1t is fubjef of no imall congratulation
to the real friends of their country, to hnd
the leading men at Prefent in power, in
lome inGances, returning to thofe found
principles which characterized the former
administrations Of the general government.
Bot few years have elapled iince the at
sachments of certain perlons, now high in
office to French principles, lad well nigh
involved US in mof ruinous war with
Great Britain. Nothing but the ralhnefs
of the hra minifer of Republican France,
and the tranicendent popularity of our Il
lufrious Waihington, iaved the United
States from this dreadful event. The
votes of the bqtyiots OF that day are now
taft changing. They fod that they mutt
either facrihce the interef and welfare OF
their country, or fubmit to follow the re-
bro5ated maxims OF the late administrations.
No4v, they begin to find, what the Fede-
ralias have long maintained and inculcat-
ed, that all the projections of reflect, BY
French Republicans, for rhe rights 81 nan
for liberty and equality, &c. were hol-
low and hypocritical-that their revo-
lutionary contributions would terminate in
a military defpotifm-,bat they would be
a fcourge to thcmielves, and nuiiance to
their neighbours. Such have been the
event-but of late the evil, of which only
the dihant rumour had yet reached US,
begins to draw near, ard to menace our
Southern States with actual DANGER
This is no pleafant PROJECT TO Southern
Planters but their representatives have
not the refo]uyien to take thofe Deceive
ieps which are necedary TO avert the i'm
pending evil. Had they not impaired
the reyenue-reduced the army and navy, |
and by ta,ty dJgiu9ion5 alienated the at
fections and confidence Of more than aae
half of the citizens Of the United States,
and that half unqueaionably poheding the
Target portion OF the wealth, talents and
character of the country, they might
look the danger in the face unappalled.

in the debate on the repairs of the Ber-
ceau, iaid, That any feniible man
would not need minutes rejection to con-
vince him that there can be no fympathy

that the PRECEDENT felt no Partially to the
