The events of Europe seem to corroborate
the opinion that liberty will prevail in foite
of all oppofitioh. The late news that lias
been received, proves that the enemies of
France and of liberty cannot succeed in their
monarchical plans, nor be able to arrest the
general progress of political emancipation,
which the state of Europe have exhibited
for tweifty years past. 'lmportant victories
have been gained by the French, and not
withstanding the united opposition which has
been made against the Republic of France,
it appears,even at this late moment, and
with all the pressure ofmisfortunes and tax
esupon them, that they are perfectly able
to combat all the powers of Europe. This
Assertion is verified by part events, and Ger
many, Prussia, Russia, Holland, Spain, lta
ty arid Switzerland, and England, combine
to strengthen the aflertion. These powers,
and indeed almost all Euroqe, harve attempt
ed rhe subversion of liberty in France; but
they are farther from it at the present aw
ment than they were ten years ago. The
ill success of the monarchical powers has,
in part, difepuraged them ; and the ideathat

Watch-Tower,
Col. LTON\ LETTER
TO THE LATE
President Adams.
City of Washington, March 4, i^or.
5, minutes before 1 o'clock, A.M.
Felfow-Citizen,.
FOUR years ago, this day, you became Prefr
deirt of the United States, and I a Representative
of the people in Congress ; this day has brought us
once more on a level ; the acquaintance \ve have
had together entitles me to the liberty 1 take,
when you are going to depart for Quincy, by and
with the content and advice of the good people of
the United States, to bid you a Hearty-farewell:
This appears to me more proper, as I am going
to retire, of my own accord, to the extreme west
ern parts of the United States, where 1 had fixed
myfelf an afyltim from the perfecotions of a party
the most base, cruel, affirming a^d taitblefs, that
ever diferaced the councils of any nation. That
party are now happily humbled in “ dust and
ashes, before the indignant frowns of an Injured
country," but their deeds never can be forgotten.
Jn (his valedictory, 1 propole without further
ceremony, to bring to your View, a retrofpell of
your public conduct during the lad four , ears. In
doing this, I shall not trouble you or myfelf with
the fair promises in your inauguration speech, nor
those three volumes, in which is displayed your leva
of royalty and Great Britain. Your early endea
vors to involve thi, country in an endless war, &
draw forth her resources on the fide ot monarchy
against republicanism, forms a trait in your hifto
ry which much more decrees my notice. Your
firft speech to the sth Congress, containing
groundless innovations, that C. C-Pinckney was
authorized to difeufs and investigate the demands
of the French nation for redrels, of what they cal
led grievances, presaged your retirement—and
when looking over that speech Ikg you to reflect
on the base manner in which you abused Mr.
Monroe, and the French government, hecaufe he
had according to his inllruClions, cultivated 3
good understanding with that government ; and
on your childifli nonsense about dividing the peo
ple from the government. I hope, Sir, you are
not pa ft blushing at What a School boy would be
ashamed of. The people of this country can ne
ver be divided from the government ; you have
bro't yourfeff into hatred and contempt with
them, but they never could be induced to view
you and your executive officers, as the govern
ment—No ; The government they love aud re
fpeft & have accordingly put it ihto better hands.
You will now have leisure, fir, to look over your,
fecund speech to the fame congress, when 1 hope
you will recollect how you Swelled and flrut
ted when you were abating the nation you were
hypocritically pretending to make up differences
with,
Look at the lift of laws which you fandioned
that session, giving new and unconstitutional pow
ers to yourfelf. You will have time to review all
the fulfome addresses to you from a misguided
multitude; I will not pretend to describe the sen
sations they will produce when you refled how
they buoyed up your pride, flattered your vanity,
and persuaded you the day was approaching and
nigh at hand, when an hereditary crown would
be offered you. Read over your answers, Sir,
which invoked pwre and more addresses, un
til the whole fibre of the folly and Sycophancy of
our country became exhausted: Pitiful indeed
must be your feeling in palling home through the
new democratic Rate, New-Jersey, which former
ly so copiously fterr.ifhed you with piping hoc
addresses every morning for breakfafl ; the Ser
vility of a few of their abandoned citizens Studied
your palate & changed the cookery of the dish of
terdr than your kitchen Servants. Should you flop
at Philadelphia how melancholy must it Seem hi
you ; Mc'Pherfon's band of cockade boys are dis
persed or grown up into democrats; no federal
mobs there now to ting Hail Columbia, and huzza
for John Adams,and terrify your bp]x>fers I Hop
kinton's lyre is out of tune, Cobbett and Litton
are gone, the Quakers are forthe living president
and your old friend Joe Thomas 1 am told can
Scarcely find duds to cover his nak^dneSs. I am
surprised you did not brake him a judge.
I beg pardon for this digression but let me ad
vise you to take water at the federalcity and land
at the nearell port to Quincy, the condolence of
your old confederates, all along from this to
Quincy, and the silent contempt of the multitude,
will be too hard lor yen to bear, so soon after
your fall, and may deprive you of the liltle reason
you have left.
Bnt to return to the review of yot;r admmiflra
tion as refye& ydur endeavors to plynge the na
tion into all the horrors of war, after you found
that the X, Y, and 2, fabrications ^ "° 1 blind
the people Sufficiently to their own interest ; and
after you found France would not ft provoked
by you to a declaration of wur; that tliey bird
prudently overlooked alj your btlllyingrhapfodies
