the tory editors have since approved OF worse
conduct, by far, on the part Of Copenhagen
Jackson. But our Republican brethren should
rccollect that Mr.. Genet was not only acting
under instructions, which he was bound to O.
bey, but that his enthusiasm in the cause of
liberty led him to believe that her destiny in
the world depended upon close connexion
between France and America. Under this
Influence Of ,he best Of feelings, the noblest
of sentiments, and with an imperfect view Of
the American character, he was undoubtedly
carried beyond the bounds Of discretion. But
be that as it may France has since deserted the
cause Of liberty, and Mr.. Genet has solemn
ly abjured the character of French citizen,
and sworn allegiance to the United States, a.
grccable 10 our constitution and laws--and
surely our respect for the constitution and
laws alone, ought to restrain us from doubt
ing or impeaching his fidelity, till he shall
have exhibited some proof of treachery TO
America--but that proof, We are certain,
none but British minion will pretend to find
in his laLorious researches for the vindication
OF our national rights.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1811-10-23

this number superb ally sketched, would
cost money to be sure, and require suosu-
tute to that impolitick system OF revenue de-
pendent entirely ON foreign commerce and
calculated to keep America in the fetters OF
Europe-but what would be the expence
compared TO the total stagnation OF our COM
merce-thc ruin of our shipping, the fall OF
our produce, the annihi!ation of our income,
the alienation Of South America, the con-
tempt Of the world and the unfortunate dis
couragemcnt and discontcnt, which would
pervadc the different classes OF society and
might excite civil connections, great deal
more dangerous than an open state OF war.
The matter which have concentrated in
this number, requiring to be more fully dis
played, will illustrate in future communica-
tions, the measures which have only point
cd out respecting an American political con-
fedcracy, the armies cf neutrality, the navy,
tho holillas, the national conveys and other
coIaminatory and preservatiyc measures.

great and rapidly increasing population of

Turn again to Table I. view the vast in

the rapidly increasing population of Georgia,
Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky. These are,
Republican States and districts, and these a.
lone are sufficiently numerous TO turn the
balance of power, these give large MAORI

Is it not, fellow-citizens, strong presump-

ly wrong in the principle and practices OF
federal men, to arm such an host of free and
