/ have heard the fame Of them with our ears
1'hey. all have gone the same way they pes
rished by the same means. Their RUNS are
.seacons to warn U.s. Are the people OF ths
United States the wiser for all this? On the
contrary, it is evidently true that they are fols
lowing the footsteps Of those once free and
happy nations whichlos their Liberties by their
own folly and madness. They wantonly threw
away the lights OF history, and are deaf to the
warnings of former ages. The clear evidence
of their own senses they set at defiance. a
fish that has been once pricked, shuns the
hook: not so they. Experience, even their
own experience, has whipt and thumpt them
souDily but can neitherb beat in wisdom, OF
beat out folly. Jeshurun-like, they Z" waxed
fat, and kicked" When their prosperity was
in the full tide, and they had every thing thai
Eeart could wish, they discarded the wise ana
honest statesmen who, under Providence, had
raised them to the pinnacle of political happis
ness, and exalted these men who hattered ift
order to fleece them. Themselves must see
by this time, that our naticn has fallen, ims
measurably fallen from its high state /; that *
is impoverished, weakened and distracted, by
mad and futile projects, and is held in scorh
abroad and that every succeeding session of
congress only serves to make &c confusiutt
worse confounded." They see this; yet they
obstinately refuse to retrace their steps. With
eyes open, they rush forward towards the pre-
cipice. They still discard and reproach tfls
men who were the instruments of raising iherr1
to condition ofpoliticaI happiness beyond al
parallel They still cleave to the men whS
have been the means Of bringing the country
into disgrace and distress, and to the verge Of
ruin as if those who had brought it into this
abject condition were the most proper pers
sons to raise and restore it. Reason pleads
with them in vain: conscience and regard is
country, plead in vain. Self zrHl, having its
fixture in party raneor, prevails over every
thing else. They had rather give up yar6
Of conscience than an inch OF will. They
would seemingly let the country sink, so the
leaders oftheir party might rise on its ruins
and riot iii its spoils.
And what must follow Experience at lass
will give them such reproofs and scourgs
ings, as they can neither despise nor forget zs
They Will have bought nit in plenty, but 10
vii. be bought too dear, and perhaps come tee
late.
