when they are told tn the
chancellor of the American exchequer, the
greatest financier now living, “ that the
expenses of government, (exclusively of
the payments on account of the principal
of the debt,) have exceeded the actual
receipts into the treasury, by a sum of near
one million three hundred thousand dol
lars!—that three millions are necessary to
make up the deficit; and that, in the event
of war, loam, reimbursable by instalments
after the return <f peace, must constitute
the principal resoutce for defraying it* ex
penses ?” May we not expect a special *
mission to make atonement for the oHer co
done by the “ insoh nt Mr Jackson” upon
<he d licate nerves of the sensitive Mr. >
Smith ? Will not the British ministry, (for
there is no degree of folly, however un
dignified or puerile, that may not fairly be
ascribed to them,) look rather to the “ pa
per shdl” thundered in the Senate, by one
who resembles Sempronias in every thing
bilt his address and abilities, against 'he
tyrant nation that denies to the great Em
pcrour “ the liberty of the sc is,” which he
is so ambitious “ to conquer” by the aw»rd,
and his ex-brother of America to obtain
for him by libation and prayer ? The mea
sures which have led to our present disas
trous and disgraceful condition, were the
measures of that man. Espouse them, and
they become your own. You iden'ify your
self with Atm, who with a full and perfect
knowledge that he was about to surrender
into your hands a beggar’d exchequer, and
that the deception could not be kept up
twelve months after his retreat io th®
mountain, gravely came forward in his last
■official address to Congiess, and to the na
‘ tiun, affecting to be embarrassed with “ th®
->urplusses of our revenue,” and pretending
co tax the ingenuity of the Legislature, not
with raising supplies, which he well knew
to be then wanting, but in devising a ays
and means to rid the country of the burthen
of a redundant treasury: A man “ who
died, politically, with a ••• in his mouth !**
It is on record—lt is deposited in the ar
chives of his country ! It was u deception
u>o, tending with the ignorant multitude
of his worshippers, tothiowthc <xhum of
the present defalcation from his shoulders
upon your own—to make you responsible
for the sudden change effected by his ab
sence from the helm of government —for
the vanishing of the fairy treasures—.he
rich succession which he handed ovci to
you; his friend.
“ Our gallant gun-boats sail out of port,
and then—sail back again. Our warlike
officers pocket their pay and emoluments,
and peaceably devote themselves to wordy
warfare—to the editing of ministerial jour
nals in the service oi his Galhck and Ital
ian majesty : or, after taking a trip to Faris,
at the publick expense, to hl themselves
with legimciitals of the must fashionable
cut, employ their leisure in carry ing tnes
sages, marshalling ladies on the paiade of
an assembly-room, and caning members of
Congress. Tne republican doctrine, (out
uf power,) was “Ab publick money without
an equivalent publick-sirhiice" I’he text
is to be found in the political bible. Wher®
shall we look for the commentary ? Shall
we find it in an army receiving full pay,
rations and clothing with empty regiments?
in a navy where similar abuses have pre
vailed ? hi the accounts of the commander
in chief? or the bills so dexterously drawn
by his /rirnd General Smith, on Degen, •
Purviaoce and Co. through the instrumen
tality of his brother, our late Minister of
Marine, and present Secteury of the fo
reign and home depai tinent of Stale ? But
let me not be guilty of injustice. These
were nol acts of your administration.
“ 1 have said that we are unprepared
even for defence. Thia may aecm to imply
* contradiction of what you have asserted
hi your late message to Congress—<nd will
perhaps be deemed by the outrageous re
publicans of the new school, (by far the most
servile courtiers we hate,) a breach of the
engagement with which 1 set out. It is,
however, surely not unpardonable in ao
American citisen to claim, in an address
of this sort, speaking in reference to a pre
sidential message, tne same degree of iree
dom which was exercised mi a memorable
occasion, by a Briush subject, mi the floor
of the House of commons, iu relation to a
speech from the throne'
