and a useless Judiciary are no more ; that
our houses, 'lands, carriages, Rills, sales at
audion, and dotneftic industry, are refened
from the grasp of an all devouring Treasu

diminished by the difmiflion of many hun

thirst for national glory, and peace to per
petual alarms of foreign danger.
We will rejoice,
That we are redeemed from a hole of

gainft the watte of public treasure for pub
lic ruin ; againrt navies and armies ; againll
an enormous and accummulating debt, and
against the awful combination of military
despotism, in the person of a foreigner, with
foreign principles, in the hearts of Ameri
cans.- Republicanism had to contend, in its
infancy with more enemies than the man
hood of monarchy could overpower. It
has triumphed gloriously. It has over
ihrown the hoife and its rider, and we will
rejoice in its energies. ~, ,
The four years which preceeded the elec
tion of President Jefferfon, were like the
darkness which precedes the morning.
They formed a reign of terror, proscription
and violence, and the very name of republi
can was odious to every man in power. In
the dark train of public measures was a pro
vision to reduce to the condition a Standing
Army 80,000 militia ; toimport the infiru
ments of death ; to increase the import on
articles of fiiß necertity ; to build and man
ihips of war ; and millions of dollars were
(ported on these wild project as freely as if
the men in power had known the earning
of money. Envoys were sent abroad at vatt
expence in order to lay the foundation 01
dufentwns, at home, and by magic of alpha
bet to conjure up the neceflity of a Handing
army. The President was empowered to
build or procure frigates at any price ; to
borrow money at 8 per cent ; more mil
lions of money were appropriated, kingly
power given to the president ; aliens lub
feted to his will ; jails made the portion of
rhofe seditious fubjeds, who dared to quest
ion his supremacy ; the odious Stamp ACt
was parted ; our houses and lands apprized
and our windows counted ; our Rreet^infef
ted with the uniformed refufe of creation,
embodied to give iron force to the reign of
order ! and through all these measures that
maricle of human invention the Britilh gov
ernment, “ dragging its flow lenth along
in the deceitful form of, a “ defence of the
American Constitution.
We will never forget that all these terri
fic measures were to humble the friends of
the revolution ; nor will we forget that its
I —_

enemies rejoiced in and aided these measures
but that all their arts to irritate foreign na
tions were unfuccefsful. We will remem
ber that the object was to raise up privileg
ed orders, to substitute Rars and ribbons in
place of merit, and to overwhelm in the
magnitude of public debt the baseness of its
origin and all hope of its extinction. We
will remember that from the President to
the humbleß officer, contempt for republi
can government was a conspicuous charac
terillic of political merit, and that some of
our own neighbors were firft among the
foremolt to dispose of the labors of a betray
ed soldiery, and to facrifice to a succession of
jobs the rights of millions, and to take to
themselves the honors and profits, resulting
from an ingenious uniformity of political
wrong. We rejoice that of the talents, in
tegrity, wisdom, and consistency of such
men no proof remained, but their own soli
tary testimony in opposition to record evi
dence of all their measures and to the con
clusive decision of all the rest of the union.
We rejoice that from the meditated dc(tru&-
ton of our rights we were redeemed by the
exertions of our Southern brethren. In
the midst of imaginary triumphs our ene
mies were overwhelmed by a fine and sud
den deßruCiion, and we will rejoice that
the places, which once knew them, will
know them no more forever.
We will rejoice,
That President Jefferfon gained his
high office by a triumph of principle over
faction —that he entered'on its duties, pro
feffing the purest of republican principles ;
that he offered the olivebranch to his enemies
that he retained most of them in office, till
their own conduct convinced the public of
their demerits ; that he has shewn himfelf
capable of viewing the whole ground and of
administering on principles, far'elevated a
bove local prejudices or vindiaive animosit
ies ; that his measures have confuted the ca
lumny of the enemies of liberty, and that a
gainlt their falfhoods his character has flood
as a rock against the waves ; that he has fil
led the high offices of governmet with men
of unquestionable talents and integrity ; that
