mously denying the .ighi Of markind to self
gcverpmen,, and libehin ihe memory Of our
revolutionary heroes, " 20 sock vp the sword,
and rejected the same scrt of"leg egi,imals"
Iuiers from our country, ...
"a Eth, then senator of the United
States, declared 10 my presence, and al many
other times in the presence Of others, Ikat
The gcvernmen could neyer b hrereriy admin
istered, nnfi me lctorirg e!asses -vere reduced
10 fpehhood on herrings ana fofasoes.
"Thesc arc mere samples, picked up ius,
as they occurred 70 memory. II would iako
week, perhaps 10 wfiic down all such things
that have on my recollection but couple
OF octave volumes would hardly contain tho
insrrrection and royal sc mons, the "lsgi,i-
mate" orations, enti.repubIican speeches, es-
says, sc. that are preserved among my coll
lection of papers"
"lf Then, this monarebicai system be so
diffused through socisiy--ifh il be hostile TO
the Republican constitution OF The u. States
do J, in exposing It's absuIdily, and exei,ipe
zeal for self government, oct Extensively :
There 10 no county in Lurope, whese the di-
rine rigAf OF kings can be more broadly cal,
led into question. They will not tolerate
what they affect to believe is an error in this
respect, for they know that the whole busi.
ness Of king evqff end Irief crefi. is an i'm.
position and nocke,y. NE are not afraid Of
such crrors--we desire only that reason may
DC LETT free TO combat them And have
the vvDiiy 10 believe hai.I have done a hi,la
good in this way"
Mr.. Niles then proceeds 10 the charps
brought sgsins, him for his apparent hosiiiiiv
to the English governments Here (say. he,
s1e are clearly on me de/enuve. What is is
that We do, frosfershsiy, which fails TO ex-
cite the envy and maievolence OF the king
fGrsy When our commerce -four. ri.hed.-is
was said that we "spread toe much canvass 80
and, to lessen IL, they themselves supplied
france and the continent (theis enemies,l
with the very articles which they de eclsftd d IL
illegal Tor us Gn amiiy with sll) 10 carry iheres
DO we buiid vessel Of war.--it shews an " as.
piring disposition tha, must be checked"
10 we lay out new state upon our ,iyeis-
we are charged with " designs on The A1iss,s-
sitff and Missouri" Do we establish manu-.
factories--they show a hostile spirit ,owsrds
Engiand.t" Are our fisheries prosperous-.
IL Is conclusive evidence tha, our fisher men
use unfair means to succeed in their sdyen-
trous employmsn,.-Do emigian,s flock TO
our shores--it is an " alarming fact, calc uiat-
ed TO disturb the repose of the world" Does
The census shew vast increase of inbabits MIA
I'VE must, in the language Of admiral CocH-
rane, be crippled" Can we love those
who arc ever thus sbusing and threatening US.
I'VE do not complain that large part of Tho
trade which naturally belongs TO ourselves,
IS carried en- by English bottoms q We re gree
u most certainiy--5ut say il is iaiI, and SUBJ
mh TO II withou, gTuUblipg. We do NOT tech
ready TO declars was because ships ef tho
line called friga,es are launched in England,
though II 10 openly said they are intended rs
match TOR our f" cock beats" NE do nos
charge England with " des,gns'' on tho
Thames" because London has become tho
greatest, the most populous city in Europe,
and the wealthiest in the world. ne do nos
consider IT enmity 10 US that 100000 Of bec
people make their daily bread by spinning
ana weaving our cotton but think that We
ourselves may also spin and weave il as We
please. ne do not deal in Jcremfads If Hail
Jar fisherman comes in with full cargo Of
hsh. We do not consider il calculated to dis.
turb the repose of the world, if any persona
choose TO make Englsnd their domicil We
only wish that England, pursuing her own
interest as she pleases, ccnfofmably 70 tho
public law, would let us pursue ours on tho
same conditioD--we have sent no emisssries
into her countryside have distributed no Sc
cre' service money among her people
have not forged her shipping papers, and
sanctioned the forgery in conveying the ves-
sells sailing under them, by national ships
or haVe tn all cases so acted hat she has nep-
or preferred one COMPLAINT against as, erethe
IN The Srnm6i'ngs other statesmen and wrlfers
because Of oar PROSPERITY. Turn to tho re-
view OF late work on the Colonial Policy
@ Great. Britain" II is a mere typo of the
never-eeasing jealousy of Englishmen. Yet
we could laugh at all these things, whilst We
guarded against them, if we had not besn
told in Parliament Of the British party in
America"-if we did no, know that there was
such party, rich aod powerful and exlepsivo'
IN It's means to do mischief-of which, how
ever, 1t is needless to say more at this time"
My readers will bear in mind, that whsn I ak
