aicendant in the fyaem of American affairs
The whole world may politically as we'll as
geographically, be divided into four parts, each
having a diiant Get of intereas. Unhappily
for the other three Europe by her arms and by
he. negotiations, BY force and by fraud, has in
different degrees, extended her dominion over
them all. Africa, AHA and America have
facceflively felt her dominion. The fuperiority
ke has long maintained, has tempted her to
plume herfelf as the mialels of the world, and
70 coniider the ref of mankind as created for
her benefit. Men admired as profound philo.
fophers, have, in dired terms, attributed to her
inhabitants a phyiical fuperiority and have
gravely a1erted that all animals, and with
them the human fpecies, degenerates IN America
that even dogs eeale to bark, after having
breaShed while in our Atmosphere.
Facts have too long Imported ,heie arrogant
pretenfons of the Europeans 1t belongs TO US
to vndieate the honor of the human race, and
to teach that affirming brother, moderation. =
