An ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator.
(Continued from No. 807)
IN the present situation of the United States, an extreme love of liberty, and immoderate fondness of wealth and its external enjoyments, are general and dangerous political faults. From these have sprung all the deplorable private and public embarrassments; with that defect of public spirit; that want of confidence between man and man, between the people and the government, which threaten the Union. The sharpest artillery of the law must be pointed against these monsters. Be prudent, be mild; but remember that improper lenity is cruelty, that a cancer must be cut with a bold and steady hand. With a proper regard to time, place, and persons, some articles of luxury may be entirely prohibited, or much restrained; the use of things less necessary may also be limited--because a man of sense and an independent spirit will rather want them, than be poor, unjust, and deficient to his country; and others must not be permitted to injure themselves, their fellow citizens, and the common wealth. Extortion and every kind of fraud in dealing should be marked with infamy, or, if that is not effectual, severely fined. Neglect of payment, when it can be made, is want of honesty, and punishable. Overtrading, and an extensive credit, have been great evils of long standing in America. They necessarily, at the best, corrupt the great principle of integrity. A landjobber, or adventurer in trade, plays with the money of other people, because the change of human affairs forbids a sure calculation of future profits; he cannot be punctual in payment, and is reduced to numberless paltry shifts, excuses, solicitations; and by the habit of breaking his word even to his friends, a state of dependence, and the necessary endurance of contempt and insults, he will gradually be a knave, and a mean fellow. To prevent credit will therefore be an important object of laws at present. I shall conclude this subject with some quotations from Webster's essay. "Multiplicity of laws, and frequency of litigation, weaken a respect for the executive authority; destroy the principle of honor; and transfer the disgrace, which ought to follow delinquency in payment, from a man's reputation, to the administration of justice. In our governments, the men who owe the money, make the laws; and a general embarrassment of circumstances is too strong a temptation to evade or suspend the performance of justice. Another effect of extensive credit is a multiplicity of lawyers--the profession of law is honorable--but, in some of the Eastern States one half or two thirds of the lawyers are mere collectors. They bring forwards suits for small, undisputed debts--recover judgement upon default--take out executions, and live upon their fees."
I have now shown, how federal sentiments must be acquired by education, manners, laws, morals, and religion; and proceed to consider how they may be promoted by civil institutions--my reader will please to remember, that the political arrangement of a federal system is my object only in this view. There can be no republican liberty, but where the great body of the people does by representatives exercise the sovereign power. A great number should therefore be qualified to rule in their turn--the far greater majority should have the knowledge and virtue of electors--the whole nation ought to have a warm zeal for liberty, integrity and courage to intimidate the boldest ambition; yet be generous enough to love and respect a good government, and to support it with their lives and fortunes. We may heartily despise those politicians, who pretend to establish a noble republican system only by a nice balance of civil powers. Can a Palladio erect a palace, that shall be the wonder of ages, with untempered mortar, soft bricks, and rotten timbers! Can a Vauban with such materials form national bulwarks, that shall mock the fury of batteries, and the desperate attack of the forlorn hope? Suppose the Turkish Sultan had a mind to transform his vast despotic empire into a federal republic, and had for this purpose all the best politicians in Europe and America, and the honorable Federal Convention; do you think, he could do it? No, a dreadful civil war would kindle from the Black Sea to Lybia, and the blood of a million would only cement the vast prison of slavery. In the republican edifice, the people are not inanimate materials, but living stones. They must not only be found and proper, but also willing to lie, to stand, to join as the architect wishes, nay, to go into their proper places; because in a free country there is no machinery strong enough to hold massy stones and heavy timber against their will--no iron capable of trussing a roof, when the rafter will not join--no force to fix a keystone against his inclination--to make the fluted columns, that bear up the dome, stand in their places--The very
Pennsylvania Packet, 21st February, 1787.
stones of the foundation can, if they please, begin to fight, and like a fatal earthquake shake the whole fabric into a heap of rubbish. Reflect on this ye federal people! Spurn the crooked stick; let the unyielding mass stick in the wire; despite every snowy but hollow hearted tree; be like the best free-trees; firm, sound, invincible, as your live oaks and evergreen cedars--consider also, that the stones, however solid, must be smoothed and joined by the yielding well-tempered mortar; that discord is a building mine. Ye political architects! exert all your skill; poise your cent'rs of gravity; calculate the weights and bearings; consult the plans of Montesquieu, Harrington, Stuart, Hume, Smith,* and others--but consider that never did so much depend on the quality of the materials; ameliorate and innoble them therefore by all means; improve their solidity, firmness, cohesion; animate them with the generous spirit of true freedom: make them say--here we are; place us where we suit best: that is the post of honor, whether in the lowest part of the foundation, or in the towering arch. Then shall your masterly hands rear a grand temple of federal liberty, perennial this western continent, and the sun that glides it with his mild evening rays.
† On the wealth of nations.

ALEXANDRIA, September 27.
Last Wednesday Se'nnight, the house of James Keith, Esq; was broke open by some of the villains who lurk about this town, and robbed of money to a considerable amount.
His Excellency General Washington passed through this town on Saturday last, from Mount Vernon, on his return from the Federal Convention.
New-York, Oct. 5.
On Wednesday last ended the quarterly examination of the Students of Columbia College. The manner in which they performed their respective duties, exhibited the most convincing proofs of their diligence, and application. The business was concluded with a number of orations delivered by different students. The premiums were decided in the following manner, viz. in the Senior class, to Mr. James Cochran; in the Junior, to Mr. Matthew Mesier; in the Sophomore, to Mr. John Graham; and in the Freshman, to Mr. Cave Jones. The premium of eloquence was determined in favor of Mr. John P. Van Nefs.
On Wednesday sen'night his Excellency Gen. Washington passed through Wilmington on his return from Philadelphia to his seat in Mount Vernon; and on the same day, in crossing the bridge near the Head of Elk, the bridge gave way, and his horse fell into the river. His Excellency had alighted in order to walk over the bridge, which fortunate circumstance probably saved a life so dear to his country.
On Saturday last the General Assembly of Pennsylvania resumed the consideration of assembling a Convention within that State for the purpose of deliberating and determining on the Federal Constitution, and in addition to their resolution of the 28th ultimo, which appeared in our paper of Tuesday last, the following resolves were carried in the affirmative.
"Resolved, That the elections for deputies as aforesaid be held at the several places in the said city and counties as are fixed by law for holding the elections for representatives to the General Assembly, and that the same be conducted by the officers who conduct the said elections for the representatives, and agreeably to the rules and regulations thereof."
"Resolved, That the election of deputies as aforesaid shall be held for the city of Philadelphia, and the several counties of this State, on the first Tuesday of November next."
"Resolved, That the persons so elected to serve in Convention shall assemble on the third Tuesday of November at the State-House in the city of Philadelphia."
"Resolved, That the proposition submitted to this House by the Deputies of Pennsylvania in the general Convention of the States, of ceding to the United States, a district of country within this State for the seat of the General Government, and for the exclusive legislation of Congress, be particularly recommended to the consideration of the Convention."
"Resolved, That it be recommended to the succeeding House of Assembly, to make the same allowance to the attending Members of Convention as is made to the Members of the General Assembly, and also to provide for the extraordinary expenses which may be incurred by holding the said elections."
The Assembly then rose, sine die. A dreadful murder was committed some time since in the South of France, on the body of the venerable Marquis d'Allanville, by man servant who had lived with him, up wards of 26 years. Avarice prompted the wretch to the commission of the horrid deed,
and the manner in which he did it is rather extraordinary. It was the custom of this old nobleman to retire to bed every evening at nine o'clock, and on the morning of the day in which the murder was committed he had lost his estate, and had the money in his bedchamber. The wretch went to the bedside, and asked his master if he had said his prayers? To which he replied, "Yes," and with great affection added, "and I did not forget you, Ferdinand, in my prayers." This had such an effect on the fellow that he laid aside his intention, and had recourse to brandy, as a stimulus to harden him; on being intoxicated, he again went to the bedside, and with a razor cut off the Marquis's head; but such was his agitation when he recovered his senses, that he voluntarily confessed the horrid deed, and gave himself up to justice.
A N E C D O T E S.
The virtuous, faithful, and wise statesman Cornelius de Witt, deputy of Holland, in the fleet with Admiral de Ruyter and Captain Brackell, the conqueror of Chatham, who with his own hand set fire to the Royal George, the largest and most beautiful man of war, at that time, in the English navy, on the mighty King of the ocean's own river, was accused by the Stadtholder and the mob (which was generally in favor of the house of Orange in their unjust causes) of keeping correspondence with France to the prejudice and injury of his country, being brought (contrary to every principle and by the sentence of judges, who were bribed by the Prince Stadtholder) to the torture, with unshaken fortitude in the midst of his horrid sufferings, said in a loud voice, "disjoint, tear my body to pieces, but never shall you make me confess a crime I am not guilty of." He then proceeded, "I do cite you all who are conscious of my innocence, before the tribunal of the Righteous Judge of the Universe"--and even when his limbs were quite disjointed on the torture table, and by the means of iron engines and knotted ropes, the cruellest pains were inflicted which ever had been invented; he recited, with the same firm voice these lines of Horace.
Justum, ac tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium; Non vultus instantis tyranni; Mente quatit folica.
Translation.
The man in conscious virtue bold, Who dares his fe ret purpose hold, Unshaken, hears the crowd's tumultuous cries, And the impetuous tyrant's angry brow defies
When Dr. Graham had failed of success in his libidinous lectures, electrical beds, and earth bathing, being in extreme poverty, he was advised by a friend to take up the trade of a methodist preacher. The Doctor at first disapproved of the plan, observing that it was utterly impossible that he should succeed with a sect who was so well acquainted with his previous practices and doctrines; however, in a short time, necessity impelled the Doctor to follow the advice of his friend; and in the North of England he commenced his preaching career, where the Doctor now actually harangues to crowded congregations of methodists. The Doctor's manner in the pulpit is mild, and eloquent, and his encouragement far exceeds the expectations he had formed of the success of his scheme.
MR. CHILDS.
The following character of Governor Jefferson, taken from the travels of the Marquis de Chastellux, cannot fail being acceptable to many of your readers:
AFTER describing Mr. Jefferson's country seat, the Marquis proceeds: "But it is on him alone I ought to bestow my time. Let me describe to you a man not yet forty, tall, and with a mild and pleasing countenance, but whose mind and understanding are ample substitutes for every exterior grace--An American, who, without ever having quitted his own country, is at once a musician, skilled in drawing, a geometrian, an astronomer, a natural philosopher, legislator and statesman--a senator of America, who sat for two years in that famous Congress which brought about the revolution--a Governor of Virginia, who filled that difficult station during the invasions of Arnold, of Philips, and of Cornwallis; a philosopher in voluntary retirement from the world, and public business, because he loves the world, inasmuch only as he can flatter himself with being useful to mankind. Before I had been two hours with him, we were as intimate as if we had passed our whole lives together: walking, books, but, above all, a conversation always varied and interesting, made four days pass away like so many minutes--sometimes natural philosophy, at others, politics, or the arts, were the topics of our conversation; for no object had escaped Mr. Jefferson;--and it seemed, as if from his youth he had placed his mind, as he has done his house, on an elevated situation, from which he might contemplate the universe."
