The tools therefore of this extirpator Of
human Liberty, while silent as the grave
with respect to the actual war waged upon
Us by France, find in every measure Of the
British government cause Of quarrel. The
.arti6ce Of conceafiog real injuries and sub
ssaaeiat dangers, under the rnask OF loud
and clamorous Indignation against acts Of
questionable right, and expressions i'd their
natare equivoeal, has long been praetissd
with lamen,able success. WhiA the Smiths.

and boistcreusly demand, that war against
England, to force Us into which, the luture
master of the {" two Americas" ayows tobe

BY boldly drawing unwarranted inf r.
ences, and daringly asserting them az faet.S
by concealing or lightly passing ever the
deep, perhaps mortal wounds inflicted on
our independence, by tn. tyrant, who con-
ceals only from the willuily blind, the
chains he has forged, the attention of the
American people is directed from the ire
danger which i. ready to burst
