The Rhode-Island Republican — Newport, R.I., 1810-01-03 00:00:00, page 3

Tue Editor of the Ricde-Jstand Reprubi
can, as custom has established, presents his
felicitations to his patrons, and wishes theun
the enjoyment of a s and happy
year. At the same time z: cannot dispense
with a few brief observations on the important
and interesting crisis to which our country
had arrived.
When we take a retrospective view of the
past year, and the eventful situation of the
commencement of the present, we are filled
with a degree of dread and apprchension, such
as must haturally arise in the minds of those,
who view the blessings of Peace in all'its per
fections. From the unjust and uhnatural po
sition assumed by Great Britain, and the inso
lent conduct of her Minister, we can hardly
refrain our apprehensions that she will force
ue iidto a war. However averse our country
may be to this dreadful alternative, and how
ever much it has been thmioy of the for
nter and present administ to avert the
evil, which has long threatened us, and which
in its sanguinary course has almost obliterated
the maost powerful nations of Europe, yet still
that alternative, i the mind ‘of every patriot
ick American, must be preferable to a slavish
submission—and that too to a nation, who has
already felt, that Americans were not doomed
to_wear the chains of bondage. If we must
appeal to arms in support of our rights, let
us do it with firmness—let us do it with dig
nity—=dnd let us shaw to the world that Amer
icans bave not degenerated : that they haye
not lost that spirit which was handed down
Ly ‘otr venerable Yathers, which animated
tgem,to struggle ageinst tyranny and despot
ism, in those * times that tried men's souls.”
~Nor ean we view in the conduct of France
towards us, that justice which we have a right
to demand, and which we eught to be deter
mined, il necessary, to demand at the point
2 ¢ sword and at the cannon’s mouth. For
. though the preponderating power of France
~ 'may strike terrour to the abject vassals of the
fﬁurqpean world, y=t, in this land of Freedom,
where Liberty has dispensed her mild anu ef
falgent beams, the frowns of tyranny and the
“mandates of despotism, are regurded only with
scorn and’ derision. ~
« As Americans it behoves us to rally round
the standard of our country, and support in
the present crisis the constituted authorities
of the nation. 'We know not what will be the
ovents of the ensuing year-—but we do know
that the ark of our political safety must be
‘buoyant on the flood of Uity and Patriotism.
. Proposals have been tssucd by Mr. Epura
-am C. Bzavs, of Bostan, for publishing, by
subscripiion, the above excellent work. The
patronage that has been extended towards it
in Boston, and the talents and respectability of
the subscribers, is of its-If a sufficient recom
mendation to those who have never perused
it—to those who have read it nothing need be
.said. It will be comprised in two octavo vol
umes of about 350 pages each, and will be
printed in the most elegant manner, on a su
pecfive wove paper, at 6 per ream, and hot
pressed.—~Price to Subscribers, $2 a volume.

the 'Exposition, &c. in this day’s paper. To
those who are not determined to support
Great Britain in all her aggressions at the ex
pense of truth and every patriotick sentiment,
this is an irrefragable as well as conclusive
“We challenge those editors, who have tuken
a'decided ground against their country, to
‘produce in it a single deviation from truth, or
‘@ single sentence which is supported by that
sophistry which they are necessitated to re
