mcnts Of danger! It.has been generally nc
knowledgcd by unbiased and independent
men, that the commercial part OF communi-
ty is sometimes venal and always liable to be
corrupted. Lest what j have here advanced
should be denied in the abstract, will adduce
a few examples which will remove Ill doubts.
Carthage was the most commercial nation of
all antiquity and where in the pages of histo-
ry shall We 6nd a nation more ycnal, trcache-
rous or corrupt ?--If living examples are re-
quired, will introduce England.
But if allowed to reason, a hrio,f, to descend
from the aggregate to the constituent parts,
will direct your attention to some of the COM
lmercial towns OF Ncw-England, during the
days Of the embargo-days OF disaster, the
fcderalists have told you, brought about by
the impolitick measures Of our government.
This language may form creed for tories
and British hirelings-I shall not now attempt
to refute or even call it in questionable in

established, that he who runs can read, and
he who reads must understand. But to re-
turn to our subject What would have been
the situation of our country, If, during the
days of the embargo, we had actually becnfin-
yolved in war +! Who would have girt on
their armour and met our enemies at the wa
atcr's edge Not our merchants, for they had
used all the means which their invention
could devise, TO aid and abet our ayowcd ene-
mics. No--the these lily-skin'd men, whose
swords arc worn only on festal days, and days
Of tranquility and repose, would have fed to
our mountains, and there have cncampcd un-
ill they could have been safely transported to
their land of.freedom, where they would have
intrenched themselves under the royal prerog-
ativc Of the British crown
You, my fclowAcitizens, farmers, mechan-
