An ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator.
(Continued from No. 816.)
THE PRINCIPLES OF SENTIMENTAL POLITICAL UNION.
NOT only the necessaries and conveniences of life, but the principal enjoyments of human nature, depend on society. The great Creator has therefore given us strong social passions, and the best minds have the most of this moral magnetism. The little girl that weeps for her doll, will be an excellent wife and mother. A man of sensibility would, in a wilderness, place his affections on the most beautiful trees. A well-ordered political society is a theatre for the noblest exertions of human genius, the best feelings of the human heart. To be the guardian angels of a nation; to chain the monsters that ravage it; to repel daring foes; to diffuse the heavenly light of virtue and knowledge; continually to open some rich source for the ease and comfort of mankind—must, indeed, be a glorious, delightful employment. To form connections with persons of enlightened and exalted minds; mutually to give and receive the glad applause, and respectful affection; to have the grateful esteem of the good and just; nay, to despise the rage and falsehood of the wicked; to pity and forgive well-meaning enemies—all this is high enjoyment. While man is wrapt up in himself, he is a mean little being; but when he steps out from his prison, he becomes great, and rises to an amazing glory. The generous patriot lives but for his country, and will gladly die for it; his country's love of him is his very soul, entwined with every fibre of his heart; the dear thought of it is his last in this world, and remains with him through an happy eternity.
Inferior men will be also much improved by a social Union. There is a native dignity in the generous affections, that strikes even the selfish, and often makes them forget themselves. Society calls many of these into play. The common object is a centre, that attracts numbers of dissimilar dispositions, and this brings them near each other—it becomes a source of reciprocal goodwill, because they expect to attain it by joint endeavors; in this pursuit they frequently must exchange mutual good offices, and upon trying occasions sacrifice ease, humour, interest; leading characters will, by their talents and public virtue, animate and attach the less sanguine; in action and conversation will arise the sympathetic passions of hopes and fears, grief and joy, admiration of worthy Members, dislike of the bad, with all the congenial sentiments on the common cause. Self love itself, if not too sordid, is gratified in a social Union—Besides a share in the common object, a new and often superior interest is acquired: the pleasure of acting as a Member; the honor, dignity, importance, and whatever advantage that attends it; a participation of the merit and glory of eminent fellow citizens, and of the whole society, all which in a great measure reflect on every member. If therefore the common object of attachment is interesting, and a sufficient majority has these moral principles, which are the stamina of all rational government; the political Union has a natural tendency to grow stronger—because the selfish passions will necessarily be weakened, or take a better direction; and all the sentiments of integrity, honor, private attachment, and public spirit, will encrease; by the exercise of social duties, by civil habits, and the gradual incorporation of the body politic, which will be finally moulded into an excellent form, and animated by the same generous spirit. Let us then consider the principal bonds of a sentimental political Union, and apply the theory to the United States.
National felicity, in all its branches, depends upon a strong and easy political union. True liberty is, in fact, nothing but a general, and not very unequal, participation in the genuine blessings of society; and consequently forms a closer connection, in point of most real interests, between the several parts of a nation. It is of importance to make them sensible of this reciprocal dependence, which, too often, is either forgot, or not sufficiently understood; and, especially, to point out circumstances that are affecting, and raise the feelings of gratitude, esteem, pity, &c. Extreme want of public spirit, and political crimes, proceed often from ignorance and prejudice; how else can we account for the diabolical outrages committed by numerous mobs; we cannot suppose that 100,000 people can be wicked enough to burn their capital; or that a majority of the insurgents in one of the States intended a civil war. It is dangerous to urge, with indiscreet zeal, those national objects which are of a pecuniary nature, because the public attention will be too keenly fixed upon them, and thus increase the selfish passions. I could wish one half of the compositions on trade, finance, &c. burnt; they turn the brains of people
attached to interest, as novels have ruined many a fine girl. Property is very valuable; but God forbid it should be regarded as a principal national object. When government, learning, manners, all tend to create such a principle, national virtue is in great danger; and with it that noble integrity, and high sense of honor, which is the basis of national independence, glory, and happiness. I never could with pleasure drink liberty and property; I taste something like verdigris in the bowl—such a toast might somewhat become a little country that cannot subsist without a scrupulous attention to interest; but is unworthy of a nation like Great-Britain. Let America rather chuse liberty and honor, federal liberty, or federal virtue . In Monarchies, the expression high and low is a mark of distinction; I will not say it will suit better in this country than rich and poor ; but this certainly is not very eligible— better and worse would be preferable, as it includes a disparity in merit. When a people is considerably virtuous, a national interest, that engages the moral affections of the heart, has a very great influence.
The very principle of such Union, is naturally solid and powerful, capable of doing and suffering a great deal; superior in some minds to all the allurements of fortune, all the miseries of life, and horrors of death—it also raises immediately a strong reciprocal esteem and affection; because the zealous supporters of a noble cause must be the friends of honor and virtue. The principal object of political Union is to preserve the existence and independency of a nation, and to guard it from the calamities of war—This alone involves all that is dear to men, life, liberty, property, the safety and happiness of the dearest connections; it also prevents fellow citizens to each other as defenders and benefactors; and calls forth the noble sentiments of honor, valor, fidelity. In actual war this is generally an effectual bond of Union. Even when a nation is not threatened with an invasion, or any extraordinary calamity, the army becomes a common object of attachment; its gallant exploits raise general congratulations, and all the agreeable sensations of national pride; their sufferings are viewed with sympathetic tenderness—he must be a dastardly wretch, that has no feeling for them, who often would be glad of the crumbs that fall from his table; who would purchase with blood the water his cattle refuse; who protect him with wounds and loss of limbs.

New-York, Oct. 8.
On Friday last, Congress appointed his Excellency ARTHUR St. CLAIR, Esq. now President of Congress, to be Governor of the Western Territory of the United States, with a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, and to exercise the Office of Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and receive the pay and emoluments of the same, amounting to about eight hundred dollars per annum.
They have also appointed Winthrop Seargeant, Esq. to be Secretary to the Governor, with a salary of seven hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The Royal Danish American Gazette, of the 22d ult. printed at St. Croix, gives an account of a dreadful hurricane which happened at Dominica and Martinique, on the 23d of August. A number of vessels at the port of Rosseau, the buildings, trees, canes, plantains, and other produce, particularly on the beach, have suffered exceedingly.—Fourteen sail of vessels at Martinique was drove on shore, and immense damage done by land; such as houses blown down, and others untiled, the fences, sheds, &c. all blown to pieces.
“How are the mighty fallen!”—poor Shays is at this instant cracking chestnuts in the vicinity of Lake Champlain. The situation of Shattuck is not much better, only it is possible he may be cracking walnuts.—This man you must know was considered by the insurgents as a character quite as important as Shays himself. The insurgents in general have returned to their homes, and as far as we can learn, behave with decency and good order. As to those that are still lurking in the borders of Canada, they are, literally,
“So worn, so wasted, so despis'd a crew As e'en Guy Carleton might with pity view.”
Extract of a letter from Mr. Andrew Elliott, dated on the West side of Conawango, August 29, 1787, to his friend in Baltimore.
“About the 16th of June, we began to extend the line, but soon met with unexpected difficulties; the amazing high and steep ridges at the heads of the Tyoga, Allegany, and Cheeneasco rivers soon overcame the strength of our pack-horses, and, in a few weeks, more than one half were either killed, or rendered useless; but, very fortunately, when our horses became unequal to the task of conveying our stores and baggage, we found ourselves on a small branch
of the Allegany river. We then found it necessary to make use of the water to enable us to go on with business, and in six days we made as many canoes, two of which were between 40 and 50 feet in length, the others about 35 feet.
“These canoes, with our stores and uncommon collection of valuable instruments, we hauled 12 miles down a shallow stream, to the main Allegany river, where our difficulties appeared to be at an end—but how deceiving are appearances! We now found ourselves stopped by the Indians, and were compelled to hold a treaty with them, before they would let us proceed—the following are the speeches which were delivered.”
“The Indians, with the aid of an interpreter, began their address—
“Brothers!
“We have now met, agreeably to the appointment of yesterday, and are very thankful to the great Spirit, that our meeting is in health.—We perceive you are passing through our country with a number of men—we have likewise seen a line that is carrying on by some of your party. Your business, or object, we are entirely unacquainted with. We know of no treaty, or sale, whereby the lands in this part of the country became yours. Our young men are astonished, and alarmed at your proceedings. The whole of your business as yet is involved in mystery and darkness to us, and for your own safety, and a continuance of that peace which we desire may be perpetual, we now advertise you of the danger from our young men, and the consequent propriety of discontinuing the line. After this warning, if you still persist in carrying on the business, remember, we now clear ourselves of all blame, that may result from the warmth of our young men and warriors.”
“To this speech Mr. Elliott returned the following answer:
“Brothers!
“We most heartily join with you in returning thanks to that great Spirit, which has enabled us to meet this day in health, agreeably to the appointment of yesterday.
“We now inform you that we are the Commissioners, and people, employed for the purpose of running a boundary line between your lands, and the lands of your brothers of Pennsylvania.
“The people of Pennsylvania have ever been desirous of keeping the chain of friendship bright with their Indian brethren. They have never taken one inch of ground from them, or their forefathers, by conquest; but have generously paid the full value of all they now possess.
“The State of Pennsylvania is never to extend over the line we are now running. All the lands to the North of it, which you have not sold to the State of New-York, belong to you; and the land to the South of it, from the River Delaware to the Lake Erie, to your brothers of Pennsylvania. All the lands which you remained possessed of, at the close of the late war, lying South of the line we are now carrying on to Lake Erie, your Chiefs sold to the people of Pennsylvania, at the treaties held at Fort Stanwix, and McIntosh, in the year 1784; and received the payment in full, at Tyoga, in the fall of the year 1785. And now, to prevent any future differences about territory, we are setting up a marked stone, at the end of every mile in the line.
“Brothers,
“We came among you to do this business without fear; because it is right. You now talk of danger; but remember, we are doing the business of a whole State, and not the business of a few people; and the least injury done to one of our men, will be considered as done to all the inhabitants of Pennsylvania; and we give you warning, that if any accident should happen to one of our party, in consequence of the imprudence of any of your young men, it will be considered as done by you all; and call forth the resentment of the whole State, the consequences of which will certainly be much more dreadful than you have any idea of.”
“After this speech was delivered, a Chief from one of the lower towns, spoke to the following effect:
“Brothers,
“I join in thanking the great Spirit for our meeting this day in health.
“Brothers,
“I was sent for by my brothers at this town to treat about some business. I came blind, but now my eyes are opened. I know what you are about, and am satisfied. The thing appears right, the lands are sold, and belong to you. You need not fear danger, I will go before you down the river, and inform my brothers what you are about. They will be satisfied, and I am willing to answer for your safety.”
“The whole council approved the sentiments of this Chief, and the treaty ended in a request for a sufficiency of rum, to make the old people feel themselves, and the young one rejoice. We granted their request, and have ever since been treated by them with the greatest respect and tenderness. One of their towns is not more than one quarter of a mile from our present station.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Philadelphia of a late date.
“I called on the King's mathematical instrument maker again, yesterday, but he being much engaged, could only tell me, that Doctor Lorimer (a learned astronomer and mathematician) had seen Churchman's papers, and was promised by Doctor Shepard (an active member of the board of longitude) a light of the globe: From what he could learn from Doctor Lorimer's opinion, it seemed to be that Churchman's theory is ingenious, but he has not taken all the pains he should have done, in ascertaining or calculating on known facts to confirm or illustrate it, as persons disinterested will not be so likely to undertake the labor necessary, and which was incumbent on him.”
Extract of a letter from Dublin, Aug. 2.
“We are informed that the course of the river Dodder will be turned, so as to gain several hundred acres from the sea, at a moderate expence, agreeable to a plan which has been approved of, and will shortly be proceeded upon; by which means the navigation of our harbor will be rendered more secure, eventually deepening the bed of the Liffey, by a proper embankment.”
IN order to form general regulations, for conducting the City Watch, it is proposed, that two of the Managers, from each Ward, meet To-morrow, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at No. 24, Beekman's-street.
