IN that strenge medicy of wit and weak
wess 3 o reason und dotege ; of benevolence
and rencour ; of ardent spirit snd chiidisi)
terrour,; which has just been pubiished under
the title of % Works of disher Amesy complied
bu a nuniber of his feiends,==they huve treat
ed his 7.emory us they did his budy,
For the purpose of a littie Lriefl impres
sion upon popular sentiment, which they fan
cied would be produced by the authority of
bis name, in favour of their durling follies,
they huve mixed up together with some val
vabie perieimunces, really worthy of repub
lication, & nvititude of id newspaper essuys
w iich he never could have expected to sur
“vive the moment or occusion lor which they
were produced, und « number of private let
ters, certuinly not intended by him for the
publick eye, and which nothing but the
ue.chery of pretended friendship ever would
huve exposed,
Mr. Ames was a man of yenius and of vir
\e=lie meant well to his country, and sei
oo der with fiddiity wecording, to Lis, best
megment. But at a very early period of bis
“putiick life, he connected himself with Ham-
Liom, his Uonk and s junding system, in u
‘mens e which wurped bis judgment ond
trommeiled thie freedom of his mi’:\d for the
remwainder of his days. The rveproaches,
which ut that time, his political enemies cust
upon him, as havirg contracted a fiersonal ire
irvesty in the est:blishment of the system,
which, partly by the influence of his exertions
wus made to prevail, infused a tincture of
bitterness in his subsequent political senti
# ents, not congenial to his natural temper,—
he becdume wedded to his doctrines, not by
the sordid selfishness of avarice, to which he
was always superiour, but by the copcern fo:
his own fume, and by the virulence” of his
antagonists,® - :
Mr., Ames was not among the first who
diccerncd the real charcter and tendencies ¢
tire French revolution——and when he did dis
cover that it was not the introductory avenue
to the millennium, he stiil continued to view
it through a paricl medium. He changed
his glass, but suil saw through it darkly.
From that time he become on this subject a
convert io the English school,and with all the
opinions of the anti-revolutionist, mingled all
the fearsengendercd fancies of the antisgalli- |
i cin. He m:;& the wildest extravagancies
which the sterial putuphleteers m:;;-
land disseminate among the populace; to re
concile them to the burdens of eternul war
with France, and transfering to his own coun
tvy the reul dangers of Englund, from the
prospect of a-French invasion, he lived in a
perpetuul panick, that America would finally
be only the last morsel for the voracious maw
of the monster Buonaparte, | '
During the lust ten years of his life, Mr.
Aines’s heulth was always in a precarious,and
often in an alarn ing condition, His " spirits
partook of his infirmities. ‘l'he most distin
guishing fe:ture in his character was the vi
\‘;u‘i‘y of his ivhw,:imti«m. The disease which
was undermining his constitution, without im
pairing the splend' . of his foncy, affected
the tone of his ner..s. Every thing that he
saw became coloured by Lis fears. He was
contintaily, but incflectualiy, labouring to im
part bhis terrours to his countrymen ; they
grew stronger upon him in proportion as they
proved incflicacious upon others,until he work
ed himself up into a sort of reasoning frenzy
compounded of advration of British powere—
abhorrence of France, and contempit for his
own countrymen. In such a state of mind,
he committed sometimes to the press senti
ments which will not bear the test of a cool’
examination—but in his private letters be in
duiged his morbid bumonrs more freely : and
now, those sentiments which the hand of sin
cere affection ought to have covered with the
thickest veil, are brought forth in all their
nakcdness to the world, because they happen,
| to suit the purposes of a faction.
The following are a very few out of a great
number of such sentiments. If any of Mr,
Ames's mumber of friends, are prepared to
defend them, let them be heard. If they
ave such as no raan living dare to defend,why
were they not kept in the sacred deposit of
private friendship, to which they were com
mitted ?

We are sensible, that this inexpressil
contempt for the whole ‘American nation
this funatical klolStry of Britain, and this «
lirious dream of Buovnuparte’s coming in 1
shape of a tiger to eat u;i: our children, bq
all become standing articles of fuith in t
Junto creed. 1 have beard it said, that wh
His Most Gracious Majesty was under t
discipline of Dr. Willis, he funcied bimsel
fox, und thut he was hunted by Gen. Washin
ton. The nineteeth twentieths Mol
« scarcely six hundred” out of the * six m
lions,” who are sihcere in these night-ma
visions, have brains less modest in their c¢
fusion than those of the great King, |
bumbly conceived himself turned into a cu
ning and cowardly beast, whose hunter was
hero. T hey, forsooth dream, not - thas, th
themselves, but that all their neighbours a
countrymen are transformed into bhares, (0|
hunted by a tiger ; and that in the chace t!
tiger’s raven will not spare even them t
salt of the earth, the heroick would<be &
yiours of their base and servile countryme
Itis a melancholy comemglation of hum;
nature to see a mind so richly gikgd, and
highly cultivated as that of Mr. Ames, sou
ed and exasperated into the very ravings of
bedlamite.
But the apology that is due for him, is not
equally the right of others. There arg those,
who, without believing « word of this absurd
and inconsistent political creed,are yet as cas
ger for its propagation as he was==verily they
expect ‘their reward. If they can [righten
the whole people into a madness, like thut of
the royal fox=—if they can fill the brains of
the nation with a funcy that we have ¢ll been
trausformed into the wilest of the brute cre=
ation, save enly the choice spirita, amounting
to, 4t most, six hundred ; the next step fole
lows of course==The porcelain must rule o
ver the earthen ware—the blind and sordid
multitude must put themselves, bound hand
and foot, into the custody of the Jynx-eyed

then all together must go and sqaut for protecs
