A SENSE of Honor is a very powerfulaf
fe@fonintbe breaftsof mankind, It is
difeoverabJe feyen ip childhood, and its effects
# are. perhaps, not later than the exercise of
reason. Honor is what all men are desirous
of obtaining, though they widely differ in the;
l^^neV ofiheir pyrfuit to acquire it. That
which is truly honorable, is calculated to pro
mote a general gobd. The happiness of t<wo
is preferable to that of one, and that ofafod
-6/y to that of an/WiCTi/^a/. —He that does an
^, by which,he may profitjiimfelf. Without
injuring society, is praise-worthy : but his
part is motd honorable, who conneds his
IS&nmtry's fy&With his own; and his still
better,from frhofecondu& alkmankind may
reap benefit.?
None have more mistaken notions of ho ;
nor than thofewho place it merely m external
refped, and adventitious circumstances of
fortune. Riches, dignity of officejoWigh
admiration excited by fume splendid ^rot, i
may gain that noisy applause, which is a%fcl
fame. But, however, thaz internal refpe&,~
,at which the thinking multitude bow with
reverence, is pofleffed by him only, “ who in!
no fixation of life is either affirmed or afraid
of difeharging his duty, and a&ing his proper
part with firmnefs and conftanty; true to the
Gop whom he worffiips, and true to the
faith in which he profeflfes tp belteye; full of
affection to his brethren of mankind; faith
ful to his friends, generous to his enemies ;
Warm with conipaffon to the unfortunate ;

People of the United Stales.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,.
IT is a right of the people peaceably
to affemole and deliberate—it 11 a
right of the people ^ their
sentiments. These rights we exer
ci(e,,4@ esteem invaluable.
A war raging in Europe; a war
of tyrants against liberty, cannon be
unfelt by the people of the United
States ;J it lias roused bur feeling^,
rife ^ave rejoiced when victory follow
ed the ftaodards of liberty. When
despots were fuccefiful, we have ex
perieoced the deepest anxiety. We
have lamented that our good wishes
were the only aid we could give the
French. , ft,
^ Among ,he different powers com
bined against the rights of mao, we
have marked the British nation, the
champion of despotism. With indig
nation we have heard their insolent
didatei to the small neutral powers
of Europe, to join in the Subjugation;
of France. With sorrow we have
seen every principle of liberty hither
to retained by the peopltypf Britain,
violated by its present corrupt govern
ment, and their most virtuous inhab
itants transported to foreign lands, or
going into voluntary exile : But we
hope these things will ultimately pro
duce good, and that there'll still „ty
lent (park, which by exteffive frin
01 Ikindle to a flame, and will
consume the rotten edifice of the Brg
ilh government, on the ruins of which
another .may ^rife, the basis whereof
ihajl be justice liberty and ^qiiality.
While with anxious expedition we
contemplate the affairs of Europe, it
will be criminal to forget, our own
country. A session of Congref^hafc

people were equally reprefeoted, it is
a fit time to take a retrofpeaiye view
of the proceedings of government.—
We' have watched each motion of
those in power, but are sorry we can
not exclaim " well done thou good
and faithful fervent.” We have seen
the nation insulted, cur rights violat
ed, our commerce ruined—and what
has been the conduct of government ?
Under the corrupt influence of the
paper fyftes;lt has uniformly crouch

Our alfres the French, to whom we
owe our political existence, have been
fteafed unfriendly ; denied any ad
vantages from their treaties with us ;
thei/ Mimfter abused; and those in
dividuals among os, who desired to
aid their arms, prolecuted as traitors

Citizens! What is despotism ? Is
tfflot a union of executive, legifktive,
and judicial authorities in the feme

effected, Ydor'chief justice has been

FELLOW-CITIZENS,
,We hope the ,mifcondua of thej
executive may h^ve proceeded irorn,

of measure, is necessary. How ffian :

It was recommended by the con

more than eight years successively.
Confider well this experiment. 'Tit
probably the most certain way to
