france divided and torn by spirit OF faction
and discomfort, fell victim to the rapacious
grasp oftyranny and ambition. Her fall has
offered to the wisdom Of the world an awful,
and an instructive lesson. She is indeed at
TINS moment the most powerful nation in Fu-
rope; but she is the most miserable. Her la,l-
reis are furnished by the crimes which gained
them.-f1er shouts Of victory are mingled
VITA the groans of oppression. Her triumphs
have been great and numerous bat fer them
she is more indebted to art and assimilation
than to honest valor
Fellow Citizens! it is time to guard against
the dangers which encompass us--it is time to
awake from that lethargy which has almost de-
stroyed US. We have Philip to contend
with, and must be vigilant Let us unite in
one resolution, to re Jet the encroachments of
ambition-let us expel the wolves who prowl
among US, and by glorious struggle evince
to the world, that the sparks Of patriotism
which infamed the heroes of '76, are not ex-
tinguished., America, nnrtured under the aus
pices of an indulgent Providence, must not be
branded with the stigma Of subjugation.
We have attained an eminence in the map
of nations We are regarded as free and en-
lightened people; and most probably as the
strongest barrier between ambition and uni
versal dominion. We are, it is true, hume
rous and powerful but what avails our power
Or our numbers, if we will not exert them !
Since we have a government too economical
to establish and support a naval force, our de-
pendence mist be on ourselves. Let us then,
cherish spirit of unanimity, and as brothers
we will be preared to defend each other
1t is In vain to dwell on the necessity of a ma
val force, our government disapproyes oft,
and we must submit. Experience will one
day teach US, that to preserve teace, is to be
prepared fox svar.'' CODRUS.
