FROM THE MILITARY MONITOR.
To che cfdzens of me United staf.,

TO the Citizens Of the United States.
Well The loan of & 16, 100000 has been FL.
led and, what is more extraordinary, it has been
hited with unprecedented quckness nay, it is said,
that three times the amount could be obtained
Enlistmcnts proceed rapidly, and thus the two
great sincws of war, and money, can be obtaiu-
&c and, although Mr.. Quincy will not lend cent
to the United States, nor, presume, draw a trig-
ger its defence, yet there Others who will &
IT possible that England may be conquered with
out the aid Of Quincy.
The opposition to the loan, tho opposition to en-
iistments have failed the endeavors to render the
general government contemplate and the war un-
popular have failed the efforts to alter the political
complexion OF the state legislatures have failed
forty thousand electors are ready to give their
gative to every reasonable proposal that may be
offered to the people of Massachusetts republi-
causm has far advanced even in the ROYAL state of
Connecticut; New York will stand proof against e
very attempt to enlist her, on the side of England
what then is to be done by the British, otherwise
the tory faction There remains but one expedi-
ent, aud that desperate one--to throw off the
mask at once, and boldly cry out long hue George
the Third and Iecnrnseh abe First" A tory edi-
tor to the eastward has actually dared to proclaim
the treasonable project, deceived by his compatri
ots IN New York he anticipated the triumph of trea
son at the late election, and lac fixed the bounds of
the new territory at the Delaware: thus far would
the northern confederacy step at 6rst and here
would the division line be formed between the
Wings OF the South and the Tories of the East
III e''S oahNs oi tiic DelaWare where washington
conquered the Hessisn mercenaries, the Wasliing-
fo'iia'is would re-establish an English government
But would the tory faction stop at the Delaware /?
Not, willingly ;--they would advance even to the
fotowmac, within sight of the mansion, once the
residence the immortal Washington, they would
swear allegiance TO monarchical dynasty. At the
loot OF the tomb, which holds the sacred relics of
the hrst OF American patriots, they would throw
aside all deception---the name OF Washington
would no longer be used cloak to hide treason
HIS spirit might indignantly frown, but they, with
luciter impudence would rend the air with treason
able halalujahs and hellish orgies drunk with the
cup OF ambition, maddened by the novelty of sue
buoyed up with hopes lot TO be realized, they
would surrender themselves and their country to
invader, who would reward their chiefs with
few coronets or garters but would send the dupes
of intrigue to cut wood spd draw water for new
rae Of ignoble nobility,
The British have been woefully deceived hither-
to by the reports of eastern tories A war was
necessary TO test the loyalty of the people--war
has been resorted to, and the result proves that
virtue is the predominant passion in America
The British now see that as war advances treason
retrogades, the people get undeceived and return
to the good old principles of their fathers. 1t is
not improbable that the foreign enemy will, ere
long, decline further alliance with the little tory
baud aud that peace, on terms honorable to A
merica will put an end TO the hopes of factionsts
and traitors.
