Original Pieces, including Dialogues, Speeches,
Orations, Addrefe, and Harrangues, Calculated
to improve the fchoUfr in Reading, and Speak

By DANIEL STA NIFORD; A. M.„
Author of " Jfort but Comprehensive Grammar."
The above Work contains a very ju
dicious Selection from the most celebrated Au
thprs, and many Original and well adapted pie
ces. Great care has been taken in the selec
tions to avoid such as were in works of similar
design, so as in fa& to render it a New School
^ook.
The Rules for reading and speaking,
and the application of those rules to the several
pieces, will be found particularly ufeful to the
Inftrudlor as well as to the pupil and is a great
recommendation of the work.
In the preface, the author observes,
« The design of this Compilation jsto furnifh
some general rules by which the , after in ad
dition to his oral inftruaion may be able to teach
his pupils the rudiments of reading with ele
gance and propriety. Ir also furnifhes such
kffons for reading as will naturally tend to al
lure the tender mind to the love of knowledge,
and the practice of virtue and.religion ; to in
form the nnderftanding, and to please the im
agination ; to warm the opening boforn with
benevolent and foeial affi?&ions, and to incul
cate the several duties and principles of moral
ity"
At the above place may be had,
An English Grammar, by the
fame Author, which has received die
approbation of many inftruaors, and is intro

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THIRTEENTH- YEA. . .
&Ota< ana
Advertiser.
An ignorant people may Be easily led to be
lieve, that even the freed government is tyran
nical,, and that the best administration ia defpec
ic arid oppressive.—An immoral, vicious peo
ple have a rooted aversion to the rest raints of
law and public order. " Overturn,'' is their
motto; and coufufion is the element in which
they delight to breathe : it is hardly therefore,
to be exported that they would fly to support
the odious (ttydard of law and order, which it
is the wifli of their hearts to profrate and to
trample under feet.
When the people of the free States of Greece#
had become generally corrupted in morals, and
were led by noisy demagogues, without patrio,
tifm and without principle, they were not seen
“ to fly to the standard of the law and of public
order,' 1 and spiritedly to repel the invader of
their rights ; but faction, confufion and anarch,
reigned among their divided bands, and in their
diftra&ed councils .The gold of Philip plead
ed more powerfully than the eloquence of De
moflhenes; and they fell an easy prey to his
ambition.^ # '
When &far had passed the Rubicon and
became the avowed invader of Roman Liberty
the cicizens of Rome, who had loft their morale
and republican habits, and become effeminated
arid debauched, h^ook themfeives, not “ to the
standard of the law and. of public order," but
to the ftan&id of the vfurper.
'Bat why. need we go back to former times
Dur own ige teema with events which prove,
that republican data Mid few# of government
are as ineffedtru to bind a depraved and turbu
fail people, * # thread of tow would be to

France, ierc prefchts berfdf to our aftoni/h
--•rd vie%,—Her civil conditutions of govern
ment, which were ratified by the people and
far,aioned by their falcrnn oaths, have one af
tzr another been swept away/ like “ the base
, left fabric of a vifion?'—Thefe have been suc
ceeded by a military despotism, at the head &f
which, Buonaparte a foreigner, a °°f£?}„
birth, manages, with usurped authority
lines of the Great Nation.—Or, if WC ca " dm#
our attention,dear-bought experience has taught
our own nation,that our republican governmeM
has no frength, any further than the people
have wildom and virtue. The insurgent coun
ties of Pennsylvania exhibit a miniature por
trait of the certain cffe&s of general ignomefc
X HE Deity himfelf is introduced by the fie
red penman, as uttering the following patfei
cal with concerning a mod highly favoured peo
ple ofold, "O, that they were wife !" A# :£
an Angel spoke, we may hear this divine ejacu
lation repeated and applied to otarfelves. Dur
own nation, in order to be bappy, needs but to
be wife. It possesses a goodly land and has extent
of territory fufficient for many generations to
come. The fruit of every clime may be made
to grow within its borders. On its widely er
tended toasts, and in its numerous and excellent
harbors, by the fisheries, navigation, and com
merce, the immense treasures of the fed are
poured into its bosom.
Such has been the wife& benevolent economfr
of Providence refpeaing this country that the
people of the Atlantic &of the weft ; and also of
the eastern & fouthernStates,may derive a recip
rocity of benefits from each other,and are drawn
to union by the cords of real interest. in th#
mean time, Freedom has spread its chcrilhin^
mantle over us.—Our government is of our own
making and choosing, and our rulers proceed
from ourfclves. —“ What lack we yet ?”-^l
What divine favour has been denied us ?—
" What could have been done to this Vineyard
that has not been done in it ?"—Heaven has
given us a profusion of blessings; it is for us to
improve them. Our future destinies will depend
materially upon our national conduct. If the
general conduct of our nation should be marked
with wifdotn, the fair Tree of Liberty that has
tetr planted in this country by 'the V^hble
hands of sages and heroes, and, as it were,water
ed with the richest blood, will grow & flourilh
and overshadow the whole land ; and our chil
dren's children, even many generations to comp
may eat of its delicious fruit.
But, on the other hand (which God forbid!)
ff the portrait of our national character Should
be stamped with the hideous features of folly &
wickedness—the root of this venerated tree
Will be corroded,—its bloom will be blasted, —
its fruit will wither ; —.and being Gripped of i's
beautiful foliage,it will present only a huge trunk,
so unsightly, so disgusting, that the public voice
will be heard to fay," Cut it down ; why cum
bereth it the ground ?"
It has been told u$ by the firft officer of the na
tion, (fa tbe Pref dent's inaugural Speech)" That a
Republican Government is the ftrotgejl government
on earth —that it it the only one, where every wa,,
at the call of the law, would fly to theftanlard of
(be law, and luhld meet intf^ns of the public order
as bis own personal concern." Truth Stands upon
its own basis, and the authority of the greater
names can neither add to it, nor take from. it.
The fentiments,which have been quoted, could
not confidently have been meant, nor are they
td be received for general truths ? because hife
torical fads speak a very different language.—-
In forming a scale that may determine the real
strength or weakness of a Republican govern
ment, it is neccffiry that the following qucf
tions Should be accur'atly anfwered:—Are the
officers of the government generally capable f
Are they honest !—Are the people general!,
wife !—Are they virtuous ?—A zealous at
tachment id, law and to public order among a
free people, pretbppofes general knowledge and
Virtue.
