lie has been said. that all the sentiments

have been falsely ascribed to the secret

planned by one of three solutions:
l. " That those whohave carried the rise
OF this influence UP as high as the American
Revolution, had completely forgotten to as
cribe the feelings, which we then entertain
ed tor .ranCe-to the aid, which we had
received from her In a seven years war for
liberty:
Q That those. who had traced il in the
sentiments ofthe Republican Party towards
the French revolution, have artfuliy supuos-
ed the same sentiments to exist at the pre-
sent ume--tiicy have transferred all the
sentiments which we entertained for France
at the ansfRcions periods of her Revolution,
when She was struggling for her liberties, to
the deSpotisrn which has since supcryencd
in that country: And that,
3 Those, who now pretend to trace il
IN the sentiments OF the party or in the acts
OF the last administration, are guilty of the
extreme folly Of ascrijiDg these sentiments
and measures to the influence of France,
winch have been forced upon US as the means
OF redress and preservation against the muI.
tipiied wrongs of G.. Britain That thosc
measures, which we have adopted as the
means of resisting British ehcroachnents.
