n:.T f M U: lily, b. come a party in the confederacy of
•'-■fpot?? a gain'd Liberty, and have furrendered the
r gins i f an independent nation inuf the hands of
Lrituin. We have become her colonies in
tha r.oi i:; orm, and our honor and our inte
ii us, our gratitude and our liberty ate placed tin
it her guardianIhip. The Treaty formed with
Fiance in'the hour of danger and adverlity, when
the heavy i loads of tyranny had daihcncd our hnr
fir on, And were ready to burll upon our lt«ud:, his

'gainll which every arm Humid hav. been l ervfd,
and every mind electrified with af it.-vr. r.?.*, is to

the nvi/den and pJi.y of our Ad mini ft rat ion, nay, its
f-atri'Aijtn too, will receive a full exposition from the
Treat\ itli If-—now the ‘vind.c.itLn oj cur iKj.’i -with

the adjujh:; ofrur tompKnntt will exhibit i'll. !* in all

our country, which was :o a: l, if nor d . c. i , me n< n>
ciatiou will Hand unma!k*-d, and prompt f.nfatious
at which confeieuce /hould it art ha. k with horror.
Let us, my fallow-citizens take a view-of this ini
mitable ba.mltug—its royal charms will fmooih its
coitJrH-Utc'-r1 deformity, and enamour ns into an ol li
v'oii of violated rights and ufurped authoritv. We
were tickled with the high profpects of commercial
advantage which we vvue to derive from our intcr
courfe with the Britifh Wed-Indies—let ns view the
article upon which thole profperrs are bottomed,
and they i«y, whether the man who cc.dd cfl'.-nr t.t
fuvh terms c:m poflibly he confidertd as the friend
ct tfiis country. — We ihall be ?ir liberty to irede to
hie Britannic M.iiefty's poiTei'siot s in «).** Weil.Indies
in vellds ni>t exceedingand bring Hon
thence the produce ot'ihofe Jilancls ; hut we lhall
not tie permitted to export fit gar, rff.r, eaten, moJof
fi'i or cotton, navy pan of the «uw/«/. This article
roOs us, at a blow, of ilie carrying trade, and de
prives us of the privilege of expo mm; Weil.India
produce, although imported from other id md—
N iy, there is nut an t: cepiiim in fav or of cotton,
the growth of our own coumrv ; and it is well
known, that we export cotton horn fotne ol the
Southern cii-tes ton coniidcrnhlc amount. Does
not this arii«.le juftify the opinion, tint we hate
again become the Cohn in of Great Britain ? Does it
not give r.lc to a btlief, that the man who put Itis
lc.,1 to it could not be the friend of Amer en ? The
arc with w hich it is inm; pa rated v/irh the other
articles of the i real)’excepting tile lirj’t ten. thovvs
that cither this was to he accepted, or the whole
r.mft totter, and rather than fucli'an immaculate
conception ihould be in embryo, we have ac
cepted the Treaty with a moll extraordinary provi
tion.
You will fee, Fellow-Citizens, that the Treaty
in >11 its parts is prohibitory upon America—You vs ill
dilcover that the United otates were an if a-hr party
in ihe contract, and iliac when his JJrirannic M \
j. Itv only permits and ctrfents, we agree and are bound
— You will lee France pointed at, tho’ not literally
ciefignated, and every provilion that can pofsihly
militate agaiulc her, folemnly liipulatci1—You will
fee her exc luded from renewing the bonds i f good
will which unite the Prop]c ofboih emir'lies, and
whiv.li i:ie had profered to renew, v.lien Great Bri
tain was plotting againlc our liberty and peace—
You will lee our country degraded, and throwing
iilelf upon the mercy of a.Bi uilh Tyrant.
Under thefe circum dances 1 alk, nay i demand of
yon, fellow citizens, whether the Resolution w .ta
defigned to rid ourlelves of a foreign to eftablifh a
doineitic tsranny ? Whether it was for the bent-fit
of :t !e People, or to aggrandife a lew’ individu
als ? i lie tpieliior; is in time and place; for if any
individual among us can purfue the dictates of his
own feelings or his own whims at the cxpcine of
t he molt <oicin n a ml farred covenant, and in contra*
, diction to the unrvcrfal vo're of a whole People,
then have we overturned foreign to m \ • room for
