No jlc5bin writer has ever pre,enle 10 ar
Ggn fngle particu ar wherein he Britiih treaty
was injurious % this country, ana even Ii
prince Of jacobins, Samuel Adams, ccul on y
fay - his vague and cunning manner, that il
was " pregnant sO1b evH" One would llDDole
he poor old mn was pre9nan. himfef, AM
| had frange feel ngs but the matter, whatev
it was, was neve- born.-The following con
| alterations were never undertoOd nor fought
after one atom m0re than truth itlelf would
have been by the Jacobns.
1. That the treaty Of peace made in I787
remained n many OF its parts unexecuted, and
principal obj-a If the treaty Of 1906 was to
| provide for the amicabie execution of 1t.
2. That Geat-Britain AMI America are the
mot natural allies IN the world, az We can bet
guarantee her American poGelIions. and he
can bef guarantee our trade and protect our
| coats; while betb together would be a balance
for the whole world.
3. That if we had quarrelled with England,
We could not have contended with her one mo-
ment at Tea, and ihould have had land war
befdes, " thout the podi Nity Of having Jingle
man or dollar from France.
4, That by the treaty the fpolatons of our
commerce, which took place in conlequence Of
acobinical PreciPitancy ana folly in favor Of
France, are provided for and paid as fat as the
DEGREES Of condemnation are reverted.
That the w:tern potts are delivered up,
and conlequently we have them as checks upon
the Indians in addition to the good will Of the
Enyldh, who would otherwile inceufe them
againt Us.
s. The true St. Cror IS likely to Be fettIe1,
by which it is expected that We lhlll gain few
eral millions of acres Of aad, which otherwir.
would always have been conteGed, and politely
have occaGoned war.
7. That our commerce, in the room of being
viewed with Jealous and unfienIIy eye, is
now protested BY The B-',ih aag, and placed
on more advantageou principles than hat
Of any other milton, perhaps, in the world.
g. That we fpeak the fame language and
have the fame habits with our mothe- country,
and q, our independence being f4fe, which it
is ridiculous to doubt, are as we'll qualified to
be friends as can be deired.
Such are lome Of the advantages ariGng from
this treaty aganR which thcfe Believing patri
OTIS have never offered Jingle reaion, or
hadow Of realon. This was the treaty which
the Bottom town meeting deprecated with by
drophobi4l agitation. This is the g damned
thing" Of jacobinic elocuton.-I deGre to know
