Richmond December 4. mo.
FOR THE ENQUIRErT
Query. If the Federal*Party were in
flower, how would they have held the reins
of government ?
'1 lie Federalists are for ever complaining
of tint misconduct of our rulers.-Now, it
would be curious to enquire, in what way
(hey would have managed better ; how tficy
would have steered the vessel of State_—
and in what port we should now have found
ourselves, if they had been at the Heim._
A slight comparative sketch of what we
ourselves have dune and what they would
have done, will pet haps enable us* to de
c»de be»ter upon the justness of their com
plaints.
Judging, indeed, from what thev have ac
fuallv done, when they were in power, the
language of censure seems to come, with a
very ill giace, from their lips. It it be po
litical purity alone that gives 'he privilege
of complaint, these men would be doomed
to the silence of ihe grave If “ he that is
without sin,” is to cast die first stone ; and
it no man is to see the moat in his neigh
bor’s eve, without first plucking the beam
| from his own ; there ..would be '• no health”
in them. They have sins enough upon their
heads to g ig them for ever. -1 am much

..- wuiujmt ismi ut wnat
hua been done by them and by the ruling
party respectively in flower, would no? be
calculated to damp the zeal of far more im
maculate or less resolute critics, than these
gentlemen.
The reins were in their hands, for several
years. AVhat benefits did they render, dur
ing their auspices ?
They increased the public debt, S 3,322,*
510. 42 cts.
They loaned S 5,000.000 at 8 per cent.
They extended, in the mean time, the
sphere "f taxation.
They laid a duty on Salt.
I hey levied an F.xcise on carriages,
snuffs, refined sugar, and domestic distilled
spnits.
l Hey levied a stamp duty and a land
tax
They trampled on the constitution, by the
establishment of a national Bank, by Alien
j and Sedition Acts
I liey subjected the unfortunate Alien
to the merciless disetetion of the Presi
dent.
1 hey struck from our hands the sacred
A£gis, that guards our Liberties ; the free
dom of the Press
1 hey saddled us with a host of midnight
judges-they attempted to enshrine their
sinking cause on the bench of justice, and to
check the responsible representatives of the
people by an irresponsible judiciary
1 hey set up badges nl distinction among
us“—they had their sign and countersign,
their watchwords and cockades ; they at
temp ed tonne us by cries of suspicion and
proscription-and to silence all opposition
totheir measures by “the reign of terror.”
They set up tne ridiculous cry of French
Influence-and denounced the best men
i in the nation as jacobins, emissaries, elisor*
| ganizers.
Hitt they overshottheir mark. The peo
I pie Were not yet ripe lor their sickle. They
carried every thing with too high a hand—
a wise anti sober nation v’ere startled by
| the violence of their steps, and calmly pot
them down. They were weighed in the
I balance and found wanting: their “ kingdom
i was numbered,” and taken from them.
The reins were then transferred to other
! hands.
They repealed the Alien Act.
I liey hallowed the Freedom of the Press.
1 hey broke up the batch of midnight jud
ges-yet the courts were adequate to the
wants of the nation.
1 hey abolished the duty on stamps, and
on land, and all the odious machinery of the
F.xcise.
They had recourse only to a Loan of
g 1,500,000 at aix per cent_imposed on '
them by a crisis as extraordinary, as it was!
embarrassing.
They have paid nflf g 34.796,000 of the j
principal of the public debt.
I hey have acquired the island of New
Orleans, the territory of Louisiana and the
sole right to the Mississippi and its tributa'
ry streams.
For five years, every thing went on smooth

Peace smiled at home ; Commerce unforlei
her sail to the most distant breeze ; the Art:
began to flourish ; and federal fanaticism ti
despair, tor wantot materials for misrepre
sen tat ion and abuse.
But there arose a new order of things
which neither wisdom could predict, nor re
solution evade. France extended her powei
over the land ; and England, to use her owr
proud language, became “the mistress oi
'he Seas.” 1 he battle of Austerlitz led
Bonaparte to hope that the Continental Sys
tem might prove effective against his ene
my ; that he might banish her commerce,
so essential toiler prosperity, from the con!
tineut ; and therefore, the Decree of Berlin
was promulgated. England, under the
filea of retaliation, declared all the p >r s
within the influence of her enemies, under
blockade, i lie law ol Na'ions w is in every
f espect violated—toe, the greatest neutral
on the globe, could not expect to escape the
shock—our rights were infringed ; England
dared once nunc to exact tribute from us ;
and otir rights were too shamelessly violat
ed to permit us to remain inactive Our
wish was to preserve Peace; and we scorn
ed submission We therefore flew to the
r*. m K~ rn.a ... »..M E —i.
-----6~ - • • wv.01 tt'icrnailve r.g unst
both. But the opposition of the Feder dists
proved oo successful; and after passing
through a variety of scenes, the storm in
Europe still pelting on our heads and the
fury ol federalism s*ill striking down the
shields which we hud raised, a mote aus,
picious morn at length appears to break up
on ns. trance has revoked her obnoxious
decrees—and England must either rescind
her Orders or encounter that resolution
which promises success against a single foe
1 he services which have been done bv
the republicans, are therefore their own—
they are the fruits of the good principles
winch the) have imbibed. 1 lie evils which
we have suffered, are not the faults of our
rulers, but ot the times—they spring out of
the great convulsions, which have agitated
the old world. But the shock would certain
iy have been much less, had the wise mea
suresofour rulers been suffered to take their
course, unchecked by the ceaseless oppositi
on of the federalists—who now reproach us
with the ill success, which they have them,
selves provoked.
So much then for the use, which each of
us has made of the power, when in our
hands—&surely this sketch is not calctila
ted to give them any right to reproach u"s
tor our own sins. Yet let us see what these
gentlemen would have done, had the reins
been, all this while, in their hands. It is
not, indeed, easy to lay down a whole chart
ot this description ; because, we cannot
presume that events would have turned oUt
precisely under their auspices as they have
done under the republican administrations,
xel it is easy to lay down a chart for eve
ry particular state of things which has
transpired-for we may judge. in part
trom the principles which they have pur
sued, while in power, and from those which
they have professed, when out of it. For it
is a lair presumption, tha. a man would do
what he tells another, is rignt It is then
fair to drgue, from what thes<- gentlemen
have said, to what they wou dhuve done.
Hail die reins then been in their hands,
the nation w.mld have been still saddled'
wuh the sedition acts, with internal and
excise duties; for they not only created this
system but opposed i-s abolition The con
solution too would have b;’en waste parch
ment; and State Rights the mere creatures
of their boumy.
The midnight judiciary would have been
Li- mly entrenched ; and fresh allies culis,
led to protect federal principles.
They would have seized New Orleans
at the bayonet’s point ; and entangled us in
a wai with Spain, at a considerable
sacrifice Of filnorl nnrl irpQtiifA ;*««.*. . • c
acquiring New Orleans, Louisiana and the
Mississippi by a peaceable purchase of IS
millions more than 3 $ of which went to
indemnify our merchants.
When the late great storm arose in Eu
rope ; and French edicts and British orders
burst upon us, they would not have flown to
an Embargo as their refuge-nor would
they have resisted by arms, because they
have uniformly combatted every means of
oppnsi ion. They would have done nothing
against G. Britain ; but submif to hei Or
ders Our vessels and seamen would have
become the prey of British rapacity_and
a uiuiue Fastened upon onr necks.
In lieu ot opposition, we should probably
have linked our cause with her’s ; and at
this moment been entangled in an alliance
offensive and defensive.——Surely, we
should not suffer her. the •• great shield”
of the Uniied States against France, and of
oppressed humanity against the universal
conqueror, to fall, or to struggle without our
aid. Her interests are our interests, and
her cause ought to be our cause. Such is
the federal text.
When the revolution broke out in Spain,
they would have mingled in the contest, pro
voked the resentment of France, taken sides
with Ferdinand 7th. received Dm Ohif as
hisenvoy, and at this moment stood in the
very Indicrons situation of entertaining the
rep. estimative of the good city of Cadiz a
lone.
Proscription would have run through the
land-——the worthiest men in the nation
would have been attempted to be hunted
down-And Jefferson, Madison and Smith
been struck at, as the first victims.
They have lately spoken bitterly about
I* rcncti spies and emissaries_Moreau is
a spy--lleiibell is a spy—and Lucien Bn_
nap me. it ever he should touch our shores,
will be the finest s'alkmg horse for their
suspicions. l ie alien law would, therefore,
have been in force. Frenchmen ami Irish
men would have been driven from our shores,
and British emissaries and lories would have
reigned the Lords of the Ascendant,
But from all rh« se abuses, thanks to the
good sense of the people, we have b -en hap
l»ily delivered. The reins are in the hands
of rulers, who have never wilfully violated
the constitution, dissipated the public money,
nor bent their necks beneath foreign infl i
ence and insult. All their wisest schemes
arc. indeed, thwarted by those very men
v’ho have Inst the confidence of the nation.
These will never forget •• the ficslupoia of
Egypt nor forgive the party who turned
them out ol office. Mortified revenge, goad
ing ambition and British partiality, are the
greatest bars to our prosperity. Satan is
not the onlv one on rtcnnl, who would “ ra
thcr reign in Hell, than sei ve in Heaven.”
