But amidf thefe proud trophies of govern

ftitution and laws in the civil departments of
the government, and has thus fufpended, for

cefiity that may have dictated thefe meafurcs,
there is no man in this country friendly to our
political inftitutons, that mnR not fncereIy

the mott necelary prefervatives of freedom.
