We are aftonilhed to find that
fome of our friends have fuppofed US
iocular, in an opinion which we "a
vowed fome time since that Bonaparte
was a moniter and did not belong to
the human fpecies. We lay this
down as poaulate, and if man
has no feelings that appertain to hu
man nature, it he has no appetites
and palIions analagou to the COM
mon race of mortas if he does
without temptation, and contequcnt-
ly without motives, what man can
only be prevailed on to perform by
iuch itrong itimuI ants, he does not
belong to the race of men. Now, it
mutt be admitted on all hands, that.
Bonaparte is precilely this character
be dses evii far the Jake Of eUi1. If
honour was his object that object has
long Gnce been obtained-lf extent
of territory was his object, that has
been obtained likewlfe ii glory was
his object that has alfo been Obtained
If piunder or fattery was his OBJ
iccts, thefe he has had in abundance.
Let thols who think differently from
US point out one Jingle thing,
within the grafp Of human attainment,
that Bonaparte has not, and they will
advance little, and but little way,
in the argument to prove that be be-
longs 10 the bunan lpecieS. All other
conquerors, since the creation OF
man to the preieat day, when thefe
objects were acquired, have relap.rd
into mercy. They had indeed fpalms
of depravity, aud they were only
spasms-they were ftimulated by
itrong excitemen,s. In the career Of
Bonapar,e we difcern nothing OF this
apology for his depravity. Power is
only valuable to him becaufe it ena
b;es him to inhict miferies, torture &
death, on thofe who have never CT
Tended characterization OF territory is
deGrable. becaufc he can lay cities &
continents in alhes becauie he can
murder on a more comprehensive
fcalc. In fhor,, to purlue this dif-
quitting analysis, if he marries it is
without love, without one sexual
feeling it only enables him to give
energy and confolidation to his per
iuries, facriliges and murders he
delights TO make treaties and facred
promiirs, becsufe thefe he regards as
the loaded oice in the politicsl game
which he is now plaving-they arc
made undoubtedly for the deliberate
aid expreis purpoie of violation

that whenever mankind repois con.

actions If 3oeo miles OF ocean tepa

rampant, and deluge another unof-
Tending continent in blood. Tie LET'S

diItrua and treachery, that he may

ter. innocent blood is the element
in which he TWINS, as much as water
is that of the finny race. Now,
wherein does this monaer differ from
the character of a malignant demon !
Ia nothing but in his being inveited
with human body. lie does the
mitchell of demon, in the charac-
ter of a man We see in him the
fame deadly hoilility to Heaven, and
the fame internal hatred of mankind,

not one feature of difference in thefc
two characters, if we except the hu.

Never did Imagination conceive OF
