FELLow-cITIZENs,
An army, under the command of
Sen. Bolivar, approaches for the purpose
afinyading your capital. This army pre-
tends to call itself the army of the u
Mon" tits in his pay and IS. opposed
principally of Grenadine soldiers, your

circumstances, YOU know what ought to
be Toarduty. My voice will not be rails
ed, but to declare to you that ifthis army
belongs to the union, and is paid by us.
ii is not for the purpose of invading our
territory. The general government
in whose name | address you, and
which, as your representative, | as
sisted in establishing, is parental 60
yernmert. It loves you: it has not for
gotten your Efforts and the sacrifices you
made tosecu;e independence, and far o.
therwise than having declared that war
should be wased against YOU. it has ex-
pressly directed that it should be avoided.
The general acts in contradiction to the
orders of the government under which
he serves; therefore let your condact be
regulated accordingly.

found, which conforms to the above re-
cited provision of the conStitutiou'! lhe
law does not contain one solitary SEN
tence on the subject; on the contrary IS
it not clear, from the minimum established
by. this unconstitutional law, that the
single city Of Philadelphia will in all pro-
liability pay more Of this oppressive exac-
ton than,th whole state Of Virginia
There is net an individual acquainted
with that state and this city, that can en-
terrain doubt of the fact, and predict
with confidence that the event will Justl-
fly the assertion--But, in any event, the
constitutional provision, as relates to the
slave representation, has in this direct
tao been utterly disiegarded, and an as
sessment at once unconstitutional and
unjust, has been enacted?
Ihat-a tax OH old furniture to pay rsu
de5ts, should suggest itself to the author
of this tax, or that it should be approved
by his patron, would excite no surprize,
did we only consider that, by the one,
furniture might have been deemed a lux
ury, and that the house of the other,
which had been furnished at the expense
of the United States, was left without
even the show Of defence, a prey to
thieves and incendiaries; but the igno-
rance or subservience which could pro-
pose a tax of such accumulated wrong
and vexation, when its product vii! not

The eminent services Of general Jack

entitle him to every thing that the graft

without authority, nobody was then DIE
posed to enquire. A voluntary suolnis

frmness enough to hold the reins OF go

himself, in a most critical emergency,
every one then felt to he required by the
occasion. Butrecently anindiscreet use

The dissatisfaction produced by this
unequal imposition on some OF the local

to elude it, to apply to the French consul
to be recognized as French subjects, and
