OF the great Emperor, aud declaring that
Just in proportion TO Ia, eXertiOns oi phisic1i
force would be their submission; when on,
came the dispatches, displaying on the part
of the government an unbending impartiaiity
towards France and England, and producin,.

as British violence thus dragging into day.
light the great bug-boo which by dexterous
management, and partial exposure, had ILL.,
spired SO general all alarni,but which, seen III
It's t,ue colours, is instantly dlsarmed of all
its terrours. Instead of humble petitions on
the part OF Gen. Armstrong, they behold in
dignant remonstrances while Oh the part OF
the people they perceive consciously display
ed resolution To- sacrifice no right TO the
mandate OF injustice Such profits are in
deed unfit Tor their vocation, and, after such
IN exposure OF ignorance, should cover them-
selves for the rest Of their days with sack
Goth md ashes. Shoud they hereafter
plague us with their p.edctions,thcy must be
viewed in the light OF lying prophets and will
only te serviceabe, by indicating course,
the very reverse of which may be expected.
Did humility and conliItion attend the cx-
culcate iorbearance but as if despair had
driven them To Madness, instead of being ST.
lent under their exposure, we hear nothing
but The rs<ings of bedlam, and " grave di-
vine," solemniy avows his fear that the Ian
guase Of reprobalion of France by the Nj
tionai Intciligencer is intended To pave the
way for Illuminating treaty with her. Shame,
where is thy blush, when "a man by prole ssion
called upon habitually to consult the oraces
OF truth, manifests such a depraved disregard
for truth itself
Such is the miserable predicament into
which errour leads her vot-ries we say ST.
rour, for we cling TO the hope that few OF
those who fill The ranks of Federalism arc vi-
ciCuS.
Here then is IA Gi, an honourable occasion
Tor those VINO have the good OF their country
at heart, but have been led astray by design
ing men, to spurn from them evil advice and
evil advisers, and TO acknowledge and prdc.
tice the duty OF supporting an upright aud
enlightened government, which, although it
may, on some subordinate points, pursue
course that Is not precisely such d, all good
men would wish, YET nas in constant view
the welfare OF the whole community, the eau
ses OF liberty, and the righ,s of all indepen-
dent nation. Never has the Republican ao-
ministration lost sight of the one or sacrificed
the other I; and never will either suffer so
long as the people are an.nistcdb by patriot
lex resolution To support their own govern
ment against the injustice Of The whole for
eign world. That government, teliow-cid-
zens, has no foreign partaiaty every drop
of blood in its Weighs is Am ,rican its true
and only glory is identified with the indepcn.
dence oi its country, and its sole fame deriv-
cd from hcr happiness.
Let then patriotick, holy zeal, rise in
your hearts 1t is not yet too late. by an un-
aDimous expression Of your feelings ana pur-
poses, to convince the tyrants OF Europe, that
they have no chains Tor US, and that, rather
than wear them, we will be satisfied with the
peace ard plenty of al that is essential to
comfort, to be found within our own limits
Withdraw your confidence from those who
have misled you. No longer trust those who
have deceived you, and degraded your coun-
try. Cease TO listen 10 men, who cherish
jackson as a bosom friend, and who, at the
very moment they are abusing Republicans
for their torbearance towards France, arc ell
gagged in palliating, advocating and cuiogising
the British government. Contrast this con.
duct with that of the Repubhcans.--Theyd do
not stoop to paliate the wrongs of either
power much less do they extoi the one as
the saviour Of the world, at the moment she
is heapin- injuries upon us.
