NEW-YORK, Sept. 23.
The following singular circumstance is copied from an Edinburgh paper of Sept. 1st.
Some few days ago, a very extraordinary acci- dent happened to a boy near Maidenhead; who having put some gooseberries and fishing hooks in the same pocket, unluckily swallowed one of the hooks, and found part of the line in his mouth; which, in endeavouring to pull up, fixed it in his stomach: he immediately ran to a surgeon, who could give him no relief till the following accident happily relieved him. A small hole being made in a leaden bullet, and the line put through it, the boy swallowed the bullet, the surgeon held the line, the weight of the bullet loosed the hook, and both were easily drawn up.
BALTIMORE, November 26.
PERPETUAL MOTION.
HAPPY Columbia, my native country that pos- sesses every soil and clime, and a genius that can command the stones of thy fields, and the trees of thy forests, to perform all the acts of tillage, and smooth water navigation!
My invention of the perpetual motion of the 6th of the present month, will supersede the use of draft cattle, in almost every instance, the saddle and turf excepted: It will plow, sow and mow—impel all carriages or impede them, at the will of the con- ductor—and will work on a variety of models ad infinitum—and will apply wherever rotatory motion can be used to advantage. I shall therefore pe- tition our honorable Congress to provide me with the exclusive right of working all machines by wedge, screw, lever or dead weight.

Yesterday the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of South Carolina, which has been sitting since the 26th day of October last, adjourned until the 12th of May next.
During the session, the following appeals were argued and decided upon—
Present—the Chief Justice of the United States, and the Judge of the district.

Yesterday an East Indian, named Rameceti, was committed to jail, on the oath of Mrs. Repon, set- ting forth, that on the night of the 3d instant, be- tween nine and ten o'clock, an out-house at the back of her kitchen in Union-street was discovered to be on fire; that after the fire was extinguished, about half a pound of powder was found scattered on the floor; and that from the previous threats of the said Rameceti, and his being seen running from the house immediately after the fire was discovered, she had good reason to suppose he had placed the fire there.
The sloop Friendship, Capt. Johnson, left the harbor yesterday, bound for the East-Indies; she is the first vessel that has been dispatched to that part of the world, by Carolina merchants, from this state. It must afford pleasing reflections to our citizens at large, to be informed of this circum- stance, and to learn that our merchants, within the course of a few years, notwithstanding the vexa- tious interruptions their vessels have had to combat with, are enabled to turn their attention to the dis- tant shores of Asia and the Indian isles, and to plan voyages to bring home the valuable products of those regions at a much lower rate than they have heretofore been furnished to us.
KNOXVILLE, Nov. 6.
Repulse of the Creek army, by the Chickasaws. Extract of a letter from Opiu Mingo, dated Chick- asaw nation, Sept. 29, 1795.
“About one thousand creeks came in order to take the Chickasaw nation. They encamped in the edge of the wood, back of Colbert's fort, to the west of the town. They brought white peo- ple with them, drums, and ammunition for a long siege; a great number of them were on horseback. In the morning they killed a woman just below Colbert's fort, and advanced against it in a half moon; their line extended half a mile. We met them, (that is the Long Town warriors) gave them battle, and beat them back. The warriors of Big Town attacked and put them to the rout. We pursued them about five miles, our horse on their flanks, and our foot on their rear, and took from them all their cloathing, except their flaps, the only cloathes they had on when they made the attack. The baggage consisted of their blankets and cloathing (except their flaps) their ammuni- tion, kettles and their provisions. The loss of the Chickasaws is six warriors and one woman killed; and we have found of the Creeks twenty six killed, and many must have been wounded. About two hundred Chickasaws were engaged in defeating this great army of Creeks.”
This action must have taken place between the 22d and 29th of September.
Great numbers of people continue to pass this place for Mero district. (the Cumberland country.) Travellers report the waggon road to have proved better than was expected, from its newness.
It is believed that peace will shortly take place between the Creeks and Chickasaws—the officers of government are using their utmost efforts to ef- fect it.
CHARGE,
Delivered by the Honourable Judge CAMPBELL, to the Grand Jury, at the beginning of the su- perior court of Washington district, at Septem- ber term, and to the Grand Jury of Hamilton district, at the commencement of the session in October last.
A FREQUENT recurrence to first principles is of great and lasting importance.
In a free government, obedience to the laws must be carried into the feelings, the manners, and the most familiar intercourse of men.
The object of all legitimate government, is, the assertion and protection of the natural rights of man.
The only criterion by which we can estimate the portion of natural rights, surrendered by man on entering into society, is the object of the surrender. Now, the object for which a man resigns any por- tion of his natural sovereignty over his own actions, is, that he may be protected from the abuse of the same dominion in other men.
In a state of nature the equality of rights is an impossible theory, which inequalities of strength and skill every moment violate. It is called into energy and effect only by society.
Civil distinction must exist in the social body, because it must possess organs destined for different functions.
Government is not a scientific subtlety, but a practical expedient for a general good.
The same necessity for the substitution of gene- ral maxims, exalts in politics as in morals. These precise and inflexible principles, which yield nei- ther to the seductions of passion, nor the suggesti- ons of interest, ought to be the guide of public as well as private morals.
The law is derived from duty, or from the ob- ligation we are under to act agreeable to its pre- cepts.
The law of nature and the necessary law of na- tions, being founded on the nature of things, and in particular on the nature of man, it fol- lows, that this law of nature and nations is immu- table.
The statute laws of any society or state are mu- table, agreeable to the will of its legislature. The general law of society is, that each should do for others whatever their necessities require, and they are capable of doing, without neglecting what they owe to themselves; a law which all men ought to observe in order to live agreeably to their nature, and in conformity to the views of our creator; a law that our own safety, our happiness, our most precious advantages ought to render sacred to ev- ery one of us.
Such is the duty of every citizen: But who ful- fils his duty?
The obligations that bind us as citizens, are ex- ternal and internal.
The obligation is internal, as it binds the con- science, and as it comprehends the rules of our du- ty; it is external, as it is considered relatively to other men.
It is to be lamented, that those internal obliga- tions have so little influence over the minds and ac- tions of many of the citizens.
The laws of society are of such importance to the safety of all states, that if individuals are suf- fered to trample them under their feet with impu- nity, no person can flatter himself with the hopes of self-preservation, nor of enjoying tranquility; wherever wife, just, and moderate conduct he may pursue.
Whenever men unite in society, they direct them- selves of certain natural rights, agreeable to the complexion and rules of the state. Each citizen subjects himself to the authority of the entire body. The authority of all over each member, essentially belongs to the body politic; but the exercise of that authority may be placed in different hands, according as the society shall ordain.
The end of civil society is procuring for the ci- tizens whatever their necessities require, the con- veniences and accommodations of life, and in ge- neral, whatever constitutes happiness, with the peaceful possession of property, a method of ob- taining justice with security, and a mutual defence against all violence from without.
In order to perform with propriety, the duties of the office now required of you, it is necessary that you should have a general knowledge of the laws from which those duties are derived.
The language of the laws under which you are to act, is restrictive. The criminal code of all nations consists of prohibitions, and whatever is not prohibited by the law, men every where con- ceive themselves entitled to do with impunity.
Thus, Gentlemen, have I delineated to you in as concise a manner as possible, the general max- ims which ought to be strictly observed by all.
Your duty, in this particular, will be to enquire where the laws have been violated, either by doing that which they forbid to be done, or omitting to do those things which they require to be put in ex- ecution. These laws, in general, are called decla- ratory and prohibitory laws.
Delinquents under the law, are to be arrested, by systematic process, originating from you.
The oath of your foreman, will point out to you, in cogent and forcible language, the line of conduct you are to observe in forwarding present- ments.
You ought to remember with cautious attention, that those who are charged before you, are pro- ceeded against, as to your body, on ex parte evi- dence. You ought undoubtedly to weigh well the force of the testimony brought against any one. A man suffers greatly in person and property, when wrongfully accused.
You see, gentlemen, from the foregoing reason- ings, what a complex machine government is.— Are you ripe for the full enjoyment of this blessing? Or would you be more wise, more prudent, to re- ly a while longer on the patronage of Congress? That great, that magnanimous body, is composed of the wisest, of the best men, that ever graced any age or any country. What chief magistrate ever possessed the virtues, the personal and mental accomplishments of our Washington, who now fills, & we hope long will fill the President's chair. The wisdom of Congress is conspicuous in her legislative acts.
Are you possessed of circulating wealth sufficient to support a separate and independent state, with a republican form of government, as the ordinance admits of, when you are sixty thousand in number? I confess I have my doubts. I had rather rely on the patronage of Congress a while longer; but if it is the will of a majority to be in the federal gov- ernment, as an independent state, I freely acqui- esce. He cannot be called a good citizen, who op- poses the will of a majority, when constitutionally deliberating.
The harmony of the present government, as to its internal concerns, is very great. Will it be so on a change? Are we not in a prosperous func- tion? What is the criterion to judge whether a country is in a flourishing state or not?
When the constitution is observed, when the laws are faithfully executed, when commerce and agri- culture flourish, the country is undoubtedly in a prosperous situation.
Is not this the case with our country? Yes, in a most supereminent degree. Compare the situation of the United States to what it was at the end of the war, and then gratitude will force itself on the minds of every rational creature. Gratitude for those patriots who have procured for us such hap- piness.
Such, then, being the flourishing situation of our country, why such discontent throughout the union. Oh, my fellow citizens, I am astounded at the instability of your minds! you censure the ex- ecutive council of America for ratifying the treaty lately made with Great Britain. Are the blessings of peace of so little consequence with you? What is the situation of your finances? Is your treasury full of specie? Have you ships at sea ready for any emergency? But were you in possession of all these things, you ought not to court war. Peace is the blessing of any people, and peace is the very spirit, the essence of a republican government.
From the different publications I have seen in the newspapers, with respect to the treaty lately enter- ed into between the United States and Great Bri- tain, I conceive the present crisis among the most important since the revolution.
Remember, Gentlemen, perfection is not to be expected in human councils. If then, you see any errors in the administration of government, apply for a reform in a constitutional manner.
Your government is founded on a solid basis.— Your constitution and laws are promulgated. No man can violate them, without rendering himself ob- noxious to their penalties.
To meet in disorderly companies—to burn ef- figies—and to commit wanton follies, are the works of little minds and of children. I have always thought the fomenters of such scenes with to pull down and degrade other men, that they may build for themselves on their ruins.
How many great and good men have suffered by such unmanly conduct? Cicero, Bolingbroke, Marlborough, Columbus, and our own New Fay- ette, became the victims of such intrigues.
Let me now speak more particularly of our own country; I mean the Territory south of Ohio.
Was ever any state or nation in a more flourish- ing situation? The necessities of life of all kinds, abound here. The many thousands who are emi- grating from the other states to this territory, find plenty at a very moderate price. We now enjoy peace from our numerous savage enemies. Imitate the virtues and magnanimity of your governor.— He waded through scenes of difficulties and oppo- sition, until he arrived safe in port. The innum- erabilities of the people here for protection, and at times the disorderly conduct of some of them, affected him, on one hand, like a devouring Scylla. On the other hand, the opposition of Congress to his plans of offensive operations against the predatory Indians, involved him in a series of difficulties: but by observing the constitution, and his official or- ders, which orders sometimes to you appeared hard, he has brought things to a happy issue.
We now enjoy peace, affluence and every bless- ing that a people can covet; yet some persons among us are not happy.
Is it possible, that all governments are theocratic- al; a mere name?
When we were involved in war, we complained of the misfortunes of war. We now enjoy peace, and some court war.
Thus have I brought to your view some of the maxims of the most approved writers on govern- ment, interpersed with many of my own observa- tions, since I have had the honor to preside as one of the judges of the superior court in this territo- ry.
As the nature and essence of government is af- fected by new ideas some people affix to words, you will permit me to contradict the common place lay- ing of the demagogue democrats, that magistrates are servants of the people. The inspired writer, St. Paul, enforces obedience to the laws. Let every one of you, says he, pay a dutiful subjection to civil government; for magistracy is a divine ap- pointment. They who refuse subjection to the reg- ulations of civil society, render themselves obnox- ious to punishment: For civil magistracy is armed with terror, not against virtue, but against vice.— It is therefore the incumbent duty of citizens to pay a subjection to the laws of civil society, not merely from a dread of punishment, but from a principle of conscience.
In my opinion, there is no more Godlike cha- racter than a chief magistrate, sitting in the chair of state, executing the laws impartially, amidst a free and grateful people.
I shall now conclude, after impressing on your minds, with an anxious solicitude for your happi- ness, that order, virtue, and harmony, in a social state, are the duty and dignity of man, and, in all events, his wisest and safest course.
Reply and presentment of the Grand Jury of Wash- ington district. </

of the late treaty proposed to be made with Great Britain. Yet, notwithstanding those discontents, we express our confidence in the executive department of the general government, in whom the power of making treaties is constitutionally vested. All attempts, therefore, to inflame or agitate the minds of the people against the officers of government, and particularly our beloved President, merit our highest disapprobation.
We have hitherto lived happy under the laws of the United States of America. We have sworn to support the constitution thereof, and we pronounce the men whom we have entrusted with the administration of the laws, to be under our protection and guardianship.
We likewise announce our utmost abhorrence and detestation against the writer of a threatening anonymous letter, dated March 13th, 1795, and directed to the honorable Judge Campbell. We exhort and direct the citizens of this Territory not to be guilty of any offence of the like nature. We consider all attempts of redress for any injuries, especially supposed injuries, short of legal or constitutional measures, is beneath the character that ought to dignify a citizen of the United States.
These expressions of our minds, and the charge delivered by Judge Campbell, we desire may be inserted in the Knoxville Gazette.
(Signed) THOMAS HENDERSON, Foreman.
Reply from the Grand Jury for the district of Hamilton, at October term, 1795, to the charge delivered to them by the Hon. Judge Campbell.
WITH pleasure have we attended to the charge delivered by you, at the commencement of the present session.
The true principle of government ought to be well understood by every citizen, and deeply impressed on every mind. That all freemen in a republican government, have a right to remonstrate in a constitutional manner, against grievances.
We highly reprobate all riots, burning of effigies, or any other unlawful step taken to throw the minds of the people into a ferment. We likewise disapprove of invectives being thrown out against officers of government in high station, especially the illustrious Washington. We also feel the highest sensations of gratitude for those citizens, who in a patriotic and constitutional manner opposed those parts of the late treaty with Great Britain, which to us appear inimical to the rights and liberties of the free and independent states of America.
We declare, that though we have found ourselves happy under the patronage of Congress, in our temporary government, nevertheless, we prefer a full voice in the federal councils of the United States.
We likewise pronounce the anonymous letter directed to the honorable Judge Campbell, and through him to the other Judges, to be indignant to our laws, the author to be an enemy to our government, and we exhort all good citizens to feel themselves freemen, and know it to be their duty, not only to discountenance but endeavour to suppress all such enormities.
It is the request of the jury that this reply be inserted in the Knoxville Gazette.
Unanimously agreed to, SAMUEL NEWELL, Foreman.
RICHMOND, November 21.
LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA. A motion was made that the house do come to the following resolution:
Resolved , That the motives which influenced the President of the United States to ratify the treaty lately negotiated with Great Britain meet the entire approbation of this house and that the President of the United States for his great abilities, wisdom and integrity merits and possesses the unlimited confidence of his country.
And said resolution being again read, and a motion made to amend the same by striking out from the word resolved to the end and inserting in lieu thereof the following words:
That the House do entertain the highest sense of the integrity and patriotism of the President of the United States and that while they approve the vote of the Senators of this state in the Congress of the United States relative to the treaty with Great Britain they in no wise mean to censure the motives which influenced him in his conduct thereupon.

OCCURRENCE.
One day last week an honest Fellow-Citizen, enquiring for work, was directed to the Office of the Hollow-Ware Company—He accordingly applied to the Chief Forger for the office of Bellows-Blower.
Whether any articles had recently been discovered to be cracked thro' carelessness of the workmen, is not yet known; It is however certain, that the Chief Forger was in a most violent rage, and, urged thereby, kicked his Fellow-Citizen down stairs—Equality and Democracy to the contrary notwithstanding.

Approaching important Crisis at Paris.
PARIS, September 26.
The decrees for re-electing two thirds of the Convention, were yesterday proclaimed in the streets of Paris, as being adopted by the majority of the people. The utmost pomp and ceremony attended the event: but many of the Primary Assemblies, expressed their indignation on the occasion, and some of them considered the proclamation as a calumny upon the people, as contrary to truth, and consequently, as not binding on any one.
In fact, it is a most incredible influence of presumption, to impose the will of 160,000 (the number of voters who have accepted the decrees) persons, as a law of 25,000,000 of men. The Partisans of the Convention, thus, do not exceed 160,000, and among these must be reckoned the terrorists who have been lately set at liberty.
GONESSE, (10 miles from Paris.) September 22.
In several communes of the department of the Seine and Oise, a placard has been just pasted up,
showing to what danger liberty has been exposed for some days past. It is positively stated, that certain vindictive, and ambitious men, had proposed to transfer the seat of the Convention, to some other place; to declare Paris in a state of rebellion and to prevent it from receiving provisions; and that the most faithful representatives of the people, such as Boissy d'Anglas, Henrie Lariviere, Fernand, Lanjuinais, Lefage, Rabaud, Pommier, Pelet, Dussault, &c. were to be proscribed, and the hideous Empire of Terror re-established.
This is a sufficient explanation of the measures pursued in our neighbourhood; this is the reason Lyons has been surrounded with troops, and Nantes and Rouen delivered up to the Terrorists; that picquets of cavalry have been stationed for some days on the roads leading to Paris, that the Postmasters received orders not to let any body have horses; that so many troops have been collected in the environs of Paris, and that the terrorists and Brigands have been let at liberty."
According to this paper it appears, that they intend, in case it should be found necessary, to employ the troops against the inhabitants of Paris; several men in power, said, that with ten squadrons they would reduce the sections to obedience, and that too many heads should be taken off, that those who remained should not dare to make any further resistance.
LONDON, September 30.
Just as this paper was putting to press, we received, by express, the Paris Journals of the 26th and 27th inst.; the intelligence they contain, is extremely important, but the lateness of the hour precludes the possibility of giving any thing more than a mere outline in this day's paper.
The accounts brought by the vessel arrived from Calais, mention, that Paris is in a state of extreme confusion and disorder. In the tumults which appear to have taken place, several lives are stated to have been lost; and the Convention, seeing the determined resolution of the sections to oppose the attempts for perpetuating their power, are preparing to quit the metropolis.
October 3.
Yesterday, Mr. Marsh, was sent to open a preliminary conference with M. M. Moneron, and Sternvert, the Commissioners sent to this Country by the National Convention.
It may be relied upon, that the Regency of Hanover, have, by this time, concluded a PEACE with France; in consequence of which the British troops upon the Continent, will probably return home.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Hammond, late his Majesty's minister, to the States of America, arrived in town from Philadelphia. He has brought over with him the ratification of the treaty, with the exception of one article of it, which remains open for future discussion.
CIVIL WAR IN PARIS.
The contents of the papers which we have received, warrant us in saying, that a Civil War is actually broke out in Paris!
The section of Paris, has declared itself in a state of insurrection against the Convention.
The Sovereign section (as it is titled in a Constitutional Journal of Beppelier) has proclaimed with great solemnity—that it condemns its Civil Committee, for having obeyed the decree which ordered the Proclamation of the acceptance of the Constitution, and of the Decrees of the 5th and 13th Fructidor, by the French people. The assembly, and procession were numerous; and after this proclamation against the Convention, the air resounded with the cry of "A bas les Deux Tiers!"—Down with the Two Thirds!
In the evening sitting of the 3rd Vendemaire (Sept. 25) Delaunay (d'Angers) Reporter to the Committee of General Welfare, informed the Convention, that several soldiers had been insulted by individuals, and the armed force attacked; three pistols had been discharged in the garden of equality, where Berthe, a sergeant of the grenadiers of the Convention, was slightly wounded. The cry of "To arms!" was heard in different parts of the metropolis. The exclamation of "Down with the Two Thirds!" was also general.
In several of the groups collected in different places, people observed, that the Convention ought to be driven from Paris, otherwise there would be a famine; and that the presence of the Comte d'Artois and the Prince de Lambesc, was necessary for the restoration of order.
Lefage (d'Eure et Loire) read an address to the Parisians, the purport of which was, to render the citizens of Paris, responsible for the safety of the Convention; to declare that, if any attempts were made on the persons of the Deputies, the Legislative Body would meet at Chalons-sur-Marne; and to order the Republican troops to prepare themselves for defending the Representatives of the People.
The address was adopted, and was ordered to be pasted up immediately, in form of a proclamation, in every part of the city, and to be forwarded to the departments, and to the armies.
In the sitting of the 4th Vendemaire (Sept. 26) Larévelliers-Lepaux, in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, informed the Convention, that the agents of the Sections had pulled down all the proclamations which had been pasted up by order of the Convention during the night. It was therefore decreed, that the Administrators of the department of the Seine, should immediately publish, in Paris, the proclamation and the declaration adopted by the Convention, on the preceding night.
Talien proposed the establishment of an extraordinary commission of sixteen members of the Convention, to superintend the police of Paris. This proposition gave rise to a long debate, and was at length referred to the Committee.
The President of the section of the Temple, having put in requisition the commander of the armed force of that district, the Convention annulled the order he had issued, and decreed, that all persons who should call out the armed force without an order from the Representatives of the People, should be deemed traitors to their country, and prosecuted as such.
It was also decreed, on the motion of Latourneur (de la Manche) that the Administrative Com-
mittees of Paris, should take care that all the young men of the first requisition, should immediately join their respective corps; and that every person of that description, who should be found in any group or assembly of the people, without any further proof, be deemed a rebel, and treated as such.
October 3.
Yesterday an officer who landed at Falmouth, on Wednesday reached town, with dispatches from Sir John Warren. By these it appears, that Sir John Warren, with a squadron of frigates, gun boats, &c. having the Comte d'Artois on board, had failed on the 23rd ult. for the Ile of Noirmoutier, and that on the Friday following, a heavy cannonade was heard from that quarter.
Yesterday forenoon an express was received by a respectable house in the city, stating that the Barriers of Paris, were shut, and that an embargo had been laid upon all vessels at Calais. These violent measures are supposed to proceed from some fresh commotions at Paris. It seems more than probable that the sections will oblige the Convention either to fly, or to revoke the unjust and tyrannical decrees for the re-election of the two thirds.
Admiral Hotham, we are sorry to learn, comes home chiefly on the score of bad health. The country thus loses the services of one of its best and ablest officers.
From the London Gazette.
Admiralty Office, Oct. 3. Copy of a letter from Capt. H. Nelson, to Admiral Hotham, dated Agamemnon, Wado Bay, Aug. 27, 1795.
Sir,
Having received information from Gen. de Vins, that a convoy of provisions and ammunition, was arrived at Alassio, a place in the possession of the Frenchmen, I yesterday proceeded, with the ships named in the margin, to that place, where, within an hour, we took the vessels named in the inclosed list; there was but a very feeble opposition from some of the enemies cavalry, who fired on our boats when boarding the vessels near the shore, but I have the pleasure to say, no man was killed or wounded. The enemy had 2000 horse and foot soldiers in the town, which prevented my burning and destroying their magazines of provisions and ammunition.
I sent Capt. Fremantle, of the Incoustant, with the Tantar, to Languedoc, a town on the west side of the bay of Alassio, where he executed my orders in a most officer like manner; and I am indebted to every captain and officer in the squadron, for their activity, but most particularly to Lieut. George Andrews, 1st Lieut. of the Agamemnon, who by his spirited and officer like conduct, saved the French corvette from going on shore. I have the honor to be, Sir, with the highest respect, your most obedient servant,
HORATIO NELSON.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 5.
By letters received from Portsmouth, we learn, that the volunteers who engaged themselves with the French, to serve on board the Commerce de Marseille, have joined their ship in good health and are about to proceed to the West-Indies. The force of warlike stores, troops, &c. to the amount of 20,000, are to be carried out for which purpose, ten sail of the line, one fifth rate, one 98 gun ship, and three or four 74's, together with a fleet of armed East Indiamen, are engaged. Adm. Pole, in the Colossus, and Adm. Christian, in the Prince George, are included in the expedition.
The Commerce de Marseille is stated in the different prints to carry 120 guns, but the truth is that she mounts 136 guns. Naval gentlemen, who have looked narrowly into her merits, declare, that in the main articles of speed, defense, and internal accommodation, this ship by far surpasses all that Europe ever had to boast of.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO,
If a scribbler who calls himself "A true Republican," in your paper of Friday, had ever read the History of Ancient Rome he would have seen that the greatest Republic on earth possessed Slaves, and a Nobility, whose care to preserve the purity of Patrician blood was only equalled by their exertions either in the field, or in the Senate, to maintain that individual dignity and honour, which they ever considered as inseparable from that of their nation. Contrast such conduct as that of the noble Brutus, of Regulus, and of Decius Mus, with that of Plebeian Patriots, and then say if Nobility, by descent, is not more conducive to virtue and to patriotism than any principle which can be instilled into the mind of a creature of yesterday—one who is not sure of ever having had a grandfather.
Will any one pretend that a fresh-imported Pedlar, or grovelling Mechanic, can fill the principal Offices of State with equal dignity, when compared with a Harrison, a Carter, a Randolph, or a Lee, or with an individual of either of the best Patrician families of Virginia, surely no one in his senses would answer in the affirmative. The only question that can now exist is whether it be better that the most honorable blood of Virginia shall become polluted, and the dignity of the ancient dominion, which is inseparably connected therewith, be thereby dissolved, "and like the baseless fabric of a vision leave not a wreck behind;" or that law which protects the present Patrician estates and honours from falling a prey to creatures that nobody knows, merely to satisfy a paltry demand for a little Stay-Tape and Buckram, or some other foolish foreign or eastern article, which the family had done better without.
Shall we see a parcel of grovelling Yankee Jonathan with their attachment to Banks, Funding systems, Commerce, and mechanics purchase the estates and attempt to fill the places of those great and noble spirits, who like the ancient Romans, despise every other profession except the gown and the sword? forbid it virtue, forbid it honor, forbid it my country.
