'-
schemes Of your Rulers are about to blast
the hopes you may fondly cherish, as the re-
suit Of your toll and Labor. Instead of the
payment of your debts, the support of your
innocent children, and the future improvement
of your farms, the iron hand of the soldier,
the merciless tax gatherer, and the idle and
dissipated minion of executive favor, viii
riot on your spoils, and smile your undoing.
Liberty, Peace. and Plenty will be banished
perhaps forever from your land, and the fell
grasp of foreign tyrant, who has desolated
with blood the fair fields Of Europe, will take
YOUR sons for cohscripts, convert your fields
into deserts, and your pIough-sharcs into
spears. Not to sec that what is passing at
Washington will lead to these results, is to be
worse than blind. Surely God, in his wrath,
has not determined as to you, what he de-
nounced upon his perverse foes of old, by the
mouth of his prophet" Go and tell this peo-
pie, hear ye indeed, but understand not, and
see ye indeed, but perceive not-make the
heart of this people fat, and make their ears
heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and un-
derstand with their heart, and convert and be
healed ;-Then said l, Lord how long and
he answered, anti tde cities &c 7casted yyithout
iaha6itant, and the hoases without man, and the
land be utterly desoldte." Rouse then from
] your torpor, your sleep of death--to be free,
to be happy, to be at peace, to be prosperous,
4 70 be respected; you have only to will it.
The owls and bats that have seized the twi-
light of your sinking splendor, to play their
nurderous and theivish tricks in, will sink
before the rising majesty of an awakened and
regenerated people. The freemen of the
northern and middle states will no longer
brook the rule of visionary philosophers, spe-
cnlatiDg politicians and chop logicians, nor
the prospect of despot's sway. The dcsti-
MES OF your country are yet in your hands,
and you may, by your conduct now, either
pace yourselves at tie head of q confederacy
q freemen, or bear the infamy of leading Ii
erty and humanity captive at the feet OF fac
Ton and despotism. There was atlme when
