Pius Pope VII.
The disastrous designs of the foes of the Apostolical See are at length completed.
After suffering the violent and iniquitous spoliation of the fairest and most considerable portion of our dominions, we now behold ourselves deprived entirely, under unworthy pretexts and with the most grievous injustice, of all our temporal sovereignty...
No one, who professes the Catholic religion, and much less he, who presides over, and is principally bound to announce it, can displease God for the sake of pleasing men.
Bound moreover to God, and to the church to transmit our rights whole and entire, we protest against this new spoliation, and declare it null and void.
We reject with the most determined resolution the assignment of any allowance intended for us or the members of our College (of Cardinals) by the emperor of the French.
We should be overwhelmed with disgrace in the sight of the church, if we submitted to receive our subsistence from the hands of the usurper of her patrimony.
We resign ourselves entirely to Divine Providence, and to the devotion of faithful servants of God, and shall be satisfied piously to conclude the bitter career of our painful life.
We adore with profound humiliation the inscrutable designs of God. We invoke his mercy over all our good subjects who will be always our joy and our crown and after having discharged in these most distressing circumstances, our duty, we exhort them to preserve, in all integrity, their religion and faith, and with sighs and tears between the porch and altar, to unite themselves with us in supplication to the Supreme Father of lights that he would graciously be pleased to work a change in the wicked designs of our persecutors.
PIUS POPE VII.
Conclusion of the Sentence of excommunication.
PIUS POPE VII.
By authority of Almighty God, and of the Saints Peter and Paul, we declare you Napoleon Bonaparte and all your accomplices (co-operators) in the act, which you are now executing, to have incurred the sentence of excommunication; under which by our apostolical letters, cotemporaneously published and affixed at the usual places in this city, we declare all those to have fallen, who, since the forcible invasion of this city on the 2d of February, 1808, have committed the violence, against which not only our successive secretaries of state by our orders, but we ourselves have protested in two consistorial allocations (discourses) of the 16th March and 11th July, 1808...
L. S.
London, Aug. 7. We have just received Hamburg papers to the 30th ult.—Frankfurt of the 22—Berlin of the 25th—and Vienna of the 15th. The following is the substance:
Vienna, July 15. The emperor Napoleon is expected to set off for Paris to-day. Frankfurt, July 23.—Notwithstanding the armistice, the duke of Brunswick was on the 19th at Naustadt, and sent his patrols to Gotha.
Ludgarsburg, July 20.—According to reports received here of the 17th, Gen. Vandamme has broken up from Naustadt towards Graz, as the Austrian gen. Glay refuted to give up the fortress in virtue of the armistice.
Moravia, July 21.—Yesterday the headquarters of the arch-duke Charles were at Pultsche, near Loutomechel.
The emperor Francis has been in Hungary since the 9th.
FROM ITALY.
From the Baltimore Fed. Gazette, Sep. 27. By the schr. Kite, capt. Thomson, in 45 days from Naples, late and important intelligence has been received.
Capt. T. brings no papers from Italy, the cause assigned for this omission is, that he "hurried off" in consequence of accounts from Paris, of the negotiation with general Armstrong having been broken off. One report at Naples, on the 10th of August, the day before the Kite failed, was, that our minister had demanded passports to return home; another, that the peace between France and Austria had been ratified. We give these verbal accounts as they were received; so also the written accounts contained in private correspondence.
By the politeness of those gentlemen to whom they were addressed, we are obliged with the light of latest letters from Italy. Their contents from intelligent sources, are commercially important, as they state, That since his victory over the Austrians, Bonaparte is even less yielding and conciliating in his temper.
That the severest edicts on commercial topics have given them a wider range and more rigid execution. That the permission to import colonial produce was suspended; in this suspension the ports of Holland are closed, and its rigid execution is extended even to prizes, colonial produce not being permitted to enter the ports of France or her dependencies.
That latest accounts from Vienna inform of peace between France and Austria, which was so fully credited that the markets, &c. were arranged accordingly. By this arrival we further learn, that the British army under gen. Stuart, 23,000 strong had been urged by the young prince of Naples to make a descent on that city or kingdom; king Murat had about 20,000 men, but the English had not when the Kite failed, landed on the main. They had however quiet possession of the island of Ichia. This island is situated at the entrance of the bay, about 4 leagues from the city of Naples; it is about ten miles in circumference, and contains about 4000 inhabitants; it is the fee of a Bishop, suffragan of Naples. The town of Ichia is situated on a rock on the North side of the island, with which it communicates by a bridge. On this island and in Sicily, it was supposed the British army would await further intelligence from the Danube.
LATEST from ENGLAND.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 31.
We stop the press at 1 o'clock this morning, to announce the arrival, of the ship Triton, capt. Henderson. She sailed from Hull the 18th of August, and brings London dates to the 15th.
These papers contain the official particulars of the battle fought in Spain on the 27th and 28th July. The intelligence reached London on the 14th of Aug. and the Park and Tower guns were fired on the occasion—and the following official note was sent to the Lord Mayor:—
Downing-street, 14th Aug.
"My Lord,—I have the honor to inform your Lordship, that the enemy having assembled on the Alberche all his forces in that part of Spain, consisting of the corps of Victor, of Sebastiani, and of 7 or 8000 troops from Madrid, the whole under the personal command of Joseph Bonaparte, assisted by Marshals Jourdan and Victor, and gen. Sebastiani, attacked the combined armies posted at Talavera, on the 27th and 28th ult. The efforts of the enemy were chiefly directed against the British troops and I have the satisfaction to acquaint your lordship, that on both days he was defeated with the most distinguished gallantry, and compelled to retire over the Alberche, with the loss of not less than 10,000 men, 20 pieces of cannon, and 5 standards. A victory so glorious to his majesty's arms, has not been purchased without a severe loss on our part. We have to lament a severe loss of major gen. Mackenzie, brigadier gen. Longworth, and many other gallant officers who have fallen on the occasion. The total loss on both days is stated to be in killed 801; wounded 3913; missing 253.—The French generals Lupisse and Marlot are killed; generals Sebastiani and Boulet, wounded. I have the honor to be, &c."
"CASTLEREAGH."
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
A Gazette Extraordinary was published on the 15th, with the official despatches from Sir Arthur Wellesley. The surrender of Flushing was reported, but no official advice had been received.
It was reported in Spanish papers of the 31st July, that Vanegas had captured Madrid.
Sir James Saumarez's squadron had made a successful attack on Archangel and took 100 ships in the harbor, laden with tallow and other valuable commodities.
The Emperor of Austria had repaired to Campsin, to accelerate the conclusion of the negotiations for Peace. It was reported that a Congress would be held at Presburg, to settle the terms of peace.
Nothing of American affairs.
The Triton reports, that the Henrietta Charlotte, was to sail from London on the 21st Aug. for N. York.
LONDON Aug. 15.
Extract of a letter from Lieut. gen. the Rt. hon. Sir Arthur Wellesley, k. b. to lord viscount Castlereagh, dated Talavera Aug. 1.
Since I had the honor of addressing you on the 29th of July, the enemy have continued to keep a rear guard of about ten thousand men on the heights on the left of the Alberche.
The extreme fatigue of the troops, the want of provisions, and the numbers wounded to be taken care of, have prevented me from moving from my position. Brigadier gen. Crause arrived with his brigade on the 20th in the morning, having marched 12 Spanish leagues in little more than 24 hours.
FROM THE SAME—same place and date.
When I addressed you this morning, I had not received the report from the outposts. It appears that the enemy withdrew the rear guard, which was posted on the left of the Alberche last night at 11 o'clock, and the whole army marched towards Olalla, I conclude with an intention of taking up a position in the neighbourhood of Guardadema.
Letters from Holland to the 4th inst. state, that Bonaparte had issued a decree, by which all American vessels permitting themselves to be searched by British cruisers shall continue to be excluded from the ports of France, and in the mean time all American property in France has been placed in a state of sequestration. The same letters state, that Bonaparte has determined to incorporate the whole of Holland with France; and that his brother Louis is to be made King of the territories about to be wrested from the hands of Austria.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
Rio Janeiro, Aug. 3.
A Spanish vessel has just arrived here in 14 days from Buenos Ayres, with information, with the new viceroy had arrived there from Spain, and governor at Montevideo: that on the 13th ult. Liniers gave up the government quietly, and had retired on an annuity, and the rank of field marshal, in consideration of past services. Senior Elio, late governor of Montevideo, gave up at the same time. No English or neutral vessels will be allowed to enter the river without a licence from the Spanish Junta, or the Governor of Buenos Ayres—which may generally obtained here.
DOMESTIC.
PROMISSARY NOTES OF A NEW FORM.
Each revolving year brings forth some extraordinary novelty, to excite wonder and gratify curiosity. Long as banks have been in operation in various parts of the world, it was reserved for the present age, to fertile in discoveries and improvements, to invent the ne plus ultra of liberality and accommodation in the tenor of a promissary note. And the most remarkable feature in this affair is, that the discovery was not made in London, Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, N. York, or Bolton; but in a small Village, called Gloucester, (in Rhode Island) containing about a dozen houses. In this village, immortalized by the invention, there was a bank established in 1824, of which the capital was composed of two thousand shares, of 50 dollars each, amounting to 100,000 dollars. Of this bank Andrew Dexter, jun. an illustrious speculator borrowed the trivial sum of 845,771 dollars in their bank notes, which sum he gave his promissary notes without interest, in the following improved form.
(1.) One dated November 4, 1808, at eight years and a per cent for $ 300,000
(2.) One dated Nov. 30, 1808, 32,000
(3.) do. do. December 12, 1808, 6,000
(4.) One other dated November 30, 1808, 507,771
With the bank notes received by Dexter for these notes of hand, there was carried on a stupendous scene of fraud and villainy. They were employed in the purchase of property of every kind by Dexter and his friends, and as they made no scruple about price, they possessed themselves of the most valuable estates in New-England. Some of which had descended from father to son since the first settlement of the country. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of victims deplore their fatal credulity, which induced them to convert their property into this paper, now not worth a cent in the dollar, which has reduced them, from a state of affluence, to beggary & wretchedness.
The bank ceased its operations, on the 27th of February, 1809, with the enormous sum of specie in its vaults, of 86 dollars and 58 cents, which, on an accurate calculation, will probably pay a farthing in the hundred dollars to its creditors.
The legislature of Rhode-Island, at its last session, appointed a committee to investigate the whole of the nefarious transaction. That committee has published a luminous report for the information of their constituents, from which this sketch is taken.

LIVERPOOL MOB.
To the Editors of the Republican Watchman. September 24th, 1809. Boarded, off New-Castle, Sept. 23d, by the Revenue Cutter, gen. Green, the Superior, capt. McDugal master, 40 days from Liverpool, for Philadelphia. Capt. McDugal informs that he had his ensign, jack, burgee, and pendant hoisted on the 4th July, while laying in the harbour of Liverpool; and that a number of Englishmen came on board and demanded him to haul down those rebel colours. He refused to comply. He states that they hauled them down in great rage, tore them to pieces before his face, and damned all American labels, &c. that they demanded his seaman's list, and after pressing part of his crew, tore it in pieces, which list captain McDugal shewed me. Many other American vessels suffered similar indignity.
I have only to observe that capt. McDugal is a high federalist; and has always until now, sided with the British. He declares his conviction, and is sure, when he government hears of this infamous outrage, that they will not pass it, without demanding reparation. Yours, &c. CHRISTOPHER BENNETT.
A native American gentleman now in this city, was some time since impressed
to "his majesty's" service, at the island of Jamaica. While they were conveying him to the ship, the commander of the gang, to whom he had behaved, as "his majesty's" officer was pleased to term it, in a very mutinous manner pointed to a gibbet and said—"Look at that young man and learn to respect us; there hang the bones of your countryman, Jonathan Robbins!!"
The above was communicated to the editor of this paper by the gentleman himself—I am satisfied it is entitled to unlimited credit. Seamen of America what think you of it? Lalt. E. Pest.
FROM THE LAMP.
GENERAL WILKINSON.
At a crisis like the present, the commander in chief of the American army, should not only be innocent of any dishonorable connexion with foreign powers, but policy requires, that he should be like Cæsar would have his wife—unsuspected. That this is not the case with general Wilkinson, is too well known to need any proof. Even his most partial friends harbour some doubts of his innocence; and his most inveterate enemies are thoroughly convinced of his guilt. Circumstances may place the best man—the purest patriot in situations, that may throw suspicion on his character, from which he can never afterwards satisfactorily clear himself. Suspicion, when once awakened, is too apt to view "trifles light as air, confirmations strong as holy writ." This objection is well exemplified in the present instance. The most innocent, and even the most praiseworthy transactions of the general's life, are brought forward as corroborative testimony to establish his guilt. The charge of his connexion with Burr, is attempted to be supported by inferences drawn from actions that are obscured by the clasp of time, and by evidence, which lies, according to his enemies, beneath the veil of secrecy. Yet were we to judge the general by his conduct only, we should not hesitate to pronounce him Burr's greatest enemy; and if actions are to be estimated by their tendency to do good and to ward off calamities, he is, in this instance, entitled for his patriotic bias, to the esteem and gratitude of his country. The traitor Burr found the commander in chief of the American armies a successful barrier between the liberties of his country and the execution of his horrid schemes—but he found—yes he found a protector in the chief Judge of the United States. Yet pamphlets are written to prove Wilkinson's good understanding with Burr, while the conduct of Marshall is suffered to sleep in silence. The enemies however of the General have not been altogether unsuccessful in supporting their charge of his once being a Spanish pensioner. If this evidence is much weakened from the source from which it flows, it receives additional strength from the private conduct of Wilkinson: Extravagance was always a principal trait in his character. To support his fondness for what he became a twindler. A man of such habits I am convinced would not when promoted to such a high office, be too conscientious to receive a Spanish pension to enable him to move with dignity in his elevated sphere of life.
At all events, whether innocent or guilty, he is a suspicious character: the people could not, in the event of a war, repose confidence in him; his officers are dissatisfied, and some of them have already resigned—it is therefore impolitic for him to remain at the head of the army. Yet as his principal persecution has arisen from his defeating Burr's traitorous scheme, the most meritorious transaction of his life, it would be equally impolitic, without positive proof of his guilt, to remove him from office. As a patriot therefore, who prefers the welfare of his country to all other considerations, it becomes the duty of Gen. Wilkinson to resign his command of the army. If innocent, a "conscious recitude of mind" will support him in his retirement amidst the greatest derivations and misfortunes, and render him, according to the opinion of the ancient sect of philosophers, an obj. d. worthy of the gods to behold. At present he is an object of envy and persecution of his fellow men. His resignation would therefore be mutually beneficial for himself and his country.
These reflections were suggested, by reading an extract of Daniel Clarke's pamphlet against Wilkinson. The evidence which this gentleman can exhibit to convict Wilkinson has been locked up in this patriot's bosom for many years. He never however thought proper to communicate it to the public till after Burr's treason was rendered ineffectual. Previous to this he was an intimate friend of the General, and always spoke of him in the highest terms of praise. So that even were the accusations against Wilkinson supported, we should only have the more reason to despise his accuser. S. O.

Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated August 21, 1809.
"The army will move in a few days from the cantonments at Terre Aux Boeuf for Washington, (Mississippi territory.) Troops are very sickly, Three fourths generally on the sick report, I am in hopes the change of climate will soon recover the health of the troops."
A report is now in circulation, that Gen. Wilkinson has been ordered to Washington without delay, and is now probably on his way—that gen. Hampton has gone to New Orleans to take command of the troops—that the immediate cause of this step, was gen. W's not obeying the most positive order relative to the removal of the troops into the Mississippi Territory. Various other charges have been mentioned. We shall take the earliest opportunity to contradict or confirm these statements.—Enquirer.
The account of the republican success in Vermont is confirmed. A governor, lieut. governor and 12 counsellors (which constitute the whole of the executive) and from 32 to 40 majority in the legislature, are the fruits of the victory. Last year the federal majority was 432.
An extract of a letter from Trenton (N. J.) says—"Our prospects in this state are very fair. A much larger republican majority than last year is anticipated."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE, SIR—Having forwarded a piece some weeks past to the editors of the Western World, through the post-office at Frankfort, for publication, and understanding the same has been returned to that post-office, I now request you to publish the same, with the reason (if any) assigned for its rejection, provided you think it merits the attention of the public.
A MAN OF '76.
Messrs. Gore and Barnes. Gentlemen, of your candour and impartiality as expressed in your prospectus, I expect an early insertion of the following in your paper, by which you will oblige one, who was a subscriber to the W. World at its commencement, and still continues to be.
"Let him that is without fault, cast the first stone."
Having been always an advocate for the W. World, and an admirer of the independent and manly conduct of its former editor, and observing that you have commenced with a declaration of your intention, to occupy the impartial and independent ground of your predecessor; it was with much regret, and not without surprise, that I saw your animadversions on governor Scott, in your paper of the 17th August. While you were recording the words of so good a text as "He that lives in a glass house should not throw stones," I can but express my surprise, that you had not thought a little more of its application and recollected that governor Scott's glass house, is quite as well guarded, as some others, whom the tide of prosperity may have lulled into imaginary security; for depend upon it, 'tis easier to gain an hundred enemies, than to appease one. I shall not pretend to defend or justify the philippic pronounced by the governor, on the voters of Mr. Marshall, nor shall I be found the advocate of drunkenness, but I will venture to pronounce that no honest man in the state who has an opportunity of knowing anything of the heart of the governor, will attribute the expression to any premeditated motive or design, or any thing more than a habitual freedom of expression, known to have been used by the governor, with as little design as consideration; but while I shall freely admit, that it was an imprudence in the governor to pronounce any portion of his counsellors Tories, I shall contend that your animadversions, betray a degree of child-ill-manners, that independent journalists ought to feel themselves ashamed of; nor is this the worst, for in the same breath that you are attempting to defend yourselves from the imputation of being the mere machine workers of Mr. Marshall, you discover fo-
great a subserviency to his interest and approbation, as will certainly be taken by some candid people for proof of the fact: if not, why should you have taken a mere loose expression that was not directed to you, so very much to heart? You will perhaps say that you were of the number denominated Tories; why should I have been, had I been of your county, but yet, can see no good reason for all this acrimony without looking to some other source; and again you surely thought it your duty to tell the people of Kentucky that the governor was drunk on the 1st day of the election; why truly that was a great piece of intelligence, particularly, when we recollected that none of them ever heard of a governor of Kentucky being drunk before, or could have even conceived the idea of governor Scott's being drunk.—Like all other men, governor Scott, has his foibles, the imprudence of intemperance one, and one also, of the foibles of many good, and some great men.—From your "Phenomenon in Physics" we are left to conclude that governor Scott has turned Spanish conspirator, or that you think it highly reprehensible in any man to breathe, because a Spanish conspirator breathed also; and for my own part, I feel a little difficulty in deciding which is most ridiculous. You seem to have laid down principles without ever considering their application, for by the same rule that you pronounced the author of a hand bill (who staked the election in Franklin upon Mr. Marshall's opposition to Mr. Jefferson) a fool (and where I must really agree with you in opinion) you must assuredly be considered a much greater, for calling governor Scott a Spanish conspirator, for voting against Mr. Marshall; for I can tell you, (if you have it yet to learn) that if that is the test by which to try Spanish conspiracy, there would be found a great majority of that class in the state, and amongst them very good Federalists, who have been well tried in their country's cause: I am done with your chemical experiment, and would humbly beg leave to peep into your "Authentic History." And here let me ask, why you did not spare us a little more of your paper & (following the historian) let us know what gen. Lee mistook on that day, as the historian (who is generally considered authority, and seldom gives his authority,) has shown evident marks of doubt, by telling us "as stated by gen. Lee," and as we all know gen. Lee acquired fame of some sort on that day, by pursuing the historian a little farther, we might possibly have seen into the motive that induced gen. Lee to make this statement; we might possibly have seen, that for the conduct of gen. Lee on that day, he was arrested, upon three charges; 1st for disobedience of orders in not attacking the enemy on the 28th of June agreeable to repeated instructions; 2nd, for misbehaviour before the enemy on the same day by making an unnecessary, disorderly and shameful retreat; 3rd, for disrespect to the commander in chief, in two letters. On these three charges he was found guilty with the exception only, of the second being somewhat softened.
Much complaint has been made, and very justly too, in your paper of the labour and pains bestowed to mislead and misinform the public mind, in this country; but what, let me ask was the object of this partial sketch of history, was it to induce a belief, that gen. Scott behaved cowardly or traitorously, at Monmouth: if so, surely a more wicked, or more stupid attempt to mislead public opinion was never made. The people of Kentucky, nor of America, cannot be deceived in this particular, the biography of gen. Scott exhibits too much of the soldier, and of the patriot; it is known to too many of his countrymen: his activity in the wars with the Indians is of a recent date, fresh in the memory of many who shared in his toils, at a period of life when his advanced years might have framed a natural and reasonable apology for his declining military service, had he been so disposed. But like his companion in arms, the illustrious Washington, the blood and spirit of a soldier and patriot was in him; his country called and he did not decline to be sheltered by the covert of old age; he flew to her assistance, his example, his presence inspired the young and inexperienced soldier with new ardour and confidence.
A MAN OF '76.

A SPEECH
Delivered at the last examination of the Students of the Transylvania University, by JOHN OVERTON.
My very Respectable Fellow-Citizens, In obedience to a duty which has been imposed upon me, I have risen to address you upon the present occasion. After the very enlightened and instructive addresses already delivered by those gentlemen who have preceded me, I cannot promise that anything which I may advance, will peculiarly engross the attention of this audience; unless it should be the magnitude and importance of the subject which I have selected, and to which I shall confine myself, in the few imperfect remarks I may be disposed to make.
It is my object upon the present occasion, as far as my information and capacity will permit, faintly to portray to you some of the most prominent evils which must inevitably result from a Disunion of the United States. Upon this subject it will be my aim to consume but a small portion of time, as I am sensible of the weight which its discussion imposes, and my own inadequacy to the performance; but with a full confidence that the errors of youth and inexperience will be viewed with leniency, and not with the rigour of criticism, by the wise and the liberal; and with a heart warmed by the sentiments which it is calculated to inspire, I advance to the consideration of this subject—a subject which is sacred to the liberties, and ought to be dear to the heart of every American citizen.
By attending to the history of confederacies, both ancient and modern, the advantages of union, and the evils arising from disunion, must irresistibly force themselves upon every intelligent and reflecting mind. So long as there existed that harmony in interest and sentiment, which originally prevailed, and associated the different members together; they presented a picture truly prosperous and flourishing. But on the other hand, so soon as illaudable ambition began to fire the minds of individuals, & direct them to objects abstracted from those of the public weal, relentless & vindictive factions sprang up, & confusion, carnage and bloodshed marked the vestiges of their career—almost every calamity accompanied them incident to humanity, and which was calculated to accelerate their final destruction.
All those confederacies of which we have any satisfactory information upon record, appear to have risen out of necessity, and with a view to national security, and exemption from oppression. Upon this principle, and from this motive, was formed the confederacies of Greece, of the Belgic Provinces, and the confederacy of the united colonies of America. These great and valuable purposes were secured to the American people by the establishment of their revolution; an epoch which will be ever memorable in the annals of nations. With union amongst ourselves, we were enabled to encounter the difficulties of a seven years war; to suffer unsubdued the conflagration of our fields, our cities and villages; to withstand the indiscriminate murders of Indian savages; and ultimately to obtain a glorious triumph over the disciplined troops of our haughty and imperious enemy. Had not the united colonies presented a bold and united front upon that occasion, their exertions would have been crushed in their infancy. The tea tax would have been but the precedent to taxes much more galling and oppressive; or in case of a continued resistance, we would have been murdered, burnt and massacred in detail, as were witnessed at Wilkesbarre, New London, Wyoming and Pauli. By union we effected our release from foreign tyranny and taxation. By union only, shall we have it in our power to preserve the proud trophies of our independence, and to prevent foreign injustice and imposition in future. Under the auspices of this principle, have we flourished and been happy to a degree that has no parallel; we have defeated the intrigues of foreign governments hostile to our own, in the conspiracies of Burr, of Elount, and of Miranda; which, when disunited, might have endangered the liberties of the people, or finally overthrown the fair fabric of our freedom, achieved by the valour and patriotism of our forefathers.
The history of England and Scotland, before the union of the two crowns under James the first, as well as the late experiment of an embargo in the United States, afford an instructive and conclusive lesson on this subject. In the first case, Scotland was frequently the dupe and instrument of foreign influence, and as frequently engaged in hostilities with England. In the latter, a measure dictated by the most consummate wisdom and foresight, was defeated, and the valuable purposes which it was calculated to effect, entirely lost to the nation. Every circumstance has since proved, that the Congress of the United States entertained correct notions as to the influence of that measure, and had the people been patriotic, and united in its execution, in every section of the union, those who have injured and insulted us, would have been brought to terms; and our just and equitable demands would have been amply satisfied. But the result of this experiment has proved our degeneracy; it has pointed out the evils arising from disunion; withdrawn us from that commanding and eligible ground we formerly occupied, and placed us in an attitude of humility and degradation. Shades of the heroes and sages of our revolution! was it for these purposes you fought and bled, and endured the lingering martyrdom of prison ships and dungeons! was it for these ends your distinguished services were devoted, and for which such numerous sacrifices were made! The truths to be deduced from these circumstances should be deeply impressed upon our minds, and should never be forgotten; they are such as embrace interests common to us all, and should be attended to by every individual in the nation; no man can be indifferent since his dearest rights and interests are involved. If the United States cannot be associated together as friends, as the federal members of one great republic, they cannot but expect to be enemies, when in a disunited and independent condition. National jealousy will erect its crest, and diffuse its deleterious poison throughout the union; the interests of particular sections of America, or the ambitious views of some of our own citizens, will give tone to the politics of its various parts; the proscriptions of Marcus and of Sulla will be exceeded in their destructive and bloody consequences, by similar proscriptions in the United States; and the liberties of the people will be stifled with taxation and standing armies, which will be resorted to for the purpose of defence, and of partial or private aggrandizement. The same causes which are said to have rendered these alternatives necessary in France, under Henry the seventh will render them necessary in America. Catalines in our own country, as well as in Rome, will be found to cherish and direct them, and they cannot fail of producing the same demoralizing and fatal catastrophe.
In consequence of disunion, we shall be deprived of those rich blessings which we so plentifully enjoyed under the general government, since its organization, and which reason and experience have shown to be so essential to our advancement in wealth and in happiness. The spirit of enterprize and improvement, which is the
adamant base of our independence, will be completely paralyzed, and entirely merged in the rancorous spirit of party and of faction.
Our credit and respectability in a commercial and political point of view, cannot possibly be maintained abroad, nor our peace and tranquillity at home. Ever check to jealousy and ambition will be removed, and the door thrown open to foreign intrigue, imposition and corruption. The separate states will be played off against each other in detail, to suit the interest and caprice of our enemies, and our history will be a lasting monument of decay. As Greece was reduced to foreign vassalage as soon as she became divided, so the United States, by disunion will sooner or later be prepared to submit to the despotism of some transatlantic American Philip. Bireling Feebleness are within the bosom of our country, propagating disaffection, and doctrines hostile to the union, and destructive to the peace and safety of these states. It is for the people in the energy and majesty of the might, to frown them into insignificance and to avert their fatal and sanguinary consequences.
In contemplating the evils arising from disunion, in proportion to the prospect those evils being realized, so must the heart of every friend to liberty, freedom and independence be bowed down with humility and despondency. It is difficult for the imagination to draw a picture of those calamities with which it would be attended. The different sections of America, goaded on by the most relentless and irreconcilable animosities, would be perpetually involved with each other, in conflicts the most bloody and destructive. The demon of havoc and devastation would make rapid strides through our land; discord and confusion would wave their black ensigns triumphantly in every quarter, and the futile plains of America, which are calculated to answer the best and wisest purposes, would be drenched with the blood of millions of her own citizens; citizens and members of the same family would be inimically arrayed against each other; the arm of the father would be raised to take the life of the son—and a brother's hand would be seen reeking with a brother's blood; helpless widows, and destitute orphans would be greatly multiplied through our country; and famine, ruin, and despair, would stalk forth, with all their haggard and hideous features.
From these reflections, it must appear evident beyond the reach of question, that the federal and representative principles should be invariably associated. The federal principle will preserve our external and internal tranquillity; and the representative principle will perpetuate our freedom and equality; they are almost indissolubly connected, and neither can promise lasting advantages to a nation when disunited. The separation of these two principles have been the Syla and Carpydes, by which all ancient republics have been wrecked and overthrown; and will be the fatal bane of our own whenever it is effected. The union of these two principles, then, should be the first article in our political faith, and the text of our civil instruction. They have supported us during the throes of a perilous revolution, and conducted us to a port of peace and safety. They are the principles which Washington and Jefferson taught—for the establishment of which a Wooster a Warren and a Montgomery fell; and should with their glorious achievements be handed down in reverence to the latest posterity.
With such authorities and such evidences, we should be firmly and decidedly impressed, with this important truth, one which is founded in reason and in experience, that a nation, like a house when divided against itself, cannot possibly stand.
Let us then cherish the principles of our union with anxious and assiduous care—Let us not resign this glorious boon, which was purchased by the labours, the blood, the death, and sufferings of the heroes and sages of our revolution; but in veneration to their departed spirits, let us cling to it as the ark of our safety abroad, and our peace and happiness at home—Let us not forsake a principle which has been the parent of so many blessings, and one which has been sanctioned by the wisdom and experience of ages; but let every independent citizen, whenever this principle is assailed, step forward in its defence, with nervous arms, and with stout, ardent, and patriotic hearts. In our struggles for union, we are contending for a principle by which our free government was established, and by which alone it can be perpetuated. By keeping steadfast in our view the firmness, wisdom and patriotism of those who have gone before us, we cannot but experience, under the guidance of the same principle, the same success, and reap a proportionable share of glory; the good fortune which attended the arms of freemen in our revolutionary struggles, will triumphantly support them under every difficulty, and whenever the peace and safety of their country may render it necessary, their noble exertions will be crowned with laurels, equally distinguished for their splendour and the illustrious manner after which they were achieved.
With that portion of patriotic enthusiasm which ought to glow in the breast of every votary of liberty, and which animated the souls of the Fabii, the Brutii and the Gracchi, we shall be enabled to perform deeds of equal renown, in the security of our liberties, and in the perpetuation of these United States.
We are happy to find that the delusion and infatuation which existed among the federal citizens of the New-England states in consequence of the pressure of the embargo, &c. which the enemies of our government took infinite pains to represent as an oppres-
