*T is customary to preface &ry

JL either to denote the diffidence of

Every fifedd of feienfe, Her,

which it records ; for even at this
earl, period, the animating rays of
our nh confillation have been felt oh
the exhiaufted foil of Europe, & have
penetrated the babaroha Shades of
Africa!
Governments have been ovrirthforfa
by violence, or undermined by treach
ery ; the liandard of liberty has been
violated by the hand of defpetifm ; &
the dominion c'f the World has been
fluduating and precarictis :—But iri

proportionate. The wanton violence
of one individual, was the ground of
changing the monarchy of Rome into
a republic, and that republic was
eventually subverted by the polished
ambition of another.— Caprice influ
enced the people, as ambition urged
their leaders.— The motive and the
means of ebery enterprise were held
to becqsally juftified by the, end ; Sc
thus, however magnificent the /v,%
ftruauree have appeared, the /b^/a
tiont of ancient pevpr were seldom the

To these ilhiflratioie, rhe Lilic;,
of mederii times has added the force of
h/igimdiigQtry upon the unculuvat. ,
ed mind ;—and perhaps the nation,
whose conduct has furnished the oc<
cation of this address, affords like
wise, the frongeft instance, how far
popular entbifafa may be converted
into apolitical inftrumeni by a Ikil*
fal impostor.
But let us thru to the more pleafa
ing cotitemplarioa of a RevoluYior
not left extraordinary in its confer
quencel; -than in the means by which
it was produced.— Those who bed
knew the filiation of America be r
fort the late conteff,will be the readi

virtues of her inhabitants.
"Dispersed throughout the immense
continent free as the wilds of nature
which furrourided them ; amid ft their
rocks, their mountains,the vast plains
pf their defers ; on the confines of
those forefts ih which all is Bill in its

traces of either the Ravery or the ty
ranny of man, they seemed to receive

It is in this ftkte, above all others,
that th^ man who enjoys liberty is
most capable to maintain it, and to
evince his jeloufy, in the defence of
