ls.has been ufual to apply the mag.
Of paiental relationship to the connection
between colony ana the country from
Whence it proceeded in the preient In
aance ws may cont,nue the resemblance
ta:sher: America has been iepara.ed from
England, the ttrugsle has been ierere, and
tic shross violent but in this it has imi-
tated the courte OF nature in iimilar cafes
in animal life. Ihe!e painful CONDITIONS

And though We are no advocates for the
fyfem which incu.cates 'hc exiaence Of
the fame duties between the colony and
the mother fate, as between parent and
child (which is but a poetic argument at
betty yet We hope tat the ie!4:ionship
will not be forgotten, tus be the means OF
exciting each ration to acts OF trisndthip
and mutual attention, in like manner as
thofe which fabtit between the shovencn-
toned connexions, when each acts ieps-
ratclv and independently in the world,
and when commands ard obedience are no
more thought Of; and that America and
England, will yet rival, in this irfsnce,
the tender ami,y for which Tyre and
Carthage were famous.
But laying aide all metaphor ard allu-
fion, end conf,dering the point in the Hoa
ferrous light, we have fill the JULIET
grounds for hope Of a permanent friend
lhip between the two tsates, If not as &C.
tive allies in war, a, LEAH in every other
point OF view. The fame laws, the fame
manners, the fame language, mutt always
give preference of intercourse and con-
nexion, which no other circumstances can
equal in any other countries add to this,
the grea, advantage Of dealing that mutt
be between a monicd, a mercantile and
manufacturing people, and nation which
produces in abundance all the articles the
other wants, as we'll grain as raw materi-
ais Of every iort. Where can Americans
get better articles or on longer credit than
In England? Where can England be bet
better dpplied with objects of ccniumpti-
on and commerce than in America? In
tereRs then unites them, and We think ever
will.
An American coming to England, if he
fuppofes our King an hereditary PRECEDENT,
and puts the word Lord for Senator, vii!
find every thing nearly the fam: as in his
own country, even as to the mode of 60
vernment and an Engliihman sciag to
America, and fuppodns the PRECEDENT
trennial King, will fee little difference
between the people he LEFT and his new
friends. Is not this then, an additional
tr;umphto the Engl,lh contribution, that
i, is tina. which the happief nation on
earth has adopted 70 entirely, that it is We
ry nearly only in mere names any differ
ence fubdas.
All thoie eau1es above mentioned have
operated to keep up fricnd(hip between US,
even at the mott uriayorable criis, when
iealouGes were Arongef, and temptations
greate2, a, one fide at leaf, for rupture;
we have, therefore, every rcalon to hope
for its continuance, when every day mutt
weaken the few jealoulies that remain, and
thew the advantage OF the connexion IT'LL
fronger. In fact, if America has occai'-
on to be apprehenGve of any European ma
ton, England is the laG il thould think of;
England has already tried the contci!, and Z.
has much 10 .ofs, ard nothing TO gain IN
