AN ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator.
(Continued from No. 88.)
WARS carried on for liberty, religion, honor, and in the last defence of country, life, parents, wives and children, have produced those efforts of heroism, that will forever astonish the world. The Numantines, a people in ancient Spain, closely besieged by Scipio Africanus, and denied any terms that brave men could accept, determined to die sword in hand: they made a vigorous sally, in which a great number was slain: the remainder fed upon these: being disappointed in a desperate attempt to retreat, they strangled their wives out of love: and having made a loud lamentation over their cruel destiny, they set fire to the city and perished to a man. Some by the flames, others by their swords or poison. It is remarkable, that this gallant people drew upon them this furious war by their fidelity to unfortunate allies. When the Hollanders were overwhelmed by the unequal power of Lewis the 14th, they refused, in case of extremity, to abandon their country, and go to the new colonies in the East Indies: they had for this purpose, embarked their families and best moveables on board of a large fleet ready to sail at a moment's warning. Christiern the tyrant massacred at one time 200 of the principal Swedes, and among them the father of Gustavus Vasa. To make this hero lay down his arms, he threatened to put his mother to a cruel death. She wrote her son a magnanimous letter, beseeching him not for a moment to slacken his warlike operations, but to think only of Sweden the common mother: and was immediately ordered to sew with her own hands the bag in which she was thrown into the sea. Among the first German reformers in the 14th century, was Zisca, a valiant commander. He desired his partizans to take off his skin when dead, and to make a drum of it, promising them by his last words victory over the Catholics, whenever it was used. The event verified the prophecy—animated by this relique of their admired hero, with zeal for a religion sacred to him and them, they performed wonders, and by enthusiastic bravery often defeated numerous battalions of veterans.
But as this life is but a state of trial, the greatest virtues can only be exerted in scenes of distress—Nations, that, in a common danger, were a band of brothers, faithful in life and death, in time of prosperity forget that they are fellow citizens; quarrel like bad children about glittering toys; and sometimes thirst for each others blood.
The GRAND INTEREST of the United States is to preserve that INDEPENDENCY acquired by the miseries of a seven years war: by the patriotic sacrifice of so much property, and the utter ruin of so many families; by the most painful efforts against a severe and powerful enemy; by dreadful hardships under hunger, cold, disease and captivity; by illustrious victories, and the capture of two gallant armies. Shall America wantonly break that POLITICAL UNION, of which every limb is marked with the blood of her bravest sons, the tears of parents, children, and conjugal mates! Must not those be execrable traitors, who will change into anarchy, a liberty bought with such a price, such mighty woe.
The cause of America kindled a dreadful war in the four quarters of the globe, and cost several nations torrents of blood; will she not appear infamous to the world, if her madness shall renew those horrid scenes! Almighty God convulsed several realms to establish her grand empire; will he not deem her a murderer of sister nations of herself and her children, a traitress against HIMSELF, if she with sacrilegious hands tears the bonds of this empyre, and makes it a theatre of horrid war.
These are important, awful, and tender considerations, that should be warmly impressed on the minds of Americans. In case of foreign invasion or civil tumults, what man can say, my life and property is safe—who knows but cruel necessity may force him to fire on the rank where his brother stands; to fight in the cause, of which, his father is a determined enemy, and by his very victory, blood and death, bring him into a prison or upon a scaffold. This is by no means declamation. We need not consult the history of other nations, or enter upon a critical estimate of national virtue, to find whether the United States can be safe without a strong national government. Has not one of the most civilized states been agitated with disastrous civil tumults! Does not Vermont hesitate whether it shall be a member of the Union? yet it has a military spirit, and the congenial good qualities. Do not the back inhabitants pretend to set up new States at their own pleasure? Is not Rhode-Island divided in two parties, contrary as light and darkness, to wit, honest men and knaves! The tender laws and finance schemes of several Governments, that
are so oppressive to many of their own people, evidently prove, that without the co-ercion of a federal power, internal peace cannot long be preserved in the respective States. To expect that they should continue in peace with each other, would be the highest absurdity.
I grant that the American character is not severe; but it is undoubtedly marked with an overdriven sense of liberty, and has in great numbers been soured by the animosities of a long civil war, and the embarrassments that have continued ever since—these causes necessarily inflame that propensity to party, common to all free countries, and always destructive without a proper check. Sweden was on the eve of a civil war, which nothing but the late revolution prevented. Great-Britain would soon crumble into heptarchies, or at least act over the long civil war, if the democratic part of the constitution should become too weighty—yet these countries have natural checks and habits unknown in America. But what should be the objects of mutual hostility, if the states are not controuled by a federal power! Alas! human nature is every where too prone to discover these—in America they are many and obvious. The western territory would be a fruitful source of contest—The disputed limits of some states another; as is too evident in the Wyoming contest—A third may very probably arise from the discovery of gold or silver mines, or some very precious materials, for manufactures and trade in the vast unexplored regions—A fourth may be foreign and inland commerce: Billingsport, f. e. that commands the Delaware, may suggest to the state of New-Jersey the idea of demanding a toll, like that of the Danish Sound. In case of disputes, the great states would not probably stand upon compliments with the small; and their superiority alone might inspire a dangerous ambition. When a fire was unhappily kindled, religious prejudices, local and personal animosities would as usual be a dangerous fuel. And to all this, that indigence and uneasiness under the present difficulties, but much more the idleness and profligacy of manners, that has increased so rapidly, would furnish numerous soldiers of fortune; and the military spirit kept alive since the late war, would, in many, be like a sword in the hands of a madman.
(To be continued.)
New-York, Oct. 9.
Last Sunday morning the company of Grenadiers, and the Light Infantry of Colonel Variel's regiment, paraded at the Burnt-Church in the Broad-way, and from thence marched to the Baptist-Church, where a Sermon, adapted to the occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Gano.
In this discourse the Doctor pointed out the duty of a soldier, together with the dangers and hardships to which he is necessarily exposed while in the discharge of his duty; and concluded with an animated address to the officers and men present, exhorting them to unite the characters of a Christian and a soldier; and be always ready and willing to defend those inestimable liberties, which have been purchased with the loss of so much blood and treasure.
In the ship Governor Clinton, which arrived here yesterday in thirteen weeks from St. Peterburgh, came passenger, Mr. John Franklin, merchant, of this city.
Sunday se'nnight failed from Boston the ship Columbia, and sloop Washington, commanded by Captain J. Kendrick, and Captain R. Gray, on an enterprising voyage to Kamschatka, on the Western part of this continent. The object of this voyage is to open an intercourse between these States and the natives of that distant country, by trading with them for furs, which commodity, it is said, that country abounds in. The greatest commercial advantages are expected to be derived from this intercourse.
On Saturday se'nnight the ceremony of opening Malden-bridge, near Boston, was performed by firing a cannon, and the regaling of the workmen, at the expence of the proprietors. In the afternoon the established toll was received from all passengers who crossed the bridge.
A gentleman, lately returned from Cadiz, relates a very ludicrous affair, which happened in that city about the middle of June last. The Monks of the great convent of Capuchins having punished their cook a little too severely for getting drunk, he mixed a quantity of opium in their sauce at supper, and when they were fast asleep shaved their Reverences' beards, and made his escape before they were able to rise in the morning. The poor Monks remain confined to their convent, till their beards shall acquire a decent size to render it practicable for them to appear in public, with their friends.
A letter from London says, "Orders are issued from the Admiralty-office to equip and completely man 27 sail of the line, which are to have three months provision on board. Their destination is not yet made public, but from this and other concurring circumstances, it seems that if
we are not in expectation of a war, our Ministry at least wisely put themselves upon their guard. Indeed the amazing number of ships that are getting ready in the several ports of France and Spain, is a circumstance that demands cautious attention. Orders are also gone to all the seaports in the Mediterranean, to prevent any seamen of Great Britain from entering into foreign service, and to recall them home, and most of our colliers, homeward bound, are put into Harwich; the men having received information that press warrants are out, absolutely refuse to come up any further. Orders were received at the King's brew-house to begin last Monday, and to brew every day, Sunday included. Eight ovens more than have been for some time, are likewise ordered to be opened at the King's bake-house, and the bakers to work extra in baking of biscuit to supply the ships ordered for sea."
MR. CHILDS,
NOTHING could more effectually have advanced Colonel Hamilton in the esteem of the public, than the late impotent and scurrilous attacks, which have been levelled against him. What greater satisfaction could they desire, than to see his few, but industrious enemies unable to support a single charge, which their malignity had fabricated! Altho' few have had a more difficult walk assigned them—although few have been more narrowly watched by persons disposed to torture every expression into a criminal design—his integrity and patriotism have bid defiance to them all. But why enlarge upon a character, not more universally known than respected? Or why advance any other, or more unequivocal test of the falsity of the calumnies alleged against it, than the universal indignation excited by the Inspector, and other pieces from the same quarter? Heretofore, men, high in office, and of whom their fellow-citizens were inclined to think well, when publicly arraigned, have had no tongue or pen, but their own, employed in their defence. Even the authors of such attacks, when known, have been publicly caressed, and their compositions eagerly bought up and admired, while the objects of them, either conscious of guilt, or finding the stream of popular odium too strong to resist, have been compelled, after a dull and languid effort at vindication, to shrink behind a cloud, too gross to be dispelled by many years of disimulation and hypocrisy. While the feelings of such culprits demand a tear of pity, how envied must be the sensations of that man, who finds an advocate in every citizen! Who spurns, with silent contempt, the rude and unsupported inuendoes of calumny; yet finds it impossible, however anxious, to impose the same restraint on others, who think it a duty to embrace the occasion of his absence, to pay their tribute of praise to virtues, in which this great and rising empire long have, and will long continue to repose, the highest confidence.
PHILOPOLITIS.
8th Oct. 1787.
From the New-Jersey Journal, of the 3d instant.
Mr. Kollock,
THE United States keep a table for the purposes of national dignity—Mistaken idea. Governmental dignity does not depend upon turtle soups or fricasées, but upon the rigorous execution of the laws, the preservation of public faith, the payment of national debts, and the delicate distinction of its society.—National hospitality might be used as a state expedient to promote federal sentiments, and remove the prejudices of some hungry demagogues to congressional government.—The clamor of patriots is often the effect of hunger, and is as often hush'd by a sop in the pan. The political Cerberus should be patted, stroked, and fed, not with livers and lights, but with calf's head, and they will soon, like the spaniel, crawl on their belly, wag their tail, and kiss your feet. When they are in this situation, you may put brass collars on them, engraved U. S. Cherry-street; and you may couple the hungry pack with federal chains, mount the state horses, and pursue the ant federal Fox, with a tallio! tallio! hoiks..
If hospitality is used as a weapon of party, you may embarrass some of your opponents who would sacrifice the idol popularity if it cost a dinner.
Man is called an animal rationalis, but reason seldom governs him.—The passions and appetites are the keys of the instrument, which produce concord, if touched with address, and discord, if handled awkwardly. There are some minds which would not be convinced by reasoning, yet may be influenced by four Claret and meagre Champaigne. National hospitality should have a political design, and should not be lavished on flagitious and notorious enemies of the United States, because they can return invitations; nor upon European debtors who are fugitives from their creditors, because they are strangers; nor on English factors, riders, pattern carriers, &c. who will criticize your porter and roast beef, and will analyze with a sensible, experien-
ced, and national sagacity, your calapafies and calapees. This is not society which does credit to the hospitality of the United States.
