were scattered like dung over the
face of the earth.
Fearing that if France We're suffer
ed to go on at this rate, there would
not. in a little time, be a crown lett
in Europe, the crowned heads all fed
Grated to stop her. The whole sur
rounding world, both by land and
water, was in commotion; and ire
mendous fleets and armies poured IN
from every side, to overwhelmn her.
With unanimity and valor to their
dangers, the w~orld-loving Gauls rush
ed forth in browning millions to meet
their foes. The mighty armies joined
in battles, appearing to the terrlfed
eve, as if the whole human race were
rushing togther for mutual destruc-
ton. But not content with setting the
eastern world on fire, the furious COM
batants like Millions waring Spirits
tearing up and finging mountains ana
islands at each other) flew to America
to seize and drag her into the war.
Flaming on this Grant, Nh. Genet
lighted on our continent as an envoy
from France. He was received with
ioy as a brother republican. The peo-
pie everywhere welcomed him as the
representative of a beloved nation, to
whom, under God, they owed their
liberties. Grand dinners were given
sparkling bumpers were filled, and
standing up round the vast conYlVlal
board. with Joined hands, and cheeks
glowing with friendship and the gen
erous Juice, they rent their air with
""health and fraternity to the sister
republics of France and America"
Washington joined in the general
hospitality to the stranger. He eX-
tolled the valor, and congratulated the
victories of his brave country men.
Born sir" said he, in the land OF
Liberty. for whose sake | have spent
my best years of life in war, can
not but feel a trembling anxiety
wherever | see an oppressed people
drawing their swords and rearing
aloft the sacred banners of freedom.
Enraptured at finding in America
such a cordial spirit toward his our
country, Mr.. Genet instantly set him
self to call it into the fullest eXertlon.
And by ~artfully ringing the changes
on British cruelty, and French gener-
osity, to the Americans, he so lar
succeeded as to prevail on some per
sons in Charleston to commence the
equipment Of p%rivateers against the

and night for the Americans-ln this
sacred season and state of things,
certain persons in Charleston, began
to equip p~rivateers against England.
Grieved that his countrymen should
be capable of such an outrage against
Justice, against humanity, and every
thing sacred among men; and equally
grieved to see them so far forget, so
far belittle themselves as to become
willing cats paws of one nation, to
tear another to pieces, he instantly
issued his proclamation stating 1t as
the "duty, and therefore the interest
Of the United States, from all a
ner of interference in the unhappy
contest"
This so enraged Mr.. Genet, that he
threatened to appeal from the presl-
dent to the people! i. e. in plain Eng
fish, to try to overthrow the govern
ment of the United States!
But, thank God, the American peo-
pie were too wise and virtuous to hear
these things without feeling and eX-
pressing a suitable indignation. They
rallied around their beloved president;
and soon gave this most inconslderate
stranger to understand, that he had
insulted the sacred person of their
father.
Washington bore this insult with
his usual good temper! but at the same
time took such prudent measures with
the French government, that Mr..
Genet was quickly recalled.
Having at length attained the acme
of all his wishes-having lived to see
a general and efficient government
adopted, and for eight years IN sue
cessful operation, eXalting his coun-
try from the brink of infamy and
ruin to the highest ground of pros,
peritv and honor, both at home ana
abroad: abroad, peace with the In
dians-with Britain-with Spain-and,
some light heartburnings excepted,
peace with France; and with al! the
world at home, her shining plough
shares laying open the best treasures
of the earth-her ships flying over
every sea-distant nations feeding on
her bread, and manufacturing her
staples-her revenue rapidly 1ncreaS-
inc with her credit, religion, learning,
arts. and whatever tends to national
glory and happiness, he determined to
law down that load Of public care
which he had borne 50 long, ana
which. now in his 66th year, he found
was growing too heavy for HIM, bul

LIFE OF WASHINGTON

learned that they were not made of
such pliable stuff as the Indians and
Spaniards. Nor had the British alone
to complain of; he presently found
1t as hard to please his own country
men, in the matter of a treaty, as to
please them.
For whether it was that the two
Eations still retained a most unchris-
tian recollection of what they had
suffered from one another during the
past war-or whether, more unchris-
tianly still, they felt the odious spirit
of rivals, and sickened at each others
prosperity-or whether each nation
thought that the ships of the other
were navigated by their seamen; but
so it was that the prejudices of the
two people, though sprung from the
same progenitOrs, fan so high as to
render it extremely difficult for Wash
ington to settle matters between them.
But it was at length happily effected,
without the horrors of another war.
Though the treaty which brought
about this desirable event was entirely
eXecrated by great numbers of sensi-
bic and honest men, no doubt, yet
Washington, led, as he says, by duty
and humanity, ratified it.
If the signing of the treaty dis
played his firmness, the operation of
it has, perhaps, shown his wisdom.
For, surely, since that time, no coun-
try like this ever so progressed in the
public and private blessings of indus
try, wealth, population, and morals.
Whether greater, or, indeed, equal
blessings would have resulted from a
bloody war with England at that time,
let others determine.
But scarcely had Washington got
clear of his embarrassment with Brit
ain, before still worse We're thrown in
his way by France.
The cause was this-"The French
army" as Doctor Franklin observes,
"having served apprenticeship to Lib
"erty, in America, on going back to
France, set up for themselves"
Throughout the kingdom, wherever
they went, they could talk of nothing
but the Americans. "Ah, happy peo-
"ple!" said they, neither depressing
NOR oppressed, they mingle together
"as one great family of brothers;
"where every mar is free, every mar
"labors for himself, and wipes with
o the sweat from MS DfONll, De
"cause It's the earnest of plenteous
"food and clothing, education, and de-
"'lights, for his children!"
The people everywhere listened with
eagerness to this description of Ameri-
can happiness, and sighed to think of
their own wretchedness. The smother
ed fire soon broke out, the press teem-
ed with papers and pamphlets on the
rights of mantle True Ends of
Government,-and the Blessing of
Liberty. The eyes of the great ma
ton were presently opened to a sight
of her degraded and wretched state.
Then suddenly springing up, like a
mighty giantess from the hated bed
of violation and dishonOr, she began
a course of vengeance as terrible as
it had been long delayed. The I'M
