Serious truths an short metre.
Our nation has been led in wrong
and fatal track, and is plunged at last
into labyrinth of difficulties. Nor is
there any other way of escaping ruin,
but 70 retrace its steps. Unjust return
to the honest, magnanimous policy of
Washington else it is lost This
truth is made so clear by wofuI expert
ence that all must see il, unless viii
fully blind. All Intelligent and well in
formed men, OF both parties, do see it.
But with many, here's tie rub' A
change Of policy would be t4cit con-
fession Of error. 1t would wound the
pride of opinion. Il wouid awaken the
predominant party. 1t would crafty
federalists. Perchance il might put
power in their hands. This they are
determined to oppose with all their
might, let what will come. Like the
false mother, they would rather Sly the
child, than restore it to the right own
CT.
What spirit TO prefer the gen
eral good to the interests oil individuals
or of party, Is the great hinge Of polit-
ical virrue. Nothing short Of tins de-
serves the name Of patriotism. Its OPP
posite, with whatever spceious pee
fences it may be covered, is the genu-
Inc spirit OF faction : and faction in a
republic IS the mother Of despotism
