! fully discussed. We have stated these
as the ostensible causes Of the war.-as
if there was another and real cause of
the war. We verify believe that these
were only colorado pretexts, while the
real cause was desire to keep alive the
jealousies and 'animosities consequent
on eur revolutionary struggle, in order
to perpetuate power in the hands Of
those who now bold it. But the prsjcct
seems to have failed in considerable
degree. Our native citizens begin to
be alive to their true interest.--and pre-.
sident Madison owes his election again
to the state of Pennsylvania, ruled by
foreign emigrants, majority Of the ma.
tivecltlzens were against him. They can
not wish for perpetual quarrel with the
country of their ancestors. They cannot
wish to see that nation destroyed, so long
the seat of arts, of science * of commerce
the nurse Of liberty, when liberty was
extinct every where else--the pattern
of rational pisty, benevolsncs and cha
rity. They cannot wish to subject such
a people and such 4 country to the iron
sceptre of Napoleon: They must anti
cipate their own subsection to the same
tyranic slavery. When Europe shall
groan under his chains, it is cause
Of dreadful anticipation to our coun.
try, to find the friends of the pre-
sent administrator, rejoicing in the sue
cessss OF this feracious conqueror.-
Can any sincere friend to liberty, jus
tice, or national independence, feel plea
sure in bchoIding bleeding and pros
trate world at his feet. IfAmericans-
such be your feelinss-you must be al.
ready fit for any other government than
that which you possess. We fear that
we have exhausted the patience of our
readers. Yet much remains to be un-
foldad, but we will close with few
monitory remarks, which, to follow thro'
all their frigEtful consequences, VIC
leave Gin hours of sober reflections) TO
our fellow citizens. A dissolution of
the union may be one consequence OF
this war. A close alliance may follow
bctween the maritime part of the Unit
ed States and Britain. Think, oh Vir-
sinia, if such an event should take place,
where then will be yeur power-what
will be your condition and that of your
southern ncighbors.
