be further juflified by the recent

neutrality compatible with our
true interefls and honor.

LIBERTY of the PRESS.
“ Curfd is the man, and void cf law and
right,
Unworrhy property, unworthy light ;
Unfir lor public rule or private care,
That wretch, that monftcr who delights in
trat ;
Whofe lull is murder, and whofe horrid joy,
To tear his country and his kind deftro*.”
Pope's HiaJ,
“ Without freedom of tho’t
there can be no fuch thing as
wifdom ; and no fuch thing as
public liberty without freedom
of fpeech : which is the right
of every man, as far as by it he
does not hurt and controul the
right of another ; and this is the
only check which it ought to
j fufFer, and the only bounds
which it ought to know.
I 44 Whoever would overturn
the liberty of the nation, mud
begin by fubduing the freedom
of fpeech.
j “To do publicmifchief with
out hearing of it, is the prero
gative and felicity of tyranny,
j All miniders therefore, who
; were oppreffors, or intended to
be oppreflbrs, have been loud
ill their complaints againft the
freedom of fpeech, and the li
cenfe of the prefs; and always
redrained or endeavored to re
drain both. In confequence of
this, they have brow beaten
writers, punifhed them violently
andagaind law, and burned their
works. By all which they (hew
ed how much truth alarmed
them, and how much they were
at enmity with truth.
“ Freedom offpccch produces
excellent writers, and encourages
men of fine genius. Tacitus
tells us, that the Roman com
monwealth bred great and nu
merous authors ; but when it
was enflaved thofe great wits
were no more ; tyranny had
ufurped the place of equality,
which is the foul of liberty, and
dedroyed public courage; the
minds of men, terrified by unjud
power, degeneratecHnto all the
vilenefs and methods of fervi
tude : abjefl fycophancy and
blind (übmiffion grew the only
means of preferment, and indeed
of fafety : men durft not open
their mouths but to flatter.
“ Pilny the younger obfcrres,
that this dread of tyranny had
fuch effe&, that the fenate, the
great Roman fenate, became at
laft ftupid and dumb. And in
one of his epi flies, (peaking of
the works of his uncle, he makes
an apology for eight of them, as
not written with the fame vigor
: wliich was to be found in the
■ reft;; for that thefc eight were
; written in the reign of Nero ,
: when the fpirit of writing was
- tramped by fear,”
