ADDRESS

REPUBLICANS OF TIE U STATES.
F7cii5Tu- Citizens,
An Interesting crisis has ia
ken place in the affairs of your country. The
war which during many years had agitat-
ed tire nations Of Europe, has at length ex-
tended its banefui effects to US. IN the course
Of an arduous contest, France had acquired
the absolute dominion OF the European con-
tincnt, while Great Britain has maintained
an unrivallcd asCendancy upon the oce-
an. inpreSnable and invulnerable to each
other by the operations of an ordinary war
fare, the high contcntling parties have been
driven TO a conflict Of policy rather than of
arms. England ON one hand resolved TO in
terdct the furnishing supplies to France,
and her dependencies While France On the
other, determined to assaii the commerce of
her rival, which she perceived to be the
foundation OF her power and the sinaws OF
her maritime greatness. A contest SO des-
perate in is natnre, SD pcCuliarin its charac-
ter, has interrupted on DESTROYED the inter
course Of natlons.--Laws that have followed
the footsteps Of civilization, Principles rem

hose who wish to avail themselves of
this plan OF writing to their friends.
must take notice, that those parts printed
IN Italics, were blanks in the original
printed letter, and are filled up in COM
mon writing.
am aware that some fastidious peo-
pie may object, that it is ridiculous to
address all ourfriends in the same terms;
that 1t is absurd to talk to a friend about
his apparent reluctance of communica-
tlon," or about "exertions to blow
GOODNESS in his breast" when no such
circumstances in fact exist but reply,
that this is not more absurd, than it was
OF Mr.. Bradley to talk to Sloan and o.
theirs, about their "inRuence, i,Jormation
and talents" 1t may also be objected,
that IN writing to our friends, we ought
always TO speak the sentiments we feel;
and as our feelings must be different to-
wards different grades of friends, we
Cannot, without being guilty of false,
hood, make the same professions to-
wards them all. This objection can only
be urged by the enemies of Philosophy.
When we remember that these degrees
in friendship, which originate in parti-
atty tor our immediate connections, are
sclons OF ancient superstition, which are
exploded by the illumination of modern
improvements, we will directly see that
this objection is unfounded. Upon the
whole, am OF opinion that the epistle,
herewith published, ought to be esteem
cd an excellent precedent of circular
"letter qf friendship" and forthwith a.
dopted by all who write to their friends.
Indeed, with few triAing alterations,
1t would serve as circular love letter:
for if am not much mistaken, it was
"c0mbiled" from some very sublime love
letters new in the possession of young
lady at BROWNSVILLE. XII
