The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7. From the COLUMBIAN CENTINEL. THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST. No. II. MR. RUSSELL.
STATE SOVEREIGNTY, was once a popular doctrine, and some members of former legislatures, seemed to think it consisted in the sovereignty of the general court over the state, and all its creditors, so far as to make void all state obligations however sanctioned by law, if they should judge them to be unreasonable;—forgetting that the sovereign people had formed a constitution to be a law to legislators, and to guarantee the same, had required an oath of the representatives and senators to "maintain it"—"To the end it may be a government of laws, and not of men," the legislative and judicial powers were to be separate and distinct from each other; but how can this be if the legislature is sovereign and can judge of its own contracts? Is not the right of the people to a trial by jury, destroyed by such an exclusive power in the legislature? Is not this an exercise of the judicial power contrary to the plain letter and meaning of the constitution?—Is not the judicial branch degraded by such assumption of power in the legislative branch of the government?—Is it not extremely dangerous to the equal rights and liberties of the citizens to have the greatest safeguard in the constitution, the judicial power (containing the all important right of trial by a jury) infringed by the legislative branch? If it is capable of a departure from the constitution is permitted, it will soon be sanctioned by "usage." This precedent, may countenance every future infraction, whenever the legislature may think it expedient to exercise the powers vested in the other branches of the government. In this state, no doubt, the representatives have means well; but the people meant to have the constitution observed, or they would not have made it, and sanctioned it by an oath.—Therefore, "to the law, and to the testimony," is the rule for the people and the legislatures.—It is well known, that the cause by which the ancient republics all perished, was their not being properly balanced with three branches, and the most numerous body bearing down the others. Such has ever been the effect of unchartered power, in the most numerous branch of the government; and the experience of past ages, and the present time, proves that such a sovereign power will commit the wildest acts of tyranny. Witness modern France; and see Georgia.
The cause is obvious; a few men generally govern, or lead the representative body by its members ever so numerous, and the ruling few adopt errors, the masses the citizens cannot by any means be safe without the right of appeal to the judicial power for an explanation of the constitution and the laws?
It is evident to all Americans, that a free government cannot exist without the full right of trial by a jury, how then does it come to pass that this right is not preserved? It is owing to ancient custom, was so before the revolution, and the strange power of ancient precedents seems to have been greater with many men, than the new constitution. The people generally keep a watchful eye over the executive branch, but apprehend less danger from the legislative, as its members are numerous and proceed immediately from themselves. In this country the executive power is too weak, and liberty is in danger from this circumstance. But is there not still greater danger that the judicial power may be so impaired as to lose its necessary influence in the government? The legislature is more numerous, and naturally stronger, than the other two branches, and nothing but the vigilance of the people can prevent the balance being totally lost, and the legislators becoming real aristocrats in power. Did we not see one branch of the legislature of the Union contend for the control of the executive power in making treaties?—Have we not seen some state legislatures (besides Georgia) invade the judicial department? The usurping branch will always pretend, "it is to secure the rights of the people." The great principle in the constitution, which separates the three great powers in government, is evidently founded in the highest wisdom; in such a "balanced government of laws," the three branches are checks upon each other;—and not only honest men, but rogues (if such should ever chance to be in power) will guard against encroachments on the department in which they are. But for the people to watch the executive and judicial powers only, is to guard the little gate of the citadel and leave the great gate one open.
CITIZENS. THE GHOST.
An account of a remarkable effort to recover liberty, and which may be depended on as a fact. Near the close of the month of July 1790, the ship Broot, Samuel Oliver commander, left the Island of Antigua, on her passage to Europe. The vessel had not been many days at sea, before one of the seamen, on his watch, was alarmed with the appearance of something, which he fancied to be no other than a ghost: he communicated what he saw, or supposed he had seen, to his messmate. A few nights had now passed since the terror-stricken sailor had divulged his tale, when he, as well as his fellows on the watch, were alarmed by the self same apparition: It moved, according to the account they gave to the chief mate on the relief of the watch
in slow pace all round the forecastle; and after continuing sometime there vanished behind the windlass. The mate affected to laugh at the account; nevertheless he had his fears; and it was agreed on that himself together with the boatswain and several other stout hearted fellows, should assist the watch to discover, if possible, what it was which had so much alarmed the greatest part of the crew. The main deck was accordingly walked by these heroes, night after night, without the ghost making its appearance. Having been upwards of twenty days at sea; the weather in the night became boisterous; the winds blew; the thunder rolled awfully, and the lightning flashed terrifically vivid; all hands were called up to assist the ship by their labors; and in the midst of their professional employ the ghost again made its appearance; and it was now seen by the whole crew (the captain excepted): One of those employed on the quarter deck rushed forwards towards the supposed phantom; and at the instant it seemed within his grasp, a flash of lightning of the most tremendous sort covered it from his sight: This was seen by the men on the yards, who were reefing the several sails, and who, one and all, declared it could be no other than the devil, as he sunk from the attempt of the sailor in a flash of fire. Several of the sailors were positive it could be no other than the evil spirit, for reasons to them the most sufficient; that they missed their beef, their biscuit and their grog, whenever all hands were called on deck; that they had also heard that ghosts could neither eat nor drink; and what confirmed them stronger in their belief of it being no other than Lucifer himself was, from its vanishing the preceding night, in a flame of fire; and some of them were not wanting to give it as their opinion, that he had raised the storm.
The affair of the ghost had now become serious, and the mate accordingly determined on acquainting the captain with the whole business on the following day: This being accordingly done, the captain heard the relation with some surprise, and communicated the mysterious account to his passengers, asking them at the same time their advice. It was agreed upon to walk the deck that night, and there form their opinion of the truth of the report: They began their march about ten, and continued it until the break of day; the ghost or devil did not appear; and bringing to mind what was said by some of our greatest poets, that the troubled spirits haunt our region but while darkness and obscurity fill the void, they retired to their beds, probably well satisfied with the event of their watch. The captain and passengers now pat down the whole story as no other than the effect of imagination in the crew: But the men were not to be thus amused out of an opinion which they all firmly believed; and they still persisted in what they had said and seen: what served to heighten their credulity still more, was an event which had taken place but a few hours before: "Two men," this excited new curiosity; and the captain, finding it would be difficult to prevail over their prejudices, offered a reward to him or them who would discover who or what this devil was. A fellow who had, through the whole of this singular affair, appeared less alarmed than the rest, was the first to undertake the business; and the others of the ship's company readily agreed to assist in the discovery. To work they went, when, after having moved upwards of forty hogheads of sugar, the spirit was discovered asleep in an empty water butt: It was no other than a Negro man of about twenty years of age, who, with a view of recovering his liberty, had sequestered himself. His story, when brought into the cabin, was nearly as follows: That he belonged to a Mr. Alexander Coates, ship builder in the town of St. John's; that his master having sent him in a canoe to get turtle grass, and put it on board this vessel, he accordingly did so, and it being the dusk of the evening when he delivered it, a tho' struck him, that such an opportunity would probably never occur again for his getting to England; he therefore slipped down a rope which was hanging over the stern, put his jacket into a canoe, and keeping hold of the stern rope, cut his boat adrift, and ascended the vessel undiscovered. He now crept into the fore hatchway, and got into the hold, where, finding the empty water-cask, he took out its head, and therein he sequestered himself during the space of thirty three days, seven of which was while the ship lay in St. John's harbor (during which time the canoe had been picked up, and the man given up as drowned); and twenty-six at sea. His manner of living was, when the sailors were all on deck, he would steal out, and pick up what he could find, and carry it to his tub; and also turn out at night when he thought all quiet, to breathe the refreshing air. After the discovery he worked as a seaman, having, previous to this trip made two voyages to Liverpool; and he was named by the sailors Jack Ghost; and those brave fellows seemed rather diverted than hurt by the consternation he had thrown them into.

C O N G R E S S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY—FEBRUARY 5. (Concluded from yesterday's Gazette.) Mr. S. Smith's testimony. When the house was balloting the left his seat to take his letters from the letter box; the house had not adjourned but the members were in conversation in different parts of the house. He passed by Mr. Lyon and the speaker who were in conversation. He was either reading or writing when his attention was called by a conversation behind him; and a question was asked Mr. Lyon as to an opposition in Vermont to the stamp act, and as if Mr. L. was to have brought forward petitions against it. He did not pay particular attention to all the conversation, though it was loud enough; something was said by Mr. G. which he did not hear, but which occasioned a loud laugh; he was afterwards informed this was the question about the wooden sword. Mr. Lyon appeared to be addressing the speaker and saying to him that the members of Connecticut acted against the opinions of their constituents. Mr. Brookes asked whether he had gone through his district. Mr. Lyon said he had and mentioned a few towns. Mr. Brooks jokingly observed that he had been in the back ground as he had frequently been before. Mr. Lyon observed on the better information the people of Vermont had, compared with those of Connecticut.—On this Mr. Brookes good humouredly observed, that they proved this by the great luminary they had sent. Mr. Lyon then observed that the members of Connecticut would always be willing to accept of offices from 5000 dollars salary to 10000. He heard Mr. Lyon in the course of the conversation say, that the members of Connecticut did not speak the sentiments of the people and he seemed to insinuate that they were willing to receive any office; that there were many democrats in Connecticut;—then the speaker said, perhaps this might induce him no longer to confess he had some Connecticut blood in his veins. Mr. Lyon said, democrats in the manner he understood the word; Mr. Griswold removed near Mr. Lyon. He (Mr. L.) observed, that he had had to fight the people of Connecticut in his own district who endeavoured to indispose the people towards him; but he had repelled their attempts and thought he could effect a revolution in sentiment in Connecticut and change the representation; in which the speaker said he would spare one perhaps; he said perhaps he might, for his conduct was more conformable to the opinions of his constituents. But all this was said jokingly. While Mr. Lyon was repeating some of those observations respecting the difference of opinion of the people of Connecticut and their representatives to and of his own district, Mr. G. said he would not be able to change the opinion of the meanest holder in the state.

ment and those of Connecticut the more forcibly from an idea which the people of Connecticut are much enlightened as those of a state of the Union. When Mr. Lyon spoke of fighting the people of Connecticut, and Mr. G. asked whether he fought them with a sword, I looked at Mr. Lyon, and his countenance had not changed. I expected it would have been by a question. Then I either said to Mr. G. or observation to me. A little time after Mr. G. moved his seat and laying his hand on the arm of Mr. L. to draw a question, said to him, if you went into Connecticut you would not be able to change the sentiments of the meanest holder. Mr. L. said he knew the people of Connecticut, and that he had a notion to go and set up a president in that state and fight them on their own ground; then Mr. G. continuing his hand on Mr. L.'s arm, advised him when he went into Connecticut to take the wooden sword he got in the army, or words to that effect, upon which Mr. L. spit in his face. I observed Mr. G. take one step back, and stiffen his arm, as that I expected a blow would be the consequence; but one of his colleagues leapt up to him and said we had better take time to consider of this; I said, this is neither a proper time nor place, when Mr. G. and his colleague walked away. Mr. Brookes concurred by observing that his testimony differed from the speaker's only as a part differed from the whole, and that what he had witnessed was stated with perfect accuracy; by the speaker, and of course he did not think it necessary to go as much into detail as he otherwise would have done. Mr. Macon. Did not Mr. Lyon say that the people of Connecticut were deceived by the printers? A. He said that the representatives of Connecticut deceived their constituents, and administered opiates to them; that he should go there he would nudeceive them; that only one side was permitted to be published in Connecticut; I do not know whether he said absolutely, that the printers would only publish on one side. Mr. Harper. Did Mr. G. express himself with anger or did he appear jelling? A. He spoke with the most perfect good humor. There was nothing in his manner irritating. Mr. Clay. How often did you hear Mr. G. mention the wooden sword. I think the speaker said three times. Mr. Speaker. I only heard the expression twice. Mr. Brookes. Only twice; first when sitting, then when standing by Mr. Lyon. Mr. Lyon. You said you knew what I meant by the allusion to the wooden sword; then did you expect that I could allude coolly? A. I said that was that allusion; this is a matter of opinion; 20 different gentlemen would have received it in 20 different ways. Mr. Lyon. Did you expect it would terrify the good humor or not? A. This is not a proper question; it is a matter of opinion. However, I will observe in answer, that I heard so much about the wooden sword, and of the conversation of which the speaker spoke, that I perceived the allusion as not intended to provoke; and if I had thought that the conversation which have followed would have followed, I certainly would have mentioned Mr. G. not to repeat the question: I did not expect it would have been resented, at least on the floor. Mr. Brent. From the knowledge you had of the circumstances of the story of the wooden sword, did you suppose the gentleman from Vermont would bear allusions to it without being irritated? This is a proper question; to which a plain answer ought to be given. Messrs. Rutledge and Otis contended the question was improper. Mr. Brent defended its propriety. The chairman declared it improper. Mr. Macon appealed from the decision of the chair, on the ground that there was an order of the house, saying that the chairman should determine on the propriety of questions. The decision of the chairman was confirmed 58 to 25, and Mr. Brent's question was, consequently, not put. Mr. Nicholas. Was not the circulation of the wooden sword, in the public and private conversations mentioned a disgraceful to Mr. Lyon? A. I never did consider it as very disgraceful. I did consider it as disgraceful. Mr. Nicholas. Was it not meant to injure Mr. Lyon? A. I was not the author of the allusion, of course I do not know what view they were made. Mr. Nicholas. Did they not carry that appearance? A. Yes. Mr. Gallatin. Had you any previous knowledge of Mr. Lyon's feeling on the subject in question? A. No previous knowledge whatever. Mr. Gallatin. When Mr. Griswold and his colleague walked away, did the member from Vermont stay, and was there any conversation among the witnesses after the fact took place? A. Mr. G. and his colleague left the bar; and I believe the house; Mr. Speaker also left the bar, and I said to Mr. L. who remained; you have got into trouble. He answered, "he provoked me." I replied it would not do to revenge provocations in this place. Mr. Gallatin. By my former question I wished to know whether you remembered any thing which applied to the speaker after the fact occurred. A. After some objection to this question as improper and irrelevant. Mr. Speaker expressed his surprise that the member from Pennsylvania did not address this question to him, instead of the

from New-York. He then answered, saying, that no words escaped his lips after the translation but these four, it is too much.
Mr. Galtin said his reason for not asking the speaker the question, was that he had already stated even his feelings at the time of the transaction, and that he supposed, therefore, he had stated all he did recollect, and that, therefore, it was probable he had forgotten the circumstance upon which he received the information.
Mr. W. Williams. You have said, that when Mr. G. mentioned the wooden sword, it brought a pressing question. Why did you think it a pressing question.
Mr. Shephard concurred the question important. Witnesses were never asked for their ideas, impressions or opinion; but for facts.
Mr. Nicholas put the same question in form. What facts were within your knowledge, that made you consider this as a pressing question.
Mr. W. Williams said he conceived that a witness spoke of certain impressions being made on his mind it was proper to enquire what circumstances led to those impressions.
Mr. Brooks. I said it was a pressing question. It must strike every gentleman, that so intimate to another than he has been educated from the army, whether it be done purposely or in earnest could not be a pleasant question. But it did not strike me, under all circumstances, that it would have been in the circumstance it has produced.
The committee rose, reported progress and the house adjourned.
Tuesday, February 6. Mr. Mason thought the experience of yesterday proved, that the mode adopted in the examination of witnesses on the subject of the committee of privileges, was not the best. In his opinion the course adopted in the trial of Whitney and Randal would be far preferable. He therefore proposed the following motion:
Resolved, That when the house examines the report of the committee of privileges and in every question propounded to a member by a witness, shall be reduced to writing, and a motion be made that the same be put by the speaker.
This motion, after a few observations, was negatived 53 to 32.
The Speaker laid before the house a report of the secretary of the treasury, in pursuance of the references which had been made to him on the subject of a light, prayed for on Eaton's Neck, near the harbour of Newport, Rhode-Island, and with respect to certain buoys to be placed in the said harbour. He recommends the measure, and states that a sum not exceeding 200 dollars will be necessary for the former object, and a sum not exceeding 2,500 dollars for the latter. This report was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures, with instructions to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Harper, from the committee of ways and means, made a report on the petitions of Matthew A. D'Onovan, and others, respecting an addition to their salaries of one hundred dollars, making the salary allowed to each of them 2,000 dollars in the whole. Referred to the committee of the whole to whom has been referred the bill making appropriations for the support of government for the year 1798.
Mr. Foster, from the committee of claims, made an unfavourable report on the petition of Joshua Wood, who prayed for payment for certain supplies furnished during the war. Concurred in by the house.
Mr. Otis presented a memorial from the rope-makers and cordage manufacturers of Boston, praying for encouragement to their business. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Sitgreaves, from the managers appointed to conduct the impeachment against William Blount, said, he was directed to inform the house, that, in consequence of official arrangements made for the purpose, the managers would exhibit the articles of impeachment to the senate, to-morrow at 12 o'clock.
The house then again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the committee of privileges, on the dispute between Mr. Lyon and Mr. Griswold. Mr. Dent in the chair; when Mr. Hofmer, from New-York, proceeded to give his evidence which differed a little, as far as it went from that delivered by the speaker.
Mr. Dana was next called upon. Mr. D. said his feelings were pretty strongly interested in the business before the house; and as there were other gentlemen more particularly interested with the transaction, for reasons which were satisfactory to himself, he would rather be excused from giving an account of the business, except it should be deemed necessary. He said he was given his testimony before the committee of privileges, and it had occasioned some unpleasant remarks. He had, therefore, no desire to place himself in the same situation again, and hoped he should be excused.
After some few observations from different members, the sense of the committee was taken on the subject, and it was against his being excused.
Mr. Dana, from Connecticut, then gave his evidence. It differed principally from that of the other members, in giving an account of the conversation which passed between him and Mr. Lyon before the Speaker came up to them & cautioned them to be cool. This conversation, it seems, arose from Mr. Williams of N. Y. having told Mr. Dana, that Mr. Lyon had said to him, "that the representatives from Connecticut would all be turned out, if they voted against Mr. Nicholas's amendment." Mr. Dana questioned Mr. Lyon on the subject, and Mr. Lyon replied that he had not said so, but "that they would all be turned out, if they carried their point" and it was afterwards explained to be "that the president should have power to appoint men to offices where the appointments were not authorized by law." The warmth which the Speaker interrupted, was principally occasioned by the one denying and the other maintaining that this was the object of Mr. Nicholas's motion.
Mr. Coit, from Connecticut, was next called upon. His evidence was less full and particular than any of the preceding, as he professed he took but little notice of the conversation which he heard passing.
Judge Chapman, a senator from Vermont, was next examined. His evidence principally went to prove the manner in which he had heard the wooden sword, and the cashiering of Mr. Lyon, spoke of in the state of Vermont, and the manner in which Mr. Lyon bore it. He referred particularly to two conversations which took place in companies where he was present with Mr. Lyon, and the subject was introduced. In the first of which he had produced it without
giving any offence; in the other he stated, that Mr. Lyon said, "that he should take no notice of any thing which should be said upon the subject in that part of the country; but if any one should insult him with it at Philadelphia, it should not pass with impunity."
Mr. Goodrich, from Connecticut, now rose to state what he knew of the subject. His testimony related to what passed between Mr. Lyon, Mr. Otis, Mr. Champlin and himself, in the stage from New-York to this city, which had relation principally to Mr. Lyon's having been cashiered, and his having worn the wooden sword, which he himself had, in a great degree, voluntarily given them an account of.
Mr. Champlin, from Rhode-Island, was next called upon; but, upon his declaring that his evidence was exactly to the same effect with that just delivered by Mr. Goodrich, he did not think it necessary to take up the time of the committee with delivering it, and hoped he should be excused. The committee excused him.
Mr. Lyon understood general Sumpter, from South-Carolina, could give some information to the committee; he requested therefore, he might be sworn.
Mr. Sumpter declared he knew nothing of the business, except what he had heard from Mr. Lyon soon after the affair happened.
After some observations, however, Mr. Sumpter was sworn, and proceeded to give a narrative of what Mr. Lyon said to him, when he was interrupted by Mr. Bayard, who declared his evidence incompetent, as it was not only hearsay evidence, but came from one of the parties. It was argued, on the other hand, by Messrs. Nicholas and Galtin, that it had been doubted whether Mr. Lyon had heard Mr. Griswold when he first mentioned the wooden sword, the evidence of Mr. Sumpter would go to show that he did, as Mr. Lyon told him so, immediately after the affair happened.
It was at length agreed, that that precise question should be put to Mr. Sumpter, viz. Whether Mr. Lyon told him that he heard Mr. Griswold address him twice on the subject of the wooden sword? which Mr. Sumpter answered in the affirmative.
The Speaker enquired of Mr. Sumpter, if he knew the moment at which the insult was committed, and how long time elapsed between that and the period at which Mr. Lyon had spoken to him on the subject?
Mr. Sumpter declaring he did not know precisely the time at which the insult was offered; but that he believed from the agitation of Mr. Lyon, it was just before he spoke to him on the subject.
The Speaker again asked him, whether he knew Mr. Lyon did, or did not, or could, or could not, have spoken to any other member, before he spoke to him?
Mr. Sumpter declared he could not be certain of this. At the request of Mr. Lyon, general Varnum was sworn, but a motion being made for the committee to rise, no question was put to him.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7.
MARRIED — Last evening, by the Right Reverend Bishop White, Mr. James West, of Baltimore, merchant, to Miss BLOOMER, daughter of Samuel BLOOMER, Esq. of this city.
DIED — On Thursday, the 11th inst. in the 55th year of his age, ABRAHAM OGDEN, Esq. Attorney of the United States for the district of New-Jersey.
The committee of the Senate of Pennsylvania on the subject of the contested election of Israel Israel, brought in a report this day, which is against the validity of his election.
By the ship Fair American, capt. Tredwell, was brought a large reflecting telescope, for the college of New-Jersey. It is four feet in length, and seven inches in diameter, and fitted up for celestial observations in a new and most complete stile. This forms the last of twelve packages containing a neat and various apparatus for philosophical experiments, the gift of the state to the college.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Monroe must be taken in the position he has placed himself, by his book. Ministers have been, in Congress, and elsewhere, called honorable or privileged spies at a foreign court, for their own court or country. An appeal is made to every unprejudiced man who has read Mr. Monroe's book, whether he has not reversed this order; whether he did not, throw himself into the cabinet of France, tutored for that purpose, by certain honorable spies of France here; and throughout his embassy continued to govern himself by the information derived from these spies. Certain it is, he never acted upon, or according to his instructions; and was always industrious (by inuendo projects in favor of and schemes for raising loans for France, and entertaining apostates while writing the most false and scurrilous attacks on the first character in this or any other country, Washington) to promote the views of France; even did they extend to destroy the neutrality and endanger the peace and independence of his own country.
It is observed by a Correspondent that Mr. Lyon furnished the means of his own condemnation, as to former character, before the committee of privileges, even if there is nothing behind, as has been somewhere hinted, of exciting the soldiers to mutiny. As the late affair in the House of Representatives may affect our national character, in that of our legislature, and of which too few Americans are at this day sufficiently tenacious, it is to be lamented; otherwise it may do good, because the punishment of an offending member, will tend to restrain such law and disorderly behaviour, in others. He further observes, it is remarkable that the Jacobin spirit is never satisfied with a settled and orderly state of society, even when they are at the head and have the power in their own hands. They wish to denounce when they are opposed in their views, and left they should be opposed. This has been fully exemplified within a few years past. The spirit is the same every where. When they have the power, they come forward at once, and attack the citadel; when they are "the virtuous minority" they begin at a distance to sound the alarms; and afterwards grow more desperate. This is evidenced in the conduct of the corps in the proposed amendment on the Foreign Intercourse Bill. The proceeding of the party in this business more clearly proves to the mind of our correspondent the truth of the observation, "that it is not so much a dislike to Great-Britain or a love for France, as a deep rooted hatred both to our Constitution and Government."

Extract of a letter from Mr. Joseph Folger, mate of the ship Governor Bowdoin dated at Port Louis, Isle of France, 12th October, 1797, to his owner here. After giving the particulars of the capture of that ship, on the 1st September, of Capedes Arguilles (near the Cape of G. Hope) by a French 16 gun ship from Bourdeaux which after taking out all the crew (14 in number) except the captain and four others, carried the remainder to the Isle of France, Under every government there will always be a number of discontented persons. Ambitious men, who thirst for power, for place, or for pensions, will always rail against that administration in which they are not allowed to bear a part; and will revile those whom they envy. Impious men, who trample upon the authority of God, impugn his religion, and perhaps deny his being, can never be expected peaceably to submit to the authority of their fellow-creatures. Men who have spent their own in extravagance and dissipation, and see no other way to furnish themselves with the means of continuing the same course of life, may hope to retrieve their fortunes by raising or fomenting

convulsions in the state. He whose conscience allowed him to squander what was his own, will feel little remorse in attempting to reimburse himself with the spoils of his country. Men addicted to those crimes which the laws of all civilized nations punish, will readily cry out against the laws, as unjust; and against those who execute them, as tyrannical. The thief will complain if he cannot steal with impunity; the highwayman may think it hard that he cannot follow his calling undisturbed; and the dealer in unlicensed goods may grumble because smuggling is reckoned a crime. It is not to be wondered at, if even honest men complain of their burdens, which from their peculiar circumstances, fall heavy upon themselves. The West-India merchant may complain of the duties on sugar and rum; the distiller, the tax on his still, and others in similar circumstances, may be dissatisfied with the excise laws; and so on. When, among any of these classes of men, there arises a portion of a turbulent spirit, and capable of speaking or writing plausibly, he may easily raise a fermentation in the minds of well meaning labourers and mechanics; who by their situation in life have little opportunity to read, to think, or to know much about matters of government. This he will find the more easy, if he catches the time when an accidental scarcity of provision or stagnation of trade, deprives them of employment or of bread. He will tell them that all this is owing to government; that they will never be better while the present system continues; and that nothing but a revolution will keep them from starving. Nor is it any wonder if they, in the simplicity of their hearts, believe him; and all cry out for a change. But, if we must have a revolution whenever such things as these happen, no nation on earth will be a year without them; and that government which is most friendly to liberty will always be soonest overthrown; because a government really tyrannical, would dispatch the man without ceremony, and perhaps without noise, who should attempt to inflame people's minds by their writings or speeches; so that few would venture to give such umbrage; and the means of circulating discontent or forming combinations, would be very limited. As no wise man will begin to build a house, till he first sit down to count the cost; so no wise people will attempt to overturn their government, till they have seriously weighed the consequences; and have at least, a probability that the cure will not be worse than the disease. And though they should at last perhaps be successful in the struggle, how much blood and treasure will be expended; and what accumulated calamities must be suffered before the end can be gained? The Dutch provinces were not emancipated, till after a war of forty years, in which millions of lives were lost, and many millions of money. They often suffered miseries during the contest, that we cannot see human nature supporting without astonishment. All this, no doubt, redounded to their honor, when at last, their Lyon emerged free. But would they not have been arrant fools, if they had exposed themselves to all this for no cause; or on account of some trifling inconvenience. Surely, before we bring ourselves into such a situation, we should seriously consider, whether any evils we suffer, are equal to those to which we would expose ourselves; or whether that which we seek after, is of that importance, as, on its account, to put to hazard at once what we enjoy and what we may suffer? (To be continued.)
where they arrived on the 3d October, 1797. They took myself and eight more of our people out with a guard, and carried us on board a prison ship; after we had been four days imprisoned, they permitted me to go on shore about my business without victim or clothes, or a farthing of money to help myself. In this situation I was kindly received by captain John Crowninshield, Salem, and entertained on board his ship and here had the like invitation from several other American commanders. They still retain on board the prison ship. Our ship has not arrived here, but I am in hope she will be in soon."
