Men dissatisfied with the constitutions,

constitutions, which Bonaparte only
made to violate, they seek repose and
security from the danger Of such magni-

very check and restraint upon the royal
prerogative, as a screen, afforded tosedi-

employed. Satisfied with the paternal
virtues of their sovereign, they think that
Isucbs a constitution can only be wanted
by those who wish to abuse his clemen-

vided by such an instrument, they think
they have still stronger pledge in the
personal character Of their Prince, while
if he Is sG fettered by the constitutions
he will be enabled to act with more ener,

The people Of Maine have now become
acquainted with the characters O! the men
who are grasping at power. Never was .
developemcnt of character more complete
than that Of the majority of the convention.
Their immortality was 80 gross as 10 call
forth the animadversion Of numerous com
1nentators in the public papers, who all
appear equally prompt in denouncing so
bare-faced an imposition upon the common
and moral sense Of mankind.
The world will be ready TO enquire, are
the pople of Maine prepared 10 be govern.
ed BY The majority Of the Brunswick Con
vention For these are certainly the men
who are destined to be their Judges and
lawgivers. Not that the people would VOL
UNFAIRLY select them if left to the free exer-
cises of their own inclinations, but by fraud
and deceit, these men would impose them:
selves on the credulous, and form combina-
tons with the desperate and corrupi which
would be fatal to the peace and prosperity
ofthe community. The body ofthe peo-
pie are certainly not prepared to be govern
ed by men who have commenced an invet-
crate and implacsble warfare with all the
dictates of Judgment and of conscience, and
such are the leaders of the majority of the
convention. Still the unceasing efforts Of
this Abandoned faction would carry them
through very weighty obstacles, and might
enable them to triumph in power and con-
spicuous disgrace.
Where then would be the remedy! 1t
would eventually be found in the adherence
and disgust of the community. But the at
tainment Of this remedy would be extreme
ly expensive. These are sensations, which
though quick of excitement are slow of or
ganization, and when power is once legali-
xsdin the hands of profligate bandit,i, it
cannot be expected to be wres,ed from them
till they have committed innumerable rob-
berries upon the people.
4 The Rnmf Parliament are again to as
semble at Brunswick in December next
with the consent Of the Legislature if they
can getit, and il not, without it. Shays' in
surrection was less disgrace to the Com
monwealth, because no power was ever in
trusted to hint was all usurpalion from
the beginning. But this faction was or
ganized by law, and when their functions
ceased in virtue OF 1t, they became, like the
gentiless law to themselves.. The Leg
islature is absolutely bearded and set at de-
nance, and if they have not the resolution
to repel the intruders it bchoves every
member OF society TO provide for his per-
sonsl safety against the approaching out
RACES of the Parliament that is composed Of
them.
What will the Legislature do on this
subject Will they confirm power in the
hands Of the usurpers This is impossi-

tho's calculated that where fear could no,
De excited, resentment might; and that the
effects in either case would equally answer
theii purposes in one shape or other. With
what truth and cunning they calculated in
this particular may be imagined from the
observations Of writer in the Repertory
under the head of another opinion about
the separation of Maine" lake the fol.
lowing quotation from that writer and il will
be seen how the dose may possibly operate.
!" II might happen" says he +" that the very
measures of the convention SO much con-
demned, might afford new reasons for the
separation in the minds Of the members Of
the Legislature" This isexac,ly the ress
oning Of the subtil and vindictl,e Druid
when he conceived his plans aud brought
them forth to the Convention in form of a
report /; SO far he and the writer in the Re-
Perlory above alluded to concur in opinions.
But the Legislature will act upon their
own responsibility and in support Of their
own character, whatever may be the opin-
ion OF the leaders in the convention or Of in
considerate Spectators.
A writer in the Reperory speaking Of
the Brunswick convention says I" The
convention are already in the pllory and
every honest man is pclting them with
rotten eggs" Let us adopt figure better
fitted to the reality, and see how it will
read. The Brunswick contention, in Virtue
