A pratling Philosophy, which pretending
love for man, insults the majesty OF God,
became the idol of unaeaged ssripllngs.---,
These vain boys deem themselves brave
and wise, when they insolen,iy repeated
the sounding senseless jargon Of their sheer
ing master. Whea the streets of Paris
were drluged with the blood of human He
catombs, inundated tothe modern Moloch,
our adversaries beheld it, well pleased, as
the refreshing dew to nourish>aad invigo-
rate their young creaticn. But federal
statesmen, bold iathe faith of their fathers
and stern in virtue, ceased not TO warn
needless generation Of truths, which pro-
claimed by revelation and apprevedby res-
son, have been confirmed by the history Of
man, from the earliest ages. 1t was'in vain
to declare that freedom, the child OF mo-
deration, could exist oaly by appreciation
of justice and virtue; that vice, in itself
degrading bondage, leads to 1espotism
that national crimes, exciting divine :ndiS-
nation, call down national calamity. These
sentiments were deridedb by our adverse.
ries: they were said to be illusions of SUI
perstitious prejudice--doctrines of aris,o-
cratic pride-and maxims of monarchicai
7debasement. AT length we beheid the
catastrophe of that horrible drama, where
IS the destinies of France in the hands Of
ss monsters, she WAS broken on the wheel
&c IN the face OF the world, to warn man
/" kind Of her folly and madness. On.the
'ss throne Of the Bourbons is now seated the
Is first ofthe Gallo Casars," and our adver-
zsaries are compelled. by the stubborn nigh
of facts, to acknowledge that the dream of
democratic freedom has terminated, as
such fancIes must ever terminate, in des-
potism. BE il theirs, then, to display thei
impotent rage in the vixen war of scurrility.
How has Napoiean offended, and whom:
He has exemplihed our observations, veri-
fed our predictions, and demonstrated the
folly of democratic doctrines. Surely IN
this he has not offended us. He has in.
deed wounded cur adyersaries in the ten
derest part. He has kicked out ofthe world
tina, paling, mniing cant, which had been
gulped IN beyond the Atlantic, and ej-cted
her is frltrered phrases. by the Dali Lana
of our opponents. They who have SO long
snufed up his excremsntitlous solicisms
with the blind devotion OLA Thibet Tartar,
may indulge their wrath at the mar who
derides their folly--the wheels of his irsne-
rial car, crushing as it rolls IN triumph, the
filthy buzzing tribe.
It may perhaps be imagined that We are
called on, by the love Of freedom or the
principles OF humanity, TO condemn HIM
because he has subjected toihis will millions
Of his fellow-men. Bat before; We indulge
enthusiastic emotion, let facts be calmly
examined. A little attention will shew Us,
first, that " the idea of a French Republic
s" was always a ridiculous chimara.'' Sc
condly, that the rebellion against their
just and benevolent Monarch, was un-
,principled and wicked Of whichno better
proofcan be given than the seryility of its
first movers to succession Of unfeelins
butchers, and that excessive adulatioa with
which they now hail their Imperial Mas
ter. twill appear, thirdly, that the unjust,
