Fronthe Centinel of Freedom.
THE government of this country, it
a government of opinion—and noth,
ing is more essential to its support,
than that the people should fairly un

of those men to whom the administra
tion is committed. A free enquiry,
and an honest animadversion on the
condud of men in office, is bothpro
per and necessary ; without which,
the pureQ principles would be forgot
ten, and -of course our rights and Wb
erties would be in danger of being
wrested from us. There is, however,
a great diftin&ion between fiee en
quwy, 'honeft animadversion, and wik
'ful misrepresentation and vile calum

; enquiry, tor can calumny and, abuse
alifts, would come into the open field
of reason, and confine themselves to
truth, it would be then a pleasing talk,
for the republicans to meet them.
But when they entrench themselves
behind such wrerched beings as Cab

piece to propagate the grofleft falfe.

in our country, for them to dilfemin

like a malignant fever, their libels can
have no other effect than to hold the
mind in suspense for a few days;
when truth appears, it flies like the
morning dew. Nothing remains nec
essary but for the reflecting mind to
enquire who is the person who is ex
citing these discontents : and if upon
enquiry, they are found to be persons
who have once and again attempted
to deprive us of our liberties, let them
be viewed as traiterous foes to the in
dependence of their country. That
we have such men among us cannot
be denied ; even John Adams, the
high-priest of their party, has said that
republicanism is a vague word, and
means any thing or nothing—and that
the British government is the wisest
fabric of human invention. Tories

"Senators,
“ The life of aCitizen belongs

me the duty of maintaining the
f stem of the Laws and infti

my efforts, by your co-opera

of the Conftitued Authorities,
and by the confidence and will
of this immerife People, the
Liberty, Equality, and Prosper

be secured from all the accidents
which arise from the uncertain

they deserve, be the most happy,
and their happine^ shall con
tribute to that of all Europe.
" Content with having been
called by the order of him from
whom every thing emanates, to
bring back upon the earth Jus

shall hear my last hour found
