his vessels had attracted electrical fluid ninety
eight times, not one instance had occurred in
which those parts of the masts and spars painted
black, with mixture of lamp black and oil, had
been injured by lightning, whilst other parts had
been shivered i'll pieces He was led to observe
the phenomenon from reading of the singular ef-
fects Of lightning upon piebald cattle and horses,
the affinity of the fluid for those parts of the
streaks in the animals which were white being

The citizens Of this country need to be often
reminded that he who keeps watch and ward for
Freedom, has to guard against two enemies, the
Despotsm OF the Few. and the Despotism Of the
Many-but especially against the sycophants OF
the People.
License these mean when they cry lib crty!
For who loves that, must first he wise and good.
Thousands i'll the heated multitude forget, or
have never reflected, that liberty is not the only
blessing of society; that though desirable for its
own sake, it yet derives its main value as The
means of calling forth and securing other advan-
tagcs and eScecncies-lhe deveopement Of the
moral virtues, the graccs of refined social
state, and independence of the tyranny of pas
sion and sensuaIity. Il often happens that men
--Drem themselves most free
When they within this gross and visible sphere
Chain down the winged soul, scoffug ascent.
