EXTRACT.

EXTRACT.
Although they permit you, Fellow Citizens
(say the Addressers) to investigate and to
to think for yourselves; yet if the result OF
your dispassionate inquiry and sober investi-
cation be unfavourable to their unequal views
and impure policy, it must not be published
to the world. The man, they tell you, who
is opposed to their administration of the GO
yernnent, is necessarily opposed to the
government ITSELF: that this opposition is at
any time improper, although it consist only in
the constitutional exercise of the Liberty of
Speech, and that in time Of War, it is the voice
Of TREASON, the signal of REBELLION that
therefore it ought and must be suppressed & if
persisted in, VIC are reminded of Martial Lay,
of embodied militia, under the command of u
States officers and g hemh and conf8cation''
have been jntimated as Republican chastisc-
ments, suitable for those, who, in time of War
dare exercise the liberty of speech, or the
freedom of the press. Whenever such out
rageously tyrannical doctrines acquire an as
tendency over the sober sense of community,
are patronized and adopted by ruling party,
and submitted to by the people, scenes like
those in Baltimore may be realized the tri-
umph Of lawless power Witnessed, and the SUI
premacy of law trodden under foot of mob.
