scemsto breathe complaints against govern

sis'anee as he wishes, upon being threatened
with invasion. He ought 20 recollect that
when government called upon his predeces-
sor in office for that aid in the present Just and
necessary war which ne was bound by the
constitution to afford, he, after consulting his
council, uncquivocally refused. Now as that
State had wilhholden its assistance in tho
common cause, government was obliged TO
withhold assistance in turn. What right then
had Mr.. Smith to complain Governor Girls
void was disposed, as evidently appears by
one Of his letters, TO harmonize with govern.
ment In prosecuting the war (; but after taking
advice Of his council, of which Mr.. Smith wes
FIRST, He was prevailed upon to change his
mode Of couduch and to cooperate with tho
friends Of Great Britain. Mr.. Smith unques-
,icnably was to Gov. Griswold, wha, Hamil.
ton was to EScsident Adams, q bad adviser.
II IS hoped, however, that he will wake from
his delusion, and perceive the necessity of
still longer adhering to the interests Of the
confederation.
