The following are the remarks of another valn.
able correfpondwnt, and "coincident with our pre*
sent fubjett—'We have seen how the English gov
ernment, which, influenced by avarice and ambi
tion, has been multiplying the woes of mankind
throughout the world, vainly Imagined to estab
lish its baleful influence in America. It forced ns,
at out own expense and r&, to emigrate, and fet
tle in a savage wilderoefs ; to roam the didauce
of thousands of miles over the Atlantic, from
bomb, from friends, in quett of civil and religious
ligious liberty ; and then Teo fuccefsfully puv-
Cued us with its engroffiag schemes. It pursued
us till it loft the advantages which it might, by a
wife and virtuous policy, have obtained. Our
good sense was for a while deceived. Ought we
not to have opposed the views of that govern
ment, after the peace,—to have kept it at a dis
tance intlead of courting its friend (hip, or embib
ing its spirit ? Is it not become fully evident that,
nad we not been milled by its artifices, and en
gaged ourselves more closely to it by treaty, and
the derilidtion of the friendly Gallic power, many
evils would have beenCvuided, many dire calam
ities of the European world, and other regions,
would have been prevented ? But, through divide
interposition, the feenes are changing. Know- 1
ledge increases, mighty in the force of truth ; and
feelingly is it perceived, it mull and will prevail.
Mankind are become greatly enlightened in the
knowledge of the nature and ends of government,
of the true interests of society. The diflinclious
formed by pride and ambition, luff and avarice,
are vanishing. The nations are shaking off the
fetters of both civil and religious tyranny. In
America exists a system of government free from
all the errors and inconsistencies of that of the En
glish, both in its formation and efficiency, and ef
teftiug a far greater happiness, with a far greater
degree of credit, and a small expense. The pow
er and efficacy of this fyfleni is evidenced by its
uniting a country immensely extenfive,and by call,
into office those only who have the requisite quali
fications, to the exclusion of all otters. By so
wifely formed a fyflem Americans counteracted
^nd defeated the British machinations, and egab
lifhed her independence. The wisest policy directs
them to those changes in office which are mod con
ducive to their fafety and the increase of political
knowledge and virtue. The following lines from*
a distinguished writer, are worthy of being wrote
n letters of gold—" Rotation in office is the of
fence of republicanism—by keeping the people
more on a level, disposing them to purfoi's of in
dustry inflead of making a trade of the public fer
vice—diffusing a knowledge of office more gene
rally an)ong the citizens—producing final fettle,
merits—difeorering frauds and counteracting fa
voritifm=-the propriety of having a republican
government admiuillered by republicans rather
than by monarchies, by the friends of America ra
ther than of any foreign country ; and, in fad,
the keeping awake and in action, the power and
energy of so many minds, leads to improvement
in fyflem, fidelity in practice, general habits of vi
gilance among the people.—With so many politi
cal advantages to society, with so strong a claim
ofjuflice to individuals, and with the plain and
evident proposition, that all who contri rate to
the support of government, and are qualified,
ought to (bare in the offices thereof in common.
Fhe cause for difmiffion is fufficient, that they have
had their (hare?"—A truly good man will cheer
fully yield to one more capable ; and will be es
teemed and honored. Good men seek not their
own hopor ; but are ready to prefer one another,
that the general interest may be molt effectually
served. Such is the glory true Americans Seek—
the happiness and ^lory of their country, ard the
bell interests of mankind ; not their own private
emoluments. 1 have, before me, Some lines of
poetry, v rote to rhe honor of America, which I
here tranftribe as worthy of your attention, as
they are of being preserved from oblivion. They
were composed by Dr. George Berkely, when Iff
was in this country near 80 years ago.
The muse difgufled at an age and clime
Barren of ev'ry glorious theme,
In diflant lands now traits a better time.
Producing JubjeCts worthy fame.
In happy climes, where from the genial fun,
And virgin earth such jeenes enfae,
& The force of art by nature feerns outdone,
And fancied beauties try the true.
In happy climes, the Jeats of innocence.
Where nature guides ana virtue rulest
Where men Jhall not impale for truth and sense
The pedantry of courts and schools;
There Jhall Ce seen another gulden age.
The rife of empire and of arts,
The good and great inspiring epic rage ;
The wifefl heads and nobleji hearts.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay ;
But as she bred when frefh and young;
When heavenly flame did animate her clay ;
By future ages Jhall be feng.
Westward the course of empire takes its way ;
The four firjl alls already past.
Afifth Jhall cl<fe the drama with the day :
, Time's noblejs of spring is the loft.
