LEVI LINCOLN.
CREED OF THE ESSEX JUNTO.

Co. are sound politicians and patriots, because
they recommended thirteen years ago, and
ever since, "a war against France, by which
we should have lost all the commence we have
enjoyed and the wealth we now possess, anG
driven our navigators and farmers out oil the
coun,ly!
| believe that Mr.. Madison is partial to
France, because he signed an arrangement
with Eng land, by which our trade to England
was doubled, and our trade to France cut oil !
believe the American government acted
faithessly in shat arrangement, because the
American government carried II into full
execution, and because the English govern
ment rescinded 1t
believe that it is our fault there is no ac-
commodation with England, because Mr.. Jei-
ferson rejected a treaty which had note to II
reserving the ribh to England TO cripple our
trade by Orders in Council, whenever she
though, fit !
believe that England is really friendr to
us and our trade, because she rejected Mr..
Erskine's arrangement on account OF ITS pos
siDly permitting the American merchant to
have u carving trade to Holland, to the inju-
ry Of her snuggiers!
believe America ought to join England
against France, to prevent the universal dom
ina,cn of France, because England is able to
DEFY the world in arms
believe England, when she says she is
driven by necessity 20 prevent the continent
from receiving colonial produce, because she
would not allow the American merchant to
Interfere with her merchants in carrying CO.
lonia produce to Hoisnd
believe England would rather enrich A.
merica than France, because she prefers buy
ing wheat and other produce from the French
themselves, to buying it OF America!
| believe The Republicans want to drive us
into war, because they have kept the country
in peace for ten years, and because John Ran
dolph in the last Congress invoked blessing
Oh President Jefferson for keeping the coun.
try in peace
believe Congress want war, because
they simply approved OF Mr.. Madisons dis
missing foreign minister, who told the gov
ernn,ent they lied, and said he would contin
We to do it as long as he pleased
believe Mr.. Madison wants a war will
England, because when he dismissed min
lister who insulted him, he sent official notic
TO ENGLAND that he would treat with any othe
functionary!
believe our government would have beer
very wrong even to have contradicted Mr
Jackson, because he tod our governmen
they lied snd would continue to do j,
believe MIR. Madison did wrong in dis
missing Mr. Jackson, because telling oul
government it lied, was no insult in him
though it would be most Infamous insult ir
q French or other minister
believe the government broke off ar
"impcr,ant" |" negotiation with England, be.
NJ. hol 90. b.,,
terms which we all say are inadmissiblc
believe the government might have made
an honourable treaty with Mr.. Jackson, be-
cause he soIemniy declared that we must al.
low the British navy to enforce our laws
which we all think dishonourable, and not il
any event to be allowed
believe we ought not to call the affair
of the Chesapeake /" q massacre" because
/, Pickering, Gore & Co. think that 1t was nc
more than we rebels" deserved
believe England has disavowed the attack
Oh the Chesapeake, because she declares b.
Mr.. Jackson that she claims as her right those
seauen who deserted form her service, tho
they shpuid even prove to be impressed a.
Americans
1 Deiieve England seriously meant repara-
ton for that attack, because she demands
prior to it, that America should take off her
proclamation for keeping the peace in hel
own harbours, though already dissolved by
act OF Congress.
believe that we ought to love England
andhatc our countrymen, because England
sent hordes of merccnariee TO enslave MS, and
our !" rebels" joined with Hancock and Wash
ingtou to eoaAf',cr thrW!
IbcIieveit Is better to be tory than a
