the days of delusion have passed away
The Officers OF G.. Britain are 10 longer yelled
by shadows, clouds and dlrkness-they arc
rs plain to the understanding as a ray of
light to the human eye The schemes OF
ambition and conquest IN which the court of
st. James's has SO long INDUCED against us,
are now unrnasked, and the alternative with
the American people, is, by bravery and per-
severance, to show to the world how richly
they deserve the liberty bequeathed them by
TIER ancestors--or, by servity and meanness,
to sink dOwn--the scorn and contempt Of all
mankind. Our enemy have long declared
that Bonaparte was the only bar TO a General
Peace, and some of our citizens reposed conf
dence in this tlelusory declaration. No sooner
vast announced in America, that the Usurper
was expelled from the Throne Of France, than
many of our best informed men declared, that
Peace between the u. s. and G.. H. was inev-
itabe-But how woefuily have they been
disappointed We find that the enemy, so
soon as they were disengaged from their ku-
ropean contest, openly indulge in plans of am
bition and conquest, as extensive as those
which were ever yet ascribed To- the Hero Of
MareDgo-and 20 put them in execution, they
