An ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator.
(Continued from No. 832.)
IN America, a select choice of scenes and events of the late war should be made for such compositions; and neither honor nor emolument should be spared for authors of great talents, for they are, in such employment, both ornaments and supports of their country. The best songs made then should also be collected—it is a shame that the militia should not know them. When polite learning shall become more general, many officers will be capable of eloquent harangues to their corps. We sometimes read very good ones in the gazettes, and those made in Massachusetts have, no doubt, done much to animate the loyal militia. A military spirit is not sufficiently roused by the manual exercise, and the same smooth manœuvres on a plain; no, it requires the image of real war. Let them sometimes fire powder on each other; if some grains should stick in a young fellow's face, or the fire should singe his curls, a fine American girl will think him the handsomer. Let them seem in earnest with the bayonets; no matter if they tear the waistcoat, and draw a little blood. Let the gallant horse swallow the ground with fierceness, smell the battle, say ha, ha, among the trumpets, and almost rush upon the glittering steel. In most parts of this country woods, waters, and rugged scenes, give opportunity for a display of art, dexterity, celerity, and strength, in a variety of marches, retreats, attack and defence—the occasional damage thereby done to property may be compensated; nor are the accidental bruises to be regarded; even the loss of a life once a year is nothing in comparison to such means of national safety. In these agreeable military plays, the scenes of Saratoga, York-Town, Eutaw, Stoney-Point, Trenton, &c. &c. might be called up; and often, by a proper contrivance, and favor of local situation, be made to resemble the originals. Favorite pieces of military music should be named by favorite exploits and events; the solemn and heroic mournful may also be taken from the catastrophes of Savannah, Charlestown, &c. The sad remembrance of national wo, and fidelity in distress, is a noble bond of Union. The standards should be decorated with federal emblems and inscriptions. The necessity and happiness of a Federal Union will suggest many, and very expressive. The branches of the sturdy oak, that mock the storm, die, when torn from the parent tree—the paws of the dead lion are devoured by vermin.
The militia laws of the continent are very different, and have a various, mixed complexion of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy. I will not enter on political arrangement, but only observe, that military power cannot, like the civil, be divided and balanced; that a soldiery, body of Officers, and Commander in Chief, corresponding to a House of Representatives, Senate, and Governor, would be a monstrous absurdity, never heard of; that no checks can easily be adopted by the mode of chusing the militia officers of the different ranks, and much less by a distribution of the national defence among independent chiefs. That the militia of any State could act without or against the consent of a Federal Head, is an antediluvian, dangerous idea; because, whether they act against foreign enemies, or internal rebels, they fight for the Union. Who then shall order them to draw or sheathe their swords, but the Federal Power that is the guardian of this Union?
In time of an invasion, the Federal Government must undoubtedly have a full command over the militia; especially as the army raised for the occasion may neither be large enough, nor at first, in point of discipline, equal to veteran troops: a necessity may, therefore, often exist, for calling the militia into the most trying scenes, and to the defence of remote States. In the deplorable event of a rebellion, the loyal militia, whether near or distant, must exert themselves, under a Federal Head, against their unnatural fellow members. If two or more States should come to hostilities, though without any rebellious design against the Union, it is the same case. A riot within any State, may, indeed, be quelled by its Executive power; but an open rebellion is an evidence of some fatal disorder. If it arises from mal-administration of the Government, the ruling party must be corrected by the Federal power: If the Insurgents are in the wrong, they rebel in fact against the Union, because the State as a part of it, is entitled to its protection; and because their success might introduce a change of government and laws pernicious to the Union; and by which this unhappy State may be finally cut off—whatever is the real situation of affairs, the confederacy must undoubtedly take cognizance of it; it must declare if a rebellion exists, or a corruption of government, which is worse, and take necessary Federal measures against it.
* Job 39.
In any dangerous internal tumults, the Federal head must have power to appoint a commander in chief of the Federal troops and loyal militia: even when the disorder is confined within one State—for if the Government is in the fault, it surely cannot be trusted; if the Insurgents are rebels, the person or persons invested with the executive power may want capacity in such arduous task; besides that Federal authority would be more respected, and much less odious.
I do not pretend to judge of the late insurrection in Massachusetts, but by facts generally known; from common sense, the examples of Switzerland and other countries, it is however evident, that the interference of Federal power would soon have restored peace and order, and prevented many great calamities. This Federal chief must also have power to supercede those militia officers, who may be defective in military talents, of Federal virtue, especially general officers and Colonels inclusive, because these may often have separate commands, and such a degree of discretionary power as enables them to do much harm without incurring danger from a Court martial—especially as in a civil war treachery is regarded as fidelity by numbers, who have more of party spirit, than a sense of honor. We must consider that when government and national manners are similar, or general causes produce discontent, a rebellion is a sure mark of some terrible disease in the body politic, which though only broke out in one limb, lurks in others—the tumults of one State may, therefore, without a speedy remedy, spread through the confederacy, and be eventually more dangerous than a foreign invasion. Upon the principle of national safety, the ancient Romans created in any public danger the awful power of a dictator, who by all means was to take care that the republic should not suffer: and modern free countries know the necessity of martial law, when the people will not be governed by the civil. It is true that great power can never be exercised without some abuse; among the actors in dreadful scenes, many must want sense and humanity. Yet, to check the operations of a Federal power so necessary, by divers clogs, would be extremely unwise. If this city was on fire, would the people quarrel about the quotas of expence, and personal service? or would they keep their sons at home for fear of their being bruised or even burnt? This Federal power would undoubtedly act with more discretion, generosity and mildness, than any particular State government, because it must be more impartial and regular—When brothers fight, the father is a better arbiter than any of the other sons. I had an opportunity of conversing much with all sorts of men in the late war, and never observed in the continental troops these animosities that influenced the militia and royalists, who frequently were guilty of shocking outrages; 1000 no doubt have remarked the same. The continental officers behaved in general with generosity, when they so often had reason to affront sordid wretches, even of their own party, who, living in security and affluence, refused to alleviate the distress of those, whom they regarded as protectors of their liberty, property, and families.

* Ne quid detrimenti capiat respublica.
AUGUSTA, September 25.
Extract of a letter from John Sevier, Esq. Governor of the State of Franklin, to his honor the Governor of this State, dated Mount Pleasant, August 30, 1787.
“RESPECTING the conduct of the Creeks I think it extraordinary indeed, that they should have the impudence to demand any white person as a retaliation, when it is notoriously known, they were the first aggressors, and that they have frequently, and indiscriminately, murdered our good and peaceable citizens for many months past.
“The two inclosed letters from Colonels Robertson and Bledsoe, will inform you of the many murders and ravages committed in that country by the Creeks: also of the fate of Capt. Davenport, and some others in the Chickesaw nation. From past experience, I believe, every overture made by that perfidious nation, the Creeks, is intended for a deception.—The State of Georgia may be convinced that we will encounter every difficulty, in order to raise a formidable force to act in conjunction with your army, in case of a campaign.
“We have lately been informed from Virginia, that a number of gentlemen in that State are ready to join us as volunteers.
“Our Assembly sat but a few days, and adjourned to the 17th of September. They ordered 400 men to be raised for the defence of our frontiers; they will be stationed in the vicinity of Chikamaugah.” Extract of a letter from Colonel Robertson, to the Governor of the State of Franklin, dated Nashville (Cumberland) August 1, 1787.
“By accounts from the Chickesaws, we
are informed, that at a Grand Council held in the Creek nation, it was unanimously determined to do their utmost, this fall, to cut off this country, and we expect the Cherokees have joined them.
“On the 5th of July, a party of Creeks killed Captain Davenport, agent for Georgia, and three more in the Chickesaw nation, wounded three and took one prisoner; which the Chickesaws are not able to resent for want of ammunition.
“The people are drawing together in large stations, and do every thing necessary for their defence; but, I fear, without some timely assistance, we shall chiefly fall a sacrifice. Ammunition is very scarce, and a Chickesaw now here, tells us, that they imagine to reduce our station by killing our cattle, &c. and starve us out.
“We expect they are now on their way to this country to the number of a thousand.”
Extract of a letter from Col. Bledsoe, to the Governor of the State of Franklin, dated Summer County, August 5, 1787.
“The savages are daily committing the most cruel outrages:—Poor Major Hall and his eldest son, fell a sacrifice to their fury two days ago, near Bledsoe's Lick. They have killed about twenty-four persons in the course of a few months in this settlement, besides a number more near it.”
Extract of a letter from General Cocke, to his honor the Governor of this State, dated Mulberry-Grove (State of Franklin) June 25.
“When I take a view of the local and political situation of this country, I conceive the interest of your State, so far as respects Indian affairs, almost inseparable with the safety and happiness of this country: I am certain every thing to serve your State or its interest, will be done by the people of Franklin. General Kennedy, I imagine, will be able to raise a thousand or fifteen hundred men as volunteers, and I think I can raise a like number; an army of two or three thousand men will be quite sufficient to march through any of their towns. I hope the Indians have not been so successful in your State as the Cherokees report; the accounts from that nation are, that the Creeks have killed twenty-five families without the loss of a man. I have ordered the different Colonels under my command, to hold their men in readiness to march when necessity shall require it.”
BOSTON, October 17.
The General Court of this Commonwealth meet this day, at the State-House in this town.
Perhaps a greater opportunity for the display of philanthropy and genuine patriotism was never presented, than that now offered to the Legislature of this Commonwealth.
The American Constitution comes under their cognizance at a most auspicious moment. Freely, impartially, and as men who feel for their country, may they take up this momentous subject! and may the God of their Fathers inspire them with those disinterested and honest principles which shall enable them to decide upon this great business, not merely as citizens of Massachusetts, but as members of the great American Family! Their constituents reposes the fullest confidence in their superior judgment, their public spirit, and an anxiety to discharge their duty as men that must give an account at the supreme tribunal of Heaven.
May they therefore keep their minds unprejudiced, and open to conviction! A predetermined spirit on this occasion will preclude the admission of knowledge, and deprive the people of the blessings of Independence, Peace, Liberty and Safety, those great objects for which rivers of blood have been shed, and millions of treasure expended—these blessings appear to be suspended on our acceptance of that stupendous effort of human wisdom, the American Constitution.

A writer in a Philadelphia paper, speaking of the new Constitution, says, “Free men of Pennsylvania, consider the characters and services of the men who made this Government. Behold the venerable FRANKLIN, in the 70th year of his age, cooped up in the cabin of a small vessel, and exposing himself to the dangers of a passage on the ocean, crowded with British cruisers, in a winter month, in order to solicit from the Court of France, that aid, which finally enabled America to close the war with so much success and glory—and then say, is it possible that this man would set his hand to a Constitution that would endanger your liberties?—From this aged servant of the public, turn your eyes to the illustrious American hero, whose name has ennobled human nature: I mean our beloved WASHINGTON.—Behold him, in the year 1775, taking leave of his happy family and peaceful retreat, and flying to the relief of a distant, and at that time an unknown part of the American continent.—See him uniting and cementing an army, composed of the citizens of thirteen states, into a band of
brothers.—Follow him into the field of battle, and behold him in the first danger, and the last out of it.—Follow him into his winter quarters, and see him sharing in the hunger, cold and fatigues of every soldier in his army.—Behold his fortitude in adversity, his moderation in victory, and his tenderness and respect upon all occasions for the civil power of his country. But above all, turn your eyes to that illustrious scene he exhibited at Annapolis in 1783, when he resigned his commission, and laid his sword at the feet of Congress, and afterwards resumed the toils of an American farmer on the banks of Potomack.—Survey, my countrymen, these illustrious exploits of patriotism and virtue,—and then say is it possible that the deliverer of our country would have recommended an unsafe form of government for that liberty; for which he had for eight long years contended with such unexampled firmness, constancy and magnanimity?”
On Sunday morning Mr. David Whitehead, of Boundbrook, New-Jersey, put a period to his existence, by hanging himself.
For the Daily Advertiser.
Aha! OLD RUFFY!
WHAT! at your old tricks again! Score up Thirty instead of One, my patriotic PURSE-GRIPPER! Why, man, if the Continental Treasury was a mountain of gold, thou would'st HEW IT to pieces, and fill thy pockets, and load thy canoes with it—a string of them which should reach even from the Over-Slaugh to Albania! I would advise thy friends to prevail on the Treasury Board to lodge their cash in the vaults of the Bank, lest the violent itching of thy fingers should promote thee, too rapidly, to an elevated situation, and thou should “die in station high exalted.”
With what excuse wilt thou now, with unblushing front, come forth and vindicate thyself? I will furnish thee with one. Tell the public, that it is true STATE POLICY to enrich this, at the expence of the others: that enriching individuals of the State, is enriching the State: and tell them, that you know of no person more wise, honest, patriotic, and deserving, or less ignorant, conceited, pedantic, narrow-fouled, and avaricious, than your worthy self.

For the Daily Advertiser.
THE late Law of the Corporation, with respect to the Signs, was very popular. All the Citizens rejoiced to see the Frying-Pan—the Golden Eagle, and Pelican—the large Lock—the Cross-Keys—and the Apothecaries Post removed. But this sentiment of joy was not so universally felt, when they saw that the Law paid no respect even to the Bible. The growlers against the Law charge the Corporation with profanity and irreligion; because they had even down with the Bible. The authority need not to have interfered in this odious and unpopular business; because the Bible must have soon fallen of itself, when we consider how long it has been used for the purposes of Gain.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings.
The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pee-pans, skillets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cafes, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for fluting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stove-grate elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboues of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill-roads and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron screws for falling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, flash-weights, forge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, wagon, coach, phaeton, chair and falkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w
