The works or Rousseau ape in many Traces
stamped with a specie* of inspiration. His bold
and enthusiastic imagination seem* to have soar
ed into the regions ot futurity, an 1 snatched u
liasty glimpse of the times to C’.nte. He whom
the Tyrants of Europe could not awe, nor the let
ter* of Superstition repress, has ccpiaWy dared to
draw aside the mystic veil of time.— I! viler in the
following extracts, vre behold the spirit of « pro
phot—but it is the prophetic spirit of the philo
sopher, who baa deeply meditated tho order of
things, and traced chert* from their causes
A* one, who sees in the prolife germ of the seed
before him, the future plant UtxtP isnt and deve
loped.
"rhe first of these extracts is taken frnrv his
Social Contrat—but it is not in so just a spirit of
prophecy as some have imagined, it evidently
does not point to so extraordinary a man, as llo
naparte—but to the state of the island itself It
does not point to the appearance of a man, who
Would arise in that isle to rule the sceptre of
France and the destinies, of Europe but s:mply
to the rise of a political system :un«*ng themselves,
which would astonish "the world. ’ In this last
sense, <Ve prophecy is not realised by fact
Corsica has not yet astonished Europe, hr the
production of a legislator, who has given her a
wise and free system of laws ; and it is only true
in one sense, as it shows Kousfi'au’s ih»< em
inent of the spirit of a people whose manners
were capable of producing a man who wouidas
tntysh the wprld. In this passage, Rousseau is
touching the question, what people are in a pro
per state to receive laws ? After delivering his
own opinion upon it, he thus goes on :
" In the Arduous woik of legislation, It is less
difficult to know what to establish than what to
destroy; Jt —hat makes legislators succeed so sel
dom, is the impossibility of uniting the simple
Bystem of nature with those establishments which
are necessary for the welfare of Society Rut
as we rarely see all the circumstances re*hii-iite
to form a state combine together, so we seldom
find any state w« II constructed.—There is still in
this quarter of the world or-e coun*ry proper to
receive legislation; it is the island of C -rsica.
The valour and constancy \»ith which that brave
people have recovered their liberty, well deserves
to have some wive man step forw ard and Uach
them how to preserve it ; and I have a presenti
ment tliat this little island will some day astonish
all Europe.”
The other passage is much stronger in point,
t seems to IniTe been written by the pen of in
spiration itself. He is the Dnnirl or the Isaiah
that preceded the French revolution. What was
then prophecy is now hi«tory. What was on the
pages ot the “ Fmilius,” is now inscribed on the
annals of France. The descendants of those,;
who were shining in. splendor, are now compell
ed to wander in other countries, and live on the
produce of mechanical employments :
“ Adapt the situation of a man, says Rous
han, to his personal, and not accidental'abilities
I)<> not you see, that by bringing him up only to
till one station in life, you make him unfit for e
very other ? and that mere accident may render
nil the pains y ou have taken useless, or destruc
tive to him ? Is there a more ridiculous being
on earth, than a lord become a beggar, and re
twining in his misery the prejudicesattndu d to
his birth ? What is more vile and i nntethplihle
than a rich man become pom-, sensible of the
disgrace of poverty, and reduced to t!,e lowest
of the human species * The one hath no other r«
source than to turn common cheat, and the o
• tlier sevilely to put on a livery with this fine
p'-ase in their mouths, fee must live
“ You make a dependence on the actual order
>f society, without thinking that order subject
to unavoidable revolutions, and that it is impo«*'t
ble to foresee or prevent that which may affect
your children. The high may be reduced low,
.and the rich may become poor-and t ven the
monarch dwindle into a subject-Arc t; is
changes of fortune so unfirrquent.tlint you can
flatter yourself vour pupil w ill be exempt from
them ? We certainly are approaching the crisis
of human establishments, the ag. of political
•evolutions.* Who can assure jou, what will
be y our lot ? AH that men mule, they may
destroy. There are no characters indelible but
those imprinted hv nature-and nature never
bisde man royal, noble, or rich.
What then will h?come of the pupil vdv have
educated to live only with splendor, when d b .s
ed into indigence and meanness ? What will be
cme of « farmer of the revenues, whose soul de
in nothing but wealth,-when he is rcduc
>d 10 want and beggary ? IIow miserable must
be the situation of that par-.,-c-rcd, helpless be
irg, who, destitute efeve ry ti.ng, is incapable of
Providing in the least for himself, and places ail
h:.s satisfaction in things, dependent on others ?
H y js he who knows Jio\v to quit n rank that
is quitting him, and to remain still a man in spite
offai-tune! Let others lavish what encomiums
•they plea»e on the frantic behavior of the van
quished monarch, who wanted Vo bury himself a
live in the ruins of his throne ; for my part, 1
hold him in comtempt. It appears to me, that
bis existrnee depended on his crown ; ard
♦ hat, bad he not been a king, he would
h.nvc been nothing at all Rut the monarch
v ho can throw aside the rol>cs of royalty
and be still himself, is, in my opinion, infinitely
superior to a crown From the rank of a king,
which may hr tilled up by a coward, a knave, or
a fool, he rises Vo that of a man, winch so few arc
able to (ill with delicacy and dignity. Such «
m.-m mey brave the vicissitudes oi'foitune, and
will triumph over them. He owes nothing to a
m one biit himself; and though destitute of all
adventitious substance, is not therelnre annihilat
ed ; lie is Still someth.Itg Yes. 1 prefer infinitely
the character of a king of SyTacur* turned school
masttr at Corinth, ol a king of Maccdon become
a notary at Rome, to that o' an unhappy Tarqtiin
ignorant howto su'oist without a kingdom; <f
an heir to a race ol kings, become the sport ol

w andering from court to court in search ol re
lief, and meeting on every side wi»h nothing but
mockery, insult, and affronts ; and all for want of

federal, rnd the other in reality republican. In
proportion as these parties respectively prevail,
.he liberties of the people will be jeopardized or
.criiro.
It is a po'ot ton well established, tn |>e seri
ously questioned, that the founders of what is
called the federal party, hsul imbibed an early
rnd s'rong attachment to monarchy,* rnd that
•he current of their measures was directed to
that end. In the convention which firmed our
present excellent system, the then rhiet advocate
and the leader of that partv* did propose the
plan of a constitution substnnti V-’v regd. We
\ re eredihlv informed that !«• was contempla
ted the presi'Ieut and senate of the Doited States
should be chosen for life* ; and that, to tender
the state governments impotent and subservi
ent, as a prelude to their dissolution, it v as.in
tended that the people should he deprived of a
voice inthc election oT governors of slates ; and
that they should he appointed by, and depen
dent upon,the great executive of the union.
The republican party, on the other hand : is
composed of the enlightened advocates .-ml sin
cere friends of thc.cxisting constitution, t>iLrn in
connection \cith these amendments ithicli may be '■
considered justly as a charter 'of the public rights * !
! Maintaining l!ie principles, and possessing the i
spirit which produced the independence of our
ration, they have ever determined that the toils (
of the revolution, instead .»f eflerting a mere :
change of masters, should secure and perpo’ju- ’
ate the substantial lights and solid privileges of;
the people.
The federalists administered the government j
f>r the term often years. During that period, i
the utmost efforts were made to accomplish the i
cardinal design of that party. The revolution
in France wax opposed because, at that time, its j
professed and apparent object was, to cstablisi: a !
republican government; and because, 1br that
reason only, the sentiments ofthe friends ofliher
ty among ourselves, were strongly favorable to
wards it.
Hence it became determined, by those who!
had imbibed such views, to resistand tn !>lu;.f, i
the fu st buddings of the revolution in France,* |
and to unite the American government in a com- >
mon crusade against what was then believed,
the standard of the liberties of the world.
| It was wished that we should place ourselves
in the same scale with the secre t projectors of
the treaties of l’ibiitz .'mil of Pavia • j and, by
way cf affording a suitable return to a nation
who had assisted in eHec'ing our imlencndtncc
i:i less than twelve j cars become a party to her
dismemberment.
oencrai vy nMungton, wbo conducted our ar.
mi« s in the'fit-id, nt that moment presided m the
cabinet, though' assailed by federal ministers,
and.constantly exposed to their sc active mis'
representations, lus ear was open to the truth,
and his bosom swelled at the voice of freedom*
Our illustrious Washington, when president,
on the 1st of Jan. 1796, us. d these remarkable &
strikingly expressive words :
“ My sympathetic feelings, and my best wish
es, are irresistibly attracted, whens sever in any
country, I see an oppressed nation unfurl the
banners of freedom Rut, above all, the events
of th* French revolution have produced the deen
est solitude, as well as the highest admiration,
fo call your nation brave, were to pronounce
but common praise. Wonderful people ’ ages
to come will read with astonishment the history
of your brilliant exploits. I rejoice that the pe
riod of your toils, and of your immense sacrifices
is approaching.”
Mr. Adams sueecded General Washington,
and the saose arts were used to seducw the first*
which had been repeatedly exercised to dei eive
, the latter. Fora while the former was deluded,
bis suspicions raised, !or prijudicie.s excited, &
I his warmth enkindli d against t.he republicans' rj
I America. Ills prominent and confidential count
I selloro were federal, and Ik- w::s imperceptibly
i c • rried to the full length of federal measures*
Yet \y« are now to trust that his intentions were
not dishonest; and, perhaps, he was iuconsci
°usly carried into a desperate scheme; wlirli
so far from knowing, he did not comprehend —
The project of a French war was then sodesne
rately resolved upon, by those who had deter
mined to suppl .nt the presi b nt, if thov could
not absolutely controul him, that Mr. Pickering
the secretary, bad the hardihood, not to say the
| infidelity, of keeping from Mr Adams, when
■ president ol the TJ. States, the despatches fr()m
Timer, which contained the overtu: cs of the set
tlement.
I* is only our province now, for the compass of
a circular letter cannot permit us to enter into a
more minute detail, to preserve the memory of a
few material facts. 3
The federal party, then, during its ten yea's
administration, increased the public debt up
wards of nine millions and a lnuf of dollar*. The-,
borrowed nearly twenty-six millions of dollar/
and shortly before their leaving the admiaistrati
tion, they p.ud the interest, or rather the usury
of eight per cent. They introduced excise I
They introduced a stamp act. They pass'd an
Mien hill They enacted a sedition law. lit fore
they adopted the prodigality of borrowing, thcv
bail resorted to the greatest extremity of taxati
on—in addiiisn to an increasing debt, and prodi
i expenditures, they had already proceeded to
j CVPry Practicable extent of exaction. Carriage
«n-I house, and land taxes, were introduced ; and
it was perceived that measures, no strongly .-e
sembling the despotism from which we had
but recently escaped, were intended as a prelude
ton more nv. ttc I system of oppression.
Tile dangerous and violent measures of the
feo. ral admin Lration, excited the just appre
bensions of the people .- Mr. Adams himself a
bandniisd the war party; and, by a signal act of
spirited justice, dismissed Mr. Pickering from
ms councils In the year 1809, we succeeded in
our election in this state. The seme salutary im
prc.irfion pervaded the greater portion of-lie u
nion. Hepusucaiusm, after an arduous strug
gle, prevailed ; and Mr. Jeff rson, who had sir
nnbz.vl himself, not on\y by bis talents, but bv lijs
ei,cyan 1 mfl*xiM- attachment to liberty, became
elected to the presidency.
