and you must fight me. will fight you il
you insist upon it, but I do not see how
that will mend the matter-for if you kill
me shall smell too, and if 1 kill you, you
will smell, if possible, worse than you do
at present.
How can such miserable sinners as
we are entertain so much pride, as to con-
ceive, that every offence against our imagin.
ed honor, merits death. These petty princes
in their own opinions would call that sove-
reign tyrant, who should put one of the m
to death for a little uncivil language though
pointed at his sacred person. Yet every
one makes himself Judge in his own
cause; condemns the offender without a
Jury, and undertakes himself to be the ex-
ecutioner."
Captain DON, of the brig Msty, arrived in

No Republic of the many which have
existed has stsod. All, all have fallen in
the very same way, and by the treacherous
hand Of the same hypocritical assassin. De-
mocracy breeds demagogues, demagogues
make and spread lies; these excite pass-
ons and kindle the bon6res which light the
Republican First Consuls to the shroae, and
the true patriots to martyrdom. In word,
RIGHTEOUSNESS destroys republics, and he is
the true republican, the friend of liberty
whosets himself about to re.tr.n Len.
tiousness. But as this work would restrain
dem.gogues, they loose no time to destroy
or whichis the same thing to render un-
popular the man who would curb licentious-
ness.
Accordingly the business ofconfusion be-
gins by confounding names & he who agra.
Yates the known and fatal dangers of lber-
ty is called republican, and he who tries
his utmost to lessen those dangers is called
the enemy ofliberty. HE'S preferred who
gilds and sweetens poisons, the physician
is slain for prescribing antidoses. This
work ofmischief seemingfyso strange, ne
vertheless is ever successful. Already our
liberty has lost It's best props. The Con-
stitution has no longer an independent Ju-
dietary for bulwark ; the President, who
alone dictates and whose will is as little
INSTRUCTED as chat of Tiberus was by the
cypher Senate of Rome, has an empire
of his own bought indeed with public mo.
ney, but as much Province for an ambi-
