This does not look like undertaking military tai
eus; and we have no desire 10 sec such talents under
valued either in Republics other forms Of govern
ent. But if the cause be sought out why all these
men, after serving their country in military capa-
city, hive been elevated 10 the high stations which
they occupy it will he found not always TO have
proceeded from the free and unconstraincd will OF the
people. Some OF them have rode into power on the
necks OF their fellow citizens and now reign rather
than preside, the public destincs Against such
usUrpation itbccomcs every freeman TO remonstratc
outrage upon the very sanctuary of liberty. In
our own country we are happy TO believe there is
spirit OF jealousy universally prevalent, which will
forever defeat any attempt Mt military rule, which
is not authorized and sustained by our free Cous,-
tution.---Jouy. Of Com.
