Can any thing be more expreflive of
the present Rate of things ^ When we
fee how the democratic faftionare man
aging "the reins of government,"which
with all the ambition and want of prin
ciple that is natural to them, they have
" usurped :" and how they are faft
pursuing the line of conduct described
by General Wafhingron.
" One method of assault (fays he) may be to
effea in the form of the conftfrution alterations
which will impair the energy of the system, and
thus undermine what cannot be dire&ly over
throw, In all the changes to which you may
be invited, remember that time and Libit axe at
least as necessary to fix the true charter of
governments, as of other human institutions —
that experience is the trued fland/tc by which
to test the rqal tendency of the evring confti
cation of a country —that sac y in changes
upon the credit of mere hypot' Jis and opinion,
exposes to perpetual change, ;r,Ol the tndkfs
variety of hypothecs and ope "
The Conftitutian the democrats 'ive
already impaired, and ac till under
mining. Time, nor the experr ace of |
past years, have no weight againd their t
ambitious and unprincipled *vs ; but
changes on mere hype ^ and
opinion will next follow. ' ^opefed
candidate to Congress fr^. Virginia,
has already published a fpecimcn in sev
eral newspapers. And ou. Rate gov
ernment seems to go with tri spirit of
innovation hand in, hand. — - ray be
remembered a committee in the House
of Delegates of Maryland last session
reported, that alterations in the consti
tution were necessary, and that a con
vention should be called,&c. The fame
spirit of pulling down prevails in all
thejr -councils, even down to the Levy
Court in Frederick County : And ob
ferve,we were not only cautioned in this
memorable address, against what has
already taken place since its date, but
we were told where it will all end, in
the words following:—"But this leads
at length to a more formal and perma
nent despotism. —The disorders and
miseries, which result, gradually incline
the minds of men to leek security and
repose in the absolute power of an in
dividual : And sooner or later,_the
chief of some prevailing fadion, more
able or more fortunate than his com
petitors, turns this disposition to the
purposes of his out elevation, on the
ruins of Public Liberty."
And can we want any better proof
of this prediction than the example of
France before us ? Bonaparte is there
the elevated chief—This champion for L
Republicanism has become a military
despot ! And what else can be exped-
" However combinations, or affiliations of
the above deferj ption may now and then an
swer popular ends, they are likely in the course
of time and things,, to beaom- potent engines,
by which cunning, auvit.'jLs und unprincipled
men will be enabled to subvert the power of
the people, and to usurp te themselves the reins
of government , destroying after vards the very
engines which have lifted them to unjust do
minion."
The public may recoiled the opposi
tion government met with in the West
ern Infurredion, and may also recollect
that some of our now leading characters
in Congress, if not in higher elevation,
function this opposition, and no doubt
then had their prefect elevated date in
view. But to proceed with the Ad
dress:
MR. PRINTER,
COMING acrefe GefcA',;f :hiyg-
Yos's Rirewel Adam; we ether
day, I was led to give it another read
ing, and could not but remark hownttr
we have already approached to a situ
ation, which that great and good man
forefaw,and against the dangerof which
as a father to his country, he laboured
with such feeling language to guard us.
A few passages, which are quoted be
low, are more particularly worthy of
republication at this time.
“ All ob^ru^ions to the execution of the laws,
all combinations and associations, under what
soever plausible character, with the real design
to direst,controul,counteract or awe the regular
deliberations and action of the constituted au
thorities, are deftruCtive of this fundamental
principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve
to organize foaion, to give it an artificial and
extraordinary force—to put in the place of the
delegated,will of the nation, the will of a party,
often a small but artful and enrer prising minor
ity of the community ; and, according to the al
ternate triumphs of different parties,to make the
public administration the mirrorof the illconcert
ed & incongruous projects of faction,rather than
the organ of confident and wholesome plans,di
gefted by common councils, and modified by
mutual interests."

this proved a saving of" much great
er disbursements to repel" that enemy.
Ample funds were then provided,more
than fufficient to defray the necessary
expences of this armament, and if con
tinued when no longer wanted for that
purpose, would have very soon extin
guished our public debt. But for popu
lar reasons Mr. Jefferfon recommend
eda repeal of those laws, from which a
considerable part of this revenue arose,
(whilst he has left us under taxes much
more exceptionable)thus " ungenerous
ly throwing upon posterity the burden
which we ourselves ought to bear." —
However to make amends,Congrefs (it
is said,) passed a law " to make provi
sion for the payment of the whole of
the public debt." Who but themselves
could have had the wisdom to difeov
er that making another loan with the
additional expence unavoidably attend
ant thereon, would be difeharging the
public debt. This difeovery, however,

fidently averted, is put in execution ! I

OBSERVER.
ed where religion and morality are
trampled under foot? This was the
forerunner of many,if not all, the evils
which took place in France ; and this,
it is to be feared, is now paving the
way for similar evils here, so far as de
ism, ifnet infidelity in our President,
and some others of the now leading
party,can affect morals and chrittianity.
For no one, I hope, will pretend to
doubt the reality of this charge again!
the President, (as also of his hatred of
General Wafhingtbh) after reading his
" precious" invitation to Thomas Paine
to return to this country, with his "sin
cere prayer" that Paine 'may live long
to continue his " ufeful labours." It
may be a qu^ftion with some, which
Mr. Jefferfon admires moss, Paine's
" labours" against the ' Christian reli
gion, or the abuse of GeneralWalh
ington ! Yet many of his party will
still tell you they regarded Gen. Was
hington, and his administration. Nay,
some have now the picture of our de
parted patriot hung up in their houses,
who,when he was alive, were known to
Shut him out from their hearts. Butthis
is all done to deceive. Let us believe
our own senses. They have been ene
mies both to his administration and his
person ; or they would not with unhal
lowed delight undermine, pull down
and trample under foot what was built
up under his foftering care ; and as if
to Shew their contempt of all his admo
nitions —But to proceed—
“ Os all the difyolitiobs and habits which lead
to political prosperity, religion and morality
are indispensable Supports. In vain would that
man claim the tribute of Pauiotifm, who wo>i!d
labour to subvert these great pillars of human
happiness, these firmed props of the duties of
men and citizens.—The mere politician, equal
ly with the pious man ought to rclped and to
cherith them. A volume could not trace all their
couueatoe with private & public felicity- L/t
it limply be asked where i&thc security for pros
perity, for reputation, for life, if the sense of re,
jigious obligation desert the oaths which are the
instruments of investigation in Courts of justice :
And let us with caution indulge the Supposition
that morality can be maintained without reli
gion.”
" As a verv important source of strength and
security chcrilh public credit : One method of
preferring it, is to use it as sparingly as possible ;
avoiding occasions of expence by cultivating
peace, but remembering also that disbursement
to prepare for danger frequently prevent much
greater difburferoents to repel it ; avoiding like,
wife, the accumulations of debt, not only by
Ihunning occasions of expence ; but, by vigorous
exertions in time of peace to difeharge the debt
which unavoidable wars may have occasioned,
not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the
burthen which we ourselves ought to bear. The
execution of hefe maxims belongs to your repre
ftntauves. But : t is necessary that public opin
ion should co-operate. To facilitate to them
the performance of their duty it is essential

Advertiser.
©M^IX anti
When his hat is off, the First Consul
is almost iadegtified in his busts; a
more living li «:nefs it is impossible to
imagine ; his hair is dark, and some
what long, uncurled, unpowdered, In
short, you may fee Bonaparte in every
(hop window.
But to the parade : Bonaparte was
attended by a few general officers—
twelve or fifteen perhaps—mounted on
chargers, richly caparisoned, and by
a favorite Mameluke, whom he is said
to havc.brought with him from Egypt.
He was employed during a considera
ble time hi printing with his own
hand, mnftets, swords, cutlaifes, &c. to
non-commissioned officers and folders,
marks'tf mgh honor, well earned^ no
doubt, by meritorious service.
I am inclined to fufyeft a little affec
tation in the coudu^ of this parade ;
the discipline of the French 'troops in
the field of battle, is generally acknow
ledged, and the difeomfiture of almost
every European power has extorted a
confeffion of their valor and persever
ance ; yet the parade was conduced in
a manner very inferior to those which
may be seen almost every day in Eng
land. The soldiers did not march twen
ty paces, preserving themselves in a
straight line ; an Englilh drill-fetjeant
would certainly have rapped some of
their knuckles with his cane. In short
the discipline appeared, altogether,ver,
lax and unwarlike ; so little accustom
ed, however, am I to this fort of fight,
and so little conversant with the degree
of driftnets which is usually preserved
in the .management of them that I
should scarcely have ventured to give
an opinion on the present occafion,if it
had not been corroborated by that of
our friend***, and by that offeveral
English who were in the Thuilleries.—•
Confident in the victorious march of
the French troops, when in actual en
gagement, does the First Consul look
down with contempt on that domeflic
[Every minute particular, which relates to a
character so extraordinary as the firfl Consul
of France, cannot fail to excite some degree of
interest. The subsequent fetch is extracted
from a series of Letters, by an English Trav
eller, written during an excuifion through
France and Geneva. The pleasant vivacity
of his Rile, will render it acceptable to thole
tei # e(cry who are arouted wita light &
fanciful description.]—&ii:
Alter enjoying for three quarters
of an hour the fplended feene which
was before us, the approach, of the
French colors was announced by the
Marseilles hymn,which the band in the
court-yard played with considerable ef
fed. The colors were conducted by the
body guard of the First Consul, thro'
the anti chamber into the room of au
dience. They were saluted by the sol
diers on guard, who opened an instant
parage for the procession. Another
half hour elapsed when the folding
doors oftheaudience-room werethroym
open, the watch-word resounded fhro'
the Tkuiileries, and the colors returned
preceding " The Warrior and the Gre,at
Pacificator," down to the court, where
he mounted a very beautiful milk white
charger, and infpeded the parade of
about seven thousand troops, confiftihg
of horses, foot and cannon.
Bonaparte was clothed in the Con
sular dress, scarlet velvet, (lightly em
broidered : he palled through the line
which was formed for him uith rather
a quick undately step, and evidently
courted not attention. If you ask of
me a description of his person, which I
had twice an excellent opportunity of
observing, being each time in the front
of the row through which he palled, &:
repaifed, I (hall refer you to the bulls
which this nation of iconolaters have
doubtless exported into England. Bon
aparte is a imall, but well proportion
ed man ; his moil pale, fallow, and e
maciated countenance, bears indubita
ble marks of deep and fearful thinking :
a dejection and melancholy which is
c^mmuni ative, poffelfed it, and are on
ly relieved by his dark, piercing eye,
which, though it wanders not with va
grant curiosity or idle fportfulnefs, by
no means partakes of the general un
healthiness pf his appearance. The
care-worn countenance of Bonaparte
impresses one with the idea that it has
never known the facet relaxation of a
fraile : of late probably it has hot ; he
is said to keep his left hand in ignorance
of what his rigfit hand does, and to
have no bosom friend, but, like Junius,
to be the sole depositary of his own se
crets.
