AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.

.AMERlCAN CONSTITUTIONS IS
Some of my readers having found il diff
cult to procure copy of the American Con
stitu,ion, and as that document is now become
somewhat interesting, in consequence of the
bold avowai of our corrapt presses, that 1T is
our design to overthroto the democroiic gcs
ernment oil the United States, end TO replace
II by the best government in the World I; have
thought il advisable to rcpublish The former,
in order that, by a comparison Of both, the
public may judge which Of them deserves the
preference.
As 10 the right we claim, Of compelling the
Americans to accept of what form OF govcrn-
mcnt may be the most suitable TO our ideas,
and the probability of their complying with
our views, the declaration Of indefendence,
which precedes the constitution, is the best
criterion that can be given upon that subject.
With the TRUTH Of the statements which
this decar alton presents have no concern. I
give /, merely as a public document, which
all the world saw al the time, and which may
be still seen in our files Of newspapers, ia our
magazines, and in accounts Of the American
revo luton, published at that peri.sl. lt-may,
however, be remarked that our government
afterwards Recognized the independence OF
the Americans, entered into treaties with
them, and received their ambassadors at the
Court Of st. James, upon the same terms that
we now receive The accredited ministers Of
the most favor ed nations. These circumstan.
css, in my. apprehension, go pretty far to
shcw, that the complaints of America, and
the reasons she assigned in l776 for separat-
ing .lfrom this county, were acknowledged
here, by our own government, to be well
founded. Since then, a thousand circumstan.
ces have occurred to render independence
more dear 10 the people, and to induce them
TO resist any attempts that may be made to re-
store British inlldence.- they forced
Us odt Of the country, they only then aa'iei-
hated the blessings OF Freedom. Now they
enjoy them and il to this we add, that they
have become GREAT as manufacturing, as q
com mmercial, anc asa NAVAL people, we shall
soon be convinced, that the recolonizat,on of,
and the destruction Of democracy in the Uni
ted States, is a task much easier accomplish.
