RICHMOND,
TUESDAY. Januart 15, 1810.
HKY QUIRKS and QUIDDITIES.
A man of common sense would suppxe.
after lie conduct of Great Britain towards this
country, that die lex talionis would justify any
sort of reasonable resistance to her insul's.
But the ideas of the tories on this head are
• very -diflerent.
Docs she impress our seamen, and 5s a demand
for redress made ? Take care, cry the tories,
f don’t ta'k to her in that etyte, if y>u want to
gc* any satisf'ac ion.
Does she seize our vessels and confticate our
merchandize, and are complaints made io her
for satisfaction ? The admin's ration are all
wrong, say die {ories—the tone should be lour
er—the lcy is ,oo hi-'h- <
Does she kill a citizen in onr own watars ?
Be easy, rear tile tories **ie easy, or you’ll
get no Uingr—the administration must not be
so saucy
Docs she attack a national friga'e inti.niof
peace, murder a part of thecre.v a id ciiti.
vate ano her part ? Now, be cal o, for Oil’s
sake be cahn, prs&cti the tories—le ’s argue
the poiutj let’s not go to war—let's reason a
bout it.
la an arrangement made with her accredit
ed minister, and does site wantonly violate i?
■ ‘Sue had aright to do so, quoth the tor.es —
why complain ? if you complain yi i’ll affro.t
Great Britaint=s*so. take core, t ike care !
Is her minis er dismissed fur his repeated in
solence ? There! cry die lories, tfte^ei you’ve
done it now ; now you’ve mortally, o'.feu Ipd his
miejy ! Ah! die Lord kno as wuat will be~
come of the country ns-v, nothing wiH do
but to send and ask pardon
Such, .ram time «o time has been the shuf
fling, quirking, quibbling language of t.ie to
ries or Writ.shfaction ntha U :«ta es. from the
beginning to the end* of English outrages up
on us. Let Grea Britain do as she w-ll—te
ller impress, capture, a*-nek, and m irder us,
, the cy of lie l ines is be calm, be easy, t ike
the name of »>od is i»u scene of degradation
neve.-10 end .? If i cannot end without war,
why then let war coma, for we cannot fa*e
worse lliau we do at presenv during the blood*
dies war.
* 1'docs not sccon altogj her so proper to use
the word * s a," J0r in truth, there s.r:nt to be
no end 'othem.
ENGLAND AND FR YNCS.
T*nc lory pape's are trying to sec n,> an ar
gumem o'.'par.iali.y *n the presiden- fur France,
because lie h..s said so much aboil England in
Ins message :.nd so little aooiu rrauce. Tne
effort is as weak as it is wick • 1.
Our differences with Engia-i l are of long
dura.ion, deeply offensive and injur ous to the
U States, and on the par. of G Brita n highly
* flagran- in relation to die attack on the Chesi.
peaiir A-id Gr at Britain lias prevaricated
1‘iul deceived us so much and sjuu fo. m'v that
» is .11 longer puss ble, from her corrnVp »a
dence with us ti ascertain prec aely what she
would be at or what she would or would dot
agree to. Therefore, there was a necessity
for the president to dwell sumo lone upu i the
t >pic» of odence from that nation.
Frapce lifts cu* matters short in Ch»mpagnv*s
letter, so iiat w* now u ulcrsta\l wnat B i
napsrte will do and what he w II not do He
has g ven certainty t and there is no equiv icu..
lion at l«ras , in- Ills declarations. Hiving o
penly avowed his doctrines,without circum
i .ou ion, it was o ily necesi.i y for the presi
tlewt simply to re'ey to Cia.a agny*ii letier.
The thii.g speaks for itself.
'! IIE TRUE POINT.
The shallow cunning of the tory prints is
*n contemptible in some insUnc-s, tint
they arc hardly wor-h attending t*, and if
ft were not that tney have & certain eff et
upon uoiiifoT mod m uds they would no: be
attended to. Thoy hvve been lately aver,
r.ng tbit goverunen: is going to wiron
.a :Coan*.of a quarrel with a minister of Ci.
Rntain. Who Will believe so stypid an
asse rtion ? The olfftice of Jiuks m w is
gross enough, ttul/e- iut the caus.-, the inu
mediate cause oiwar (if it dues hipp.Mi) u
this——
r THE ATTACK ON THE CHES
APEAKE.
That outrage, every Oily know*, if no
atoned for by Great Britain, is good, law.
ful, and honorable cause of war It has
not been atoned for—atonement is refuse
—the mock offers of repara ion add to the
outrage—me delay in giving siWaci.nn,
•d.-li to the iujury-s-and, if propsx atone,
ment is not irtado Wfchin a re tsonable time,
no administration cauli pias.tiy avoid a..
\enging the foul deed D ire even Hie ti
tles con rovert th*s doctrine ? We h vpe
England m-iy atone in time, and the nation
be preserved from war.
- TORY BOTHERATION.
The great effort of t >e tories is to
bother, winch ii to confuse the sub
jecta of political discussion. Ti m
whet? trie republicans say, prep ire f»r
wtr, the tories s iy we want w.ir
JlVant war? Who has ever heard oi
•ny party wanting war. N », no, gen
tlemen, we only want to prepare ; and
you know that is the doctrin; of Wish
ington ; you-may remember that it u
se 1 to be your own doctrine. H iv
the federalists not said a tho is in I, and
a thousand rimes over, that the b si wav
to avoid wards to prepare for it? To
b»: sure they have ; then recollert it
Well enough. Well, then ; the fede
ralists on this occasion will vote with
the republicans, n4t for war, because
the republicans do not want war, but
for preparation; in case they do (and
the y wi 11 d isavow their own doctrines
if they do not) the federalists and re
publicans, like honest Americans, will
go tog-ther, and the tories will be left
to themselves. We want no war, we
, c* ly desire preparation in case we
should he assailed. That’s the object,
and the botheration-men know it.
