betweon the year 1794, when s sound head
wnd bonest heart disdained @« servile depen

despaiving period of 1808, when the Biritish
vavy was his only hope of redempiion from

process and by means of what ugency this re

parison with ity transubstantiation is a rational
end intelilgible doctrine, it was necessary to
mark the gradations of fear and horrour, of
Francey ind the wransitions from patriotick af
‘ection to unutieruble contempt lor cur own
couniry, which preceded the intrusion of this
vlaring absurdity, into & mind so capacious ot
better things, as that of Mr., Ames.
I corupare it to transubstantiation, because
it contaius within itself an inconsistency ; the
miere stelement ol the posidion is its refuta
tion==—American Indepicodeneey degiendent wp

in the word only—lt is rooted in the thing.
The Independence of a nution must rest
upen its own energics, and yoy might as well
talk of the liberties of the Afvican slave, as

nothing but the power of unotiier,

“ qoe are of all men on the carth the fittest to be

we are slaves of Lrench or British masters §
If the people of this Union are reduced to 1
that deplotabie condition of having wenly to
deliberate ¢ whose base herd they would be,”
—=stiil it would be incambent upon those who ‘
prefer the domiination of Britain to that of
France, to shew that the British yoke would
be the eusiest—that the protection of the Bri
ish navy would be a safe reliance—~that by |
redlemption fromthe Hell of France we should 1
have a Paradise regamned, in Britain. Upon
this subject Jer us Jook at what has been pas- ‘
sing; in the werld, from the commencement
ol the French revolution. Within the last
fitteen years there is not u naticn in Europe,
excepting France and Denmark, but has had
the promise obf British protection, und the
curse ol a Biidish alliance==not one of them
but has been plunged by it into the juws of

ol pavul dowinion or forejgn conquest, und
ends by shandoning thew to the mercy of an
cxusperated and viclorivus foe. When she
hus thus mede them the helpless victims ol
her own treachery, and of France’s resentment
she seldom fuils to turn against them her own
thunaers, and like the Prince of Darkness,
becomes the final tormentor of those whom
she frst sedoecd., This is the process
throush which the Spamsh patriots are pas
sing at this hour. Itis the course through ;
which Sweden is passing. It is the course
throngh whbich the people of this Union
wouid beyond all guestion now be passing, if
the government of the nation had been in the
hands of the political sect who believe in
these doctrines.
If our nominal Independence of France
rested upon no other foundation of power
than the navy of England, the consequence
would be that we should again be under the
domination of Englund. Her argument
would be that in all reason we ought to con
tribute our share to support the expense of
protecting usy and we should soon be cal
led upon for our contribution of men, as well
as of money. This is not speculative aniicis
pation—in fact both these pretentions have
been advanced. The tribute claimed, and in
one instance levied, under .the orders of
“council, was an undisguised attempt to renew
i the project of taxation upon America, which
severed this continent from the British em
pire. The king’s proclamation of October,
1807, was an open authoriz.tion and com
mand to his naval officers to impress Ais sub
jectsy from American merchant vessels—und
of the question who was or was not his sub
“ject, the man-stealer himsell was to be the
only judge. With these two principles once
