POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

TALENTs, learning, wisdom, integrity, cx-
perience, prudence, justice, resolution, perse-
verance, moderation, Grmness, the love of lib
erty and country, peace and moral reotiludc,
arc characteristics necc ssary to fit and quail
ily the citizen and patriot to be useful and ca
pable of managing the great and important
affairs Of state. These were the bright and
ornamental virtues which shone SO conspicu-
Gus in Washington, Franklin, Hancock, the
Adamses, Jefferson, Clinton, Lawrence, Mad
ison, Green, Knox, Gates, and Stark, together
with ali those brave and tried patriots, both in
the cabinet and in the field, who, from the
most pure motives, stood fsr,h in the cause
OF their injured country, and in defence Of her
just rights, when proud and baughty Britain,
by force OF arms sought TO subjugate us to the
CALLING yoke o! tyranny and abjcct slavery
But our brave undaunicd patriots, under God,
led us safely through the late revolutionary
war, until peace was ratified, and liberty and
independence established. To secure the in
valuable prize gained by SO much blood and
treasure TO prevent anarchy and confusion,
our wise aud virtuous fathers, influenced with
the same principles of justice, love Of liberty
and country, united and formed new consti-
tuition, every way calculated TO secure our
lives, liberty, and property cemcnting the
interest aud happiness of each State into ono
solid Union, of equal rights and privileges,
founded the most permanent basis OF JUS
ticc and truth--a glorious constitution, which
will ever rebound 10 the honour OF our coun-
try, end prove high wall and strong tower
Of defence, buIwark to the nation, AN ark OF

reduce the u. States to h~gsaFy, and leave
them defsnceless prey to his Unsuitable
