To prefervc theie papers, therefore, which
have 70 mueh intrinhc merit, and fuch 1alting
utility, in drels iuitable TO their character, Is
the inducencnt to their republication,
PACiFiCUS is from the pen Of the fame en-
Ightencd itatefman who was rhe chief author Of
thu Feteralil. Ihelc tfays were written in de-
fence of the frit leading Rep which our Govern
nlent took to prefeivc that Neutrality which it
continued 60 maintain during the late TrMfst-
lantic confiicf; eonfld which has anuihiiascd
the minor powers Of Europe, aud ihlken lie
civilized world.
Now that The form has pafIed over, and the
angry and tunuItous Faiiions which at that time
agi,atcd our country, have in ione meaiurc iub
feed, thefe papers will be read with profit ard
pleafurc by the intelligent mau c. every party.
Clndor Will probably wonder, that any ihouId
have doubted of the ftnefs of the mcafures which
this writer has 70 ably advocated, and which exc
perienee has 70 forcibiy proved to have be- n the
bcft adapted to the inrcrefts Of the country.
