ANECDOTE.
T)HILIP IV. having loft the kingdom of.
Portugal, Catalonia, and feme other pro
vinces, took it into his head to take the sur
name of Great —on which the Duke of Cal-.
fisford said, " Our master is like a hole, that.
groweth the greater the more it loses."
Political Payers.
[IT is aFaa, efthlilharfTthrtiindsot
many, that out Milih|J^ws are partial and
unjust in their operation—that there are too
many &m,/j—that Military Duty falls too
heavily on the poor labourer—And conse
quently, that a Refdrm'ought to take place.
The following numbers of the Soldier,
are calculated for that purpose—they were
written in Massachusetts—but, as the Citi
zens of Newhampfhire lie under grievances
Similar to those complained of in that Hate,
we presume the Soldier will meet the ap
probation of our Readers.)

THE SOLDIER, No. I.
MR. PRINTER,
IAMI AM a true Republican in every
sense of the word. I delight io the
prosperity of Government, wh& it is'
administered confident with the; hap
pineh of the people. I have chosen
the charaaeriftic of " The Shlditf,
form, insignia $ and hope co mani
feft myfelf worthy the appellation of
:acooD one^ As I believe the char
acter which bespeaks the idea of a
Friend and Protedor, will be more
heartily welcomed by your reader#,
than one whole life is only devoted to
fell. For a greater love can no man
have for his country, than to lay down
or venture his life to fave<he land
wherein he retidei, from the attacks
of the oppressor, or the encroachments
of 'an ambitious mortal—consonant
with scripture.—Such is the Soldier.
When hi country is verging on the
Rate above cited, he bids adieu tothe
fweeta of domestic life, ind enters the
plains of death with a fortitude which
he evinces he holds sacred the idea,
that death is pre/era^/e to a life or
BONDAGE.
I think, Sir, I have given a fuffiaent
delineation okthecharaftr I have as

To assist us in this, inquiry, it will,
be necessary in this number to examine
into the end and intent of civil gov

within its jurifdiaion. — This explana
tion, I think, no one will term Par
tial.) It will be tire foundation of
the Soldier's remarks, and the rock
whereon he builds his hopes of soc-
M^
But the real intent of the Soldier, is
(to be more explicit) to search and
fee, if the class of citizens, embodied
and denominated the Militia, are
not fubjeded, by law, to bear a great
er part of the expenle of fopporting
government, than any other citizens
whatever.
To come at the TRUTHS, I will
quote some paffiges from the Consti
tution of this Common wealth—and
in future numbers coneraft the Law
for Regulating the Militia, with this
Conftitutioo.
Preamble—" The end of the in
stitution, maintenance and administra
tion of government, b to secure the
existence of the body politic ; to pro
te& it, and co furnifh the individuals
who compose it, with the power of
enjoying in fafety and tranquility, their
natural rights, and the bleffiags of
life."'
" The body politic is formed by a
voluntary affiliation of individuals :
it is asocial compaft, by which the
wbolo people covenants with each cit
izen, and e^b citizen with tbAobole
people, that all shall be governed by
certain laws tor the common good. It
is the duty of the peoples therefore, in
framing a Conftiration of Government,
to provide for an equitable mode of
making lam, as well as for an impar
tial interpretation, and a faithful ex
ecution of them ; that ever, man may
at ill times, find his security in them."
The frft article of our declaration
of rights declares —-"All men are
bom free and equal, and have cer
tain natural, essential and unalienable
rights ; among which m«y be reckon
ed the right of enjoying and defend
ing their lives and liberties : that of
, acquiring, possessing and protecting prop
erty ; in foe, that qf fee king and ob
taining their fafety and happiness."
Art. 6.—" No man nor corpora
tion or association of men, have any,
other title to obtain advantages, or
particular and exclusive privileges dif
tinft from those of the community,
than what arises from the consideration
of services rendered to the public."
Art. , " Government is inftituc
ed for the common good ; for the
prote&ibo, fafety, prosperity and hap
piness of the people ; and not for the
profit, honour, or private interest of
any one man, family, or clafa of
men"
Art. io.—^ Each individual of the
society has a right to be preceded by
it, in the enjoyment $f his life, liberty
and property, according to handing
I&. He is obliged, confcquently,
, to contribute Ml flhare co the expense
OTthis proteftioa { to give his person
al service, or an equivalent, when nec
essary: But no part of the property
[ of any individual Can with justice be
[taken from him, or applied to public
lufes, without his swo £oafent, or that
of the representative tody of the peo
pfiml^ people of this Cotn
monwtytfr controulable by
any other lavwthan those to which
their confticutional representative bo.
'^ toe given their content; —And
whenever the public exigencies re
quire, that the property of any indi
vidual Should be appropriated to pub
lic uses, he shall receive a reasonable
compensation therefor."
* Art. 29. —" It is essential tor the
preservation of the rights of every in
dividual, his life, property and char
ader, that there be an impartial inter
pretation of the laws, and administra
tion of justice."
These quotations ere Sufficient to
establish the fact, that our Conftifu
tion delegates no power to the Legif
lative Body, to eoa& laws which are
oppieffive in any sense; much less
that caftsa greater burden upon one
part of their Constituents than it does
on the whole.
