1° Memory of Gideon J. Wanton ;
aidrejjed to his Si'Jlev.
J?' ' A G;V"E S r,' ? ria, it the muse too rude
1 1 • rc* ,, s lacred filencc dares intrude,
Receive the eft u (ions of a heart firrcere
"Which prompts fcrthee the un«.ft'e<f*ed tear,
Which mourns with thee that virtue cannot
save
From tiie dire grasp of the relentless grave—
While Wanton, br/ghteft of the youthful train,
fhardcck'd ilhoJe-llland's once delightful plain:
While flu.Vd with hope, in youth's, in beauty's
fcloom
He finks from life to an untimelv tomb,
While friendship, love, and fortune court Vis fta\
J-le's torn from life, from all its jovs awav !
Ah ! can the rnofe who lotr'd for him to sing
Negledt to tuiie the melancholy firing ?
Can 1, who joyous hail'd thy morning ray
Refute thy letting Oram one mournful lay ?
Ail no ! nor wid thy gentle (hade refufe
The fad oblation of tne friendly muse:
Kut, tho* for thee the tears of friend/hip flow,
Thy parents' griefs surpass all other wee !
What ray (hall now the gloom of care relieve
Or gild the (hades of life's deferred eve ?
"Who looth the that tear thy fitter's heart i
O, that the mute some cordial wouM impart !
Thv only, which augment the blow
Can bring a balsam to relieve their woe :
Virtues that here acquire so bright a bloom
Receive freih energy beyond the tomb.
-And may thy filial, thy fraternal love
Have flown before thee to the realms above,
In Iweet memorial rif'n before the throne
And made the blil's of paraaife thy own. !
O, if departed spirits still can know
The agonizing pangs of human woe.
To their affiifted bosoms whisper peace
And bid the poignancy of sorrow ccafe,
Shew them the dangeis of a longer flay,
Snares that infect, and woes that 11-cw the Way
Tell them that guilt might even tby bosom stain
And form the basis of feveier pain :
S *3ff are the tears for innocence that fall;
'Tis guilt alone that brings unrr.ingJed gall !

Newport, R. I. 2d 3d month, 1757.
JlI. Condorcet's ReJleSiotis on the EngHjl
Revolution of 1688, and that of France,
on the 10th of Augufl, 1792.
£Continued from No. 134, and concluded.'
WE tell the English, the Dutch.
the Swiss, the Swedes, the in
habitants of the Imperial cities, and thof;
fubjefh of the princes of the Empire, whe
have ft ill preserved forne franchifes, as wel
as the various nobles who reside in the
States of Hungary, Audria, and Bohe
mia, that our cause is theirs, and that the)
cannct support the maxims of the Empe
ror and the King of Pruflia without abju
ring all their rights, and consecrating
themfelvcs to servitude.
" There are two species of free conftitu
tions in exillence, or at least having ch':
forms of freedom.—The firft, like those ol
a part of the United States of America,
have one single prin iple of decision, by
which all questions on which judgment
nuift be pafled, and all affairs in which
public fafety requires an affcive part (hould
be taken, are necefTai ily brought to a con
clusion.
" The other, on the contrary, like the
Enghfh conftitntion, has a double or a tri
ple principle of dtcifion. According to
this, nothing less than the agreement of all
the powers to which the right of deciding
is confided, can produce a final determina
tion, and the want of agreement between
these independent powers, can flop the ac
tivity of the social Ivl'tem,
" If constitutions like this have been the
result of the ancient cultoms of a nation—
if at the moment in which they have assu
med a regular form, those to whom they
gave a right of acting in contradiction to
the will of the people, have had the pru
dence never to practice this right ; if, in-
Head of an unity of principle established by
law, tl.eir policy has fubftitutcd another,
(as in England for example) the maxim ol
never refilling the two Houses of Parlia
ment, and of never a£ting in contradiction
even of one of them, except on Extraordi
nary occasions, when the majority is weal;
and appears not to;accord with the national
will, then, indeed, such coiiftitutions may
continue for a long time without exciting
tr ,übles.
" But if, on the contrary, the habit o!
d lguifing an efTentialand radical vice (houlc
not prevail 5 if in a firft attempt those whe
exercised a negative right over the repre
fentatives of the people, have abused that
right ; if the nation has been informed ol
the inconveniencies and dangers resulting
from this combination of independent
powers, then such a constitution cannot
but be fatal to the tranquility and the
freedom of the citizens; Then unity of
principle becomes an cfFential condition ol
the social fyfttm, and the na'ion would be
ixpofed to proreed from revolution to re
volution,till it ffiould arrive at the necefTarv
fimpbeity; because it could no longer nil
fatisfied with pofleffing it in fait, as
prcfent in England ; for it cos.ld never
fuppoie itftlf secure, unless she principle
were eftabbflied bylaw.
" 1 bus the unfortunate attempt made
in trance, to form a constitution with .1
double principle, has rendered its continu
ance impossible. This, enlightened men
foretold, but their counsel* were rejected,
1 he person to whom the dangerous right
of opposition was «ntrufted, as might have
been forefeen, beheld in this right the
means only of suspending the adtivity ol
the two powers, of betraying them with
impunity, and by the aid of the constitu
tion, todeftroy freedom.
" From this t me, therefore, foreigr
powers may contemplate France asdirefted
to the future by one united will; and that,
in her external connections, (lie can hav;
no other motive for adVon, but tha' o:
uifety and prosperity. All States, what
ever their government, from the Kings o<
Sardinia and Naples, to the Republics o
Basle and Zurich, from the Dukes of S:ix
:>ny and Wirtembcjg, to the cities o
Hamburgh or of Franckfort, ought it
-onfider trance as the only barrier, ovei
the whole continent, which can be oppo
fed to the coalition of great monarchies
and the sole guarantee of the independenci
of in lerior powers.
" Mean time all ideas of a fadkion npar:
from the nation itftlf, of a will of the peo
pie of Paris diftintt from that of the de
partments, all the chimeras credited b\
[he court of the Thuillerie's, and of in'
triguing parti fans, who call themfclves con
Ititutional, all the fables, under the guid
v?.ce of which Louis XVI. condudiec
his double conspiracy, no longer cat
deceive any man ; and Europe cannol
but be convinced, that Russia and Au
hia alone have an interest in troubling
France; that the King of Prussia is the
iupe of that ambition with which they have
nfpired him, and that his fafetv, like that
if the other independent States of Europe.
;s connected with the preservation of the
po . er of France, which cannot be deitroy
eJ without dragging after it in its fall the
fovereignty and freedom of all other nati
311 S.
" Such is the point of view in which
the revolution of the 10th of August can
not fail to be seen by men capable of re
(kdlion, whatever may be their country
and their principles.
" Whoever wilh not to pass under the
yoke of Catharine, Francis, or William,
all who hope to preserve their property, li
berty, and some little honor, independent
Df their gracious will and pleasure, ought
to combine with the French nation, and
universally to unite in opposition to that
tile swarm of marauders, who under the
name of French emigrants, have spread
falfliood and corruption through foreign
countries. What ! can the heroes who
have served under Fredrick the Great,
Dau'n, and Laudun, defcetid to be thr
'ile instruments of Calonne, Breteuil, and
Bouille, alternately fattened by the blood
Itieaming from their negroes, and the in
irigiies of miftrefTes and ministers, in, the
profits of which they partook ?
"Will the Prussian nation perfill in
naking war on the French, who considered
.in alliance with Prussia as a means of ef
:aping the snares laid by the court of Louis
XVI ? A war made in favour of that very
court which refufed this alliance, and fa
criiiced the interest of France and the fafe
ty of Prussia to the ambition of the house
of Austria ? How can the European pow
e'f, who have acknowledged the Prince of
Orange as the fubititute of James 2d. dif
npprove the elediive council that has been
fubllituted to the King of the French :
Why cannot the French nation ast rela
tively to Louis XVI. as the United Pro
vinces of America have adted with respect
to George 111.
" Let us suppose that the French will
form a constitution founded on pure equal
ity; that this constitution, proposed by a
national convention in conformity to the
will of the people, should be fully adopted
by the nation ; that no hereditary rights,
no personal inviolability, no predominating
power, dangerous to liberty, fully this con
stitution, nor oblige it to invent a counter
poise, an opposition of power to power
deltiudlive of simplicity and the operations
of government ; that the expression of the
National Convention will become one;
tint no refinance can impede it; that the
people themselves appoint their own re
presentatives, and that sage precautions
prevent any inconveniencies which might
an'fe from these two lait inllitutions ; will
the powers of Europe then refufe to ac
knowledge us as a&ing for the nation, be
caule we (hall have rigorously followed tlu
iiiimmutahle principles of natural right:
If so, they mull avow, by their conduct.
that the principles which are true in Ame
nca, are falfe in Europe ; and that tlu
fartie maxim is true or falfe, criminal oi
virtuous, according as their insidious po
licy requires."
