avowed; anil which are to be conn
dered asfame oilhe frf fruits of French
democracy in this country. This demo-
cratic creed contains, in iubltance, the
following articles;
l. That the eonhituted rulers Of
free people are necetlariiy and always
in a fate Of holtility agaInit the pee-
pie who had elected them, and againlt
the perlonal liberty Of each individual.
2. That there mutt be conitant
difplay Of a power, equal 70 the power
of the government which the people
have organized, in order to keep the
latter within its contributed limits.
q. That the power organized agsinit
government mutt thwart and controul
its meafures by conltant and effective
reaction.
4. That the men polIefing this con-
trouIing or reasting power, mutt en-
body in themiclves g the collective
ltntiment Of the people" That is,
they mutt be felf-created junto who
pcofels to act for and in behalf of the
people, or rather call themfelves the
people.
There furely never was an engine
better calculated than this, to flbvert
all free governments ard TO plunge
the people, thro' anarchy, into depot
i'm. Tho the democratic focietlts,
planted by Genet, are feemingly witt

remain en,ire: their principles are evel
now in powerful operation in this
country, as We fhall cndeavor to thew
