THE FRIEND TO PEACE.—No. V.
NO country can justly be considered as free, unless its constitution defines the powers which it grants, and reserves to the people, all power which is not necessary to be delegated, to those who are to administer the government; and unless it also divides the powers that are delegated, in such a manner, as to secure them as far as possible, against abuse. Neither can the inhabitants of the country really be free men unless their great and essential rights, are guarded by that constitution, and declared to be out of the reach, and beyond the power, of their rulers. But to secure the political liberty, of a country, and the personal liberty of its citizens, there must not only be such a constitution; but that constitution must remain sacred and be considered as superior to every attempt, that can be made by those to whom the powers of government are delegated, to break down the barriers erected by that constitution, for the security of the liberties of the people. Therefore, a constitution which may be violated with impunity, at the pleasure of those who are employed to administer the government under it; is not only no security for liberty, but contains in itself, the most dangerous enemy which liberty can encounter; for as it gives those who violate it, a right to exercise power to a certain degree, if it contains no sufficient checks on them, it enables them wickedly to assume to themselves, as much more power, as will be sufficient to destroy that very liberty which the constitution was made to preserve. It is therefore, a most essential requisite to a good constitution, that it shall declare, that all attempts to exercise powers not delegated, or forbidden to be exercised by the constitution, shall be illegal and void.
America has such a constitution; because it not only defines the powers which shall be exercised by those who are to administer the government, but also points out, what particular powers shall be exercised by each of them; and expressly declares, that "The enumeration, in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others, retained by the people. The powers not delegated to the United States, by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people." So long therefore, as the limits marked out by this constitution are regarded as sacred, America must be free; as soon as those limits are broken through by those in power, American liberty is in the utmost danger; and must depend on the pleasure of those, who when they violated that constitution, must have been guilty of a breach of that oath, which they all take "to support the constitution."
I will now point out several very important instances in which, the most positive injunctions of this constitution have been violated.
The constitution declares that the congress shall have power "To declare war; grant letters of marque and reprisal; and make rules concerning captures on land or water."
To raise and support armies. But no appropriation of money for that use, shall be for a longer term than two years.
To provide and maintain a navy.
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces,
To provide for calling forth the militia, to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.
To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them, as may
be employed in the service of the United States; referring to the states respectively the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by congress."
It also declares that "The president shall be commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States."
It has always been justly thought, that an absolute power over the purse & the sword of a nation, includes within it, all other powers; our constitution has wisely limited the manner and the occasions, upon which, this power may be exercised; and for fear of its being abused, when it is exercised on the occasions, in which it is allowed of; it has divided this power between different branches of the government; to each of which it has given its own share, to the exclusion of the other branches. As therefore, this power could not have been legally exercised, by any part of the government, unless the constitution had authorized it; so no branch can legally exercise any part of that power, which is not specially assigned to it by the constitution; and it is as criminal a violation of the constitution, in one branch of the government, to transfer its own peculiar part of this power, to another branch; as it is for that other branch, in consequence of that transfer, to exercise a part of that power not given to it by the constitution.
By the constitution, congress alone have the power to raise and support armies; but they are to be commanded when raised by the president. Congress therefore, are exclusively empowered and entrusted, by the constitution to judge of the proper time for raising an army; the manner of raising that army; the number of that army; and the time of its continuing in service: with certain limitations even to their powers, in this respect.
By an act passed at the present session of congress, the president is authorized, "in the event of a declaration of war against the United States, or of actual invasion of their territory, by a foreign power, or of imminent danger of such invasion, discovered in his opinion to exist, before the next session of congress, to cause to be enlisted and to call into actual service, a number of troops not exceeding ten thousand, to be enlisted for a term not exceeding three years."
By this act, the powers vested in congress alone by the constitution, have been by them transferred to the president; and he is made the sole judge of the necessity of raising this army, and of the number that it shall consist of, so that that number does not exceed ten thousand. Under the constitution there is no danger of the power given by it to raise armies being abused; because when the army raised by order of congress, is to be commanded by the president, there would be no temptation to them, to order it to be raised improperly or unnecessarily; but when the president, has the power given to him, to raise as well as to command the army when raised; he has every inducement which can be held out to a bad and an ambitious man, to raise it unnecessarily. The giving him the power to raise as well as to command the army, must also have a tendency to increase, if possibly it can be increased, their dependence on him. Further, this army may by the president's orders, be enlisted for three years; but the constitution declares that "no appropriation of money for the support of an army, shall be for a longer term than two years;" now it is certainly, that if
they are enlisted for three years, that appropriations for their support must be made for the same time; and if no appropriations are made for that purpose, they will provide for themselves; for there is no instance in the history of the world, of a powerful army commanded by an ambitious man, being disbanded for want of pay, in a country able to pay them. But it certainly must have been the intention to prevent any regulation from being made by law, for the continuance of an army for more than two years at a time; by this means securing as far as it could be done, that the army should not be continued longer than a real necessity for them existed; as in each bill for continuing them in service, every branch of the government must concur; whereas if they are once raised for a greater length of time, they cannot be dismissed from the service, without the concurrence of the president, unless two thirds of both houses should agree in passing a law for that purpose. Besides, the necessity of frequent discussions of this subject, and the information which would by this means be given to the body of the people, would be a great security against this power being abused by congress. It is remarkable, that this law has exceeded what has ever been done in England respecting their armies; the law on which their existence depends, is passed annually, and if it is not renewed at the end of each year, the king has no power to retain the troops in his service; but the lovers of monarchy in America, have at once put the army in the power of the president, for three years. But arguments drawn from the inexpediency and danger of the measure, need not be resorted to: because if it exceeds the constitutional power of congress, to vest the president with these powers, they could not do it legally, however expedient it might appear in their sight. Man is fond of power, and experience has shown, that bodies of men, are at least as much influenced by that passion, as individuals. How does it happen, then, that congress have voluntarily transferred their greatest and most important constitutional powers to the president? It can be accounted for in but one way. They dislike the present tenure, by which they hold their power; to be in for but two years, and then to depend for their re-election on the people, is not agreeable to their lordly tempers; but this is all the share of power they can get under the present constitution: they may therefore wish to see such a change made in the constitution, as will make a middle order of men necessary; and if they can effect this change, they rely on the gratitude of the prince to place them in that middle order.
This same bill further enacts "That in addition to the aforesaid number of troops, the president is hereby empowered, at any time within three years after the passing of this act, if in his opinion the public interest shall require it, to accept of any company or companies of volunteers, either of artillery, cavalry or infantry, who may associate and offer themselves for the service, who shall be armed, clothed and equipped, at their own expense, and whose commissioned officers the president is hereby authorized to appoint: who shall be liable to be called to do military duty at any time the president shall adjudge proper, within two years after he shall accept the same." The former part of this law, was defective; it had limited the number of troops to be raised by the president to ten thousand, this does away that defect, entirely; for as there is no limitation
to the number of companies, whose services he may accept of, he may, under this clause, raise an army of one hundred thousand men: and as he is at liberty to accept of their services at any time within three years after the passing of the act; and as they are liable to be called on to do military duty, at any time the president shall adjudge proper, within two years after he shall accept of their services: it may be truly said, that he has an absolute power for five years, to raise an army to any amount he pleases, to be commanded by officers of his own appointment, and to do such services as he shall be pleased to direct. The terms upon which these men are to be raised, make this power still more exceptionable; they are to be "armed, clothed and equipped at their own expense;" and they must necessarily be exempt from militia duty; of what class of citizens, then, must these companies consist? certainly of the rich and the well born. But are they directed, (as from their zeal in the cause and their eagerness to engage in war, they ought to have been,) to be called upon before the militia, to take the field against an invading enemy? no such thing is provided for by the act; and it is more than probable, that they are intended for a very different kind of service. They will be a chosen, select band, consisting of men taken from the most wealthy class of citizens, and commanded by chosen spirits, selected by the president himself, from the whole tribe of aristocrats. How then can they be more usefully employed, than by staying at home, to dragoon the twining multitude; to force them to bend their necks to the yoke; and to drive as many of them into the field, as may be necessary to fight the battles, which this select band will not even be spectators of? If we wish to know more particularly how this select band will be employed, let us enquire how the "corps of yeomanry" are now employed in Ireland; and let us figure to ourselves, what a certain captain would do, if he had a company at his command, consisting of men of the same principles with himself. If therefore, by "volunteers" is generally understood, men who are to fight for the liberties and independence of their country; the term is much misunderstood; and the bill ought to have been amended by styling those companies "The president's janizaries;" their names would then have corresponded with the duties of their office—to act as guards to a sovereign, and to enforce all his orders upon the people at large. The American constitution contemplates only two kinds of men in arms; the militia, and the regular troops, to be raised by order of congress; the regular troops to be raised only on particular occasions; but the ultimate safety of the nation, to be rested on the militia. But congress have now established a third sort, whose principal duty it will be, to overawe and keep in subjection, those very militia men, whom the constitution considered, as the able and incorruptible champions of their country. The constitution reserves to the states, the appointment of the officers of the militia; this act gives that power to the president, over as many of the militia, as he can entice into his service. The constitution makes it the duty of congress "To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia at large," this law, and an amendment proposed to it, provides for arming this select band before they are called into actual service, with public arms, to be furnished them, either by sale or loan, at the discretion of the

PHILADELPHIA, June 22. Yesterday the following message was re- ceived by the house of representatives, from the president.
Gentlemen of the senate, and Gentlemen of the house of representatives. While I congratulate you on the arrival of general Marshall, one of our late envoys extraordinary to the French Republic, at a place of safety, where he is justly held in honor, I think it my duty to communicate to you a letter received by him from Mr. Gerry, the only one of the three who has not received Conge. This letter, together with another from the min- ister of foreign relations to him, of the third of April, and his answer, of the fourth, will shew the situation in which he remains, his intentions and prospects.
I presume that before this time, he has received fresh instructions, (a co- py of which accompanies this message) to consent to no loan, and therefore the negotiation may be considered as at an end.
I will never send another minister to France, without assurances, that he will be received, respected and hono- red, as the representative of a great, free, powerful and independent na- tion.
JOHN ADAMS.

Paris, 16th April, 1798.
My Dear Sir,
"This I expect you will receive by my colleague general Marshall who carries with him the last letter of Mr. Talleyrand, to the American envoys, and their answer. On the day when we sent the answer, I received a let- ter from the minister, a copy of which and my answer, is enclosed. I have not sent these to the secretary of state, because I have not time to prepare a letter to accompany them. Indeed, I expected my passport with my col- leagues, but am informed the Direc- tory will not consent to my leaving France, and to bring on an immediate rupture, by adopting this measure contrary to their wishes, would be, in my mind unwarrantable.
"The object of Mr. Talleyrand, you will perceive, was to resume our reciprocal communications, and again to discuss the subject of a loan. I thought it best in my answer, not merely to object to this, but to every measure, that could have a tendency to draw me into a negotiation. I ac- cepted of this mission, my dear Sir, to support your administration, and have brought myself into a predicament,* which you must assist me to extricate myself from, by appointing some oth- ers to supply the place of myself and my colleagues, if a further progress in this business should be found prac- ticable.
"I have only a moment to add my best respects to your lady, and my as- surance of the most sincere and re- spectful attachment, my dear Sir, of
Yours sincerely,

Paris, the 14th Germinal, 6th year of the French Republic, one and indi- visible, (3d April, 1798.)
The minister of foreign relations to Mr. Gerry, envoy extraordinary of the United States of America to the French Republic.
I suppose, Sir, that Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall have thought it useful and proper, in consequence of the in- timations given in the end of my note, of the 28th Ventose last, and the ob- stacles which their known opinions have interposed to the desired recon- ciliation, to quit the territory of the Republic, on this supposition I have the honor to point out to you the 5th or the 7th of this decade, to resume our reciprocal communications upon the interests of the French Republic and the United States of America.
Receive, I pray you, the assurances of my perfect consideration.
CH. MAU. TALLEYRAND.
Paris 4th April, 1798, (Germinal 15, an. 6.)
I had the honor, citizen minister, of receiving your letter of the 14th Ger- minal (the 3d inst.) and Mr. Deut- ment who delivered it, informed me, that it was intended to be shewn to general Pinckney, and general Mar- shall.
Whilst my colleagues and myself, to whom the government of the Uni- ted States have entrusted the affairs of the embassy, had a joint agency there- in, I have carefully imparted to them all the propositions which you have requested, and the relative conse- quences, and to yourself our decisions thereon, regretting at the same time, the unfortunate and embarrassing cir- cumstances which imposed on me this disagreeable task. But as by the ten- or of your letter, it is now expected that they will quit the territory of the French Republic, it will be impos- sible for me to be the medium of, or to take any measures which will be painful to my colleagues, or not to af- ford them all the assistance in my power, and it would be moreover in- consistent with the line of conduct, which you well know, citizen minis- ter, I have uniformly observed, for removing the unfavorable impres- sions which existed on the part of the government, against them; indeed, in our last letter, there is a condition- al application for passports, which, as it appears to me, supercedes the ne- cessity of a hint to them on this sub- ject; and general Marshall is waiting impatiently for an answer to that part of it which respects a letter of safe-conduct for the vessel, in which he and his suite may take passage for the United States, to determine whe- ther he shall embark from France or Great Britain; but the unfortunate situation of general Pinckney, with respect to the critical state of his daughter's health, renders it utterly impossible for him to depart under existing circumstances.
You have proposed, citizen minis- ter, the 5th or 7th of this decade for me to resume (repandre) our reci- procal communications upon the in- terests of the French Republic and of the United States. The reciprocal communications which we had, were such only as I have alluded to in the beginning of this letter, unless your propositions accompanied with an in- junction of secrecy, for me to treat separately, is considered in this light, to resume this subject, will be una- vailing, because the measure, for the reasons which I then urged, is utterly impracticable. I can only then con- fer informally and unaccredited on any subject respecting our mission, and communicate to the govern- ment of the United States, the result of such conferences, being in my in- dividual capacity unauthorized to give them an official stamp. Never- theless, every measure in my power and in conformity with the duty I owe to my country, shall be zealously pursued to restore harmony and a cordial friendship between the two republics. I had the honor of calling on you last evening for the purpose of making this communication ver- bally, but as you were absent, to pre- vent misconceptions, I have thought it best to reduce it to writing.
Accept, citizen minister, the as- surances of my perfect esteem and re- spect
E. GERRY.
To the minister of foreign affairs } of the French Republic. }
To Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry, es- quires, envoys extraordinary and Ministers plenipotentiary from the United States of America, to the French Republic.
GENTLEMEN
On the 4th instant came to hand your first dispatches since you arrived at Paris; these were your numbers, 1, 4 and 5; and on the 6th instant your numbers 2 and 3 were received. On the 5th, your no. 5 dated 8th of January, and a translation of the mes- sage of January 4th from the Direc- tory to the council of Five Hundred, were laid before congress.—In this letter you "repeat that there exists no hope of your being officially received by that government, or that the objects of your mission will be in any way ac- complished."—This opinion is sancti- oned by the whole tenor of your com- munications; and we trust that soon after the date of your number five you closed your mission by demanding pas- sports to leave the territories of the French republic.
An official copy of your letters of credence have been delivered to the Minister for foreign affairs, and by him laid before the Directory, they were sufficiently informed of the great objects of your mission; and consider- ing that you were an extraordinary
delegation from an independent nation, you had a right to expect a prompt and respectful reception. The fair and honorable views of the Americango- vernment which dictated your ap- pointment and your powers, entitled you to expect the early appointment of a commission by the French govern- ment, with equal powers, to negoti- ate on all the matters in controversy between them. Had the French go- vernment been influenced by similar views, the objects of your mission would long since have been accom- plished, to the advantage and peace of both nations. But, instead of coming forward on such equal and proper ground, they have treated you and thro' you, your country with extreme neglect.
Under these circumstances, the pre- sident presumes that you have long since quitted Paris and the French do- minions: yet actuated as you were with an ardent desire to preserve peace, which you know would be so grateful to your country; and having for this object manifested unexampled pati- ence, and submitted to a series of mor- tifications; as you also proposed to make one more direct attempt, subse- quent to the date of your last letter, to draw the French government to an open negotiation—there is a bare possi- bility that this last effort may have suc- ceeded:—The president therefore thinks it proper to direct,
1. That if you are in treaty with persons duly authorized by the Direc- tory, on the subjects of your mission, then you are to expedite the comple- tion of the treaty; if it should not have been concluded. Before this letter gets to hand, you will have ascertain- ed whether the negotiation is or is not conducted with candour on the part of the French government: and if you shall have discovered a clear de- sign to procrastinate, you are to break off the negotiation, demand your pas- sports, and return. For you will con- sider that suspence is ruinous to the es- sential interests of your country.
2. That if on the receipt of this let- ter you shall not have been received, or, whether received or not, if you shall not be in treaty with persons du- ly authorized by the Directory, with full and equal powers, you are to de- mand your passports and return.
3. In no event is a treaty to be pur- chased with money, by a loan or o- therwise. There can be no safety in a treaty so obtained. A loan to the republic would violate our neutrality; and a doeur to the men now in pow- er, might by their successors be urged as a reason for annulling the treaty, or as a precedent for further and re- peated demands.
It is proper to apprize you that a motion has been made in the senate, and will doubtless be repeated in the house of representatives, to desire the president to lay before them your communications; and he will proba- bly be under the necessity of doing it; only with-holding the two names which you promised should in no event be made public.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, gentlemen, your obedient servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING.

Early in the evening the company retired in peace and tranquility, to their respective abodes.

NOTICE,
To the inhabitants of Fayette, and the adjacent Counties.
AT a crisis more important to the Liberty, Independence and Happiness of America, than any which hath taken place since the declaration of Independence;—at a period, when the interests of the Western country must be deeply affected by the measures which may be pursued by the federal government;—and at a time, when the citizens of America are generally expressing their sentiments as to the steps that ought to be taken by that government:—your silence will be construed into an unpardonable indifference to the welfare of your country, and an abandonment of your right, according to your number, of directing the councils of your representatives. It is therefore proposed, that there shall be a general meeting of the inhabitants of Fayette and the adjacent counties, on the next August Fayette court day, at 12 o'clock, at the Presbyterian meeting-house, in the town of Lexington, for the purpose of taking into consideration, the present critical situation of public affairs, & to express to their representatives, their opinions of the measures which have been already adopted, and those which ought now to be pursued, at this eventful moment: and it is hoped, that the friends of peace, and those who are really attached to Republican principles, will be pointed in their attendance on this occasion.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
VERSES,
Written by a young lady, who was seduced and deserted by her lover.
WHERE now is that sun of repose, Which once used to shine on my breath, With the morn that so genially rose, And at night sat so kindly to rest?
Withdrawn now, alas! from my sight, On the morning no longer it beams! And instead of contentment at night, Now horror embitters my dreams.
O! Belmour, why e'er did I hear What I knew must be death to believe; Or drink up a draught in my ear, When I knew it was meant to deceive?
In vain the dark grove do I try, Some respite from sorrow to find, But ah! from the world I may fly, Yet, cannot escape from my mind.
In the thicket reeds of the shade, My conscience cries, ah! guilty fair! What a wretch, a fond father you've made, What a mother you've plung'd in despair.
The zephyrs' soft innocent gale, Now seems at my conduct to roar, And the stream, as it winds through the vale, Cries, Flavia is spotless no more.
At church, in the moment of pray'r, Remorse lifts her terrible rod, And harrows my soul with despair, Tho' I kneel at the throne of my God.
'Tis just, but I cannot complain, For Belmour still dwells in my eye; And this bosom so basely betray'd, Still heaves with too tender a sigh.
In spite of religion's pure breath, The loath of ideas will rise; And I doat on destruction and death, Whilst I labor to hate and despise.
Come grave, then, thou belt of relief, Regardless of season or time, At once put an end to my grief, And throw a dark veil o'er my crime.
Yet cease not, ye tears still to flow From the fount of contrition and love; For excels of sorrow below A pardon may purchase above.
ANECDOTE.
A humorous fellow, a carpenter, being summoned as a witness on a trial for an assault; one of the counsel, who was very much given to brow-beat the evidence, asked him what distance he was from the parties, when he saw the defendant strike the plaintiff? The carpenter answered, 'just four feet, five inches and a half.' 'Prythee, fellow,' says the counsel, 'how is it possible you can be so very exact as to the distance?' 'Why, to tell you the truth (says the carpenter,) I thought, perhaps, that some fool or other might ask me, and so I measured it.'
[Concluded from first page.]
president; but the militia, are only to be trusted with the public arms, when called forth and engaged in the actual service of the United States. By an act passed last year, 80,000 militia were drafted, and are now held subject to marching orders; no notice has been taken of this truly valuable corps, by congress, at their present session; but their whole attention has been taken up in providing regulars and janizaries. It is our bounden duty to consider seriously to what all these things tend; and as far as in us lies, to avert from our liberties and the constitution of our country, the evils with which they are threatened by them. Thanks be to God, we are not yet caught in the snare that has been laid for us; it is still in our power to arm ourselves; to continue in our state militia; or to enter into militia corps commanded by officers of our own choosing, commissioned by our governor, and whose patriotism we can rely on; thus organized, we shall always be able to join with the mass of our countrymen, in defending our country from invasion, and its constitution from violation. This part of my subject, naturally calls upon me to state, how I think, the citizens of a free country ought to conduct themselves, during the operation of a law which violates the constitution of their country. Such a law is unquestionably void, but it can only be declared to be so, by the judiciary, to whom the constitution has dele-
gated that power. The federal courts have already, in at least one instance, declared a law of congress to be unconstitutional, and therefore refused to carry it into execution. It is in the power of every individual, on whom such a law operates, to carry a similar question before the courts; but if he does not do this, submission to the law, while it continues in force, is all that is left for him. But he has an undoubted right, either as an individual, or in concert with any number of his fellow citizens, to remonstrate against the law, and to demand its repeal; but, resistance by a part of a community, puts an end to all government; for one set of individuals has the same right to resist any one law, that other individuals have to resist any other law. During the existence of a law, the only difference between slaves and free men, is this; slaves must submit, and dare not complain; free men ought to submit, but may at the same time remonstrate. It is certainly an evil and an injury to the individual to be obliged to submit to an unjust and unconstitutional law; but in this, as in every other case a partial and a particular evil, ought rather to be submitted to, than by resistance, to cause a general mischief. Submission, and a pursuit of constitutional remedies, will, sooner or later remove the evil; but resistance, by putting an end to all legal government, will lay every thing at the mercy of lawless power. But, this doctrine of rendering a temporary obedience to unconstitutional laws, has its limits; and the rule which enjoins on individuals, an obedience to all laws during their existence, although a good general rule, has its exceptions. For, if an unconstitutional law, should enjoin us to do an act, which when once done, would for ever afterwards put it out of our power to assert our liberties,—such as the delivering up all our arms to the government; or should command us to abstain from the exercise of a right, without which, liberty could not exist at all,—such as the freedom of speech, or the liberty of the press; it would then be meritorious and necessary, instantly to oppose, and disobey any such law.
Those who think with me, upon the present critical situation of public affairs, are called upon by the most serious considerations, to render a prompt obedience to the laws they disapprove of most, except those which are of the kind last described. These laws, are said, by their framers, to be intended for the protection of our country; if then, we oppose those laws, and the defence intended, proves insufficient, the want of success would be imputed to us; and we should, even in our own eyes, be, in some degree, responsible for it. Our objections to the conduct of our government, are founded on principle, and to their violations of our constitution; but if we disobey a law, it will be imputed to a wish to withhold from the public, our proportion of pecuniary or personal service. Our political sentiments will necessarily make our rulers our enemies, as long as we confine our conduct within the limits of propriety, and those lines marked out by the constitution, for us to walk by, they dare not attack us; but if we deviate in the least from a justifiable line of conduct, they will with secret pleasure bring down the whole force of the union upon us. Our object is neither personal or local; it is, as far as in us lies, to secure the happiness and liberty of America; but, we cannot effect this, unless other parts of America shall co-operate with us: and however discouraging present appearances are, we may safely calculate on their final co-operation, if our conduct is uniformly proper; but if we deviate from the line of propriety ever so little, it will leave room to misrepresent the whole of our conduct to the other citizens of America, so as to make them our enemies; and this will necessarily defeat our great object. Moderation and decency, ought also to characterize our conduct, towards such of our fellow citizens, as differ from us in opinion. We should have charity enough to suppose, that they think themselves right; and therefore if they are in an error, they are the proper objects of pity, and not of reproach. We should never forget, even for a moment, that freedom of sentiment and speech, is what we contend for; and that they are equally the right of all, and those of every
party. Let us leave to the majority of congress, and the supporters of arbitrary power, the exclusive use of threats and abuse; and wield no weapon, on our part, but truth and reason. These are only pretended friends to civil or religious liberty, who refuse to others, the same privileges which they claim for themselves.
These observations are not intended to prevent us from persevering, and going as far as propriety will justify us in doing, in opposition to the improper and unconstitutional acts of our government; on the contrary, as long as we follow that line of conduct, we shall be encouraged by approving consciences, and by a conviction, that truth is great, and must finally prevail over error, in politics as well as in religion.
