In Spain and Italy there is set of fanatics
called fageltants, who fog themselves for the
good of their souls. They bare their backs,
and after lacerating themselves with leathern
thongs, or cow-hide, until they are weary, call
upon the spectators to apply the whip with
vigor. Our leading fedcralists, in their pa
tient endurance of British outragcs, very
much resemble the vjfayetlants. They bawl
out to the British government, Put it on

The Boston Palladium of Friday, says, that
T" the conduct of Mr.. Erskinc is condemned
by all parties in that country, (England) and
that the temper Of the publick mind is far be-
yond that Of the ministry" And if this were
really the fact, what had ought TO be the tenn
per of America in such case No doubt
these Anglo Editors would reply-mild, con-
descending and yielding every point in dis
pute to the extent Of our rights and priyilcg-
es, to the disgrace of the nation. But. this is
all political fabrication of theirs, and by no
means the fact. What say the Anti-ministe-
rialists-What say the political papers of that
country opposed to the present ministry /! a.
government whose particular aim is nothing
short of the complete degradation OF our gov
ernment, and the destruction of our trade
Have they not said repeatedly, that America
has borne every insult offered by England
with an astonishing degree of mild forbear-
ance-that We have repeatedly manifested an
honest and sincere disposition 10 adjust our
differences-that, in short, we have sacrificed
part of our national rights 90 preserve 1t
But, citizens of America, part will not sat
isfy their present views of commercial mo-
nopoly They must have the whole. The
question is now, are you willing to give up
those rights and that independence which they
were once compelled to recognize, for ru-
inous trafick with per6dious government
No-I will answer for you. Not all the Gold
of Britain shall purchase it-nor all the arts
and persuasions of her minions induce us to
yield particle of our invaluable privileges.
