the foundation Of the world in the history of polti-

shallow than This Baltimore project; and Yet mono
ever caught m9ic sulls. II the influence of thlsn
furious scheme to deprive free people of their lib

before our eyes to enslaye a free people. Blu, this
p"ll zeal trap, devised by the Prince of lnnguers,
AMI set with cunning trg gers by his Janissary
corps, has c'ught already, and is likely to catch
thousands, whose in diligence in other days would
have been deemed inflilibe seccrlly against even
deeper laid schemes. There was tin,o in the
Her days OF tho Republic, when these things could
not have been The time was, when the
thors OF such scheme would have been swept
with reslstless force from the confidence Of an Ia
suited people. The time was, when an Amedcan
citizen, with the blood of any other than Swiss
mercenary flowing in his veins, would sooner have
been a dog to bay the MOON" than have been
dragged along at the heels Of such scheme. How
is II now, and what do VIC behold Tho Repuo-
