LtJGUSTA, Dec. 4.
I provt the National Intelligencer.
I Aiii period when the legiJjative body
I jouc to relume the exercise of its im- ■
Ijrtaat fun&ons, it may be intcrcfting
L c»'4'-iire into the causes which have in- j
Lai the unrivalled happiness we enjoy. 1
l ne primary cause is the republican fenti
lients of the people, and the republican
Irniture of the government they have a
r„ :c j. Id fuboidi nation to this circum-
Lnce are others of a nature only ft con- J
| ar y to if, on the obi'ervance of which
fhc true prosperity of nations always de.
BVlluS. a
I j. Freedom of reflection, fpcech and !
anting.
[ 2, Freedom of aftion in the various
Lcupaiious of life,
[ 3. Taxescommenfurate, and not more
L-n commensurate with the lionelt wants
Ls the government.
I 4. The lead pciTible political conaefti
im with foreign nations.
5. A difpofiaon to maintain peace with
til the wofid.
;/ 'l’hefc ate the. pre-eminent features
which have diitinguilhed American inili-
L*,ons from all others'; they are the true
features of the republican system ; where-
Lcr they exist man is free, and wherever
lr lC y are wanting he is a Have. In the
Isgvee in which our own government has
llicrilhed these principles has the national
Ltyiueh and character risen ; aixl where,
ter t.lcy have been neglected or vio-
Lied, private happiness and public cha-
Litcr, domestic tranquility and external
have been hazarded or loft.
I Irwas the difgraccful attack of a fe-
Icral adminiltraiion upon the freedom of
lie' profs, bi' the paiiage of a Sedition
lift, that cafta fire-brand into the midlt
E the natibn, whose .baleful effects wore
lily arretted by the removal of the cause
■inch produced them.
I Jt was the impoftion of taxes, odious
B 1 heir nature, and oppreftive in their a-
Ijunr, for artiheial and UHgitimate pur
ples, that produced one infurreflion and
■enact'd another, that eftabiilhed a holt
I; political inft laments in the fliape of
Bienne officers, and that fcattcred far
id wide the convkdion that the gqvern-
Eent had other views than ihofe which re
id tofupplying its hand! wants.
I It was the rapid extension of diploma
|: embattles, and the numerous overtures
it European alliances, that justly excited
i universal femiment of alarm, left the
■nited States (hould be drawn into the
irtex of European intrigue, and be bound
Bviftimat its bloody altar.
I And, it was the apprehenlion that the
liiion would be forced by the rafnnefs of
it government into open war that, per
il's, more forcibly than any other con-
Bhration, produced that honest and en-
Biueneld pause of national zeal, which,
By mfurmg the return of calm reason, rc-
Bihblilhed the peace of the country, and
with it, the peace of every citizen it fcon
iined,
■ Wife in the experience of errors that
ivefo recently carried us astray from the
Be path ol national glory which here, 1
id here only is the path both of nation
■and individual happiness, it is to be
ipd that the American people will hcre-
Ber diftinCtly perceive t’neir real inte
ids by clinging ro the fundamental prin
i'lts with which they are inseparably
Bnacfled.
I Hitherto the present legislature, guid
■by thde principles, have zealously
■fried them into effedl. The faithful
■cutors cl national fcnilment, the
■wind on which they stand is lofty and
■amanding ; and may they, by the wif
■l aud patriotilin of their future mea
■b add to the lull re df a well earned

moment, when public attention is itrong
ly exci.ed by the proceedings of the Spa-,

to the Georgia claim, it was certainly
an object of public expediency, that the
pretentions of that Hate ihouid be quiet
ed. The facrifice, if it be one, is not
too great, that enables congrcfs to make
fach difpofiiions with regard to the Mil- «
liilippi Territory, as may promote its
rapid population, and thereby eppofe a
formidable frontier to the foreign pro.
