THOMAS HUWLAND.
Such was the lunguage of Mr. Ames on
the 27th Junuary, 1794, und with this just
and honourable sentiment he closed his
speech aguinst Mr,Madison’s resolutions. ¥o
this sentiment I now adhere, and in these pa
pers am endeavouring to defend it aguinst
the goblin terrours of Mr. Ames himself,and
the more deliberate alarms of his publishing
e object of these terrours,was compounds
ed of two ingredients, which in 1794, had
at least an aprcamncc of congeniality and co
operation., French power and detyocracy.
Tlie alliunce between these two tremendous
monsters was surely dissolved long before
Mr. Ames E)rtraycd with such potick
powers the Dangers of American Liberty.
But although for ever separated on the scene
of real life, they were still united in dreadfui
harmony in the world of imaginary feur, and
they tortured his funcy, with all their horrid
shapes and sights unholy, as the images of
the night-mare pass in wnfused succession
before the waking slumben of disease.
The degree to which his understanding
was affected by these horrible visions can be
described only by himself. In the « Dungers
of American Laberty,” alter biterly com
v ining that even among the fedenlists there
were perhaps not five hundred whe allowed
themselves ¢ o view the progress of licen
tiousness as so sfieedy,so sureand 80 Jazal, as
the deplorable experience of our country
shews iz is, and the evidence of history and
the constitution of human nature demonstrate
that it must be.” He opologizes fur this fed
eral apathy by the following picture of his
own sensations.
“ Qur days are made heavy with the pressure of
anxiety, an(i our nights restless with visions of hor.
rour., We listen to the elank of chains, and overe
hear the whispers of assassins. We mawk the bar.
barous dissonunce of mingled rage and triumph in
the yell of an infatuuted mob; we see the tﬂmul
glare of their burnings and scent the loathisome
stearmn of human victims offered in sacrifice.”
| P 57.
A mun must have no ordinary share 6f male
ice inhis composition, who could wish 10'see
his direct foe, in the state of mind indicated
by this paragraph. But this was not the
worst. There is a species of alienation in
the intellect, for which the miseries of a tem
poral life are not sufficiently distressing. Me
lancholy derangement often terminates in the
belief of the unhappy patient that he is actu
ally suffering the torments of eternity. The
frequency with which the ideaof Hell returns
in the latter compositions of this volume,con
nected with French conquest und democratick
triumph, affords too strong presumption that
the natural tendency of the author’s distems
per was to Luat issue,
“It (Demoeracy) is an illuminated Hell that in
the midst of resaorse, horrour and torture, rings with
festivity ; for exrerience shows, that onc joy remins
to this most malignant description of the damned,
the power to make others wretched.” P 432.
By comparing this paragraph with one
written some years earlier, we shall perceive
that one hell, was as inadequate to theimmen
sity of Mr. Ames’s fears, as one world was to
that of Alexander’s ambition. There was
the « Hell” France, and the ¢ Hell” Deme
cracy.
.« Behold France, that open Hell, still ringing with
agonies and blasphesmies, still smoking wilh suffer
inp and crimes, ip"thh we see their state of tor
ment, and perhape our future state.” Laocoon p. 97.
" This was writien in 1799, when there re
' mained in the writer’s mind some hopes that
we might pussibly escape these infernal re
gions, DButin 1805, these hopes were ail
extinguished, and to Hell we must go. lor
immediately afier the passage which pro
nounces Democracy to be Hell, comes a des
eviption of the French Reyolutian in the au
thor’s most glowing manner, and which be
closes by saying, “ I have written the history
of France. Can we look back upon it with
out terrour, or forward without despair.”
When 1 consider the state of health in
which these .things were written, I cannot
but feel a sentiment of compassion for the
sufferiags of the author, which checks the
disposition, almost irresistable 1o present
them in the ladicrous light which would be
most appropriate to them,
The same lndulfence, however, is by no
means nccessary for the editors who have
üblished these Po!itics! spasms to the world
ﬁ.- political wisdom. When Mr. Ames
shrieks out,
“LET us assert a genuine indcrndeuoc of spirit,
we shall be fulse to our duty and feelings as Ameri
cans, it we basely descend to a servile dependence
on Prance or Great Brituin, p. 57.
“ Look ! look, fellewcountrymen, as we do, t°
your dear, innocent children. Ask your hearts if
they can bear 80 racking a question, whether a shal
low confidence in our unarmed m&ﬁ‘l“"‘
Buonaparte, in case Great Britan should fall, does
not mdtom&ubm of a restless,
unappeas.ble zrult. We at the though:
that our own decr children will be in Buonaparte's
